rc.local

Hi, I noticed some time ago that rc.local became a service. I'm just getting around to address this issue but am having trouble getting my fedora 41 system to "notice" my efforts. Can someone post what they're doing to implement this new way of doing things, please? Best regards, George... -

Strange dnf behavior or UFU (user foul up)?

How to test a computer's HDMI port on FC33

Hi, My HDMI to TV (Samsung) stopped working 2 days ago and I'm trying to find out how to test the port. This is a Fedora 33 (Rawhide) (x86_64) system. The cable is good... swapped with a known working cable. Directional 15' Saphire cables... have arrows and are pointing the right direction (awa

Re: Problems connecting to VM via ssh (Ed Greshko)

Ed, I have re-installed this system and selected the "KDE Plasma Workspaces" but without any optional packages since there is at least one pkg that fails and TERMINATES the installation. I wrote a bug report on that. The installation should at least allow the user to go back and de-select the f

Re: Problems connecting to VM via ssh (Ed Greshko)

Ed, Thanks for responding to my question. Yes. The host AND guest are both fc32 x86_64 (rawhide). I forgot to put the rawhide in. Apparently tstusr is a "dup" of root. I guess it was late when I did this. Anyway. I can login as root and tstusr at the console. I can su to root from tstusr and su

Removing old kernels attempts to remove more than kernels...

Hi, I am attempting to remove old kernels from my system but "dnf erase " wants to remove much more than just that kernel package. I wrote a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com but have gotten nowhere. This is the bug URL: 1761024 – removing old kernels wants to remove more than kernel packages 1761024

Hi, Just my 2 cents. first: I'm sure you remember that even if you find a huge file and remove it, the space it occupies will not be available IF the file is still open. I had a /var file system full some time ago and it was /var/log/messages that was HUGE. Removing it didn't help until I re

Can mke2fs -c -c be restarted

Hi, I have a 2TB HDD with a possibly major problem. I have cleared the data from it and have tried to run "mke2fs -t ext4 -j /dev/sdc1" but after 24 hours it had just finished the 0xaa phase and started reading when the drive seemingly dropped ready and was re-assigned as a new device to /dev/s

FC31 (rawhide) networking problems.

Hi, I frequently run "dnf upgrade" and a few days ago did that. My system booted just fine but the networking did NOT come up as it has. It's like the system now wants to be ipv6. Manual ipv4 configuration works just fine. I'm testing in a virtual machine with VirtualBox that has also been work
