Cinnamon 4.6 makes my display flickering
by Marco Guazzone 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Hi, I have just upgraded Cinnamon to the new 4.6 version with dnf and then rebooted the system. When I log in, Cinnamon makes my screen flickering, with half screen blue and the other half screen showing (a half of) my background image. Just for testing, I created a new user to start Cinnamon with a fresh new configuration. Same problems experienced If I use Gnome shell (Classic), then I log out, and then I use Cinnamon the problem disappears, apparently. Any idea? Thanks for your help. Marco

Mount samba share using pam_mount
by Simon Colston 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Fedora Workstation 32 I'm trying to mount a samba share at login using pam_mount. The steps I've taken so far after googling and man-page reading are: 1. In /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml I uncommented the line: <luserconf name=".pam_mount.conf.xml" /> 2. Created the file ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml containing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <pam_mount> <volume options="uid=%(USERUID),gid=%(USERGID)" user="%(USER)" mountpoint="~/diskstation/home" path="home" server="diskstation.local" fstype="cifs" /> </pam_mount> 3. To add pam_mount.so to pam.d I changed /etc/pam.d/login to: #%PAM-1.0 auth substack system-auth auth optional pam_mount.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth # pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule session required pam_selinux.so close session optional pam_mount.so session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so # pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context session required pam_selinux.so open session required pam_namespace.so session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth session include postlogin -session optional pam_ck_connector.so and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password to: auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth substack password-auth auth optional pam_mount.so auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include password-auth password substack password-auth -password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok session required pam_selinux.so close session optional pam_mount.so session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so session include password-auth session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session include postlogin I log out and back in again and... it does not work. (I can mount this share from the command line using the mount command.) So my question is... what am I doing wrong? Simon

I had a bad drive in a LMV setup after using 'vgreduce --removemissing --force vg00' I cannot mount the LVM
by D&R 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

I found instructions that resulted in failure to replace the bad drive. The 'bad' drive still works but the directions to add a new drive did not work. I shutdown the computer and unplugged the 'bad' drive. On rebooting I ran: vgreduce --removemissing --force vg00 I was not able to mount the lvm afterwards. I have looked for instructions on deleting the lvm and creating a new lvm and I have not been able to recover. I am running Fedora 31. pvs displays: at this point I have not added /dev/sda1 to the volume group. PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda1 lvm2 --- 931.51g 931.51g # this is the new drive /dev/sdb1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <465.76g 0 # this is the bad drive /dev/sdc1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <465.76g 0 /dev/sdd1 vg00 lvm2 a-- <3.64t 0 I created a new lvm. lvs displays: LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert LVM vg00 -wi-a----- <4.55t using the command: mount /dev/mapper/vg00-LVM /tv displays this error: mount: /tv: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-LVM, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. I do not know what the next step should be. If I have left anything out please let me know. Thanks for any assist, David
