Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 16 May '21

16 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg

puzzling SELinux alert.
by home user 13 May '21

13 May '21

At least 3 times in the past few days I've seen the same SELinux alert. I put the text of the details in the attached file "alerts.txt". All 3 occurrences were while using caja to rename or delete a file, though it does not happen every time I rename or delete a file in caja. These alerts confuse me. There is no directory "/memdf:"... -bash.1[~]: cd / -bash.2[/]: ls -a . boot etc lib64 mnt root srv system-upgrade usr .. .cache home lost+found opt run sys system-upgrade-root var bin dev lib media proc sbin sysroot tmp -bash.3[/]: ls -a /memfd* ls: cannot access '/memfd*': No such file or directory -bash.4[/]: Also, the directory name (ending with a colon?) looks fishy. Further, the filename ".nvidia_drv.XXXXXX" looks fishy (but "legal"). The instruction does not work: -bash.4[/]: /sbin/restorecon -v /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX (deleted) -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' -bash.4[/]: -bash.5[/]: /sbin/restorecon -v /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX /sbin/restorecon: SELinux: Could not get canonical path for /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX restorecon: No such file or directory. -bash.6[/]: I gather that a directory and or file (whatever its name really is) are missing? How do I fix this?

System Failure?
by home user 11 May '21

11 May '21

I did my weekly patches (dnf upgrade), rebooted, and logged in as a regular user. A problem popped-up. The top part of the details is below. I'm not (yet) seeing any other problems. Is this a false alarm? If not, what should I do? --------------- not-reportable The backtrace does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be reported. It is annoying but it does not necessarily signalize a problem with your computer. ABRT will not allow you to create a report in a bug tracking system but you can contact kernel maintainers via e-mail. reason traps: fwupd[130814] general protection fault ip:7f6c8fea2122 sp:7fffe5746b60 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8[7f6c8fe80000+8b000] backtrace traps: fwupd[130814] general protection fault ip:7f6c8fea2122 sp:7fffe5746b60 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8[7f6c8fe80000+8b000] cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos3)/vmlinuz-5.11.15-200.fc33.x86_64 root=UUID=45e553d2-fa0c-4eae-95f6-7bf9086ab74c ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:on modprobe.blacklist=nouveau package kernel-core-5.11.15-200.fc33 component kernel hostname coyote count 1 first occurence 2021-04-22 11:03:20 last occurence 2021-04-22 11:03:20 user unknown user type/analyzer Kerneloops/abrt-oops pkg-fingerprint 49FD 7749 9570 FF31 kernel 5.11.15-200.fc33.x86_64 pkg_vendor Fedora Project runlevel N 5 os_release Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three) duphash 913d3ca671c62c4a2304f3f1ea8bded67351e0c0 uuid 913d3ca671c62c4a2304f3f1ea8bded67351e0c0 architecture x86_64 abrt_version 2.14.5 data directory /var/spool/abrt/oops-2021-04-22-11:03:20-875-0

Restored f33 on new drive from a tarball now a problem
by Robert McBroom 11 May '21

11 May '21

New drive has the same msdos partition structure as the old. Legacy system with boot partition on a separate drive and from the root partition. System boots in mode 3 as specified but entering id and password flashes some text and returns to the login. Edited the grub entry to try a graphical boot but still get textmode. What can be done to get access to f33?

Fedora 34, kde, wayland, klipper, no primary selection
by Aleksandar Kostadinov 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hi, I just upgraded from Fedora 32. Now KDE uses wayland. I configure in clipboard settings to sync primary seletion to no avail. Primary selection only usable within the same window. I read on the internet it should be working. Any ideas? PS Any idea how to fix kwallet that gives me this after entering my gpg key password: > Encryption error while attempting to save the wallet kdewallet. Error code is 53 (Unusable public key). Please fix your system configuration, then try again. This error may occur if you are not using a full trust GPG key. Please ensure you have the secret key for the key you are using.

Receiving files via Bluetooth
by m3freak＠thesandhufamily.ca 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hello, I have an old BlackBerry Z30 successfully paired with my Fedora 32 desktop. I can send files to the phone from Fedora without any problems. But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to receive files from the phone. Every time I try to share a file over BlueTooth from the phone to my paired desktop, the phone starts the transfer and then immediately errors out with the message, "Failed to find service". I've tried a number very random things, but nothing seems to work. I don't even know how to start explaining what I've tried. :/ Frustrated doesn't begin to explain what I'm feeling right now because two other file transfer methods from the phone that have worked in years past refuse to work now. I figured that Bluetooth would be the simplest! Is this suppose to just work or have I neglected to do something? -- Ranbir

F33->F34: paps output has changed
by Max Pyziur 02 May '21

02 May '21

Greetings, Thank you to the Fedora team for the F34 roll-out; upgrades were seamless: seemingly a trend not an anomoly. I'm a paps users (paps is a PostScript converter from plain text file using Pango), having at one time used enscript. My general CLI invocation has been: paps --columns=3 --landscape --paper=letter --font="Arial 6" /tmp/x3 | lpr -P lp3 This is generally sent to an HP53xx printer. /tmp/x3 is just a temporary text file copied from somewhere else. With the F34 upgrade, the output is a little uneven in print quality as far as the fonts are concerned. I've tried changing the "Arial 6" to "Serif 6", then to "Sans 6" The last seems to be satifactory. The goal here is to print text files of from a variety of sources: code, essays, articles, etc., in a compact space to read. Not so much to print publication-quality stuff. I would be interested in suggestions from other paps users on their preferred Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com
