Fedora 30, BootLoaderSpec and generating entries under /boot/loader/entries
by Kevin Wilson
Hi all,
I had installed Fedora 30, on a dual boot machine which has a second
partition with Fedora 28.
Fedora 30 comes by default with a new boot loader spec.
I found under /boot/loader/entries/ the following:
ls /boot/loader/entries/
ec1b8b7719964c8b9a1d8db430c63fd6-0-rescue.conf
ec1b8b7719964c8b9a1d8db430c63fd6-5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64.conf0
I want to be able to boot by default into Fedora 28.
Is there a way by some utility to generate entries under
/boot/loader/entries/ for the
Fedora 28 and choose Fedora 28 as the default ?
Or should I disable the boot loader spec in order to boot to Fedora 28
on this machine ?
Regards,
Kevin

is grubby a dumb software?
by François Patte
Bonjour,
For a long time now grubby has replaced grub2-mkconfig to update the
grub.cfg file. From this time, I have to correct the kernel update
manualy with grub2-mkconfig because every time grubby chooses a wrong
partition as the / partition.
The choosen partition is not mounted, it is empty, with no boot flag....
Why grubby chooses this partition? It is so stupide that I am wondering
what is the way followed by grubby to to this?
Thank you for any light.

DHCP fails on wired Ethernet after F29-F30 upgrade
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
I've been running F30 on my Lenovo P72 laptop since upgrading to the
beta. I had all sorts of SELinux problems until I reset the contexts.
Now there's one last problem I haven't been able to fix and that's the
wired Ethernet port. Whenever I connect to it, the NetworkManager
applet loops and loops without ever getting a DHCP address. It worked
fine in F29, and so does the WiFi port with DHCP in F30.
systemd baffles me, and the lack of /var/log/messages doesn't give me
much to look thru. I've run 'journalctl -u NetworkManager' to see what
happens when I plug in the RJ-45 connector, then disconnect it:

The wired Ethernet never comes up, but as soon as I unplug it the WiFi
port's DHCP connection resumes perfectly.
Can anyone suggest the next step?

OT - Antivirus clean up USB
by Javier Perez
Hi. This is Off Topic.
Is there a reliable usb or dvd distribution with tools to clean up
viruses, root kits, whatever from a Hard drive?
I got a quite slow windows 10 laptop from a nephew for clean up (I do not
know what kind of viruses/malware might be lurking in there).
Rather than hooking it to my home network I would prefer to first start it
from a cleaning usb/dvd and at least catch and erase them off line instead
of giving them the opportunity to try and conquer my linux realm :)
Thanks

Kernel 5.0.17 Vega failing on boot.
by Leander Hutton
Hello, I have an AMD Ryzen with a Vega 56 graphics card running Fedora
30 and the 5.0.17 update the graphics output seems to just die after
grub. Rolled back to the previous kernel (5.0.16) in grub and it comes
up just fine. No errors or logs ... just sits there at the ASRock logo
on screen after selecting the kernel. From what I can tell it is
actually installed. Tried runlevel 1 and 3 as well and it does the same
thing. The kernel works fine on my laptop but that's an Intel machine.
Standard grub command line arguments except amddgpu.gpu_recovery=1 for
the Vega card. I did also try it with that removed and still no go. I
can SSH into it just fine but the screen is just sitting there with the
BIOS manufacturer's logo, nothing telling in dmesg or /var/log/messages
and it doesn't set off abrt.
I'm running a pretty standard Fedora system with only some codecs and
non-free software from rpmfusion. The only other thing I changed
recently was adding the ROCm for OpenCL image support on my Radeon card.
I removed those after I noticed this issue and reran dracut to no avail,
reinstalled the kernel and all related packages as well. Nothing.
Anyway, looks like I really loused something up. Luckily the older
kernel still works fine. Any other ideas out there? Maybe the ROCm
packages left something behind (removed with dnf remove)?
Thanks!

Possible nvidia driver
by rodmccown@aircanopy.net
Updated Fedora 30 system with all latest, and latest kernel. Gnome doesn't start, but consoles seem to be ok and it does boot to multiuser....I think. When I reboot down into the previous kernel, 5.0.13-300.fc30.x86_64, everything works fine.
> Wondering if there is a problem with the newer kernel and my nvidia card, GeForce GT 640. Haven't had time to really look yet, but wondering if anyone else has run across this?
> Thanks.

Also, Thanks Patrick O'Callaghan for so kindly informing me of how to ask for help on this user list. Last time I asked for help I was 2 versions behind on the OS and I got roasted because the OS version was too old. Maybe I should try Ubuntu.

OSM??
by Beartooth
Can dnf get me OSM? I tried osm, OSM, and openstreetmap. I don't
doubt there's some sort of .iso on their own site, but with a program so
vast ...

Vagrant vbguest on Fedora 30
by Paul-Erik Törrönen
Seems like there's a conflict between rubygem libs in Vagrant:
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
Installing the 'vagrant-vbguest' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
/usr/share/gems/gems/psych-3.1.0/lib/psych.rb:237: warning: already
initialized constant Psych::LIBYAML_VERSION
/usr/share/ruby/psych.rb:237: warning: previous definition of

/usr/share/ruby/psych.rb:239: warning: previous definition of NOT_GIVEN

Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,
reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually
caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
issues. The error from Bundler is:
conflicting dependencies fog-core (~> 1.43.0) and fog-core (= 2.1.2)
Activated fog-core-2.1.2
which does not match conflicting dependency (~> 1.43.0)
Conflicting dependency chains:
fog-core (= 2.1.2), 2.1.2 activated
versus:
vagrant-libvirt (> 0), 0.0.41 activated, depends on
fog-core (~> 1.43.0)
I attempted to rebuild the vagrant/vagrant-libvirt package with
definitions for a newer (2.1.2) fog-core but this did not seem to fix
it.
Installed packages:
$ rpm -qa | grep vagrant
vagrant-2.2.4-1.fc30.noarch
vagrant-libvirt-0.0.45-1.fc30.noarch
$ rpm -qa | grep fog-core
rubygem-fog-core-2.1.2-2.fc30.noarch
Any clues on how to get vagrant working again?
TIA,
Poltsi
