Modem/Router/Router -
by Bob Goodwin
.
I have a new problem with my internet connection which a few others on
this list may have encountered. They [Viasat] replaced the modem and
antenna in upgrading the system. The new modem has an integral router
having none of the feature I need to manage data usage, I've already
used more than 80% of my allowance in the first week. I normally use a
router with DD-WRT installed providing the features I need, showing the
amount of data used and which devices used it.
The problem is feeding their router data through my DD-WRT router. An
ethernet port is provided which they claim work but provide no
information for doing so. They sent a "technician" a few days ago and he
knew nothing more about it than I do except he assured me it should work
but did not know how to set up both routers, tried what he could for an
hour and said if you can't make it work and call for help, tell them to
send someone else ...
Yesterday I tried with my router set up on a different subnet and
seemingly working until in one of many equipment reboots their router
assigned my nfs server a new address, of course all I knew was it would
not mount until I connected a display and keyboard this morning, Now I
made theaddresspermanentusing network manager. Before this the modems
provided an ethernet port to which a wifi router was connected and
connecting to that was straight forward.
Certainly I am not the first one to see this problem, feeding data from
the ISP router to another one, and my hope is that someone can point me
in the right direction if not offer a solution. Google searches have not
led to a solution.

update to F30 seems to have failed
by Neal Becker
I just attempted update f29->f30 using
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30
After reboot
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
The system got to
running transaction
But then seemed to hang. I waited about 15 minutes. The laptop fan was not
running, indicating it was not using cpu. Alt-F2 etc would not switch
consoles, so I could not get a bash shell to check. The only thing that
responded is, on any keypress, it would repaint the screen with the list of
packages to be installed etc. So it wasn't dead. But I don't think it was
making any progress either. This is a fast machine with SSD, so I wouldn't
expect to wait too long to see something happen.

Eclipse and Fedora 30 upgrade issue
by Matthew Saltzman
Is there a workaround for the issue where the Fedora 30 upgrade decides
that all of Eclipse is not compatible with Fedora 30 and removes the
complete collection of Eclipse packages?
If it's best to wait until the issue is resolved before upgrading,
will GNOME Software automatically update my downloaded upgrade
packages? If not, how to make sure that update happens before the
install?
Thanks.

Freeradius bootstrap overwrite my certs
by Rafael Leiva-Ochoa
Hi Everyone,
I recently upgraded to Freeradius 3.0.19-1 and I noticed after I
restarted the service I was getting the following errors:
Apr 29 22:01:29 freeradius systemd[1]: Starting FreeRADIUS high performance
RADIUS server....
Apr 29 22:01:30 freeradius sh[1970]: make: *** No rule to make target
'server.cnf', needed by 'passwords.mk'. Stop.
Apr 29 22:01:30 freeradius systemd[1]: radiusd.service: Control process

Apr 29 22:01:30 freeradius systemd[1]: radiusd.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
Apr 29 22:01:30 freeradius systemd[1]: Failed to start FreeRADIUS high

msg='unit=radiusd comm="systemd
" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'
I got it from Fedora 28 Repo: freeradius-3.0.19-1.fc28.armv7hl. After a lot
of digging, I found that a "bootstrap" script on the /etc/raddb/certs/
directory was being called on the /usr/lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service.
This script overwrote my current certificate files. I had to comment out
the ExecStartPre=/bin/sh /etc/raddb/certs/bootstrap to fix the problem. I
am not sure if anyone else encountered this problem before.
Here is what I have on my /usr/lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service script
for systemd
[Unit]
Description=FreeRADIUS high performance RADIUS server.
After=syslog.target network-online.target ipa.service dirsrv.target
krb5kdc.service

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/radiusd -d /etc/raddb
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/radiusd -C
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

WantedBy=multi-user.target
Is this being addressed on future releases?
Thanks,
Rafael

Fedora 30 upgrade - Am I right with this error conclusion?
by Danny Horne
Hi all,
Despite what I said in another thread I decided to go ahead with the
upgrade to Fedora 30 (from 29) on three VMs running under VMWare. Two
went without problems, but the one running my webserver (with sites
secured by LetsEncrypt) gives the following errors -
Error:
Problem 1: package python2-acme-0.31.0-1.fc29.noarch requires
python2-josepy, but none of the providers can be installed
- python2-josepy-1.1.0-6.fc29.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade
repository
- problem with installed package python2-acme-0.31.0-1.fc29.noarch
Problem 2: package python2-certbot-dns-rfc2136-0.31.0-1.fc29.noarch
requires python2-certbot >= 0.21.1, but none of the providers can be
installed
- python2-certbot-0.31.0-2.fc29.noarch does not belong to a
distupgrade repository
- problem with installed package
python2-certbot-dns-rfc2136-0.31.0-1.fc29.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
I'm assuming I just need to wait for Certbot and its dependencies to
catch up, or is there a quicker way?
Thanks for looking
