Nothing seems wrong here.  You are using Fixed IP.
And ONBOOT is enabled

The only thing I am find a bit odd is your DNS1.
This is okay if you are running your own DNS (bind).
If not, try changing it to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS).

Also what is your /etc/resolv.conf ?

Mine looks like:

   # Generated by NetworkManager
   search netgear.com
   nameserver 192.168.250.1

The above is my el-cheap-o router.


Also try adding to your ifcfg-eno1
   USERCTL=yes

and see if that helps.

You can up and down eno1 from the command line with
ifdown eno1
ifup eno1

USERCTL has to be enabled for a user to do the above,
otherwise, you are stuck doing it as root

How do I check a process' memory usage?

[Todd Chester]

Hi All,

FC27, x64

I have a 32 bit program running on a server that may be
running out of memory.

From the command line, how do I check this?

Many thanks,

I'm the maintainer of the G4L disk imaging project since 2004, and I use
Fedora as the build platform. Currently using Fedora 27.

Have an issue from a user that has me baffled, so am hoping someone here
might provide some guidance.

The program boots a linux kernel, and basically uses dd to copy the
disk/partitions thru a compression program and creates an image file on ftp
server or local device.

I don't have any physical nvme disks, but using virtualbox I created a 4M
disk, and 2 - 2M partitions within it. In testing that, the 4M disk compresses 
to
a 30K file, and the 2M partitions compress to about 15K each. That is what is
expected with cleared partitions.

The user though, with a real 256G disk doesn't seem to get any compression
of the disk or partitions. Them resulting images are close to the same size as
the disks or partitions??

He can mount the partitions and see the files, so there must be something
going on that I don't see?

Would think that accessing the /dev/nvme0n1 or partitions /dev/nvme0n1p1
thru p5 would act the same as accessing /dev/sda or /dev/sdax partitions.

The images that are created pass the compression program test, so it is
reading data, but in some form that doesn't compress much, and user has
used a program to clear the unused space?

Thanks for your time, and any ideals.


Hi Michael,

This probably won't help as I don't entirely understand your
question.

My FC27 system has a LUKS encrypted 1 GB NVMe drive.  I clone
the drive to a mechanical drive as a poor man's RAID1.  NVMe
drives don't do RAID1.

My first attempt, was booting off a Live USB and do a "dd".
It was a disaster.  Took 14 hours and did not work in the
end.

Then I switched Clone Zilla to do the clone and it has worked
perfectly about 5 times now.  The mechanical clone drive boots
perfectly too.

Clone Zilla only takes 1:24 to clone.  It uses dd to clone LUKS
drives, so who knows why Clone Zilla's works and mine does not.

Thanks for the reply. There are lots of issues with doing cloning.
Usually, doing a disk clone gets arround issues where the boot loader is
using the blkid, since it makes the blikids for the partitions the same. Problem
with that thou is that you can't have to disks in the same machine with the
same blkids. Once cloned a disk, and then rebooted it to the OS without
disconnecting, and for some reason, it mounted some partitions from the first
disk, and others from the second?

Same issue with the boot loaders using the /dev/sdx option. If you clone a
disk on /dev/sda to /dev/sdb it works fine, but if you remove sda to test if it
will boot, it will not since second disk with have sdb instead of the sda. Have
to switch cables, or change boot order in bios.

Contacted the person in charge of the nvme program, and he says it should
work as it does with the virtualbox test I did.


Chuckle.  I have the same problem.  My two backup drives and my clone
drive fit into a removable SATA drive sleeve.  If I forget to remove
the clone drive after I do the clone, Fedora will boot off the clone
drive and mix things up as you describe.  I researched as to why
this happens and it is all do to both drives having the same UUID
numbers on their partitions.

I am not in my office at the moment, but when I do get back, I can
send you a bash script I wrote to warm me when this happens.  Let
me know if you would like it.

I frequently forget to swap out the clone drive and reinsert one
of the backup drives.  The first clue is that it takes about
eight times longer to boot.



User was using a windows program called eraser to clear the drive, but from
what I have just found it seems to be a security eraser, and rights random
data to the unused space as contrasted to writing nulls. Think the program
was probable working just fine, but with completely random data the lzop
compression doesn't work well. About twice the speed of gzip but 10% larger
images. I could take a 1T disk, and compress it down to a 40G file with
Windows 10 and Fedora 25 on it.


If you what to completely blank a disk out, don't mess around with that
operating system whose name I shall not mention.  (I hear it is slow,
buggy, and expensive.)  Stay in Linux.

   # dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx

/dev/zero is the fastest, but you also have /dev/one which is slower
and /dev/random which is really slow.



My classroom setup also, had and NFTS clone image file on a separate
partitions, and had an grub boot option, that would reimage the 160G
Windows 10 partition in about 12 minutes.  About a 20G image file.

Have a program on the g4l disk that will zero out the unused space, so have
asked the user to try using that to clean disk, and then make image.

Hopefully, that will result in the expected compression.


Take a look at Clone Zilla, it does all that for you:
http://clonezilla.org/

The author is extremely responsive to questions too.

I use Clone Zilla with its rescue mode (advanced setting) on
NTFS drives with bad sectors on them ALL THE TIME.

What ?? Yes, I have to work on THAT operating system whose name I
shall not mentions too.  My customer base is mainly small
businesses and they can not get apps to run on anything other
than THAT operating system.  It is what it is.

Tip: stay the hell away from Intel SSD drives.  I use to sell them.
They are garbage.  I took around a $2000 loss so far having to replace
them as they go bad in my customer's machines.

I switched to Samsung SSD's and they are rock solid.  Not a
single failure yet.  They are about 20% more expensive than
Intel's drives, but when your have to replace them for free
and just before they brick and lose your customer's data,
they become extremely expensive.

Samsung's NVMe drives are awesome.  (My wife named them NeVada
Medical Examiner drives to remember the abbreviation.)

Tip: try to size your SSD drives such that they have at least 50%
or more free space on them.  This improves your wear life.  And
the wear leveling algorithm on the drive will adore you.




Thanks again for the info.


You are most welcome.

Don't forget to look at Xerox. One is the WorkCentre 6027. It's LED,

Okidata sells LED printers, but they are expensive.  On the

Hi All,

After upgrading to FC 28 from FC 27, my customer's
vsftpd server stopped allowing ftp logins
from anywhere.

# systemctl status vsftpd

shows it running and happy (I tried stopping and
restarting several times)

There is no complaining in

# journalctl -f

when I attempt to make a connection.

I just get told something is wrong with the
username or password.

SELinux alerts are quiet.

It came from Cobian Backup and Cobian's errors are typically
meaningless.  Sorry.


Go to /etc/vsftpd and remove all references to tcp_wrappers.


mine is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

And that fixed it.  Thank you!  I owe you one!


Good.

Where do I go to collect?   :-) :-)


This would be a good place

:-)

I am a jack of all trades.  it astounds me some of
the stuff I know.



FWIW, I don't use tcp_wrappers.


I was just using the defaults


Also, tcp_wrappers support was removed in January   From the changelog

* Fri Jan 05 2018 Ondřej Lysoněk  - 3.0.3-16
- Disable tcp_wrappers support
- Resolves: rhbz#1518796
- Fix default value of strict_ssl_read_eof in man page


That explains it.

Also, given that centos is behind in terms of php/python/etc..  are

Hi Bruce,

Oh good golly!  CentOS (RHEL) is a MISERABLE bug riddled OS.
I used  it for years and almost went INSANE.  Simply put, RHEL is
an Anti-Kaisen (Kaisen = Constant Improvement) OS.  They
take a snapshot of a defunct versions of Fedora and freeze it
in place.  The last straw was when RHEL ate my business
contacts in Osmo every time I shut down.  Mind you Osmo
has this issue fixed but could do nothing for me as
RHEL is wildly out of date.  That and it would not
run on modern motherboards.

Keep in mind the following rule.  Every OS is "stable"
*** if *** it runs the programs you want to use properly.
And you can freeze ANY OS by turning off the updates
(like RHEL does), even buggy M$ Windows (Shut Up 10).

So where to turn?  I have converted all of my computer
and all of my computers to Fedora (all on 28 now).
I adore Fedora.  They actually fix things and keep
after bugs and problems.  In my experience, because
of such, Fedora is about 50 times (not exaggerating)
more stable that freeze-all-the-bugs-in-place RHEL.

Don't use RHEL or clones (CentOS), if you want things
to be kept after.

Oh and you will notice that your USB 2 is 4 to 5 times faster
and USB pass through actually works on qemu-kvm under Fedora
that RHEL.  And you can actually use it on a modern motherboard!

So, pick which OS has the support you are after.

After converting to Fedora, I had a case of the out-right-laughter
over being so tickled over all the hundreds of bugs that were fixed.
VLC even worked right!

And the irony did not miss me that kvm is a Red Hat project
and they can't run their fixes and upgrades on RHEL either.
qemu-kvm is sweet under Fedora, but a bug riddled mess under RHEL.

Wine Staging worked sweet under Fedora too.

Re: centos7 -- webapp setup

[Todd Chester]

Rick,

I have used Cent OS and Scientific Linux for more years
than I can remember.   I do know how it works.  Too
well.  If you don't pay for it, they don't fix it.  This is
the way their open source model works.  Same with Code
Weavers and Wine.  (I don't use Wine.  I use Wine Staging,
which comes with Fedora. Tons bugs fixed.)

Yes, Osmo was the problem.  I made that very clear. Osmo
jumped on the problem and fixed it.  But could do nothing for me
as RHEL and Clones uses out dated, bug riddled version
of software that Osmo need to run properly.

Yes Fedora has its issues.  In my experience 1/50'th of RHEL.
And the turn around time for Fedora to fix bugs is a few
months.  RHEL's turn around time is 7 years (no fooling!)
to NEVER.  I have posted a good 50 bugs over the years.
They don't care.

Fedora, unlike RHEL and friends, works on their bugs and
fixs them.   RHEL usually can not, even if they want to,
which they usually do not.

KVM is sweet running on Fedora, but a miserable bug riddled dog
on RHEL and friends, as even Red Hat is too out of date to
run their current versions.

My experience is that Fedora has 1/50 the issues that RHEL does.
If yo do not keep after your bugs, RHEL is what happens to you.
I almost went INSANE !!!

Now how to use RHEL and Clones.

1) find a piece of old software that will never
   need an update.  New software won run on it.

2) find a software vendor that SPECIFICALLY develops
   for RHEL

3) buy an old motherboard, as new ones are not supported.
   Don't expect new motherboard performance.

4) set and forget.  (You can do this with any OS by
   turning off the updates.)

Basically, you use RHEL as an appliance.  Once it
is cooked, do expect to season it.

If you want Kaisen (constant improvement), Fedora
is your man.  If you want a set and forget appliance,
consider RHEL.

Fedora is a shining example of Kaisen.  RHEL is
a miserable example of what happens when you don't
keep after your stuff.

Both have their uses.

By the way, my new motherboard, Supermicro X11SAE-M won't
boot REHL and clones properly.  And it only cost me over
2000.00 U$D in free warranty work to figure it out.  RHEL
couldn't give a poop about the bug report.  Ya, they told
me they did not have access to the hardware.  I told them
the phone number to call at Supermicro to get all the free
hardware they needed (Supermicro supports vendors like Red Hat)
and they still wouldn't fix it.  (Is okay, Fedora run beautifully
on the server.)  Funny, but not so much, RHEL and clones works
fine off a Live USB on the X11SAE-M, which mean a timing issue.
(Yes I documented it out the nose.)  If you were to say I
was "angry" over the whole issue, "angry" does not even begin to
describe it.

Yup.  I know how the system works.

And all I have to say about RHEL and clones is, been there,
done that, never want to do it again.  I TOOK IT IN THE SHORTS.

-T

You should have seen the way Fedora fix the bugs in saned
for me.  Sane is now a thing of beauty.  Only took a
couple of months.  Too bad if you want to use a scanner
in RHEL.

Allegedly, on or about 27 June 2018, Rick Stevens sent:

Almost no-one running a commercial venture runs Fedora because of
potential stability issues AND the fact that updates are only
available for Fedora for "current release less one" (updates stopped
for F26 one month after F28 came out). RHEL and CentOS generally have
a 3-year or more lifespan. No, they're not current, but they ARE
supported. Fedora 26 isn't, for example. F27 will be supported until
one month after F29 comes out.


I can attest to that.  If you run anything that has a database, even
websites and email services, keeping all that going across an OS
upgrade is a real pain.  With Fedora having such a short lifespan, that
amount of pain means you end up leaving servers running with ancient
un-updated software.



So can I.  Usually under RHEL and friends there is some new feature on
a piece of software you can't live without and it doesn't run under 
RHEL.  I have had far more problems with that that Fedora's upgrade 
schedule.


Don't forget you can turn off updates and live with what you have.

Just some tips on that.

1) Buy a Samsung NVMe SSD drive.  I have gone through hell trying

   Especially stay away from Intel.  I took it in the shorts

2) size you drive such that it will have 1/2 of its capacity open.  This
   is because there is a computer on the drive you don't know about
   that is constantly moving data around so that no one spot gets
   over used.  It is called "wear leveling".  And it work well only
   if your drive is 1/2 or more empty.

3) make sure you have proper air circulation across it.  They get hot
   and heat is your enemy.

I have a Samsung 960 NVMe drive in my office computer.  Only holy
molly it is fast!  Fedora 28 takes 7 seconds to boot up after I
enter the password prompt.  The 960 has been replaced with the 970.

Try running "iostat 5" while it's copying to see how much I/O is happening.

Re: (OT) Beeping drives used for backup

I have persistent problems with small USB hard drives that I use for 
backup. The backup utility is the rsnapshot, which is set up to back up 
my system incrementally every day starting about 3:00am. The backup 
fails occasionally; when this happens the drive's file system is usually 
corrupted, which can be repaired using fsck. So far, there has been no 
perceptible loss of data.


The drive also produces an occasional beeping sound: pitch about 340 cps 
(my best guess using a tuner), lasting about 250 msec. The beeps happen 
when the drive is in use, particularly when it's busy, and never when 
the drive is starting up. The problem has happened on at least 4 
different drives:

WD My Passport 1 Tb
Seagate Backup Plus 2 Tb
Seagate Ultra Slim 2 Tb
Seagate Ultra Slim 2 Tb (replacement for above)
It starts about 6 months to a year after the drive goes into use and 
persists thereafter. When the problem gets bad, I replace the drive.


The latest drive is a replacement given to me by Seagate; they said that 
the drive had failed and had to be replaced, which they did, since it 
was still under warranty. It's not exactly new by refurbished. It 
started to beep after being used for about 4 days.


Does anyone have an idea what's going on or how to prevent it?

Many Thanks - Jon


Hi Jonathan,

I have noticed that my customers who go out and buy external
USB mechanical drive drives for backup never have any
"last".  They always go bad.  Some so bad that they hang
the USB port and the computer won't boot or is really
slow.  SMART sheds tears.  The drives and just *TOO* cheap.

What I have been lately, is building my own with drives
with Rosewill backup cases (RX304-APU3-35B).  I populate
them with Western Digital drives.  Had one Blue drive
go bad.  I have since switched to Red and Black drives
and haven't had an issue.

The Rosewell cases come with USB 3.0 and eSATA including
an internal eSata bracket and eSata and USB cables.
And a temperature controlled cooling fan, which add a
YUGE amount to reliability.  They are a class act.
El-chepo-o external drive just cook in place, probably
why they go bad so fast.

Oh and be careful of WD's tech support.  It STINKS.
But their drives are the most available at my suppliers and
their reliability is better than Seagate, based on cloud
studies I have seen.

HTH,

and noticed that posts are arriving, but no one is

It is working just fine.  Everything in the archives has arrived in my email.

FWIW, I don't have an answer to the Q you asked on that list.


Hi Ed,

Thanks for looking at my Q,eve if you did not have an answer.

I am not getting anything from the list.  I notice from the
archives that tons of posts have been made, but no one answered
any of the new ones.

I wonder is zoho.com got blacklisted, again.  Several mailing lists
do not work with it after its domain was used in a denial of

You know if they ever fixed the issue with the upgrade corrupting
grub?

I've not used Wine in a long time.  I guess you can't install a Windows Printer 
under it.

If you can't get your issue sorted, another idea would be to export the file 
you want to
print into a format available in LibreOffice and open and convert to PDF using 
its native
function or using the Cups PDF printer.

Doing some "Googling" has shown people exporting Lotus Approach files to .xls.



What I do is print to Cups-PDF, it comes out Portrait.  Then I go into
Approach's page set up and change it back to Landscape and print again.
The setting does not hold in Approach.  Changing printers picks up the 
defaults from CUPS.  It is annoying.

So, I think you're saying, if you remember to set landscape in Approach all is 
OK printing
to Cups-PDF?  And that setting is permanent in Approach?

So, just something annoying more than broken?



The paper is all set up perfectly to print to my OkiData B4350 printer.
If I want to make a PDF, I have to change the printer to
Portrait after it prints.  I can only correct it after it prints.
And if you save the new settings, Approach reverts back to the old
settings.

More annoying than broken, because I have to do it twice and I can't
turn the task over to a regular user.

I suppose I could always edit the form so that everything crams on
a portrait page.  Maybe reduce the font.

I'm wondering if you're missing a step.  In most authoring software,
you have to set the page format to landscape or portrait.  This isn't a
printer setting, it's data about the actual document.  This will be the
default print layout used when you get around to printing it.

e.g. In various word processors, you have style formatting options per
character, per paragraph, and then the whole page.



Hi Tim,

In Approach, when you set up your report, you choose a "paper" size. 
Approach gets it from the default print driver for the page.  You

can set it to whatever the printer supports.

Cups-PDF is not the default printer, so when you print to it, you
have to set the page up again.  "Supposedly" when you save
the Approach file, it saves the new settings, but this is
the exception.  It saves everything else.

I see the same thing on F29 and thinking about it, it makes sense to me. 
  It's a scanning program, leave the printing details to the pdf viewer. 
  Generally, the scanner is part of a printer anyway, so if you want 
prints, then just use the copy function instead.


Thank you for the double check!

Re: Migrqate from Legacy to EUFI?

Even though I knew it would not work, I tried clonzilla'ing the two.


   Odd since you can restore one partition at a time in clonezilla.
So, if you partition new drive (LVM/whatever), you then feed the
partitions.  But I have only done that by first creating a clonezilla
server.


I did the whole thing. And I knew better, but  ...

I created a dual legacy / EUFI dual boot flash drive
with a full version of Fedora on it.  I found that
Fedora always thinks it has the original EUFI or original
legacy boot on the drive.  I suppose you could configure it out,
but the project is something to behold.


   What if you boot off a liveCD and then move the bits you want to
save, mentioned below? Also, your box cannot boot off the NVMe drive
and then mount old drive?


Oh it is easier than that.  I have full access to the original drive
and a wonderful "dump" backup of the original drive. It will not be
too hard to migrate the data over.  And it will dump all the sins
of the past.  And I already have Fedora 32 installed on the NVMe drive.


The scope of this server has changed dramatically, so reinstalling might
no be such a bad idea.  It would dump a lot of sins of the past.  I just
was to restore users, groups, /home, /export, samba, ftp and I am
good to go.


   I take you are then just rsyncing it?


I will just use cp and krusader

I was just hoping there was a utility out there that
would do it all for me.  But, I am thinking it would
be better to start over.

Then they'll replace the keyboard with a single button, because it's

the right key.  The screen will be replaced by a single light that's
either yellow or blue, which you're supposed to understand what that

It'll end up like that chair in Star Trek, where an inert Capt Pike

communicating, and somehow people know what that means.

And there is precedence with Capt Pike.  Everyone

You are very forgiving.  It belongs in Format-> page.

NOT Insert->page breaks->More Breaks->manual breaks->Page Style.


The reason it's there is because in order to change the page format 
you have to start a new page.  And it's not really there anyway.  The 
actual landscape setting is part of the style.  Format->Page modifies 
the page settings for the currently active style.  If you switch to 
the "Landscape" style, then Format->Page will show that you are in 
landscape.  I guess you have to understand that LO operates at a 
higher level than just basic typing.  You can do that, but you 
shouldn't, at least if you're writing something more than just a 
really basic memo. If you use styles properly, then you can make 
global layout and formatting changes easily.


True.  And since when do I need to be a rocket scientist to figure 
out. That is the issue.  It should be in page format,

period.  I should not have to learn" what is under the hood to
be able to use the thing.


It's very clear in the documentation.  A quick search for "landscape" 
gave me:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/pageorientation.html 




Oh and on what planet is the orientation of the page
a "paragraph" format?


Are you referring to LO or something else?  In LO, the page orientation 
is in the page format right where it should be.


Sam,

Do you have any idea how much arguing I had to do to get
LO to move that out of paragraph?

new hardware?

Just a refresher. If I add a new piece of presumably supported

Yes, just got a Thinkpad X1 Gen 9 with Fedora 33 pre-installed for Black 
Friday in the US. I installed F35 directly. Everything seems to work ok 
but I need to dig into the power management as it seems the 3 
'performance' modes didn't really worked as they should have, thus 
giving me rather subpar autonomy. Not sure why at this stage.


I also have 2 firmware updates which don't seem to install.

So you have a full report on this machine, but I didn't file any bug as 
I have been busy with other things.


Fred



I wonder if the sell OS-less laptops, so you
can install what you want?

qemu-kvm steels my flash drives

[Todd Chester via users]

Hi All,

Fedora 31
qemu-kvm-4.1.0-5.fc31.x86_64

If I have a virtual machine running and I insert a
flash drive into a USB socket, the virtual machine
steels the flash drive from the host, not that it
will actually work in the VM, which they don't.
To get them to work in my VM's I have to add them
as a piece of hardware to my configuration, then
they work.

I have to exit all my VM's to be able to see my flash
drives again from the hosts system (FC31).  This is
a pain in the neck.

Any way around this?

Has the USB controller been assigned as a PCI device to the VM?   If so 
it would be detached from the host machine.


It just says USB Controller.  I will look more closely

the HW in the guest.

yours vs mine.  Bet I did something dumb.

Controller USB 0
Controller: Type USB; Model USB2

I think this indicates that the USB controller is managed as a PCI 
device, but it has been a few years since I looked at this.


I found https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDev:

"For PCI devices, when |managed| is "yes" it is detached from the host 
before being passed on to the guest and reattached to the host after the 
guest exits. If |managed| is omitted or "no", the user is responsible to 
call |virNodeDeviceDetachFlags| (or |virsh nodedev-detach| before 
starting the guest or hot-plugging the device and 
|virNodeDeviceReAttach| (or |virsh nodedev-reattach|) after hot-unplug 
or stopping the guest."


Since managed is omitted, it seems the automatic detach/reattach should 
not be done.


https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html says:


"Controllers


Depending on the guest architecture, some device buses can appear more 
than once, with a group of virtual devices tied to a virtual controller. 
Normally, libvirt can automatically infer such controllers without 
requiring explicit XML markup, but sometimes it is necessary to provide 
an explicit controller element, notably when planning the PCI topology 
 for guests where device hotplug 
is expected."


Hi George,

Thank you!

Just point the DNS server to Open DNS?

DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220

Every time I have upgraded Fedora to a new release,
I have had to "enable" named-chroot.  If I ever
figure it out, I will definitely get back.

Maybe it is the universe testing my troubleshooting
skills.  The tip off is when ping by IP works.

They are suppose to.  Mine did not until I threw the

That's not possible, because QEMU doesn't emulate the CPU.  The host CPU 
must support all of the instructions that would be present in the CPU 
that you report to the guest VM.


The reason that the CPU is an option and not directly copied from the 
host CPU is that guests might migrate from one physical host to another, 
and they may not have precisely the same CPU (and therefore, not 
precisely the same set of instructions).  In order to make that more 
reliable, you can select a CPU whose features are present in all of the 
hosts that might run a guest, and that guest is expected to limit itself 
to the instruction set in the CPU you've selected.


So, the CPU option allows you to select a less capable CPU than the one 
in your host.  It does not allow you to select a newer, more capable CPU.


I was afraid of that.  Dang!  Thank you for excellent
the tutorial.

This looks interesting.  M$ put a key into the registry
to bypass the new requirements.

If you do that, it won't ask for any password.  Otherwise, it is trying

password.
