Problems upgrading f35->f36 : At this point I can't get there from here
by Jonathan Ryshpan 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

I have just upgraded from Fedora-35 to Fedora-36 using dnf system- upgrade. The upgrade appeared to go without problems, but the system has been extremely slow since the upgrade -- programs take a long time to start or respond, delays in typing, etc. There seems to be a great deal of CPU and disk activity for no apparent reason ===> Does anyone have a suggestion of how to investigate? For lack of a better idea, I decided to reinstall my system: I built installation media using Fedora Media Writer and started a re- installation process. However the Fedora installer for KDE thinks my system is BIOS based, while in fact it is UEFI based; so it wants me to create a biosboot partition at sector 0 of the drive. ===> Does anyone have a suggestion of how to investigate? System Info is: Operating System: Fedora Linux 36 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.13-300.fc36.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 The BIOS is: American Megatrends Version 2.16.1240, Copyright 2015 -- Thanks for your help - Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh(a)pacbell.net> I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals.

can't reach internet.
by home user 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

(sent from Thunderbird running in windows-7) From Fedora-35, I cannot reach the internet at all. - Firefox and Thunderbird each take several minutes trying before notifying me of time-out. - If, as root, I do "dnf info firefox", it takes several minutes trying before giving me curl errors. So here too, apparently no internet access. - In the corner of the display (gnome), there's usually a little fork-like symbol next to the little symbol that I click to log off or shutdown. That symbol is not showing. - Firefox is able to communicate with the modem. I did not see anything in the modem's display in Firefox that looked like a problem. - An rkhunter scan shows no problems, but I realize that doesn't check everything. - Last night, I was in a 3-way zoom meeting on this work station (using Fedora-35 and Firefox) for almost 2 hours as a participant (not host). Immediately after that meeting ended, I shut down for the night. I noticed in the past that after a zoom meeting, some things do seem to be messed up in Fedora; I don't recall any details. I've been simply rebooting to solve that. Zoom does seem somehow "dirty". - This is a dual-boot workstation. When booted up in windows-7 (like now), I am able to connect to some sites in Firefox, but not all. Some that I can connect to are unusually slow. Thunderbird also works, but is unusually slow. The modem is an Arris T25 SURFboard, DOCSIS 3.1 for xfinity internet and voice. I originally thought the problem was the modem, but since it seems to be working when I boot into windows-7, I now think the problem is more likely to be in Fedora. I have no formal training or experience in sys.admin. H-E-E-E-L-P ! ! !

auto unlock encrypted disks using clevis/tang works for ext4 but not btrfs?
by Barry Scott 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

I have setup a tang server to offer up the unlock key for by fedora systems that uses encrypted disks. This works great with my file server that uses LVM and ext4. But my desktop system that uses the btrfs does not unlock the disk automatically. I see the logs on the tang server that show that there are transactions to ask for the key but it does not work. I'm jumping to the difference being btrfs, but admit that I'm far from having evidence to show that is the problem. I used the exact same setup steps for both systems so I'm reasonably confident that the config is good. Anyone else see this issue? Barry

SSH, PuTTy and no authentication methods available
by Jeffrey Ross 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

I keep running into an issue with PuTTy users logging into the system (Fedora 35), I found that if I edit: /usr/share/crypto-policies/DEFAULT/opensshserver.txt and add ^ssh-rsa at the beginning of the PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms list will allow users to login again, however anytime there is an update to the crypto stuff on the system my change gets wiped out. So my questions are 1) which file should I be updating so my changes aren't removed all the time 2) is adding ^ssh-rsa the best change or is there a better or more proper one? (I can't get rid of putty, but would like to take the least evil fix) Thanks, Jeff

updatedb.conf?
by Tom Horsley 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

The plocate rpm appears to include an /etc/updatedb.conf file (shows up in rpm -q --list plocate). But my system doesn't have an /etc/updatedb.conf file, and judging from the backups, it has never had one on fedora36. Anyone on fedora 36 that does have an /etc/updatedb.conf file?

"hardlink" errors during weekly "dnf upgrade".
by home user 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Before proceeding, please note that I have no sys.admin. training or experience. I'm a home user trying to maintain my home f35 workstation. When doing my weekly patches (dnf upgrade), I get swamped with "hardlink" error messages. There are a huge number of them, and they fly past far too fast to see what dnf was doing when the messages started. I found the messages in two log files. I put them on the google drive. The file names with links to them on the google drive are as follows: dnf.rpm.log.1 "https://drive.google.com/file/d/17VBjtSM_6YNSRcsvjmYRvuSRbnGkbMzp/view?usp=…" dnf.rpm.log.3 "https://drive.google.com/file/d/14GJdhNN0Kcr2_m3sXa7FMU-vHWY1WBpz/view?usp=…" The 10 terminal display log lines after the last "hardlink" message are: ---------- Upgrading : xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-libs-3:470.129.06-2.fc35.i686 88/159 Upgrading : xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-libs-3:470.129.06-2.fc35.x86_64 89/159 Running scriptlet: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-3:470.129.06-2.fc35.x86_64 90/159 Upgrading : xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-3:470.129.06-2.fc35.x86_64 90/159 Running scriptlet: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-3:470.129.06-2.fc35.x86_64 90/159 Cleanup : urw-base35-fonts-20200910-9.fc35.noarch 91/159 Erasing : kernel-5.17.6-200.fc35.x86_64 92/159 Running scriptlet: kernel-5.17.6-200.fc35.x86_64 92/159 Cleanup : system-config-printer-1.5.15-5.fc35.x86_64 93/159 Erasing : kernel-modules-5.17.6-200.fc35.x86_64 94/159 ---------- The log files generated by today's "dnf upgrade" are these: ---------- -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1024681 Jun 2 12:46 dnf.librepo.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 779081 Jun 2 13:08 dnf.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6254 Jun 2 13:07 dnf.rpm.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 14186202 Jun 2 12:43 dnf.rpm.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 88 Jun 2 12:42 dnf.rpm.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 12846472 Jun 2 12:42 dnf.rpm.log.3 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 19131 Jun 2 12:38 dnf.rpm.log.4 ---------- If you need/want to see any of those, let me know and I'll put it on the google drive.

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.
