24 hour Thunderbird -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Jun '19

23 Jun '19

Fedora-30 insists that I use Thunderbird 60.6.1 (64-bit), refuses to dnf downgrade it, so once again I am trying to get it to do some of the things I find most convenient, in this case use 24 hour time instead of AM/PM. Adding "export LC_TIME=C" to .bashrc m\does not change it. I think there was an °add-On that did it for me in the past but that's one of many that shows not compatible in my Thunderbird. Can anyone tell me how to change this? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box83 FEDORA-30/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Hello, I am trying to access to my Android (8.1.0, kernel 4.4.95+) through the USB cable, but I fails. Using sshfs, it works fine: sshfs pdupre@192.168.1.15:/storage/emulated/0 -p 2222 /home/pdupre/Android and I get all the hierarchy Now through the USB cable, I can see the Android: It is mounted as A20Pro I can umount, but the Folder is empty If I try: ls /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=Blackview_A20Pro_BVA20Pro0008811/ it is also empty If I try to edit something, I get touch: cannot touch '/var/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=Blackview_A20Pro_BVA20Pro0008811/test': Permission denied lsusb: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0e8d:2008 MediaTek Inc.

firewall logging rule stopped logging to syslog
by Sam Varshavchik 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

I have a firewall forwarding rule with a logging option: <rule family="ipv4"> <forward-port ... /> <log level="info"> <limit value="1/h"/> </log> </rule> Checking my logs, they seem to have stopped after 2019-06-02. Checking rpm logs, the last firewalld update was in May, so that can't be it. There have been fairly frequent kernel updates, not sure but maybe that's when the kernel 5.1 series came out? I'm not very knowledgeable in iptables-verse, but I do see a reasonable iptable rule, "iptables -t mangle -n -L" shows: Chain PRE_FedoraServer_log (1 references) target prot opt source destination LOG tcp – 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:#### limit: avg 1/hour burst 5 LOG flags 0 level 6 But these log entries stopped dropping into /var/log/messages some time between 2019-06-02 and now. Anyone know if this is a known issue? Not sure who to file the bug against.

gnome-terminal
by Patrick Dupre 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Hello, In FC30 (maybe it was the same in fc38), when we have a gnome-terminal opened, we can easy open a new one just by clicking on +. However, if the first terminal has been open owner preferences like usr/bin/gnome-terminal --zoom=0.9 $* when the 2nd terminal is opened, theses preferences are lost. Indeed, it would be preferable that the same call is done. Even worst, using the gnome-terminal preferences (i.e. by creating his own Profile), we do not have the option to set the zoom option (the minimum with is 1). Having different zooming values induces a bizarre behavior like a rescaling of the windows every time that we switch from one terminal to another one. Am I missing something? Thank. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===========================================================================

Fedora 30 jobmemd-daemon
by bradbell＠seanet.com 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

I upgraded to Fedora 30, in a virtual machine, and it is very slow at responding to typing in a terminal window. When I execute the top, the first process is PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11325 root 20 0 135m 27m 1960 S 16.1 0.0 1192:48 jobmemd-daemon I do not see anything when I search for jobmemd-daemon. What is it ? Perhaps it is causing the response problems and there is OK to stop it ? If so, how ?

UID and GID on F30
by Tim 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi, I recently set up Fedora 30 as a new install on a blank SDD. When I went to create my user it got UID 1000, as I expected (since I was the first user). But, not as I expected, it got GID 1001, because something else had already grabbed it: $ cat /etc/group|grep 1000 hugetlbfs:x:1000:openvswitch I don't know what hugetlbfs is, nor openvswitch, my brief search against those terms doesn't suggest they're something I've set out to use. Nor do I consider them to be users of any kind. So why are they/it using GUI 1000? I always though ID numbers above 1000 were for people. Not being GID 1000 is a bit of a pain, NFS-wise, since 1000 belongs to me on other devices, and 1001 belongs to others. My quick workaround was to remove my private 1001 group from my user account, and pick the generic 100 users group. Though this doesn't stop the issue that whatever hugetlbfs/openvswitch is, has access to my GID on other devices. Can I remove them? Can I change their GID? Why are they picking numbers in the user range? If applications are going to start doing this, it could be a problem.

New install

Hello, On a system with 2 HD, 1 SSH (sdb) and 1 standard HD (sda) of 2 TBit I wanted to make a fresh (and basic) installation on sda I created a 15 GB ext4 partition for that purpose. Using the installer (from a USB stick). I selected my partition (sda6) for the system (/) But I get the following message: Your bios-based system needs a special partition to boot from a GPT disk label.

Just did an upgrade and it took 12 hours??
by Michael D. Setzer II 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Have a notebook that I had installed Fedora on some time ago. Have upgraded it via DNF a few times, but this time I actually was watching it versus just coming back later to find it done. The clean installation only took about 20 minutes originally, but I've added a lot of things to it. Showed about 5000 packages. Download was fine with about 5.3G, and then the upgrade reboot. It showed 9999 items, with the installation of the new packages, and the cleanup of the old, and finally the verify complete. Ended up taking just over 12 hours? Just wondering why the process took so long. Is that normal?? +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

EFI partition
by Patrick Dupre 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hello, What is the advantage in having the /boot/efi on a single partition, and not /boot for example (which was the case before EFI)? In addition, the /boot/efi is a fat32. Thank to clarify this point. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===========================================================================
