automatic mount of partitions
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I want to automatically mount a partition from a computer on another
computer of my private network.
I have computer A (a desktop) and a computer B (a laptop) and I want to
automatically mount a partition of A on B when B starts.
I know that this can be done via autofs, but I read somewhere that there
is another way to perform this action, I can't remember where!
Was it a dream? Could someone give me a light?
Thank you.
PS. Of course, I don't want to block B at boot time if A is not on the
network!

purple-gowhatsapp on Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp on Fedora? Any recommendations? I like Pidgin though I do not use it much any longer (have not for 10 years, I would guess).
Thanks,
Ranjan

Thunderbird quirk
by Robert McBroom
Sometime in early April the mailserver on yahoo.com started sending much
of the list entries to spam. I noticed because all that was coming
through on thunderbird were replies. Anyone had similar experience?

I/O error on a file on a backup drive
by Robert Moskowitz
I am having a problem with rsyncing:
rsync -ah --stats --delete /home/ /media/HD103SI/backups/homebase/home
rsync:
readlink_stat("/media/HD103SI/backups/homebase/home/abba/abba/Excel/Home/Power
usage.xls") failed: Input/output error (5)
rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat
"/media/HD103SI/backups/homebase/home/abba/abba/Excel/Home/Power
usage.xls": Input/output error (5)
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
So I go to the directory and I try to ls P* and it hangs.
I tried to remove the bad file:
rm Power\ usage.xls
rm: cannot remove `Power usage.xls': Input/output error
How can I get this bad file out of the way so I can back up properly?
thanks

How to unbreak pinentry-curses in F32
by Sam Varshavchik
Sharing the following for the benefit of others. Entering a passphrase for
your gpg key with a passphrase is broken again, if you're on a simple ssh
connection, from the looks of it.
It originally broke a year or so ago – maybe longer, I don't recall exactly
-- when the simple prompt for your passphrase was replaced by a separate
pinentry tool that wanted to open a pretty X window for that. Nobody uses
ssh anymore, apparently, and checking DISPLAY and falling back to a terminal
prompt wasn't very obvious, so everyone had to figure out how to do
echo pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses >~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
Well, even that no longer works:
$ git tag -s -a libcxx/0.21.0/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` -m 'Tag version 0.21.0'
error: gpg failed to sign the data
error: unable to sign the tag
… aaaand, we're done.
stracing what was going on wasn't very enlightening:
[pid 2581154] read(4, "INQUIRE PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 2581156 curses 1.1.0 -
gnome localhost:10.0\n", 1002) = 70
[pid 2581154] write(2, "[GNUPG:] PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 2581156 curses 1.1.0 -
gnome localhost:10.0", 70 <unfinished …>
[ buncha noise, and finally ]
[pid 2581154] read(4, "ERR 83918950 Inappropriate ioctl for device
<Pinentry>\n", 1002) = 55
And that's it. After reading random man pages, here and there, and simply
trying things at random, I discovered that setting GPG_TTY environment
variable makes pinentry-curses work again:
GPG_TTY=`tty` git tag -s [options]
And, pinentry-curses works again. There you go.
Why can't this be an obvious default fallback, so everything works
flawlessly, by default, for everyone? Would love to hear a logical
explanation.

F32 upgrade fails (boots into Emergency mode)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was commenting yesterday afternoon on how painless the upgrade had been so far for me (4 laptops, 1 workstation). Got jinxed on a workstation at work! For me, F31 got upgraded to F32 using the methods oulined in https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/. All steps went smoothly, until it was time to come up: I was thrown into emergency mode after the upgrade.
As instructed by the emergency mode, here is the output of journalctl and rdsosreport.txt
Note that I have changed the hostname to hostname.suppressed (I don't know what else has the machine's identity even though it behind VPN).
Output of journalctl:
$ fpaste journal.txt
Uploading (115.3KiB)...
https://paste.centos.org/view/b759a587
rdsosreport.txt:
$ fpaste rdsosreport.txt
Uploading (136.7KiB)...
https://paste.centos.org/view/ec37f118
Any suggestions as to what is wrong? The machine is sort of hard to get to simply because it is not online now, and I have to go in to get more information but I will try and provide additional requests for information in as timely a manner as possible.
Many thanks again and best wishes,
Ranjan
