automount requests
by Greg Woods
My logwatch each day has dozens of messages like this:
pub.automount: Got automount request for /pub, triggered by 242640
(PT3122): 1 Time(s)
I want to determine why this is happening, because the drive
containing /pub (on a different machine mounted via NFS) is spun down when
idle, and these events are likely causing it to spin up. My understanding
is that the part inside the parentheses is the command name of the process
that triggered it, but I don't know what the "PT" syntax means.
Thanks for any info,

Newbie questions - Rust
by David
Regarding Fedora topics for 2021:
I am just curious what the general direction of rust is - especially in
Fedora.
Is the plan to replace specific applications or dependencies with rust ?
Or to someday have a Fedora version that uses as much of rust were feasible
?
What rust application should I install to give it a try ?
Is the use of rust still just for developers ?

Btrfs labels
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I changed a Btrfs label:
$ sudo btrfs filesystem label /storage
home <------------ Before
[poc@Bree Working]$ sudo btrfs filesystem label /storage storage
[poc@Bree Working]$ sudo btrfs filesystem label /storage
storage <---------- After
But:
$ lsblk -af
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT
[...]
sdc
└─sdc1 btrfs home 6496d6da-6b7a-4cdd-9bb8-767c08d1c84e 951.9G 49% /storage
^^^^
Has the label changed or not?

vncserver program disappered on FC32??
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have two machines running Fedora 32, and just noticed with the latest
update of tigervnc-server the vncserver is GONE?
Did a downgrade on both machines, and it is back and running just fine.
The one machine had rebooted, and therefor wasn't able to load the
server. The other machine still had the server running from before the
upgrade, so was able to vnc into it.
The file from the /usr/bin director was just no longer there. Tried a
reinstall, and still no file. Only the downgrade option restored it??
Not sure on how to report this. Didn't notice it until trying to vnc into
machine that had rebooted? The dnf whatprovides shows that the
program is included, so not sure what kind of error is in the latest
update??
Thanks and be Safe...

Do you disable IPV6? - Fedora Workstation
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi,
For a while (for a more than 10 Fedora releases) I used to disable IPv6
because I don't use it. It's been a while since I don't but I'm about
to disable it again on my new installation.
Is there a known application/service that might *misbehave* because it
expects a an ipv6 stack these days?
Thanks.

Unable to login into custom live image
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
I have created a custom live image using livecd-creator, but when I
boot from it there is no way to login into KDE after that.
I have tried adding:
%post
cat <<FOE > /etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf
[Autologin]
User=live-user
Session=plasma.desktop
FOE
%end
But I get the message:
ignoring %post failure (code 1)
/tmp/ks-script-xntc2id7: line 1: /etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf: No
such file or directory
My kickstart file is very basic and I have not added any packages that
would cause problems.
