Repo deleted
by Mike Chambers
Ok, I recently installed the new to be release Fedora 21 on my server
(client been testing for months now). I have rsync setup to mirror some
Fedora sites (fedora, beta releases, updates, updates-testing, etc..)
that I mirror every day, usually every 4-6 depending on which script
runs. This has run flawelessly up until the server had F21. It would
mirror, delete and downloaded what was needed just fine.
Now, for some reason, everyday it looks like the mirrors are all deleted
and packages downlaoded from scratch. The only thing I can find that
seems related is when I do a yum update (client side mostly, and I have
the mirrored dir's mounted via nfs, as is same as when was on F20), it's
after that it seems the dir's get deleted. And I don't mean the dir
itself, but the contents of them.
For example, I have /rsync/fedora-test/ as my prerelease dir and all the
branches of F21 (release, updates, updates-testing, rpmfusion stuff) are
in there. All of the dir names are listed as always, but the sub's are
removed and then redownloaded again. I have tried 2 different mirrors
and both happen the same.
It's like when yum tries to upgrade (and it may be when I do a yum clean
all), then something happens to the dir's (and it may not be exactly
that, but right after) then next time rsync checks, it downloads it all
from scratch again. I can say, up to the point of it downloading again,
before that, when rsync checks the mirrors, it only deletes/downloads
what was changed, not the whole thing.
I don't get it nor can find what is happening. Wondering if the
harddrive itself is going bad somehow, as the rsync/mirror stuff is on
sep HD and mounted that way from install?
Any thoughts on what to look for, or any other details to show you or
give you that might help decide what to do or how to do it?

The question is:
WHY ifcfg-p48p1 is missing from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ?
The Network GUI Tool shows p48p1 interface correctly and manages it.
What do I miss?
I don't find anything useful in the docs

NFS over RMDA
by Ian Chapman
Hi,
Is anyone successfully running NFS over RDMA on Fedora 20+?
I've edited /etc/sysconfig/nfs and set the the following config paramter.
RDMA_PORT=20049
Upon restarting the nfs server I get the following:
modprobe: FATAL: Module svcrdma not found
/usr/libexec/nfs-utils/scripts/nfs-server.postconfig: line 12: echo:
write error: Protocol not supported
So it looks like the kernel module svcrdma is missing and the last
kernel to have it was 3.11.10-301.fc20. The postconfig script belongs to
nfs-utils.
Is svcrdma intentionally not built in the current kernels or has it been
replaced by something else?

PXE BOOT : Booting Linux VM from a network server.
by santosh
Query regarding Booting Linux VM (Virtual Machine) from a network server
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am interested to boot my VM with PXE BOOT through command line (not
through GUI)
After doing google I found many docs on this topic but all explains
about server side configuration I hardly find any doc which explains
client side configuration that needs to be done for VM .
What configurations / steps should I follow on the client side so
that my VM will be enabled for NET boot ?
Please remember I am interested to do everything on command line. No GUI.
e:g
I would like to boot my VM with Centos / Fedora linux. Suppose
server side configuration is done. Now what should I do on client
side (through command line, no GUI), so that VM will come up with NET
boot shell prompt ? after that it will download CENTOS / Fedora image
from server.
Thanks

That's good, at least F20 is on 3.17+ now.

Thanks for that. I'll enable it any give it a go anyway. It's not a
mission critical system, just a home network so it's worth the risk.

Cinnamon's start time
by Lain Cortés González
I don't know if this a generalize problem; but any of you is getting long
times to actually get into the (Cinnamon) desktop? I had this issue with
old version and I though that was because it was another shell for GNOME
instead of a desktop made with GTK+ libraries from scratch, like it's
supposedly now. Is there a solution (obviously there is), that it doesn't
have the need to hack the code of Cinnamon (I'm not in a rush to learn
GTK+).

XFCE on F21 desktop
by Heinz Diehl
Hi,
up to F20, I used the respective 4 GB full DVD image to install
Fedora, which also contained the XFCE desktop. Now, with F21, there's
a desktop and a server edition, and it seems the full DVD is missing.
Does the desktop edition also contain the XFCE desktop, or do I have
to use any XFCE spin now to get XFCE? And where are all the
development packages and libs, are they still on both editions?
Thanks!

We go perfectly nowhere with this subthread, therefore it is perfect.

Dual boot multiple fedora verions
by Andy Campbell
Is there an elegant way to install two versions of Fedora at the same
time ?
I like to keep the existing version running, while I test/setup new
version, then swap when I'm happy everything is running ok. Previously
I've done with a boot loader like Air-Boot ( http://sourceforge.net/
projects/air-boot/ ) and partitioned my hard drive with
p1 boot1 ( F19)
p2 boot2 ( F20)
p3 LVM
/ for F19
/ for F20
/home
...
Then told the installer to use the relevant /boot to install the
bootloader. However that sort of broke from F18 and I've had to use the
workaround in bug 872826 to get that to work.
Can I just use grub2 ? to manage booting, I guess one version of F20 will
have to be the owner. How will updates work, can they both update the
grub2 config when the kernel is updated ? I've googled around and not
really found any simple solutions. This artificial looks possible, but
seem to require some manual fiddling around https://
www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/08/how-to-do-manual-multi-boot-
configuration-with-fedora/
I don't think its too much of a mad idea to want to do a staged upgrade
to next version, and I quite like have a clean install to get rid of all
the stuff I've installed just to play with.
- Any suggestions, or link's I haven't found.
Thanks in advance
Andy
