I agree that the existing python2 plugins don't work. For example DeDRM
6.8.1 errors out with python 2 print statement instead of the python3
print() statement.
The DeDRM built for python3 fails to install on Calibre 4.23 with an error
that the plugin requires  a version of Calibrer >= 5.0.0.

I'll give Calibre 5.0.0 a try as suggested by Patrick O'Callaghan.

Thanks,
Clifford

It'd be useful to know if this is some kind of database, if it's one
big file or many, if it's doing insertions (typical with database) or
append. It might just be busy and will settle itself out once it's
done downloading. And even maybe know what the program is. And I can
ask folks on #btrfs.

Btrfs does quite a lot of delayed allocation so you might see higher
IO wait than you're used to, but as a side effect it turns random
writes into sequential writes which write and read faster and have
less fragmentation. So it's overall better. But the system being
sluggish makes me wonder if something else is competing for IO with
this task and what that process's write pattern is too. It could be
lock contention, the easy way to alleviate that is give one of the
tasks its own subvolume.

I'm assuming this problem is all over by now but if you can reproduce
it the first thing to look at is sysrq+t
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Sysrq

that likely fills the dmesg buffer, but 'journalctl -k --no-hostname
-o short-monotonic > dmesg.txt` will do it and then you can upload
that file somewhere and I'll bug someone about it :P if no one on here
knows how to read sysrq+t (i'm not great at it unless it's really
obvious).

Ideally have the sysrq+t ready to just hit enter. When the
sluggishness happens, hit return.

If that's all normal we might have to get into bcc-tools or something.

Your message indicated a sequence of errors that look like write

your btrfs, "multiple writes from one commit are missing"


With all respect due to Carlos E. R., given that you were seeing read

perhaps the conclusion that your hardware is OK was premature.  You 
should remain open the possibility that there is something wrong with 
one piece of hardware or another, particularly as you continue to gather

-x has more information that might be relevant including firmware
revision and some additional logs for recent drive reported errors
which usually are benign. But might be clues.

These two attributes I'm not familiar with
187 Reported_Uncorrect  0x0032   100   096   000Old_age
Always   -   4294967301
188 Command_Timeout 0x0032   100   100   000Old_age
Always   -   98785820672

But the value is well above threshold for both so I'm not worried about it.

No problem!

We should talk about a backup plan in another thread :D In my own
case, I never need them, but I have 1/2 dozen completely independent
backups, because I hate my data and I'm constantly trying to destroy
it. (This is turning into a really bad joke but hopefully it's weirdly
amusing. If you like your data you *definitely* should be backing up!
Doesn't matter what the file system is, or if it's on raid, or "safe"
in the cloud, etc.)

Forwarded this to Btrfs dev, so we'll just have to be patient.

I strongly suggest some kind of backup of the data, and confirm it's
good. Since you were stressed about maybe losing it? Even two copies!
Not anything because it's Btrfs but because it's important to you. Bad
things happen all the time that have nothing to do with the file
system.

Because of the --init-csum-tree failure i'm a bit concerned that it's
possible the --repair step didn't completely repair things. So... just
keep important things backed up. Top priority. If you told me you hate
your data then I wouldn't worry about it.


> Let me know the next steps ie. Do you need BTRFS logs to diagnose the

Not sure. I've asked. If there's a request to, we'll run it through
gdb and see what happens.

Can you tell me what you get for:

free -m
btrfs fi us /

It'll give an idea what the memory requirement is for the
init-csum-tree. It really should not be a lot, it's less complicated
than the repair by a lot. Glad that worked though, phew!

Not to worry! I read that bcachefs is finally making it into

This is an interesting data point. I will incorporate it. In the
meantime, we really need to stay focused on facts and not jump to
conclusions.

We can evaluate whether you stick with Btrfs, pros/cons. Bugs like
this are really slippery. The #1 reason they don't get caught and set
free, is tester exhaustion. This is a reasonable outcome. People have
better things to do than debug stuff. But it's sometimes a necessary
effort because we really are at significant confidence in Btrfs
stability equivalent to other file systems, even though we're aware of
its fragility in certain bad failure cases like this one. The only way
it gets better is to persevere.

You have to copy the file. I've just done something analogous with a
large VM image, following Chris Murphy's helpful suggestion. See the
recent thread on "Compression on Btrfs" (though the method has nothing
to do with compression as such).

If your file is Blockchain and lives in /some/path:

1) chattr +C /some/path ('lsattr -ld /some/path' to check)
2) cp Blockchain Blockchain.new (in my case I had to copy to another
device and back again owing to the size of the file).
3) rm Blockchain
4) mv Blockchain.new Blockchain

There may be a slicker way to do it but this does work.

The one device has a partition table and at least that one partition. The
other one just uses the whole block device without partitioning. You can do
this with any USB stick as well.

With 8 GB the Pi4 finally has enough memory to be a fairly satisfactory

Yes, and no. 

4.23.0 is in f33, but it is using python3, not python2. 

Fedora moved calibre to python3 much sooner than upstream did because
python2 was being phased out in fedora. Unfortunately, we can't upgrade
to 5.x due to some dependencies in other packages not being ready yet.
;(

With the python3 plugin it should work I would think...

I hope I do not misunderstand your requirements. You need not set up a system 
user to allow mail usage. You just create all your mail users in dovecot 
(/etc/dovecot/users) using doveadm and configure postfix to authenticate 
against dovecot (virtual mailboxes in postfix speech). The mail ist stored at 
e.g. /home/vmail// and everything is managed by dovecot (vmail 
being the dovecot process owner).

Yes, why /proc//root" points to the root directory (/) ?
There is a ton of these links.

If memory serves, you can specify that the user isn't able to log in; I 
think the option is nologin.  If not, you can always specify logout as 
the user's shell.  Or, if you want to allow the user's to change their 
password but nothing else, specify passwd as the shell.  I know how well 
that works, as I once had an email account on a unix box that was set up 
like that.

btrfs: What to do with large growing files?

2021-01-11 Thread Richard Shaw
So from what I understand once a file is >0 that you can't set nodatacow.

I'm playing around with cryptocurrency and the current one downloads the
whole blockchain and it's at 65GB and growing. I think the growing part is
the problem. That and it's being stored on /home which is a spinning disk
not an SSD like the system disk.

I'm seeing a lot of IO wait in glances and the system is sluggish even
though CPU and memory usage is relatively low.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Richard

For me giving up was not an option since that would involve me losing
all my data.

Thank you again for your time and patience, others would have told me
to reinstall my OS or restore my backups.

Ok, I finally have some good news and some minor bad news hopefully.

Good news first.

It worked, I can now mount my BTRFS root file system:

# mount -t btrfs /dev/mapper/dm_crypt /mnt/
# ll /mnt
# total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   0 Jan 12 00:00 before_live_cd_exp

dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 178 Dec 14 14:58 stable_15_Dec
drw---. 1 root root  22 Dec 11 20:05 swap


Now to give you the output of the commands and the minor bad news:

1)   btrfs check --repair /dev/mapper/dm_crypt

This command actually executed and exited normally, but I could
see some errors at the end of the command.

Full output of repair command over here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17EQ5TYJE5a4iwRGTXXj9Hh38btxFBLAJ/view?usp=sharing

2)  btrfs check --init-csum-tree /dev/mapper/dm_crypt

   This is where the minor bad news happens.

   This command exited with a "Segmentation Fault(Core Dumped)"

   Full output here:
   
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IYnLcw-vkZ2UeH0rOZje4kbhzB_tYaKy/view?usp=sharing

   I have my core dumps set to unlimited:

   # ulimit -a
core file size  (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size   (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size   (blocks, -f) unlimited

virtual memory  (kbytes, -v) unlimited

But still I was unable to get coredump file as it was not generated:

# coredumpctl list btrfs
TIMEPID   UID   GID SIG COREFILE  EXE
Mon 2021-01-11 22:58:18 IST4337 0 0  11 none  /usr/sbin/btrfs

Which is weird.

All the outputs are compressed using GZIP, let me know if you are
unable to download them. The repair command was run before the
init-csum-tree command.

I have also used your enhanced version of btrfs-progs that you provided:

# dnf repoquery --installed btrfs-progs
btrfs-progs-0:5.9+git20210108.3783313-0.fc33.1.x86_64

Let me know the next steps ie. Do you need BTRFS logs to diagnose the
root cause of the problem ?

Thank you once again for your help and perseverance. Couldn't have
done it without you.

Yes. Give them a shell which is not listed in the file `/etc/shells`. There
is a binary `/sbin/nologin` which is traditionally used for this purpose.

   sudo usermod -s /sbin/nologin username
.

If you need something more sophisticated than that, you should look at the
PAM authentication stack -- it is possible to configure pretty much any
service so that only users in certain groups are allowed, for example.

I beg to differ.

I never faced problems like this when I was on "thick/older" LVM with EXT4.

It is only when I switched to thin-pools and then to BTRFS that I
started getting these problems.

Is it possible to create an email-only user in fedora linux?

2021-01-11 Thread Bill Oliver
So, I am setting up some forum software on a VPS server I have rented
and would like to invite users to have access to the forum *and* an
email account, but nothing else.

I have dovecot set up, and make roundcube available as the web-based
mail client.

The only thing I know to do is to add them as a user, which basically
gives them a shell, and I'm not enthusiastic about that.

The only thing I know about is putting in a bashrc that limits their
PATH to their own /home//bin file for executables, and then
adding only the executables I want them to have.  So, I guess I could
do that, and just put nothing in the /home//bin file.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

Probably worth following htis thread:

I'm currently running the 4GB variant of the Raspberry Pi 4 with the
stock aarch64 image, installed with 'fedora-arm-image-installer
--target=rpi4 '.  It doesn't have all the features but as a

It seems very likely -- either with the drive, or a cable, or the
controller, or some other aspect of your system. You're getting serious

Re: microphone

2021-01-11 Thread Robert
If you look closely at the male plugin on your Combo Headset, it has one 
more separator ring and hence four separate (electrically that is) metal 
contacts.  Pure headphones only have three.  I found this out only 
recently when I tried to extend my combo headset with a regular 3.5mm 
cable, it didn't work.  That is your issue ...

xpdf

2021-01-11 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

When I load xpdf (as a standard user), I get:
"/proc/19969/root"
or
"/proc/20111/root"

I can open the file but, I get this message every time now.

What is wrong?

Thanks

HandBrake & "Additional Fonts Required"

2021-01-11 Thread Jorge Fábregas
Hi,

I'm in  F33 and every time I open "HandBrake" I get a an "Additional
Fonts Required" pop-up in the top bar.  I even tried opening it thru the
terminal with "gdb -x" but I don't see anything related to fonts in the
output.

The fonts aren't available and the requested ones are ""Divehi;Dhiveh;
Maldivian" (have no idea why is requesting such fonts).

Does anyone knows how can I get rid of this?

Thanks,
Jorge

There are two completely incompatible ways that a 4 pole 3.5 mm TRRS
jack can be used to carry combined headphone and microphone wiring.

Starting from the tip end it could be:

left, right, common ground, microphone (CTIA/Apple/most Android)

Or:

left, right, microphone, common ground (OMTP/Nokia/some Android/Sony)

Headsets with the opposite type needed for the socket might actually
get working audio in the earpieces, but not the microphone.

Since you're using an adaptor lead, you may have the opposite kind from
what you need.  If you can work out which one you have, try getting the
opposite.  If you can't work out what you have, you have two choices: 
Get someone else to determine it, or buy a pair of new adaptor leads
(one of each type).  But I'd suggest you try taking what you already
have (headset and and adaptors) to a mobile phone shop, or computer
shop, and see if they can help you.

You can get some nice USB headsets that simply come with a USB plug
on the end, ready to go.  It works well here.

But the repair has been running for over 3 hours now.

Have you gone through the numbered list and tried to repair? It is
important you install specifically the btrfs-progs in that email. It has an

Usually when there's only one plug, it's a 4-pin jack.  In order to use 
a microphone, you either need to have a headset or a splitter cable. 
That's the only way that you will get the microphone signal to the right

microphone

2021-01-11 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

I have a Dell Optiplex 7060
There is only one jack sound plug.
Dell says that I can use it as input or output.
Head phone works perfectly.
If I put a microphone, it is not recognized
I checked that the Audio input/output are enable.

Why?

Do I need to install something else?
