SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher
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.

Does this have anything to do with Fedora? Advertising is not
acceptable on this list.

Something I use almost daily and.. nothing happens now. Is there a

Thank you.

Apache and umask for document root
by Alex
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

F36: removing systemd-resolved breaks chrony
by Sam Varshavchik
It seems that uninstalling systemd-resolved and repointing /etc/resolv.conf
ends up breaking chrony:
type=AVC msg=audit(1653741361.179:318): avc: denied { getattr } for
pid=856 comm="chronyd" path="/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf"
dev="tmpfs" ino=1525 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file
permissive=0
This is spamming me every minute, now.

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston
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?

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters
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.

resurrecting old laptops
by jim.cromie＠gmail.com
so Ive got some old i686 computers,
electronics recycle day approaches, but before I do that,
I thought Id try to get them working
1st one (toshiba satellite core2 laptop) threw a hard-drive,
clunking noises, then finally falls back to pxe-boot.
I put fedora-30-live on a usb (last one with i686 support)
but booting it, I get a 2-line error:
This kernel requires x86-64, but only detected i686
unable to boot - ...
I know f30 supports i686 - I have 1 old desktop still running it.
next is hp pavilion g7
pressing power gives brief spin-up of fans, nothing else.
f2, f10, esc during boot dont help,
screen brightness or vga monitor dont help either
I pulled hard drive and memory to force BIOS / POST
to do something different, NO CHANGE.
Any suggestions?
but at least I have a new/old hard-drive for the toshiba.
I also have a dell pentium2-233,
running knoppix with a 2.6.19 kernel,
its reluctant to do anything (aptitude is trying forever)
I think its too old to have a bios that can usb boot
I have used fedora-live-usb to rescue machines
in the past, but Im running out of options.
I would welcome other distro suggestions for tired old hardware
thanks

font tools (was "font longevity questions.").
by home user
(Fedora 35)
In the original post of the "font longevity questions/", I said:
> By the way, why do so many fonts show up twice
> in the font selection tools?
First, the only fonts I recall installing myself are the "Nimbus Roman
No9 L" fonts.
The tools are (in gnome) "Fonts" and "MATE Font Viewer". There might be
others not showing up when I click gnome's "Activities".
I did two screen captures to show what I'm referring to. They're on the
google drive here:
1.
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BkB55RW4jqym7_8xRdkExPtPD_XxR1Np/view?us...".
2.
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b7Pe_ASGEkfJj8XnIZAVaoznPHj1UOsp/view?us...".
Notice in the first, each of the "Nimbus" fonts shows up twice. When I
clicked on them, I saw no difference. In the second screen capture,
some "Open Sans" fonts show up twice. When I clicked on them, I saw no
difference. Is this how it should be, or is there a bug in the font
tools, or are some fonts actually on my work station twice?
A second issue is that fonts that are different show up in the font
tools with the same name. In this screen capture (on the google drive):
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qMfya_ObKot3jNbzYjTI7y17Kb0S83lz/view?us...",
notice 4 fonts called "Noto Sans". They are different from each other.
Notice 4 fonts called "Noto Sans, Bold". They are different from each
other. There are other examples. This is only my opinion, but they
should have different names. Is the problem in the font tools or in the
fonts themselves? If the problem is in the fonts themselves, then there
should be a standard requiring unique naming of fonts.
