How to shut off org.freedesktop.trackers
by Javier Perez
HI
How do I shut off the Freedesktop trackers?
Right now they are filling up my logs with this message.
Oct 13 10:12:38 pepewin.localdomain dbus-broker-launch[9415]: Activation
request for 'org.freedesktop.Tracker1' failed.
Oct 13 10:13:49 pepewin.localdomain dbus-broker-launch[9415]: Activation
request for 'org.freedesktop.Tracker1' failed.
Every few seconds I get one like that. I masked all the trackers because
they were keeping the hard disk almost continuously in use (hdd light lit
on all the time).
Thanks

open ssh
by Angelo Moreschini
currently I perform operations between different computers in my local
network using open SSH; however, when I do this, I always use the
computer's IP number to reference the host. (ex: sudo ssh
angelo_dev(a)10.0.0.15)
I'm wondering without yet finding an answer how to do the same thing using
(instead of the IP address) the name of the computer ..
Do I have to Installase BIND? And then what else is needed? ...
thanks for every suggestion

Slow....And STILL Slow!?....
by Eddie O'Connor
So, after upgrading the RAM in my Lenovo ThinkPad T-420 I thought I'd get
faster performance. But even with two 8GB sticks?....it's running even
SLOWER?! Is there something I've done wrong? It's got a 320GB 7200RPM hard
drive....and it's running F30. Funny thing is? .....before the upgrade it
had just 8GB of RAM (two 4GB sticks) and seemed to run smoother and faster.
Is there anything I can check to find out what the problem could be?

upgrade to f30: how to recover lost Thunderbird data?
by home user
The upgrade to Fedora-30 is done. This included upgrading Thunderbird
to version 68.1. Unfortunately, this also lost all preferences,
calendar data, set-up, filters, etc.
Fortunately (I hope!), I did back up my ".thunderbird" directory before
doing the upgrade. I seriously need my e-mail filters and my calendar
(lightning?) data. How do I restore those?
thanks,
Bill.

where is the nasty cache?
by Tom Horsley
We shuffled some systems around at work. An NFS server now has
a new IP address. On my fedora 30 desktop I see:
nslookup <server> shows the new IP address
host <server> shows the new IP address
ping <server> still pings the OLD address!!!
mount /mountpoint apparent still uses the old IP because it times out.
I'm not running nscd. I'm not running systemd-resolv. I'm
not running dnsmasq or bind as a local cache. I don't have
entries in /etc/hosts for the old IP.
So where is this "helpful" cache that has the old
IP stashed?

The net.core.netdev_rss_key and insecure settings.
by Cătălin George Feștilă
What is net.core.netdev_rss_key?
Can be this default setting an insecure issue?
You can see it with this command:
[root@desk mythcat]# sysctl -a --pattern 'net.core.netdev_rss_key'

f30 :: ip6tables take 1.463s to load
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! Does anyone have any idea why there is such situation:
[root@localhost ~]# systemd-analyze blame | grep tables
1.463s ip6tables.service
217ms iptables.service
This is on a new nvme laptop but the same behavior is present on any
other systems that i have (but annoying on the laptop)
The overall situation is :
[root@localhost ~]# systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 2.070s (firmware) + 5.323s (loader) + 837ms (kernel)
+ 1.218s (initrd) + 2.067s (userspace) = 11.517s
graphical.target reached after 1.160s in userspace
Does anyone have an idea how can i speed up this? (firewalld usage is
not good for me)
Thank you!!
Adrian
