How do I generate grub for legacy?
by ToddAndMargo 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi All, I have a Fedora 30 flash drive set up for dual booting from Legacy or UEFI. It boots beautifully from UEFI. (It also have a bios_grub partition). It booted perfectly from both under Fedora 29. Now when booting from legacy, it go into "System Setup". If you press system Setup, I get a "/grub/core-system" type error Remaking grub.cfg, I get # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub configuration file ... Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done Uhhhhh.. I wanted legacy, not EFI. What am I missing?

SELinux label problem on a VM
by Patrick O'Callaghan 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

I have a small F29 Server VM (KVM/QEMU) which has not changed recently and has worked consistently for several months. Now when I try to boot it I get: Requested operation is not valid: Setting different SELinux label on /home/poc/VM/vm-f29b.qcow2 which is already in use I haven't touched any SElinux settings, though I do update my host F30 system on a daily basis so something may have changed. The current context for that file is: $ ls -lZ vm-f29b.qcow2 -rw-------. 1 qemu qemu system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c467,c977 21478375424 Aug 11 11:14 vm-f29b.qcow2 Any thoughts on what I should look at? poc

NFS and Firewalld -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

My NFS problems continue. The hard drive was replaced, Fedora 30 installed and NFS is configured. I think the configuration is good, I followed the instructions anyway. Firewlld appears to be a new stumbling block and I don't know how to fix it. I looked at the Firewalld GUI and there is nothing intuitive about it. If I stop Firewlld, showmount displays the exports. [bobg@box83 ~]$ showmount -e 192.168.2.128 clnt_create: RPC: Unable to receive "systemctl stop firewalld" on the server: [bobg@box83 ~]$ showmount -e 192.168.2.128 Export list for 192.168.2.128: /home 192.168.2.0/24 Any help appreciated. -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box83 FEDORA-30/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

firefox in f30
by François Patte 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Bonjour, I have just upgraded to f30 from f29. As I wanted to use firefox, I had a warning: "create a new profile"..... Why I can't use my previous profile? I tried to create a new profile and: all my bookmarks, all my addons all my previous config have disappeared. How can I recover? How can use my old config, bookmarks etc. Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

f30 some packages have disappeared....
by François Patte 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Bonjour, I use to compile the last version of darktable anytime they make updates to that software. Upgrading from f29 to f30, my darktable no more works: libexiv2.so.26 not found... This is normal: it is now libexiv2.so.27. So, I wanted to recompile darktable but I failed.... On darktable site they give the list of needed packages to compile and a lot are missing in f30: libsqlite3, gtk+-3, ..... and some others. As I successfully compiled darktable on f29, I think that these packages were available in f29 and no more available in f30. Why? Thank you. PS. to solve the libexiv2.so.26 problem I created a link libexiv2.so.26 ---> libexiv2.so.27 but is this way of doing is a correct solution? -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

I want to set the update to a stable version of Fedora distro after I follow an system upgrade. I try to follow this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade This not work well, the output comes with fc30, fc31, fc32 versions for packages and loop into this way, see the example: ... Public key for zvbi-0.2.35-9.fc31.x86_64.rpm is not installed. Failing package is: zvbi-0.2.35-9.fc31.x86_64 GPG Keys are configured as: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-30-x86_64 The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: GPG check FAILED Any help with this issue? mythcat

Gnome Shell crashes when playing sound in Chrome
by SternData 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

I thought this was a video related, but it turns out to be audio. If I play a video or audio via Chrome, gnome-shell crashes as soon as I un-mute the media player. Unfortunately, the crash does not leave a reportable dump file. Any ideas of what to look at? -- -- Steve

by arnaud gaboury 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

I run Fedora atomic 29. I made a mistake by removing one very important SELinux module: su. I can no more su (I can sudo), which is very annoying. To get back the module, I need to reinstall the selinux-policy-targeted package. ------------------------------------------ % sudo setenforce 0 % sudo rpm-ostree uninstall selinux-policy-targeted error:package/capability 'selinux-policy-targeted' isnot currently requested % rpm -qa | grep selinux ..... 182:selinux-policy-targeted-3..... ------------------------- Following this[0] thread, I tried: ---------------------------- % sudo rpm-ostree override remove selinux-policy-targeted [sudo] password for gabx: Checking out tree cb40a05... done Resolving dependencies... done Applying 1 override and 79 overlays Processing packages... done Running pre scripts... done Running post scripts... done Writing rpmdb... done Writing OSTree commit... done error: With policy root '/proc/self/fd/25/usr/etc/selinux/targeted': selabel_open(SELABEL_CTX_FILE): No such file or directory ----------------------------------- How can I delete/install or reinstall it? Is there a way to get back the su module? Thank you for help [0]https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1386

Unable to install vagrant-scp
by Sudheer Satyanaraana 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hello, I am on Fedora 30. I am unable to install the Vagrant plugin vagrant-scp. I get this error: vagrant plugin install vagrant-scp Installing the 'vagrant-scp' 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 LIBYAML_VERSION was here /usr/share/gems/gems/psych-3.1.0/lib/psych.rb:239: warning: already initialized constant Psych::NOT_GIVEN /usr/share/ruby/psych.rb:239: warning: previous definition of NOT_GIVEN was here 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) As you can see, there's an issue resolving dependencies. How do I go about resolving this issue? - Sudheer S
