~/rpmbuild directory can't be a symlink?
by Franta Hanzlík
I was just trying to build the rpm package (samba-4.18.1-0.fc38 from
Fedora SRPM) but the build ended with an error:
...
Processing files: ctdb-ceph-mutex-4.18.3-4.fc38.x86_64
Provides: ctdb-ceph-mutex = 2:4.18.3-4.fc38 ctdb-ceph-mutex(x86-64) = 2:4.18.3-4.fc38

RPM build errors:
Empty %files file /home/hanzlik/rpmbuild/BUILD/samba-4.18.3/debugsourcefiles.list
The problem seems to be somehow caused by ~/rpmbuild being a symlink (
$ ll ~/rpmbuild
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 hanzlik hanzlik 43 Jul 6 05:07 /home/hanzlik/rpmbuild -> ../../mnt/zalohy/SW/linux/rpm/rela_rpmbuild
), and it doesn't matter if relative or absolute.
If ~/rpmbuild is a real directory, the build succeeds.
It's a general problem and rpmbuild must not be a symlink (I haven't
found it anywhere yet) or it is e.g. rpm system error (some macro,
etc.)?

sysadmin/mentor !!
by bruce
Hey peeps.
Hope those who celebrate the 4th had a good time, and all is safe.
I'm working on a project, and ready to deploy a couple of test apps on
a cloud server. I'd like to be reasonably safe/secure, and thought I'd
turn here to see if anyone wants to play the role of short term
mentor/guide for this.
I've scanned numerous sites, etc. .. but still would feel better if
I've got someone I can discuss prior to deploying, or ping if
something happens.
If you're interested, ping and we can talk. And yeah, I expect that
there might be a fee!
thanks

Server edition password
by Bill Cunningham
I installed the Server addition to get used to servers. I added
firefox and Xfce and their dependencies along with httpd and tried to
log into localhost:9090. I believe that is the right port. I am prompted
to enter fedora server edition password. I have read there is no default
password, but it wants a user name. What am I supposed to enter as a
user? To access Fedora Server Edition from Xfc and firefox?

FreeIPA on Fedora and dnf system-upgrade
by Ian Pilcher
I am currently running FreeIPA on CentOS 7, and I am considering moving
it to Fedora.
On RHEL and derivatives, in-place upgrades are not supported. It is
necessary to provision a new server, running the new OS version, add it
as a FreeIPA replica, and then decommission the old system.
How does this work on Fedora? Will I be able to use dnf system-upgrade,
or will I find myself having to use the process described above?

Restarting video driver to turn on external vga port
by Robert Moskowitz
I have a Lenovo x140e running F38.
The video driver is normally the Radeon, but some time ago here I was
told to change the amdgpu driver but
lspci -nnk | grep -iE "VGA|DISPLAY" -A3
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8330] [1002:9832]
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2219]
Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
But sometimes after a few suspend/unsuspend when remote and no external
VGA, this system forgets about the external monitor.
Is there someway to force the video driver to wake up and see the
attached vga monitor?
thanks

Remote desktop on headless server?
by Matthew Saltzman
Hi, all-
I would like to set up a workstation in a network closet with no
monitor or keyboard attached and run a (GNOME shell) desktop session
from another machine on the local network.
What's the best way to do that in Fedora 38, and is there a good source
of documentation someplace? The GNOME desktop sharing facility requires
that the connection be to an active session logged in on the console.
Googling hasn't been much help for recent distros.
TIA.
