Yes, for me it had been hplip.

I had tried rebuilding the rpm database but that didn't help.  clean all
did the trick.

Thanks for the suggestions.

No, I didn't.  Hmmm, it seems to have done the job.  Thank-you.

dnf is "broken"

[Kevin Cummings]

I last updated my laptop on 12/26.  It is running fc28.x86_64

Today I tried to run dnf update:

Is it Fedora 28?  dnf?  some dnf dependency?  or my laptop?  that is broken?

If you're using Thunderbird, then a simple control-U works wonders.  It
shows the email "source code" unmasking any HTML hiding the link.  This
is only useful if you can read/understand HTML.

Yes, it works for me too, but it is awkward to use.

I just replaced xorg-x11-drv-libinput with xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy
on my F26 system, and all is well with the world again (at least until I
upgrade to F27 later this summer).

Lost touchpad vertical scrolling after upgrading this laptop from F25->F26

[Kevin Cummings]

Hi Folks,
I just recently upgraded the F25 on this laptop (Dell Inspiron 1520) to
F26.  It mostly went well, except that I seem to have lost the ability
to use the vertical scrolling part of my touchpad.  I'm running the MATE
desktop, so the first thing I did was to check the mouse configuration
in System->Preferences->Mouse.  In the touchpad tab, I see that Vertical
Edge Scrolling is indeed checked, and un-checking it and re-checking it
does not bring the functionality back.  I can use two-fingered vertical
scrolling (it also is checked), but I am not an expert, and it seems to
have the side effect of backing up if I move my second finger down into
the horizontal scroll area of the touchpad when trying to do a large
vertical scroll.

A secondary problem to this is that if I move the mouse pointer into
the right side scroll bar, then click to grab it and move the pointer
vertically, it does scroll the window, but the pointer moves faster than
the scroll bar, and to go all the way (either way) often takes multiple
attempts.

Finally, if I place the mouse below (or above) the scroll bar, it does
not scroll by just one page, very often I put the pointer closer to the
top or bottom of the scroll bar area, and it scrolls all the way to the
top or bottom.  For this one, how can I get the old behavior back?

Me too.  But I use the kmods that RPMFusion puts out.  They do not very
often lag behind the new kernels, and most of the time they get updated
at the same time.  Furthermore, they don't "break" when a new version of
the driver gets released, because the new kmods get released at the same
time as the new drivers.  It is usually nVidia who lag behind the latest
kernels.  And the RPMFusion people then have to wait for nVidia to fix
it before they can.

Indeed.  I just find that use of the kmods is better for me.  YMMV

Right up until a kernel interface changes and you have to wait for a new

For a while now, /bin should be a link to /usr/bin.  is /usr/bin in the

You can always wrap it with a shell script which prints something, then
invokes the real dnf

That's a possibility.  I have a lot of problems with firefox,
thunderbird, and sometimes parts of the kernel occasionally aborting
because "something went wrong, restarting".

I had a different solution.  I went off site today (w/laptop) and things
worked well where I was.  When I got back home, I un-suspended the
laptop but forgot to plug it in.  After 2 hours, the battery discharged.
 After plugging back in, when I tried to reboot
(kernel-4.9.13-101.fc24), it hung twice trying to start the gui.  When I
rebooted with kernel-4.9.13-100.fc24, it came up, and the dnf update
succeeded!  Gee, now I have 4.9.17 kernel to try!  B^)

Are you sure that your atom processor has a Radeon video?  ISTR that
initially, some manufacturers were bundling the early Atoms with nVidia
processors, and lots of information was available from the MythTV folks.
 I just Googled Intel Atom, and one of the PDFs that Intel has published
talked about support for the Intel GMA500 graphics, which would imply
that you might have or need an Intel graphics driver.

Do you have a /dev/dvd device in your /dev directory?  And if so, is it
a symlink to /dev/sr0 (or just sr0)?  If you have no /dev/dvd, can you
create one:  ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd

One of my computers has a /dev/cdrom which is a symlink to /dev/sr0, but
none of my computers seem to have a /dev/dvd at all.

Can you override the /dev/dvd device in whatever software you are trying
to use to instead use /dev/sr0?

Can you login to your jumpbox, and copy the files from there?

something like

I'm not running KDE, but I do run a couple of KDE apps, and they bring
in an awful lot of KDE dependencies.  A whole bunch of kf5 rpms got
updated in the previous update yesterday, including, kf5-kdeclarative,
which was apparently built with a hard dependency of needing
qt5-qtbase-5.6.1, but the current update wants to update qt5-qtbase to
5.6.2 version.  Bad dependency, bad dependency!  Thanks for the pointer Ed!
I guess I'll just have to wait until Fedora gets around to fixing their
stuff.

man growisofs

the command I most often use is of the form:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=filename.iso

[replace /dev/dvd by whatever your burning device is named]

I believe this is the backend used by most of the GUI tools these days.

Can't suspend F23 due to mate-settings-daemon and mate-multiload-applet

[Kevin Cummings]

Have anyone else noticed this?

If I boot any of the recent 4.7 kernels, I can immediately suspend my
laptop without incident.  If I leave the system up for some reasonable
amount of time, then everytime I try to suspend, it fails.  journalctl
shows that 2 Mate daemons refuse to Freeze:

Here is just one exert from my journal:

Can anyone shed some light on this?  It continues through kernel 4.7.9.
(I have not yet booted 4.7.10.)

If I try and suspend, it fails, and restores the kernel to a fully
running state, usually on battery, and usually with the laptop fan
continuing to run, expelling heat into my laptop case if I don't notice it!

Don't know where you heard that little tidbit.  I can tell you that LVM
across multiple disks is terrible.  When you have a disk die suddenly,
all LVs which have PVs on that disk are unrecoverable, UNLESS you are
using a redundant raid partition.  When using redundant raid, and you
loose one disk, you can run in degraded mode until you replaced that
failed disk, then you can rebuild the missing portion from the redundant
part.  Redundant raid is all raids EXCEPT raid-0 which is just striping
of the data across multiple disks.  All other forms of raid (1, 3, 5, 6,
10) are able to survive a single disk failure and can rebuild when the
failed disk is replaced.  raid 6 can even survive 2 disk failures!).

Probably a more historical artifact these days, but it could come into
play if you are using a filesystem that grub2 cannot boot from.

Err, ah, sd=scsi disk.  A long time ago, the ATA drivers (and Serial ATA
driver) were re-written to use the same SCSI disk interface as SCSI
disks were using.  And, as it turns out, USB disks too.  Thus, we have
no more "hd" disks (where the "hd" stood for "hard disk").  Every disk
is an "sd" these days.

With YUM, you used to be able to put a line in your repo2.repo file like:

exclude=package

Not sure if this still works with DNF or not.

Re: Cleaning up after an aborted upgrade

[Kevin Cummings]

I had the same thing happen on an F22->F23 upgrade.  Essentially you have to 
figure out which F24 packages got installed, and remove them by hand.  

Then you can resume the upgrade.  Make sure the fedora-release-24 package is 
already installed before you continue!

That depends.  What do you have for a webcam?

according to "lsusb", I have a:

Near as I can tell, This uses the uvcvideo driver, as I have the

Yes they do, its just a severely limited version of the OS heavily

I guess it depends on whether you expect the screen to scroll in the

Could this be a side effect of touch screen scrolling?

I must concur with John.  Last December I installed
cnijfilter-mg5500series and cnijfilter-common, and I was able to print
to a wireless MG5520 a friend had just purchased.  I played a lot that
day trying to get it to work (wirelessly and on USB cable).  I initially
tried letting CUPS do the work, and that didn't quite work.  But
following the instructions on the Canon site got me to these two RPMs,
and things worked quite nicely after installing them.  Nothing to build
locally.  (Sorry, I can't remember where I got them from.  "yum list all
cnijfilter\*"  won't tell me anything other than installed, therefore I
probably got them directly from Canon.)

Maven is packaged by itself.  I'm not sure what you actually need, but I
have 15 packages installed on my laptop, starting with
maven-3.2.5-4.fc22.noarch.  You probably need some of the support rpms
as well.

Have you done a "dnf list maven\*"?

Re: Cannot Boot Fedora 23 live media on Lenovo C540

Just reading this now (sorry).

I'm adding the following:

http://kjchome.homeip.net/Fedora-Live-Desktop-i686-20
http://kjchome.homeip.net/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20

should be links to the images.  I got my images via BitTorrent so each
directory should contain both an ISO file and a CHECKSUM file

Let me know if you have any problems.

a hat.  Yes, the F21 Desktop-Live-Workstation images are substantially
larger (~1.4GB).  And you have lots of choice as to which F23 Live image
you want.

This is the GRUB menu.  You can choose which entry to boot, and also
edit the boot command lines before you select one.  So, if you need to
add or remove kernel options, select the line with your cursor, and hit
the "e" key  If you read the screens, they should be mostly self
explanatory.

One of the things to remove would be the "rhgb" options, and possibly
the "quiet" option as well (is that two options?)  Then you can see what
the startup is doing and you can then report back the last few messages
on the console or some errors that happen during the boot up

Another thing to try is to boot each Fedora Live image between FC20 and
FC23 to try and see where the failure starts.  Especially, if FC23
doesn't work, does FC22?

Re: OT: Upgradeing Windows 7 to 10 on a Dual Boot System?

I upgraded both my wife's and my mother's computers to W10 for them
(both were windows only machines).  As I recall, at the time, Microsoft
would "log" the update request, and feed the update to the computers
while they were running over a period of time (kings a long and slow
download to help spread the load on the Microsoft servers).  So,
essentially, you'd have to boot W7, and leave it running until Microsoft
gets around to downloading the update to the machine.  After that,
you'll get both an email and a notification that the upgrade is ready to
be run.  You can then spend 1-2 hours waiting for the installation to
complete.  Along the way, it will reboot 3-4 times, and it expects that
the reboot process will directly reboot windows to continue the upgrade.

Based on that, you might want to disable the dual boot, upgrade windows,
then re-enable the dual boot.  (At a bare minimum, you might be able to
change the Grub loader to default to Windows until the upgrade is
finished.)  This assumes that Windows updates work in your dual boot
scenario without any problems, so the Windows upgrade should as well.

Sorry, I run any Winows images in VMs on my Linux machines.  I don't do
dual boot anymore.  And Microsoft won't upgrade my XP images to W10.  B^)

If its an APC UPS, shouldn't you be using apcupsd instead of nut?  Its a
standard fedora package.  The last time I was running an APC UPS, I
installed it, made a few edits to the configuration file, and it just
worked.

And do that again, every time Adobe updates it.  No thanks.  Using the
RPMs from Adobe's repo is the easiest way to go.  That way yum update
(or dnf update) will take care of it for me.

Cables can be a problem.  Once upon a time I worked for a major
super-minicomputer manufacturer here in New England.  We were adding
X-Terminals to our office equipment.  They all ran on ethernet that was
then called "thick-net".  Most ran well, but, a select few had cabling
problems.  Most of the failures could be fixed by adding or removing 1
meter segments of the ethernet cabling.  Drove us nuts.  We finally got
the thicknet repeater manufacturer together with the X-terminal
manufacturer together.  Each blamed the other.  Turns out both were at
fault.  While the specification allows a 10% signal variance, both
implemented a +/- 5% from their own signal variance.  The result was
that one manufacturer was -6% off the base frequency and the other was
+6% off.  That resulted in a 12% variance, which sometimes changed
depending on how many cables were used between the devices.  What a pain
in the butt!  We were able to convince both of them to change their
implementations so that their equipment would inter-operate, regardless
of how many drop cables were used.

Ridiculous or not, its a reality in the hardware world.

My understanding of CPU throttling allows the CPUs to run at full speed
when they are busy, and to be throttled back when they are idle.

Are you sure that each CPU was engaged in doing work when you queried
their speeds?

It is designed to allow laptops to idle (and not generate as much heat)
when they don't have to.  It is *not* a permanent throttling back of the
CPUs denying you possible better computing speeds.  Instead it is
designed to have the CPUs (cores) generate less heat when they are not busy.

I have a CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor installed in a panel on my
laptop, and I can watch the CPU speeds change (increase and decrease)
with the workloads as processes come and go.

If it is a local package, why not install it with RPM.  It will complain
about the same missing dependency, but you should be able to override it
with --force (not that I would recommend that lightly, forcing any RPM
to be installed against dependency problems is just opening another can
of worms).  perl packages follow a specific naming convention in Fedora.
 it is usually perl-package-subpackage-etc

There *is* a perl-Chart.noarch package.  Does it contain the
dependencies you are looking for?

I don't see any perl-Math-GSL package in the Fedora repositories (that I
use), not in F22, nor in F21.  That begs the question, where did your
RPM come from?  and what does it need to reference the proper Fedora
dependency properly  I would complain to the package packager.  If
it comes from a non-redhat .src.rpm, then possibly the spec files needs
to be modified to work correctly with Fedora (and not just be blindly
re-built).

You probably need to find the (cpan) source for

 However if I press the tilde/back tick key I get a les than sign ()

 Anyone know how to enable the proper behavior for these keys?

Sounds like a misconfigured keyboard type.

Can you change the characters they send with xmodmap?

Firefox and flash-plugin on F20

[Kevin Cummings]

I have a strange happening.

On my F19.x86_64 home server, I have both firefox-34.0-1.fc19.x86_64 and
the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed.
About:plugins shows that it is the correct plugin, and all seems to work
as expected.

On my F20.x86_64 laptop, again, I have both firefox-38.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64
and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed.
 About:plugins however shows that version 11.2.202.466 is the current
installed version of the flash plugin being used by firefox.
A quick look at my systems shows that there are only 2 libflashplayer.so
files:

/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

And a quick check of both of them shows:

strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep 11.2.202
FlashPlayer_11_2_202_468_FlashPlayer
LNX 11,2,202,468
11.2.202.468
drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.468%s

So, if the file in the location that firefox about:plugins shows that it
is 11.2.202.468, then why does firefox say it is:

Shockwave Flash

File: libflashplayer.so
Path: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
Version: 11.2.202.466
State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

This is weird!

 The flash-plugin package was updated while Firefox was running, that
 sometimes make things go south.
 
 To fix the issue, quit Firefox then delete
 ~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE/pluginreg.dat, it'll be recreated when
 firefox is started the next time with the correct info about the
 plugin(s).

Indeed, that fixed it.  Thanks.  I was starting to pull what's left of
my hair out!

What about adding the:

I found this man page (which is *not* installed on my Fedora machines):

 Also, note that this option and the man page to which you refer is for

 As far as I know, input devices in Fedora are managed by the evdev

 Just for the record, I've also tried to replace (in the file above)

 As before, it doesn't work

 However, when I use rpmbuild, all builds appear to be running locally.

As I recall, distcc involves running distcc instead of gcc.  Do the RPM
builds somehow override which compiler get used to use the standard gcc
compiler instead of distcc?  Perhaps through an environment variable in
the build script?

 ps shows the maximum number of /usr/bin/distcc /usr/bin/g++ [options]
 processes running locally, that I but nothing gets distributed to other
 hosts.

 I've got %_smp_mflags set correctly to the number of build jobs that can
 run in parallel, to the sum total of jobs that can be distributed via
 /etc/distcc/hosts. Counting the number of distcc processes, I see that
 the right number of jobs have started, but only the local build jobs are
 running, and nothing gets distributed.

 There must me something in the environment that's doing this, because
 when I make the build myself, it works correctly.

What's the benefit of *any* update?  Whenever they happen, the software
gets updated, so that when it gets used, the latest copy is used.
Whether or not the update is a security update, or a functionality
update, the Fedora mindset is to update your software regularly from the
updates channel.  If/when a new fedup becomes available, it will be
installed on the user's machine.

 Apparently this is, however, a moot point, as Will Woods, the fedup
 developer, just announced that it's going away. :)

And what will be the approved replacement?  fedora-upgrade?  The same
should apply to that.  Whatever the approved upgrade utility is, it
should already be installed on everyones machine (at least at the time
of initial installation), so that it is available (and up-to-date) when
the user needs to use it.

You can argue that not every user will use it.  I can understand that
argument, but it doesn't hurt them to have it installed, and it helps
those of us who will want to use it.  It should be a part of the base
system.

 Why isn't fedup shipped by default in all Fedora installs?
 
 When it's time to upgrade, you want to make sure to have the latest
 version anyway. Why ship it when it, by definition, won't be used for
 the life of that installation?

OK, let me get this straight.  You don't originally get it.  When it
comes time to use it, its not there.  The user must now install it.  The
user then uses it to upgrade to the next release.  Now, it is there.  It
gets updated during the course of the use of the next release.  Now,
when it is time to go to the *next* new release, it is there and already
updated from any/all updates performed just prior to the 2nd upgrade.

Seems like silly reasoning to me.  Why not just install it, so that it
gets updated during the normal lifetime of that release, so that when it
comes time to upgrade to the next release, it is already there and updated?

Note that the timestamp has reset to 0.0something in the working
version.  This should have corresponded to the reboot into the new F22
kernel.  It did not happen, and you claim you are still running the F21
kernel.  Check to see if the F22 packages are installed, and if there is
an F22 kernel in your grub menu.

 Is there a way to do it manually?

The way to do it manually (actually depends on how much actually got
installed) is to do it via yum (dnf?):

yum install --releasever=22 fedora-release
yum update

[disclaimer, I have not updated any of my machines to 22 yet.
 My primary home server runs F19, my laptop runs F20, and I have an old
 old test system running F21.]

print is a function in python.  Its arguments must appear inside ()'s,

No, just for the kernels that break it  Then you have to wait for
nVidia to fix what's broken, and then for the kmod people to incorporate
the fix, and them for the new akmod which can then build a new (working)
kernel module again.  Been there, done that, went back to regular kmods.

 akmods, that does the actual work, with akmod-nvidia providing the

 Hi all,
 
 What is the best way in Fedora to handle the following situation?
 
 - Package X depends on package Y
 - Package Y is actually installed through custom compiling it (in
 $HOME/bin)
 - Doing:
 
 yum install X
 
 will want to install Y
 
 Specifically in my case X is kdenlive and Y is ffmpeg.
 
 I compiled ffmpeg manually to have jack audio [1] support by following
 the guide on the ffmpeg website [2]. This means ffmpeg is in
 ~/bin/ffmpeg (also in my PATH). Before doing this I removed (with yum)
 ffmpeg. Now if I try to:
 
 yum install kdenlive
 
 it will want to install ffmpeg.
 
 Any suggestions, ideas, pointers are welcome.

Download the srpm for Y.  Substitute your configuration/code/options for
the srpm's versions.  Build a new, local version of the RPM.  Use your
RPM instead of the one in the repos.  Make sure that your version is
always  the versions in the repos.  (ie, whenever a new version hits
the repos, update/build your version again.)

 Thanks
 Lorenzo.

 the jack development files)

 Thus far, I can only remember finding Firefox to foul up if you try to
 keep using it when an update has been installed.  Obviously you need to
 fully quit and restart it to use the new version, but not so obvious is
 that it doesn't always fully quit when you think it should have.

I'm pretty sure that Thunderbird suffers from the same affliction,
though maybe not as severely.

 If you find a reliable race-free way of working out which packages can

 that relies on just looking at what binary links a certain shared
 library will be referred to the D-Bus homepage.
 
 So why does Fedora provide a command called needs-updating?

needs-restarting?

 Yes.  It's part of yum-utils and will give you a list of every program
 (except the kernel) that needs to be restarted because of an update.  starting
 will throw a large number of spurious errors about not being able to
 examine parts of /proc if run as a regular user, but still give the
 right answers.  Much simpler to run it as root.

Yes, I know that.  *My* response was to another user's question of why
Fedora has a needs-updating program (which you removed), which I could
not find, but I *did* find a needs-restarting program

 I think this is the key.  What is the point of -j6 or -j8 if the make
 can't spawn additional processes with their own limits, and thus take
 advantage of more resources that are available?  What is it that limits
 a process and its children from using more resources than a single core,
 even though they are available?

We're thinking in terms of one machine with multiple cores here.  What
about an environment with multiple machines (each possibly with multiple
cores).  Now you have *many* more possibilities of where to run compiles
with -j.  Consider (for example) distcc.  It can be configured to run
build components on different machines (configurable per machine as to
how many).  So now, the -j 10 or -j 20 has more possibilities for
distributing the load during the make.

 Hello,
 
 I get:
 Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
 
 How can I manage this issue?

Buy a new disk drive?  Seriously, pending sectors are disk write errors
and the disk has run out of extra blocks to write/re-map them to.  The
error occurs later when you later attempt to read from them.  It is a
sign that the disk is is on its way out.

 Description
 
 Current Pending Sector Count S.M.A.R.T. parameter is a critical parameter and 
 indicates the current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping). The 
 raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of sectors waiting for 
 remapping. Later, when some of these sectors are read successfully, the value 
 is decreased. If errors still occur when reading some sector, the hard drive 
 will try to restore the data, transfer it to the reserved disk area (spare 
 area) and mark this sector as remapped.
 
 Please also consult your machines's or hard disks documentation.
 Recommendations
 
 This is a critical parameter. Degradation of this parameter may indicate 
 imminent drive failure. Urgent data backup and hardware replacement is 
 recommended.

Good Luck!

 Thank.

Well, what do you know, java got bundled into last night's upgrade along

 This was a problem fixed in glibc 2.18, so that version, as shipped in
 F20, and 2.20, as we have in F21, are not vulnerable. If you are
 running F19 or earlier, you should update.

I installed the F20 glibc on my F19 system.  The ghosttest.c test
program now shows my F19 as no longer vulnerable.

# yum --releasever=20 update glibc

YMMV

 If you're running (a supported version of) a different Linux
 distribution with an old version, patches are likely available.

 In your case this error does not seem to depend on your code.

Correct.  I was assuming that something was wrong at the system level.
Verified by the fact that after downgrading, everything started working
again.  Sounds like a bug to me.  I was wondering if anyone else saw the
same thing?

 So, I can suggest you to useOracle JDK instead OpenJDK,this because I
 had some problems using NetBeans and then I got that suggestion, that
 helped me.

!?!?!?!?

Note the solution I'm looking for.  If this is a bug in the openjdk
packages, I want to help then figure it out and fix it.

 Hi,

 Other option is you have other Java installations besides the
 Fedora-provided OpenJDK and you PATH or CLASSPATH have entries for
 different installations. This happen a lot when you have both GCJ and
 OpenJDK or Oracle Java and OpenJDK. Maybe you left your browser install
 Java (from Oracle) instead of configuring the Fedora-provided Java plugin.
 
 Check which java, javac and etc are configured using alternatives and
 check you env vars. Make sure you are using commands, jars and libraries
 from the same installation.

Interesting suggestion.  I did note that I have been having
alternative warnings during previous updates of java openjdk, but
things were working properly.  What other packages might conflict?  How
do I check that the alternatives are set correctly?

 Use rpm --verify to check for corruption before just blindly removing
 and reinstalling packages.

If I upgrade again, and it fails, I will check this.  Thanks.

Define webcam.  My old Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop uses its builtin

Latest Java-openjdk upgrade

[Kevin Cummings]

I updated to java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.2.fc20 today
(along with the java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless and java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
packages).  After the upgrade, nothing java related would run.  (not the
compiler, not the jar command, and I couldn't run any pre-built .jars.)
 The error was:

 Error occurred during initialization of VM
 java/lang/ClassFormatError: Unknown constant tag 99 in class file 
 java/lang/Class

Downgrading back to java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20 et
al fixed the problem.

You might have to remove using mirrors and access the baseurl directly,
or, you might have to fix the pathnames if Fedora has moved the old
directories.  I'm fairly certain that they still exist online (they are
no longer getting updates, but they should be complete as to the last
set of updates).

When I tried to visit the F14 directories, I found the following:

 ATTENTION

 The contents of this directory have been moved to our archives available at:
 
 http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/
 
 If you are having troubles finding something there please stop by 
 #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net

I was able to access the directory trees at the new location, so you
probably have to update the URLs for your repositories.

Because I did not install it, I can't tell you if it creates a

there.  It usually runs as a part of xinetd, but it *can* be configured
to run without it.

 Besides the basic instructions to start the server, I know I have to
 open the udp port in firewalld.  But I want to know what directory it is

/etc/services lists 69 as the usual tftp port.  It also mentions 1818

Re: Suggestions for Poor ext4 performance questions

[Kevin Cummings]

Please don't reply personally.  Please reply to the list.  You posted
your original question to the list, and for the sake of a possible few
others who are following this thread, it is good to keep all replies on
the list.

 Kevin,
 
 Thank you for your response.
 
 I have two 4TB file systems and one 6TB filesystem, all ext4 with Journaling 
 enabled. I suspect that as the filesystems becomes inactive, their pages 
 (buffer cache?) in memory are trundled back to disk and then the pages marked 
 as unreferenced. A new access causes this data to be re-read into memory 
 again with a subsequent re-purchase of free memory, hence the delay with the 
 new access. I can not prove this though. I'm sure I'm not stating this 
 correctly but, my hypothesis is that since this is a demand paged system, 
 other activity eventually causes these unreferenced pages to be stolen. 
 System memory is at 8G now. I've been considering upgrading to 16G but the 
 expense is something I'd like to avoid if possible. I was looking for a 
 kernel parameter to tweak which might affect this behavior. I could be 
 totally wrong of course.

This is information that should have been sent in your original request
for help.  You don't want to tune the file-system, you want to tune the
system's use of the paging of the file system.  It helps to be clear so
you don't go running down unnecessary tangents.

What I can suggest is that you look into a kernel parameter known as
swappiness.  It can help determine when pages are paged back to disk.
 In your case, you want to keep them in memory (disk cache) for as long
as possible before they get written out to disk.  swappiness can help
control that.  For more information google linux swappiness.  It even
has its own Wikipedia page

 Regards and THANKS for your help/time,
 
 George...

The suggestion was correctly threaded with your original mail here.

It should also be spot on.  ext4 is an extension of ext3 which is an
extension of ext2 (which is an extension of ext).  tune2fs is the
ext2/3/4 file system tuning program.  What exactly are you looking to do
