Hardware errors
by Anne Wilson
Hi. After a long time away from Linux I'll be asking some newby-type
questions, so I'll apologise from the start.
I have just installed the KDE Spin of FC27 to a four-year-old Lenovo
G510 laptop, with a 120GB drive installed. Dring bootup I'm seeing
messages about hardware failures. They don't linger long enough to
write them down, and boot.log appears to be empty (unless that's because
I'm logged in as user, not root). They mention
TSC_Deadline
mce
dracut-pre-udev
How desperate is this? Is it really telling me it's time to ditch that
laptop?

Hi, Patrick. Tried that, resulting:
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: M
mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 AD
mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSO
It's hard to be sure whether anything is not working correctly. I am
having problems getting my mind back into linux mode. As you say, much
has changed in recent years, apart from my increasing lapses of memory.

Please help me with samba or my brain will explode.
by Илья Коскин
Hello everybody. Here is my problem. I have two computers, both with fedora workstation 27, both with selinux disabled, both fully updated. Both have the same configuration of samba:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
usershare max shares = 5
usershare allow guests = yes
guest ok = yes
Map to guest = Bad user
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @printadmin root
force group = @printadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
as you can see, everything i changed from default config is this strings:
usershare max shares = 5
usershare allow guests = yes
guest ok = yes
Map to guest = Bad user
Both computers have directories /var/lib/samba/usershares with sticky bit enabled.
On both machines i have created usershares this way:
net usershare add Share /home/kasak/Share "" Everyone:F guest_ok=y
As you can see this is simple configuration, nothing special.
/home/kasak/Share owned by kasak, but have 777 permissions, so user "nobody" can write there.
But on one machine everything works just fine, but on another machine i only can create dirs or files in the root of the "Share".
For example, if I create directory foo, cd to there, and try to create directory bar, samba sais that I don't have permissions! And on another machine it works just fine!
With all the same configs! I even can delete the foo directory, but i can't create files there!
The only difference between computers is that on one I have full disk formatted and mounted as root, and on another i have /home partition separately.
But they all are formatted to ext4 and have similar mount options (defaults)

can "more" and "less" be used effectively interchangeably?
by Robert P. J. Day
currently perusing some linux courseware i'll be delivering later
this month, and i'm fascinated by the early claim that the "more" and
"less" commands can be used interchangeably. i don't recall that
*ever* being the case, given that more is part of util-linux, and less
is a separate package, and less has always had more functionality than
more.
am i misremembering? has there been some quiet effort to make those
commands equivalent?

warning about spectre with last kernel update
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I just updated f27 and the new installed kernel
(4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64), sends these messages at boot time:
kernel: Spectre V2 : Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
kernel: Spectre V2 : System may be vulnerable to spectre v2
What do they mean and what to do? Waiting for next kernel update?
Thank you.

weird effect: gnome-terminal does not open links correctly
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
I'm running f27 under gnome with gnome-terminal as preferred terminal
application.
Anybody has seen that opening URL's found within the gnome-terminal
output is not done correctly (popup menu: Open link ... in
gnome-terminal)? Only the issuer's home URL is opened, independent from
the URL found in the terminal.
Using konsole5 instead of gnome-terminal will solve the problem.
Kind regards

Re: Hardware errors
by Rami Rosen
Hi, Anne,
I have a question: does the boot completes and you reach the login screen ?
( or terminal if you are in non x mode) ? Or are you dropped to some sort
of dracut or a maintenace mode ? Generally, as one of the replies mentions,
there are sometimes errors messages that you can ignore.
Regards,
Rami Rosen

Do you see messages like the above? Try:
journalctl -n 50000
I have errors along that line since 1.5 yrs or so, since I installed some
Fedora
the fist time on that machine. As long as no one tells me this is serious,
and as
long as I don't see smoke, fire, or sparks coming out of the computer, or
hear strange noises from the machine: I won't care much. I'd start to
care if hardware wasn't detected - things like that ...

To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
by Anne Wilson
I mistakenly installed the Gnome Desktop from a live DVD - my SSD is small, and I want KDE, so I have burned a disk with the Spin. Problem now, though, is that Fedora appears to have turned UEFI back on, and I can't find any way of getting back to promoting the DVD drive. Interrupting the boot simply offers me the choice of the existing Workstation or Rescue. How can I access the spin install?

How to get a recent / maintained version of Mesa for F27?
by Gerhard Hueller
Hi,
Fedora 27 still ships with Mesa-17.2.4 - which is not only outdated, but furthermore the 17.2 series is more or less is end-of-life.
Mesa-17.3. is already stable and reached the middle of its lifecycle (17.3.4) recently, while 18.0 is expected to be released any day now.
Are there prebuilt packages of Mesa-17.3.3/4 available somewhere?
Greetings, Gehard
