f33 reboot didn't?
by Tom Horsley
I just ran my normal reboot script which just kills off
some things systemd has problems killing sometimes then
does a reboot.
Instead of rebooting, it acted like a logout.
I logged back in again, and uptime said 3 days.
I rebooted again, and it really did reboot the 2nd
time. What the heck happened the first time?
Any clues?

Fedora 33 question
by David
My install of Fedora 33 was done using a nightly version on October 9, that
was built back in July
( according to $ rpm -qi basesystem )
Do I need to do anything to it to clean it up ?
I did a "dnf clean all," and I already forgot if it deleted anything.
Second question,
I just did an update, and got the new kernel. So am I fully in Fedora
33 stable now ?
[david@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf repolist
repo id repo name
fedora Fedora 33 - x86_64
fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 33 openh264 (From Cisco) -

fedora-modular Fedora Modular 33 - x86_64

Am I still a Fedora novice ? If this were the B.S.A., I would be a
"Tenderfoot." Right ?

systemd-resolved and NM-managed dnsmasq both running
by Ian Pilcher
I've been using NetworkManager's dnsmasq plugin (dns=dnsmasq) on my
laptop for years. After upgrading to Fedora 33, I see that
systemd-resolved is running (as expected), but the NetworkManager-
spawned dnsmasq instance is also running.
Is dnsmasq providing any benefit in this case? My understanding from
the earlier systemd-resolved threads is that it is supposed to handle
the "split DNS" scenario that led me to use dnsmasq in the first place.

Fedora-33 Instal method -
by Bob Goodwin
Is there any way to install Fedora 33 without using the install GUI?
This morning, out of desperation, I tried the Network Installer for
Fedora Server but it is just another .iso that uses the same GUI as the
others I have used that I am no longer able to deal with. I was hoping
it would be a command line operation which I can still deal with.
In order to use the GUI I need some one to do it for me while I tell
them how to respond to the menu items, difficult since it is something I
do infrequently although I can usually muddle through, it is
inconvenient at best.
I have not been able to get past the language selection screen, the
first one, in the network fedora server GUI, w/ould like to know if it
offers the/ LVM or the "standard partitions?" I want the "standard
partitions" not the LVM.
So my question boils down to is the installer GUI the only way to
install Fedora 33?

How do I fix my messed up F31 boot partition setup ?
by linux guy
I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I copied an F31 install
onto an existing F31 install on a hard drive that had Windows 10 on it. I
did this in early 2020. Didn't keep notes. :(
Now I have a hard drive that will boot Windows 10 fine, via the Windows 10
Boot Manager.
When I go into the BIOS manager, it shows 2 boot options: Windows 10 via
the Windows 10 Boot Manager and the hard drive device itself.
If I choose Windows 10, Win 10 boots fine. :(
If I choose the hard drive device itself, the BIOS says to insert a valid
boot device.
When I look at the hard drive with GParted, I see this:
Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 500 GB with:
/dev/sdb1 ntfs Recovery (Windows)
/dev/sdb2 fat32 EFI System Partition Has a boot flag
/dev/sdb3 unknown type Microsoft Reserved Partition
/dev/sdb4 ntfs Basic data partition
/dev/sdb5 ext4 <--- this is the boot partition, has the boot stuff on
it. Has a boot flag.
/dev/sdb6 lvm2 pv fedora
A fedora "device" which has 3 partitions:
/dev/fedora/home ext4 the home directory
/dev/fedora/root ext4
/dev/fedora/swap linuxswap
I used a live USB version to facilitate the copy. I suspect that the live
boot got installed (thus the FAT32 partition) instead of the real boot
partition, which is /dev/sda5 right now.
How do I fix this ?
Thanks

FYI: f33 crypto change ramifications
by Tom Horsley
I don't recall seeing this mentioned here, and since I just
spent all morning discovering it, I thought I'd let people
know.
The default crypto policy changed once again in fedora 33,
which I didn't notice till I started trying to use rsync to
update my web pages on hostgator (which, by default, uses rsa
keys).
Kept asking for my password even though I had the keys loaded
into the agent. Very mysterious till I finally started poking
around on the internet and found this:
https://dev.to/bowmanjd/upgrade-ssh-client-keys-and-remote-servers-after-...
Adding a line to in ~/.ssh/config worked:
Host tomhorsley.com
Port 2222
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
Maybe I'll try to discover if hostgator accepts more modern
keys and add them (later).

F32->F33: Upgrade or reinstall?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I'd normally upgrade, but my /dev/sda uses LVM to handle root, /home
etc. and from what I read this cannot be converted directly to BTRFS,
which I'm interested in using.
What would be the best way to approach this?:
1) Do a system upgrade and then convert to BTRFS by backing everything
up and restoring it (I'd need guidance on how to do this).
2) Do a complete system install and then restore from backups.
I'm guessing that (2) is the simplest answer, but I'd appreciate any
comments, especially from people who have actually done either of
these.

I can think of a solution that in the end, there will be just the server
parts of the current scp and the client code branches will be gone or
support sftp only. But this can change as we are not there yet.

With the above update, everything will work as before -- it affects only
the client scp binary.

As Simo wrote, I think it is something that will have to happen sooner
or later inside of libcurl or libssh or in users configurations. But
again, the above change should not have any effect on this.

BTFS - Raid1 for System Disk
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi everyone,
I'm experimenting with Fedora 33 & BTRFS on VM for a setup I'd like to
do in my desktop in the near future.
I'd like to have my system drive with BTRFS on a RAID1 profile. I was
experminenting with a simple / (root filesystem) subvolume but it
appears GRUB2 can't work properly with it. I get the famous:
"Sparse file is not allowed" during boot (and no way to access GRUB2
menu). It boots fine but I can't longer edit the GRUB2 menu during boot.
Fine, I read somewhere that /boot wasn't allowed with BTRFS in Fedora?
ok, I then tried to create a separate ext4 /boot partition (using
Anaconda) but it created a mess (partition-wise) so I'm going to install
it again with just one disk as /dev/vda1 for /boot and vda2 for BTRFS ,
then afterwards I'll copy partition tables to /dev/vdb, rsync /boot and
balance to RAID1.
I'd like my desktop to have a RAID1 setup for my main drive and be able
to remove either disk and boot seamlessly. Is this possible with BTFS &
GRUB2 these days?
I tried to followed link [1] but it doesn't work with Fedora33. Does
anyone know of any online guide to accomplish this with F33? Also , is
it really necessary to have a separate /boot partition? Aren't there any
workarounds? I'd like to keep stuff simple and have only BTRFS / &
/home subvolumes.
Thanks!
