I have the following in a timer to run a prune of my backup at 6 AM Mondays:

OnCalendar=Mon *-*-* 06:00:00

So if you wanted to have a timer run daily at 1am, you could use

OnCalendar=* *-*-* 01:00:00

(If you're fine with it running at midnight, you can use OnCalendar=daily)

A more detailed discussion is at

Admin-installed units go in /etc/systemd/system . I believe anything
you define there will override what ships in /usr/lib/systemd although
I haven't verified that myself.

In this case, filing an issue with the KDE SIG is probably the best approach:

In general, the groups are defined by fedora-comps. You can submit an

The test list isn't the right venue. Chris Adams opened an issue with

That's a reasonable explanation. The last time I tried setting my
shell to fish (which was a few releases ago now), I recall that it
broke some things that I cared about (certain autostart scripts, for
example), but was at least basically functional. What I've done is to
set fish as the default shell in Konsole.

I suggest filing an issue with the KDE SIG:
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/new_issue

I imagine it's something that will need to be fixed upstream, but
they'll be the folks who can help coordinate that.

Well, once the build failures[1] are fixed.

In addition to fixing the typo, I also de-indented the "Supported

Re: batch

Patrick,

I've never run SGE on Fedora Linux, but in theory you can. It depends
on what you mean by SGE—Open Grid Scheduler[1] took the open source
Sun Grid Engine code, but it seems pretty dead upstream. Univa Grid
Engine[2] is still actively maintained, although I'm not sure what
free options they have these days.

One alternative is HTCondor[3], which is developed by the University
of Wisconsin and licensed under the Apache Software License v2.0. It's
available in the official Fedora repos as the `condor` package.

RPM Fusion maintains their own Bugzilla instance for bug reports:

They also have a CommonBugs page, but your specific issue doesn't

From the thread on the devel list[1], it seems that the issue may be
that Ireland switched to summer time at 0100, which is also when the
timer is set to run. Most jurisdictions change at 0200, so that may be
why it's not more widespread (since most of the Americas changed a
week ago).

As a former docs team lead (many years ago), I can tell you that it
takes a _lot_ of effort to not only write documentation, but audit it
for each release. I would say it's more likely that whatever docs
you're referring to were accurate when written and either behavior has
changed since or there's something different about your setup compared
to what was used to write the docs. Fedora's documentation is mostly
written by a small team of contributors, so it gets less effort than
I'd like. I'm sure the team would welcome your contributions, whether
they be small fixes or large additions.

Add a mkdir in your %post. For example:

 %post
mkdir -p /etc/sddm.conf.d/
cat < /etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf
[Autologin]
User=live-user

(I'm assuming your config would work once the directory exists. This
at least fixes the post error in your kickstart)

That looks like the issue. For compatibility, a single argument is
treated as the kickstart file:
https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/blob/master/tools/livecd-creator#L124

Since Fedora Custom isn't quoted, livecd-creator is looking for a
kickstart file named 'Custom', which doesn't exist. I opened a pull
request that makes the error messages more clear:
https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/pull/175

Also, I don't think quoting the label will work in this case. You'll
need to remove the space or replace it with a hyphen or underscore.
Otherwise, you'll hit the "CD labels cannot contain spaces." error

Spins are Fedora variants with different desktop environments. For

instead of GNOME.

There are also "labs", which are Fedora variants targeted at use cases
(for example, computational neuroscience) at labs.fedoraproject.org.

It looks like what happened is that the upstream project removed that

submitted for Fedora 32, but now that it's in the wild, I've opened a

It should get it from this file, which appears to be correct:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/blob/master/f/roles/pkgdb-proxy/files/pkgdb-gnome-software-collections.json#_22

What's the output of:
gsettings get org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease

If it's not "false", then you can run the following to reset it and
only get notified of GA releases:
   gsettings reset org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease

If it's "false" already then it may be a bug in gnome-software or
somewhere else. Let me know how it goes and I'll get it passed along
to the right people if it's still not working as expected.

Exactly. And growing the contributor community is how we can solve that problem.

I see "PulseAudio" as an option in the GUI, so I don't really have a
good answer. You can try filing a bug against the audacity component
to start with. The nice thing about bugs is they can be reassigned to
another component. (In a dream world of unlimited resources, we'd
never ask users to select a component and there would be a team of
people who would handle all of that on behalf of users. Alas!)

I understand the frustration. My bugs get closed EOL, too. For what
it's worth, 3633 bugs were closed EOL for Fedora 30. This is
considerably lower than Fedora 29 (4958) and Fedora 28 (4681).

The logistics[1], devel-announce[2], and test-announce[3], all get
announcements of Go/No-Go decision. I also publish a weekly post on
the Community Blog[4] with high-level updates, although I didn't
explicitly note the No-Go decision this time.

To provide some more context for the dates, when we build the schedule
we have two release dates for each milestone:
1. "Preferred target date": this is what we hope to hit, but it's a stretch goal
2. "Target date #1": this is one week after the "preferred target" and
is the date that we plan around. If we hit this, we still consider the
release "on-time".

The last sentence of this reply would have been sufficient on its own.
The remainder is unnecessary and un-Friend-ly.

Let's focus future replies on helping our community members learn in

Based on that output, I am not surprised that resetting the password
didn't work. Notice that it's saying permission is denied for
/bin/bash. When you log in as root, are the permissions on /bin/bash
correct? It should be 755:

[1036 bcotton@fpgm ~ ]$ ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2187664 May 13 08:18 /bin/bash
[1037 bcotton@fpgm ~ ]$

If not, that's the immediate problem. You can check for other files
with incorrect attributes with the `rpm -Va` command. (See the rpm man
page for more about verification)

There's be a cleaner way to do it, but you may be able to do something
like this:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail -d $((600 + RANDOM % 1800))

(Or wrap your fetchmail call in a script if systemd doesn't like
that). It won't be a predictable delay, but it should spread the load
around well enough for your purposes.

Re: What to do instead of using rc.local?

2019-07-10 Thread Ben Cotton
Tim,

You might try created a systemd service for it instead. E.g.

#
[Unit]
Description=Get email

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900
#

Save the above to `/usr/lib/systemd/system/fetchmail@.service`. You
can then use `systemctl  fetchmail@tim.service` to manage it
for the tim account, and similarly for any other accounts on the
system. I use something very close to this to start my SpiderOak
backup in headless mode at boot. More details at:
https://github.com/funnelfiasco/spideroak-init

Re: Fedora 30 voting is now open

The impact seems to be fairly small, if it exists at all. The number
of voters for F30 was down a little bit from F29, but there were also
fewer candidates (the Council election, in particular, was
uncontested). Regular announcements and reminders were sent on the
council-discuss, devel/devel-announce, and mindshare mailing lists,
and the Community Blog post was "sticky" for the duration of the
voting period. I suspect — though I have no way of confirming — that
the number of people who would vote and only subscribe to the announce
list is relatively small. Of course, that doesn't mean they shouldn't
have the opportunity to vote. As Kevin said, we've taken steps to
prevent this from happening in future elections.

I encourage everyone who has in an interest in the internal workings
of the community to follow the Community Blog[1]. In addition to
announcements of elections, we also publish proposed changes to
council policies, technical and process posts from teams and
contributors, and a weekly summary of change proposals/schedule/etc.
The Community Blog is a low traffic (generally 1 or fewer posts per
day) way to keep up with Fedora. If you have feedback on the Community
Blog, we'd be happy to hear from you on Discussion[2].

As a long-time Fedora contributor, I understand how important the
elections are to making sure the community is well-represented. If you
ever have questions or concerns, I'm happy to discuss them with you
on- or off-list, or in the weekly FPgM office hours on IRC[3].
