drive layout
by bruce 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi. Doing some research into how devs are using their dev systems in terms of the actual layout/partition of the drives. I've seen plenty of articles, figured I'd ask here as well. If you have an interested, I'd appreciate your thoughts. 1) How is your drive/system laid out regarding your paritions? 2) Do you have multiple drives (SSD/Sata)? 3) Is OS on one drive, apps/data on the other? 4) Do you switch between OS(es)? 5) What's your "backup" process/strategy? 6) What's your "update" strategy(ies)? I'm looking to get a new system AMD/ryzen -8core 16G 256G SSD - 1TBSata I realize that I haven't changed in >10 years, so now is probably a good time get up to date on a number of things! thanks for your insights

Wayland and Nvidia
by Patrick O'Callaghan 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

I updated to F34 today and it all went very smoothly. I'm even running KDE/Plasma under Wayland and so far haven't noticed any issues (touch wood) ... ... except for this: according to: https://fedoramagazine.org/whats-new-fedora-34-workstation/ " ... Fedora still defaults to X.Org when you install the NVIDIA driver." I have the proprietary Nvidia module loaded and both Xorg and Xwayland are running, however there doesn't seem to be any access to the Nvidia GPU. nvidia-settings reports: "Unable to find display on any available system" and my attempts to run Steam games using the Vulkan compatibility layer (which runs happily on Xorg) don't work. Just in case, I tried again using Gnome with the same result. IOW, apparently Nvidia GPUs do not currently work with Wayland, but don't work with Xorg either. Is there something I'm misunderstanding here? poc

gthumb fails to start (f32)
by Eyal Lebedinsky 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Today I noticed that I am running an old version of gthumb, built from src. So I removed the whole package and then installed the standard one: Installed Packages gthumb.x86_64 1:3.10.1-1.fc32 @updates It fails when launched: (gthumb:818392): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 22:58:54.035: Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) I then removed gthumb and any other gthumb related items, then rnstalled gthumb. Now I get an extra warning before the abort: (gthumb:818392): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:58:53.989: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found. (gthumb:818392): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 22:58:54.035: Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) I did some searching but nothing helped. I would rather use the official package and not build from src. [BTW: I later found my notes from 2018 saying that I built from src due to this exact failure] [BTW: I have another similar f32 machine where it works just fine] This is an up-to-date fedora 32 using xfwm4. It was updated for many years so some fluff may be present - maybe an obscured config somewhere? I created a new user and got the same crash, so it is unlikely to be a user config. ===== gdb bt #0 g_log_structured_array (log_level=<optimized out>, fields=0x7ffeb2755b80, n_fields=4) at ../glib/gmessages.c:554 #1 0x00007fd13572fd49 in g_log_default_handler (log_domain=log_domain@entry=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=log_level@entry=6, message=message@entry=0x5603e1f81810 "Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections'", unused_data=unused_data@entry=0x0) at ../glib/gmessages.c:3123 #2 0x00007fd13572ff99 in g_logv (log_domain=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, format=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>) at ../glib/gmessages.c:1350 #3 0x00007fd135730233 in g_log (log_domain=log_domain@entry=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=log_level@entry=G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, format=format@entry=0x7fd13565fb68 "Settings schema '%s' does not contain a key named '%s'") at ../glib/gmessages.c:1415 #4 0x00007fd1355e6bc1 in g_settings_schema_get_value (key=<optimized out>, schema=<optimized out>) at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:982 #5 g_settings_schema_get_value (schema=0x5603e1bbaed0, key=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:968 #6 0x00007fd1355e7230 in g_settings_schema_key_init (key=key@entry=0x7ffeb2755e20, schema=0x5603e1bbaed0, name=name@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:1262 #7 0x00007fd1355eb4a9 in g_settings_get_value (settings=0x5603e1bbae60 [GSettings], key=key@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettings.c:1218 #8 0x00007fd1355ec710 in g_settings_get_strv (settings=<optimized out>, key=key@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettings.c:2198 #9 0x00005603df62cd3a in gth_browser_init (browser=0x5603e1cef8f0 [GthBrowser]) at ../gthumb/gth-browser.c:4776 #10 0x00007fd1354c6498 in g_type_create_instance (type=0x5603e1c9e730 [GthBrowser/GthWindow/GtkApplicationWindow/GtkWindow/GtkBin/GtkContainer/GtkWidget/GInitiallyUnowned]) at ../gobject/gtype.c:1867 #11 0x00007fd1354ac205 in g_object_new_internal (class=class@entry=0x5603e1daa800, params=params@entry=0x0, n_params=n_params@entry=0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:1937 #12 0x00007fd1354ad6ad in g_object_new_with_properties (object_type=0x5603e1c9e730 [GthBrowser/GthWindow/GtkApplicationWindow/GtkWindow/GtkBin/GtkContainer/GtkWidget/GInitiallyUnowned], n_properties=0, names=names@entry=0x0, values=values@entry=0x0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:2105 #13 0x00007fd1354ae331 in g_object_new (object_type=<optimized out>, first_property_name=first_property_name@entry=0x0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:1777 #14 0x00005603df6294d6 in gth_browser_new (location=location@entry=0x5603e1baa500, file_to_select=file_to_select@entry=0x5603e1c88f60) at ../gthumb/gth-browser.c:5081 #15 0x00005603df6239df in open_browser_window (location=0x5603e1baa500, file_to_select=0x5603e1c88f60, force_new_window=<optimized out>) at ../gthumb/gth-application.c:219 #16 0x00005603df623d94 in gth_application_command_line (application=application@entry=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], command_line=command_line@entry=0x5603e1d22160 [GApplicationCommandLine]) at ../gthumb/gth-application.c:299 #17 0x00007fd135572435 in _g_cclosure_marshal_INT__OBJECTv (closure=0x5603e139a5a0, return_value=0x7ffeb2756460, instance=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>, marshal_data=<optimized out>, n_params=<optimized out>, param_types=0x5603e139c4a0) at ../gio/gmarshal-internal.c:845 #18 0x00007fd1354a6ae6 in _g_closure_invoke_va (closure=<optimized out>, return_value=<optimized out>, instance=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>, n_params=<optimized out>, param_types=<optimized out>) at ../gobject/gclosure.c:873 #19 0x00007fd1354bee4b in g_signal_emit_valist (instance=0x5603e13a00f0, signal_id=<optimized out>, detail=0, var_args=var_args@entry=0x7ffeb2756530) at ../gobject/gsignal.c:3407 #20 0x00007fd1354bfc63 in g_signal_emit (instance=instance@entry=0x5603e13a00f0, signal_id=<optimized out>, detail=detail@entry=0) at ../gobject/gsignal.c:3554 #21 0x00007fd1355cebf3 in g_application_call_command_line (exit_status=0x7ffeb2756654, options=<optimized out>, arguments=<optimized out>, application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication]) at ../gio/gapplication.c:1076 #22 g_application_call_command_line (application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], arguments=<optimized out>, options=<optimized out>, exit_status=0x7ffeb2756654) at ../gio/gapplication.c:1054 #23 0x00007fd1355d16cc in g_application_run (application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], argc=-1300928940, argv=<optimized out>) at ../gio/gapplication.c:2540 #24 0x00005603df60bb27 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7ffeb27567c8) at ../gthumb/main.c:55 -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

sieve scripts
by Tim 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi, I've just gotten around to using sieve with Dovecot, and trying to work out how scripts should be written has been a bit of a headache. There doesn't seem to be coherent documentation, just various people's cobbled together notes. So I'm wondering if anybody can see anything glaringly wrong, or missing, that I haven't noticed in this script. It seems to be working, but I don't know if that's by accident, or I've done it right. require ["fileinto"]; ##### mail test 1 ##### #if header :contains "subject" "mailtest" #{ # fileinto "tests"; # stop; #} ##### Fedora list ##### if header :contains "List-Id" "users.lists.fedoraproject.org" { fileinto "lists.Fedora 2021"; stop; } ###### Fedora 32 updates ##### if allof ( header :contains "List-Id" "package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org", header :contains "subject" "Fedora 32 update" ) { fileinto "announcements.Fedora 32"; stop; } ##### Fedora 33 updates ##### if allof ( header :contains "List-Id" "package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org", header :contains "subject" "Fedora 33 update" ) { fileinto "announcements.Fedora 33"; stop; } -- uname -rsvp Linux 5.11.15-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 16 14:19:43 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

ifcfg scripts?
by Tom Horsley 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I just built a fedora 34 virtual machine. Networking clearly works in it since I downloaded updates. But inside the virtual machine there are no /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files. Has NetworkManager completely moved where it stores network information now? I used to be able to copy all the ifcfg scripts to get the network setup the same as the old fedora had. Do I have to recreate my network setup with a bunch of nmcli commands for fedora 34?

Installation on externnal SSD
by Patrick Dupre 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hello, I planed to install fedora on an external SSD. Because the internal disk of the laptop is currently not visible by fedora live, I planed to make the external SSD bootable. I guess that it can be done via grub2. Is there any thing special that I need to be warmed up?

External SSD not recognized

Hello, A Latitude 3410 BIOS does not recognize an external SSD (in USAB-A or USB-C). I see only one reason, it is not UEFI. How can I fix this?

Zoom, Amarok, and other apps that were happy with PulseAudio on F33 are soundless on F34. How do I either re-enable pulseaudio or get them to work with the new audio system? -- -- Steve

UniFi Public Key Authentication
by Kevin Becker 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one so I thought I'd see if anyone has any other suggestions. My home network is all Ubiquity UniFi gear. I have a USG-3P router, a few switches and one AP. There is a UniFi controller app that centrally handles the configuration of the devices, including managing SSH access. You enter a public key in the controller software and it distributes it to all the devices automatically. I rarely actually SSH into any of the devices so I don't know when this stopped working but at some point it did work. I have the public keys for my desktop and laptop, both running Fedora 33, in the controller but when I attempt to SSH I am prompted for the UniFi admin password rather than my private key password. I don't get any sort of cipher mismatch or any other error, it just prompts for the account password. Things I've tried: * Verified permissions on ~/.ssh * I can still SSH into many other hosts and they all accept my RSA key just fine * I removed and re-added the keys in the USG controller * The fingerprint of the keys, as displaying in the controller software, matches the fingerprint in seahorse (Passwords and Keys) * Verified public key auth works to the UniFi gear from several other devices I have, including a Macbook, iPhone, Raspberry Pi, and an Ubuntu VM * I built a fresh Fedora 33 virtual machine, added its public key, and it has the same issue * I verified the keys are actually being copied to the authorized_keys on several different UniFi boxes * Comparing keys to my MacBook, both are RSA and have a length of 3072 Essentially any Fedora box I've tried won't do public key auth to any of the UniFi gear but they all authenticate fine everywhere else, and every non-Fedora device I've tried can authenticate to the UniFi stuff. The UniFi gear doesn't even all run the same OS, the USG runs EdgeOS and has the keys in .ssh/authorized_keys but the switches have a busybox shell and use dropbear for ssh with the keys at /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys I can just use the password for SSH, it's very rare that I actually have any reason to do it at all, it's just the puzzle that is driving me crazy.
