Just wiped FreeNAS and setting up Ubuntu for my fileserver. Going to try Ubuntu over Fedora this time. Supposedly better ZFS support. I think I’m going to not do encryption this time.

Anyway, does this smart data look bad? It looks bad to me. All eight disks are similar.

Any reason for this? Considering building a ZFS NAS and encryption would be a must, so just wondering if there’s issues.

2629

FreeNAS and encryption of the storage pool was a hassle. Especially when replacing failed drives. I got one failed drive replaced, but never could get the second one done. It sucked.

In the past I did LUKS encrypted drives then did ZFS on Linux under that. This worked just fine. I don’t know if I am going to try to do the native encryption with ZoL or not. Maybe to test, not sure.

But I feel like I should figure out if my drives are borked or not. They all have similar SMART data with really high values.

is there a easy way to back up the user settings and applications from gnome on Fedora? Is it a file I can just copy and replace?

I was thinking of reinstalling Fedora 30 on my laptop, because I installed some crappy exes with wine. I think it’s easier to nuke the laptop drive then try to delete the wine files.

2631

Should be a hidden folder in your home directory. That is only for your user though. Will be a .gnome folder.

Is there a way to get a list of apps installed?

2633

I think yum list installed.

man yum will be your best bet to see if that is right. You should be able to pipe that to a file and on the new system have yum look at that file to install them on the new system.

I am relearning how to administer RHEL systems after working on Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch for so long. I have not touch RHEL or Fedora since they made the transition from Red Hat Linux to RHEL and Fedora. I thin DNF is the new way of managing installs on RPM based systems?!

2634

can yum list detect different repositories? I am currently using DNF. Would I just copy the output of
DNF list and just have fedora install the list output?

2635

We are on RHEL 6.9-ish at work. The have not graduated to DNF yet. I would say yes that should work, but I have not experience with it as of yet.

Yum list installed will display in the right hand column which repository the RPM was installed from. I don’t know if DNF does this or not.

Is there any way to setup a proxy configuration manually on Xubuntu?
I’m trying to run it on a VM for testing some apps we want to try out on the hall but our network has a Squid proxy server than has no automatic configuration link or script.

2637

If you are using gnome, you would configure that in Network Settings.

If you are using NetworkManager, then you can manually specify your proxy settings and assign it an interface.

What are you using to manage your network connectivity?

Hey Everyone,

I’m sorry if this has already been answered before - but I’m having an issue with wifi on Fedora 30. It keeps cutting out every 5-10 minutes ish and i turn the wifi adapter off in settings, turn it back on, and then I’m good to go. It looks like the wireless card is supported ( https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:168c-0030-168c-3112 ). I’d appreciate any ideas or fixes. Thanks!

Mr Domsch posted this in another thread:

You should just be able to do a


cat /var/log/dnf.rpm.log | grep -iB 1 "<dnf install command> <package-name>"

on Fedora for DNF… At least according to this guy dnf has a application log https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?304779-DNF-equivalent-of-var-log-yum-log

Has anyone experienced issues with Nvidia driver 435.21 where thwe HDMI audio is not working? I’m on Fedora 30 and using Negativo17 repo

2641

Just like last time i have a Problem booting latest Fedora 30 on my Ryzen 3600:

20190913_183936
20190913_183936.jpg4608×2184 2.84 MB

Any clue what this could be or how to solve this?

Edit: First results. From bugzilla it sounds like the regular Workstation ISO doesn’t get updated. The Respins ISOs seem to get updated frequently including the patch for this. Am now downloading the Workstation ISO from here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/ Maybe this works. If not, i guess i’ll give Endeavour a go.

2642

It likely will. There were kernel and systemd issues when the Ryzen 3000 launch happened. They’ve since been fixed, but if the primary ISO isn’t updated, you won’t get the fixes.

2643

A bit off topic, but is there any compelling reason to update from Fedora 29 to 30? I’m already on 5.0 kernel.

2644

Anything you install in wine should just be in your ~/.wine directory if the default wineprefix was used. You only need to delete that directory. Some shortcuts might remain in your desktop folder and in ~/.local/share/applications that you also will want to delete.
