Re: Backing up system
by gmspro
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?

Hi,
I upgraded to F31 late last week and I am missing the MiscFixed 16 font that I prefer using. Where would I find it?
Many thanks,

Plasma System Settings Online Accounts Appears not to Work
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I am running F33 inside a Vmware Player 16 vm and using Plasma as
my desktop. When I go into system settings -> Online Accounts it
displays no accounts are added yet in the middle of the page with a "+
Add New Account" button underneath it. There is also the same button in
the bottom right hand corner. If I click on either button the page title
changes to Accounts > Add New Account and displays a blank page and
there is no text or buttons anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
regards,
Steve

How to Make Fedora 33 portable usb
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
Hello.
Ive tried searching for a clear answer to this without avail.
How would I go about creating a usb bootable (portable) installation of Fedora?
I am aware of the Live Fedora 33 Workstation images. But, for example, when boothing from that, your settings (program setting) are not saved.
How can I have a Fedora usb that I can use on different pcs? Where I have additional software installed? And settings? And maybe even a permanent /home storage space?
Thank you.

btrfs or ext4
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I try to build a home nas to make a dlna server for audio, video and
pictures.
I have 2 disks for the data which I want to be mounted in raid1 (software).
I formated the two disks using btrfs
(mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb)
It works but, up to now, I can't see the advantages of this file system
vs ext4 managed by mdadm.
One disadvantage is that it seems that monitoring the system is not
possible in case of disk failure for instance.
Illuminate me with your knowledge.
Thank you.

systemd automount
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I configured an automount of directories located on a server on my local
network: in the fstab of a computer on the network I put the line:
192.168.1.16:/data /home/patte/data nfs
noauto,rw,user,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30 0 0
It works. If the server is down, no problem, the boot of the computer is OK.
But if the server gets down while the computer is working, this turns in
an awful way: everything on the computer becomes very slow, opening a
file manager takes ages, the ls command does no work and it is
impossible to unmount the directory on which the server is mounted.
Did I forgot an option in the fstab? Is there a way to solve this
problem without shuting down the computer (which also takes ages...).
Thank you for helping.

kdenlive not supporting internal laptop camera?
by Neal Becker
I need to record a video using my laptop builtin camera. The camera works
fine in other apps. I tried kdenlive installed from rpmfusion, but there
doesn't seem to be any choice for the camera input.
Settings/configure kdenlive/capture only has tabs for:
screencapture, blackmagic, and audio. When I search the web it seems I
should have a tab for ffmpeg, but it's not there. It does appear from
help/about that kdenlive was built with ffmpeg.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neal

many F33 deltarpm rebuilds failing with md5 mismatch error
by Andre Robatino
In the last few days, I've noticed that F33 deltarpm rebuilds often fail with an md5 mismatch error. This would happen occasionally before but happens almost all the time now. Has this been reported? I don't see anything in bugzilla.

automount requests
by Greg Woods
My logwatch each day has dozens of messages like this:
pub.automount: Got automount request for /pub, triggered by 242640
(PT3122): 1 Time(s)
I want to determine why this is happening, because the drive
containing /pub (on a different machine mounted via NFS) is spun down when
idle, and these events are likely causing it to spin up. My understanding
is that the part inside the parentheses is the command name of the process
that triggered it, but I don't know what the "PT" syntax means.
Thanks for any info,
--Greg
