Resolving names
by Javier Perez 05 May '25

05 May '25

Help. Looking at the about systemd-resolved question prompted me to try to clear a problem I am having with local DNS. My home system have few pcs and other devices, some of them with static ip addresses set at my local router. My situation is that name resolution does not always work. For example, if I do pepebuho@pepewin:~$ dig bloody ; <<>> DiG 9.18.33 <<>> bloody ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 61697 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;bloody. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: bloody. 0 IN A 192.168.1.5 ;; Query time: 1 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP) ;; WHEN: Tue Apr 29 03:01:45 EST 2025 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 51 It works, but if I try to ping it, pepebuho@pepewin:~$ ping bloody ping: bloody: Name or service not known pepebuho@pepewin:~$ ping 192.168.1.5 PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.378 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.5: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.260 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.5 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1035ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.260/0.319/0.378/0.059 ms pepebuho@pepewin:~$ It falis! same thing happens with ssh. I just work around it by using the ip addresses directly, but I remember it used to work several versions away. How can I make it work again? I tried to solve it using grok as a helper but could not make it work. -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

Must remove a partially installed kernel
by Terry Hurlbut 03 May '25

03 May '25

Everyone: The worst problem I have so far discovered about Fedora 42 is that the DNF updater does not work as it once did. The "updates ready" icon no longer shows, and one attempt I made to update packages with it, ended with a kernel entry in the boot loader (GRUB?) that causes a panic when I try to load it. This is Kernal Build 6:14.4 for the x86_64 architecture. If I didn't retain two known good kernels with every upgrade, I would have "bricked" this computer. Happily, I have Build 6.14.3 available to use. But because it's not at the top of the list, I must consciously select it every time. What I want to do is to install 6.14.4 in a working version. I'm guessing that I need to remove the corrupt 6.14.4 installation I have, then run, say, "sudu dnf upgrade --refresh" again and have that routine install the kernel "fresh." But I'm afraid to try to work out the commands, because I might remove all kernels and then my system would really be "bricked." So: could someone tell me what commands to issue, in their proper order, to get Kernel build 6.14.3 working again? Two outputs follow below.

secondary clipboard only one letter?
by ToddAndMargo 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Hi All, Fedora 41 I notice that when I have one of more xfreerdp sessions and and AnyDesk session open, my secondary clipboard (<ctrl><c> - <cltr><v>) starts only copying one letter. It is very frustrating. By chance is there a setting to increase the buffer size of the secondary clipboard so it can handle more clients? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
