Hello, With fedora32, I created a btrfs partition with gparted fdisk see it as of type 83, ie. like a ext4 partition.

btrfs system slow down with 100GB file
by Richard Shaw 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

I'm getting significant iowait while writing to a 100GB file. I have already made it nocow by copying it to another directory, marking the director nocow (+C) and using cat <oldfile> <newfile> to re-create it from scratch. I was under the impression that this should fix the problem. On a tangent, it took about 30 minutes to delete the old file... My system is a Ryzen 5 3600 w/ 16GB or memory but it is a spinning disk. I use an NVME for the system and the spinning disk for /home. Currently I'm getting random GUI freezes due to the iowait problem and my HDD indicator light basically stays on solid for over an hour now. Any tips? Thanks, Richard

Problems upgrading to Fedora 34
by Feoli, Dr. Enrique 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hello, I am unfamiliar on how to communicate in th users lists. I hope not to be breaking Code of Conduct by sending this emal. I have found Fedora a great working tool and need to upgrade from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34. But the download in the Software app is giving the following error: Error running transaction: file/usr/.build-id/c7/-dcd663e38adaac7a2d6d137c46f337ab5543cf conflicts between attempted installs of openjfx8-80.202-26.b07.fc34x86_64 and openjfx-3:11.0.9.2-4.fc34x86_64 Would anyone help in fixing this problem? Thanks and regards Enrique Feoli

download gets partial data
by Eyal Lebedinsky 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

In the last day I am having a problem downloading files. Using ff I downloaded the f34 Workstation image but the download stopped after 1.1GB of 1.9GB. I tried to download directly from the mirror and I get: $ curl -LO 'https://fedora.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au/linux/releases/34/Workstation/x…' % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 1914M 0 623k 0 0 1303k 0 0:25:03 --:--:-- 0:25:03 1303k curl: (18) transfer closed with 2006729431 bytes remaining to read Same with wget. Another data point: I later did a "dnf update" and noticed a similar failure: Downloading Packages: (1/4): java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-0.fc32_1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.drpm [MIRROR] java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.rpm: Curl error (18): Transferred a partial file for https://fedora.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au/linux/updates/32/Everything/x86… [transfer closed with 34257290 bytes remaining to read] (2/4): java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.282.b08-0.fc32_1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.drpm [DRPM 1/2] java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-0.fc32_1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.drpm: done (3/4): xdg-desktop-portal-1.8.1-2.fc32.x86_64.rpm (4/4): java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.rpm [DRPM 2/2] java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.282.b08-0.fc32_1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc32.x86_64.drpm: done I see this on two f32 machines. A search did not return recent reports like this. I tried to download (with curl) ubuntu-21.04-live-server-amd64.iso and this downloaded OK. Maybe fedora and the mirrors have an issue as f34 is being distributed? This looks like some sort of systemic problem somewhere. Anyone else sees this? -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

zabbix server/agent on F34
by Paolo Galtieri 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

I installed F34 in a VM and installed the zabbix server and agent. I have updated the system to the latest. When I run the zabbix server and agent I get a lot of SELinux alerts. SELinux is preventing zabbix_agentd from getattr access on the fifo_file /run/initctl Source Context system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:initctl_t:s0 Target Objects /run/initctl [ fifo_file ] Source zabbix_agentd Source Path zabbix_agentd SELinux is preventing zabbix_agentd from getattr access on the sock_file /run/systemd/journal/dev-log.

Any help is appreciated. Paolo

F34 problems
by Matti Pulkkinen 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hello! I installed Fedora 34 Workstation on my laptop with the latest ISO from getfedora.org, and have now run into two problems: 1. Just before the computer prompts me for the disk encryption password, the following flashes on the screen quickly: [FAILED] Failed to start Setup Virtual Console [DEPEND] Dependency failed for dracũadditional cmdline parameters 2. The second thing is that even though the password prompt indicates a Finnish keyboard layout (which is what I use), I actually need to enter my password with a US layout. I suspect this is related to problem 1. Which component should I report this problem against? Would dracut do it, since that's what the error message suggests? -- Terveising / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

wayward wayland.
by home user 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

While trying to diagnose problems as a part of another thread in this list, I discovered that wayland is not functional on my workstation. I'm currently logged in to gnome using the top "GNOME" entry in the menu of desktops that is displayed in the upper right corner of the monitor during login. Results of tests suggested in that other thread: bash.12[~]: env | grep -i wayland bash.13[~]: ps -ef | grep -i wayland weilian+ 128352 2160 0 11:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i wayland bash.14[~]: ps -ef | grep -i earlyoom weilian+ 128358 2160 0 11:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i earlyoom bash.15[~]: Also, I tried logging in to plasma with wayland. After entering my credentials, the screens went black. After 2 minutes, I hit the hard reset and rebooted. Through 8 years of weekly patches and semi-annual upgrades, I've never done anything to block or disable wayland. Shouldn't it have been automatically installed somewhere in those 8 years? How do I get wayland properly working on my workstation?

How can I see a custom grub entry to be the default?
by Barry Scott 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

I have a PC that has Windows 10 and Fedora install in duel boot configuration. I have been using this grub config file to add the ability to boot to Windows using grub. : [1] root $ cat /etc/grub.d/09_custom #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry 'Windows' { insmod part_gpt insmod chain set root='hd0,gpt2' chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi boot } Using grubby I can use the set-default-index to default the next boot to any of the installed fedora kernels. But sometimes I would like to default the next grub boot to be the Windows entry. How can I do that? Barry

Does anyone have an explanation for this network failure? Or, more to the point, is the problem more likely to be local rather than with the server? wget -vvv -O ml https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/track/8G441/tr… --2021-04-29 07:11:56-- https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/track/8G441/tr… Resolving www.podtrac.com (www.podtrac.com) 44.231.197.162, 54.200.97.37, 52.24.105.221 Connecting to www.podtrac.com (www.podtrac.com)|44.231.197.162|:443... connected.
