DHCP Reservations
by Jim Lewis
Hello all,
Quick question about DHCP reservations: I have laptops with both wired
and wireless NICs, is it okay to have the router assign the same IP to
both interface? I am assuming it will let me do that. I will not, and do
not ever, have both interfaces active at the same time. In order to make
this post at least somewhat relevant to Fedora I am currently running
three of them in my home office. I keep thinking that I am missing
something, possibly obvious, as to why I shouldn't do this.
I have my new Netgear R6200v2 working perfectly and I don't want to do
anything to piss it off.

Ip route issues
by Jarmo Hurri
Greetings.
Something changed in our work network configuration or my Linux laptop
around Christmas. I now have serious network issues.
The following happens all the time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I am unable to contact a server
http://en.wikipedia.org/
Browser says ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE
2. Name server works just fine
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ dig en.wikipedia.org +short
91.198.174.192
3. traceroute shows issues
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ traceroute en.wikipedia.org
traceroute to en.wikipedia.org (91.198.174.192), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 localhost.localdomain (172.16.43.148) 3004.217 ms !H 3004.195 ms !H 3004.187 ms !H
4. The problem is solved temporarily by flushing the route cache
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ ip ro get 91.198.174.192
91.198.174.192 via 91.198.174.192 dev em1 src 172.16.43.148
cache <redirected>
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ su -c "ip route flush cache"
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ ip ro get 91.198.174.192
91.198.174.192 via 172.16.40.1 dev em1 src 172.16.43.148
cache
Now the address works ok for a while, but then I get connection
problems again quite quickly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea whether the problem is in my laptop or in the
network. I have no problems in other networks. On the other hand,
Windows machine in this network work without issues.
Any ideas? I am running an up-to-date Fedora 20 with
[jarmo@localhost tmp]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 8 23:26:57 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

5tFTW: FESCo Vote, Fedora Swag, Stats, Job Opening, and CentOS & EPEL (2015-02-03)
by Matthew Miller
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that
goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five
different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just
quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for
February 3rd, 2015:
Vote now in FESCo Elections
---------------------------
The election for Fedora 22 – Fedora 23 members of FESCo (the Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee) is now open (through 00:00 February 4th
— note that that’s *today*, Tuesday, February 3rd — and early evening in
the United States). Read interviews with candidates here:
- Debarshi Ray (rishi)
* http://fedoramagazine.org/fesco-elections-interview-with-debarshi-ray-rishi/
- Parag Nemade (paragan)
* http://fedoramagazine.org/fesco-elections-interview-with-parag-nemade-par...
- Tomas Hozza (thozza)
* http://fedoramagazine.org/fesco-elections-interview-with-tomas-hozza-thozza/
- David King (amigadave)
* http://fedoramagazine.org/fesco-elections-interview-with-david-king-amiga...
- Kevin Fenzi (nirik)
* http://fedoramagazine.org/fesco-elections-interview-with-kevin-fenzi-nirik/
Adam Jackson (ajax) and Alberto Ruiz (aruiz) are also running but no
interviews area available. See the Elections wiki for each candidates’
self-nomination. Read the interviews, and then vote!
(Note that the Environments and Stacks Working Group had a number
candidates equal to the number of open slots, and so decided no
election is necessary for that group.)

Get Swag from the Fedora Store!
-------------------------------
Thanks to Ruth Suehle, we now have an official store for Fedora-branded
swag. As Ruth explains, we’re leveraging Red Hat’s “Cool Stuff Store”
for this, because it helps us with legal obligations as well as
inventory and financial requirements. This is a sort of trial run, with
four items to start. If it’s successful, we can have more (and possibly
look at expanding to other countries — we are very aware that the
current international shipping prices are… not great).
(I see that many shirt sizes are already out of stock, so that’s a good
sign!)
Also note: these items are priced at our cost; Red Hat and Fedora
aren’t making any money this way (we really can’t, even if we wanted
to). It’s just an easy way for you to get Fedora-branded gear.

Fedora Job Opening: Infrastructure Engineer
-------------------------------------------
The Fedora Infrastructure team headed by Paul Frields has a new opening!
See the Red Hat Jobs page for full details, but the quick summary is
that we’re looking for a software engineer / programmer with experience
in continuous delivery to help the Release Engineering team build the
next generation of the tools we use to produce Fedora.
The job listing came out highly slanted towards Project Atomic, as that
is the current hotness, but don’t expect to be pigeonholed there. Do you
have experience as a site reliability engineer? Is your instinct to
develop systems to pass arbitrary condiments? Have you been doing
actual devops for so long that you just sigh about how the term is used
today? Does Fedora’s six-month release cycle seem disturbingly slow —
and you know what to do about it? This may be the job for you!
(Note that the job is listed as in Raleigh, North Carolina, but we are
open to applicants worldwide.)

Fedora Yum Connection Stats
---------------------------
More on this later, but here’s a chart Stephen Smoogen put together for
my presentations at FOSDEM and DevConf.cz:
> http://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/fedora-os-all-mov_av...
The data counts updates-mirror connections from the same IP address a
single time a day. Smooge notes that a large number of caveats should be
considered, including changing use of NAT over time and increasingly
short DHCP leases. Also, this almost exclusively counts North America
and Europe, where cheap always-on Internet is commonplace. And, of
course, it only counts systems which actually check for updates
regularly; many don’t.
So, with all of those caveats aside, there are some interesting points.
There’s a general third/third/third split in updating: when new Fedora
release comes out, a third of users update almost immediately, another
third update by end-of-life when the “N+1″ release is out, and the final
third are end up as a long tail which persists forever.
The chart basically starts with Fedora 6, and as you can see, Fedora 8
was very, very popular. If you take F8 out, you see a general period of
growth in the peaks from F6 onward, until we hit Fedora 15 (a release
with a lot of change, including systemd and Gnome 3). Those users didn’t
*leave*, though — they just didn’t update, and F15 *never* exceeded F14
during its supported lifetime.
Now, it’s heartening to see Fedora 20 back up to the levels of earlier
releases — and I note that F21 just crossed up over F20 in use, so we’re
off to a great start here, too.
Fedora, EPEL, and CentOS
------------------------
At the FOSDEM conference in Brussels, we had a very productive meetup
between CentOS project contributors and EPEL and Fedora members, about
increased collaboration — making EPEL more official in CentOS, and
making it easier for CentOS contributors to join in maintaining packages
in EPEL. We also talked about the need for multiple versions of
software, and Software Collections (SCLs) as one possible solution (as
Tom Callaway noted, Fedora guidelines for these *are* approved by the
Fedora Packaging Committee, so it’s no problem to use them in EPEL). I
didn’t take notes, but others did, and there should be more on this soon
on the epel-devel mailing list.

fedora 20 to 21
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I wish to update a fedora 20 installation to 21 by using a DVD.
Is it possible?
Actually, I burn a DVD bootable server fedora 21, but I did not find
the option update.
When I go to installation
then System, I can select my hard drive and manually partitioning
I can see the installed system (/ /boot and swap)
I can install fedora 21 but not on the same partition (I can reuse /boot)
I have to install it on a new /
I cannot have a mounting point / on the old fedora /
This seems to indicate that I cannot upgrade from this DVD.
How do you update a fedora 20 without network?
Thank.

I see this:
/dev/mapper/luks-ab8911f9-b3a4-4f33-8b10-7e52c7217ae9 /raid1
This suggests an encrypted device mapper device created from the raid1
device, and it's active. So that has to be closed, or wipefs before
you can stop the raid and then wipe the raid, i.e. you need to tear it
down in the reverse order it was created.
You can try this: DOUBLE CHECK DEVICE VALUES
wipefs --backup -a /dev/md127
mdadm -S /dev/md127
wipefs --backup -a /dev/sd[cd]1
That will backup the luks signature, then wipe it, stop the array,
then backup and wipe the mdadm superblock signature. That ought to fix
the problem unless there's also LVM stuff going on here too.
The --backup isn't strictly necessary but will write out a file and
instructions on how to restore what it wipes in case you get the
command wrong and wipe the wrong device.

kded issue
by Martín Marqués
Hi all,
I have a laptop with Fedora 20 (IIRC I had F19 and upgraded like 6 or 7
months ago to F20) and everything was working great til a few weeks ago.
The problem is that every now and then, when I try to sent the laptop to
sleep, by closing the top or pressing Fn+F4, it doesn't full finish the
sleep process.
Let me explain this last thing:
It takes some time for the laptop to sleep, and when you open the top and
press any key it wakes up but the screen isn't blocked and kded is draining
the CPU (I mean kded is hanged). This means that most kde applications
won't work (NM won't authenticate, for example)
The only way to get back is to kill -9 kded (yes, kill -15 doesn't kill
it), and start it again.
I'm going to install debugging symbols now so that next time I can gdb on
the process.
Anyway, has anybody else experienced this?

not able of booting into rescue mode
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I'm not able of booting fedora 20 into rescue mode.
In the manuals is wrote:
Once you have booted, using one of the described methods, (booting from a
boot CD-ROM or DVD, ..., ...)
add the keyword rescue as a kernel parameter.
For example, for an x86 system, type the following command at the
installation boot prompt:
linux rescue
etc ...............
*but I can not see any prompt* where I can type
that command.
When I boot from my disk of installation (fedora live 20)
I get (only) the following menu:
-
start fedora live in basic graphic mode;
- test this media and start fedora live
- run a boot memory test
- boot from local drive
- return to main menu
( I opt for the first option (of course) and so by the installation of the
OS)
nothing to do with a recovery procedure .....
What am I doing wrong ?
Regards
Thank you
