I detest a graphical login and insist on running in multi-user mode (old runlevel 3). To start an X11 session after login, I can use the startx command. But I haven't found an equivalent command to start a Wayland session. An old post on this list suggests using weston-launch. But dnf says there is no package that includes such a command and I can't find any other weston command that looks likely. Surely I can't be the only one wanting to start from a command line?

Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'epel': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

by Kaushal Shriyan

Hi, I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa) OS in production environment. I have enabled both epel in /etc/yum.repos.d directory There is a proxy server setup in the network. I have whitelisted the below wildcard URLs as listed as per epel repo. https://*.fedoraproject.org *#cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo* [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - $basearch # It is much more secure to use the metalink, but if you wish to use a local mirror # place its address here. #baseurl=https://download.example/pub/epel/8/Everything/$basearch metalink= https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-8&arch=$basearch&inf... enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 countme=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8 I have only whitelisted https://*.fedoraproject.org on the http proxy server. Do I need to whitelist any additional URLs to address the above issue, or Am I missing anything? #yum -y install htop Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 49 B/s | 3.2 kB 01:05 Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'epel': - Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/repodata/re... [Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received] As you can see, http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ choose a random mirror as per the above output. I did run the below command.

Thanks in advance Best Regards, Kaushal

restoring fedora boot manager

by Bill Cunningham

I had to reinstall my windows system which is fine it takes care of itself. But, I have to install my entire fedora system from scratch. Is there a way to simply reinstall the boot loader code without having to install from scratch with a UEFI system? I'm sure there is but I don't know about it. There's also a command called "efibootmgr" is this what I am looking for? AFAIK fedora doesn't install more partitions but just code in the /boot/efi partition. How can I reinstall or repair boot loader code without touching the system? Without having to reinstalling from scratch? Bill

distrobox not working?

by Neal Becker

Just trying out distrobox on F38. I have 2 issues. One is it won't run a container without root. The other is I don't think it's actually working at all. distrobox enter ubuntu-20 Container ubuntu-20 is not running. Starting container ubuntu-20 run this command to follow along: podman logs -f ubuntu-20 Error: OCI runtime error: unable to start container "46a0c000c02583c2d4c4fb1e329de7a0f1daddc1d4bc812e7d0e409a2a353a8b": crun: error `creating` systemd unit `libpod-46a0c000c02583c2d4c4fb1e329de7a0f1daddc1d4bc812e7d0e409a2a353a8b.scope`: got `failed` Now try with --root [nbecker@ubuntu-20 ~]$ apt-get bash: apt-get: command not found OK, is this really a container running ubuntu? Doesn't seem to be, there's no apt-get. Any ideas? Thanks, Neal

Other day get a message about about regex version not matching, and was told to reintall container-selinux. That doesn't seem to fix issue. Did find changing to minimum option gets rid of the regex message? But why 2 of the machines seem to have no problem, but other 3 get same message?
