Bug ID: 1245533
Summary: Documentation for setting up tftp server is missing
for last two documentation releases
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: system-administrator's-guide

Description of problem:
I have tried setting up tftp server on fedora and failed miseably after 2 hours
of trying. There is only a brief mention in Fedora 20 docs:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/s1...
But crucial config file is missing after installing tftpd server.
Is this method abandoned? There is no mention of allowing ports for tftp in
firewall. On previous Fedora installs this worked, I installed tftpd and
allowed tftp ports in firewall, but now it doesn't work anymore. Is there some
additional layer of security that it preventing clients from connecting to tftp
server?
Please document this and also show how to troubleshoot.
Thanks.

[Bug 1136030] New: Need a new chapter about upgrading Fedora
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1136030
Bug ID: 1136030
Summary: Need a new chapter about upgrading Fedora
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide

Reporter: pbokoc(a)redhat.com

The current upgrade chapter is pretty much completely useless. We need a new
one that would cover:
* Automatic upgrades with FedUp, including how to prepare and how to clean up
after the update finishes
* Manual upgrade (or reinstall) - manually booting the installer on an existing
system and using the normal installation process to overwrite the root
filesystem while keeping the rest of the system (/home and any other separate
filesystems) intact.
There should be ample documentation on FedUp on the Fedora Wiki.

[Bug 1018500] New: There's no section in the documentation for NFS, after Fedora 14
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018500
Bug ID: 1018500
Summary: There's no section in the documentation for NFS, after
Fedora 14

Description of problem:
There's no section in the documentation for current Fedora versions, about how
to configure NFS. There's SAMBA and FTP, but no NFS.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search or browse documentation.
2.
3.
Actual results:
Can find scattered information about configuring NFS, but no consolidated
section.
Expected results:
Section for configuring NFS clients and servers.
Additional info:
There are many changes in NFS configuration since Fedora 14. There's a
different init system with different service names, There's also a new firewall
manager. I'm just guess at a lot of the details, and it's pretty frustrating.
Why does SAMBA have a large detailed section, and NFS has nothing? This is
Linux, right? Is the Fedora Project moving to SAMBA as the preferred file
sharing method?

Description of problem:
I tried the instructions for verifying checksums on Windows (section 3.3.1) but
ran into a problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 23 iso download, Windows 10 computer
How reproducible:
Follow the instructions detailed in section 3.3.1 of the install-guide on a
Windows 10 computer.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Fedora checksum file
2. Open a powershell session
3. Change to the directory containing the checksum file
4. Run the following commands:
> $image = "Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso"
> $checksum_file = "Fedora-Server-21-x86_64-CHECKSUM"
> $sha256 = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.sha256CryptoServiceProvider
> $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern $image) -split " ")[0].ToLower()
> echo "Expected Checksum: $expected_checksum"
Actual results:
"sha256sum"
Expected results:
"a91eca2492ac84909953ef27040f9b61d8525f7ec5e89f6430319f49f9f823fe"
Additional info:
The correct checksum is actually in the fourth and final position of the string
after being split. I recommend replacing the [0] in the instructions with a
[-1], assuming that you are able to recreate this problem. If not, let me know
and I'll try to provide a more detailed report.

[Bug 1303428] New: Checksum calculation may lead to memory
exhaustion
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1303428
Bug ID: 1303428
Summary: Checksum calculation may lead to memory exhaustion
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Severity: low
Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com
Reporter: redhat(a)planetcobalt.net
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co
Description of problem:
Chapter 3.3.1 of the Installation Guide[1] ("Verifying checksums on Windows
systems") suggests to pass the image as a byte array to the ComputeHash()
method for calculating the SHA-256 checksum:
> $download_checksum = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($sha256.ComputeHash([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$PWD\$image"))).ToLower() -replace '-', ''
This reads the entire image into memory and may thus result in memory
exhaustion (System.OutOfMemoryException), depending on the size of the image
and the available memory in the computer running the verification.
Solution:
Read the image as a stream[2] instead of a byte array.
> $stream = (Get-Item "$PWD\$image").OpenRead()
> $hash = $sha256.ComputeHash($stream)
> $stream.Close()
> $download_checksum = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($hash).ToLower() -replace '-'

Description of problem:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/se...
Section 3.3.1 gives a PowerShell procedure for verifying the signature of a
download on windows.
I downloaded Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-23 and tried the procedure. It fails due
to the size of the file.
Another method needs to be used.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create this script (copied and pasted from the cited webpage, except for the
Parameter block):
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=1)]
[String]$image,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=2)]
[String]$checksum_file
)
$sha256 = New-Object -TypeName
System.Security.Cryptography.sha256CryptoServiceProvider
$expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern
$image) -split " ")[0].ToLower()
$download_checksum =
[System.BitConverter]::ToString($sha256.ComputeHash([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$PWD\$image"))).ToLower()
-replace '-', ''
echo "Download Checksum: $download_checksum"
echo "Expected Checksum: $expected_checksum"
if ( $download_checksum -eq "$expected_checksum" ) {
echo "Checksum test passed!"
} else {
echo "Checksum test failed."
}
2. If necessary, execute: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
3. ..\Documents\Scripts\SHA1-Check.ps1 Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-23.iso
Fedora-Server-23-x86_64-CHECKSUM
Actual results:
Exception calling "ReadAllBytes" with "1" argument(s): "The file is too long.
This operation is currently limited to supporting
files less than 2 gigabytes in size."

Expected results:
The checksum is computed.
Additional info:
Also note that the script as written will fail if a path is given, as '.' and
'\' are used in the pattern - which takes a REGEX, where they are special.
Note that Fedora 18

an executable from
http://www.labtestproject.com/files/win/sha256sum/sha256sum.exe that can handle
the large file.
While the idea of a powershell script to avoid downloading an unknown
executable is clever, it doesn't work.
Perhaps a signed windows executable can be provided.
Also, the procedure should indicate how to verify the PGP signature on the
CHECKSUM file...

Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM
Description of problem:
When following the steps in "Verifying checksums on Windows systems" the value
of the `$expected_checksum` is 'sha256' because it is splitting the line and
grabbing the first word.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 22, full URL in
"Additional info".
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22-3.iso.
2. Download Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM.txt.
3. Follow PowerShell instruction from "Verifying checksums on Windows systems".
Actual results:
`$expected_checksum` equals 'sha256'.
PS C:\Users\...\Downloads> $checksum_file =
"Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM.txt"
PS C:\Users\...\Downloads> $image = "Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22-3.iso"
PS C:\Users\...\Downloads> $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file |
Select-String -Pattern $image) -split " ")[0].ToLower()
PS C:\Users\...\Downloads> $expected_checksum
sha256
Expected results:
`$expected_checksum` equals
'615abfc89709a46a078dd1d39638019aa66f62b0ff8325334f1af100551bb6cf'.
PS C:\Users\...\Downloads> $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file |

Additional info:
I've attached the "Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM.txt" since it is not
very large but it's from,
