Can I install gcc-8 from rawhide on F27?

2018-03-30 Thread Neal Becker
There's a bug in gcc-7.3.1 that causes a crash on some code I need.  Is it 
safe to install gcc-8 from rawhide on F27?

easiest way to encrypt existing home dir?

2018-03-30 Thread Neal Becker
I'm running f27 with everything on one drive.  /home is 1 btrfs subvolume 
and / is another btrfs subvolume.

I want to move my /home to encryption.  One possibility seems to be to use 
ecryptfs.  I tried creating a test user, and the following:
https://cloud-ninja.org/2014/04/05/fedora-encrypting-your-home-directory/
(following "easy way" instructions).

This didn't do anything AFAICT, the test user's files still appear to be 
unencrypted, and I don't see any ecryptfs mount.

Any suggestions?  Is ecryptfs the way to go here or something else?

Thanks,
Neal

Playing around some more, I did get ecryptfs-migrate-home to work for my 
test user.  I see that the home dir is accessible by other users (e.g. root) 
if the test user is logged in, but not when he is logged out.  Not the 
strongest security, but maybe adequate for some uses.

Perhaps the messages are not related to the suspend issue.  But the symptoms 
are very strange.  The laptop appears to suspend (power light changes from 
on to flashing), but at a random time later (seconds to minutes later), it 
wakes itself up again!  Only thing I could think of is WOL, but it's not 
connected to wired enet.

fix icon

2018-06-01 Thread Neal Becker
I wanted to test emacs-26.1 from rawhide, so installed the rpms on f28.  
Decided it broke too many things, so reverted with dnf distro-sync.
Now I'm back to emacs-25.3, but the icon used by emacs is the wrong one 
(it's a terminal (probably from emacs-terminal), not a gnu).

How do I fix this?

I have no need for tracker, so I uninstalled it.
So far, no lock (but maybe haven't waited long enough yet)

If I'm not mistaken that's the same printer I just bought.  Haven't needed 
specific linux support.  I scan to email from the printer.  Print to google 
cloud from chrome.  So far that's good enough for my needs.

printer stopped working, and how to fix it

2018-09-14 Thread Neal Becker
For some unknown reason, an HP laserjet I had been using for some years 
suddenly stopped working with F28.  After some investigation, I found the 
problem was:

Sep 14 14:32:20 nbecker2 cupsd[871]: [Job 1202] PID 14791 (gs) stopped with 
status 1!

After more searching on the web, I found the answer was
lpadmin -p m750 -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops

apparently tells cups to use cairo instead of gs and this fixed my issue.

I recently posted here about what sounds like the same issue.  I used 
lpadmin to switch from gs to cairo backend, IIRC, which sounds like a 
longterm win anyway to me.

fedora cloud AWS randomly shutdown

2018-09-25 Thread Neal Becker
I'm using f28 cloud on AWS as a compute farm.  It seems that instances 
randomly shutdown within hours of starting.  An example log:

...
Fedora 28 (Cloud Edition)
Kernel 4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64 on an x86_64 (ttyS0)

 Stopping Restore /run/initramfs on shutdown...
[  OK  ] Removed slice system-sshd\x2dkeygen.slice.
 Stopping User Manager for UID 1000...
...

In this case after about 4 hours it seems to have spontaneously shutdown.  
This happens with high probability - maybe 2/10 instances I start 
spontaneously shutdown.

Any ideas what's going on?  I'm just wondering if this is something specific 
to fedora cloud edition, because it doesn't seem to be a common complaint on 
AWS (most of which is ubuntu).

Shutdowns occur with very high probability within few hours.  Like, maybe 
20% of my machines shutdown within a few hours.  I suspect machines with 
high load average shutdown.  But that's not behavior I'd expect from fedora 
workstation!  I'm wondering if there's something about the fedora cloud 
setup causing this?

I didn't search, because I don't know an easy way to do it.  Back when
syslog was text it was easy.
Let's try:
journalctl -g 'Failed to start jobs:'

OK, that still tells me nothing.  I need to see the lines before this, and

is xfce.
When I leave this unattended for some time, I come back to find that
pulseaudio is sucking 64GB of VM.  Needless to say, I don't really need PA
running on it, but I haven't seen how to disable it.  Also this seems like
a bug, PA has no business using 64GB of VM.

I've just been killing it when I notice, but I'd rather fix the problem.

Any thoughts?

My nvidia F40 update journey

2024-05-02 Thread Neal Becker
Not as bad perhaps as some of your experiences, because I'm using nvidia
GPU for M/L on a remote server and not for desktop display.

After update the nvidia driver is not loaded.  Tried rebooting a couple of
times since sometimes akmod seems to need this.

Manually loading the driver
modprobe nvidia
I get an error message that there is no driver in /lib/modules,...

Finally I manually run
depmod -a

Then reboot again.
Now nvidia driver is loaded and nvidia-smi reports success.

My question is:
Why did I need to manually run depmod -a?

flatpak is supported for Fedora and is getting regular updates.  What other
options are there?  I saw the suggestion to try and use a suse repo.  That
sounds like a recipe for trouble to me.  Fedora packages are tested
together to ensure dependencies are compatible.  Between suse and fedora I
think you're liable to run into dependency troubles.

Yes, I've consistently seen that Discover had no notification and then
running sudo dnf update did lots of updates.

trouble with kernel 6.9.9 + chrome

2024-07-22 Thread Neal Becker
After installing this morning's large set of updates I rebooted into
6.9.9.  Now chrome doesn't work, every process is crashing.  After
rebooting, restarting chrome the problem persists.  Finally I rebooted into
6.9.8 and chrome is fine.

I can't find the thread on fedora discourse being referred to, but in my
case it works when I boot to 6.9.8 kernel instead of 6.9.9.

But I don't think it worked, because I don't see these options in ps.  Also
the original said:
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --incognito

And I don't think it was using incognito mode.

How do I know if it actually used this desktop file and is there something
else I need to do?

Install chrome, AFAIK it has flash builtin.  On youtube, use html5 anyway.

xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.904-2.fc13.i686 has nothing to do with google 
chrome, that's an X11 driver.

OTOH, I have the same problem as you.  flash isn't working for me either.

Working now.

I installed flashplayer 10.1rc6.  Moved libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/flash-
plugin.  Symlinked to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.  Ran (as root)  mozilla-
plugin-config -i -v.
visit 
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
seems to be working under google chrome 6.0.408.1
BTW, my system is x86-64.

 I did a clean install of f13 and video works fine for me. You
 might want to try creating a brand new user and see if it
 can play video, may be something incompatible leftover
 in ~/.mozilla.
 
 There was also a mysterious problem I had when I made /home
 be a symlink. Some firefox stuff wouldn't work. I changed it
 to use a bind mount instead and all was well.

To make it work under chrome, I symlinked all the files in 
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped to /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins 
after running mozilla-plugin-config.

Using gdb + python in f13

2010-06-17 Thread Neal Becker
I'm excited about using gdb with python in f13.  Where can I learn more?
I normally use gdb via emacs.  In emacs, I can M-x gdb, then at the prompt,
choose:

Run gdb (like this): gdb --annotate=3 -P my_program.py

Starts my program OK it seems.  But I see no way to set a breakpoint or
get to gdb's prompt at this point.

Thanks, but my question is, is there something I can configure in abrt so it 
will find the debuginfos?  I'm guessing it didn't find all the required ones 
because some were from updates-testing.  Or, maybe this guess is wrong.

no flash in chromium-browser (from /spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F12/)

2010-03-31 Thread Neal Becker
flash works in google-chrome. This is F12-x86_64.  Using
32-bit flash wrapped for 64 bit.

In chromium-browser 5.0.365.0 flash is detected, but does not work.  In 
about:plugins flash is there (1st item).  But visiting a flash site says 
'missing plugin'.  I duplicated the working google-chrome setup (copied 
/opt/google/chrome/plugins to /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins, which is 
all just symlinks to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped, and which all works 
in google-chrome and in firefox).

cifs mount returns random garbage

2010-04-28 Thread Neal Becker
I'm trying to do cifs mount to some kind of networked storage we have here 
at my job.  I don't know what kind of box it is, but it doesn't play nice 
with samba, apparently.

Sometimes (maybe the 1st time?) I mount, it seems normal.  I can do ls and 
it looks fine.

Other times, I mount and ls returns random results.  Repeating ls gives 
different random characters and messages.

Any ideas?

/etc/sysconfig/yum-cron 
to

# Don't install, just check (valid: yes|no)
CHECK_ONLY=no

# Check to see if you can reach the repos before updating (valid: yes|no)
CHECK_FIRST=no

# Don't install, just check and download (valid: yes|no)
# Implies CHECK_ONLY=yes (gotta check first to see what to download)
DOWNLOAD_ONLY=no

)

It's not a problem with yum.  I can update from command line fine.

Anyone have a working f15 auto yum update setup?

cups setup for headless

Is there a guide to setting up printer configuration via cmdline?  Or, let's

I have one machine on my lan with printers already configured.  Is there an 
easy 
way to transfer that configuration, or a subset of it, to other machines on the

convert virtualbox .ova to kvm/qemu qcow2

2011-07-22 Thread Neal Becker
I exported an xp appliance from vb to .ova.  Then I did

qemu-img convert xp.ova  -O qcow2 xp-disk1.img

no complaints.

But trying to boot it in qemu/kvm, I get 'not a bootable disk'.

Any ideas?

Re: quicktime video work for you?

2010-07-22 Thread Neal Becker
Thanks much for the help!  That was the clue I needed to get firefox going.  
I needed gecko-mediaplayer.

I still haven't figured out google-chrome-unstable though.

google-chrome-unstable-6.0.472.0-53024.x86_64

It seems to find plugins that are in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.  But even 
though it contains: 

  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 90896 May 18 12:15 gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so

  -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 49248 Jul 29  2009 xineplugin.so

All the gecko-mediaplayer stuff seems to be ignored.

Whoever changed google-chrome-unstable to look there instead of 
/opt/google/chrome/plugins, I wish they'd change it back.  I use 
nspluginwrapper and would rather be able to have control over what exactly 
chrome sees for plugins.

I've got chrome looking in the correct place by setting 
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped.

This works with firefox, but chrome is looking there, but doesn't seem to 
like the gecko-mediaplayer-xxx.so files.  It seems to just ignore them.  
They don't show up in about:plugins.  OTOH, others do.  For example 
nswrapper_32_64.libflashplayer.so works fine.  Here's what I have:

I know chrome looks at these files, because strace says so.  No error 
messages are displayed in the console.  

This is google-chrome-unstable-6.0.472.0-53024.x86_64

(I figured out MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH by searching the chrome binary)

Say small corporate.  I was hoping to be able to use uid/gid mapping, which 
seems to be part of nfs4?

There is nothing plugged in to eth0.

My uplink is eth1.

The bridge is only for use by virtual machines on this same box.

Should I have configured it differently?

But according to mount, norelatime was ignored.  2 questions:

1) What do I need to do to get norelatime?
2) I see /home mounted, but there is no entry in /etc/fstab.  Who mounted

howto boot from usb iso?

I tried copying f15 tc1 iso to my 16G usb using dd, but laptop doesn't try to 
boot from it.  I did change boot order at power up.

I wrote iso to /dev/sdc (not to a partition).  Does that matter?

One thing I don't understand, is this USB key shows up as 2 devices.

/dev/sr1 (101M) iso9660
/dev/sdc (16G) unallocated space

What's with the /dev/sr1?  That's probably what's confusing liveusb-creator

This is some read-only filesystem.  Notice it's a different _device_, not a 
different partition.

I've been victim to this:
---
Unfortunately, many newer USB keys come with "U3" Windows software (badware?) 
preinstalled. Removing U3 is highly recommended, and will free up additional 
space on your USB key, as well as eliminate a source of potential conflicts.

Find a Windows machine, and try these programs to uninstall U3. Unfortunately, 
they are a bit flaky. If one does not work, try the other:

http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/u3/launchpadremoval.exe

http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ 
---

Too bad I don't have a windows machine.

Starting with nothing but unallocated space on /dev/sdc, here's what liveusb-
creator says:

Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso selected
Resetting Master Boot Record of /dev/sdc

This was done with gui.  I typed 'liveusb-creator' from command line, enter 
root 
pw, then select my ISO image from my hard drive, then press 'create usb' (IIRC).

Tried with unallocated space.  Then tried after creating a single partition 
with 
VFAT (formatted).  This gives a different error:
Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso selected
Verifying filesystem...
Verifying ISO MD5 checksum
ISO MD5 checksum passed
Extracting live image to USB device...
Unable to find LiveOS on ISO
LiveUSB creation failed!
Unable to find LiveOS on ISO

I guess only an iso designed for live will work?  Actually, I was _trying_ to 
use the usb for install, not for live.

I'm not really interested in a science project.  How is liveusb-creator 
supposed 
to work?  How should I prepare the usb stick prior to running the liveusb-

giving up on google-chrome

2011-05-04 Thread Neal Becker
I've been happily using google-chrome on F14 for some time, from
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

I've used this together with 
flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386

using nspluginwrapper.

I used to use google-chrome-unstable, but then one day, it started misbehaving. 
 
When quit, chrome would not restart.  Or, it would, but no pages would load.  I 
found that when quit, several processes were left running.

The only way to restart was to killall chrome (2 times!), then rm -rf 
~/.config/google-chrome.  Fortunately, chrome sync would reinstall all my 
plugins and pretty much restore everything.

Now the problem is, that the current google-chrome-stable is doing the same 
thing.

I have reason to believe it is actually using flash that is causing this 
problem.

Anyway, no more chrome for me (these experiments get a bit old after a while).  
Unless, someone knows a workaround? (besides, no flash)

I've avoided 64bit flash because it does not appear to be well-maintained or 
supported (still alpha I think, and no updates for long time)

There is no builtin flash on linux.  What does about:plugins say?

Good news!  With a little help from gdb, I may have fixed my chrome problem.  
Nothing to do with flash.  I removed all the gecko* and xine plugins (which I 
never used/wanted anyway).

I just installed freetype-freeworld on F15.  I believe fonts on google-chrome

freetype was supposed to be the same as freetype-freeworld?  Apparantly, not?

No, all you need to do is click on the 'fedora start icon' on the bottom left 
of 
the panel, in the 'search' type the name of the app, move down to the icon for 
your app, right click, and you'll see 'add to panel'.

If you don't like where your new icon shows up (I like them on the left, but 
they always get stuck on the right), right click somewhere on the panel and

I want to install updates automatically on an unattended server.  If I set

remove localhost from /etc/hosts??

2010-01-21 Thread Neal Becker
Installing gridengine seems to fail with:
Starting qmaster installation!
Hostname: nbecker6
Aliases:  localhost.localdomain localhost 
Host Address(es): 127.0.0.1 


The current hostname is resolved as follows:

Hostname: nbecker6
Aliases:  localhost.localdomain localhost 
Host Address(es): 127.0.0.1 

It is not supported for a Grid Engine installation that the local hostname
contains the hostname "localhost" and/or the IP address "127.0.x.x" of the
loopback interface.
The "localhost" hostname should be reserved for the loopback interface
("127.0.0.1") and the real hostname should be assigned to one of the
physical or logical network interfaces of this machine.

Installation failed.

/etc/hosts says:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1   nbecker6localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

What's the deal here?  I thought that removing localhost would, as the 
comment in /etc/hosts says, cause lots of problems with various 
applications.

Actually, I misread that.  It wants to remove the actual hostname 'nbecker6' 
and leave only
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost

You don't need to re-run dracut.  All you need to do is add this the the 
kernel command line:
 rdblacklist=nouveau

This is much simpler than other solutions.

rdblacklist approach has the advantage that I can switch back to test 
nouveau easily (would be even easier if rpmfusion would make it so you could 
reliably disable loading nvidia module).

kde-plasma-nm disabled

2014-01-07 Thread Neal Becker
Network is working fine, with a wired enet.  I probably disabled nm a long time 
ago.  Now I want to enable it (so I can try bridge).

I have kde-plasma-nm-0.9.3.2-1.fc20.x86_64, but
on my desktop, the net icon has a red X.  If I try to edit connections/add 
connection, I don't see any wired interface names under 'restrict connection'.  
This suggests something's wrong - it's not learning the names of the interfaces.

In /var/log/messages I see:

Jan  7 10:27:34 nbecker7 dbus[624]: [system] Rejected send message, 3 matched 
rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.4740" (uid=1000 pid=8349 
comm="/usr/bin/kde-nm-connection-editor ") 
interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="Get" error name="(unset)" 
requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (uid=0 pid=602 
comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ")

Any idea how to proceed?  On my laptop with working NM, if I go to the edit 
connections I see a list of several interfaces

But why does NM not show any interfaces, if I try to add?  That tells me 
something isn't working.

ifcfg-em1 does NOT have NM_CONTROLLED line
