Windows 11 VMs and TPM - an interesting side effect
by Tom Horsley 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Out of curiosity, I thought I'd see if a physical TPM module is available for my motherboard. Looking in the manual I see there is a header for one, and gigabyte has a specific model number for the one that is compatible. None are in stock anywhere save a couple of entries on ebay where the normally $15 module is now listed at $170 :-). A KVM emulated one is clearly the way to go.

Hi Fedora , Thanks to George N. Withe 111 , Bob Marcom, Erik P. Olsen and Klaus Peter Schrage. I did install rpmshere-release with dnf : Runs fine. I did install clonezilla-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm with dnf and got following message :Nothing provides drbl-partimage >=0.6.7 needed by clonezilla -2.3.1-1 noarch. Nothing provides mkswap-uuid needed by clonezilla-2.3.1-1.noarch. So , What now ? Kind regards, Ger van Dijck.

MP3 player mounts on /run - why?
by Geoffrey Leach 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

The Thunar file manager mounts a MP3 player on /run/media/<user><UUID>. Can anyone give me a clue as to why the choice? The UUID is X52, which I assume is OK, although I've never seen one so short.

Questions on creating RPM Package??
by Michael D. Setzer II 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Saw all the messages on Clonezilla, and brought up a question I'd ask a long time ago, and a new one. Had asked about process to do an rpm package, and had gotten a suggestion to going a list on it, but turned out the list was dead, and had had no post for years, so that was a dead end. Have been the maintainer of the G4L disk imaging program since 2004, and build it with Fedora as the build system. Have been able to run it from the CD, USB or even from grub2 menu by manually adding it. Doesn't have all the bells or options that Clonezilla has, but does things. The grub option to add just required putting a kernel file and ramdisk.lzma file into boot directory and then using a 40_custom file. # !/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry G4L { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes initrd /ramdisk.lzma } menuentry G4L_NOSMP { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes nosmp initrd /ramdisk.lzma } menuentry G4L_FailSafe { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 noapic noacpi pnpbios=off acpi=off pci=noacpi nosmp initrd /ramdisk.lzma } That would then add options to the grub boot menu similar to how memtest worked to add option. It would load kernel image, and then g4l in ram to run. Looked at memtest, but note that they don't have an option with the EFI version, which was my new question with shift to more systems using that? Issues with creating signed kernels? Wondering if there might be information or someone might know of a list or page? Thanks.

Live on USB with another data partition
by Petr Menšík 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hi! I am trying to make my 64GB flash drive bootable to Fedora. It is quite easy to write iso image using dd to flash drive. However, I would like to use the unused flash drive space for normal files on VFAT partition. I would like to keep booting both over legacy MBR and UEFI on the same time. I think just adding a new partition after writing ISO image would be enough. I know livecd-iso-to-disk exists, but it forces me to choose between legacy or EFI bootable image. It does not allow both on the same drive. However partition table on Live image is created strange way. gdisk refuses to edit first partition at all. Legacy msdos partition table starts at block 0, which is unusual. Is it required for something? Is there tool able to edit GPT table of live image? $ sfdisk -l Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso Disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso: 1.87 GiB, 2007367680 bytes, 3920640 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x6b5ab614 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso1 * 0 3920639 3920640 1.9G 0 Empty Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso2 172 20543 20372 9.9M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso3 20544 63391 42848 20.9M 0 Empty $ gdisk -l Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.7 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use? 1 - MBR 2 - GPT 3 - Create blank GPT Your answer: 2 Using GPT and creating fresh protective MBR. Warning! Main partition table overlaps the first partition by 64 blocks!

Instead it complains I need to use another utility. I haven't found utility able to do it. Can you recommend something? I consider myself power user, even non-trivial way would be acceptable. Note the warning, complaining partition starts at block 0, not block 64. Unfortunately gdisk does not let me create new partition 1 starting on block 64. Are there other tools for writing live images to flash drive, which can prepare both EFI and legacy boot image, but create editable partition table instead?
