VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

copy and paste from mouse when window full of icons?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) in my Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem: - I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names - if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it seems that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the paste option. In these cases I temporarily switch to what should be "icon view" and in this case I always have some blank space because of how items are displayed. I select a blank space and then right-mouse --> paste Then I come back to list view... Is this a sort of bug or what? Based on this link https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-copy.html.en I should have "paste" option in menu, but it doesn't happen, see screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1ZPYPJ5B8IRDA6T_LL5AfbCD2YFAy6_/view?usp=… NOTE: keyboard shortcut ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, though Thanks in advance.

Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
by Sudhir Khanger 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello, I get *Failed to start Load Kernel Modules* during the boot. Everytime Kernel is updated VirtualBox modules fail I have to reboot into the new Kernel, run the following commands and then it starts working. $ sudo akmods --force $ sudo dracut -v -f $ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg Then everything starts working again and the boot error goes away. You can found the background of the issue in the link below. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254340 My question is how can I automate this task.

ACPI errors (was: f24 boot fails; need help).
by William 19 Dec '18

Good evening, One of the problems reported in the log file "rdsosreport.txt" generated by the failed boots discussed in the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic was a set of "ACPI" errors. Here are the relevant lines (with added line numbers) from that log file (the first and last lines are just for context): ---------- 862 [ 1.218683] coyote kernel: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) 863 [ 1.218927] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 864 [ 1.219196] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 865 [ 1.219856] coyote kernel: ata2.00: ATA-8: ST2000DM001-1CH164, CC24, max UDMA/133 866 [ 1.220017] coyote kernel: ata2.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA 867 [ 1.220812] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 868 [ 1.221100] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 869 [ 1.221620] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 870 [ 1.221909] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 871 [ 1.222200] coyote kernel: ata6.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100 872 [ 1.222374] coyote kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 873 [ 1.222582] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 874 [ 1.222908] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 875 [ 1.222919] coyote kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 CC24 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 876 [ 1.223466] coyote kernel: ata4.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-208M, 1.10, max UDMA/100 877 [ 1.226360] coyote kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 878 [ 1.226407] coyote kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 879 [ 1.226501] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 880 [ 1.226507] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 881 [ 1.226519] coyote kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/100 882 [ 1.227197] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 883 [ 1.227204] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 884 [ 1.227217] coyote kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100 ---------- What is this all about?

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?
by wwp 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello there, (after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!) I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not friendly ;-). Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must admit that I don't know what to do now.. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily (artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly - and that gave me hope! Any hint or experience w/ such hardware? Regards, -- wwp

F28 server boots to the grub prompt even after dnf update and grub2-mkconfig
by linux guy 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

I have an up to date F28 server that boots to the grub prompt. This started after a failed dnf update. The computer will boot to an emergency mode command prompt if I set it up properly from the grub prompt. grub> set root=(lvm/fedora-root) grub> linuxefi (hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-0-rescue... root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root grub>initrdefi (hd0,gpt2)/initramfs-0-rescue....img grub>boot I can get networking working #ls /sys/call/net <- find Ethernet device is enp3s0 # ifup enp3s0 # ping www.google.com Now update it # dnf update Regenerate the grub2 config file # grub2-mkconfig Reboot # shutdown -r now It still boots to the grub prompt. Why does it boot to the grub prompt and what do I need to do to fix it ?

FSTRIM Service Failing at Boot Time
by Stephen Morris 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, I've just noticed that at boot time that the FSTRIM service is registering a failure. The failure seems to be because it is trying to trim two windows mount points which are on the SSD, that are mounted as RO because I can't mount them as RW due to Microsoft functionality. Is there any way to configure the FSTRIM service to not attempt to trim specific partitions? regards, Steve
