DNF Doesn't Complete
by Richard Ibbotson 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi Yes. The upgrade from f28 to f29 went well. Many thanks to everyone out there. However, after running 'dnf update' I can now see this error message... terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libdnf::File::CloseException' what(): Cannot close file: /var/cache/dnf/fedora-modular-ce4dd907f26812da/repodata/8ed681e4b33f294f482602e931965a37c29434f72e76a1d96999d3fb4636001d-modules.yaml.gz I have tried to run 'dnf clean all' That doesn't make a difference.

NFS acting weird?
by Tom Horsley 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

I've got filesystems hosted on centos 7. They are mounted (nfs4) on my newly configured fedora 29 desktop. I'm debugging an executable that lives on the NFS filesystem. I make changes and recompile over on the centos system. I try testing the newly compiled executable on fedora 29 and it acts totally strange in ways that make no sense. I reboot the fedora 29 system and try testing again, and everything seems to be as expected. I can't put my finger on anything specific, but it sure seems like NFS is at fault somehow. When I had fedora 28 on this same desktop and was doing the same kind of development, the strangeness never manifested.

by Ronaldo Mercado 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi, I would like to test an update to gnuplot from bugzilla #1476616. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476616 I am using fedora 28 and I managed to install the package okay from copr I don't know my way around gnuplot. I tried the simple plot from http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/simple.html Do you have an example plot that uses the libcerf functions? Thanks. Ronaldo

F28 help with firfox-tls-proxy
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

greetings i am in a hospital bed pecking left handed from being hit by a car, instead of in bankok for ietf meeting. this hospital's firewall/proxy is giving firefox problems connecting to ietf.org Secure Connection Failed The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. I am hoping that someone can help me disable FF checking. IT at the hospital is hard to reach... thanks

(F28) Lost touchpad scrolling Synaptics
by tonynelson＠georgeanelson.com 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Touchpad edge scrolling had been working with libinput. I installed xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy-1.9.0-7.fc28.x86_64 to get back having typing disable the touchpad momentarily (y'all know why). For a little while, touchpad scrolling worked properly, and then it got erratic so that I thought it was a kernel update, and then it stopped working at all. Removing synaptics and rebooting and thus returning to libinput has brought back touchpad scrolling. It also seems to have retained that little touchpad insensitivity while typing. Can anyone explain or tell me how to figure this out? -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>

devel changes :: recommendation for changes
by Adrian Sevcenco 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi! Starting with f28 there were some changes in glibc components (and i think not only that) .. so, regarding tirpc contents now should be enough to add -I/usr/include/tirpc ? what is the difference between tirpc and ntirpc ? can ntirpc replace tirpc ? also i have some autoconf problems : link step that used to work in f27 now does not find references ... Does anyone have any ideas/advices related to these? Thanks a lot!! Adrian

Why this activity on mounted but unused fs?
by Eyal Lebedinsky 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

While configuring a new raid I ran iostat to see that it is idle. It was, and there was no io showing at all. I then mounted it on a new mount point which I have no process using. I started hearing knocks from the PC case, and touching the disks revealed that they all had activity 1-2 times a second, concurrently, leading to the louder than usual noise. Here is what "iostat 60" is now showing on a totally idle system (this is a very typical entry): avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.21 0.00 0.19 1.36 0.00 98.24 Device tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 0.73 0.93 4.07 56 244 sdb 5.87 8.53 20.78 512 1247 sdd 6.67 10.93 23.18 656 1391 sdf 8.50 40.27 52.52 2416 3151 sde 6.20 4.40 16.65 264 999 sdh 5.97 10.13 22.38 608 1343 sdg 7.77 38.00 50.25 2280 3015 sdc 5.87 8.53 20.78 512 1247 md127 1.80 0.00 40.27 0 2416 sda is the root fs (ext4). md127 (ext4) is a RAID6 of 7 disks sd[b-h]1. What is this io, and can it be stopped? I want to allow the disks to enter low power mode (not spin down) when idle. This is up-to-date recent install of f28 (this is a test system, so not customized). TIA -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

interrupted upgrade F28 -> F29 hosed dnf
by Greg Woods 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

I was upgrading a system from F28 ro F29 and the power failed during the upgrade. I don't know what point the upgrade was at when it failed. The basic problem is that most (but not all) dnf commands just die with a traceback: [root@elric greg]# dnf clean all Failed to set locale, defaulting to C 34 files removed [root@elric greg]# dnf check-update Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Last metadata expiration check: 0:06:54 ago on Mon Nov 5 17:01:33 2018.

I painstakingly (using rpm) removed all the dups, so that now "dnf check" runs with no output (other than the locale complaint). But commands like "update", "check-update", "install" will just get the traceback. The system seems to be running OK (although still with an F28 kernel), but of course it is now impossible to update it. Is there a way to fix this? I'm thinking I could have had a working system by now by just installing F29 from scratch, but I'm also trying to learn here. Is a full install my only option at this point? Thanks, --Greg

OT: how to get shell status of first pipe shell command (when fail), not that of the last one
by Dario Lesca 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

When I concatenate 2 or more shell command with pipe (|), I get only the status of last one. For example: "some-cmd | logger -t "some-cmd messages:"; echo $?" If "some-cmd" fail with status !=0 I get always status of last one, in this case 0 In my case if the first command fail, I must send a warning message A more simple example is: "false | true" I want get status 1, of first command (false), not 0 (true) I have also try "sh -e -c 'false || exit 2|true'; echo $?" but I get always 0 How to I get first status and break the chains of pipes ? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 28 Workstation)
