RHEL and Clones are a nightmare. Here is a good example:
This one of mine and it was "ignored" by Red Hat:
7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423
Cost me over a U$D 1000 to figure it out.
Fedora is a Kaisen (constant improvement) OS. RHEL is an
Anti-Kaisen by design OS.

file server question: cifs vs nfs?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
A customer is thinking of having me build him a
file server. He has 3 windows 10 workstation
that all need to see that same YUGE drawing files.
Plus backup would be nice.
So since I am allergic to Windows servers (the make me
say "bad" words), I thought of a FC29 Samba server.
Then it occurred to me, why not put the shoe on
the other foot. If there is an NFS client for
Windows, why not use NFS? Any benefit of using
NFS over CIFS on this scenario?
You thoughts?

using sed -- delete line in file matching inputLine
by bruce
Hey.
Used sed in the past to delete lines from files where the pattern is
within a line.
However I'm not sure I've ever had to delete a line where the line in
the file matches the inputLine. Would I simply use the inputPattern
plus a "\n'"??
any pointers are good..
thanks

lot of problems with f29
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I recently upgraded my system from f28 to f29, after some problems with
lvm (see my other post...) the system was ok, but today I faced new
problems: selinux went crazy... refusing to start mariadb. A lot of
notifications appeared on my screen and I tried to do what these
notifications suggested... but after reboot problems are the same as if
I did not do anything!
I updated my system, but after reboot on kernel 4.19.6-300.fc29.x86_64,
the boot process stops after "reached target system default". And I had
to boot on the previous kernel ( 4.19.5-300.fc29.x86_64). But the
selinux problem remains and I had to disable selinux.
I don't know what caused these problems and why the last kernel is not
booting.
Any clue?
Thank you.

e-mail security.
by home user
Good afternoon,
Today, I received a message claiming to be from "noreply(a)barracuda.com".
Never heard of them. The message tells me to click a link in the
message to view an encrypted message. Now I know that clicking links in
e-mail is risky. How do I safely determine if this is genuine and safe
without clicking that link?
thanks,
Bill.

pencl with f29
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I try to have opencl working with darktable on my system f29. This used
to work with f28, but I can't have it working with f29.
nvidia_uvm module is there and it can be loaded using modprobe, but it
is not loaded at boot and no /dev/nvidia-uvm is created.
Does anybody know how to enable opencl for f29?
Thank you.

system-upgrade download fails after power failure
by Ewan Slater
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from 27 -> 28.
Yesterday I was running `sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=28` when I had a power failure.
After I got power back, I tried to run it again I get the trace below.
I have tried repeating the process again from `sudo dnf upgrade --refresh` and removing and reinstalling system-upgrade, but I still get the same message.
Any suggestions on how to get round this?
Cheers,
Ewan

Login problems with Fedora 29
by alan@clueserver.org
This one is a bit of a mystery...
I have a newish install of Fedora 29. I am using two SSD drives on a
Lenovo W540 laptop with UEFI boot.
Every once in a while the system stops accepting my password. Rebooting
does not help.
I can mount the drive with a live F29 distro and chroot the root drive. I
have a backup of the /etc/shadow file and there are no changes to the
user. "changing" the password fixes the problem.
I am using the Gnome 3 desktop.
Ideas why I am seeing this?
