Strange sendmail behaviour
by Stephen Davies
I am trying to change my sendmail configuration to deliver all "user unknown"
emails to a specific account (baduser).
I added the DL definition to sendmail.mc and generated test.cf.
Then I tested this new config using:
echo who | sendmail -v -Ctest.cf noone
and the email was correctly delivered to the defined account.
I then renamed test.cf to sendmail.cf (in /etc/mail) and retested with:
echo what | sendmail -Csendmail.cf noone
and again the email was delivered to the baduser account.
Happy with this, I then restarted sendmail (via systemctl) and sent yet
another email to an invalid account.
Instead of the email being delivered to baduser, I received a 550 5.1.1 user
unknown reject email.
What have I missed here.
(Fedora 22 & sendmail 8.14.7/8.13.3)

Windows 7 to Windows 10 in a KVM success!
by Tom Horsley
I've been running a Windows 7 KVM virtual machine for
a while with a Fedora 22 host, and I found lots of
conflicting info on the web about the possibility
of installing the Windows 10 upgrade in a KVM.
After taking great care to preserve the original
Windows 7 image file, I gave the upgrade a whirl
and it seems to have worked OK for me.
Full story at:
http://tomhorsley.com/misc/windows10-kvm.html
Now it won't constantly badger me about upgrading :-).

Language Problems - system is in English but commands work in Spanish
by Javier Perez
Hi
My system is supposed to be in English, but all the commands at the console
level give feedback in Spanish.
How can I troubleshoot this?
[root@bloody ~]# export
declare -x HISTCONTROL="ignoredups"
declare -x HISTSIZE="1000"
declare -x HOME="/root"

An Exercise: Manually creating a new boot disk from an existing one
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I am interested to see if it is possible to boot on an existing disk -
say /dev/sda ("A") - and then manually create everything required on a
second disk - /dev/sdb ("B") eg:
- create the partition table and partitions on B
- dd the existing boot track(s) from A to a file and then dd that to B -
or create it from scratch somehow?
- rsync the the first level directories into the appropriate places on
the new drive and partitions (maybe by temporarily booting on a Live USB
so we are not copying from a running system?)
If this is possible, what else would need to be done on B so that when
drive A is removed, the remaining B (the new "A") drive will be able to
boot and run normally?
Thanks!
Phil.

no grub after installing fedora23
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Fedora Experts,
I' ve recently bought a new Dell Precision m6800 and today I was trying to
install Fedora 23 in dual boot with windows 7 (this was the OS originally
on the machine).
I' ve run the installer from the live CD and after a couple of wrong
attempts I successfully finished the installation process without errors or
at least apparently without errors.
I' ve restarted the machine I got into the following error message:
*file "/boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod" NOT FOUND grub rescue>*
neither windows nor fedora boot.
Booting again from the live cd I got that ever the partition are there:

where sda1-3 are the original windows partitions, sda5 is /boot and sda6 is
/
I' ve mounted the /boot partition and inside grub2 there is not i386-pc dir
nor the normal.mod file. I' ve tried to manually copy
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod into /boot/grub2 but the only difference I
got is that the boot is stucked on
grub>
So what I have to do to fix the situation and be able to run both windows
and linux?
thank you in advance for your help.

by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
Everything is in the subject....
I don't know exactly since when youtube videos can't be played in
firefox on my machine (fedora 21): I can see the first image of the
video, the slider works normaly, but the video is not played....
Is it a bug or do I need some extra plugin?
Thank you.

recent apache timeout changes?
by Tom Horsley
Anyone know if the default values for timing out
recently changed in some httpd update on fedora?
I used to be able to "stream" recordings to MX Player
on my tablet by just providing the video files as
http links.
Sometime in the last few weeks though, MX Player
started cutting off the recording after about 10 minutes
(as though it believed it hit the end).
I have just found every apache directive with timeout
and keep alive in the name and changed them all to
huge values, and MX Player is no longer having a
problem, so one of them must have changed default
values.
Just wondering if anyone knows which one (out of
nothing more than idle curiosity).
