Not sure which FM I need to be reading: auto media mount trouble

[John Morris]

I have managed to hose something in my account.  

In Fedora 24 about 2/3 of the time when I login the only item in
Computer was "File System" and inserted media (CD/USB) neither mounts or
appears. The other 1/3 of the time it worked.  Not good.  But the clock
is ticking on F24 now so I updated to Fedora 25 and it got worse.  I get
entries for every mount point, tmp, sys, everything plus I get desktop
icons for them all too.  This is on Mate if you are wondering why I have
icons on the desktop.  But at least it is now consistent, it happens
every time.

Made a fresh account and logged into it and everything works normally.
Tried a couple of times and it appears reliable.  So whatever is wrong
it is just in my account but I can't figure out what got corrupted.
Google is little help, all the automagic plumbing has been rewritten so
many times most hits are to pages discussing obviously wrong things.
While logged out I have tried removing .gvfs, anything suspicious in
~/.config ~/.local, like gvfs-metadata, systemd/user, .ccache, .dbus,
Even looked in /var/tmp for leftover cruft.  So what file does control
the current automagic stuff?

Upside is I have finally seen accelerated 3d/video decode in a VM without
a Kaboom so as usual, upgrading brings new shiny.

Re: Hundreds of kernel crash messages after Fedora 26 upgrade. We're sorry, it looks like BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64 crashed.

Hi,

I have just rebuilt the boot images after running the following command.

dracut --regenerate-all --force

Let's see how long it works. I have 6000+ unreportable errors in the ABRT

Still no luck.

In a terminal can you run "sudo journalctl -b" and see if you can find 
the crash info?  You should be able to press "G" (that's a *capital* G) 
to get to the most recent entries, then you can scroll back if necessary.

How can I force it to 63?


The default for a long time has been to start at 2048 instead of 63.  I 
assume you are using fdisk, which is quite difficult to force in this 
way.  I recommend using parted instead.  When specifying start position 
and size, append an "s" to the number to use sector counts.  For example 
to create the first partition there (assuming an empty table), you would 
enter:

mkpart p ntfs 63s 24981074s

Getting both versions of gedit installed would have been a "difficult" thing to
accomplish.  For the heck of it I just tried to install and while it did 
download a
bunch of dependencies it tailed the transaction test with

Error: Transaction check error:

I was going to say that situation would be very hard to get into, but 
then I checked and found that there is an i686 version of gedit 
available to install on my x86_64 system.  Very odd.  I suppose there 
might be something that requires libgedit.

I suggest running the command line version of the upgrade instead.  That 
way you'll get a better message about what's going on.  I expect that 
clicking on download again would only download packages that have 
changed since the last time you did it.  I don't know if the command

If you have both the i686 and x86_64 versions of gedit installed, try
uninstalling the out-of-arch version (e.g. uninstall the i686 version
if you're on a 64-bit machine).

I lost the top of this thread. Did you do

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --allowerasing --refresh 
--releasever=26

to start the upgrade? Note the reboot doesn't do any downloads--it
just installs the RPMs already downloaded via the "dnf system-upgrade
download" command.

No, I jumped ahead and suspected that there is something wrong with the
disks.  If all Patrick did is what he said he did, like you, I don't
see how he could have affected all three disks with gparted.  So, I'm
thinking disk malfunction of some kind.  The -c will check if there are
a bunch of bad blocks on the disk (blocks that can't be read), an
indication of a failing drive.  It is read only.

You're right, though, that specifying -n as well would be safer.

Something just doesn't add up here, this is way too much damage for a
simple single command error.

All these partitions or OK, but there is a gap at the beginning.
I do not know what was here.
Can this prevent to install the MBR properly?

My problem is to guess where was the extended partition.
In addition there was a swap partition is sdd5

[389-users] compiling 389-ds 3.6(or newer) on ubuntu 16.04

[Alberto Viana]

As far as I can see (with a little research on some tickets) lib nunc-stans
is now enabled by default in 389 (389-ds-base) and I'm trying to compiling
it on ubuntu 16.04 and was getting the following error:

Seems to be missing the libevent(-levent), my workaround was to add it

There is a gap between sdc2 and sdc3,
I guess that it is a partition that I could recover.
But I first need to create an extended partition.

how can I do it?


How did you get it to this state?  Those partitions are almost certainly 
incorrect.  The first one is a long way from the start of the disk and 
there are gaps everywhere.

Did you unmount the drive before doing these changes?  gparted won't let 
you modify a partition that is mounted.  You say you changed the size of 
the first partition, was there more than 1?



Thus, I try to read the key from another computer and gparted did not
like (fdisk was giving wrong partitions). Thus, I had to entirely
repartition the stick.


Were you using gparted or fdisk or both?  So the USB drive had a mangled 
partition table as well?  That would be 4 drives messed up then.



Anyway, I started to investigate the issues with the PC which could
not boot. And I arrived at the point that the partition tables of the
3 HD were mess up.


I could kind of understand one disk getting messed up if you picked the 
wrong disk, but I have no idea how all of them would be.



Now, I am making the link.
Can this stick have a virus which may have mess up the partition tables.


Extremely unlikely since you didn't actually run anything from it.


Please, note that one of the HD probably still had a XP OS bootable.
I did not use it for a very long time.


That should not be relevant other than you should see a FAT32 partition 
in the table.


This has been a very long email thread, so I might have dropped some 
info, but are you using a live image right now for investigating this? 
Have you tried looking at these hard drives using a different computer?


I would recommend that you try a program called "gpart" to try to find 
the partitions.  If the first try doesn't come up with a working layout, 
you can add the "-f" parameter to make it do a full scan of the disk 
instead of skipping when it thinks it found a valid filesystem.

I doubt that would be helpful at all since there are strong indications 
that your partition table is not correct.  And if you let it make 
changes, you will just be corrupting things even more.

Yes.  The first run I would use 

e2fsck -c -v /dev/sdd6

which is verbose and read only, so it should be faster.  It doesn't
make any changes to the disk.  The disk is already unmounted, which is
what you want when doing these diagnostics and repairs.

Once you have that output, it will tell you what kind of shape the
filesystem is in, and you can decide your next step.

You will probably need to use the -b option to point
to a valid superblock, and the -p option to fix any errors, at some
point.  Depending on how much time you have, you could also run
e2fsck -c -c -v /dev/sdd6
before that, which does a non-destructive read-write test.  This is
slower, but will tell you if the disk is bad; there will be lots of
write failures if it is bad.

Slow and deliberate is the way to go, measuring 3 times before you cut
once.

man e2fsck for more information.

If you install smartmontools, you can use smartctl to get data from the
disks themselves, if they have it.
man smartctl

There's  a decent chance if you create an extended partition, the EBR
signature will nuke whatever is in that gap, unless there was
originally an extended partition there, into which whatever you're
trying to recover had been created. So you either need to remember
what it was like before that partition was deleted, or you need to go
signature hunting (testdisk can probably do it).

Do you have another kernel you can boot into?  I see that there is a 
later kernel available at koji.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=917926
You could download the needed rpms and locally install them using
dnf -C install
from the directory where they are.  It might even be available in
updates-testing if you enable the updates-testing repository
in /etc/yum.repos.d.  Set the enabled= line to 1 from 0, and disable it
after you are done by setting it back to 0.
Or try an earlier kernel
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=913371
if there isn't one available to you in the boot menu.  There is
something seriously wrong if the kernel continues crashing.  

You could also try a different desktop.  It's possible that there is a
bug in Plasma that is causing the crashes.

It is certainly possible to destroy the partition table of 3 disks
with gparted.  I can't say how you would have done it, or even if you
did.  I only say that it seems unlikely it was a virus from the USB
stick that was responsible for the destruction.

By exporting the env var in ~/.bash_profile and possibly in a script
in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; have a look at:

It was so easy, I just changed it.  It doesn't seem to have made any

Hundreds of kernel crash messages after Fedora 26 upgrade. We're sorry, it looks like BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64 crashed.

[Sudhir Khanger]

Hello,

I have been getting these messages on my system every second after upgrading 
from Fedora 25 to Fedora 26 Plasma Desktop.

We're sorry, it looks like BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64 
crashed.

I already have 1000 of reports that I can't submit. How do I resolve it.

I'm using freetype-freeworld from rpmfusion.  I followed your
original links, and ended up here, 
https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/subpixel-hinting.html
where I see a comparison between 35 and 40.  My fonts look like the 35
version.  Do I still need to do the above?

This can be a recipe for disaster when working with computers.

Is it possible you made a mistake and actually changed a different
partition table?  The partition table for one of your disks?

Again, a good indication that you didn't actually partition the
USB stick when you thought you did.

Unless you ran a program from the USB stick, the fact XP was on the
disk would have no effect.  And it would have to be a linux program
that modified the partition tables, so it would have to run as root.
Opening a file would not do this.  Hmm, if you used an editor with a
script interpreter in it, and the file had a script for that editor,
and the script was set to run on open, and you were root, and Jupiter
aligned with Mars, and ...

Far more likely you partitioned the wrong disk.

Or, does that PC have power issues?  Or could one of the disks be
failing?

Well, vlc isn't a fedora supplied package.  In addition that issue isn't 
universal. 
I am running vlc on F26 just fine with my Vidieo Output set to Automatic.  
Problems
with vlc are problems with vlc and should be directed to them.

Yep, sounds like that is something you need to report to the Adobe folks.   I'd 
not
used it in quite some time since I've been mainly using okular.  But now that 
I've
tried it again and it is broken I can just uninstall it.

Thanks for letting me/us know.

Xorg seems broken:

Within the man page for parted

  mkpart [part-type name fs-type] start end
 Create  a  new  partition.  part-type may be specified only
 with msdos and dvh partition tables, it should  be  one  of
 "primary",  "logical", or "extended".  name is required for
 GPT partition tables and fs-type is optional.  fs-type  can
 be   one  of  "btrfs",  "ext2",  "ext3",  "ext4",  "fat16",
 "fat32", "hfs", "hfs+", "linux-swap",  "ntfs",  
"reiserfs", or

Re: /dev/loop

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Here is my current thinking.
2 days ago, I received a brand new UBS key (Lexar S75).
I inserted it inside the UBS port of my Linux machine.
I open the key (it mounted automatically) and read the instructions
about the encryption coming with the key (by opening a file).
I did not pay too much attention because I was not interested,
I just changed the size of the 
first partition and I added a ext4 partition.
Later I turned off the PC.
The following day, I tried to restart te computer, but I was
unable to boot.
Thus, I try to read the key from another computer and gparted did not
like (fdisk was giving wrong partitions). Thus, I had to entirely
repartition the stick. 

Anyway, I started to investigate the issues with the PC which could
not boot. And I arrived at the point that the partition tables of the
3 HD were mess up.

Now, I am making the link.
Can this stick have a virus which may have mess up the partition tables.

Please, note that one of the HD probably still had a XP OS bootable.
I did not use it for a very long time.

What do you think?

My Best.

This is what I did to try to recover the partition table.
Then I tried on one specific partition.

In my opinion, the disks are probably OK, I "just"  need to recover 
properly the tables.

The bad thing is that there is a backup of the tables on the
HD them because. I anticipate such an issue, but not on the 3 disks
at the same time.

Do you know any other tools to do it?

Nvidia graphic adapters with both a 950 and 960 chip work fine here
using nouveau. However I'm using the Fedora XFCE spin that, as far as i know,
doesn't use wayland.

In addition, to get really sharp fonts, you'll have to delete the
slight hinting set as default in /etc/fonts/conf.d and enable full
hinting. Just delete the link to 10-hinting-slight.conf and create a
new one to 10-hinting-full.conf.

Thanks! However, compiling freetype is rather trivial.
