How to set the (virtual) BIOS time before a VM boots
by Fulko Hew 25 May '21

25 May '21

I'm trying to do some Y2038 testing, using VMs. So what I'd like to do is have the time pre-set to after the Y2038 time and then boot an OS/VM (to have the 'BIOS' provide the post 2038 time). (In this case I'm trying to test an application under Win XP.) [Please, no emails about upgrading the OS. Customer wants... customer gets...] How does Fedora's Virtual Machine manager and QEMU support this? Or can it? TIA Fulko

Font Issue.....
by Eddie O'Connor 25 May '21

25 May '21

Greetings my fellow Fedorans! I have a question / puzzle that I can't seem to fix. Ok soooo I am using a Lenovo ThinkCenter M-83 / 32GB RAM / 500GB SSD Installed a fresh copy of Fedora 34 on it and the install and initial setup went without a hitch. I have failing eyes, and I prefer certain fonts when I use the various apps and programs, to help my vision. I have opened the Terminal and have tried to change the font to something, ANYTHING "bold"?....but there's no bold fonts options. there's the Sans and Monospace, but no Monospace "Bold". I've tried installing the font, but even though it appears as an option with Gnome Tweaks?...and I've set it there?...when I open the Terminal it STILL doesn't have any bold options!! I've even made sure to install the RPM Fusion repos in the hopes that they're in there, but nothing. Is there something that I need to do to get the Monospace Bold Font back? I know its there in F33 (on my Dell XPS running Fedora 33) so what happened?...is there no longer a way to get that font?..or am I just losing brain cells? Did I miss something? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you all in advance!! Cheers! EGO II

Hey all - I seem to be getting the following error message whenever I try to create a group via the web interface: IPA Error 4205: ObjectclassViolation missing attribute "sambaGroupType" required by object class "sambaGroupMapping" I'm not sure exactly what's happening, except that I know I've created groups numerous times before, and never gotten this error message. Does anyone have any ideas?

Troubleshooting with Pipewire after uncompleted update
by Diego Iván Martínez Escobar 25 May '21

25 May '21

Greetings, everyone, Yesterday, while updating my system, the power went out, and the process did not complete. Initially, the system could not get into the gnome-shell. I could solve this by completing the update by booting it into the text terminal. When I could finally use the gnome-shell, the audio did not work. Switching to Pulseaudio can solve the problem, but I noticed that Pipewire config file broke, it was empty (I thought this was the reason Pipewire was not working). I installed back again Pipewire, and DNF created a config file by default. When rebooting and logging back, it did not work either, a solution I found was running Pipewire from the terminal and specifying the config file with pipewire -c /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf And it made audio work back again (finally!). Still, I would like to know if it is possible to get it running just when logged in. Any help or comments are welcomed. Thanks for reading!

Preserving @home brtfs subvolume on a fresh Fedora installation
by Marco Guazzone 24 May '21

24 May '21

Hello, I have just done a fresh installation of Fedora 34 on a new computer and used the automatic disk partitioning proposed by the installer. Now my disk has the following layout: - /boot (ext4) - /boot/efi (EFI system partition) - / (btrfs), with two subvolumes: @root and @home. In case of a new fresh installation of Fedora, I would like to preserve the @home subvolume only and instead overwrite the rest. However, I am not sure what I should do (note, I don't want to use dnf upgrade). Just as an experiment, I tried to simulate a fresh (re)installation of Fedora 34 and I selected "Custom" as the disk partitioning method. The installer showed the above disk layout. So, my idea was to use the same approach I used in the past (with ext4 partitions). Specifically: * For the "/boot" and "/boot/efi" partitions, I specified "/boot" and "/boot/efi" as mount points, respectively, and flagged the "Reformat" checkbox. * For the "/home" subvolume, I specified "/home" as the mount point, without flagging the "Reformat" checkbox. * For "/", I cannot tell the installer to reformat it. I am not sure what to do. I would create a new btrfs filesystem with "/" as the mount point, but I am not sure it is correct. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Marco

perf / DWARF bug - is this something to do with the new DWARF format?
by Richard W.M. Jones 24 May '21

24 May '21

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1963865 I can't get stack traces using --call-graph=dwarf information working in Rawhide at the moment. It seems as if perf doesn't understand the new debuginfo information. I find this whole area to be incredibly confusing and opaque. For example, how do I find out what dwarf version was used to generate the debuginfo and what version perf understands? But my main question is: Is there some simple change to perf that is needed to fix this? Or is it user error?
