Cinnamon 4.6 makes my display flickering
by Marco Guazzone
Hi,
I have just upgraded Cinnamon to the new 4.6 version with dnf and then
rebooted the system.
When I log in, Cinnamon makes my screen flickering, with half screen blue
and the other half screen showing (a half of) my background image.
Just for testing, I created a new user to start Cinnamon with a fresh new
configuration. Same problems experienced
If I use Gnome shell (Classic), then I log out, and then I use Cinnamon the
problem disappears, apparently.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.

Mount samba share using pam_mount
by Simon Colston
Fedora Workstation 32
I'm trying to mount a samba share at login using pam_mount. The steps I've taken so far after googling and man-page
reading are:
1. In /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml I uncommented the line:
<luserconf name=".pam_mount.conf.xml" />
2. Created the file ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pam_mount>
<volume options="uid=%(USERUID),gid=%(USERGID)" user="%(USER)"
mountpoint="~/diskstation/home" path="home" server="diskstation.local" fstype="cifs" />
</pam_mount>
3. To add pam_mount.so to pam.d I changed /etc/pam.d/login to:
#%PAM-1.0
auth substack system-auth
auth optional pam_mount.so
auth include postlogin
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
session required pam_selinux.so close
session optional pam_mount.so
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
# pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context
session required pam_selinux.so open
session required pam_namespace.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include system-auth
session include postlogin
-session optional pam_ck_connector.so
and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password to:
auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth substack password-auth
auth optional pam_mount.so
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
auth include postlogin
account required pam_nologin.so
account include password-auth
password substack password-auth
-password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok
session required pam_selinux.so close
session optional pam_mount.so
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
session required pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session required pam_namespace.so
session include password-auth
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
session include postlogin
I log out and back in again and... it does not work. (I can mount this share from the command line using the mount
command.)
So my question is... what am I doing wrong?

Why?

I had a bad drive in a LMV setup after using 'vgreduce
--removemissing --force vg00' I cannot mount the LVM
by D&R
I found instructions that resulted in failure to replace the bad drive. The
'bad' drive still works but the directions to add a new drive did not work. I
shutdown the computer and unplugged the 'bad' drive.
On rebooting I ran:
vgreduce --removemissing --force vg00
I was not able to mount the lvm afterwards.
I have looked for instructions on deleting the lvm and creating a new lvm
and I have not been able to recover.
I am running Fedora 31.
pvs displays: at this point I have not added /dev/sda1 to the volume group.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda1 lvm2 --- 931.51g 931.51g # this is the new drive
/dev/sdb1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <465.76g 0 # this is the bad drive
/dev/sdc1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <465.76g 0
/dev/sdd1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <3.64t 0
I created a new lvm.
lvs displays:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync
Convert LVM vg00 -wi-a----- <4.55t
using the command:
mount /dev/mapper/vg00-LVM /tv
displays this error:
mount: /tv: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-LVM,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
I do not know what the next step should be.
If I have left anything out please let me know.
Thanks for any assist,
