As it stands, your comparing the string "date +%A" with the string "Sunday". Presumably what you want is to compare the output of the command "date +%S" with the string "Sunday". You need to use "backticks" for that: test `date +\%A` = Sunday You're not getting output because the test fails and so yum never gets executed. All of that happens in silence, hence no mail to root.

I have no idea why hibernate stopped working, but it seems to not like something the BIOS is doing. Dell systems recently got BIOS updates. My newest Dell system did a 2-step BIOS firmware update dance. The updates are dated May 22. " - Firmware updates to address security vulnerabilities including (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures - CVE) such as CVE-2022-0004, CVE-2022-0005, CVE-2022-21123, CVE-2022-21125, CVE-2022-21127, CVE-2022-21151, CVE-2022-21166, and CVE-2022-21181" These might have introduced something in the BIOS that kernels "don't like". I see a bunch of driver firmware updates around the same time. If these are problematic there may be reports for for other distros. Thank you, I did not update the BIOS for quite a while, so are you suggesting that I do so and see? I have not updated the BIOS for a few years actually, and I have forgotten how to do this for a non-Windows system. I think you do it from the BIOS, through a USB drive and that can be a .exe file. So, could my not having updated the BIOS, and the kernel having upgraded, have caused the issue? I have not had this issue before with multiple updates/upgrades (with lots of machines) because I do unfortunately forget to check the BIOS all the time. I just performed the BIOS update on my XPS 13.

mailman on Fedora
What's the deal with maintaining mailing lists on Fedora these days? For years I've used mailman (first mailman2, now mailman3) on Fedora to administer mailing lists. In mailman3, you also need postorius to provide a web interface to users and hyperkitty to provide mail archive support. On Fedora 35, mailman2 isn't available anymore, so that's when I switched to mailman3. The original Fedora 35 did not have postorius, but that became available later. Hyperkitty on the other hand is not available on fedora 35. I use an rpm that I built myself. On Fedora 36, mailman3 can be installed, but both postorius and hyperkitty (there it is in the repository) cannot. They both depend on a too old version of django. On Fedora 37 (I know, not released yet, so any complaints should go to the testing list) none of the packages can be installed since they all depend on python 3.10 and F37 will come with 3.11. The packages are actually the unmodified F36 packages. Do people use mailman3 on Fedora? If so, how? Should I invest time in getting it to work in a python virtual environment? And how would that work with SELinux?

Well, up to you, but it would be nice to contibute to the packages and get them working again. This very mailing list (users@lists.fedoraproject.org) is managed with mailman3, but does the system on which it runs run Fedora? Nope, it's running on a RHEL7 vm. ;( We would very much like to move it to a newer version however, and if the Fedora version became available/working again we could look at that. kevin I bit the bullet and took the challenge. I have created RPMs for mailman3, hyperkitty, and postorius and got them to work on Fedora 36. (Fedora 37 is a bridge too far at the moment because it uses Python 3.11. This information is of course irrelevant for this list at this time ;-) ). To get it to work, I had to update a lot of other RPMs as well. This is the complete list: hyperkitty-1.3.5.9-1.fc36.noarch.rpm hyperkitty-doc-1.3.5.9-1.fc36.noarch.rpm mailman3-3.3.5-0.1.fc36.noarch.rpm postorius-1.3.6.9-1.fc36.noarch.rpm python-django-haystack-docs-3.2.1-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python-rjsmin-docs-1.2.0-0.fc36.x86_64.rpm python3-django-compressor-4.1-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-django-haystack-3.2.1-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-django-mailman3-1.3.7.9-1.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-flufl-bounce-4.0-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-flufl-i18n-3.2-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-flufl-lock-5.1-0.1.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-mailman-hyperkitty-1.2.1-0.1.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-mailmanclient-3.3.3-2.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-mailmanclient-3.3.3-4.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-mistune-2.0.4-0.fc36.noarch.rpm python3-rcssmin-1.1.0-0.fc36.x86_64.rpm python3-rjsmin-1.2.0-0.fc36.x86_64.rpm All of these are based on the Fedora 36 source RPMs, but with updated sources and the occasional change in the patches used. The hyperkitty and postorius versions are not based on official releases but just the latest sources. I think perhaps the most problematic change is the update to the python3-mistune package. F36 comes with 0.8.4 but mailman requires 2.0, and that's an incompatible rewrite if I understand correctly.

kernel bug? listening on same port with IPv4 and IPv6
I have a program that is supposed to listen to the same port on both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets. In the past, what it did, was basically: create new socket for IPv6, set option IPV6_V6ONLY to off, bind, listen; then create a new socket for IPv4, and also bind and listen. The first bind is either to a specific port, or to port 0 to let the system assign a port. The second bind uses the port that the first one used (i.e. what the system assigned). With the latest kernel, this still works if listening to localhost ([::1]/127.0.0.1) only, but not when listening to [::]/0.0.0.0. In that case, the second bind gets a different port number assigned to it. Moreover, the second bind system call returns 1, which it is not supposed to do according to the manual. Bind is supposed to return 0 on success and -1 on error. What is going on? Is this a kernel bug, or is this the future? Kernel is 6.0.16-300.fc37.x86_64, i.e. the latest Fedora 37 kernel. -- Sjoerd Mullender ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Are you sure that this is behaviour you can depend on? Is it documented? It seems that there is a possibility that the 2nd bind with port 0 can race against other processes. Why should you get the same port bound? If I was writing this code I would take the port allocated on the 1st bind and use it explicitly in the 2nd bind. Would that work and be deterministic? That's exactly what I do. I recall working on code that needed two ports N and N+1. The algorithm looped until the N and N+1 condition was met.

Do you have sample code that demonstrates this process?
I'm confused by your description, because setting IPV6_V6ONLY to 0 with
setsockopt should result in a socket that's bound to a port that accepts
both IPv4 and IPv6 connections. You shouldn't have ever been able to
bind to that port in IPv4 in the past.
See the attached program. Can be compiled without any extra options.
This program creates an IPv6 listening socket and tells it to also do
IPv4. Then it executes "netstat -anp | grep " to show what it did.
After that it tries to create an IPv4 listening socket for the port that
was assigned in the first round and if successful again executes
netstat. If not successful, it will tell why.
When trying to bind to the wildcard address (specify "all" on the
command line), the behavior is very different from when specifying
"localhost".
Run as
$ ./a.out all 0
$ ./a.out localhost 0
and see the difference in behavior. When using "all", the second round
(IPv4) says that bind returns 1 unexpectedly, and the port is also
unexpected. When using "localhost", both IPv6 and IPv4 succeed and
listen to the same port, but using two different sockets internally.
The behavior for the "all" case is different with the older kernel
6.0.15-300.fc37.x86_64 where bind will say "Address already in use".

Re: Which keys did I hit?
On 12/04/2024 10.11, Sam Varshavchik wrote: My fingers had a mind of their own and apparently hit some combination of keys that had a very weird result. I'm using an XFCE desktop. And, apparently, it became, maybe, fourty or so virtual pixels wider. Of course, the monitor still has the same number of pixels, so what was happening is that moving the mouse pointer to one of the edges scrolled the entire desktop slightly to reveal the extra virtual space on that side. Moving the mouse pointer to the other edge scrolled the virtual window on the desktop in the other direction, to the other side of the now-larger virtual desktop. It was a pretty cool effect, so after I had my fun I logged out and back in, and things were back to normal. But I'm wondering what keys did I hit, I looked through settings and didn't find anything relevant… Perhaps Alt-scrollwheel? That zooms the display in or out. -- Sjoerd Mullender -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
Re: F40: strange network issue after upgrade of laptop from F39

That is that I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email). I should mention that the network on this upgraded laptop works fine when I take the laptop home and connect. So what could be the problem? I have not had such an issue with installations and upgrades for 40.5 versions of Fedora (the 0.5 is for RH9 that I think I used mid-2003 to late 2003 before Fedora Core 1). How do I troubleshoot this? I´d suggest you talk to the university network admins. Probably the new way in which Fedora is handling MAC addresses. I believe it is now supposed to be random, but stable per SSID, but I do not remember any details. So it may be that you're using a different MAC address than before, and the university doesn't recognize it. -- Sjoerd Mullender -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
