Hello Tom,

I have the following display cards on my laptop and experienced the
same thing until I blacklisted nouveau from the grub argument

 lspci | grep -E '3D|VGA'

So, boot up with the supplied disc, check things work, pull out that 
disc, and store it somewhere (or leave it bolted-in but unplugged) for 
that moment you need to deal with them.


Put in your new disc, install what you want, use it by itself.

If dual booting is not your thing, and you only want the other drive for 
that one time you might have to deal with your supplier, it's easier to 
completely remove the original disc from your normal operating condition.

Do you have any idea how it was partitioned originally?

Well, yes. A DOS disk (not-GPT) can only have four primary partitions.
If you're going to have more than four, then at least one must be
an extended partition (typically the fourth partition or /dev/sdd4) and
any partitions above 4 live INSIDE partition 4. In the above example,
/dev/sdd4 should be type 5 (EXTENDED), then /dev/sdd5 and /dev/sdd6
would live inside /dev/sdd4.


I think those partition types are equivalent, but that's definitely the 
least of the problems there.

You don't say why you think it's wrong.  I do see that there are some 
strange gaps.   Particularly the first partition is nowhere near the

Where are you getting that number?  Fdisk says that the harddisk size is

Anyone with a working GTX 960 video card in f26?

[Tom Horsley]

I just tried booting a newly installed workstation fedora 26
system. I have this video card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] 
(rev a1)

The gome3 login screen comes up OK, but as soon as I
try to actually login, the screen goes to some wavy
pointilist looking thing and seems to freeze up.
I had to hit the reset button to get the system back.

I've tried no experimenting yet, but for a guess
wayland, nouveau, and the 960 don't hit it off very well
(and maybe the UHD resolution monitor contributes as well).

When I have a chance to fool with this tomorrow, I'll
try forcing an X11 login instead of wayland. Right now
I just set it to multi-user.target and am using the
text console when I boot to f26.

Well, yes. A DOS disk (not-GPT) can only have four primary partitions.
If you're going to have more than four, then at least one must be
an extended partition (typically the fourth partition or /dev/sdd4) and
any partitions above 4 live INSIDE partition 4. In the above example,
/dev/sdd4 should be type 5 (EXTENDED), then /dev/sdd5 and /dev/sdd6
would live inside /dev/sdd4.

In some ways, that makes sense in that /dev/sdd4 is the biggest
partition and could hold sdd5 and sdd6, but I have no idea what this
stuff looked like before. Anything I say would be a wild guess. Also the
mixture of straight Linux (type 83) and LVM (type 8e) partitions is
worrying. Again, without knowing how things were laid out before makes
any advice I offer dangerous.

Ok, I'm a bit confused here. Do you mean that you install one drive at a
time into a USB enclosure to test?

How? Via a rescue CD or something? I'm not familiar with testdisk but I
see it's available on a bunch of rescue CD images.

Hey mate,

I think we need some more info to help you.

* What version of 389-ds-base are you using?
* Which pam service are you using (ie /etc/pam.d/)
* Can you authenticate to the pam service in other ways?
* Can you provide us your cn=config related to pam pass through plugin?

Thanks!

Sorry, there is no way to see which index it is easily. It looks like a
substring index, but you likely need to correlate this to an access log
that made a query of "*zon".

Saying thi,s the problem may not be the corruption, the problem may
exist in our internal code. We allocate a buffer of of 8192 bytes to
read the data into:

#define BULK_FETCH_BUFFER_SIZE (8*1024)

...

idl_new_fetch() {
   ...
   char buffer[BULK_FETCH_BUFFER_SIZE]; 
   ...
memset(, 0, sizeof(data));
data.ulen = sizeof(buffer);
data.size = sizeof(buffer);
data.data = buffer;
data.flags = DB_DBT_USERMEM;
 

We then pass this buffer to bdb to retrieve the data at key. 

...
ret = cursor->c_get(cursor,,,DB_SET|DB_MULTIPLE);
if (0 != ret) {
if (DB_NOTFOUND != ret) {
if (ret == DB_BUFFER_SMALL) {
slapi_log_err(SLAPI_LOG_ERR, "idl_new_fetch", "Database
index is corrupt; "
  "data item for key %s is too large for our
buffer "
  "(need=%d actual=%d)\n",
  (char *)key.data, data.size, data.ulen);

...


This indicates that you have a very large substr index somewhere in your
db, especially if we have exceeded this size. 

I think that it's certainly a bug we can't access an index of this size,
but I would want to do some work to reproduce the problem to be sure of
what was occurring. 

If you are able to determine which value is the issue would you be able
to provide the output of 
dbscan -n -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-/db//.db

This will show you the "count" of idl's in the db:

/bin/dbscan -n -f objectclass.db
=domain 1
=groupofuniquenames 5
=organizationalunit 3
=top9

however, if I remove the last rm -- the find/exec/rm works..


The argument to -exec is a command and arguments; the command is invoked 
directly from find; the shell is _not_ inolved.  You're trying to (half) treat 
it as a shell command; there's no shell syntax use here because it never goes 
near the shell.


So you're just asking to invoke "rm {}" and then find is seeing the following 
"rm" when it is expecting another -blah operator.


Get your command right, interactively, on the remote machine first. Trying to 
debug this via an:


 ssh ... "blah"

will only make debugging even harder.

What should your remote command be?

It currently looks a bit like:

rm -f '/cloud_nfs/*hash*.dat'
find /cloud_nfs -name '*austincc*master*book*.dat' -exec rm {} \; rm -f 
'/cloud_nfs_fetch/*hash*.dat'

Did you want:

rm -f '/cloud_nfs/*hash*.dat'
find /cloud_nfs -name '*austincc*master*book*.dat' -exec rm {} \;
rm -f '/cloud_nfs_fetch/*hash*.dat'

First up, by putting quotes around your /cloud_nfs paths, you prevent the globs 
from working - they're trying to remove the literal path 
'/cloud_nfs/*hash*.dat', not all the files the glob would match. Drop the 
single quotes.


Note that you _do_ need the quotes in the find command because you are asking 
find itself to do the match, so the glob string must get to find untouched.  
Therefore the quotes to _prevent_ the glob being expanded.


Anyway, get your command correct directly on the remote host. Then construct 
the "ssh crawl..." incantation as a second step.


Also, you may find turning on the -x shell option _very_ useful for debugging 
remove commands. Thus:


 ssh crawl_user@1.2.3.4 "set -x; shell command here ..."

It will should you the precise commands dispatched at the far end, which goes a 
long way towards figuring out what you may have got wrong.

Re: /dev/loop

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I guess that it is an issue with the partition table.
I have 3 disks in teh same machine.
Yesterday I turned on the machine and turn it on this morning.
I could not boot. Then I decided to mount them in an
external USB enclosure. They all behave the same.

testdisk
Partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xAA55

Disk /dev/sdc: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I never though that I could lost 3 disks at the same time.
I have a copy of the partition table on the disks.

I am trying to run testdisk

Huh? If "df" shows something on a loop device, then it's mounted
somewhere or df wouldn't know how to extract the size data. For example,
with an ISO image mounted via loop to /mnt/Misc using the command

mount -t loop /path/to/iso/image.iso /mnt/Misc

I see:

[root@prophead ~]# df -h
...
/dev/loop0   1.2G  1.2G 0 100% /mnt/Misc

It shows up in fdisk using an "fdisk -l":

[root@prophead ~]# fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/loop0: 1.1 GiB, 1222639616 bytes, 2387968 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x6b8b4567

Device   Boot  Start End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/loop0p1 * 0 2387967 2387968  1.1G  0 Empty
/dev/loop0p2  105336  118339   13004  6.4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/loop0p3  118340  146419   28080 13.7M  0 Empty

If you mount external media via the GUI or if it's automounted, it
should mount in

/run/media/your-user-name/blah

with "blah" being either the media's filesystem label or some string
that identifies the USB device. If you don't see somewhat similar
things, then check dmesg and your logs for errors and/or hints.

And you know better than to top-post on this list, right? You've been
a member long enough.

Can't change plymouth theme

[Sam Varshavchik]

The -R option to plymouth-set-default-theme appears to do absolutely nothing  
whatsoever. It grinds away, for a few seconds, but when it's done and over,  
the initramfs in /boot remains completely untouched.


Running plymouth-set-default-theme tells me that the theme has been changed.  
plymouth simply fails to rebuilt the initramfs.


It looks to me like plymouth is being neglected, to some degree. There are a  
bunch of bugs in Bugzilla that's been open for years, with nothing happening  
on them.


I am not a big fan of the default plymouth theme. It's quite boring, and  
simply reminds me how long it takes for Fedora to boot. At least solar was  
somewhat entertaining to watch, while various bits were coming alive…


But in F25, the solar theme was mostly broken. One of my laptops completely  
refused to boot, with the solar theme. Had to reluctantly reset it back to  
charge.


Another laptop did manage to survive F25's solar, but, basically, solar's  
grapics suffered from Tourette's syndrome, all the way through. I reported  
that bug. Someone else confirmed it, and that's one of the open plymouth  
bugs, gathering dust, that I mentioned.


So now, I wanted to take the laptop that tolerated solar somewhatm in F25,  
and see what's up with F26's solar. But, because of another bug, that's so  
old that I can't even find it anymore, every time the plymouth rpm gets  
updated the default theme gets rather rudely reinstalled, so I have to run  
plymouth-set-default-theme -R, to rebuild the initramfs.


But now, -R doesn't work for me. Well it still runs, but simply fails to  
rebuild the initramfs, without complaining about anything. I see nothing  
with any updated timestamp, in /boot. The initramfs there has not been  
rebuilt.


Oh well, just created another plymouth bug, I guess, to join the rest of  
them, gathering dust. Since plymouth-set-default-theme did set the default  
theme for future kernel installs, I guess I'll discover the results of this  
latest experiment the next time I update the kernel.

That's my take as well. Use a USB key or DVD with whatever flavor of F26
Live you want. If it works (display, periperhals, etc.), then just use
the "install to disk" icon to install to the SSD. Booting up Ubuntu
first isn't going to tell you anything that a F26 Live disk won't. If
you're going to run Fedora, then test with Fedora. Would you test drive
a Ford with automatic gearbox then purchase a Fiat with manual shift?

We use Dells a TON around here (granted they're servers, not desktops
although my laptop running F26 is a Dell). We run CentOS almost
exclusively (there's the odd Ubuntu, too) and we've almost never had an
issue. There has been the occasional problem--usually with esoteric
hardware, but that hardware was difficult to support under ANY Linux
regardless of distro. Ubuntu typically runs older kernels than Fedora so
there may be a kernel issue, but Linux is Linux, pretty much. If it runs
one distro, it's 97% likely it'll run another with minimal or no fuss.

Good info. I'm saving this for future reference, but one thing I have
noticed is that Ubuntu (which as far as I know adopts all
the same font infrastructure as fedora) always looks
about 1000 times better in the font area in a brand new
install, not yet customized, just what the live image
provides.

I've never been able to track down the specific differences
between what ubuntu provides for fonts and what fedora
provides. Maybe they just spend some time picking default
fonts that simply look better.


You may have something there.  Right off the top they provide their own 
default set at "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family".


UbuntuMono-RI.ttf
UbuntuMono-B.ttf
Ubuntu-R.ttf
Ubuntu-B.ttf
Ubuntu-C.ttf
Ubuntu-BI.ttf
UbuntuMono-R.ttf
Ubuntu-RI.ttf
Ubuntu-LI.ttf
Ubuntu-L.ttf
Ubuntu-M.ttf
Ubuntu-MI.ttf
UbuntuMono-BI.ttf

That pretty much covers everything with Lite, Condensed, Medium, 
Regular, and Mono fonts, with bold and/or italic styles where applicable.

I think the confusion the OP had was that he/she didn't realize that the
"\;" bit of the line was part of the find command and didn't separate
the find command from the subsequent "rm" command on that line. They
needed "\; ;rm -f ." to do what they wanted.

Just one of the oddities of stringing commands together in a shell.

I'm thinking about pulling the conventional drive out and putting

off a live CD USB as you suggested.  Then I'd use "rsync" (if the live

to copy the Ubuntu system to a small partition I would make on the M.2.
Does that sound reasonable?

The only part I'm not sure about is getting the machine to boot off the
M.2 SSD.
I'm a total novice with grub2.


I'd just put your SSD in, download a copy of F26 Live (why bother with
F25?) in whatever spin you want (Xfce, Gnome, KDE, whatever), burn it
to a DVD or put it on a thumbdrive and boot your system with that and
test it. If everything works OK, then just install F26 to the SSD using
the "Install to disk" option on the Live media. There's absolutely no
reason to boot Ubuntu at all.


I want to use Ubuntu first because the machine is certified from Dell
to work with it as that's what it shipped with.  If the SSD PCIe drive
I'm putting in doesn't work, I'll only have that (and the copy
process) as factors w/o complicating things with Fedora 26 (which I

Of course, you COULD use "-delete" in the find command rather than
doing an "-exec rm {} \;":

sh  crawl_user@1.2.3.4 " rm -f '/cloud_nfs/*hash*.dat' ;  find
 /cloud_nfs  -name '*austincc*master*book*.dat' -delete; rm -f
'/cloud_nfs_fetch/*hash*.dat' ; "

Might be a bit cleaner and less confusing.

First, sorry if this doesn't show up as plain text.  It should but
typing it in Thunderbird isn't showing it as plain text.

Use "systemctl status vmware" to determine if the vmware services are
all running.  If it's my experience then I bet not.  When I run
 sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

I get the error message "Failed to get gcc information."  I had to do
this (as root):
   cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
   tar xf vmmon.tar
   cd vmmon-only
   make
   cd ..
   tar xf vmnet.tar
   cd vmnet-only
   make
   cd ../
   mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
   cp vmmon.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
   cp vmnet.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
   depmod -a
   systemctl vmware restart

so far this works and brings back the two virtual network interfaces ...
with the only difference I had to do this:

cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmmon.ko
cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmnet.ko

vmnet1: flags=4163  mtu 1500
inet 192.168.151.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 
192.168.151.255

RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
TX packets 40  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

but


vmware (as in VMware-Workstation) still wouldn't start.  Using strace I
found that libexpat.so.0 wasn't being found so I then ran:
 ln -s /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1.6.2 /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0

this doesn't help anything, VMware Wkst. still refuses to start ...
(even after a shutdown -r now)

is there any log or similar where I can look for the reason if this?

vmware would then run and my Windows 10 VM appears to be working fine
(so far ;-).

i googled around for the first part about the need to manually rebuild
vmmon and vmnet.


Thanks,
Walter

Here is the problem^
The ";" is part of the find command. Try "...rm {} \; ; rm -f ..."

Re: Linux anti-virus any good?

[William Mattison]

Good morning,

(replying to a few messages at once)

> Linux has no viruses.

There are actually *two* reasons for starting this thread.  First, to get 
advice needed to choose the right "anti-virus" for my home workstation.  
Second, I believe that the article that I referenced would be of real interest 
to many of this list's members.  The article makes it very clear that there is 
malware targeting Linux systems.  I really recommend a good, careful reading of 
the article. 

> ... However, as Linux is often used to provide services to other systems ...

I agree, and that's part of what the article focuses on.  In my case, this is a 
stand-alone home workstation.

Thank-you George!  I needed that reminder.  I agree.

I will check those out.  Thank-you.

I recall hearing about that in the news within the past couple of weeks, but I 
forgot which company the report focused on.  Thanks.  I agree with your point.

As advised in a separate recent thread, I've shut down sshd.  I use "rkhunter" 
and "chkrootkit" as advised in a thread some 4 tears ago.  I have "NoScript", 
"uBlock Origin", and "Better Privacy" add-ons in my Firefox, and I think 
Firefox itself tries to minimize or block some data-gathering ("browser 
fingerprinting"?).  I have Firefox set to not keep history, and to delete cache 
when exiting.  But there's spoofing, ever-cookies, phishing, browser and canvas 
fingerprinting, stegaongraphic concealment, and how many others that I haven't 
yet heard of.  I recall that last year (?), some phishing scam was good enough 
to fool some government chief of some government security agency.  I'm fallible 
too.  So I believe it would be a good idea to have and use good anti-malware on 
my system.  It's the workstation anti-malware that I'm interested in, not the 
server anti-malware.

Thank-you, everyone.
Bill.

Fedora upgrade, 25 to 26 -

[Bob Goodwin]

It appears that I am the only one on 
this list who has not been able to 
complete the upgrade from Fedora 25 to 26!


Yesterday I used about 4 GB of my 25 GB 
monthly allocation on the effort and 
apparently the result is a collection of 
1.7GB rpms.


[bobg@bobg ~]$ du -h 
/var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/

1.7G/var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/

As I recall it downloaded 1958 of them 
with only one problem, something about 
gedit, and I excluded that, then things 
went on normally it seemed.


This morning I am presented with a dark 
blue window with black text that I can 
not read. At the bottom in white text on 
black are two buttons, "Learn More" and 
"Download." When I click Download it 
begins to do exactly that at about 16 Mb/s.


Where am I in the install process, is it 
simply going to do a typical update or 
is going to download everything again?


Presently, ssh from this box shows:
[bobg@bobg ~]$ cat  /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)

Bob

Well, that solved it.  It installed without a hitch.  I *think* what 
happened was that the installer saw some residual F25 partitions (I must 
not have deleted the F25 /boot/efi partition), and was trying to install 
as a triple-boot F25/F26/Win10 rather than dual boot F26/Win10.  It was 
respecting the stuff that was already in the EFI/fedora directory in the 
/dev/sda1 system EFI partition.  But, of course, the F25 partitions were 
*mostly* gone, so it crumped on boot when it tried to defaut to a F25 
boot up.  When I used gparted to delete everything linux-y and deleted 
the fedora directory in the /dev/sda1 EFI directory, it installed 
without complaint.


I think my big error was not making sure that *everything* F25-related 
was gone.

Yeah, it sees it.

Though I would love to be the one with a definitive answer, the best I have
is a wag.  Seems that everything installed properly and the boot config
being used needs to be pointed in the right direction, doable through a
shell for windows or a live USB.  I would dd everything at this point
however because the chance to nerf something is reasonably good.  Pointing
the old boot would be a work around because the configuration of the new
partition may or may not have the dual boot set up.  If, on the other hand,
you want the new partition the boot flag may need to be set on the new and
remove off the old.  Just my thoughts.

Just to be clear.  This is a new installation on a machine that used to

Thus, it's no big deal for me to delete partitions 6-9 and start over.

F25 had an encrypted /home partition, a separate /swap partition (I know 
I don't have to have one, but I'm old), and an unencrypted / partition 
where, I thought, /boot/efi lived.


I do the installation using the GUI from "Install to Hard Drive" on the 
USB live distro ((KDE spin), and choose "delete everything associated 
with only F25."  I am required to create a /boot/efi partition by the 
GUI.  So I do (I vaguely remembered that F25 was happy using the system 
uefi partition, but I don't remember).


I install, and everything seems to go well.

Then I reboot, and my old F25 boot options come up (i.e. a list of F25 
kernels and the Win 10 bootloader).  Of course, it can no longer find 
the F25 kernel.  The Win 10 boots up fine.


So... I'm figuring I mis-configured where to put the boot directory, and 
somehow it's finding the old one (which may well be in the system uefi 
partition -- I don't remember).


The last time I had a problem with this, I ended up trying to move 
directories by hand, and wrote over the Windows boot loader, which 
caused me no end of headaches.  I don't want to make that mistake again.


Here's what's on my hard drive:

sda1: "EFI system partition", containing BOOTSECT.BAK   EFI   
FSCK.REC   FSCK0001.REC   FSCK0002.REC   FSCK0003.REC   FSCK0004.REC 
  mach_kernel   System  'System Volume Information' 260 MB


sda2: Microsoft reserved partition (I can't mount it) 128 MB

sda3: Windows  data partition 103.42 GB

sda4: Windows recovery partition 731 MB

sda5: Windows recovery partition (another one, apparently) 25.43 GB

sda6: This looks like my old F25 boot partition (I thought it was 
deleted) 18 GB  It contains:

sda9: Encrypted /home partition, 760 GB

So, it looks like I've managed to create two System EFI partitions.  Who 
knew?



Two questions:

Is there a simple fix-by-hand for this?

If I have to re-install from the USB, what mistake did I make and how to 
I not do it again?


Thanks!

Since having upgraded to F26[1], I facing similar issues as you describe

Playing with "Output", I found the only working one seems to be

Thanks, Ralf. By setting "Output" to "XVideo output (XCB)", instead of
"Automatic", did the trick. But should this be considered a bug?


IMO, yes, definitely.

The problem however is, it's hard to tell which component (package) is 
the actual cause. vlc is involved but from what I see from the error 
messages vlc emits, there are more bugs involved underneath.

Since vlc is packaged by RPMfusion and vlc has its own website and support page 
I
would go http://www.videolan.org/support/ and ask them as they will probably 
have a
more definitive answer.  They even have their own mechanism for reporting bugs 
which,
if it is a bug, would get faster results than putting a bugzilla in at 
RPMfusion and
then just have them have to push it upstream.

Given that the US government has limited use of Kaspersky software (
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-kasperskylab-idUSKBN19W2W2), reviews
of AV software should
mention known ties to national government agencies.   Careful people
shouldn't use tools they or a trusted agent didn't build from source, and
should be careful about where
they get database updates.

Only difference was that the line:

was changed to:

play-and-exit=1

F26: make: error while loading shared libraries: /lib64/libgmp.so.10: unexpected reloc type 0x000208a8

[Barry Scott]

I was in the middle of doing some coding and I got this:

$ make
make: error while loading shared libraries: /lib64/libgmp.so.10: unexpected 
reloc type 0x000208a8

At no time was I doing any updates or other priv'ed actions that might change 
the system.

No dmesg since boot up 2 hours ago.

I check with rpm:

$ rpm -q -V gmp
..5../usr/lib64/libgmp.so.10.3.2

Did a reinstall:

$ dnf reinstall gmp

And rpm verify has nothing to report:

$ rpm -q -V gmp

Now make is working again.

Any idea what is going on?

Since vlc is packaged by the fine folks at RPMfusion you may want

I just looked:  I have vlcrc, vlcrc.txt and vlcrc1.txt, the two latest 
both from June and partly related to my recent installation of a new 
nVidia card.


Each file is > 85 Kb of almost entirely commented out options.  I looked 
at a diff, and then tried "cat vlvrc | grep -v \#", but that still gives 
a fairly dilute output dominated by empty lines.  I'm no grep expert.


But I do see 'audio-visual=glspectrum' - and it's on-screen too.

I filed a bug and got a quick response.  The solution to the problem is
in the bug report [1].  It's a matter of setting an option so that
libinput obeys the hardware "buttons" on the touchpad instead of using
soft buttons.
