Switching to Wayland on F27
Hi all, I've updated my OS a few times now and it would appear that I am still on Xorg of Fedora 27 workstation; From: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f27/system-administrators-guide/Wayland.html 0 digimer@pulsar:~$ loginctl SESSIONUID USER SEAT TTY c2 42 gdm seat0/dev/tty1 3 1000 digimer seat0/dev/tty2 2 sessions listed. 0 digimer@pulsar:~$ loginctl show-session 3 -p Type Type=x11 That link doesn't say how to switch to Wayland, though. When I click on the gear icon at the login screen, I only have "Gnome" and "Gnome Classic" as options. Any hint on how to enable Wayland?

Problem PXE booting Fedora 28
Hi all, I tried following this; https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f28/install-guide/advanced/Network_based_Installations/ I've got to the point where I can PXE boot fine, the kernel and initrd.img are downloaded by the client, but then the install fails and drops to the dracut shell. In the shell, I see that the network interface isn't seen (ip addr list only shows 'lo'). While debugging this, I found that plugging in a USB drive is seen (journalctl -f -n 0 -> plug in thumb drive (ext2 format) -> drive seen) but no /dev/sdX device path is created. I mention the USB issue because a) it might be related and b) I'm sorry I can't post logs, but I literally can't get data off the PXE client. These are KVM/qemu VMs (client and server), and I've tried emulating virtio and e1000 NICs, and the initrd.img is from the normal Fedora 28 Server install DVD. I'm stuck here, unsure how to proceed or debug further. If anyone can help directly or indirectly by recommending resources, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks! digimer PS - VM host is also Fedora 28, in case it matters. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Ya, from the full DVD. I also tried the netinstall one from Fedora Workstation (to switch server -> workstation, full DVD -> netinstall) and got the same results. Here's the PXE menu (with kernel options) I am using; label linux menu label ^Install Fedora 28 64-bit menu default kernel fedora28/vmlinuz append initrd=fedora28/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/os/ ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 rd.shell rd.debug log_buf_len=1M I verified that the vmlinux and initrd.img are the ones being downloaded by temporarily renaming them and the boot failed.

That worked!! Thank you so much! I bashed my head on this since Thursday... I'm building a project for general use, so I need to make sure this PXE system will boot both BIOS and UEFI targets.

Thank you! Thanks also for the ssh hint, being able to ssh in makes debugging so much easier! Also, I confirmed that I must use the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the netinstall (either server or ws).

'Permission denied' running %pre script in kickstart (f28)
Hi all, I have a kickstart script for installing Fedora 28 that has a somewhat large %pre script.

As promised, here I am now with UEFI issues. :)
I've finished getting BIOS boots/installs working fine. Now I want to
add UEFI support, and I'm hitting a road block right out of the gate.
First, do you have docs/links/reference material you might recommend on
building a Fedora-based UEFI PXE server? I'd love to try and get further
on my own and keep questions to a minimum.
Right now, I've got a KVM/qemu guest configured with UEFI. I've setup
the following;
[root@f28-striker01 fedora28]# cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
### Global options
option domain-name "alteeve.com";
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
# refer to RFC4758 for possible arch option values
option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16;
subnet 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
range 10.1.14.1 10.1.14.254;
option routers 10.1.4.1;
if option arch = 00:07 {
filename "uefi/shim.efi";
} else {
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
next-server 10.1.4.1;
}
[root@f28-striker01 fedora28]# cat /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/uefi
function load_video {
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_cirrus
insmod all_video
}
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
menuentry 'Install Fedora 28' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class
gnu --class os {
linuxefi fedora28/vmlinuz ip=dhcp
inst.repo=http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/iso/
initrdefi fedora28/initrd.img
}
menuentry 'Install Striker' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class
gnu --class os {
linuxefi fedora28/vmlinuz ip=dhcp
inst.repo=http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/iso/
root=live:http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/os/images/install.img
inst.ks=http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/kickstart/striker.ks inst.sshd
rd.debug
initrdefi fedora28/initrd.img
}
When I PXE boot the UEFI guest, it gets the IP from the PXE server,
downloads uefi/shim.efi, then hangs on 'Fetching Netboot image'. It
never shows a menu.
(on EFI guest, transcribed manually)
>>Start PXE over IPv4
Station IP address is 10.1.14.186
Server IP address is 10.1.4.1
NBP filename is uefi/shim.efi
NBP filesize is 1210776 Bytes
Downloading NBP file...
NBP file downloaded successfully.
Fetching Netboot Image
And there it hangs. I'm not sure how to debug to see more detail on what
it is trying to do. This UEFI PXE booting is totally new for me, so I
may be missing something terribly obvious.
Thanks!

The trick is to set aside frustration caused by losing familiarity. With that in mind, I'm quickly coming to like Gnome 3. It has wrinkles, but it is also a 3.0 release. I think it has a lot of promise, and I think people will come to like it as they get used to it. :) Thanks for the links! -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com Freenode handle: digimer Papers and Projects: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org "I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries." -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

It was not. The initial impression most of us got was that the problem
you were having was with the basic network card setup. You did not
indicate that you were configuring a DHCP server. :)

Sleep hangs on Fedora 14 x86_64 for last few days
Hi all, Each night I run 'yum update'. Three days ago (give or take a day), I noticed that putting my laptop (Thinkpad T400s) to sleep no longer worked. It would fade the screen out, jump the the Fedora splash screen (like you see during boot, blue background with the Fedora logo centered) and then just sit there. The only recourse I have is to cold-boot the laptop. I checked /var/log/messages and this is what I see: http://pastebin.com/ZPVeCpZy Any thoughts or diagnostics tips?

That said, the predecessor to Fedora was Red Hat Linux. Version 7.3 was excellent for it's day, and I believe it would run on a 486. Red Hat split into what we know as Fedora and RHEL after Red Hat v9. Though v8 and 9 marked their switch to Gnome (from Enlightenment) and, iirc, had much heavier footprints. -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

In fact, part of the reason for Fedora's creation was to be a "bleeding edge" test bed for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux. Only things that prove reliable, stable and secure make it into RHEL. So the reason not to use Fedora for a server is that it is not as reliable or stable. Not to say it's bad, mind you. It's used as a workstation OS for many, many people. However, a random crash, hang or other problem is usually a mere nuisance. On a server, the same can't be said. -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

No firewall is less safe. No computer is totally safe when on the Internet. The firewall prevents attackers from trying to exploit known-security faults in listening daemons by blocking their access to anything not explicitly opened up. This means that the firewall is a barrier, an extra layer of security. Without a firewall, assuming your programs are all updated, you are *probably* safe, but you've given up a layer of protection and are now relying on all listening programs to be secure, so you have a much wider number of methods that an attacker might be able to break in. If you browse the web from behind a router, then it will have it's own firewall, somewhat negating the need for a firewall on your computer. It's not an easy question to answer. You have to decide how safe you need to be, and how much hassle you are willing to deal with to get that safety. -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

All of the distributions are good, and it really just comes down to what benefits you want and what annoyances you can live with. Debian unstable is still a server-oriented OS, so you will be missing a lot of modern toys. Fedora is to RHEL/CentOS as Ubuntu is to Debian; Desktop-focused vs Server-focused, respectively. Some key differences between Ubuntu and Fedora; Fedora is more security-focused where Ubuntu is more usability focused. Your first user in Fedora will not have sudo setup. You will need to setup sudo yourself or use su as needed. Likewise, Fedora will ask you for the *root* user's password every time elevated credentials are needed. This is safer, but can feel more intrusive. If you're a developer, Fedora uses RPM which I find much easier to work with than .deb packages. This is really personal preference though. Fedora 15 *just* went gold, and will use Gnome 3. Whether this is a plus to you are not will largely depend on your computer. Beyond these, I can't think of a whole lot of differences. I actually brought over Ubuntu's default theme to my Fedora box, so I guess I'd have to say that I like the look of Ubuntu more. :P They're all good distros.

Good Fedora-compatible multi-monitor video card recommendation

I know Matrox sort of specializes in multi-monitor setups, but I can't say I've heard them recommended much. I'm currently running four big monitors on an ATI Radeon HD, so if you can fit three of those cards into a box, that 's 12 monitors right off the bat, and you could probably add some DP splitters to get more. I've tried a matrox card. In theory, it can drive up to 12 monitors with four triple-head-to-go adapters, but it had some driver issues that kept me from using it (mostly dealing with vlc and youtube) and they didn't officially (or actually, when I reported bugs) support the version of Fedora I was running anyway. But, if they happen to support the version of the kernel you're running, and you don't need 3D or video, they're a good choice, although multiple HD cards would probably be cheaper. You're the 3rd person to recommend looking at ATI, so I will do that.

Something that I can take *one* program compiled for parallelization that will distribute the processing among machines, as compared to running multiple invocations of a program on different machine, each chewing on a different dataset. For instance, a render farm where I run 15 instances of Maya or Blender on 15 machines, each rendering a different set of frames to be later combined for an animation isn't a "real cluster" to me. Running one instance of Maya or Blender to use the memory and processing of all 15 machines would be a "real cluster" for me -- assuming a parallel version of Maya or Blender that could do that, of course. billo I think OpenMosix tried to do this but went defunct quite some time ago.

My experience says there isn't. Granted I am not an expert in parallel computing, but I work for a supercomputing site. About 15 years ago, high performance computing hit the wall with regard to how fast a single processor can be. We had CRAY computers that used vector processing; that means executing the same instructions on a range of memory words at the same time in one instruction cycle. This means that code like for i = 1,100 do a[i]=a[i]*2 done would execute at the same speed as "x=x*2" (in this admittedly trivial example, you get a factor of 100 speedup). That was a lot easier to program for than multiprocessing, but even that required careful attention when writing code so that it would vectorize and get the performance boost. After single processor computing hit the wall, we and every other HPC site had to go to parallel processing (modern supercomputers have tens of thousands of processors running on thousands of separate nodes). This too requires special coding, so that your program will naturally break up into separate tasks that can be executed in parallel. That is true whether you are talking about using multiple processors on a single machine, or spreading a code over multiple systems. There are MPI libraries to make this task easier, but it is never as simple as "OK, now execute this unmodified code five times as fast using five machines instead of one". How difficult it is to parallelize the code depends, as has already been said here, on the particular application to be parallelized. --Greg This confirms my understanding, thanks. :) -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

"Cloud" is a pretty specific tech that doesn't really tie into clustering, per-se. It's more of a tech for rapidly provisioning/deleting/modifying servers (setting aside other 'cloud' techs like remote storage). Clustering is either about making virtual machines more available (HA clustering) or making a given task faster (maximizing resources of many hardware nodes). Neither of which really overlap much with 'cloud', though in the virtualization space, some technology is shared. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Fedora is awesome, but it's a desktop OS, not a server OS. The life cycle is way to short and it's not hardened like a server-focused distro. RHEL/CentOS would make a much better OS, and if you needed something newer than it offers, check the EPEL repo. The question is how do we know that this hardware (motherboard, CPU) really support Fedora version 18 or 19? We are looking at mobo from Asus or Intel or Gigabyte, but did not find firm answer. We did not find the info from mobo websites either. Most consumer mainboard manufacturers don't list Linux support. Another reason to use server-grade hardware is that it is usually validated against RHEL 6 (and thus CentOS 6 will work). You can get good server-grade hardware for not too much more money. The mobo that got our interest are the ones with H77 or Z77 or H87 chipsets. Any particular reason? You might want to look at Intel, if you really want this.

What would be the difference between an EOL well serviced and managed Fedora 19 and newly installed CentOS6.5 as far as internet safety and security goes? As soon as Fedora goes EOL, no more updates are released (1 month after the second version passed has been released, so F18 went EOL 1 month after F20 was released). CentOS gets it's updates from upstream (Red Hat), which is supported for at least ten years after initial release. So CentOS 6 servers will get updates until 2020, at least. I'm guessing that EAL Fedora apps like apache or nginx, php, perl, python, Ruby, c, mariadb, OpenSSL, firewall and the other security apps as well as Inkscape, Blender, LibreOffice Firefox, Thunderbird and others would keep on updating as they do in CentOS until the updates did not fit with installed kernel requirements which could conceivably be quite some time down the track. Pardon my terminology, I'm out of depth here. Once EOL, nothing gets updated on the OS, period.

Helping improve support for Thinkpad P70
Hi all, After much struggling with Fedora 23 and CentOS 7 on a new Thinkpad P70, I failed to get things working well. With all stock install/updates, using "hybrid" graphics (intel + nvidia m600m), I would get a black bar along the bottom of the screen that wouldn't display, but was there (I could type, but not see what I typed, in full screen terminals for example). If I switched to pure nvidia (discrete mode), I would get 1024x768 on the nouveau drivers. I tried the RPMfusion nvidia drivers and it would work for a short time only. First time that I suspended the laptop, I'd lose the screen for good, even after a power cycle (text mode during boot would show, but nothing when gnome started), but I could SSH into it so the system was OK. So on and so forth with Fedora, CentOS, EPEL kernel-ml, etc. I decided to try ubuntu, just to see if it was linux itself, but it appears to work out of the box. So I am pretty sure that Linux in general is OK (at least workable). It's a 4k screen on the laptop, for what it matters. My question then is this; How/what can I do, as a user, to help improve support for this machine under Fedora (and RHEL/CentOS)? I'm a sysadmin who works with EL, so I'd really like to make this machine work in fedora where I am most comfortable. :) Thanks! -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Here is what I wrote down for changing ethernet devices to any arbitrary
name you want, including ethX, under Fedora 17 (15+, actually).
https://alteeve.ca/w/Changing_Ethernet_Device_Names_in_EL7_and_Fedora_15%2B
You don't need to mess with biosdevname, juts set/edit
70-persistent-net.rules (details described in the above link).

Ah, I see. On my systems, I get:
===
em1: flags=4099 mtu 1500
ether f0:de:f1:fc:65:b3 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

So the script says "grab any non-space character up to the colon (foo:).
Your now showing a colon, so it fails to match.
Try replacing:

With:

Strike that, I see that you are also showing the HWADDR on the same
line, so the whole regex this is going to miss your output.
Skip the script; The main thing is to take the 'em1 ... HWadd:
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff' and put it in 70-persistent-net.rules as (one line);
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="eth0"
Then in you 'ifcfg-eth0' file, set 'DEVICE="eth0"' and make sure there
is no HWADDR="..." line. Reboot and you should be golden.

Re: How can I prevent udevd from renaming eth0 to em1
A while back, I ran into a problem trying to rename interface names (details of which I no longer remember). The solution at the time was to create an empty '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules', then to make it immutable (chattr -i /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules), then finally to create '/etc/udev/rules.d/69-persistent-net.rules' with the rules/names I wanted. Maybe this will help you? -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Yes, you need a corresponding 'ifcfg-' file to match the udev.d's
NAME="" value. Do not use the ifcfg-'s 'HWADDR="..."' though.

Not really. Boot off of a current live cd, plug in a USB drive, mount it. Mount your existing partitions and copy the files over to the USB drive. At least then your data is safe. *Then* worry about recovering your operating system.

Frequent Gnome lock-ups since fresh F18 install
Hi all, I had F17 and updated it last week to F18. It was perfectly stable and I had no problems with Gnome. I did a fresh install of F18 (fresh drive) on Sunday and since then Gnome 3 has locked up hard on me six times (three times just today). Each time, I can ctrl+alt+f2 into a terminal and I've tried restarting various things without successfully recovering. If I run 'init 3' -> 'init 5', Gnome restarts and the system is usable again. It seems to happen randomly, though it generally happens when I am flipping between windows with alt+tab or alt+tilde. That said, it just crashed on me when I tried to unlock the screen after being gone for about an hour. This time, I checked syslog and these were the last messages before the lock up; === Feb 12 21:38:50 lemass systemd[1]: Starting Getty on tty2...

I suspect that a testing package got into updates before the rest of the dependencies did.

That will leave you with the smallest install possible to suit your needs. There is something wrong with these requirements. I don't need avahi, for example, and it's impossible to remove without taking down the whole system. Like Sam said in the other reply; A dependency is not "broken" if the package actually needs it. If you think a given package is not needed, gather the reasons for who you think so and file a bug report. To do a minimal install, when the main anaconda (install) window appears, click where it says "Gnome Desktop" and scroll down to find "minimal". Note that a minimal install is very minimal. Expect to take some time to find the packages you want/need. A minimal install doesn't have a gui, and I don't need a gnome desktop. But if I did that, could I have installed what I have now without, for example, avahi installed? You said you wanted a "clean" install. It's up to you to decide what all you want, GUI or otherwise. I answered your vague question by giving you an option for the most minimal platform to start with. After that, it's an exercise for you to decide what else is needed. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Very easy: Step 1: figure out what packages and services you need. Step 2: install just those packages and services that you need. Unfortunately, the broken dependencies seem to prevent step 2 --- otherwise I could simply remove unneeded packages. I believe this kind of situation is why the Gentoo, and later, Arch distributions were created. There you seriously micro manage your distribution and install only what you want and in exactly the way you want. That's how it should be. It's nice to have the option to just install things from packages and have them working right away, but when that leads to too many things installed and running that aren't needed without a choice, the question comes up what you rather spend your time with: installing just what you need or trying to figure out how to get rid of what you don't need. Different distros serve different needs. It's impossible for one distro to suit all use-cases. If you really really need to minimize the packages on you computer, then maybe Fedora isn't the right choice. And that's ok, that is exactly why Arch linux and it's contemporaries are there for. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Fedora 20 / Gnome 3 crashing when ssh session hangs/fails
Hi all, Twice today I've had my system lock up hard when my ssh session failed. In both cases, the mouse pointer moved still, but I couldn't corner bump or even do ctrl + alt + f2/f3/f4 to get a terminal window. My setup is a fresh install (not an upgrade) of stock Fedora 20 x86_64, Lenovo Thinkpad W530 on an SSD with luks-encrypted root (no LVM, ext4) and selinux disabled. The /var/log/messages from the minutes before the second crash don't seem to show much: Dec 18 21:01:01 lemass systemd: Starting Session 5 of user root.

slow pick-up of DHCP IP address during PXE boot
Hi all,
I've got a pair of KVM/qemu guests on a Fedora28 host. One of the VMs
is a Fedora 28 server, and the other VM is a new VM I want to setup over
PXE boot from the other F28 VM.
When I boot the new VM, it sends the request for an IP and I can see
the request come in immediately on the server VM. The new VM seems to
ignore this IP for some time and re-requests an IP. After several
seconds, the new VM takes the IP and the boot proceeds.
On the new VM, I've tried emulating both an 'e1000' and 'virtio' NIC.
Any tips would be much appreciated. The dev I'm working on requires
very frequent PXE boots, so saving ~10 seconds per boot would be a big help.
Below are relevant details.

Here are the logs from the server VM:

Note the first offer is given at 02:45:07, but the DHCPACK comes at
02:45:18, 11 seconds later. In previous setups, this boot was within a
second or two.

The new VM's block;
The dhcpd server config (though I doubt the issue is server-side given
the client doesn't send the DHCPACK, unless the server ignored the
initial ACK?);
