Is there a crypto policy or not?
by Tom Horsley
The /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on my fedora 27 partition says:
# To opt out, uncomment a line with redefinition of CRYPTO_POLICY=
# variable in /etc/sysconfig/sshd to overwrite the policy.
# For more information, see manual page for update-crypto-policies(8).
But there is no CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable setting
in /etc/sysconfig/sshd or in supposed system wide file
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/openssh-server.config I see
referenced in the sshd.service definition.

Maven won't pick up JAVA_HOME
by cen
Perhaps I am just going crazy but maven just won't pick up JAVA_HOME on F27.
1. sudo dnf install maven
2. echo $JAVA_HOME returns
/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-9.0.0.181-7.fc27.x86_64 (which includes bin
dir with JDK tools such as javac, keytool etc so it is JDK for sure)
3. Any mvn command results in
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
Also tried JDK8 and Oracel Java 9
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.151-1.b12.fc27.x86_64
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk-9.0.1
..same result. I feel like there is some hidden config messing me up
or some weird stuff happening. Anyone has an idea what it could be? Last
time I was still on F26 and it worked.

Login Page changed after last fedora 26 update
by ogio spam
Hi all,
before the last updates, after power on, my fedora 26 showed a list of
users and asked for password.
I use KDE.
After last upgrade (I can't remember what changed, but some related to
KDE and X11) the login requires user and password, and it no more lists
users and pictures.
Can someone explain me why every update change the behaviour of the
system? And what appened?
Thankyou
Ambrogio

printing broken after upgrade to F27
by Kseniya Blashchuk
The printer has always been working before, Canon IR2520. After upgrade to
27 the job is hanging in "Processing" state, and the printers application
crashes. I see some errors in the logs like:

[f7ce5000+1ba000]
and then stack trace:

I tried to look for a bug but haven't found any. Does anybody have the same?

systemctl openvpn won't start
by Neal Becker
Was working before upgrade to f27. Now:
sudo systemctl start openvpn@client-ibecker2
Failed to start openvpn(a)client-ibecker2.service: Unit openvpn@client-
ibecker2.service not found.
According to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Openvpn#Working_with_systemd
I would need to have /etc/openvpn/client-ibecker2.conf, which is there (as
it's been since 2015).
I don't know why this isn't working, or how to debug it (systemctl doesn't
seem to have any debug flags)

Sound-setup with alsa and pulseaudio [was: Re: pulseaudio MUST
DIE!]
by Wolfgang Pfeiffer
Doug, Philip, and Everyone
I started a new thread with the quotes below to make
sure to not hijack the thread where they were taken from ...
Short version:
The whole thing isn't that important - if in doubt, ignore it ... :)
The main reason I wrote this email is plain and simple
curiosity about whether it can be done, and how: namely to feed sound
on a Linux machine to two audio systems at the same time: to
internal speakers on the computer and to external ones like, e.g.,
those in a TV, via HDMI. And all this on Fedora 26 system

To get sound simultaneously from your internal computer speakers and TV
(connected via HDMI): which tool(s) did you use? pavucontrol? paman?
paprefs?
Settings in ~/.asoundrc ?
Looks like I have two sound systems on my machine - if true it might be
possible to run them concurrently:

Specs regarding the lspci result from above:
Please note that on this machine there's one mini display port and one HDMI port:
AMD specs for the Radeon card say the DisplayPort 1.2 (mini
display port is broken on current Fedora¹ since quite some time) is
"Multi-Stream", while the specs on HDMI (works here) say nothing about
"Multi-Stream"
http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/oem/8900#
That's what Intel says about E3-1200 v4
on
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-e3-1200v4-vo...
--------------------------------
"The processor also integrates dedicated a Mini HD audio controller to drive audio on
integrated digital display interfaces, such as HDMI* and DisplayPort*. The HD audio
controller on the PCH would continue to support down CODECs, and so on. The
processor Mini HD audio controller supports two High-Definition Audio streams
simultaneously on any of the three digital ports."
------------------------------
The last sentence:
"The processor Mini HD audio controller supports two High-Definition
Audio streams simultaneously on any of the three digital ports."
Philip:
After I wrote, that I cannot use both speaker systems (internals
speakers from the computer and external ones from e.g. TV) at
the same time you mentioned ~/.asoundrc:
"That should be fixable with a properly configured .asoundrc file? -
might need an ALSA guru to do it though . ."
Might be difficult to find ALSA gurus ... :) - but I played
with .asoundrc years ago on a Macintosh powerp machine, with Debian on
it - with surprising results (and I'm far from being an audio
guru):
https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2009/08/msg00049.html
So thanks for pointing to .asoundrc: it hinted to me that ALSA is
still there - didn't realize that - I simply thought it was gone with
pulseaudio. And yes: I had not much of an idea of what PA actually is
until yesterday - I just knew that audio worked here ...
Sound setup tho' *might* become more complicated now with both
pulseaudio plus alsa being involved - not sure about it yet ..
Thanks again ..

Cursor lagging and freezing on MacBook Pro
by Joakim Forøysund
Hi!
I pulled out my MacBook Pro from back in 2008 and installed F26 on it. It worked fine the first couple of days (except from wifi), but then the cursor started lagging and freezing up. I can move it slowly about an inch on the screen before it freezes. Then I can wait a couple of seconds and move it another inch or so. After a few tries it freezes completely. Everything else responds and I can control the computer with the keyboard. I tried upgrading to F27 after the release, but the issue is the same. Any idea what I can do to fix this? Reinstall is of course an option, but I wanted to check with you first. Any advice is appreciated.

AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries
by Tim Evans
Just upgraded from F26 to F27 without incident. However, the web
browser interface to the "BackupPC" application
(BackupPC-4.1.3-4.fc27.x86_64) is now broken. The BackupPC daemon
itself is working properly, and backups are running.
ps -ef | grep -i backup
backuppc 1130 1 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
However, attempting to access the browser administration pages of the
application generates "service unavailable" (503) errors.
The Apache error log (*not* any BackupPC log) shows:
[Thu Nov 23 10:52:26.203136 2017] [cgid:error] [pid 1162:tid
139834463086336] (13)Permission denied: [client ::1:43468] AH01257:
unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries:
/usr/share/BackupPC/sbin/BackupPC_Admin, referer:
http://localhost/backuppc?action=summary
Everything was working properly with F26.
Where's the permission denied coming from?
# ls -l BackupPC_Admin
-rwxr-x--- 1 backuppc apache 3924 Aug 2 12:51 BackupPC_Admin
Both apache and the BackupPC daemons are running under the userid 'backuppc'

Core XFCE utils freezing up
by Konstantin Svist
Hi,
Since last update I've been seeing freezing up behavior, mostly in the
xfce4-power-manager.
Specifically, this is the behavior I see when starting it up in command
line ($ xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug --dump):
https://pastebin.ca/3938185
I can interact with its UI directly just fine, no lag. When I use a
shortcut button for brightness the 1st step succeeds (brightness changed
slightly) but power manager freezes for N seconds. If I press the
shortcut several times, the rest of presses are queued up and will take
a long time to process.
This also affects sleep behavior -- when I close my laptop, it's
supposed to sleep if on battery and just lock screen if on power. It
always sleeps now.
I haven't updated in a few weeks, so it could be a bunch of things
causing this, not sure what...
Anyone else having these issues?
