I see you got your answer on the rpmfusion list.

When you have a problem with akmods you can check /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log 
for information about what when wrong.

Re: Windows 8 Dual boot lost after Fedora upgrade

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this. Just had a fantastic honeymoon, but now back in the real 
world and onwards with trying to fix this.

  I've finally decided to have a go at fixing the problem where the Windows

 This suggests the computer does not have Secure Boot enabled, because
 Fedora's GRUB has never support UEFI Secure Boot chainloading of the
 Windows bootloader. The fact the GRUB menu entry used to work, and now
 doesn't, suggests some other problem.

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1098EFF798EFD96C

 Is this the correct UUID for the Windows volume? Check with blkid.
 grub2-mkconfig will get this right, which is why it should be used
 instead of a static configuration.

  ./efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

 This being the only thing in /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft is perplexing.
 I'm expecting a lot more stuff in here than this. So yet again I
 wonder if maybe this EFI System partition was inadvertently formatted
 when doing a Fedora installation? It's not difficult to accidentally
 delete it, I've found.

The folder /efi/EFI/Microsoft did not exist, which tends to confirm your 
suspicion that the the partition was reformatted during the upgrade.  I 
manually created the folder and copied bootmgfw.efi from \Windows\Boot\EFI\


 But the fact is that you're not seemingly getting an error from this
 OSLoader, you're getting it from GRUB not finding this path which
 suggests the menu entry is malformed somehow.

 Suggestions:

 - Move /etc/grub.d/40_custom out of that directory so it doesn't get
 used, but is still retained in case you want to revert.
 - run
 grub2-mkconfig -o ~/Downloads/grub.cfg

 post that grub.cfg somewhere or maybe it'll all paste into the mailing
 list which is fine too, I want to see the whole thing *unless* it
 doesn't have a Windows menu entry listed in it. If it doesn't then I'm
 going to guess that /etc/default/grub has os-prober disabled. If so
 that needs to be commented out and you need to rerun the
 grub2-mkconfig command.

 I know how to edit grub menus using e..  since I have multiple ( mostly

 kernel update RPMs call new-kernel-pkg which in turn call grubby, but
 none of that stuff ever touches any installed bootloader code. The
 only thing modified is the grub.cfg. I don't know how/why, but it's
 possible the modification of the grub.cfg is actually corrupting it
 but then GRUB should complain if it can't parse grub.cfg

 Sounds like this is a computer with BIOS firmware. On BIOS, Fedora
 puts grub.cfg at /boot/grub2/, and on UEFI it's at
 /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/.


mine was Windows 7, so it is BIOS.. I always do grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

before I do the next update I'll copy grub.cfg, then run the update 
diff.. now, waiting for the next new kernel:)

 When you have a problem with akmods you can check 
 /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log for information about what when wrong. 

Same thing happened to me. I fixed it by checking the log and rerunning
the modulebuild script manually.

This was discussed on several recent threads (search for nvidia in the
Subject) and is fast becoming a FAQ. The basic issue is that the akmod
install script compiles the source module against the new kernel,
creating a new rpm. It then tries to install the rpm, but the rpm
database is already locked by a different process (presumably the dnf
run that called the script in the first place, though I haven't
verified this). The rpm install fails but the user isn't told directly,
and when he reboots there is no nvidia module available for the new
kernel. I suspect that this happens to those of us who run dnf directly
from the Shell. I understand that the GUI tool under Gnome reboots into
a special image before actually doing the installation, which therefore
avoids the problem, but I don't use Gnome or GUI installation tools so
this is pure conjecture.

 Next time you update, save a copy of /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg,
 then run grub2-mkconfig.

 You can compare them to see the changes:
 diff -u saved-grub.cfg /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

 That should tell you what's breaking when you update.
there is no grub.cfg in fedora, only:
ls
BOOT.CSV  gcdx64.efi  grubx64.efi shim.efi
fonts grubenv MokManager.efi  shim-fedora.efi


grub.cfg is in /boot/grub2, but I will try that next time, thanks!

Well, since I was using a pipe, I assume swap backed memory is used.
However, the un-tar process is running in parallel, so the RAM
pipe is shared between the producer tar and the consumer
tar, which populates the destination directory with the contents
of the source directory.
That said, I do not think that the entirety of the source dir is first

Just my guess. I have not looked at tar's source code.



ok. you have now thrown in *pipe* and process *un-tar*.

are you using tar to pass files to target and have them end up as separate
files, or as a single archive file?

ria, all i see in your original post is tar -C /sdc1 -xpvf which would
indicate archiving to a single file.

just what is your actual command line?

ok. that does make for better understanding.

i stopped using tar years ago in favor of cpio, which has more advantages,
when i was using tape for archiving. works well with usb memory and usb
hdd drives. in fact, when i archive paths between hdd partitions or drives,
i use cpio instead of cp -R.

to perform same using cpio, command line would be;

  find path2BigDirArchive -depth -print0 | sort | cpio -p -adm  /sdc1
or
  find . -depth -print0 | sort | cpio -p -adm  /sdc1

in above, -p is 'copy-pass mode', equivalent to | and -x in tar.

because you are having response time issues with usb, i believe you will
find cpio to be more favorable than using tar.

There is a beta release criteria for this:

Hardware and firmware RAID
The installer must be able to detect and install to hardware or
firmware RAID storage devices.

And there are test cases, and there's an entry for software raid in
the test matrix. So it should get tested multiple times per build, and
there will be a dozen builds pre-alpha, pre-beta, and pre-final. So
it's a bit surprising this is so easy to hit (the bug report has
someone hitting it in virtual box).

Obviously this can't be fixed with official media, you could roll your
own workstation installer compose and instead use kernel 4.0.5 which
should fix this bug, and then you'd be able to install F22 to this
existing software raid.

Alas, rolling my own workstation installer is beyond my present skill
level.  I must decide whether to wait for Fedora 23, or to back up
everything and let the F22 installer have a crack at creating a new
raid1 array with LVMs on top of it.

Thanks again for the help,

This is a message in the installer itself? Or is this a GNOME
notification (a floating thing from the top-center)? I'm going to
guess it's not in the installer because I've always seen it spit out
the exact error message into the anaconda.log (or program.log if it's
a helper program's error) and I don't see that in your attached logs.
But I also don't see it in the journal either, so... I'm baffled
exactly what system error it's referring to as well as this supposed

Goofy cakes. OK so that suggests PV metadata is recognized, but for
some reason the VG/LV's are actually activated for some reason. This
could be a variation of bug 825236, which causes linux installs on LVM
to be recognized by grub-mkconfig; but you don't have the problem on
Fedora 20 which is likewise afflicted. At least the VG should be
available so you can add (space permitting) new LVs. But if the LV's
aren't made active and listed, you couldn't shrink any of them to make
room to make additional ones.

Blek.

So as a work around for Fedora 22's installer, I wonder if this oops
is fatal or if you can assemble the array with mdadm -A before
launching the installer, get the array going again, then lvchange -ay
to activate the LVs, and then launch the installer. Either it'll see
the LV's now, *OR* you get another kernel oops and the array stops
again making everything go away.

If the former, work around seems likely. If the latter, then you'd
need to build your own installer ISO swapping out the kernel version
for 4.0.5 or greater which should fix the problem.


 Alas, rolling my own workstation installer is beyond my present skill
 level.  I must decide whether to wait for Fedora 23, or to back up
 everything and let the F22 installer have a crack at creating a new
 raid1 array with LVMs on top of it.

Seeing as this is broken in two different ways with Fedora 21 and 22,
it would benefit the project, other users, and yourself, to test this
in Fedora 23 at some point. And if it's still not working, file a new
bug if the failure doesn't match up with one of the existing bug
reports, and mark as a blocker. More info on test@ list how to go
about doing this.

It doesn't.

Aeskulap may compile, but won't work because the Dicom Toolkit provided by F22

fully backwards compatible to the (older) version needed by the F21
aeskulap package.

The proper solution mentioned here in the corresponding thread is
either installing the F21 rpm together with the F21 Dicom Toolkit, or
replacing the F22 Dicom Toolkit with the latest from F21 and
recompiling a recent version of aeskulap.

Thanks!

http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/audit-events.html




Title
-
Parse audit-able events from 389/directory server access logs

Overview

A utility is required to parse 389/directory server access logs whose
output is a well defined record (event) of the LDAP request and any 
resultant

responses. Each event would contain the initiating host address and the
current authenticated DN to make subsequent entity access analysis 
more efficient.


In essence, generate a single event for every operation (common op=) 
performed
for a unique connection. The events need to be well formed and 
consideration given
to further downstream parsing. As the access log records are well 
documented,
the output event should minimize changes to the content (if changed at 
all).


The utility would need to support time based queries. That is, generate
events between a given start and end time. Note that if the connection
and authentication occurs BEFORE the given start time, this detail
still needs to decorate the event output.

The utility would need to indicate if the authenticated DN or initiating
client could not be ascertained. That is, the information is NOT in the
file(s) processed.

Optionally can ignore internal operations.

Use Cases
-

The following cases show a logfile extract and resultant parsed output.
The output is in XML. Other well formed and parsable output could be
chosen (eg json) - the intent is that downstream capability needs to
parse the information.

#1
Extract:

[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 fd=608 slot=608 connection from

Have you actually measured its real write speed for large files? Try

Everyone,

I have been in dialog with the Fedora maintainer of aeskulap, Ankur
Sinha, and he is working to get it ready for F22.  He has filled a bug
report for dcmtk.

Ankur's response to one of my e-mails is as follows:
 
 No worries. I looked at the error, but it probably requires me to look
 into dcmtk changes to fix it. I've filed a bug here for the time
 being:
 
 https://github.com/pipelka/aeskulap/issues/2
 
 This seems to be the original author of aeskulap, so I'm hopeful that
 we'll have a fix.

system response issue

2015-07-13 Thread jd1008

I started a tar command from
one external eSATA drive (ext4), connected to eSATA port,
out to a USB flash drive (with vfat). The USB stick is touted
to support 50MB/s write, 160MB/s read.
The USB port itself is USB 2.0 (480MBits/s).

The desktop (Mate) response goes down the tubes.
I ran top and found that cpu is only 3% usage by firefox.
rest are a few at 1%, and rest showing 0%.

Load average: load average: 5.95, 5.81, 6.05

Wow Why?

I ran iotop -d 3 and found
 3263 be/4 root0.00 B/s0.00 B/s  0.00 % 99.99 % [kworker/u16:3]
   61 be/4 root0.00 B/s0.00 B/s  0.00 % 99.99 % [kswapd0]

Processes that are started but idle:

1 instance of smplayer (idle - nothing being played)
2 instances of TB (for 2 different profiles) - idle - no incoming or 
outgoing emails.

   both check for mail every so many minutes.
1 instance of FF with a total of 6 tabs - all of them idle (no videos, 
no audios on them

and no animations.).

So, it seems that the scheduler is letting the disk io pretty much
commandeer and hijack system response time for the DT.

Is there a configuration tweak to grant more cycles to the DT (mouse, 
KB) interaction

with other GUI based programs?

USB flash drives only work efficiently at multiples of their internal

for info on how flash drives actually work; hint: every write requires
the entire block to be zeroed and then overwritten). The claimed I/O
speed of these devices is achievable, just not under real conditions
with a generic driver.

 As  I just replied with the actual read/write performance data
 on this USB 3.0 SUperTalentExpress Drive (256GB), I am
 much more surprised by the fact that while tarring a large
 dir to it from a fast eSATA drive, the system becomes nearly
 unusable!!!
 So, if this shtick is so slow, why is writing to it killing the 
 response
 time for everything else?

IIRC USB drives are not DMA driven, i.e. each filesystem block written
to the drive has to be pushed over the serial bus and handled by the
CPU. Also, check if the drive is mounted with the 'flush' option, which
sacrifices speed for greater integrity (i.e. less damage of the user
pulls the drive without ejecting it).

It'd be nice if the installer could provide some error handling for
such cases, but really a kernel oops is something that just shouldn't
happen. Had this been reported and marked as a blocker for Fedora 22,
I'm very confident it would have been accepted as a blocker because it
very clearly violates a beta release criterion.

This is a QA recruitment drive! The testing matrix for Fedora has
really exploded lately, and all the features in the installer's custom

increasingly likely) that bugs won't get caught unless the testing
base keeps up with the feature additions.

The exact wording of the message is:

This is a message in the installer itself? Or is this a GNOME
notification (a floating thing from the top-center)? I'm going to
guess it's not in the installer because I've always seen it spit out
the exact error message into the anaconda.log (or program.log if it's
a helper program's error) and I don't see that in your attached logs.
But I also don't see it in the journal either, so... I'm baffled
exactly what system error it's referring to as well as this supposed
recovery. GNOME bug... haha.

However if I press the tilde/back tick key I get a les than sign ()
and if I press shift-tilde I get a greater than sign ()

Anyone know how to enable the proper behavior for these keys?

So much for 50MB/s write speed

Testing the read speed:

$ time dd if=/run/media/jd/USB3_ST1-2K/F3296296960 of=/dev/null bs=8M

So much for 160MB/s read.

Have you actually measured its real write speed for large files? Try
something like:

time dd if=/dev/zero of=/the/usb/drive count=1000 bs=1M

You might be surprised.

As  I just replied with the actual read/write performance data
on this USB 3.0 SUperTalentExpress Drive (256GB), I am
much more surprised by the fact that while tarring a large
dir to it from a fast eSATA drive, the system becomes nearly
unusable!!!
So, if this shtick is so slow, why is writing to it killing the response
time for everything else?

IIRC USB drives are not DMA driven, i.e. each filesystem block written
to the drive has to be pushed over the serial bus and handled by the
CPU. Also, check if the drive is mounted with the 'flush' option, which
sacrifices speed for greater integrity (i.e. less damage of the user
pulls the drive without ejecting it).

poc

Good tip. I will check next time when I rerun the test.

i agree with 'poc' 100% with both of his statements.

also, i think you might want to rethink your thinking.

you say you are connecting to a usb2 port and device is a usb3.

near all reading of spec for usb3 devices that will work on usb2
have a statement that thru put speeds will be less if used on usb2.

more for thought, is tar building finale file in memory, /tmp, or
on the usb3 drive?
