gluster is a distributed file system.  I wouldn't expect it to be 
installed by default and somehow there's a config file installed without 
the user being created.


What is the output of the following two commands?

rpm -qf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/gluster.conf

rpm -qa | grep gluster

Re: gthumb failing to show jpeg/gif/png thumbnails in browser window [SOLVED]

Apologies for the disruption.

In the Browser window along the bottom is a dropdown with the prefix 
"Show:"


Mine showed "All".

However, when I went to "Personalize" I saw that the "General Filter" was 
set for "Text Files." (Don't know how that happened). Setting it for "All 
Images" restored my usual configuration.


The confounding part was that in accessing this webpage:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/stable/gthumb-filtering.html.en

It indicates to go to "View->Filger," something which I couldn't find.

fyi,

Re: samba, deleting non-empty dir fails

2018-01-02 Thread Chris Murphy
OK I'm pretty sure this is either a gvfs-smb bug, or maybe even a
libsmbclient bug. And the reason why is because this problem doesn't
happen when I change the client to Windows 10, and macOS 10.13. The
target directory does delete in those two cases. Weird bug though.

samba, deleting non-empty dir fails

2018-01-02 Thread Chris Murphy
The gist is, whenever a directory has one or more files in it, it
can't be deleted. And it's pretty damn screwy that I can't figure this
out with a Google search.

F27 Server, F27 Workstation, i.e. Nautilus as well as smbclient

With Nautilus, I click on the target dir, click the delete button, I
get a dialog asking if I want it deleted permanently, and a red delete
button. I click the red delete button, the target dir vanishes but a.)
behind the scenes ssh'd into the server, the dir is still there b.) if
in Nautilus I click on a parent dir and then back to the containing
directory (refresh the directory that contains the directory I want
deleted) the target dir is still there.

When I do it with smbclient's rmdir command, no error. But it also
isn't deleted. No errors are logged on the server or the client.

I can do 'rm -rf' while logged in as the user (chris) who owns the
directory and the directory and contents are then deleted.

The target directory has the most permissive permissions I can imagine:

drwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris  266 Jan  2 16:06  test

The directory which contains this directory:

drwxrwx---. 1 chris smbusers 286 Jan  2 16:06 scratch

[chris@f27s scratch]$ ls -la test
total 16
drwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris  72 Jan  2 16:41 .
drwxrwx---. 1 chris smbusers  218 Jan  2 16:42 ..
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris  54 Nov 21 13:14 test1.txt
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 529 Dec 17 00:19 test2.txt
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 749 Dec 14 20:19 test3.txt
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris1399 Dec  5 16:50 test4.txt
[chris@f27s scratch]$


So no hidden files. And yes the mount point (and everything under it)
has samba_share_t:s0 so this is not an selinux problem (and there are
no AVC errors).

If I delete the test$.txt files, select all the delete, they really
delete. And now I can delete the empty directory.

Haha! What the hell?! Maybe it's a feature that users can create
directories and files but can't effectively recursively delete a whole
directory??

I honestly cannot wait for the OMFG moment on this...

Device or resource busy when trying to do a software update

2018-01-02 Thread Martin Wagner
Since some time back I can no longer do a software update using Gnome
Software (version 3.24.3) on my Fedora 26 desktop. Using 'yum update'
works fine. What happens is that when I hit the 'Restart & Update'
button the system is going down and there are some log messages that
flicker by really quickly. Then at bootup after unlocking the disk
there are again some log messages that flicker by quickly. What I
managed to see from the messages is the the phrase 'Device or resource
busy'. After that the system reboots and comes up normally but without
any software updates applied.

I'll attach the end of journald when the system is going down first
time. There are some error, but I don't know what to make of them...

My biggest concern is not really about software update, as yum update
works fine, but about doing a fedup to Fedora 27 at some point. That
would probably not work?

Re: XPS 13 (9360)

2018-01-02 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Yes, indeed, this is the so-called developer edition and tends to run about 
$100 cheaper than the one with the Windows tax. I got that four years ago and 
stripped off the Ubuntu and off we went. I am still pleased with this purchase 
(in June 2013).

I have been running Fedora since Fedora 19-20 on my trusty XPS13. Have been 
doing so for the past four and a half years, in fact this e-mail is written on 
that machine running F27. No problems at all. Same story for two of my students 
who bought their laptops two years ago upon seeing my positive experience 
(getting rid of their over-priced, useless and deceptive Macbook Airs in the 
process).

HTH!

Dell sells an XPS 13 with Ubuntu pre-installed [1] so you'd be better
off buying one of those models if they exist in Singapore (you might
need to enable rpm fusion for non-free stuff).

Re: autofs error : setautomntent: lookup(sss): setautomntent: No such file or directory

2018-01-02 Thread Tim
Allegedly, on or about 2 January 2018, Angelo Moreschini sent:
> I am trying with autofs, 

I'll preface my reply by saying although I use autofs, I use it for
automatic mounting of NFS shares.  In my case, my routine for getting
autofs to work is to:

0. su -
1. dnf install autofs
2. mkdir /net
   (this is the path I'll access my NFS servers through)
3. systemctl enable autofs
4. systemctl start autofs

I make no alterations to the autofs configuration files.
And, as far as I recall, that went off without any error messages.

So, my guess would be that you've asked it to do something, but there's
a step missing, or syntax error, in your configuration.  My first
suggestion would be to revert your config files to the original
condition, and see if autofs starts up without any error notices.  Then
do one modification at a time.

This (above) may be a problem.  The /media directory is used by an
automounting system in some desktops, without autofs.  You could be
clashing with it.  And I don't see entries with that syntax in my
default /etc/auto.misc and /etc/auto.master files.

Usually, when you plug in something like a USB drive, it'll appear as a
directory in /media, by itself, in the manner of:

 /media/

You don't need autofs for that.  And it can handle a few different
filing systems automatically, though there are probably some
prerequisites.

For sensible /media auto-mounting, perhaps even successful auto-
mounting, the partitions need to have volume names.  And giving
everything unique volume names certainly helps.

It may be necessary that the partition types match the filesystem 
(e.g. you can create an ext3 partition, but then format it as fat; your
partition type just set a default filesystem to use, it doesn't exclude
other types), but I suspect this isn't needed.

> I also created the partitions 
> PRTZ_programming ,  PRTZ_data-common  on the USB HD that I try to

> and  the mounting points :
> /media/BKx_data-common
> /media/BKx_programming

That ought to simply work without autofs (it does here).  Try leaving
autofs disabled, do not create any folders inside /media, and see what
happens when you connect your drive.  They should pop-up as folders
within /media, using their own partition names.

I do this all the time with USB drives, or camera memory cards,
formatted with EXT3, FAT, FAT32, & NTFS.

But you haven't said what desktop, if any, you are using.  If this is a
server with nobody logged into it, what worked for me, may not in that
circumstance.  My success with the /media directory has been using
Gnome or Mate desktops.

http://www.dell.com/sg/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?oc=w51785746sgw10&model_id=xps-13-9360-laptop

I wonder if device drivers available for this model.

Regards,

4.13.16-202 is running ok.

yumex-dnf shows two instances of the new kernel packages ??

nvidia 387.22


... 4.14.5-200.fc26 panics too for me.


A quick search didn't find other posts like this.  It happens very 
early and I don't know if anything is captured on disk.  On screen the 
most reader-friendly line is:


RIP: acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler

and acpi warnings have flashed up with earlier kernels.

HP core2duo box, 4GB memory, with a history of several Fedora version 
upgrades.


What else should I report?

A search for the RIP line gives

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1520265 from 2017-12-04

Also HP BIOS 786F2, mine is an earlier version, 1.04 1/31/2008


A BIOS update to v01.60 seems to have fixed this.  Details in the BZ.

Or simply wanting to shutdown the computer and leave the house in a
hurry.

I detest things which *STUPIDLY* prolong start-up and shut-down times. 
Things like man or locate database updating can be done in the
background when the system is running, and should be quickly and
cleanly interruptible (whether that be an abort, or making use of some
kind of resuming bookmark).

It changes the scaling of the rendering done by the graphics engine,
and affects anything that would render to an absolute size.

In other words, if you do any computer aided design, and want something
generated on screen at a specific size (such as graphics measured in mm
or inches, fonts at point sizes, page renderings at 100% actual size,
etc), you can't do it any more.  They'll be incorrectly sized.

What you (and many others) really need is a GUI where the GUI size
(icons, windows, etc) are user-adjustable in the same manner as you can
customise fonts.  I don't know if Fedora has one.

Fortunately, for me, whoever set up the GUI size seems to have to
picked one that is usable with the usual screen resolutions my monitors
support, excepting the annoyance of trying to find the invisible tiny
amount of space used to resize windows.  But for those with low or very
high resolution screens, not so lucky.
