Re: WLUG Meeting tonight?
by Joshua Stone
I've found that moving my systems to Fedora Atomic has been great for
avoiding situations like this. The image-based OS update model of
rpm-ostree ensures that an update doesn't leave the OS in a broken state,
even if the update gets interrupted.
https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/
https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/silverblue/
The introduction of bootupd in Fedora 41 has also helped ensure that the
bootloader gets updated properly outside of rpm-ostree.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraSilverblueBootupd
In essence, I get the leading-edge package updates of Fedora, with the
rock-solid reliability that LTS distros are typically associated with.

Re: WLUG Meeting tonight?

Chuck,
That's awesome! I've seen there are apt repositories going as well!
Since this week is a follies dejour for me.. You'll all laugh.
Installing 6.12.8 I managed to mess up my order of operations and rebooted
before fully updating the boot loader..
Don't install kernels when you're sleepy..
Tim.

WLUG Meeting tonight?
by Keith Wright
I am used to getting an email from Tim Keller when there is
a WLUG meeting. I am also used to it being on the second
Thursday of the month. One of those didn't happen.
Two meetings ago I tried to do a presentation of LaTeX,
but share-screen did not work like it did three meetings ago.
One meeting ago, share screen worked, but everyone was
talking about something else, and I wasn't really ready anyway.
I could try again, though I am not really ready today either.

If Cara (or anyone with a frame.work) is still around, I would be
interested in an update on this. Does it still work, or did it
blow blue smoke? Did you actually upgrade anything?
Would you recomend it?

OK. Google finds a page that says dnf is Fedora's replacement
for yum, which is apt or rpm re-done. Just another package manager.
You installed a kernel; what did you notice that was interesting?

Re: Happy Whatever-mas!
by Chuck Anderson
Tim, I fixed it for you. Gmail bounces emails it thinks are malicious. Indeed, someone sent a virus to the list. Only the moderators got the message because the list is moderated. But moderators who use gmail didn't get it because gmail "protected" them.

I maintain a couple of mailing lists for friends and family that
have been much the same since the 20th century. I had to move
them from a computer in my basement, to a VPS in the fog^H^H^H cloud
when they took away my IP address, but it's still Postfix SMTP
configured to forward without change.
I have found the gmail.com can be erratic. Often it delays (defers)
msgs without bouncing them. I only saw them bounce once---
no idea why. The error message rotates between three or four
variants, sometimes different for re-tries of the same msg.
Sometimes it goes through after a day or more. Once I
canceled a message that was stuck in the queue for more than
a day waiting for gmail.com, but a yahoo.com user got it and
replied, quoting the entire first message. That quickly went
through to all, including gmail, while the first one was still
in the queue. I figured everyone had seen it, if only as quoted,
and there was no reason to keep pushing it.
I find this annoying. Maybe the WLUG server does too.

Well, many of them are addresed to you in addition to WLUG.
This one purposely is not. Check that the ones you get are
forwarded through the list and not just sent directly to you.
I get two copies of many messages To: WLUG and CC: me.
Also check if there is a big difference betweeen the Date:
on the msg and the time you get it.

Keith,
The message was from the software that hosts the mailing list. The email in
essence said, "you will no longer be receiving emails from the wlug mailing
list due to excessive number of bounces."
Clearly, that message was in error.. since I'm getting them just fine.
Very weird.
Tim.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
