Swap still not activated on later kernels
by Sreyan Chakravarty 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

The bug still persists. I am on Fedora 32 and just upgraded to the latest 5.8 kernel. I am still getting the error of my swap file being failed to be activated, and as a result I have no swap space after boot. I use a swap file and not a swap partition. This problem is carried over from the 5.7 kernel, I reported it over here. It still exists in the 5.8 kernel. How do I activate my swap file ? Is there some sort of work around ? -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty

Not enough swap space for hibernation
by Sreyan Chakravarty 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hi, I have just upgraded to the new 5.8 kernel on Fedora 32. I have also configured my swap as a swap file of 8GB. But when I try to hibernate using the following command: $ systemctl hibernate Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation I have no idea why this is happening when I have 8GB of free swap space : $ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7.7Gi 1.6Gi 4.1Gi 269Mi 2.0Gi 5.6Gi Swap: 8.0Gi 0B 8.0Gi My RAM is also 8GB. Any ideas ? -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty

error at bootup with packagekitd
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

hello, When booting up I am seeing an error: [ 42.705549] packagekitd[1249]: segfault at 8 ip 000055e54df483ea sp 00007ffdb2914ac0 error 4 in packagekitd[55e54df44000+28000] This error may be slowing down my bootup, I believe, there is step in bootup that is taking up more time than the rest. Any ideas as to why this is happening. I am runninig Fedora Workstation 33, in dual boot with Windows 10. I am not noticing any effects on my system, besides the error that is shown at bootup. thank you,

Policy regarding opt-out telemetry and privacy
by Olivier Lemasle 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hi all, I'm packaging Open Policy Agent [1] (OPA) for Fedora. However, with version 0.20.0, OPA added a telemetry service, enabled by default, reporting to a OPA-managed service the OPA version, a UUID and the build architecture (cf changelog [2] and privacy information [3]) I didn't find any Fedora policy regarding this kind of opt-out telemetry, so I asked the Fedora Packaging Commitee for advice [4]. I got advised to ask Fedora community on this mailing list. So do you think it is ok to package OPA as is, or should I patch it to make telemetry opt-in by disabling it by default in the Fedora package? More globally, what do you think should be done in Fedora packages when an upstream project includes a telemetry service? Thank you & regards, -- Olem [1] https://www.openpolicyagent.org/ [2] https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/releases/tag/v0.20.0 [3] https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/privacy/ [4] https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/991

start a service after bluetooth
by Hetz Ben Hamo 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hi, I have a sound bar which is using bluetooth. My problem is that while my machine (Fedora 33) starts and bluetooth is starting, it doesn't auto pair and I have to click "connect" manually each boot. So I'm trying to create a workaround. I've created a simple systemd file which runs a script that uses bluetoothctl to pair between the two. My systemd file looks like this: [Unit] Description=Fix Pulse Audio After=bluetooth.target Requisite=bluetooth.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fixaudio.sh User=hetz Type=Simple [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target bluetooth.target My script (fixaudio.sh): #!/bin/bash sleep 3 echo "Trying to pair...." rm -f /tmp/fix.log bluetoothctl connect C4:30:18:A0:2F:33 > /tmp/fix.log The problem: any time I try to restart the bluetooth service, it ignores this systemd file (and yes, it's enabled and I ran systemctl daemon-reload) I tried to edit the bluetooth.service file and add BindsTo=fix.service (which is the name of the systemd file), but as soon as I ran the systemctl daemon-reload - it restarted the bluetooth in a loop. Any suggestions? Thanks

Is there a voice to text program that will work with Fedora Linux as some of my friends have for their smart phones? It would not have to be free to be considered. -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA FEDORA-32/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Update chrome?
by Neal Becker 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

There are widely reported zero-days related to chrome, and chrome is telling me "update" in the top right corner. If I do update outside of dnf, will the next dnf update still be effective? Thanks, Neal -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

Grub2 Boot Menu Hidden in Fedora 33
by Stephen Morris 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

In Fedora 32 issuing the command sudo grub2-editenv - unset auto_hide_menu would enable the display of the grub boot menu. This does not work in Fedora 33. I did find some details on the net on how to get the menu to display on the next boot, but that was not a permanent solution. In Fedora 33 is the only way to get the menu to permanently display to edit /etc/grub.d/12_menu_auto_hide and change the timeout_style and timeout settings within the else condition for the fastboot check? I currently have the menu permanently displayed as a result of making this modification. regards, Steve

fstrim for ESP on SSDs
by Jorge Fábregas 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi, I've been running with the fstrim.timer for years and recently noticed that my ESP partition always reports the same amount for trimmed blocks (512MB). It appears fstrim doesn't support FAT32 filesystems? Should I use the "discard" option in fstab for /boot/efi ? I know it's not a big issue since we seldom write the ESP after installation except for /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv after updates (or perhaps shim updates) but I'm wondering... Thanks. -- Jorge
