sieve scripts
by Tim 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi, I've just gotten around to using sieve with Dovecot, and trying to work out how scripts should be written has been a bit of a headache. There doesn't seem to be coherent documentation, just various people's cobbled together notes. So I'm wondering if anybody can see anything glaringly wrong, or missing, that I haven't noticed in this script. It seems to be working, but I don't know if that's by accident, or I've done it right. require ["fileinto"]; ##### mail test 1 ##### #if header :contains "subject" "mailtest" #{ # fileinto "tests"; # stop; #} ##### Fedora list ##### if header :contains "List-Id" "users.lists.fedoraproject.org" { fileinto "lists.Fedora 2021"; stop; } ###### Fedora 32 updates ##### if allof ( header :contains "List-Id" "package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org", header :contains "subject" "Fedora 32 update" ) { fileinto "announcements.Fedora 32"; stop; } ##### Fedora 33 updates ##### if allof ( header :contains "List-Id" "package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org", header :contains "subject" "Fedora 33 update" ) { fileinto "announcements.Fedora 33"; stop; } -- uname -rsvp Linux 5.11.15-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 16 14:19:43 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

ifcfg scripts?
by Tom Horsley 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I just built a fedora 34 virtual machine. Networking clearly works in it since I downloaded updates. But inside the virtual machine there are no /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files. Has NetworkManager completely moved where it stores network information now? I used to be able to copy all the ifcfg scripts to get the network setup the same as the old fedora had. Do I have to recreate my network setup with a bunch of nmcli commands for fedora 34?

Installation on externnal SSD
by Patrick Dupre 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hello, I planed to install fedora on an external SSD. Because the internal disk of the laptop is currently not visible by fedora live, I planed to make the external SSD bootable. I guess that it can be done via grub2. Is there any thing special that I need to be warmed up?

External SSD not recognized
by Patrick Dupre 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hello, A Latitude 3410 BIOS does not recognize an external SSD (in USAB-A or USB-C). I see only one reason, it is not UEFI. How can I fix this?

Audio on F34 -- dead
by SternData 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Zoom, Amarok, and other apps that were happy with PulseAudio on F33 are soundless on F34. How do I either re-enable pulseaudio or get them to work with the new audio system? -- -- Steve

UniFi Public Key Authentication
by Kevin Becker 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one so I thought I'd see if anyone has any other suggestions. My home network is all Ubiquity UniFi gear. I have a USG-3P router, a few switches and one AP. There is a UniFi controller app that centrally handles the configuration of the devices, including managing SSH access. You enter a public key in the controller software and it distributes it to all the devices automatically. I rarely actually SSH into any of the devices so I don't know when this stopped working but at some point it did work. I have the public keys for my desktop and laptop, both running Fedora 33, in the controller but when I attempt to SSH I am prompted for the UniFi admin password rather than my private key password. I don't get any sort of cipher mismatch or any other error, it just prompts for the account password. Things I've tried: * Verified permissions on ~/.ssh * I can still SSH into many other hosts and they all accept my RSA key just fine * I removed and re-added the keys in the USG controller * The fingerprint of the keys, as displaying in the controller software, matches the fingerprint in seahorse (Passwords and Keys) * Verified public key auth works to the UniFi gear from several other devices I have, including a Macbook, iPhone, Raspberry Pi, and an Ubuntu VM * I built a fresh Fedora 33 virtual machine, added its public key, and it has the same issue * I verified the keys are actually being copied to the authorized_keys on several different UniFi boxes * Comparing keys to my MacBook, both are RSA and have a length of 3072 Essentially any Fedora box I've tried won't do public key auth to any of the UniFi gear but they all authenticate fine everywhere else, and every non-Fedora device I've tried can authenticate to the UniFi stuff. The UniFi gear doesn't even all run the same OS, the USG runs EdgeOS and has the keys in .ssh/authorized_keys but the switches have a busybox shell and use dropbear for ssh with the keys at /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys I can just use the password for SSH, it's very rare that I actually have any reason to do it at all, it's just the puzzle that is driving me crazy.

machine will not boot after moving root
by Michael Hennebry 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

I'm trying to move my root directory from sda5 to sda3. After running grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig, my machine will not boot. I performed the changes using a F33 live DVD which also fails to boot. After plugging in a USB-connected SD card with Centos 7 on it, the F33 live DVD decided to boot. It is what I am running now. The complaint is UUID 2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a not found. While running F33 live DVD I get blkid | grep 2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a /dev/loop1: LABEL="Anaconda" UUID="2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/live-rw: LABEL="Anaconda" UUID="2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/live-base: LABEL="Anaconda" UUID="2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" I backed up sda5 with rsync -auHAXUUx . I copied from the backup with the same flags. I edited the new etc/fstab to point at sda3, actually LABEL=local3slash .

NOKEY warning from yum update

25 Apr '21

On F33, yum update gives me ...

Also from google: rpmfusion-nonfree-appstream-data - Appstream metadata for the RPM Fusion nonfree repository The message seems to be aganst the repository rather than an individual package. Huh? Why would an update reach out to a previously unused repository? For that matter I'm not all that sure it did. I'm pretty sure I've used rpmfusion nonfreee before. Why would it be balking now? What do I do about it? This problem predates the root change mentioned in another thread (... won't boot after moving ...). I'd suspected, clearly incorrectly, that it had something to do with the fullness of my root partition. Until I have a solution, is there a way to tell yum to update everything that does not involve rpmfusion non-free? -- 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

Announcements for manual configuration intervention?
by Matti Pulkkinen 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hello! TL;DR is there a list where announcements are made regarding configuration changes requiring manual intervention? Today I noticed that the clock in my Fedora 33 workstation install was about five minutes fast. Some examination revealed that none of the sources chrony was using for NTP were working. There was, however, a new configuration file, /etc/chrony.conf.rpmnew, which changed the sources from specific IP addresses to a pool URL. It would have been nice if there was some kind of notification that the current chrony configuration is broken, and it can't be fixed automatically. Is there a list, or some other method, by which I could be notified of these sorts of things? Not for specific packages necessarily, but just in general, even if it is high-traffic? -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

dangling symlinks and upgrades (was "invisible application after upgrade").
by home user 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

(context) In the "invisible application after upgrade" thread, Ed did not know how I did my upgrade to f33. I responded that I mostly followed the Fedora upgrade instructions from here: "https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/", and listed the sequence of commands that I did. That included the steps symlinks -r /usr | grep dangling symlinks -r -d /usr from the "Clean-Up Old Symlinks" section. Andras responded that > This isn't necessarily a good idea, because those dangling symlinks > may belong to their respective packages. If so, removing them will > compromise the integrity of the package they belong to. If Andras is correct, then the upgrade instructions need to be changed. Based on past experience, when a bug is submitted against Fedora documentation, the Fedora documentation team will want suggestions on how the document should be worded. (question 1) What should the instructions say? Is there a better yet easy and safe way to find and clean out dangling symlinks? Maybe more detail should accompany "After you verify the list of broken symlinks"? (question 2) In a later post, Andras provided and example of a dangling symlink (in the "hunspell" package) that should not be deleted. When I was a C/C++ programmer (a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away), dangling pointers (and memory leaks) were naughty; they can cause serious problems. Isn't a dangling symlink a file system parallel to a dangling pointer in a C/C++ program? What good, valid purpose is there for a package to have a dangling symlink? Or maybe "hunspell" needs a little clean-up?
