Regex version mismatch after dnf update
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Did a dnf update this morning before updating my bios and installing more memory (more on that in a separate missive) I saw some messages during the update process about "Regex version mismatch" but it said it completed successfully. I did my hardware changes, booted back into F35. Went to root to check out the hardware changes are right after using "su -" to get into root I get the following messages. Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 I looked into /var/log/dnf.rpm.log and I see at the tail: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 restorecon: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 restorecon: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 restorecon: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 2022-01-16T10:41:00-0500 INFO Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 2022-01-16T10:41:00-0500 INFO Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 2022-01-16T10:41:04-0500 INFO Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 2022-01-16T10:41:04-0500 INFO Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.39 2021-10-29 actual: 10.37 2021-05-26 What should I do about this? thanks

cobang

Hello, Do you know how to install cobang?

Installing dual-boot
by Patrick O'Callaghan 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

I have a laptop as a secondary machine, using F35. I've reluctantly had to install Windows 10 on another partition, and of course Windows has stamped all over the boot block in its usual arrogant way so I can no longer access my Fedora installation (though it's still there). What's the quickest way to get Grub back, with the Windows boot as an option? Can this be done from within Windows or do I need to boot a rescue drive? Both systems use UEFI. poc

More memory
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

The specs for my Lenovo x140e is 8GB, which I have and it seems to be not enough. $ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7380668 6930852 262676 1492 187140 221144 Swap: 24157176 12044096 12113080 Firefox seems to be a bit part of the problem. I quit it and see: $ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7380668 5146100 1776840 1364 457728 1948864 Swap: 24157176 5270956 18886220 I am running a VM at 2Gb and a couple of Thunderbird sessions. Closing these TB and waiting a while I drop down to $ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7380668 3751784 1148396 16228 2480488 3272716 Swap: 24157176 2422956 21734220 but really the bottom line is I need more memory for the tasks at hand. Firefox has all these weird processes running eating up lots of memory and swapping like crazy. Probably bad for my SSD drive. So how to get to 16GB memory? What follows the x140e in the 12" format? I can't figure this out from basic Lenovo sales stuff. Probably going to have to find a Lenovo forum to get the info. But CompuRAM in UK says they can support up to 32GB on the x140e using "newer SO-DIMM chips". Crucial only sells 4GB for the x140e. Anyone have any knowledge on this? Other than booting and getting into settings, how do I figure out my bios version? And to see if Lenovo has a newer one that probably CompuRAM is counting on? Any US memory sources that will support more memory for the x140e? I really don't want to deal with overseas shipping and support. And back to the "newer" hardware question on 140 followon. thanks for any input. All this swapping is taking time when I really have to wait for the system to bring in what is needed and things to start working.

Script for making a KVM VM from a kickstart
by Chris Adams 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

I have been building up a script to quickly and easily make CentOS/RHEL and Fedora VMs from kickstart files for a long time, and thought I'd see if anyone else was interested. It's especially useful IMHO if you are working on building kickstarts, because you can fairly rapidly iterate and test. I've got it built as an RPM, so if others think this is useful, I might submit it to Fedora and EPEL. Let me know what you think! https://github.com/cmadamsgit/ks-install -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

firefox+discord keep pipewire active until firefox quits
by Eyal Lebedinsky 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Not knowing where the issue lies, here is what I know so far. Starting firefox, opening discord, then closing the tab and clearing all data. I see in 'top' that pipewire processes stay active (this is an i7-9700): PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 100766 eyal 9 -11 317308 41856 6704 S 4.7 0.1 113:55.84 pipewire-pulse 64810 eyal 9 -11 344036 19832 8004 S 2.3 0.1 55:30.94 pipewire The two stay at the same level of %CPU, and they were barely noticeable before visit discord. When I close firefox the activity stops, but not earlier. Disabling all add-ons has no effect. Using sound in other ways (firefox+youtube, vlc, etc.) does not lead to such activity. What is keeping this activity going, and how do I stop it? TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Wayland and Xfce
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

OK, this talk about this thing called Wayland had me doing some research. Like is this something that will be of concern at some point??? Well a bit of an eye-opener. Bye, bye, miss American X11.... (Recently saw some fun utubes on McLean :) ). So where is Xfce, that I have run now for a lot of years (maybe around 10?)? I found one discussion back in Mar '21 about plans for Xfce 4.18 and supporting Wayland. F35 uses 4.16. Does anyone know current efforts on Wayland (that seems to be where Linux desktops have to go or die) for Xfce? One cute comment I saw that Xfce will have to be called 'E', as it is no longer 'fc' and once it jettisons X, well... Thanks

/var/tmp/dracut
by Frank Elsner 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Hi Experts, how much space should you reserve for /var/tmp/dracut when upgrading Fedora? Background: My upgrade from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 failed due to insufficent space on /var in the way that reboot failed due to missing initramfs-*. I could recover but at first I was shocked. Stay healthy, Frank Elsner
