[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

This list's search engine not working?
by HaJo Schatz 22 May '24

22 May '24

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0 results. Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by author, I do find my posts. OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the same issue when searching for given topics. Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably?

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 16 May '21

16 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg

Ethernet port "bounce" command?
by Doug H. 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

I am having an odd problem with my ethernet port. I assume this came with a dnf update but that was some weeks ago so I can't help figure out what update might have done it. When first discovered I think I found that booting from an older kernel did not fix it. I assume that the physical interface is not the problem since a physical "bounce" always fixes it and it shows no other problems. To explain that... The trouble is that the ethernet port will not come out of the "no- carrier" state no matter how much I mess with the various commands that are supposed to effect it. The simple fix is to physically unplug and replug the cable. When it is not working (each reboot) there are not lights on. The physical "bounce" lights up the LEDs and it comes right up. So, I am asking for something to add to rc.local that does the same thing. I use a wifi adapter for my main/Internet connection. This port is just used for a wired link to my Raspberry Pi. The command that seems like it *should* work: sudo mii-tool --reset enp5s0 But that does not fix it. Info: The below is taken while it is working... sudo lspci -v 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Fedora 33 vs Mageia 8
by David 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

I am curious what the similarities are between Fedora 33 and the newly released Mageia 8, and what the differences are. Today's release announcment of Mageia 8, alleges that it ships with three repositories, one of which is disabled. One of their repos contains non-free stuff, and can be disabled. The disabled one contains the controversial codecs which may be illegal in your country. I recall someone suggesting that Mageia can ship their iso that way because tjey are in France. I do believe that the developmemt team at Mageia is only about 30 volunteers. From my perspective, they do not use third-party repos. Right ? I assume Mageia's core repo is not as up-to-date as Fedoras. I assume Mageia 8 is way behind Fedora 34 Beta. It would seem to me, that if a user prefers LXDE, or LXQt, or Mate or Xfce or a window-manager, that it would not matter what distro you choose. I do not think Mageia has Budgie DE. Mageia only offers one iso, where as Fedora has custom isos. Right ? Meaning, in order to get Mageia 8 LXQt, you must first install Mageia 8. I think a newbie could learn on Mageia 8 and then later on learn to prefer Fedora. Right ? I assume they do not use anaconda as their instllaler, but have something that the old Mandriva had. Feel free to enlightmemt me. Cheers, David Locklear

midco DNS corruption?
by Michael Hennebry 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Whenever I mistype a URL, it gets turned into food for Midcontinent's search engine. What is really annoying is that the back button does not take me back to what I typed. Also, the search results rarely includes the site I wanted. My suspicion is that this is done at least partly through DNS corruption. Anyone know for sure? I'm running F33 connected directly to Midco's modem/router. Assuming DNS corruption is at least part of the issue, how, if at all, do I bypass Midco's DNS?

libatomic1 library - finding a safe package for

Everyone: Several days ago, Skype pushed an update for Linux that I cannot install. I cannot install it because it requires a new version of the GNU Atomic Library called libatomic1. Not "libatomic," which is what Fedora uses, but "libatomic1" (note the placement of that digit "1") for which Fedora seems to have no builds. I have found builds for several RPM-based distros, including Alt-Linux Sisyphus, OpenMandriva, and OpenSUSE. Question: may anyone safely install any of these packages into a Fedora system? Temlakos

Plasma on Xorg Fails to Start After Last System Update

Plasma under Wayland runs quite happily albeit without resolution scaling. Gnome under Wayland runs fine without scaling and Gnome under Xorg also runs fine. How do I determine why the apps are failing with Plasma under Xorg now? regards, Steve

What to do about a GUI application not appearing in Gnome Software?
by Matti Pulkkinen 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hello! I noticed that RStudio doesn't show up in Gnome Software's search on F33 Workstation. My understanding is that graphical applications should be installable through Gnome Software, but I'm not sure whether filing a bug would be the right thing to do here, ot whether there's something else I should do instead. -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

Btrfs performance
by László Pál 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hi, I have a server mainly used for central log collection (syslog-ng collects logs and put in files). It is quite big, with 5TB partition allocated for logs. I’m using BTRFS on this partition with on-the-fly compression, so I can save lots of space without playing with logrotate and compress. What I’ve observed the i/o performance of this partition is terrible. Right now I’m deleting some old logs (couple thousand files) for hours. Is there any way to improve the performance of a partition like this or should I consider to move data to xfs w/o compression and implement some logrotate based archiving? Pál, László vlad(a)vlad.hu

Virtual background for Zoom video
by Paul Smith 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Dear All, I would like to replace the background behind in my webcam video feed with an image. However, that is not possible, as it requires a “green screen”, which I do not have. So, my idea is to use a virtual camera with a background image chosen by me and feed that into Zoom. Is that possible on Fedora? Thanks in advance, Paul

Networking issue in VMs
by Adam Mercer 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Hi I've started having a strange problem the last couple of days with my VMs, I use both VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox on my Fedora 33 system and recently the network connectivity inside my VMs stopped working after some point. I installed an Ubuntu VM, in VMWare. and was using it for several days without issue and then yesterday I booted up the VM and I could not access the outside work from within my VM. As far as the VM was concerned everything seemed fine, it had an IP address in the expected range there was just no connectivity. I needed to do some work in a Debian based machine so just quickly stood up a new VM, this time Debian Buster. As before it worked fine. However this morning I booted up the VM and encountered the same problem. With this VM I had created a snapshot shortly after standing it up when i knew it was working, so I reverted the machine to the snapshot and again I had no connectivity within the VM. I then tried VirtualBox, I stood up a Debian Buster VM and booted into it, it worked fine. At some point later network operations stopped working like with VMWare. Any idea what could cause networking to stop working within my VMs? Cheers Adam

I want to map my Fn key to work on LXDE environment.
by Cătălin George Feștilă 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

The Fn key is the wakeup key when the machine is suspended. If anyone wants to map it to other functions, then that's okay. I want to map the Fn key on Fedora 33 LXDE. My keyboard hardware come with an Fn key, see: [img]https://i.imgur.com/HJlpSEt.jpg[/img] These are the infos about my Linux and hardware: $xmodmap -pke | grep "=$" keycode 8 = keycode 93 = keycode 97 = keycode 103 = keycode 120 = keycode 132 = keycode 149 = keycode 154 = keycode 168 = keycode 178 = keycode 183 = keycode 184 = keycode 197 = keycode 202 = keycode 217 = keycode 219 = keycode 222 = keycode 230 = keycode 247 = keycode 248 = keycode 249 = keycode 250 = keycode 252 = keycode 253 = The Fn key is disable because I don't have a response from xev command: $ xev The GRUB starts with: $ cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux selinux=1 enforcing=1 GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

Verifying a Fedora-33 Image
by Jonathan Ryshpan 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

I have downloaded the Fedora-33 KDE spin and am attempting to verify it. Following the instructions (appended below for convenience) I have: * Imported the keys using curl (where do they go?) and * Verified the CHECKSUM file using gpg The verification fails with this message: $ gpg --verify-files *-CHECKSUM gpg: Signature made Fri 23 Oct 2020 08:09:07 AM PDT gpg: using RSA key 963A2BEB02009608FE67EA4249FD77499570FF31 gpg: Good signature from "Fedora (33) <fedora-33-primary(a)fedoraproject.org>" [unknown] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: 963A 2BEB 0200 9608 FE67 EA42 49FD 7749 9570 FF31 This doesn't look good. How can I verify the CHECKSUM file? Verification instructions from https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/verify follow: Next, import Fedora's GPG key(s): $ curl https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg | gpg --import You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here. Now, verify that the CHECKSUM file is valid: $ gpg --verify-files *-CHECKSUM The CHECKSUM file should have a good signature from one of the following keys: - 12C944D0 - Fedora 32 - 3C3359C4 - Fedora 31 - CFC659B9 - Fedora 30 - DBBDCF7C - IOT 2019 Finally, now that the CHECKSUM file has been verified, check that the image's checksum matches: $ sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!

Fedora 33 and HDMI KVM switch
by Paolo Galtieri 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Folks, I'm having an issue running Fedora 33 and an external monitor connected to an HDMI KVM switch. Here is the way it's connected: Laptop thunderbolt 3 connector -> 4 port USB c to USB 3.0 hub -> USB to HDMI adapter -> HDMI KVM switch. The mouse and keyboard work, however Fedora 33 does not detect the external monitor. Even if I take the KVM switch out of the equation Fedora 33 still does not find the external monitor. This laptop also boots to Windows 10 and everything works fine there. I have an older laptop running Fedora 31 connected as follows: laptop HDMI port -> HDMI KVM switch. This works fine. Any help is appreciated. The KVM switch is a 4 port AV Access HDMI 2.0 KVM Switch Paolo

Can't reliably right click with mouse due to click interval... F33 Workstation, Plasma,
by linux guy 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I recently switched from a wireless USB mouse to a wired USB mouse. I cannot reliably right click links in Firefox because the click interval on the mouse isn't set up right. How does one modify the mouse click parameters in Fedora and/or Plasma ? I've looked in System->Settings but can't find anything for click intervals.

Preventing display manager running on gpgpu
by Neal Becker 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

After re-installing f33 following a disk crash, I was having problems that I believe were caused by nouveau trying to run on my gpgpu nvidia 2080 ti. I don't need or want a display manager running on it. How can I tell if wayland and/or X is configured to run on that card, and how can I disable it for that card? I also have a built-in vga that runs a display. Thanks, Neal

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.

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 ?
