getting out of bridge mode
by Michael Hennebry 28 May '24

28 May '24

I'm running F38 with an Arris router provided by Midcontinent. The connection is by ethernet cable. Somehow the router got into bridge mode which turns off wifi. I've tried to login to turn off bridge mode. No go. I eventually get a popup saying the operation timed out. After dismissing the popup, I get another popup saying that the reason was that the router connection was lost. ping 8.8.8.8 succeeds. How do I figure out what is going on? What do I do about it? Power cycling has not helped. How many young goats do I need? -- Michael hennebry(a)mail.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

Two completely different protocols. I suspect that lftp just calls out to the OpenSSH sftp binary if it uses SSH. -- Jonathan Billings

After f39 upgrade sddm broken on 1 system
by Go Canes 27 May '24

27 May '24

I recently upgraded 5 systems from f38 to f39. 4 of the 5 are fine, but on 1 sddm is broken. There is no text and sometimes the areas that should be text are a pinkish-purple color. I googled and saw suggestions about locale and dejavu fonts, but as near as I can tell this system has the EN locale and dejavu fonts installed. journalctl does show some interesting errors: [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShader::link: error: Exceeded max nr indirect texture lookups (5/4) [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: shader compilation failed: [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShader::link: error: Exceeded max nr indirect texture lookups (5/4) [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(matrix): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(textureScale): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(color): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(alphaMin): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(alphaMax): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(fontScale): shader program is not linked [...] sddm-greeter[1367]: QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation(vecDelta): shader program is not linked Any suggestions as to what to check for?

Can't Boot 6.8.* Kernels
by Garry T. Williams 26 May '24

26 May '24

I have one system that fails to boot any 6.8 kernel. The failure is that the boot sequence halts with a single message on the console: Booting `Fedora Linux (6.8.9-200.fc39.x86_64) 39 (KDE Plasma)' and the console cursor simply blinks two blank lines down from this message. The last kernel that will boot on this system is 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64. I have two other Fedora systems that do not have any problem booting the 6.8 kernels. This leads me to believe that something on this particular system is causing the problem.

Need system to run 24/7
by Robert McBroom 26 May '24

26 May '24

This thread has been on before but I lost it. I need my system to run long simulations without my intervention. It keeps going to a reboot intermittently. The program has recovery that all is not lost with a shutdown but the time getting back to check on the system. Don't remember the setting to tell fedora what to do for always on systems.

F40: strange network issue after upgrade of laptop from F39
by Ranjan Maitra 25 May '24

25 May '24

Hi, I have a strange issue after upgrading a laptop (Dell XPS 13, 2013 edition). That is that I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email). I should mention that the network on this upgraded laptop works fine when I take the laptop home and connect. So what could be the problem? I have not had such an issue with installations and upgrades for 40.5 versions of Fedora (the 0.5 is for RH9 that I think I used mid-2003 to late 2003 before Fedora Core 1). How do I troubleshoot this? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, and best wishes, Ranjan

No DHCP > response, no network traffic, etc. Ignore the browser for the moment. Go into Network Connections and see if your install is cloning a random MAC address. I *suspect* that the registration "feature" may be checking against the MAC address, while the browser passes through the SSID + password only. Just a guess but I have had the same problem with my android cellphone getting a DHCP-served address instead of the expected static IP due to a random MAC address. Geoff

audit features
by Billy Kay 22 May '24

22 May '24

Hi, I've used FreeIPA on and off with various versions. Currently we are using ipa-server-common-4.10.0-8. With the environment growing larger and having more engineers working with the setup, I would like have some way to audit / track of changes in everything from user, user groups, HBAC and sudo rules. I wonder if anyone has experience with auditing the changes. Any suggestion how to archive this? Thanks Billy
