Had to add the below line to my sshd.conf file and works now.

PermitRootLogin yes

Guess it changed or got removed when I did the upgrade (upgraded via
dnf, not a clean install), but added that line and it works now.

SSH after upgrade

[Mike Chambers]

Upgraded server from Fedora 30 to 31 (updated to present), and ssh into
that server works fine as normal user, but no longer lets me login as
root.  I can login as root from the server machine itself, and can
login via su - but just cant' from ssh.

Any ideas what changed or got replaced so revert it back?

Thanks,

Mike

Do you have to use their modems?  I have been on ATT, charter, and now
spectrum (all same thing just diff business bought them out), and I've
been using my own model for years now, and I don't have to pay a
monthly fee.  I just called and gave them my info from the modem and
off I went.  It's a stand alone modem and I have a linksys router
behind it.

At one time, I also had a home telephone that used a modem/router setup
as well.  I just told them to turn off the WIFI and/or modem part as I
didn't need it, and they only left on what was needed for the phone and
that was it.

Not sure if helps but hopefully gives you an idea,

The fix was 1 things..

1 - mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

2 - chmod 0600 /var/mail/*

Then I finally started getting my email.  Thought there was a
permissions issue but couldn't nail it down until I started checking
more maillogs in more detail.

Works now though, but thanks.

Dovecot

[Mike Chambers]

Had to reinstall my server using Fedora 29, and configuring local mail,
via dovecot, I forget where to set the mail_location path to? ~/Maildir
doesn't give off errors, but I seem to currently not get any mail.  I
thought /var/mail/ was the main root mail dir for users but I can't get
dovecot not to error pointing to it, such as /var/mail/%u or whatever.

I should of just tried to download/install that package to begin with, but 
didn't think it would work.  I got one that was from Fedora 27 but it installed 
with no issues, then epylog installed as well.

Thanks for the advice.

Got it rebuilt, but it still fails to install per same dependency. 
Already filed a bug before hand.

Epylog won't install on F29, think due to not being included/built for
it, anyway it has a dep that I think has deprecated as well.

Soo, what other programs do the same sort of thing, that are automated
to work with cron like epylog does?

If he was fully updated, up to the point of the time/date he ran the
update, and he didn't have any (or at least not that he noticed) KDE
programs before, then why now all of a sudden?  Did they get installed
prior due to dependencies and he didn't realize it?  Or did something
in the latest update change and called the programs in?

Try disabling selinux and see if it works?  If it does, then that's the 
problem, if not, least you eliminated one aspect.

Also, what about your kernel?  Did you boot into an updated/different one than 
last time it worked?  What about booting into an older kernel and see if that 
helps?

I dont' think computers use that much power (least normal workstations
anyway) to bring up or down your utility bill much, so couldn't you
just leave it on as is and just shut off your monitor until your ready
to use it again?

Because what is being installed are the packagers required by Kvirc,
and then that triggers packages that depend on those packages, so you
may end up with tad more than original.

Welp, it was as simple as everyone said it would be.

I took out the 2 drives, put them in the other box.  Then I had to
modify the BIOS to reorder the boot order of the drives.  Then last
thing was modifying my router to make sure the MAC address was changed
and everything else seems to work.

Changing systems

[Mike Chambers]

Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving,

Could I take 2 HD's out of 1 computer, move them to a different
computer, obviously having to reinstall grub and such, would they work
without having to do much of anything else?  

I know I have to make sure the correct one is booted up and how they
are connected, and the BIOS sees them correctly.

Anything else to know first?  The computers are both pretty new so not
like going from 10 year old to a 1 year old or anything, both only 3-5
years old even if that old.

F23 is using xorg-1.18 and that breaks ABI, therefore nvidia has to
update their driver to work with it.  This was from July but least
explains a few things for you.

 Forwarded Message

Subject: Fedora 23 is here!

Fedora 23 released
==

It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new
Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever
before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnations of the three
main Fedora editions — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Cloud, and Fedora
Server, each built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your
needs in different areas. Fedora 23 is also available in alternate
desktop Spins, curated software Labs, and special images for the ARM
processor architecture.

If that's all you need to hear, download from https://getfedora.org/,
or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading.

Otherwise, read on for details.


Fedora Workstation
--

If you're a software developer, laptop or home user, hobbyist,
enthusiast, or student, Fedora Workstation is perfect for you. Fedora
Workstation includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop, which
makes your everyday computing simple, polished, and pleasant.
Experience the sleek interface and powerful tools for yourself —
download Fedora Workstation now.

* https://getfedora.org/workstation

Fedora Server


Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a
programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web
GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from
the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a
kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity
management solution in place by lunchtime.

* https://getfedora.org/server

Fedora Cloud


Build scale-out computing with Fedora Cloud. The Fedora Cloud Base
image provides a minimal OS platform which can be downloaded for use in
OpenStack, or launched directly into EC2. Fedora Atomic Host takes
things in a more radical direction, providing a specialized system for
running Docker containers and Atomic Apps. Now with Fedora 23, Fedora
Atomic Host will be updated on a two-week cycle to keep at the edge of
emerging technology. Download or launch a Fedora Cloud image for your
chosen cloud provider, or as a Vagrant box for local development.

* https://getfedora.org/cloud/


Spins, Labs, and ARM


Fedora Spins are alternative desktops for Fedora that provide a
different experience than the standard Fedora Workstation edition. For
instance, the Fedora KDE and Fedora Xfce spins provide popular
alternatives to GNOME for Fedora users who enjoy the KDE or Xfce
experience. Fedora 23 also introduces a Cinnamon spin, which provides a
"traditional" desktop layout with the modern GNOME 3 shell.

* https://spins.fedoraproject.org

Fedora Labs are curated collections of software maintained by members
of the Fedora Community where you can find updated live media focused
on Games, Design, Robotics, and more. These may be installed on their
own or as add-ons to existing Fedora installations.

* https://labs.fedoraproject.org

We also provide a version of the Fedora operating system tailored for
running in on ARM-based systems, previously mixed into the Spins page
but now with a dedicated download page.

* https://arm.fedoraproject.org


Updated Components
--

As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version,
with improvements across the board. Of particular note, Fedora
Workstation includes the GNOME 3.18 desktop environment and the Libre
Office 5.0 office suite.

Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with
increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3
and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software
installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and Fedora Workstation
to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now
at version 4.

Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial
U1F32D character.


Downloads, upgrades, documentation, and common bugs
---

You can start by downloading Fedora 23:

* https://getfedora.org/

If you are upgrading from a previous release of Fedora, refer to:

* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading

Read the full release notes for Fedora 23:

* https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Release_Notes/

Fedora 23 common bugs are documented at:

* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F23_bugs

This page includes information on several known bugs in Fedora 23.
Please be sure to read it before installing!

Contributing


We hope you're as excited as we are about Fedora 23 and look forward to
exploring it yourself. Don't forget — Fedora never stands

Used to think/say the same thing, yes it can be a pain.

THEN, I decided to make a shell script (or 2), that either...

1 - Opens up a lot of config files that I normally edit on a clean
install and I just edit them and close them, so I don't forget what to
change.

2 - Created a 2nd to install all the packages (3rd party or from
Fedora) that I normally install after a clean install that way I don't
forget what to add.  And if there is a current problem with a package
or whatever, I just remove that one package until later.

Kinda of cave man like script but it helps and makes it a lot shorter
config time after the install.

Just something to think about to make installs easier..

You need to replace user/project with the real username and real
project name of what you want added, such as below..

dnf copr enable gusrub/corebird


Just browse the copr pages for the repository you want to add and then
add that username and project name and then it should work.

 After rebooting your Fedora Linux, lightdm should be the dm.


You can also install system-switch-displaymanager and let that do it
for you.

dnf install system-switch-displaymanager

system-switch-displaymanager gdm or system-switch-displaymanager
lightdm or whichever want you want.

Reboot (not sure just logging off works) and should be using the one
you chose.

The latest version of gvfs from F21 is gvfs-1.22.4-1.fc21.  Unless it
gives you a lot of dep issues, you could try downgrading to that
version to see if that fixes it.  If not, can just upgrade back to it.

System log files

[Mike Chambers]

On my machine that runs as a server, it was on F21 and using dnf,
upgraded it to F22, no issues for most part except for my log files not
rotating.  I first seen this as I was no longer getting any emails from
that machine via epylog.  So I ran epylog cron manually and it said all
my modules were disabled.  So I started investigating and this is when
noticed my files didnt' have anything in them.

It seems that my log files in /var/log are not populating like they
should, such as messages, maillog, etc.  Now I know if I run journalctl
or whatever I can see messages or whatever that is from that command.

So something isn't starting or I need to do some quick edit to a config
file or something to use journald or whatever?

Is this specific to just KDE, or happens on gnome/cinnamon/mate and so
on?

I was on KDE for few Fedora versions now, but didn't like how Plasma 5
was, as well as evolution on KDE. So I gave Cinnamon a try (I used to
like gnome until gnome-shell came into the picture) and It's like using
gnome-shell but with the look of gnome2.  And evolution acts a lot
better and like it should (using it lately in KDE it would often not
auto check/get the emails that I setup and had trouble filtering at
times) and no more fighting it.  

Takes a tad getting used to at first but starting to like it more and
more.  It does have it's own weather applet and stuff, but not sure how
the status bar and the like as I don't do the stuff your doing, but it
might.

Just a suggestion/thought...

NFS trees during install

[Mike Chambers]

Hi all,

I currently locally mirror Fedora release trees, as well as updates 
and testing trees, and are all nfs mounted.  I would like to do the 2 
below things.

1 - What to issue at boot to include updates and testing trees? I 
already use nfs parameter for the release tree.

2 - What do I do to use a newer anaconda package from the testing tree 
instead of the one in the main tree?  I guess I want to include a new 
image to use from the newer anaconda?  I already use the boot.iso from 
the release tree and guess I need to create a new/custom image?

Thanks ahead of time,

Evolution Filtering

[Mike Chambers]

Ever since a couple of updates ago, evolution will be stucking in
filtering mode, as in waiting for all the emails to be filtered and
sent to their respective folders.  I have to close, then kill the pid.
Then I can reopen it and it will start filtering with no problems.  But
once you leave it open for awhile, it is stuck again trying to filter.

Be advised, this worked when F21 first came out and however many updates
after that until recently.  Nothing on the settings end nor anything was
changed.  And this system is setup as imap to a local network mail
server.

evolution-data-server-3.12.11-1.fc21.x86_64
evolution-3.12.11-1.fc21.x86_64

Evolution not filtering

[Mike Chambers]

In Fedora 21, using evolution-3.12.9, in KDE (maybe it happens in gnome
as well?), anyone having trouble with evolution not downloading all the
emails, via imap, as in just stops?  Mine does that, and if I close it,
then open again, it shows and gets the emails.  And sometimes it either
doesn't filter at all, or it does, and acts like it leaves a copy
showing in the inbox?  Had no issues with the version from fedora 20 at
all.

Check your grub configuration and make sure nothing was added removed on
the kernel paramaters that might reflect your display.

Repo deleted

[Mike Chambers]

Ok, I recently installed the new to be release Fedora 21 on my server
(client been testing for months now).  I have rsync setup to mirror some
Fedora sites (fedora, beta releases, updates, updates-testing, etc..)
that I mirror every day, usually every 4-6 depending on which script
runs.  This has run flawelessly up until the server had F21.  It would
mirror, delete and downloaded what was needed just fine.

Now, for some reason, everyday it looks like the mirrors are all deleted
and packages downlaoded from scratch.  The only thing I can find that
seems related is when I do a yum update (client side mostly, and I have
the mirrored dir's mounted via nfs, as is same as when was on F20), it's
after that it seems the dir's get deleted.  And I don't mean the dir
itself, but the contents of them.

For example, I have /rsync/fedora-test/ as my prerelease dir and all the
branches of F21 (release, updates, updates-testing, rpmfusion stuff) are
in there.  All of the dir names are listed as always, but the sub's are
removed and then redownloaded again.  I have tried 2 different mirrors
and both happen the same.

It's like when yum tries to upgrade (and it may be when I do a yum clean
all), then something happens to the dir's (and it may not be exactly
that, but right after) then next time rsync checks, it downloads it all
from scratch again.  I can say, up to the point of it downloading again,
before that, when rsync checks the mirrors, it only deletes/downloads
what was changed, not the whole thing.

I don't get it nor can find what is happening.  Wondering if the
harddrive itself is going bad somehow, as the rsync/mirror stuff is on
sep HD and mounted that way from install?  

Any thoughts on what to look for, or any other details to show you or
give you that might help decide what to do or how to do it?

Re: Dovecot

[Mike Chambers]

I finally got it working this morning after work, I just removed the
program totally to include all the conf files and stuff and reinstalled it,
only configured bare minimal and can login now.  Now, the only thing I am
having a problem with, is I have it setup for imap, and I can create
folders, but I can't create a subfolder.

For example, I have a folder called RedHat, and I put all the different
mailing lists I subscribe to under that folder, such as Beta for testing,
devel for devel list, Fedora for users list, info for announce lists, etc..
But I can create the RedHat folder, but when trying to create one under it,
it won't let me highlight that folder to create it under.  If I try to
create it as a main folder, then move it to the RedHat folder, can't do
that neither.  I think I ran into this before but can't remember how I
created the sub folders.  This is using evolution on the client machine btw
haha.

Any ideas?  Also, sorry if this is top writing or whatever it may be, as am
currently going through gmail for now so I don't bounce emails until get my
server working OK.

Dovecot

[Mike Chambers]

Hi all,

Just recently I reinstalled my server box, and having to set it up to
receive email again.  I got sendmail working OK I think, and have dovecot
setup for imap and pop.  But dovecot won't recognize my login info, so it's
not recognizing my default logins, which I just use a normal /etc/passwd
for users and passwords, nothing special.  I also have ssl turned off since
it's all local.

So what am I missing in my /etc/dovecot/conf.d dir to configure?

BTW, it is Fedora 21 that I am using, but it shouldn't matter as dovecot
should be same on 20 as well, I would think/hope.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

  Hi all,
 
  Just recently I reinstalled my server box, and having to set it up to

 setup for imap and pop.  But dovecot won't recognize my login info, so it's
 not recognizing my default logins, which I just use a normal /etc/passwd
 for users and passwords, nothing special.  I also have ssl turned off since
 it's all local.
 
  So what am I missing in my /etc/dovecot/conf.d dir to configure?
 
  BTW, it is Fedora 21 that I am using, but it shouldn't matter as dovecot
 should be same on 20 as well, I would think/hope.
 
  Any help appreciated, thanks.
 

 What do you get if you do

 telnet localhost 143and then enter 

 a.000 login username password

 I don't use dovecot.but there should be logs and you should be able to
 do

 journalctl -b 0 -u dovecot

Or just use akmod-nvidia and when you install an updated kernel and

 My next try it would be to use the nvidia drivers instead of nouveau but

Was the kernel updated?  Have you tried to boot with an older kernel
that worked before to see if there is an issue there?

Mirroring issue

[Mike Chambers]

Hey all,

Got an issue I want to get thoughts/opinions on.  

I currently mirror Fedora releases, updates, rawhide, etc...But on the
releases, that is the problem.  Fedora has a few directories to mirror
and not sure which scenario to use.

1 - I currently mirror the *whole kit and kaboodle* directory (it has
everything in other words), that way if/when I install a package that is
or uses a package from the Fedora main repository, I can get it.  And
then if for some reason I need to reinstall Fedora (20 in this case), I
use the http option as my connection is pretty fast and doesn't take
forever to install.  Why I do it that way is because the *everything*
directory doesn't have an installable tree to use.

2 - I have mirrored the installable tree directory (basically the
release, as you would get it on dvd), so can do reinstalls or whatever
from Fedora with no issues.  But if you install a package from somewhere
and it calls for a Fedora package not in the mirror, then you are stuck.
So I guess using this scenario, would have to change the repo from yum
to use the *everything* tree from http (since the connection is fast
anyway), but takes away reason for mirroring in first place.

3 - I guess I have the room (spare disk used for mirroring and such away
from system) to just mirror both and not have to use internet at all, at
least from Fedora perspective?

Any thoughts/suggestions/issues, are more than welcome.

 Thanks to all who responded.
 The owner managed to get to a Brother service tech and was told that the 
 USB ports on his computer were not communicating with the printer, He 
 switched to eth0 and the printer works. So the USB ports are all of a 
 sudden only good for keyboard and microphone.

I had a similar issue with an HP all-in-one printer and ended up
switching to a different USB port and eventually worked.  I know some
come with different versions (2, 3, etc..) of USB ports so it might have
partly been that.  Although if it was plugged into one of them, and all
of a sudden stopped while plugged into same port, then sounds buggy to
me.  Maybe something in the BIOS or something turned off that port, or
something from MS.

Anyway, glad it's working and if using eth0 port, might work better
and/or faster.

Evolution not deleting emails

[Mike Chambers]

Anyone else having issues with evolution not automatically removing mail
from the Junk folder on exit, even though it's checked to remove it?  Seems
this has been the case during F20 and F19 and recent versions of evolution.

It also doesn't seem to remove my emails from trash folder as well, and
that one is marked to be removed.

Install and mirror issues on F20

[Mike Chambers]

When using the boot.iso image and put on disk, does it have to be used
against an installable Fedora 20 tree, or can it be against just the
Packages/Repodata (Everything) tree where *all* the packages are
located?

Reason asking, is I mirror most of all Fedora most recent releases, to
include updates, testing, etc..But I mirror the release base against the
installable tree, not the *Everything* tree.

Well, using above, when I go to install other programs, from 3rd party
or even just what didn't come with the install, and the mirrored
installable tree doesn't have that package, I have to get it from the
*Everything* tree.


Hope I worded this right haha,

 How do I move or change the configuration so I can dual boot in Windows

I have EFI but at startup before BIOS, I can select how to boot up a CD

choose legacy, then do the install and therefore use normal grub2 and
dual boot with no issues.

[Fwd: Announcing the release of Fedora 20.]

[Mike Chambers]

 on x86 with libvirt/virt-manager ==

You can now run ARM VMs on x86 hosts using standard libvirt tools: libvirt 
virsh, virt-manager and virt-install.

*** Big Data ***

The Fedora 20 release includes all the packages you need to run Apache Hadoop 
2.2.0. Hadoop is a widely used, increasingly complete big data platform with a 
strong, growing community and ecosystem. The Hadoop packages included with 
Fedora 20 will provide a foundation for immediate use of Hadoop and a base for 
the rest of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.

*** Developer Goodness ***

As always, Fedora 20 includes new features and updated packages that will be of 
interest to all manner of developers.

== WildFly 8 ==

WildFly 8 is the next version of the application server previously known as 
JBoss Application Server. With WildFly 8, it's possible to run your Java EE 7 
applications with unparalleled speed. 

WildFly 8 boasts a optimized boot process that starts services concurrently to 
eliminate unnecessary waits and taps into the power of multi-core processors. 
At the same time, WildFly takes an aggressive approach to memory management and 
keeps its memory footprint exceptionally small compared to other JVMs. 

== Ruby on Rails 4.0 ==

This update supports Ruby on Rails developers by providing system-packaged Ruby 
on Rails of the latest version. Apart from that, Rails 4.0 also brings improved 
functionality, speed, security, and better modularization.

*** Maturity and Advanced Features ***

Sometimes it's not the big, new features that make a user's experience better; 
it's the little enhancements or long-awaited tricky features that really help 
make a new release the bee's knees. 

== NetworkManager Improvements ==

NetworkManager is getting several improvements in Fedora 20 that will be 
welcome additions for power users and system administrators. 

Users will now be able to add, edit, delete, activate, and de-activate network 
connections via the nmcli command line tool, which will make life much easier 
for non-desktop uses of Fedora.

NetworkManager is also getting support for bonding interfaces and bridging 
interfaces. Bonding and bridging are used in many enterprise setups and are 
necessary for virtualization and fail-over scenarios.

== No Default Sendmail, Syslog ==

In the interests of paring down services that are generally not used on desktop 
systems, Fedora 20 removes and replaces some services that many users find 
unnecessary from the Live Desktop DVD. They will remain available as 
installable packages for users who might need them. 

The systemd journal now takes the place as the default logging solution for 
minimal and other selected installation methods, such as the Live Desktop DVD, 
having been tested and able to manage persistent logging in place of syslog. 

Also, Sendmail will no longer be installed by default, as most Fedora installs 
have no need of a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). 

*** Even More Changes ***

Fedora prides itself on bringing cutting-edge technologies to users of open 
source software around the world, and this release continues that tradition. No 
matter what you do, Fedora 20 has the tools you need to help you get things 
done. 

A complete list with details of each new change is available here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/20/ChangeSet

*** Documentation ***

Read the full release notes for Fedora 20, guides for several languages, and 
learn about known bugs and how to report new ones:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/

Fedora 20 common bugs are documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F20_bugs

This page includes information on several known non-blocker bugs in Fedora 20; 
please be sure to read it before installing!

*** Contributing ***

We hope that you're excited to have Fedora 20 in your hands and are looking 
forward to using it and exploring its new features and many improvements over 
Fedora 19. But that's not all! Fedora never stands still, we're always working 
towards a new and better release and sharing our work with the world. Want to 
be part of the fun? It's easy to get involved! 

There are many ways to contribute to Fedora, even if it's just bug reporting. 
You can also help translate software and content, test and give feedback on 
software updates, write and edit documentation, design and do artwork, help 
with all sorts of promotional activities, and package free software for use by 
millions of Fedora users worldwide. To get started, visit

Maybe it's the version of Chrome your using that might be the issue, or
does it do it on all of them?  Are you up to date, and if so, you using
stable, beta, unstable?  Might try a different one.  Or, to see if it's

== Contributing ==

There are many ways to contribute beyond bug reporting. You can help translate 
software and content, test and give feedback on software updates, write and 
edit documentation, design and do artwork, help with all sorts of promotional 
activities, and package free software for use by millions of Fedora users 
worldwide. To get started, visit http://join.fedoraproject.org today!

== Fedora 19 ==

Even as we continue to provide updates with enhancements and bug fixes to 
improve the Fedora number experience, our next release, Fedora 19, is already 
being developed in parallel and has been open for active development for 
several months already. We have an early plan for release at the end of May 
2013, and the final schedule for F19 is going to be based on the results of the 
planning process:

Fedora has always been full of great features, but sometimes we need to cull 
the herd. Saying good-bye is always hard, but here are the ones we had to put 
out to pasture this time around. 

* /etc/sysconfig Deprecations: Several system configurations have moved out of 
/etc/sysconfig. The goal of these changes is to reduce - as described in 
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-new-configuration-files.html - the 
unnecessary differences between Linux distributions and share a standard 
location for common settings.

Subject: Announcing the release of Fedora 18.
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:03:18 -0500 (EST)

The Fedora Project is incredibly delighted to announce the release of Fedora 18 
(Spherical Cow). Heck, we'd even say that getting this release to you has 
been a mooving experience.

Fedora is a leading-edge, free and open source operating system that continues 
to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new release about every 
six months...or so. :-D  But no bull: Spherical Cow, is of course, Fedora's 
best release yet. You'll go through the hoof when you hear about the Grade A 
Prime F18 features. You can always cownt on us to bring you the best features 
first.

Can't wait for a taste? You can get started downloading now:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

Detailed information about this release can be seen in the release notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Release_Notes/

== What's New in Fedora 18? ==

The Fedora Project takes great pride in being able to show off features for all 
types of use cases, including traditional desktop users, systems 
administration, development, the cloud, and many more. But a few new features 
are guaranteed to be seen by nearly anyone installing Fedora and are 
improvements that deserve to be called out on their own.

The user interface for Fedora's installation software, Anaconda, has been 
completely re-written from the ground up. Making its debut in Fedora 18, the 
new UI introduces major improvements to the installation experience. It uses a 
hub-and-spoke model that makes installation easier for new users, offering them 
concise explanations about their choices. Advanced users and system 
administrators are of course still able to take advantage of more complex 
options. The general look and feel of the installation experience has been 
vastly upgraded, providing modern, clean, and comprehensible visuals during the 
process. While the new installer should work well for most users in most 
configurations, there are inevitably a few teething problems in the first 
release of such a major revision. 

Known design limitations of the new installer in F18 are listed here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/NewInstaller
Known significant bugs can be seen here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs#Installation_issues

We welcome your constructive and specific feedback as we continue to work on 
refining the installer for future releases. 

The upgrade process for Fedora now uses a new tool called FedUp (Fedora 
Upgrader). FedUp replaces pre-upgrade as well as the DVD methods for upgrading 
that have been used in previous Fedora releases. FedUp integrates with systemd 
to enable the upgrade functionality, doing the work in a pristine boot 
environment.

Of course, it wouldn't be a release announcement without a spotted -- er, 
dotted -- list of all the other fantastic features you'll see in Fedora 18:

=== For desktop users ===

Mve over, stale desktops. We've got a small herd of choices udderly suited 
to your preferences.

* GNOME 3.6: The newest version of the GNOME desktop provides an enhanced 
Messaging Tray, support for Microsoft Exchange and Skydrive, and many more new 
features. 

* Cinnamon: Fedora users now have the option of using Cinnamon, an advanced 
desktop environment based on GNOME 3. Cinnamon takes advantage of advanced 
features provided by the GNOME backend while providing users with a more 
traditional desktop experience.

* MATE Desktop: The MATE desktop provides users with a classic GNOME 2.x style 
user interface. This desktop is perfect for users who have been running GNOME 
Classic or other window managers like XFCE as an alternative to GNOME 3. 

* KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.9: KDE Plasma Workspaces has been updated with many 
new features and improved stability and performance, including updates to the 
Dolphin File Manager, Konsole, and KWin Window manager. 

* Xfce 4.10: The lightweight and easy-to-use Xfce desktop has been updated to 
the 4.10 version with many bug fixes and enhancements, including a new MIME 
type editor, a reworked xfce4-run dialog, improved mouse settings, tabs in the 
Thunar file manager, and options to tile windows in xfwm4. Through all of these 
and more, Xfce continues to improve without getting in your way. 

Regardless of your desktop choice, Fedora 18 offers...

* Improved storage management: SSM (System Storage Manager) is an easy-to-use 
command-line interface tool that presents a unified view of storage management 
tools. Devices, storage pools, volumes, and snapshots can now be managed with 
one tool, with the same syntax for managing all of your storage. (It's great 
for systems administrators, too!)

=== For developers ===

For developers there are all sorts of moo-tivating goodies

 Alan, please, verify information before dissemination.
 MAC address assigned to a physical NIC ought to be globally unique.
 Ethernet frames are sent to MAC address, so two identical addresses
 present in any broadcast domain would awfully confuse network
 switches. See e.g. Wikipedia article on MAC
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address. Hardware producers reserve
 prefixes (first 3 bytes of the address) and are responsible for not
 manufacturing devices with identical suffixes (last 3 bytes of the
 address).


  This should result in globally unique MAC addresses, however
 I did encounter NICs with identical ones (cheap stuff of unknown and
 dubious provenance).

You try to call out Alan, THEN your last sentence above, states exactly
what Alan said, they *can* have identical in the same machine *BUT
RARE*.  And you just stated you encountered it once?  Sounds like what
he stated to me.

At the heat of a thousand hot dog cookers, the seventeenth release of 
Fedora shall be forged by contributors the world over, and it will be 
known as: Beefy Miracle. The mustard shall indicate progress.

For six months, participants in the Fedora Project shall freely 
contribute to the release of the distribution, in the spirit of the Four 
Foundations -- Freedom, Friends, Features,  and First -- and moreover, 
they shall relish in Fun, as a community without Fun would be like a day 
without sunshine.

Upon release, a free and open source operating system shall be available 
to  all, catering to a variety of tastes -- those of end-users, systems 
administrators, and developers, with a common thread that binds them 
all: No, not their love for hot dogs, silly, as we certainly know that 
Fedora shall be created and used by those whose dietary preference could 
be either Beefy or Leafy.  Freedom, my friends, Freedom is the Great 
Condiment, which shall enable all users of the Beefy Miracle to Create, 
Share, and Do.

-- The Book of Sauerkraut, Chapter 12, Verse 529

The Beefy Miracle hath arrived. Behold, for it is available to download now:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

And lo, detailed information about this release can be seen in the 
release notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Release_Notes/

== Condiments ==

Frankly, we believe this is the beefiest release ever -- chock full of 
condiments, more commonly known as Features, to customize your 
experience to your tastes. We take pride in our toppings, and in our 
fine ingredients; Fedora 17 includes both over- and  under-the-bun 
improvements that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing 
state of free (range) software.

On the desktop: GNOME 3.4 introduces many user experience improvements, 
including new search capabilities in the activities overview, improved 
themes, and enhancements to the Documents and Contacts applications. A 
new application, GNOME-boxes, provides easy access to virtual machines.  
Additionally, GIMP 2.8, the newest version  of the GNU Image 
Manipulation Program, brings new improvements, such as single-window 
mode, layer groups, and on-canvas editing.

For developers: You never sausage a great array of development tools! 
Fedora 17 includes a pre-release of Juno, the release of the  Eclipse 
SDK expected in June 2012.  Java 7 (and OpenJDK 7) is the default Java 
runtime and Java build toolset, and GCC 4.7.x is now the primary 
compiler in Fedora.  Other language refreshes include shipping Ruby 
1.9.3, the latest stable version of the Ruby language; PHP 5.4, the 
latest PHP stack; an update of Erlang to the R15 release; and the D 
language has been updated to the 2.058 release.

Under the hood, and in the cloud: Serving up hot dogs all day long? 
Increase your reliability and versatility with the new enhancements to 
the clustering stack in Fedora  17. Load balancing and high availability 
improvements have been made, allowing systems administrators to deploy 
Fedora in environments requiring greater availability and clustered file 
systems. JBoss Application Server (AS) 7 has also been added to Fedora 
17; this fast, lightweight, and modular application server allows you to 
run full Java EE applications. oVirt, a server virtualization management 
system with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, is also 
included.  The automatic multi-seat feature enables multiple, concurrent 
end-users to utilize a desktop from a single machine, which any systems 
administrator can relish. And we couldn't possibly write this without 
talking about our foray into Hot Dogs as a Service (HDaaS)... oh, just 
kidding, we just had to make a cloudy joke. In all seriousness, though, 
OpenStack, a collection of services that can be used to set up and run 
cloud compute and storage infrastructure, has been updated to the latest 
release, 2012.1 (Essex), in Fedora 17.

Ran into this (on a regular system) when trying it out while back, and

1 - Format the disk as gpt instead of msdos before installing (hope that
made sense lol).
2 - When using a /boot/efi dir as first dir instead of /boot.

But using an LVM then may be outta my realm of suggestions and will

Subject: Change in Fedora leadership
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 07:54:16 -0500

One of the things I like most about the Fedora Project is the
opportunity for people to move and grow in (and out) of different
roles and responsibilities.   The position of Fedora Project Leader,
in particular, has never been a long-term leadership position, but one
that regularly invites new people to assume the role and bring new
ideas and new energy to the project.  I would like to take this
opportunity to share some of my thoughts about being the Fedora
Project Leader, and inform you of upcoming changes in Fedora
leadership.  Any time we make leadership changes in Fedora, we that
that challenge seriously, and do everything we can to make the
leadership transition as smooth as possible.

Although I've been using Fedora since the split from Red Hat Linux,
it's only been the past five of six years that I've really been an
active contributor.  Sure, I was hanging out on the mailing lists,
trying out the pre-releases and reporting bugs, but I didn't really
consider myself a part of Fedora.  It wasn't until I got started with
the Docs team and attended my first FUDCon that I truly caught the
spirit of the Fedora community.  Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed
rubbing shoulders with people who are infinitely smarter than me, and
I've learned a tremendous amount -- both about the technical bits and
bytes, and also about free software communities.  And for the last
little while, it's been my honor and privilege to serve the community
as the Fedora Project Leader.  The role of Fedora Project Leader isn't
an easy role, but I am proud of the things we've been able to
accomplish both within the distribution and within the community
during my tenure.  We've had three solid Fedora releases during my
time as FPL, each one with a myriad of new features.  I've worked hard
to expand our international outreach, and to get more international
representation on the Fedora Board.  We've updated the Fedora website.
 We've improved our quality assurance processes.  We've been able to
deliver Fedora images for the Amazon EC2 cloud on release day.  We've
improved our translation system.  I'm thankful for all those who have
worked hard to help drive Fedora forward.  Now is the time for me to
pass the torch to the next Fedora Project Leader.

As you probably already know, Red Hat employs the FPL to ensure
someone is accountable to Red Hat and the rest of the community for
the Fedora Project as a whole.  After all, many Fedora leaders have
referred to the FPL as the one throat to choke when it comes to
Fedora.  The FPL is still subject to the same process as any other Red
Hat hire, though, and ultimately Red Hat is responsible for that
decision.  It is imperative that the decision be a good one for the
entire Fedora community, so the Fedora Board is consulted about the
selection.  This process has continued to work well for several
previous FPLs, and the Board provided positive feedback about our
selection this time around, too.

I'm happy to announce that Red Hat has selected Robyn Bergeron to be
the next Fedora Project Leader.  Robyn has proven herself in the
Fedora community over the last several years, and I have complete
confidence in her abilities to lead the Fedora Project.  In addition
to planning FUDCon Tempe in 2011 and helping to lead the Marketing and
Cloud SIGs within Fedora, Robyn has been an integral part of many
other Fedora events and endeavors.  Most recently, she has held the
role of Fedora Program Manager, helping to ensure that we all stay on
schedule and helping the Fedora feature process stay on track.  Please
join with me in welcoming Robyn into her new role, and in giving her
your help and support in her new role.  I'll be working with Robyn
over the next weeks and months to help her in the new role.

 I guess, I must be specific. Does it insert a GPT partition where there
 was none before? How does this affect a machine that had perviously been
 partitioned without a GPT partition?

Try Partition Magic, it will get you a GPT partition even as a bootable
disc.  It's what I had to do as well, and same as what you're trying to
do.

 Assuming that 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 is the later version how do I
 fix that?

On your grub2.cfg file, check the top (below) and see what it has for
default=...

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates

set default=0


Might be 1 or something else.  If so, change it to 0 and you do NOT have
to run the command it says to run.  Just editing is enough.  Reboot and
test.

 I understand what you are saying, but how could have the above changed

Maybe it still thinks the other box is the same IP, maybe due to the MAC

 In fact it just finds installations which do not exist, probably traces of
 fedora14 which was installed before fedora 16.


If you edit /etc/grub2.cfg (which is a link to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg) you
do NOT need to run NOTHING.  Just edit the file and it will work, no
commands to run at all.  And whatever you change there, esp if involves
paramaters to the kernel, such as rhgb and quiet, then those will
translate to each new kernel that it adds to it.

Maybe I am missing something that makes you run it for some odd reason?

http index page

[Mike Chambers]

Hi all,

Since lost my harddrive and have redone everything (cept web, since the
data backup hd is what i lost), thought I start over and with something
new for my web server.  I have wordpress installed and have it up and
running.  

Now to my question

As of right now, wordpress has a wordpress.conf file in http dir that
points to /usr/share/wordpress, with alias as /wordpress.  I would like
to make my home page without the alias still point to that.


In other words..

http://www.miketc.net/wordpess is what is current.

http://www.miketc.net is what I would like to have, and still be same as
above.

Hope that made sense haha.

 For example I which to remove the quiet and rhgb options from the

Edit /etc/grub2.cfg and that should be it.  Omit what it says at the top

Dunno how but got it straight via virtual host, and first time haha.
Think can maybe change dir path and do it via main part that way too.

 Check this thread, because one or more of the fixes might work for you: 
 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=272403  If not, check 
 /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and see if your kernel has an initrd line.  If not, 
 that might be part of the issue; at least, it seems to have been for my 
 desktop.  And, in either event, you'll have problems with kernel updates 
 until you fix it.  HTH, HAND.

Setting permissions, restarting pulseaudio, adding myself to audio group
didn't help.  And my grub.conf does have an initrd line.  So I don't
know what else to do at this point.  Am sure there a way just have to
wait for the right fix haha.

After some research, figured out how to get my harddrive partition

I do see that grub1 is used instead of 2?

Sound not working

[Mike Chambers]

Got a new system today and got F16 up and running and it all seems to be
in order, cept my sound.  It works in windows with no problems, but not
Fedora.  Maybe not recognizing the drivers, or not being loaded or
something.  Below it the spec for the machine...

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03042936tmp_task=prodinfoCategorycc=usdlc=enjumpid=reg_r1002_usens-001lang=enlc=enproduct=5156979#N66



This is from lspci and the only Audio part that I can see...

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Hudson Azalia
Controller (rev 01)

Maybe someone can see what I need to enable/do/whatever to get it
working?

Thanks ahead of time,

Mike Chambers

Mirror scripts

[Mike Chambers]

Due to some HD issues on my data drive, I lost all my scripts and such.
Anyone have/use a simple little rsync script to mirror that can use to
run off crontab?  This script will be edited for various mirrors.  It
will run anywhere from every 4-6 hours and once a day as well.

Am googling as well but not like what am seeing so far or seem way to
much.

Also check out /etc/dovecot/conf.d as there are bunches of scripts in

Maybe you can get better help by saying what the exact problem is your
having?  Are you using yum to install it from rpmfusion, such as yum
install akmod-nvidia?  Or you trying it from scratch/source code?  Or is
it installing but it never starts up or you system doen't load the
module?  Are you blacklisting nouveau module?

You also might get better help also by going to rpmfusion.org web site
and find their mailing list and ask there too.

 Where does one find System info? I can't find it.

Right top corner, click on your username and go to System Settings.
Scroll to the very bottom and should see it under System.

Does it work correctly *without* the kvm switch?  Maybe try without, get
it working *then* use the kvm switch and see what happens?

 GNOME 3 no longer includes built-in screensaver support, but you can
 still use the legendary xscreensaver software to get a slide show
 screensaver.
 
 First, install it:
 # yum install xscreensaver


Got it and all set, thanks.

 Hi, list!
 I'm trying to set up passwordless sudo for myself. It's a shiny brand

 a new user and put him to administrative group. I answered yes and
 hence my user is able to run commands using sudo. However in
 /etc/sudoers there's not a mention of my user. I've added the
 following string to it:
 hiisi   ALL=(ALL)   NOPASSWD: ALL

On initial installs when this is setup, your userID is not added to the
sudoers file itself.  The *wheel* group is what is allowed/setup in
sudoers, and your userid is added to the *wheel* group in the /etc/group
file, such as below..

wheel:x:10:your-username-here

If you wanted to do passwordless, then comment out the line below..

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheelALL=(ALL)   ALL

And uncomment the line below here..

## Same thing without a password
# %wheel  ALL=(ALL)   NOPASSWD: ALL

In other words, it doesn't add the username/ID itself to the sudoers
file, it goes through the *wheel* group and you add/drop users from
there on need to use basis.

 Wouldn't this actually enable passwordless sudo for all members of the wheel 
 group, rather than just for one user?

Yes it would.  Or change the group to something else instead of wheel
and just make sure the groups file is updated.

 
 What would the config look like if the OP wants to be both a member of the 
 wheel group, and have a paswordless sudo config *only* for himself?

If just using the stuff already in the config, for example the OP could
uncomment the first one with wheel and use that one with passwords, and
then uncomment the line below and put in his own group for ones without
passwords.

Not sure which one is read/used first but assuming it would know.  man
sudoers for more information.

  Even if you manage to download the iso, how will you update it? There

 I didn't get you clearly. But I guess you are thinking that I'll
 download the individual packages. Nope I'm not doing it that way. I
 want to download the iso, one file and want it split to small files.

Could you try an http install so only have to download a
netinstall.iso/boot.iso and let it download/install over the internet?
That takes care of one box until get hands on an iso or dvd or something
(hell can someone mail a dvd to you? lol)

 Don't know. But you can try to start firefox in the safe mode:
 
 firefox -safe-mode
 
 Probably, some extension is the culprit, and -safe-mode will run FF
 without any add-on. Then you may check the error console of FF.

Might just try firefox from commanline without any exts and see if get
any errors when trying to run it as normal.
