How do I Contact the Rpmfusion List?
by Stephen Morris 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Hi, I have installed Jellyfin from rpmfusion by following the instructions on the Jellyfin web site for Fedora. After activating Developer Mode on my TV I used Docker to install the Jellyfin client on the TV. I ran the Jellyfin script to open up Jellyfin in Firewalld (After starting FirewallD as the service seemed to not have been activated after the upgrade to F40). I then enabled and started the Jellyfin service on my pc to start the server. When I invoke Jellyfin on the TV and supply the require IP address of my pc and required port, the Jellyfin client tells me the server (I think) needs to be upgraded and gives me the Github URL to get the upgrade. Hence I need to approach the Rpmfusion guys to see if they can upgrade the server to the latest version. regards, Steve

Boot hangs on recent kernels
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

Since kernel 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64, boot hangs on KDE Plasma (kernel 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 was the last good one). I found that there is a job running infinitely: 'Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-8e895....running ...' The above mentioned UUID (8e895 ...) corresponds to the kernel 'resume=uuid=...' command line parameter. When I comment it out in GRUB2, as suggested in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/solved-boot-hang-job-dev-disk-by-x2u… then the system boots as expected. This is a rather fresh install of fedora 40 (running on ext4): da 8:0 0 232,9G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1,1G 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:2 0 49,1G 0 part / ├─sda3 8:3 0 31,7G 0 part /home └─sda4 8:4 0 151G 0 part /mnt/Daten3 I have no swap partition, resume after hibernation works without errors. Although there is an obvious workaround (permanently removing the resume parameter from the kernel command line), I still wonder what has happened?

btrfs send command - why do I get these long times?
by Philip Rhoades 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

People, For decades I have been using rsync for all my backup needs - but with F40 I finally made the break from extx to btrfs for my workstation which introduced me to the concept of btrfs subvolumes and the possibility of snapshots. Since subvolumes don't provide security if the whole partition crashes, I have been experimenting with using btrfs "send" the created snapshots to another partition - and from there to separate backup drives and other computers. Here I made three snapshots of / on my workstation, making trivial changes to /etc/hosts between each snapshot and then finally sending all three snapshots to the /home dir ie: # for subvol in /z_btrfs_ss/*; do time btrfs send $subvol | btrfs receive /home/z_btrfs_ss/ ; done At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022356 At subvol root_20240609_022356 real 14m2.764s user 0m1.405s sys 0m51.704s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022807 At subvol root_20240609_022807 real 8m58.384s user 0m1.499s sys 0m59.899s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_035045 At subvol root_20240609_035045 real 5m53.532s user 0m1.472s sys 1m0.015s What I don't understand is that when creating the snapshots originally, the time to create them is almost zero but when using btrfs send to the other partition the times are _much_ longer. I guess it makes sense that the first send of the first snapshot is slow, but why are the second and third sends not much better? My previous script using rsync for incremental backups of a file system / dir is faster - I can check the times if anyone is interested . .

BTRFS disk arrangement on new build. Cockpit says home var and root not mounted

Hi. I just finished a new build to replace my current build. After installing cockpit, and checking Storage, i noticed some warnings about the disks.

number of lines on console
by Greg Woods 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

I've spent about an hour searching without finding an answer. Is there any way from the kernel command line (i.e. by editing the GRUB entry) to control the number of lines on the console? I installed Fedora 39 on a USB stick so that I can use it to boot other computers to diagnose problems with the installed OS. The problem is that when it is booting, the latest console messages are off the bottom of the screen so that I can't see what it's doing (this is on a standard 1920x1080 HD monitor in this case). If the boot hangs, then of course the last few messages are the crucial ones to see. Once the machine is booted, of course, then I can log in and use tools such as "stty" to set the number of rows and cure this problem, but I need something that will take effect during system startup before the login prompt comes up. Thank you, --Greg
