OT: missing hard drive (SSD) with Fedora 30
by Ranjan Maitra 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hi, My apologies for the OT nature of this post. I have a Dell T5810 which has a SSD drive that is 2 x 60gb stripped to 120Gb. (ONe was a raid version of the other.) This has /, /boot, /usr/local and swap as partitions. I also have three 2TB (SATA, non-SSD) hard drives (one that is raid of the other and the third simply backing up usign rsync every hour, since I am old-fashioned and like seeing what is happening). This has my /home and is not in issue. Last week, I switched the configuration to UEFI boot from Legacy, reinstalled Fedora 30, and updated to the latest stable 5.1.5. Everything was going fine until last night when there was an exorbitant demand on memory (because of a program which progressively asked for more memory) and everything froze. So I had to do a hard reboot. However, the machine now does not come up. All I get is the splash screen 120GB drive "Offline" Does anyone have suggestions as to what to do to get this drive back online? Apologies again. Many thanks, Ranjan -- Ranjan Maitra <maitra(a)gmx.com>

Iso on USB
by Patrick Dupre 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hello, Something strange to me: it is said: Fedora Media Writer destroys all data on the USB stick. If you need a non-destructive write method (to preserve existing data on your USB stick) or support for 'data persistence', you can use the livecd-iso-to-disk utility on Fedora. Then, livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso /dev/sdX where X could be (if I am correct) c (/dev/sdc) Why this will preserve the USB stick? I would have understand if it was /dev/sdc1 (or something else). Doing livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso /dev/sdc would preserve my partitions sdc1, sdc2 ? I am missing something.

WG looks nice, but it can not deal with smart cards (yet, I hope it will be added). Also it lacks encapsulation; essential for punching restrictive firewalls.

Using openvpn intensively, and on large population. Though not (yet) on Fedora. By the way “on fedora commercially” ? If you use the code commercially, shouldn’t you switch to Red-Hat? Kind regards.

google-chrome weirdness
by Tom Horsley 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

Google-chrome has started rendering the "Oswald" web font with all the characters in a string mostly on top of one another, but only for my user. See: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Oswald If I create a completely new user, log out and log back in as new user, google-chrome works. That web page above renders just fine. If I merely rename ~/.config/google-chrome and run google-chrome as my original user, it still screws up the font. So who knows where besides ~/.config/google-chrome google-chrome will get information? Because something about my user screws it up even when I try to start from scratch with no saved profile.

Konqueror :-{
by Beartooth 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

When did Konqueror become enslaved to Google? Is there a way to liberate it? Or at least to get it back to displaying man pages? I don't use Google, except by way of Duckduckgo or other privacy- providing intermediary. In fact, my main and almost only use of Konqueror is for man pages, which fonts big enough for my ancient eyeballs format unreadably elsewhere. (I run Mate, and if I could find a second string to Brasero that I could count on, I could uninstall all of KDE.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.
