Rclone issue with Google Drive
by Patrick O'Callaghan 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

The current version of Rclone from the Fedora repo is 1.57.0. What isn't clear until you look more closely is that this is a development version. It identifies itself as: rclone: Version "v1.57.0-DEV" The upshot is that when connecting to Google Drive the authentication token expires after 7 days and has to be manually refreshed via a web page. This is a PITA for those of us who want to leave an rclone sync or mount daemon running in the background. I discovered this on asking on the Rclone forum: https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-drive-requires-manual-refresh-every-7-day… I've now uninstalled the Fedora version and installed the "official" version from the Rclone site. I'll know if that solved the problem in a week's time. Unlike most other packages, development versions of Rclone cannot avoid this issue because of the way they are registered by the Google API, so should not be distributed as part of the base system. poc

why are / and /home the same filesystem?
by Paolo Galtieri 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Folks, today I ran into a strange problem. Both the root file system and the /home filesystem showed 100% usage: df -l Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 4096 0 4096 0% /dev tmpfs 32793004 0 32793004 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 13117204 2512 13114692 1% /run /dev/nvme0n1p10 283625472 281920988 735540 100% / tmpfs 32793008 11612 32781396 1% /tmp /dev/nvme0n1p10 283625472 281920988 735540 100% /home /dev/nvme0n1p8 463826 258874 176485 60% /boot /dev/nvme0n1p7 487160 14280 472880 3% /boot/efi tmpfs 6558600 196 6558404 1% /run/user/1000 tmpfs 6558600 88 6558512 1% /run/user/0 When I did a du -s of my home directory it showed only 96GB used. sudo du -s /home/* 96910360 /home/pgaltieri The problem turned out to be a large file in /usr/local. When I removed this file both / and /home dropped in their usage: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 4096 0 4096 0% /dev tmpfs 32793004 0 32793004 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 13117204 2616 13114588 1% /run */dev/nvme0n1p10* 283625472 187104116 95417980 67% / tmpfs 32793008 11860 32781148 1% /tmp */dev/nvme0n1p10* 283625472 187104116 95417980 67% /home /dev/nvme0n1p8 463826 258874 176485 60% /boot /dev/nvme0n1p7 487160 14280 472880 3% /boot/efi tmpfs 6558600 204 6558396 1% /run/user/1000 so why are / and /home the same device?

Acer Chromebook 15
by Michael Hennebry 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Is it possible to put fedora on an Acer Chromebook 15? I've been trying to no avail. Google has shown me lots of sets of directions for booting from USB, none of which have worked. I've gotten it to the point that it claims OS checking is off, but then it goes to chrome. Grrr. Should I just throw out the chromebook? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

laptop failing with latest kernel update
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

hello, I performed a normal update today after some time without updating, which I believed contained a kernel update (to 5.16.5-100.fc34.x86_64 I believe). After doing the update and rebooting my pc started behaving erratically. Bootup time was longer, then it sort of got stuck, then some problems were reported by the reporting app in Gnome. My computer was simply malfunctioning all over the place, sometimes freezing completely. Decided to boot to the previous kernel (5.15.16-100.fc34.x86_64) and my pc is back to normal. The Reporting app does not let me send a report saying "The backtrace does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be reported. It is annoying but it does not necessarily indicate a problem with your computer. ABRT will not allow you to create a report in a bug tracking system but you can contact kernel maintainers via e-mail." How should I report this issue in this case? How can I change the grub boot default for now to boot to the older kernel by default? or should I try reverting (removing updated kernel) to the older kernel altogether for now? thank you, Anil F

NFS client names not mapping
by Robert Nichols 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

In a Fedora 35 VM, all users and groups in an NFS mounted filesystem are mapped to "nobody" even though the names and numeric IDs are the same on the server and client. The messages logged are of the form: "name 'xxxx@local' does not map into domain 'localdomain'" I have no nfs-idmapd service running. This same setup is running fine on a CentOS 8 VM. I didn't have to do anything special to make this work in CentOS 8. What am I missing here in a Fedora 35 installed with default configuration in a QEMU/KVM virtual machine? Where does Fedora get its domain name? When I type "hostname --fqdn" I get "hostname: Name or service not known". The CentOS 8 VM apparently gets its domain name from the /etc/hostname file, which contains "cent9-vm.local". This does not appear to work in Fedora 35. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

Does anybody still use `starship'?
by Igor Raits 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Hello, I saw some recent discussions (yet another time) how packaging Rust / Go / Node.js is horrible, we should simply bundle everything and such. Let's not discuss this here, though. I'm interested to hear if there are any users of the `starship' application here in Fedora that consume it from the repositories. Please speak up if you do! As pointed out in the other places, I don't think we are able to update things like that as fast as releases popping out with just as few people working on the packaging Rust stack these days (I'm pretty much not contributing for last couple years due to the other work). And the question, if we want to keep packaging it (with some slower update cycle, as the time permits) or we want to retire it completely. Personally, I'd love to have more people working on packaging (and most importantly keeping up-to-date) Rust crates / apps but I think this is not so realistic :) -- — Igor Raits.

LibreOffice Calc chart printout missing axes and gridlines.
by home user 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Good morning, I'm not sure if the problem is in LibreOffice or something else. Also, I did try to post this in LibreOffice support, but my login does not work, and trying to create a new account does not work. (Fedora-34, Gnome, LibreOffice 7.1.8.1, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw) I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet. It has a chart. On my workstation monitor, the chart looks as I desire: border, x and y axes, legend, axis labels, data curves, tick marks along the axes, and a grid in the plot area. When I print the chart to a PDF file and then display the PDF file, it look the same as in LibreOffice Calc. But, when in LibreOffice Calc, I print to the printer, there are no axes and no grid lines. How do I get the axes and grid lines to show? Thank-you in advance. Bill.

Interactive task scheduling (system) ? How do I run a list of tasks consecutively on a server ?
by linux guy 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hi people. I'm using a server to run a bunch of simulations. By bunch I mean hundreds. Each simulation takes from 10 minutes to 10 hours to run. All of the simulations are run from the command line. Every day I generate more simulation cases. I'm looking for a method/system/app that I can give a list of tasks that will run them on the server, automatically, one after another. How could I do this ? Thanks
