SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher
I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months.
Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's
even seen a dual layer disk :'(
SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA
optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to
buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable?
Is anybody already running them with Fedora?
Thanks for any advice/experiences.

Does this have anything to do with Fedora? Advertising is not
acceptable on this list.

Cockpit as root
by Emmett Culley
I am not able to login to cockpit, localhost:9090, as root. I can login as a normal user, but that isn't acceptable. Why would I even need cockpit as a normal user?
I have a fully updated Fedora instance. It may be related somehow to plasma as at the top of the login dialog I see "Fedora Linux KDE Plasma".
I suppose there is a configuration option to allow root logins. Note that sudo is not an option I am interested in using.

start a GUI at all, how do I do a group reinstall

Many thanks,

gthumb crash on startup and bugzilla reporting
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I occasionally forget to shutdown gthumb before shutting down my pc.
On startup of the PC, I see a message indicating that gthumb crashed and
asking whether or not I want to report the bug.
(This is more of a nuisance; I can always start gthumb, and it works very
well.)
I click yes; the process runs, downloads debug packages, etc. When it is
ready to report, send in the information, I get the following message:
Backtrace is generated and saved, 145368 bytes
--- Running analyze_BodhiUpdates ---
Looking for similar problems in bugzilla
fatal: RPC failed at server. The API key you specified is invalid. Please
check that you typed it correctly.
abrt-action-find-bodhi-update [ERROR] Search for duplicate bugs failed:
None
('analyze_BodhiUpdates' exited with 2)
#######
So, I would like to complete this process; I have bugzilla credentials; do
I apply them somewhere in this report? Or do I have to acquire other
credentials for this API?
Thank you,
Max PYziur

Drivers for Realtec USB wifi adapters
by Robert McBroom
I have two Realtec USB wifi adapters an rtl8812au and rtl8822bu. For a
while I tracked driver updates on git with varying degrees of success.
Haven't seen anything since the 5.6 kernels. There was some note about a
generalized driver but I don't see anything in ../kernel/drivers or get
the devices enabled on boot.
Has anyone had any updates on these devices?

Enabling Apache HTTP/2 => Too many open files error
by Richard W.M. Jones
I fixed this now, but I could find virtually no documentation about it
online, so I'm writing this email to document what surely must be a
common problem ...
I wanted to enable HTTP/2 support in Apache on Fedora 38.
I followed the documentation here which worked [although it's way more
complicated than it needs to be, why isn't HTTP/2 the default out of
the box?]
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/http2.html
Anyway the problem I had was that the server worked fine provided
there were not too many clients (and by "too many" I mean a simple
load test with 4-16 clients failed). Apache randomly threw 403
Forbidden errors, but with less load it gave a normal (2xx) response.
The first problem is the error is misleading:
[Wed Feb 22 13:24:52.013780 2023] [core:error] [pid 3047850:tid 3047899] (24)Too many open files: [remote 192.168.0.139:53738] AH00132: file permissions deny server access: /var/www/html/[filename]
If you concentrate on the second part "file permissions deny server
access" -- as I did -- then you'll be looking at file permissions,
SELinux, restorecon, ausearch etc. That's a red herring, there is no
permissions problem.
The real error is the first part "Too many open files".
It turns out that the default open file limit (1024!) is too low. To
change this and fix the problem:
# systemctl edit httpd
This creates an "override" file to which you should add (or you could
just create this file directly):
# cat /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65536
and then restart Apache for the change to take effect.
Why on earth Apache needs > 1024 open files to serve a dozen clients
is not clear at all.
Rich.
