Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 17 May '21

17 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg

Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter (explicit setting exists)...

With today's updates I saw these messages: Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_source_route (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/accept_source_route (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/all/promote_secondaries (explicit setting exists). Not setting net/ipv4/conf/default/promote_secondaries (explicit setting exists). Should I care?

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?

vncserver program disappered on FC32??
by Michael D. Setzer II 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Have two machines running Fedora 32, and just noticed with the latest update of tigervnc-server the vncserver is GONE? Did a downgrade on both machines, and it is back and running just fine. The one machine had rebooted, and therefor wasn't able to load the server. The other machine still had the server running from before the upgrade, so was able to vnc into it. The file from the /usr/bin director was just no longer there. Tried a reinstall, and still no file. Only the downgrade option restored it?? Not sure on how to report this. Didn't notice it until trying to vnc into machine that had rebooted? The dnf whatprovides shows that the program is included, so not sure what kind of error is in the latest update??

Dragora bollixed?
by Beartooth 28 Dec '20

28 Dec '20

I'm running F33 Mate, but I think I was also seeing the problem I'm asking about under at least F32, and maybe also earlier. Dragora has two icons that I can put on a panel. One of them is supposed to be an updater. It works, afaict. The other seems intended to do what it used to: permit me to slice and dice lists of apps, and to install or remove them. On any new install I used to use it heavily, eliminating apps I knew I'd never use, and adding ones not present by default that I do use. Both icons do only the check for updates. Have I damaged something? Or is the exhaustive form deprecated?? If so, is there a replacement? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Odd screen rotation misbehavior
by Matthew Saltzman 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

I have a Lenovo Yoga X1 (2nd gen) with Intel graphics, running GNOME (fully up to date). Recently, the screen rotation lock control in the system menu (drop-down in the upper right corner) disappeared and the screen stopped auto-rotating. I had been running in Xorg mode because certain Zoom features don't work under Wayland. At some point, I switched to Wayland mode and the control reappeared and auto-rotation started working. That worked for a while, but then the control disappeared again. I switched back to Xorg mode and the control is back. Anyone have any idea what's going on and/or how I can get consistent behavior? Thanks for any hints. -- Matthew Saltzman School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Clemson University mjs AT clemson DOT edu
