I was thinking about this thread and just started a test. My thinking was that 
/boot/efi is small and thus raid 1 made the most sense. It let me select 3 
disks and the install (under VirtualBox) is going on right now. Note that raid 
1 is not limited to just two disks/partitions, it can make multi disk mirror 
sets. Most people don't really think about that since you don't get the size 
advantages of raid 5.

[snip]

The process running akmods might have finished, but you should not reboot 
unless it actually created a module. I use a shell alias I call "kerncheck", 
which does the below. You might want to see what this shows you:

ls -ltr /lib/modules/*/extra;echo;ls -ltr /lib/modules;echo;echo -n "Currently 
booted to: ";uname -r;echo

If there is no module showing for the new kernel then it clearly can not load. 
You then look at the error logs. I don't have Nvidia currently and can't 
remember where you find those logs.

Assuming you are using loader/entries, this should tell you which files you are

Are you sure that it is docker that is answering on 8080?

Sometimes your ISP or router will have a management interface on 8080.

If you are behind NAT then 8080 would not reach into your internal network 
unless it was specifically port forwarded. Only mentioned since it is still 
pretty rare to have a fully routed IP address.

I think that what seems to be a bug might be that a new kernel install looks at 
/proc/cmdline to see how it was booted and grabs things from there. So you need 
to test any fix by rebooting and seeing that it does not use the rhgb thing. 
That will mean that it is not in /proc/cmdline and all is good.

I learned this by rebooting with a fsck switch used. A later kernel install set 
that switch so that it would fsck on each boot/reboot.

Doing a general google search with that model plus "linux" I ended up with the 
suggestion to download and install the version of hplip found at:

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing

That page says: "The current version of the HPLIP solution is version 3.23.8"

So I checked what F38 is offering:

Installing:
 hplip  x86_64   3.23.5-8.fc38   updates   20 M

So we are close, but not at the bleeding edge here. Maybe it would worth the 
hassle of trying a manual install of it. If you do just make sure to watch 
where everything goes so that you can clean it back up if it does not help.

What do you get with:

For me:
>sysctl net.ipv4.ping_group_range
net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0   2147483647

Not sure if you might sometimes need sudo to show that. My outcome shows that

If I remember right (and it has not changed) then you need an actual swap 
partition and not just a "swapfile".

I think the partition will also need to be listed in the Grub boot line also.

That is normal for linux raid. Here is a sample of an MD raid1:

Or, even better:

First download their GPG key

$ curl https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY  > skype-gpg-key

Then import it to RPM:

#sudo rpm --import skype-gpg-key

And then try your install.

I assume it is not just starting the VirtualBox Manager that is doing this.

It might help to know how much memory is assigned to the VB clients that are 
running.

A dnf update will do this. Since 'coreutils' has a lot of files it causes a

Once you setup the Ventoy USB stick you just copy .iso files to it.

Not sure if this is what you are refering to, but one option that saves a bunch 
of time in that situation is to add "--setopt=keepcache=1" to the dnf command

I think this is a very good thread to have in the archive. I don't think it 
shows that you should not use Fedora. I think it clearly shows that the 
community is ready and willing to help and that you need to actually 
participate in that process.

It also demonstrates how a bad attitude will lead to poor outcomes.

Posting the above got me thinking. I have a 3 drive raided system, so I can 
boot from any of sda, sdb or sdc.

I ran a grub2-install on sdb and rebooted, stopping at bios to reboot from sdc 
and then sdb. Yup, each drive needed a new grub install or else it had that 
issue. So I am 99% sure that this is just a case of me not having updated my 
grub version on disk for so long.

Let this be a reminder to people upgrading over many version of Fedora. It does 
not hurt to update your grub boot sector every now and then. Maybe worth doing 
after each major Fedora version update.

P.S. Thanks to Tom for confirming that this is rare.

New kernel install had issues. (6.0.5-200.fc36.x86_64)

2022-10-30 Thread Doug H.
I do dnf upgrade any morning where something shows up as new. Today was
the big kernel jump to 6.x kernel. Was not worried I guess since I just
ran the update like normal and rebooted to it.

Ended up at:

error: ../../grub-core/kern/dl.c:429:symbol `grub_debug_is_enabled' not
found.
Entering rescue mode...
gruub rescue> _


Booted to the F36 install media and did the rescue option. It found my
system and setup my chroot. I simply ran:

chroot /mnt/sysroot
grub2-install /dev/sda
(no errors)
exit

And rebooted to that. All seems great.

Note that this is a very "old" system, having been dnf upgraded from
F19 all the way to today. I notice that the grub menu looks a bit
different, so it could be an issue of having an old grub on the disk
that needed an update.

Also note that I am pretty sure I have not rebooted since doing a disk
clone from my laptop (not this system) where I mounted old and new
laptop on this system and did a variety of dd, rsync, grub2-install,
reset UUIDs, etc. If I accidentally touch my sda instead of the sdd and
sde that I was working on then I might have created a bomb that went
off at reboot. I don't *think* that happened but not 100% sure.

Everything seems to be working, so I don't need any help, but wanted to
report this just in case.

I have only updated since F19 or so and mine did get the update. I know I did

If dnf has a kernel update I check for the modules with my 'kerncheck' alias:

kerncheck:   aliased to ls -ltr /lib/modules/*/extra;echo;ls -ltr 
/lib/modules;echo;echo -n "Currently booted to: ";uname -r;echo

That format is for csh/tcsh.

I just thought to check the web interface that the printer provides and I see 
that connection protocols can be turned off.

George might have the final answer, maybe your model will only work via a USP 
connection if using the brlaser option.

But, I checked my virtual machine to see how it is connecting to the printer...

Brother_DCP-L2550DW_series
Brother_DCP-L2550DW_series (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)
Description:Brother DCP-L2550DW series
Location:   
Driver: Brother DCP-L2550DW series, using brlaser v6 (grayscale, 2-sided 
printing)
Connection: 
dnssd://Brother%20DCP-L2550DW%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-3c2af4d12445
Defaults:   job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in 
sides=two-sided-long-edge

So it does seem to be using dnssd. This is a pretty generic F36 XFCE install so 
I did not do much to get that working, mostly just needed to start cups.

More words of support for the Brother printers, I am using DCP-L2550DW.

I am still using the install tool from Brother but I did just confirm that 
"brlaser" has now been fully added to Fedora. 

You would do:
sudo dnf install printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64

I then found it via the cups interface at:
http://localhost:631

This worked well with the printer setup with wifi on the network and no USB 
hooked up. I was testing it on a vanilla XFCE F36 virtualbox host.

Note that scanning needed the extra steps of:
sudo dnf install xsane sane-airscan

I don't have VMWare, using VirtualBox. But I think it did actually *build* my

I can confirm that I am still running on the .4 version of the headers:

kmod-VirtualBox-5.17.5-200.fc35.x86_64-6.1.34-2.fc35.x86_64


Maybe the VMWare build is being a bit too picky about the required header?

I might be missing something, but I think the wifi option would put it onto the 
local network so that even the wired only systems would see it.

But I guess the wifi could be setup as an isolated network, in which case it 
would not help.

Hopefully someone will know how to get Windows to stop being such a pain.

It looks like the kernel module is wrong.  The sound worksgreat whenI boot to

Any help would be appreciated.

Running aplay -lV
will show you all your audio devices that alsa recognizes.

Are you using pulseaudio or pipewire?  If it is available, I suggest
you switch to pipewire by dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire
as that is going to be the new default in Fedora.  And once you have
done that, install wireplumber and easyeffects, and, if you don't
already have it installed, pavucontrol
dnf install wireplumber easyeffects pavucontrol
If there is now sound, you are done, but if there isn't, start
pavucontrol and set the default device to the sound device you want to
use.  It seems you have only one, so that should be easy, but the
graphics device usually has an hdmi sound device that often is
recognized before any other device because the boot up process
prioritizes graphics over sound.

If you still have problems, post back.

aplay -lv showed that the sound devices are there.  I have pulseaudio and 
pipewire installed but neither one seems to be running.  I have one output 
from the motherboard and one from the graphics card.  pavucontrol says it is 
trying to connect to pulseaudio and just sits there. my cpu is a Ryzen 7 
2700X and my video card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti/PCIe/SSE2.


I looked at the journal with journalctl.  It said the nvidia drivers were 
tainted so I signed them but it did not work.


The sound does work when I boot using a live CD for Fedora 35.

An alternate solution...

Set the Firefox window to "Always Below Other Windows". If the thing you care

I know this is all sorted out but wanted to give some tips on planning your 
updates...

If you want to contribute to the testing of Fedora then update as soon as a new 
release comes out. There are always a few things that need attention so it is 
good to have the "early adopters" in there checking things out.

If you want a little more stability then it makes sense to update somewhere in 
the middle of the schedule. That gives time for that early stuff to get sorted 
out and it is not so close to the next release that all the developers are 
stressed out with the new release. By that thinking it *is* about time to do an 
upgrade but no real hurry.

Using that method I have been happily running an install that has not been 
"Fresh" since Fedora 19.

Looking at my notes, I can add some of my notes. These may or may not apply to 
you...

(Should not be needed since you are not changing the UUID of the Raid)
Add any missing raid UUIDs to /etc/default/grub, there should be a  
"rd.md.uuid=UUID" for each one of your RAID (not partition)
UUIDs. Rerun  grub2-mkconfig to update your grub.cfg.

(Should not be needed since you are not changing the UUID of the Raid)
Remember to check /etc/mdadm.conf, just in case. 

The above is mostly a reminder to review all raid related stuff after any such 
change.

If you happen to use a mix of ssd and rotating rust then remember this bit:

Enable it if you add an SSD for sda:
echo writemostly > /sys/block/md1/md/dev-sdb1/state 
echo writemostly > /sys/block/md1/md/dev-sdc1/state

Make 100% sure that then new disk has at least as many sectors (I think it is 
the sectors) as the old drive. If not then something needs to be shrunk down a 
bit to allow that `sfdisk` copy to work properly. That is why it is best to 
leave some unused space when first building these.

Not 100% sure that the "grow" is correct there since you are not changing the 
size but it will let you know one way or the other. My notes have "mdadm 
--manage /dev/md127 --add /dev/sdd1"

Just to confirm, that was it. The new install (from "Everything") has formatted 
as btrfs. 

I like to just use the netinstall to save bandwidth and I think I was avoiding 
"Everything" as if that was going to download a larger item, which is silly 
since it is also a CD iso and the size is listed right there.

Thanks again. This allows my sample vanilla test system to be more vanilla.

Aha!

I think you got it. My memory is that there used to be a workstation netinstall 
and then there was only the server netinstall. Maybe it changed to "Everything" 
and I did not notice it. Or maybe I just got confused. Either way, I do see the 
Everything iso and will grab that and try the install using that one instead.

Thanks much.

Fedora 35 using XFS as default for Network iso / XFCE?

2021-11-20 Thread Doug H.

Shortly after the release of Fedora 35 I downloaded:

Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-35-1.2.iso

I generally keep the current netinstall iso in case I might want to use
it for repair and I also generally use it to create a VitrualBox
install to show what a vanilla Xfce install looks like.

I am taking defaults for the disk partitioning but I am switching to
Xfce desktop.

I have stated the install and it is currently downloading the packages.
The interesting part is that I see that it has used XFS instead of
BTRFS.

Might this be expected?

Might it be due to the netinstall being a bit out of date?

Might it be due to XFCE desktop?

Ack. My bad, it is still supported. 

I find:

"Fedora Linux 33 EOL auto closure   Tue 2021-11-30"

So, yes, I think it would make more sense to try fixing this before going to 
F34, but would still be planning for that soon.

Thomas has pointed to something to help get it fixed, but I wanted to make sure 
that people know that you should not disable it if you might later want to 
re-enable it. It is safer to set it to permissive instead. This allows you to 
run things that were being blocked but it lets selinux keep up to date and is 
less likely to end up with the sort of issue that you are having.

Not sure that is likely to be there for Fedora, but you should check:

Re: Monitor shuts off randomly - possibly sync problem?

2021-08-02 Thread doug . lindquist

My monitor does the same thing.  I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Hi,
I have fedora34 installed on my desktop with three monitors; two of
them are older 27" Samsungs, and the third is a new 34" Samsung
S34J55x. Occasionally, the 34" seems to shut off for a second, then
comes back on and continues to work normally.

Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? The other two monitors
have never done this. However, when it happens, the other two seem to
follow with shutting off for a second. It always seems to be driven by
the new 34" monitor.

The problem is that, when this happens, all of the windows on the 34"
monitor move to the 27" monitor on the right once the monitors turn on
again.

This is not a power problem, as the entire computer is connected to
the same power strip, backed by a 2200W UPS.

My video card is also new - it's a Radeon RX570. All three monitors
are connected via displayport.

I do see lines in my Xorg.0.log file periodically along the lines off
the following:

[994674.766] (EE) event6  - Logitech Gaming Keyboard G910: client bug:

But are they related? Is this also an issue? The system itself is a
12-core with 64GB of RAM, so certainly not slow.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz

Please let me know what more I can do to troubleshoot this before
contacting Samsung directly.

It is a Let's Encrypt cert so they are only good for three months and should be 
auto renewed by a cronjob. I suspect the cronjob needs to be looked at.

Maybe there's an issue with FF 90.0 that contributes to my (intermittent)

FC33 is still providing FF 90.0:

Hopefully it will provide 90.0.2 in the near future. In the meantime I'll run

I remember having that issue. I have it showing now, looks like Control-m will

That sounds like a classic usage case for a cron job. One script the does the

I don't think anybody gave an example of procedure to update...

1. Turn off auto updates to dnf.
2. Daily update: sudo dnf upgrade
2a. If there is not kernel update hit "Yes" and stop here.
2b. If there is a kernel update hit "No"
3. Delete the "rescue" stuff in /boot and /boot/loader/entries/
4. sudo dnf upgrade -y
5. Reenable auto updates if you wish.

This will make sure you get your rescue built right away without having to push 
the build yourself. This just lets the system do it for you. You could just do 
the deletes and then wait, but it might be days before a new kernel comes in to 
push the rebuild.

Yup. Something else I just noticed that *might* be important...

That says that ws.linuxlighthouse.com is the one and only name server for the 
domain. Whereas whois shows the more normal 2 minimum:

>whois LINUXLIGHTHOUSE.COM | grep ^Name
Name Server: WS.LINUXLIGHTHOUSE.COM
Name Server: NS3.ATTDNS.COM

So, even if you let NS3.ATTDNS.COM pull the zone from you it might not work 
correctly if they just use the zone you feed them without adding themselves to 
the mix with an NS record.

If you don't have a "modern" keyboard with a left Windows key, you can 
push ctrl+esc to get the same effect. In most cases, the right Windows key
does nothing, so it is a good choice for the Compose key. If you don't

Nice. That shows that the "glue" record *is* there after all. The results from 
that site got me to realize that this will give the IP:

Others have given good answers, but let me show you how I parse it...

>whois linuxlighthouse.com | grep ^Name
Name Server: WS.LINUXLIGHTHOUSE.COM
Name Server: NS3.ATTDNS.COM

First one is not useful since it lives inside the domain. See:
https://ns1.com/blog/glue-records-and-dedicated-dns

So I check the other one:

>dig @NS3.ATTDNS.COM linuxlighthouse.com any

Note the part "WARNING: recursion requested but not available", so it is saying 
that it is not authoritative for that domain.

So I check to see that it is the auth for its own domain:

It has nothing to do with the physical keyboard.  It's the keyboard

I believe that it has not become clear to all readers. In plain words, 
you need a keyboard
that has a number panel to the right of the letter keyboard. These 
number keys will also,
adjacent to them, on the right, have a - sign at the top right, and a +

These + and - keys have a DIFFERENT key code than the ones on the letter 
keyboard.
Laptops don't have a separate number panel, and many--perhaps most--of 
the k/b's
that come with new computers don't either. People who don't do numeric

The more common selection for the Compose key is rt-alt or, if a Windows

As of today, below is a list of all the Gnome 3 related packages on my 
Fedora 34 WS Beta install:


  gnome-bluetooth                    1:3.34.5-1
  gnome-bluetooth-libs                 1:3.34.5-1
  gnome-color-manager                  3.36.0-4

  gnome-user-share                                  3.34.0-5

There are five Gnome 40 packages that are either Beta or RC

gnome-backgrounds 40rc
    gnome-session.x86_64                      40~beta-1

That is true but you do have to remember that nouveau is open source based on

Unfortunately the cross over cable has not solved the issue. It works just the 
same as a straight cable in this situation. The NIC does say that it supports 
auto detection, which does seem to be working and not the core of this issue.

An interesting note is that while testing with the cross over cable I ended up 
with it hardly working at all. The fix was `ethtool -s enp5s0 mdix on`. So it 
does seem that these commands were doing something after all.

I did find a 1 Gig switch that has a low power draw, so I can either use that 
to fully fix the issue or I can use my "bounce it from the Pi side" icon after 
each reboot.

Install Wine on your Linux machine. Then the command
wine windowsapp.exe should install it and let it run

Since nobody has replied I will take a shot and people can correct if needed...

Btrfs seems like a good choice since it improves data integrity and is now the 
default for fresh Fedora installs.

Best to format with a partition instead of just using the file system on the 
"raw" /dev/sdX, so yes for that one I guess.

You can use more than one partition if you want to segregate things for any 
reason, like backups etc. You might also like multiple partitions if it is a 
very large disk.

GParted is a fine choice, but whatever works for you. I use Xfce so the 
Accessories / Disks GUI works fine but I do also have GParted installed. I am 
sort of old school so tend to just use the `fdisk` command line util, but that 
is rather old so maybe gdisk would be the better option now.

1. Turned off my rc.local line of `/sbin/ethtool -s enp5s0 wol g`
2. Powered off, did my "power drain" thing.
3. Booted, finding it working fine (as before).
4. Checked Wake on LAN and it was still on, hmmm...
5. Realized that it was being set by NetworkManager, the rc.local was only 
needed when
   I was using network *without* NetworkManager.
6. Set NetworkManager setting to off/default. Verified with `ethtool`.
7. Reboot. Still seeing the issue.

P.S. I found a Belkin cable for $3.99. I like that name better, so ordered it.
Belkin 3-Foot CAT5e Crossover Molded Networking Cable (Yellow)

It seems worth the test and worth having such a cable.

This is also a "For what it is worth" addition...

Yup, this connection is static, so clearly not that issue.

On my post Pi reboot test I started by powering off my computer, then "draining 
it" by turning off the power supply switch then hitting the power button which 
gives a click from the speaker. Only then do I turn the power supply back on 
and again hitting the power button to power up. Interestingly this *did* then 
find the NIC to work fine. Problem solved?, nope. I then rebooted to see the 
problem still there. This did allow me to test my new desktop icon to run an 
ssh over to the Pi (once I see WiFi up). The script (ssh pi 'sudo mii-tool 
--reset eth0') works fine. So I am done with this, I will just watch to see if 
something mysteriously fixes it eventually. But I will be happy to test 
anything else people might want me to try.

Thanks all for the help.

I just realized that the ethtool output from the Pi side had only the single

I did try this. Those commands do execute without giving an error but it does 
not then turn on any lights.

I did look thru my old cable box and found a D8CM and a GS8E so tried those. 
Not help.

Not yet sure of the difference but maybe...
D8CM = Cat6
GS8E = GigaSPEED XL

But some good news, mostly...

While testing on the Pi end I found out that I can get the card to light up 
(and work) by resetting from the Pi side. Not sure why I had not tried that 
before.

Once the WiFi is up I can connect to the Pi that way and issue `sudo mii-tool 
--reset eth0`.

This wakes up lights on the Pi and then quickly does the same on my host.

I will need to write a script to run at boot time that waits for the WiFi to 
connect and then ssh over to wake up the Ethernet. Silly, but I just want to be 
able to stop doing the cable pull/push at reboot.

Ah, good point. It should have been obvious but I have not even looked at the 
Pi end yet, other than `dmesg` and seeing the renewed connection:

$ dmesg |tail -2
[1932715.302313] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: Link is Down

control off


I will check to see how that is set. Maybe just forced 100 full on both ends 
will solve this.

But I do have an old bin with Ethernet stuff, so maybe I still have an old 
cross over cable.

I do. Netgear FS116 Fast Ether switch.

This will also help to flesh out what Ed was asking about...

While up and working I added the switch in the middle. Worked fine, the 
connection came right back up once both hosts were plugged in.

This also gave me better visibility to the state during boot (the Ed 
questions). While booting the 10M light was on and this is the light that 
remained on all the way to the grub menu. I did hold there to make sure it was 
stable and then set a timer to see how long before the lights go out once I hit 
 to select the kernel. That was 8 seconds.

But then comes the kicker...

This time the link came back up (as it used to, working at 100M) and it was 
working fine by the time Xfce was up I was able to check. So this issue does 
not seem to effect my setup if passing thru a switch.

I did/do still find ethtool to not want to do much:

# ethtool --test enp5s0
Cannot test: Operation not supported

# ethtool --reset enp5s0 all
ETHTOOL_RESET 0x
Cannot issue ETHTOOL_RESET: Operation not supported

So the good news is that this presents a fully automated (no pull/push) fix. 
The bad news is that I would have to live with 24x7 power drain of the switch 
since I can't tell it to suspend with my host. I will check the power draw with 
my "KillaWatt".

Yes, the lights are happy/flashy up until a couple of seconds after the kernel

Yup, it is CAT5 from port to port. I set it up to get better speeds when 
transferring files for the Plex player on the Pi. I then started to use it for 
the ability to "wake on LAN" since the Pi runs all time and this system is 
often suspended. This is why I waited to fix it. The system runs without this 
link but I *like* having it so finally sat down and started hammering at it.

In reply to the question about wire corrosion: I have pulled/pushed the cable a

cable works great with the alternate NIC. And I did boot to "sysrescue" and 
found the NIC with good carrier.

It does not seem random and it does not stop working while the OS is running 
except that it does not work after boot/reboot until the first 
unclip/pull/push. Oh, and it does stay up/working on resume from suspend 
(should have noted that one, seems important).

I did verify this morning that a cold boot does cause the problem. A reboot 
(warm) will also cause it. Note that the NIC lights do come on when the 
computer is turned on but then the lights go out at some point after the kernel 
is selected by grub. So it does seem that linux is doing it...

Hey, I should cold boot to a Ventoy boot stick to see what happens.

Yup, I should have noted the various stuff I have tried. A couple of times now 
I have rebooted to create the issue and then pounded on the interface with no 
luck. I then just unclip/pull/push the cord and it comes up like magic.

After posting this I installed an old PCI ether card to get around the issue. 
The only trouble there is that the card does not seem to support "Wake on LAN" 
which is annoying but I think I can live with that.

Another note that I should have included is that this *is* a very old box. It 
will be 12 years old sometime this year (October I think). And this is the 
onboard LAN, so maybe it *is* something physical. It just seems odd that it 
works without issue once it is "bounced" to the working state.

Ethernet port "bounce" command?

2021-02-27 Thread Doug H.
I am having an odd problem with my ethernet port. I assume this came
with a dnf update but that was some weeks ago so I can't help figure
out what update might have done it. When first discovered I think I
found that booting from an older kernel did not fix it. I assume that
the physical interface is not the problem since a physical "bounce"
always fixes it and it shows no other problems. To explain that...

The trouble is that the ethernet port will not come out of the "no-
carrier" state no matter how much I mess with the various commands that
are supposed to effect it.

The simple fix is to physically unplug and replug the cable. When it is
not working (each reboot) there are not lights on. The physical
"bounce" lights up the LEDs and it comes right up.

So, I am asking for something to add to rc.local that does the same
thing.

I use a wifi adapter for my main/Internet connection. This port is just
used for a wired link to my Raspberry Pi.

The command that seems like it *should* work:
sudo mii-tool --reset enp5s0

But that does not fix it.

SOMETHING does virtual background in Linux. Maybe it's skype. I 
haven't actually used either facility, but when I was
playing around with the installations, I ran into the virtual background

Just a few days ago the BBC had a story about second-hand booksellers
doing a nice trade in selling batches of serious-looking books that
people could place strategically behind them :-)

Re: why no glade module for python 3?

2021-02-01 Thread doug . lindquist
I just spent months updating the Griffith movie/dvd manager from python2 to 
python3.  the glade package was moved.  This is what you need now.

Folks,
  for years I've been using sbackup for doing my backups.  I've tried others 
and none come close to being as easy to use as sbackup.  Unfortunately there 
doesn't seem to be any further development occurring on it. It was written 
originally to work with python2 and I have managed to get it to work with 
python2 on FC31 and FC32.  However, with the removal of most of the necessary 
python2 packages from FC33 it no longer works.  So I tried to get it to run 
under python3, and the first problem I encountered is the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/simple-backup-config", line 30, in 
    import gtk.glade
ImportError: No module named glade

With python2 this module was located in

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/glade.so

from package

pygtk2-libglade-2.24.0-27.fc31.x86_64

This package does not exist in FC33 nor is there a corresponding package for 
FC33.  So why is there no glade.so module/package for python2 or python3?

Since there is no pygtk2-libglade in FC33 I tried to port it, but it fails if 
using with both python2 and python3 due to various errors, e.g. the following 
when using python3

  File "/usr/share/pygobject/2.0/codegen/codegen.py", line 429
    except argtypes.ArgTypeError, ex:
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make: *** [Makefile:1151: pango.c] Error 1


I don't want to try to port all the f31 python2 packages which are needed, I 
tried and it's a pain :(

Any help is appreciated.

There's some logic to it.  I found the opposite problem when I've

where the name gives no clue as to what it does.  And Gnome was just as
bad:

Evolution - does that sound like a mail program?  There was a game by
that name, about evolution.

Empathy - does that sound like an internet messaging program?

Brasero - does that sound like it might be a disc burning program?

At least some programs acknowledge the problem (both ways), and you'll
find them listed in the menus like "Pidgin Internet Messenger" or "VLC
media player."

Well, you're not alone. Several years ago, I loaned my adult son a 
laptop with PCLOS
and the KDE3 desktop, and he complained and bitched about the names that 
the icons
had--Dolphin, Okular, Thunderbird, K3b, Konqueror--and finally he gave 
the machine back
to me. He was completely turned off to Linux, and still is. Since I

You list XFCE in your sig. I use Xfce also. My main menu shows "Mail Reader" 
also, but that is just a link to the default mail program that I have selected. 
For me it is Evolution. Yours could be something else.

And note that "mail reader" does not mean that it reads it to you. It is the 
program you use to read mail.
