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

btrfs system slow down with 100GB file
by Richard Shaw 01 May '21

01 May '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

download gets partial data
by Eyal Lebedinsky 01 May '21

01 May '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)

by Paolo Galtieri 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.

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
