'Permission denied' running %pre script in kickstart (f28)
by Digimer
Hi all, I have a kickstart script for installing Fedora 28 that has a
somewhat large %pre script. When anaconda tries to run it, it fails;
====
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Boss[1704]:
INFO:anaconda.modules.boss.module_manager:All modules are ready now.
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost anaconda[1641]: anaconda: kickstart.script:

====
The script itself, when run manually, succeeds;
====
[anaconda root@localhost tmp]# /tmp/ks-script-e3w92zo7
Finding install drive for a Striker dashboard.
Analyzing platter drive: [/dev/vda], using the transport: [], of the

====
This sounded like an SELinux denial, so I set 'selinux --permissive' to
debug, and it still gets the same error;
====
[anaconda root@localhost ~]# sestatus

Any thoughts on debugging?

mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
by Frédéric
Hi,
When I plug my new 64Gb SDXC card, I get this in dmesg:
mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
I have fuse, fuse-exfat and exfat-utils installed. I am using F28 on x86_64.
Works well with 8Gb SDHC.
Thanks,

gnuplot 5.2
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Could update the gnuplot package in fedora 28?
In addition, could you compile it with the cerf library?
Thank

Increasingly frequent problem with: "Unexpected system error";
kernel-core; 4.16.15-300.fc28.x86_64; cannot be reported - related to Chrome
and probably YouTube
by Philip Rhoades
People,
"The backtrace does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be
reported. It is annoying but it does not necessary signalize a problem
with your computer. ABRT will not allow you to create a report in a bug
tracking system but you can contact kernel maintainers via e-mail."
For a long time I have been in the habit of overworking Chrome (eg quite
frequently a dozen windows open with hundreds of tabs) but a little
while ago, instead of just slowly grinding the system to a halt, these
crashes started happening - and then more frequently - now it is up to a
couple of times a day before I can even get anywhere near to my usual
practice of overloading. I haven't cleaned out histories or other stuff
out of Chrome yet but I think my hardware should be up to handling a
decent load but there is obviously something wrong . . and getting worse
. .
My gear:
Chrome: Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
See attached txt file for complete HW.
Any suggestions about how to debug this problem would be appreciated.
Regards,
Phil.

No "su" / Admin account in Fedora 29?
by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr.
Hello all, I was just wondering how to go about creating the "su" /
admin account for F-29? I installed the beta and it only created the
main user,...I'm almost certain that in F-28 there was an option upon
install to create the admin/root account? I didn't see it in the beta,
is it gone? is there now a new process? Just curious is all.....
Thank In Advance
