PDF displays but won't print
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

The PDF file at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OeiRviDzunvZ1kVJjClwYCj6lyUNnCdv/view?usp=… opens correctly using Okular, but will only print as a blank page (whether from Okular or just using 'lpr'). Any thoughts on why this is happening? No errors appear in the journal so I'm assuming it's not because of missing fonts. poc

workstation has become ill
by Neal Becker 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

I've been running F32 on a shiny new amd dual epyc workstation for about 1 year. The system is now remote to me and not convenient to access. About 1 week ago the system became unresponsive. I noticed errors logged about I/O errors, so I guessed it was an issue with the SSD. I went there and replaced the SSD with a shiny new samsung 1tb. Reinstalled F33 and got my vpns going so I could access again from home. But things are acting very strangely. Install was lightning fast. But after a while the machine becomes unusable. Any command takes minutes to react. I am unable to reboot it. sudo reboot after a very long time does nothing. I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/messages (I installed rsyslog). When I can eventually get top to run, I see systemd is in D state. There is plenty of free memory, and the machine has 64GB. I'm going to visit again and this time yank out the nvidia gpu. This is just a wild guess based on 1) it isn't critical for use right now 2) it places a load on the power supply just in case that's the issue 3) it's the only thing I can think to try. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this.

With today's updates I saw these messages: Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_source_route (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/accept_source_route (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/promote_secondaries (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/promote_secondaries (explicit setting exists). Should I care? Thanks, Neal -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

No USB keyboard or mouse on login ? F33 Workstation, USB devices.
by linux guy 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

I just did an update to my F33 Workstation install and now I can log in. I can't move the mouse pointer on the login screen. The keyboard doesn't appear to work either. Both are USB devices. My login manager is GDM. I'm running Plasma as my desktop manager. I don't think I have ssh enabled on that computer. How do I resolve this ?

Change UId range, renumber user ids
by Friedrich Schäuffelhut 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hello, last year I set up a FreeIPA installation. It works very well! I lately discovered a problem with /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid used by rootless Podman (may be also Docker) containers. During setup we decided to start the UID range exactly at 100.000. We picked that for no real reason other than we wanted a round number... We thought it would make sense and din't give it a second though. What we did not know at that time is: The /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid system used by rootless Podman (may be also Docker) containers also starts exactly with uid 100.000. So now if we would add users to /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid those users would be allowed using UID/GID fro the FreeIPA range. This requires attention each time a user is added to /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid and therefore can lead to potential security issues. We use configuration management for setting up our systems but we would prefer if we could achieve a safe default. We would like to fix this without reinstalling FreeIPA. We have already a number of hosts, users and certificates enrolled. I am now looking for a way to move the FreeIPA UID range to a different area, e.g. 10.000 - 20.000. We run 3 replicas connected to each other. I found the ipa comands 'idrange-add' and 'idrange-del' and wonder if I could use those to 1. add a new range at 10.000 2. Update UIDs of existing users 3. remove the old range at 100.000. I am a bit hesitant trying this without understanding what complications I could run in. Do you have any suggestions?

Windows 10 + F33 + SSD + RAID
by Paolo Galtieri 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Folks, I have a new dell laptop. I tried to install Fedora 33 on it, but it failed to find any disks. I searched the internet and discovered that if my BIOS has RAID enabled F33 is unable to find any drives. I disabled RAID and enable AHCI and was then able to install and boot F33. I then tried to boot Windows 10. This failed until I entered the bitlock key. I then went back into the BIOS and re-enabled RAID and verified Windows 10 boots without error, but Fedora 33 no longer does since it can't find any drives. What if I want RAID enabled? Is there a solution to this problem? Paolo
