      @black3dynamite the "dd" command is so great and flexible. It can do so much.

      Starting from another thread....

      If you are used to dealing with commands like mail from the mailx package, you may be used to apps that require a local MTA in order to send emails. In the config files of dnf-automatic however, we can instantly see that there is configuration for entering a non-local server. This means that dnf-automatic is implementing the SMTP protocol (SMTP) itself and is not dropping files in a queue.

      [email] # The address to send email messages from. email_from = root@example.com # List of addresses to send messages to. email_to = root # Name of the host to connect to to send email messages. email_host = localhost

      Because of this, we know that dnf-automatic is acting as an SMTP server on its own and must be configured for how your network is going to handle email and is not just relying on the default configuration of the system MTA.

      No, this is jsut droping a mail to root. not email.

      Wouldn't be better to say it's an SMTP client? Akin to Thunderbird?

      But in this case it's not doing that, so would be confusing. Thunderbird is an SMTP client, but doesn't do the local drop piece.

      What's not doing what? dnf-automatic isn't doing a local drop piece either. It uses SMTP to drop to localhost, not whatever mailx is doing to function.
      So in that regard, it should be exactly like what Thunderbird is doing, no?

      I don't believe that that is true, but maybe it is.

      Well we know dnf-automatic will deliver to postfix on another host assuming that host is configured to allow relay from the dnf host. Am I missing something?

      Does dnf-automatic not do both, though?

      I don't know if dnf-automatic is doing the local drop piece like mailx does.

      Chrome is easy to install but isn't included in Fedora. Here is the quick and effective way to do it.

      WTF?

      sudo dnf install -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

      That doesn't include the repo so it can easily update via dnf does it? Although chrome generally updated by itself so you may not need that functionality.

      [jbusch@dt-jared ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ fedora-cisco-openh264.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-free.repo slack.repo fedora.repo google-chrome.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo vscode.repo fedora-updates.repo rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo zerotier.repo [jbusch@dt-jared ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub [jbusch@dt-jared ~]$

      Ah okay, looks like it does.

      @NerdyDad said in Updating Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 with DNF:

      How often to you upgrade versus fresh install? Fresh install every other release? Any kind of best practice on this?

      You can avoid compatibility with packages by using more flatpak apps instead.

      Flatpak is not ready for prime time.

      Why not?

      And that's funny that you said prime time.

      There's a post from Flatpak with prime time in the title.

      Flatpak 1.0 Released, Ready for Prime Time
      https://www.flatpak.org/press/2018-08-20-flatpak-1.0/

      And @scottalanmiller coukd say sodiumsuite is awesome and ready for the masses. Still doesn’t make it true.

      There really need to be a setting for this in the Workstation GUI.

      By default Fedora Workstation + Cinnamon uses dnfdragora which is a totally separate process.

      Yes, I realize that.
      This setting exists in Cockpit, no reason why it can't be in WS!

      Will that uninstall yum-utils? Isn't that still needed for a lot of things?

      dnf-utils replaces it.

      @travisdh1 said in Updating Fedora 25 to Fedora 26 with DNF:

      Fedora 27 Server note: The server edition hasn't been released yet according to https://getfedora.org/en/server/download/.

      Using @scottalanmiller's upgrade instructions, it happily goes to 27.

      That has nothing to do with DNF upgrades.
