dnf-automatic command_email failing to send email?
by Gunnar Niels 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

Hello, I'm trying to configure dnf-automatic to automatically upgrade my system on a daily basis and send me a summary via mailx using my mailgun account. I have mailx configured and functioning as expected; I can use the 'mail' cmd to send mail, and have other services using it to send mail. The following gist[1] has my /etc/dnf/automatic.conf; all I've really changed about it is to specify to use 'command_email' and uncommented the default 'command_format' and 'stdin_format', along with setting the from/to emails. I've dropped some debug logs into the python it runs, and I can see it gets to the emitter fine. I was even able to send an example email with the emmitter that was constructed by manually setting the subject and body and running `emitters[0].commit()`[2]! The error I'm seeing in the dnf-automatic.service logs is: Jul 29 06:45:16 <host>dnf-automatic[6226]: . . . message not sent. Is this is a bug or do I have something misconfigured? Would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction.

Cannot display Sixel Graphics via img2sixel on xTerm
by Sreyan Chakravarty 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

Hi, I have tried and failed to display a SiXel image on xTerm console. I have compiled libsixel from source from here: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel since the Fedora COPR for libsixel does not work(https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/saahriktu/libsixel/): $ sudo dnf copr enable saahriktu/libsixel Enabling a Copr repository. Please note that this repository is not part of the main distribution, and quality may vary. The Fedora Project does not exercise any power over the contents of this repository beyond the rules outlined in the Copr FAQ at <https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#what-i-can-build-…>, and packages are not held to any quality or security level. Please do not file bug reports about these packages in Fedora Bugzilla. In case of problems, contact the owner of this repository. Do you really want to enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/saahriktu/libsixel? [y/N]: y Error: This repository does not have any builds yet so you cannot enable it now. Even though the COPR has 1 build I cannot add it for some reason: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/saahriktu/libsixel/builds/ Thus I had to build from source. The build of libsixel completed without any errors. The complete config.log is here: https://pastebin.com/6c6ExwcL The current xTerm package in Fedora has SiXel graphics enabled. But even after doing all that I am unable to get any output: $ img2sixel /home/sreyan/Pictures/neofetch_test.png outputs nothing. Is this a problem with xTerm or the libsixel library ? If anyone has any ideas as to were I am going wrong, please let me know. Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan

Re: Fonts "forgotten" on boot (changes to font cache)

One of the solutions there--deleting everything in ~/.cache/fontconfig/--seemed to restore my system's ability to see manually installed fonts without having to re-run 'fc-cache' again. The explanations described there make sense, too: while I can't be completely sure of the actual sequence of events, I usually run 'fc-cache -fsv' after manually installing fonts but I did remember slipping up once a while back and only using the '-fv' flags. Given that I'm using the same version of fontconfig that supposedly fixed the problem, I suppose I should add a comment to that bug report that the issue still exists in some form.

Create bootable disk with fedora - but not using live-CD
by Barry Scott 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

I want to create a bootable USB stick that runs fedora. I do not want to create a Live-CD USB stick because live-CD fails to boot on my main PC. And no one seems to know how to fix this. By using a read-write USB stick I can add in debug code to the boot process and try to findout what is hanging the boot process. What my google-fu is failed to do is figure out how to find instruction on how to do this with getting live-CD instructions. I'm guessing that I should be able to use anaconda or dnf to get the heavy lifting done. Does anyone know what the steps I need to follow are? Barry
