'mutt' issues
by Slade Watkins
Hi all,
I've been wanting to switch from Thunderbird to 'mutt' when dealing with
emails for some time, but unfortunately, I've had numerous issues getting mutt
to actually load my inbox or any folders. I've tried getting it to cache them,
since I only get a small number of new ones each time, but it hasn't respected
the cache either.
At this rate, I've just gone back to Thunderbird even though it has its own
issues I wanted to get away from.
I feel like I might be doing something wrong here. Several Linux kernel
contributors are able to use this without issue, so I'm willing to bet it
might be user error.
Anyone here have any ideas? I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks,
-- Slade

shortcoming of cockpit ?
by old sixpack13
I playing around with F37 Server, Cockpit, btrfs mirror under vbox:
created a mirror with:
mkfs.btrfs -L MyMirror -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
fetched the UUID with:
btrfs fi show
setup the /etc/fstab:
UUID=<MyMirror's-uuid> /home/DATA btrfs device=/dev/sdb, device=/dev/sdc,compress=zstd:1 0 0
or
UUID=<my-uuid-here> /home/DATA btrfs compress=zstd:1 0 0
rebooted
when I look at cockpit's "Storage" I see both disks are mounted, but also at the most right side a exclamation mark for /dev/sdc.
clicking down to the /dev/sdc:
=> "The filesystem is not mounted"
=> "Inconstistent filesystem mount"
=> "The filesystem is currently not mounted but will be mounted on the next boot"
Is it a shortcoming of cockpit ?
cause no hints in dmesg and the mirror is usable e.g. fillable via smbshare and both disk do have the same fill level.

locale screwup
by Tim
Here's a weird one: After a bunch of updates yesterday my system has
changed from Australian locale to American.
How do you even change that post-installation? I see no tool for it.

Drivers for Realtec USB wifi adapters
by Robert McBroom
I have two Realtec USB wifi adapters an rtl8812au and rtl8822bu. For a
while I tracked driver updates on git with varying degrees of success.
Haven't seen anything since the 5.6 kernels. There was some note about a
generalized driver but I don't see anything in ../kernel/drivers or get
the devices enabled on boot.
Has anyone had any updates on these devices?

mean, and how do I fix it?

Did install of Fedora 37 on 128G USB Flash, but then wouldn't show as boot? Until resized EFI System?
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have a Acer Predator Helios 500 that is having startup issues with the Windows
11 it has. Can get it to but from Fedora 37 install ISO, but reboots put it back to
start. Had a 128G flash, so wanted to install on it for testing.
Install seemed to go fine, had it use standard partitions and had it automatically
create. After complete, the Acer would not show the flash as a boot option??
For some reason the default setup had created the EFI System as 600M with
Fat32. On one of my other Fedora machines used gparted to resize it to 63M
and that converted it to Fat16? Then the 128G usb would show up as a boot
option, and seems to work fine.
Questions:
1. Why did the default setup create a 600M partition for EFI Sytem?
2. Not sure if the large size was too large for the Acer or what??
The info on flash that now is working. Just has a whole of the extra space
between the end of current sdb1 and start of sdb2.

Fedora 37 installer only sees 1 of 3 4TB drives on NVMe card
by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
I have 3 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD part number CT4000P3PSSD8 on my card. However, the Fedora installer only sees one of these three SSDs. I tried looking at them using nvme list and only see one (and two separate 256 GB SSDs). I looked into the case, and all three 4 TB drives are there, with lights blinking. I am sorry not to give more relevant info right now (I do not know what to give), but the machine shipped by Dell (the 4 TB drives were purchased separately) is Precision 7920 Tower XCTO Base (it came with the 2 256 GB SSDs).
Many thanks, and best wishes,
Ranjan

Enabling Apache HTTP/2 => Too many open files error
by Richard W.M. Jones
I fixed this now, but I could find virtually no documentation about it
online, so I'm writing this email to document what surely must be a
common problem ...
I wanted to enable HTTP/2 support in Apache on Fedora 38.
I followed the documentation here which worked [although it's way more
complicated than it needs to be, why isn't HTTP/2 the default out of
the box?]
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/http2.html
Anyway the problem I had was that the server worked fine provided
there were not too many clients (and by "too many" I mean a simple
load test with 4-16 clients failed). Apache randomly threw 403
Forbidden errors, but with less load it gave a normal (2xx) response.
The first problem is the error is misleading:
[Wed Feb 22 13:24:52.013780 2023] [core:error] [pid 3047850:tid 3047899] (24)Too many open files: [remote 192.168.0.139:53738] AH00132: file permissions deny server access: /var/www/html/[filename]
If you concentrate on the second part "file permissions deny server
access" -- as I did -- then you'll be looking at file permissions,
SELinux, restorecon, ausearch etc. That's a red herring, there is no
permissions problem.
The real error is the first part "Too many open files".
It turns out that the default open file limit (1024!) is too low. To
change this and fix the problem:
# systemctl edit httpd
This creates an "override" file to which you should add (or you could
just create this file directly):
# cat /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65536
and then restart Apache for the change to take effect.
Why on earth Apache needs > 1024 open files to serve a dozen clients
is not clear at all.
Rich.

Bluetooth LE (BTLE) GATT development for Fedora.
by Steve Underwood
Hi,
Is anyone familiar with BTLE GATT programming for Fedora (or any other
Linux)? I've done some Bluetooth classic programming for Fedora in the
past, and that's very straightforward, using the standard Bluez library
and header files installed by Fedora RPMs. Now I am trying to do GATT
application development and it seems the only way I can do this is to
download the Bluez source code, delve around inside to find the relevant
bits, and work from there. Am I missing something? Should I be able to
do an RPM install of a GATT development development kit?
Regards,
Steve
