dnf system-upgrade dependency resolution failure
by Sam Varshavchik 04 May '21

04 May '21

I'm trying to update a system that has some locally-built packages. They get installed from a local repository. I rebuilt all the packages in mock for F34. Problem 1: problem with installed package libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc33.20210503063931.x86_64 - libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc33.20210503063931.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - nothing provides selinux-policy >= 34.3-1.fc34 needed by libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc34.x86_64 dnf sees the .fc34 package, but then claims no knowledge of "selinux-policy >= 34.3-1.fc34". I see selinux-policy-34.3-1.fc34.noarch.rpm in updates, and with specifying --allowerasing results in my local packages getting uninstalled, and the selinux-policy updated normally. This one has me stumped.

Dear All, I have just upgraded from F33 to F34, and everything seems to be working fine except when booting: a message appears saying: Failed to load kernel modules. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

Running Fedora in Memory

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
