Radeon 7750 as a successor to R7 240/340
by Sam Varshavchik 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

I had to put aside sourcing a build for a new server, last year. I just picked this up again. I originally sized up a system with a Radeon R7 240/340 chipset, but it's not widely available any more. I see just one hit on Amazon, but it's not listed on pcpartpicker, which I use to check for compatibility. Does anyone have any experience with a video card based on a Radeon HD 7750 chipset under X? It's a shame about the R7 chipset, that chipset had VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports, while the 7750 has two HDMI ports. I'll just have to get a dongle for my VGA and DVI monitors, no big deal.

Hi, I guess this might affect quite a few people so I hope I can save you a few minutes to find the workaround: Firefox 96.0 hangs after a while - loses connectivity https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2040189 upstream bug: Infinite loop in HTTP3 hangs socket thread https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749908 Workarounds (from the upstream bug): > If anyone need to fix it, please open "about:config" in a new tab. > Search : "network.http.http3.enabled" > change to false, then restart firefox. > Other workaround: Go to preferences -> Firefox Data Collection and uncheck everything. Then restart Firefox Felix

Where is PATH stored these days ? Why isn't .bash_profile executed in F35 ?
by linux guy 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

I'm trying to add a few directories to PATH in F35. I'm embarrassed to admit it isn't going well. Where is PATH stored in F35 ? When exactly does .bash_profile get executed ? How does one get the bash environment reloaded without logging out and logging in ? $source <something> ? $exec bash ? ./bash ? What gets executed upon logging out and logging back in, versus opening a new terminal (with Konsole) ? $env should include everything in .bash_profile, right ? Why doesn't F35 have ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc and instead has ~/.bash_profile ? Does .bash_profile replace .bashrc and .profile ? Would bash read .profile if I created one ? If so, when ? What happened to .inputrc ? Thanks

Redshift and geoclue problems
by ToddAndMargo 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hi All, Fedora 35 redshift-1.12-13.fc35.x86_64 geoclue2-2.5.7-6.fc35.x86_64 If I manually start geoclue # systemctl start geoclue.service as root, redshift can communicate with geoclue2 and redshift works fine. But redshift can not start geoclue, unless geoclue was started as root first: $ redshift Waiting for initial location to become available... Unable to start GeoClue client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: disallowed, no agent for UID 500. Access to the current location was denied by GeoClue! Make sure that location services are enabled and that Redshift is permitted to use location services. See https://github.com/jonls/redshift#faq for more information. Unable to get location from provider. can not start geoclue as a standard user (group = 500 or users). I have redshift in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf: [redshift] allowed=true system=false users= Redshift is "suppose" to be able to start geoclue manually as a user. What gives?

Messages following a crash: [Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal

I just had the system lock-up hard, requiring hitting the reset button. I now see in the system log: Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: BERT: Error records from previous boot: Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: fatal Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: section_type: Firmware Error Record Reference Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: Firmware Error Record Type: SOC Firmware Error Record Type1 (Legacy CrashLog Support) Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: Revision: 0 Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: Record Identifier: 100300100000000 Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: 00000000: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ... continue until Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: 00000c00: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ................ I understand that this is related to the preceding crash. If so, what does it tell me? Doing a search suggests that if this happens rarely then it can be ignored- true?.\ I now see that I had it also last Oct but not earlier. This hard lock-up happens at times (more than twice for sure) and if I can do something about it then I would. TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Easy way to keep my F35 laptop and desktop computers perfectly sync'd. Rsync ?
by linux guy 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Hi people. These days I find myself constantly going back and forth between working on my laptop and working on my desktop computer. It is very tiring setting up the same applications twice, moving files back and forth etc. I would like to find a way to keep my laptop and desktop computers perfectly sync'd. Same applications installed, same setup, same files, everything. They are both running F35. Ideally I'd have a script that I would execute from either machine that would bring it up to date with the other machine. So I'd log into a machine, run the script and instantly be at the same place I was with the other machine. Like I was working on the new machine all along. Thoughts on how to do this ? Thanks

Re: support term for Fedora 34

Three approaches: Upgrade 1 release close to the EOL of current release. This way you are moving to a mature release. Upgrade 2 releases typically at EOL of current release. This lessens the number of upgrades, but means moving to a immature release. Upgrade 2 releases some 3 months past EOL of current release. This lessens the number of upgrades, and you move to a somewhat mature release. But means operating without any updates (especially security related) for this period of time. Choose your poison. I normally go with choice 2 but often delay and end up with choice 3.

how do I an application to show up on gnome's menu?
by Michael Hennebry 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

What is the magic spell to get an application to show up on gnome's menu? I've gone by an example on the internet and came up with this: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Tomato Comment=Tomato Icon=org.gnome.Terminal Exec=/home/hennebry/bin/tomato.sh # Terminal=true Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;TerminalEmulator; I tried it as ~/.local/share/applications/wtf.desktop . It doesn't work as /usr/share/applications/wtf.desktop either. I do not mean that it craps out. It just does not show. Not if I restart gnome. Not even if I reboot. It seems to me that I should be able to find it next to Terminal. I can find Terminal under applications/utiities. Tomato is not there. [root@localhost ~]# journalctl -r | grep wtf [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep wtf [root@localhost ~]# How do I make it work? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Fedora's memtest option doesn't work, but found something that seems to??
by Michael D. Setzer II 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

I've noticed for a while running memtest from grub2 menu just gives a blue screen and locks machine. Had a similar issue running it from grub4dos, but found running syslinux memdisk and then running program worked, but exact same thing didn't work with grub2?? So, just tried using the iso versus the memtest.img extracted from it, and that comes up. Manually modifed the grub.cfg by coping section that Fedora creates and making changes?? Have seen messages saying it was broken, but never found any fixes. So, not sure some can tell why? or if this would be useful to others to try?? ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry 'Fedora Memtest memtest86+-5.31' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos5' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 --hint='hd0,msdos5' fa908208-22bd-4031-b620-841498e0708c else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root fa908208-22bd-4031-b620-841498e0708c fi insmod bsd echo 'Loading Fedora Memtest memtest86+-5.31 ...' knetbsd /elf-memtest86+-5.31 } menuentry 'Memtest' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos5' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 --hint='hd0,msdos5' fa908208-22bd-4031-b620-841498e0708c else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root fa908208-22bd-4031-b620-841498e0708c fi echo 'Loading memdisk' linux16 /memdisk iso echo 'Loading iso' initrd16 /memtest86+-5.31b.iso } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
