screen -- long running process... cpu way up there!!!
by bruce
Hey guys/gals!
Got a test that I'm running. The test has a remote box running an app
on a sep box (box2). Box2 has a screen session running so you can
access box2 and do a
"screen -r Session1"
to access the running output.
All of this works as expected. However, when I examine the "top"
function in box2 I get the following. As you can see, it shows the
screen session running at 99% of CPU!!!
So, my question I guess how can I resolve this!
The process/app running in the screen is essentially looping through
the lines in a file, and doing some processing... For the 1st 2K lines
or so the cpu doesn't appear to be doing anything weird.. in fact the
cpu data isn't even shown in the top process...
Thoughts/comments are welcome..
Thanks

Behavior Midnight Commander with exiting to the last active directory
by John Pover
Dear readers,
Since this weeks update of Midnight Commander (mc-4.8.19.1.fc25.x86_64.rpm) it's normal behavior when exiting to the last panelized directory has changed. If you have started mc from the command line in a terminal or konsole it will now exit to the directory from which you have started regardless of whatever directory was active in the last active panel. So far none of the classic remedies have success in restoring the proper behavior. These are :
1) Putting the line " alias mc='. /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' " in .bashrc.
2) Creating an executable exitcwd and putting the line " alias mc='. ~/.config/mc/exitcwd' " in .bashrc.
Etc, etc.
Has anyone experienced the same and perhaps found it's causes and hopefully it's cures ?
Regards

firefox: characters showed as squares
by Frédéric Bron
firefox now shows characters as squares instead of normal letters so
that it is unusable.
I removed all history but it did not change anything.
I created a new profile but it is still the same.
I found one thing that works: untick "allow websites to use their own fonts".
But why?
I have 2 F25 computers, this happens only on one of them (the one on
which I use the nvidia proprietary drivers).

Persistent static routes
by InvalidPath
Im having an issue with setting static routes that are persistent.
FOllowing the Fedora documention for 25:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Networking_Guide/sec-...
After some mixup, I set one static route in NetworkManager for my main
Ethernet interface to find the correct filename (instead of route-eth0, it
created route-USB3_Ethernet which is what I named it in NM)
However after subsequent reboots, 'route' does not reflect the routes in
that file. And I did try both of the syntaxes below to no avail.
ADDRESS0=10.10.10.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY0=192.168.0.10
10.10.10.0/24 via 192.168.0.10 dev eth0

OT : Blue Hat
by Beartooth
Some of you might have tried in the
past to acquire an actual blue Fedora (as I
have, for years); if so, you might like to know that such hats
now exist.
They carry the name "Bailey of Hollywood"; I got mine
from
https://www.herringtoncatalog.com/
Color :
They call it Navy, and it is distinctly darker than the
royal blue characteristic of Fedora OS; but it is at least
definitely blue.
Size :
I ordered the biggest I could get, as I normally do
with hats & gloves. I could actually wear a thin cap in under
this XL, and may order a size L besides -- while I can still
get it.

ssh stderr question
by bruce
hey...
the following test works..
ssh user_foo(a)1.2.3.4 pgrep -f 'master_app' | wc -l
however, i realized that in some cases I was seeing a "ssh connection
timeout" so I looked into how to capture the complete STDERR from the
local side.
ssh user_foo(a)1.2.3.4 "pgrep -f 'master_app' | wc -l " 1>&2
runs but not sure it will actually do what I want...
any thoughts? net searching/SO hasn't given me the doh moment yet..
thanks
