Fedora 31 - pam_u2f - Yubikey 5
by Winfried de Heiden 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hi all, Using Fedora 31, pam_u2f and a Yubikey5 works well after: authselect select sssd with-mkhomedir with-pam-u2f with-sudo without- nullok and pamu2fcfg –u[username] > ~/.config/Yubico/u2f_keys However, from the console (without GDM, multi-user.target for example) it does not work: Linux will ask for my password where the yubikey should be sufficient. Any ideas what could be wrong? Winfried

system clock out of sync after a reboot
by Sam Varshavchik 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

I have chrony running and pointing to my ISP's time server, not the Fedora pool, so it's always the same NTP server. This box is up 24/7, and I just rebooted it. And I get this, after a reboot: Nov 23 08:53:10 shorty chronyd[992]: System clock TAI offset set to 37 seconds Nov 23 08:53:10 shorty chronyd[992]: System clock wrong by -5.652285 seconds, adjustment started Nov 23 08:53:10 shorty chronyd[992]: System clock was stepped by -5.652285 seconds This was a reboot, and not a shutdown. I believe that something should be saving the system time to the hardware clock, so after a reboot things are more or less where they are, and this looks like is not happening. I should not have chrony adjust time by that much after a reboot. Anyone know where to investigate this further?

how can I use a live usb to update ?
by Sean Darcy 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

I upgraded 29-> 30. Now I can't even get to the boot screen. I've made a live usb stick, but the stick only wants to install a completely new system. Is there any way to use the stick to troubleshoot the existing installation. If I had to guess the upgrade screwed up the the UEFI boot. I can boot to bios, but not to the boot loader.

Dear All, Radiotray on my machine running Fedora 31 does not output any sound. However, everything regarding sound on my computer works fine (e.g., YouTube, VLC, etc.) Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

Keyboard Shortcuts
by Simon Colston 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Fedora Workstation 31 GNOME My installation has a default of English (UK) but occasionally I use Japanese so I installed Japanese language support. When using the Japanese IME one of the keyboard shortcuts is Alt+`. However, when I use this it brings up an application switch screen. I looked through the Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard Shortcuts but there is nothing defined for Alt+`. I also noticed that "Switch Application" is set to Super+Tab (which works) but Alt+Tab does the same thing even though this is not defined anywhere. So my question is, how can I disable these unwanted keyboard shortcuts? -- Simon

24 hour time in Thunderbird -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

How to configure 24 hour time, instead of AM/PM, in Thunderbird 62.2.0 nd/or 62.2.2. Presently I have created /usr/bin/thunderbird24h: /usr/bin/thunderbird24h: #!/bin/sh LC_TIME=C export LC_TIME /usr/bin/thunderbird and rebooted but the AM/PM time is still being used. Have I nissed something or has something changed since Fedora-20?

.bash_profile: line execution based on su vs. direct login.
by home user 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

(Fedora-30) good morning, My .bash_profile looks like this: --------------- # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin export PATH ksysguard & # the end. --------------- But I want the KSysGuard to be launched only when: * the session is interactive (not batch, cron, anacron, or at); and * it's a direct login from the login screen, not an "su" connection. How do I do that in my .bash_profile? That is, ----- if [ what goes here? ]; then ksysguard & fi ----- How do I, within the .bash_profile if test, distinguish su connection vs. direct login from the login screen? Bill.

Thunderbird and duplicate messages
by Alex 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Hi, I have a fedora30 desktop with Thunderbird 68.1.1 (64-bit), although I'm not sure the version matters. It's configured to connect using IMAP to a dovecot system also on fedora30. The problem is that when Thunderbird is open on multiple computers (the other is my Windows laptop), virtually every message received is duplicated. I'm not entirely surprised, considering two systems are competing for the same connection. However, this doesn't happen with my K-9 client on my phone with Thunderbird also open on my desktop. Perhaps someone knows of a Thunderbird or dovecot setting that maybe closes the connection when it's done updating, or some other configuration option that prevents this?

Order of Users Displayed in Gnome Login Screen
by Tim Evans 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

I reported this at the time I upgraded my two systems to F30, and find that it's still true with F31. On my main (desktop) machine, there are two users, one of which (me) is flagged as the administrative user; the other is a mere mortal. My userid was displayed on the Gnome login screen; the other accessible by clicking the "Not shown" link on the screen. After the F29->F30 upgrade, the order of the two users was reversed, with the non-admin user displayed by default. My own account is accessible via the "Not shown" link. This has not changed after my in-place (via dnf) upgrade to F31. The secondary, non-admin user is displayed as the default login on the login screen. On my other system, a laptop, there was only one user account created prior to the F29-F30 upgrade. When I ran the F29->F30 upgrade and rebooted, I was FORCED to create a (new) admin user account, despite there being one admin user already there. The new user now appears first on the Gnome login screen; the existing user is accessible, again, via the "Not shown" link. This did not change after my in-place (via dnf) upgrade to F31. The newly-created userid is displayed as the default login on the login screen. While the extra click on "Not shown" is not a major big deal, I'm unable to figure out how to flip-flop the two userids on the systems so that the primary user appears on the login screen. Suggestions/discussion welcome. Thanks. -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117

USB flakes out?
by Tom Horsley 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

I'm now running fedora 31 on my system at home and at work. On both systems I occasionally notice all my xinput settings have reverted to default, as if I unplugged my mouse and plugged it back in (even though I didn't unplug it). Has anyone else noticed USB weirdness like this? Looking at dmesg, that seems to be what the kernel thinks happened: [ 36.142138] 8021q: 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8 [ 36.188272] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp0s29u1u2: link becomes ready [28350.784597] usb 2-1-port5: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

I have no idea what an EMI is, but that's what starts everything.
