Tried to update my Fedora 29 this morning. It failed with this error: [SKIPPED] google-chrome-stable-72.0.3626.119-1.x86_64.rpm: Already downloaded Package ffmpeg-4.1.1-7.fc29.x86_64.rpm is not signed Package ffmpeg-libs-4.1.1-7.fc29.x86_64.rpm is not signed Package libavdevice-4.1.1-7.fc29.x86_64.rpm is not signed The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: GPG check FAILED Is there a work around or should I just wait ? Thanks

usb devices in gnome boxes with windows
by Alessandro 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Hi everyone, I write this post to ask for information about a problem I encounter on gnome boxes. I tried to install both Windows 7 and Windows 10 ltsb, but neither of them for having installed Windows guest tools for Spice when I insert a USB key (usb2, usb3 etc.) and from the settings of boxes I apply the shared USB stick, this is detected in Windows, but not configured and therefore remains unusable. I wanted to know if someone has encountered the same problem and possibly help me to solve it or to virtualize windows is better to use Virtualbox? I thank you all

Re: Clean Fedora partitions
by Chandana De Silva 24 Feb '19

What do you mean by 'clean'. Do you eant to remove unused/unwanted files or remove a suspected virus ? I am not sure that there is concept of 'cleaning' a partition. You can use variations of the find command to locate and delete files and / or directories. for example: find /path/to/directory -type f -atime +100 -exec rm -f {} \; will locate and delete all files which were last accessed more than 100 days ago. Obiviously, this needs to be used with care so that you don't delete something importatnt. I am sure that others will give you more options.

Email Question - OT
by S. Bob 23 Feb '19

23 Feb '19

Hi All; This is probably Off Topic, apologies... I recently kicked googlemail to the curb in favor of a service that does not read my emails (fastmail). We are very happy with fastmail. We are using our own domain which I was also doing with google. All of our clients can now email me at the same email address as before and I get the emails via fastmail, however we have one client that I do not receive the emails for. They can email me at other addresses but not the 'migrated' address. I'm not sure how to even start debugging this... Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated Thanks in advance

KDE Desktop Environment Doesn't Boot After Installer Puts Entry in Desktop Manager in F29
by Stephen Morris 23 Feb '19

23 Feb '19

Hi, In order to install the KDE Desktop I used DNF to install the KDE-desktop-environment group, which place a plasma entry in the desktop manager desktop list, but selecting this entry did not boot into KDE, it just continued to display the Desktop Manager. It wasn't until I manually installed, I think, the plasma-workspace-wayland that 'plasma for wayland' was added to the desktop list in the display that did enable KDE to be started. Given that it seems that F29 is standardizing on Wayland instead of Xorg, why doesn't the KDE-desktop-environment group also install this package to provide the needed Wayland support so KDE can be started under Wayland, rather than require the user to install it manually? regards, Steve

F29 support for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST)
by dsavage＠peaknet.net 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Does Fedora 29 support the Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) chip for hardware RAID? My new ThinkPad P72 came with an RST chip set up with two 2TB PCIe M.2 SSDs in a RAID1 config. The Fedora-29-MATE-Compiz spin DVD doesn't "see" it. Nor does Clonezilla. There's a BIOS mode setting for the Intel RST: "RST" mode for RAID, and "AHCI" mode for separate SATA drives. Changing that setting to AHCI will probably break the RAID1 array and render the P72 unbootable. I don't know if that would a destructive, irreversible change, or if changing the mode setting back to RST would restore everything. I've only tried the MATE spin. One purpose of this question is to find out if the full installation DVD supports the Intel RST chip. --Doc Robert G.

Samba & 389 Directory Server Integration
by houser＠nso.edu 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hi Folks, I'm running DS-389 (version: 1.3.7.5 ; Build: 2018.178.1311) on a Cent OS 7 vs. 7.6.1810) system. I've been working through the Samba & 389 Directory Server Integration doc and I've hit a snag. I've obtained my SID using the "net getlocalsid" command, but when I create my .ldif file (see below): [root]# cat sambaDomainName.ldif dn: sambaDomainName=WORKGROUP,dc=test,dc=example,dc=com (changed for security) objectclass: sambaDomain objectclass: sambaUnixIdPool objectclass: top sambaDomainName: WORKGROUP sambaSID: S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx (removed for security) uidNumber: 550 gidNumber: 550 And attempt to import it into my DS server using: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-<name>/ldif2ldap "cn=Directory manager" password ./sambaDomainName.ldif /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-<name>/ldif2ldap "cn=Directory manager,dc=test,dc=example,dc=com" password ./sambaDomainName.ldif I get an error: Options: -Z serverID - Server instance identifier -D rootdn - Directory Manager DN -w passwd - Directory Manager password -f file - File containing LDAP entries to add to the server -P protocol - STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, LDAP -h - Display usage I tried modifying the command in various ways: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-<name>/ldif2ldap -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <my DS password> -f /sambaDomainName.ldif and I've even used the /usr/sbin/ldif2ldap executable and have only gotten errors about the usage. From the messages it looks like I don't need the -Z server ID in the command since I have only one instance running on the server. I'm sure I'm missing the obvious but I was hoping an experienced eye might have an easier time finding it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

New install
by Patrick Dupre 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hello, I need help! I got a machine with 1 ssd and on HD. The ssd shows up in sdb, with the HD shows up in sda. I could not change from the BIOS the order. The machine is UEFI, then I guess that it does not really matter. I want to boot on the ssd I installed fedora from the lice cd on the ssd. but it does not boot because the distribution is not seen. Thus, what to do now? I cannot install a grub on the ssd because there is no BIOS Boot Partition on this SSD. Do I need to create one? I cannot make a partition of the SSD bootable with fdisk. How can I make the the Bios seen the distribution? Do I need to install grub?

how now to set ibus (Intelligent Pinyin) font.
by home user 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Good morning, I'm trying to enter Chinese characters using ibus (Intelligent Pinyin). As I enter the pinyin spelling, the Chinese characters show up in small menu. The characters are displayed in a small font that my old eyes have trouble reading. I want them to display in a size 16 kai font (AR PL Ukai CN). I ran ibus-setup, and it is set correctly. I also have the file ~/.i18n which has this line: export FC_LANG=en-US:zh-CN What else do I need to do? thanks, Bill.
