Running Fedora in Memory
by Earl Ramirez 03 May '21

03 May '21

Dear All, Has anyone used Fedora in memory? I saw that there are couple OSes that are capable of doing this and wonder if this is possible to achieve this with Fedora. Thanks -- Kind Regards, Earl A. Ramirez 2021-05-03T21:14:59 (CEST +0200)

F34 - what happened to Switch User?
by Temlakos 03 May '21

03 May '21

Everyone: Last week I did my usual command-line upgrade, from F33 to F34. Most things still work, and some (like the KDE clipboard) work better. But of course the Applications menu changed radically. It took time for me to find the new places for things, and one thing I never found: Switch User. I now find it impossible to start a new session with another registered user. Now the only way to use a secondary user account is to log out, then log in as the secondary. And do the same in reverse when I'm done. The biggest reason I abandoned GNOME, years ago, was that GNOME did not provide, in its Graphical User Interface, a convenient way to switch users, and have two users logged on at once. KDE did. Until now. It used to be on a menu called "Leave." Along with options labeled "Log off", "Sleep," "Hibernate," "Restart," and "Shut Down." Today all those options, other than "Switch User," appear at the bottom of the applications menu screen. Which is mighty convenient for those other options, but not for Switch User, which is gone. What am I missing? If Switch User is still there, where did it go? Temlakos

Have virtual consoles been moved?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 03 May '21

03 May '21

IIRC in every previous Fedora release console 1 (i.e. what you get if hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1) has been the default, and F2 etc. got you additional text consoles as required. Now I find that the default is F2 and F1 is a blank screen. This is on KDE/Plasma. Has there been a policy change or is something wrong? poc

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

After latest dnfupate Firefox taking about 2:43 to load??
by Michael D. Setzer II 03 May '21

03 May '21

Running firefox with strace shows it hitting these two poll lines, where it just sits doing nothing for a long time? Actually, pauses after displaying up to the NULL,8 then it goes on until it hits the second one. First on has always been fd=10, but have seen fd=14 or fd=13 for second?? ppoll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=119, tv_nsec=999420000}, NULL, 8) = 1 ([{fd=10, revents=POLLIN}], left {tv_sec=46, tv_nsec=773625894}) ppoll([{fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=119, tv_nsec=999274000}, NULL, 8) = 1 ([{fd=14, revents=POLLIN}], left {tv_sec=113, tv_nsec=850834948}) $ time firefox real 2m43.247s user 0m3.097s sys 0m0.795s As soon as I shows the firefox windows clicked on X to close to get approximate time. Firefox had been updated earlier, and didn't seem to do this, but just updated to the latest kernel 5.11.17-200.fc33.x86_64 and rebooted, and the noticed it? looked at lines before this after directing strace to a file, but didn't see anything obvious? Thanks.

system-upgrade in plymouth vs console, and logging
by Sam Varshavchik 02 May '21

02 May '21

I updated a laptop to F34. The laptop uses the spinfinity plymouth theme. system-upgrade ran while the theme was chugging along, showing brief status messages in a top level corner, i.e. "Updating <package name>". This is my regular upgrade experience; and nothin unusual about that. I just started the upgrade on another laptop, but after plymouth came up, it bumped down to the system console to run the upgrade. It's running now just fine, on the system console. I don't recall if this laptop always did that, some of my other servers don't use plymouth and run through upgraded on the console. But these two laptops are both set up to use the spinfinity theme, and it's just my idle curiosity as to why one of them is running the upgrade on the console. They do use different video hardware, but it just looks nicer in plymouth, and why would video hardware matter, for something like that? On a related note, after the first upgrade I needed to figure out why it installed a bunch of java bloat, for some reason. I didn't find the usual /root/upgrade.log, and some poking around found "dnf system-upgrade log", as its replacement. I was surprised to see that "dnf system-upgrade log" offered me logs going all the way back to the F30-F31 upgrade in 2019. They certainly don't take up much space, but I'm just wondering if they ever get cleaned up. I don't see a dnf option to do that.

Questions on DNF's UUID
by ml-devel＠keemail.me 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hello everyone. I recently got to know that Fedora's DNF creates an UUID to help keep track of the number of unique Fedora users. As per my understanding, before implementing this UUID mechanism, they obtained their user-base estimate through the use of IP addresses. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify these concerns of mine: - Is the generated UUID based on the hardware configuration of the Fedora user, or is it a random UUID? (If the user re-installs Fedora, will the re-generated UUID be alike to the first one, in any way?) - Will the user's UUID be sent to package mirrors each time they perform an update/installation of packages? (If so, would this mean that a malicious mirror could potentially map a user's UUID with all the associated package-requests?) - Is there any way to opt out of providing data for this user-base statistical analysis? Could someone also point to the file in the source-code (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf) where this UUID-feature has been implemented?
