Hi Again Everyone,

Looking at other threads on this group, it looks like for EL6, only 
1.2.11 is available.


Correct.  And just to be clear, 1.2.11 is not going to be discontinued - 
only the 1.2.11 COPR repos are going to be discontinued.  Updates to 
1.2.11 will still be available in EL6 from your EL vendor.


The latest official version is 1.2.11.15-48.el6_6.  Does this contain 
all the changes from the COPR versions? From the Release Notes, it 
looks like the last available was 1.2.11.32?


It should - are there any bug fixes or features in particular that you 
wanted to know about?




Thanks,
Trev

Subject: [389-users] Switching from 389-ds-base 1.2.11 to 1.3.3

Hi Everyone,

I’m afraid this will be a total newb question.

I’m currently running 389 DS 1.2.11.29-1.el6 and have seen the notice 
that 1.2.11.X will be discontinued soon (as of 24-Oct-2014).  [It 
probably has already been discontinued since the COPR repository is no 
longer there.]


I’d like to switch from 1.2.11 to 1.3.3.5 and have yum downgraded to 
1.2.11.15-48.el6_6.
However, when I try to yum upgrade 389-ds-base 389-ds-base-devel 
389-ds-base-libs” it tells me No Packages marked for Update”.  Am I 
doing something wrong?


I’ve followed the directions on 
http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/download.html and 
epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm is already installed.  [That doc is still 
telling me to install the temporary COPR, by-the-way.]


Thanks in advance,
Trev

Well, how long do you think it will take until the component is

Well this did the trick and now I have pages of smartctl report on the 
drive, including a number of errors.


This is an old system, and this drive has been running non-stop for 3 
years.  But so too has the internal drive; actually longer.


So I am working on building a replacement for this server.  The system 
will be a Cubieboard2 running either Redsleeve6 or Fedora21. Would have 
been nice to have Centos7 as an option, but still no progress on the C7

One approach is these messages are not major and the drive is good for a 
couple more years (new 2.5 1Tb internal drive for the server).  The 
other is I found a Fantom Professional 2TB for under $70 (I had to 
delete some old Fedora repos as I only had 50Gb left on a 1TB drive).


Decisions.  Decisions.

If very few parts have not been adopted, the chances for this component

This is not about a test or development release. It is about new

functionality is a good or bad thing. This is very much a user related 
discussion and as such it is not off-topic on this mailing list.


In my book, an open discussion is always better than no discussion. You 
may have other views on this though...


I find the technical discussion on this subject quite interesting, and 
an open discussion may lead to a better understanding of the objective 
for the new component and whether it is of use for the normal user or 
not, or whether it is duplicating work already done (that very well 
might lead to security issues etc.).

Yes.  I understood that fine.  I was pointing out which parts have been

different components which haven't been adopted nor even proposed because
they are simply not yet ready or not general purpose enough to be used by

GRUB setup (after using clonezilla)

2014-12-01 Thread Angelo Moreschini
Hi,

I tried Clonezilla.
I made an image-backup of  the disk where Fedora is installed, and after I
restored, on the same disk, the image that I backuped .
Actually, when I boot the disk where there is the restored image,at the
begin I get  the prompt of the GRUB .

I know that I didn't use Clonezilla in correct mode (probabilly I could
backup the disck with better option to include the GRUB installation) .
But in this moment I woud like to make setup of GRUB (from the command
line) for booting Fedora.

Can I have some suggestions how to do it?

From the prompt of GRUB I wrote this command line:
and I got this output:

---
GRUB  ls -l
device proc: filesystem type procfs sector size 512 total size 0KiB
device hd0: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size ...
  partition hd0, msdos2: no know filesystem detected partion start at

  partition hd0, msdos1: filesystem type ext* last mod ..partion start
at .. tot sz
device hd1: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size ...
  partition hd1, msdos1: filesystem type ext* label try_clonezilla last
mod. ...partion start at .. tot sz


Thenk you

Well, if they are not yet ready or not general purpose enough to be used

products and does not need any more.


But what happens when they are ready? Will they be part of Fedora then?

What ready parts, or what not general purpose enough parts of systemd

It makes perfect sense. It will with huge probability make it into

I have been on the RedHat/Fedora lists since about 1996 and seen the 
progress of the different list and (endless?) discussions about what to 
discuss and what not to discuss. And judging from that experience, I see 
no harm whatsoever in discussing new functionality that (eventually) 
will make it into Fedora default and thereby affect the users of Fedora.


The issue being discussed in this thread has nothing to do with test 
releases and has because of that nothing to do on the test list. It has 
nothing to do with the development releases (rawhide) and has because of 
that nothing to do on the fedora-devel list. But again, this will affect 
the users of Fedora, and this list is about the users of Fedora.


Rahul, precisely where in the guidelines does it say that it is, on this 
list, prohibited to discuss new functionality in a package used by 
Fedora, functionality that with huge probability will make into Fedora? 
And if it is prohibited here, where should it be discussed (out of the 
Fedora mailing lists)?

As systemd is (a huge) part of Fedora, and what we discuss is a new 
feature in systemd, it will, eventually, affect the users of Fedora. It 
is therefore, by definition, a users issue. A users issue that is very

That is by no means a good assumption but even if you take that assumption
as a given, it is not a good justification.  This is exactly why I provided
the analogy of development releases of Fedora.  What is in a test or
development release of Fedora will become part of Fedora regular releases
typically but even then, it is a good reason to discuss developmental
releases of Fedora in this list.  There is a separate mailing list for
that.   You are supposed to use that list instead.  In a similar way,
development branches of systemd has its own mailing list for discussing
such functionality called systemd-devel list.   Use that list if you are so
keen on discussing development branches of systemd.

 By that account why would rawhide or test releases be considered

Honestly, I don't think constructive, on-topic discussion of those
things is too far off-topic. Discussion of actual development or
test releases, sure, but I don't think it'd be bad for someone to talk
about, for example, how OverlayFS might be used in Fedora.

If the thread goes off the rails and outside of the scope of
community assistance, encouragement, and advice — not to mention the
Friends foundation — that's a different story.

And in any case, a big back and forth about what is or isn't on topic
isn't helping anyone either. :(

 Hi,

 I tried Clonezilla.
 I made an image-backup of  the disk where Fedora is installed, and after I
 restored, on the same disk, the image that I backuped .
 Actually, when I boot the disk where there is the restored image,at the
 begin I get  the prompt of the GRUB .

 I know that I didn't use Clonezilla in correct mode (probabilly I could
 backup the disck with better option to include the GRUB installation) .
 But in this moment I woud like to make setup of GRUB (from the command line)
 for booting Fedora.

 Can I have some suggestions how to do it?

 From the prompt of GRUB I wrote this command line:
 and I got this output:

 ---
 GRUB  ls -l
 device proc: filesystem type procfs sector size 512 total size 0KiB
 device hd0: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size ...
   partition hd0, msdos2: no know filesystem detected partion start at ..

   partition hd0, msdos1: filesystem type ext* last mod ..partion start
 at .. tot sz
 device hd1: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size ...
   partition hd1, msdos1: filesystem type ext* label try_clonezilla last
 mod. ...partion start at .. tot sz
 

 I'm not following this really. GRUB2 doesn't do setup from command
 line, and its command line doesn't accept 'ls -l' as a command.

Interesting. UEFI systems with GRUB consider ls -l considers -l an
invalid filename so I get an error. But on BIOS systems, this command
does work.

Anyway, if you find Fedora netinstall or DVD media, and add boot
parameter 'rescue' (without the quotes) then you'll get a rescue
interface. Accept all the defaults for each page, and then at the end
when you get the prompt do

# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub2-install /dev/sdX ## where X is the letter designation for your drive
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

This installs GRUBs parts, and will also create a new grub.cfg. The
old grub.cfg would probably work so it's possible you could skip
creating a new one.

I would suggest that the thread is off the rails long time back and not
enforcing the list guidelines and keeping the list on topic leads to us,
unable to point our own users to the list for help because they have to
wade through rants.  A similar problem already plagued the #fedora IRC
channel before more people stepped in.  I along with several others spend
hours every week on moderation in Ask Fedora to keep the content focused on
helping users.  I think the results are pretty clear.

With all due respect, it's very clear to me that systemd is a game changer
and has invoked very intense and concerned responses from the entire Linux
community.

It's not sensible to just say not here.  Fedora is supposed to be a
testing ground for future Redhat releases; as such, its community is--or
should be--a valuable canary for response from Redhat end users in the
future.  That there is so much concern about systemd tells me there is a
problem--whether technical, or perceptual--that should be resolved *here*,
not in the Redhat release channels.  Resolution here can be used by Redhat
in their commercial venue.

Again, with all due respect, my suggestion is to convince Fedora users that
the decision to migrate to systemd is a good idea.  They're your advocates
and concept testers.  Just telling them to shut up, out of scope seems a
bad idea.

Good thing nobody did that then, right?  With all due respect, you can't
argue against your own made up quote.  As to the question of response from
Red Hat,  in case you haven't noticed,   RHEL 7 already has shipped with
it.  Ranting about developmental features in systemd in a *users* list is
hardly a good way to provide feedback to either Fedora or Red Hat.

Perhaps at some point we will get better tools for using systemd.  I 
mean compare:


systemctl restart sshd.service

with

service sshd restart

Is there something else to do with sshd other than sshd.service?  I have 
not found it.  Why not:


systemctl restart sshd

The 'd' at the end of the name has always implied service.  This is the 
default mode.  Perhaps there is more, but those that work with 'more' 
will tend to know 'more'.


Then there was good old 'chkconfig' that produced a nice tablular report 
of services that can be controlled.  I have yet to find anything close 
to this with systemd.


Perhaps much of the complaining and doom and gloom is that systemV was 
'easy' to work with where as systemd is presented as too rich of an 
environment to interact with.

You think

Nah.  No way.

Oh, and that (perferred) gives an error  :)

And the list is hugh compared to what services are really up to user

dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service   enabled

Well, it was originally meant to be default in Fedora 14 and there were
many discussions about it.  it is been years since that point. Perhaps
people didn't pay attention to it and didn't realize it but it wasn't snuck
in when people weren't looking.  There were literally hundreds of mails on

I don't mind the feedback at all.  In fact, if it was more useful,  I would

There will always be new participants, and we all know the Linux crowd can
be...volatile...when they're surprised.  Yes, it may not be right that
they're surprised, if there was a lot of discussion, but that is the
reality.  Some people don't pay attention, some are new since the
discussion, etc.  Normally, this wouldn't matter.  But systemd is not
normal.

I thorougly appreciate your time and effort.  I've been in the volunteer
arena numerous times; every time, it's ended in exhaustion, firm decision
never again--and then I'm back.  Volunteer organizations will use you and
drain you; for some reason, we always come back.  It's probably some sort
of addiction.

 For my part, I have been trying to improve the quality of the documentation

That is intensely needed.  I think either new material explaining exactly
why systemd is needed, and good, is critical.  If it already exists,
collected pointers are just as good (if not better).

fork.  Whether it amounts to anything in practice remains to be seen.

Thanks for the link, not all Debian has gone to the dark side...

In the mean time I will format fedora and load pclinuxos and keep a eye
on Devuan.

Re: GRUB setup (after using clonezilla)

2014-12-01 Thread Angelo Moreschini
Hi Chris
I can not tell you from where comes the grub prompt, because it came, to
me, by chance.

But if I type help, then comes a long list of commands, including 'l' ...
However, I can not nor to print this list and even I cannot  read it,
because I can not stop the scroll of the screen.



I tried what you suggested:
at the boot prompt I typed rescue,  but I got: coluld not find kernel
image..
---
boot  rescue
coluld not find kernel image..
--

can you explain me ?

thank you

  Hi,
 
  I tried Clonezilla.
  I made an image-backup of  the disk where Fedora is installed, and
 after I
  restored, on the same disk, the image that I backuped .
  Actually, when I boot the disk where there is the restored image,at the
  begin I get  the prompt of the GRUB .
 
  I know that I didn't use Clonezilla in correct mode (probabilly I could
  backup the disck with better option to include the GRUB installation) .
  But in this moment I woud like to make setup of GRUB (from the command
 line)
  for booting Fedora.
 
  Can I have some suggestions how to do it?
 
  From the prompt of GRUB I wrote this command line:
  and I got this output:
 
  ---
  GRUB  ls -l
  device proc: filesystem type procfs sector size 512 total size 0KiB
  device hd0: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size
 ...
partition hd0, msdos2: no know filesystem detected partion start
 at ..
  tot size
partition hd0, msdos1: filesystem type ext* last mod ..partion
 start
  at .. tot sz
  device hd1: no know filesystem detected sector size 512 B total size
 ...
partition hd1, msdos1: filesystem type ext* label try_clonezilla
 last
  mod. ...partion start at .. tot sz
  
 
  I'm not following this really. GRUB2 doesn't do setup from command
  line, and its command line doesn't accept 'ls -l' as a command.

 Interesting. UEFI systems with GRUB consider ls -l considers -l an
 invalid filename so I get an error. But on BIOS systems, this command
 does work.

 Anyway, if you find Fedora netinstall or DVD media, and add boot
 parameter 'rescue' (without the quotes) then you'll get a rescue
 interface. Accept all the defaults for each page, and then at the end
 when you get the prompt do

 # chroot /mnt/sysimage
 # grub2-install /dev/sdX ## where X is the letter designation for your
 drive
 # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

 This installs GRUBs parts, and will also create a new grub.cfg. The
 old grub.cfg would probably work so it's possible you could skip
 creating a new one.
