Re: Clean Fedora partitions
by Chandana De Silva
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
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

f29 : net-install error - anyone successful?
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! It would seem that there is a bug in f29 net-install ..
The installer breaks with :
dnf.exceptions.TransactionCheckError: sssd-common < 2.0.0-5.f29
conflicts with sssd-nfs-idmap-2.0.0-5.f29.x86_64
Does anyone have an idea about it?
Thank you!

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

Samba & 389 Directory Server Integration
by houser＠nso.edu
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
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?
Thank

how now to set ibus (Intelligent Pinyin) font.
by home user
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.

Fedora 28 persistant printer issue
by Howard Howell
Hi, guys,
My problem is exasperating... I have a canon mf624cw on my
network. It has been there for a couple of years and worked well. when I started to work on my tax stuff, downloads etc. it refused to print. I powered down the router and repowered it. This usually worked because I have MANY systems on my home router wirelessly (about 15 at any one time), so occasionally it loses its little bitty mind. Not ofter, maybe once every 4 or 5 months.
Now given that this didn't bring the printer up, I then did a
ping and the printer responded. Lpq shows the printer not accepting
jobs. Brought up settings, and attempted to delete the printer. NO
JOY. I would unlock, authorize, delete the printer, close the
notification window, close the printer window and settings, reboot just
to make sure the settings took, and bring the system back up.
The printer was still there. Answered pings etc. OK, maybe
the printer has an issue. Powered down the printer, left it over
night, reset it and got the network up on it, confirmed I could ping
it, but still no printing.
OK, maybe the driver or the que is messed up. Again tried to
delte the printer while it was off. No joy. Went to Google, but it
was not my friend in this case.
So after three days of this, I am surrendering to the greaterwisdom.
System is AMD FX 8300 at 2.8Ghz, 15.6GiB memory, AMD Oland,
Gnome 3.28.2 64bit, lots of disk space. Just updated by dnf.
dmesg doesen't show any problems
journalctl doesn't show my any printer stuff.
Printer shows no errors.
printer shows network and can be pinged.
What I think I need is to remove all system references to the
printer. I have tried grep on the /etc directory and sub directories,
but no joy on locating the entries for the printer.
HELPPPP!!
If anyone can tell me all the locations where the printer is referenced
and how to remove the references, I will probably be able to bumble my
way out of this. Or any other suggestions that might work.
Remember I have tried the gui from settings, and the cups 631
network page but with no joy on either. If you think I need to try any
of those again, please post step by step so I can be sure I do what you
say exactly.
Regards,
Les H
