I've upgraded one of my machines. The others are soon to follow. One problem I
discovered was that the default Gnome-X-Session does no longer support my touchpad,
disabling tap-to-click for me. Switching to the Wayland session worked very well
and I have yet to hit any glitch.
If you're running Fedora 23 you can easily upgrade to Fedora 24 running the following
console commands. But before that, make sure your system is fully upgraded
and rebooted, especially if you installed some kernel updates.
The --allowerasing argument allows some packages to be deleted during the
process. I had some dangling haskell packages, that needed to be deleted. No
problem there.
Once all the downloads are done, type sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot to reboot
your system starting the actual upgrading process.
I was playing a bit with with a Raspberry Pi B and raspbian and
I wanted to install Cockpit on
my pi. Sadly, we can't use the provided debian repository since they do not provide
packages for our Pi's processor architecture.
So we do it ourselves.
First thing, we need to install node.
If you already have a current node installation, you don't need to do that.
Starting with node, we download the latest node source code and unpack it
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.9.1/node-v5.9.1.tar.gz && tar -xzfnode-v5.9.1.tar.gz.
We now can just cd in there (cd node-v5.9.1) and build and install it
(./configure && make && sudo make install). This will take quite some time. This might
even take a few hours. After the configure step, you can
make > makelog & and then disown in order to leave that session
alone and even close it. But don't forget to sudo make install once it's done.
Now on to building Cockpit itself.
First we need to install all the build dependencies:
After we cd-ed into the source directory, we can, more or less, follow the
building instructions.
Create and switch to the build directory and run autogen.sh.
I had to disable pcp because I wasn't able to find the header files in the raspbian
repository. We also disable documentation creation.
And once this step is done, we compile it, install it and copy
some authorization files.
make
sudomakeinstall
sudocp../src/bridge/cockpit.pam.insecure/etc/pam.d/cockpit
sudosh-c"cat ../src/bridge/sshd-reauthorize.pam >> /etc/pam.d/sshd"
And we're basically done. Start cockpit with sudo systemctl start cockpit.socket
and enable it to run on boot with sudo systemctl enable cockpit.socket.
You're now good to go to access cockpit on port 9090 or integrate it
in your cockpit landscape.
I had the following problem after upgrading my wordpress installation to 4.4:
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed.
The problem is that wordpress ships its own, old certificate bundle. You can fix
this by downloading http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and overwrite your
/wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt with it.
This will be needed after every wordpress upgrade that does not fix the issue
itself which is probably an outdated server missing the certificate or a php version
being compiled with an old version of openSSL.
I've upgraded one of my machines. The others are soon to follow. I have yet
to hit a problem with Fedora 23.
If you're running Fedora 22 you can easily upgrade to Fedora 23 running the following
console commands. But before that, make sure your system is fully upgraded
and rebooted, especially if you installed some kernel updates.
The --best argument makes sure if there are any transaction problems, the
installation will not continue. I've had to remove some old gstreamer-plugins
that are sure to come back with a new installation of fedy.
Once all the downloads are done, type sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot to reboot
your system starting the actual upgrading process.
