boot fedora 37 iso image file from grub2?
by Tom Horsley
For Fedora 36 this magical nonsense works to boot the iso image
file stashed on a usb stick:
set data_usb_uuid="7ad8f114-5b24-47bb-86c6-0b229519d76c"
function set_data_usb_root {
insmod ext2
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
load_env bootvid
set root='hd0,msdos2'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ${data_usb_uuid}
}
menuentry 'Fedora Workstation Live 64-bit 36 (1.5)' {
set_data_usb_root
set isofile="/images/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso"
loopback loop "$isofile"
linux (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz ${bootvid} root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-36-1-5 iso-scan/filename="$isofile" rd.live.image
initrd (loop)/isolinux/initrd.img
}
If I try the same thing with the Fedora 37 iso image file (looking up
the CDLABEL to use via the isoinfo tool), it doesn't work. I guess
the entire internal structure of the iso image is now different?
(Something to do with getting rid of syslinux maybe?)
Anyone know the proper incantation to boot the iso image directly
via grub2?

virt-p2v
by Ranbir
Has anyone used virt-p2v lately? I just tried to use it on my Fedora 36
desktop (for the first time) to build a boot disk and it bombed out:
virt-builder: error: failed to download
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/virt-builder-im...
:
HTTP status code 404
If reporting bugs, run virt-builder with debugging enabled and include
the
complete output:
virt-builder -v -x [...]
I ran virt-builder directly to list the supported O/Ses and added the
above debug flags:

Is there a workaround?

Sendmail auth mechanisms missing after upgrade to Fedora 37
by Scott van Looy
Hi,
Having upgraded to the new Fedora 37, I cannot now send mail via sendmail
remotely using auth.
Looking at /var/log/maillog, when I try and connect to send an email I
get:
"AUTH warning: no mechanisms”
Looking at the application log I can see:
250-<serverdomain> Hello <localdomain>, pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE
250-DSN
250-DELIVERBY
250 HELP
So it does indeed look like there are no auth mechanisms present
I haven’t changed my config, it was working before the upgrade and the
only thing I’ve been able to find online that vaguely looks like it might
be the same issue is this:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263287
sendmail.mc has:
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y’)dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN’)dnl
Which all looks correct to me. I’m at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to what might be the issue/what I might be able to do?
Regards,
Scott

unwanted notifications
by Michael Hennebry
During a job search, I seem to have clicked on the wrong button.
Now I have rather frequent popup notifacations.
I'd like to get rid of them.
I'm aware that I could block all notification with a setting.
The innocent along with the guilty.
Also, I expect that there is probably an opt-out thing somewhere.
I'd rather not hunt for it and I'd rather not
depend on the good will of the infiltrator.
How do I selectively get rid of these notifications?
I've got Gnome on F35.

Nautilus search not working in F37
by Marco Sgobino
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a bug with nautilus file manager in Fedora Workstation
37. In particular, the moment I type something in the search it
suddenly hangs and never responds anymore. In order to use it again, I
have to kill nautilus from the shell. It doesn't seem to be related on
where I perform the search, nor on what I search.
Launching nautilus from shell and running a search yields message
** Message: 08:15:39.744: Connecting to
org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
and then hangs forever. This prevents me to run any search on nautilus.
The bug is not always reproducible, as sometimes when I boot my machine
the search works as expected.
If this is a bug and not a mistake in configuration, can anyone help me
file a bug report?
Do you need more informations regarding my system?
Which commands would you like me to run?
