fedora34 and php version
by Alex 24 May '22

24 May '22

Hi, I've just upgraded from fedora33 to fedora34. I understand both are EOL already. I need at least php version 7.4.26, but it appears fedora34 only provides 7.4.16. The problem is that fedora35 includes php8, and I have several applications that don't yet fully support php8. What are my options? Is it possible to install a later version of php on fedora34 without having to try and get php7 to work on fedora35? I'm really reluctant to upgrade then try and run two versions of php on fedora35.

Trying to kickstart a KVM guest on F36
by Thomas Cameron 23 May '22

23 May '22

I'm trying to kickstart a KVM guest. Historically, I could just start the guest connected to my bridged network interface, and my PXE server would hand out a DHCP address and then the tftp server would hand over the initrd.img and vmlinuz files. After upgrading from F35 to F36, I am not seeing any traffic from the guest at the PXE server. Has something changed between F35 and F36? This used to work without any hassle. I choose to create a new guest. I choose "Manual Install." I choose Fedora 35 as the OS. I set the memory and vCPUs. I choose my disk size. I choose to connect to the bridged network (device name is bridge0, which matches the bridge name on my workstation). I choose "Customize configuration before install" and then Finish. At the customization screen, I go to "Boot options" and check the box next to the NIC. I choose Apply. I choose "Begin installation." The screen comes up, and I see the guest trying to PXE boot, but I never see any DHCP or tftp requests on the PXE server. I know the PXE server works, because I can kickstart guests on a virtualization hypervisor off the PXE server no problem. To set up my workstation, I connected to Cockpit and drilled down to Networking. I chose to create a new bridged device and associated it with my physical NIC. I've done this in previous versions of Fedora and not had any problems with it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! Thomas

Weird issue: Screen savers HAMMERING the CPU
by Thomas Cameron 23 May '22

23 May '22

I've upgraded my distro from F33 to F34, F35, and now F36. Zero issues all the way through except for one weird one. I run Xfce, and I installed the xscreensaver* packages. I've always done this, and I uninstalled the xfce4-screensaver package. I like the plain old xscreensaver packages. It's not been a problem before (that I recall), but now all of sudden several screen savers just hammer the CPU. To the point where I can't even get the popup screen to enter my password to appear. Or after it appears, it takes MANY seconds for the password to be checked, and it seems like it's dropping characters because I am reasonably certain I typed it correctly, but it hangs and I have to wait til the login screen pops up again. Anyone else seeing this? Is the only option to go through and test each one to see if they cause problems, and disable them? Thanks! Thomas

Re: F37 Proposal: Strong crypto settings: phase 3, forewarning 1/2 (System-Wide Change proposal)

Just FYI, I managed to bang out a proof of concept of a "wrapper" that runs a program with a different crypto policy. I've successfully used it to connect to a TLSv1-only HTTP server with both Firefox and curl on a Fedora 36 system running the DEFAULT crypto policy. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2064740#c8 -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ========================================================================

[Fedora 37] Call for Test Days
by Sumantro Mukherjee 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 37. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days . There are many slots open right now. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final Freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days: GNOME Test Day* i18n Test Day* Kernel Test Week(s)* Upgrade Test Day* IoT Test Week* Cloud Test Day* Fedora CoreOS Test Week* And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your own Test Day! [*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release cycle. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED

Connecting to printer on Windows 10 System
by Robert McBroom 23 May '22

23 May '22

I have a HP Envy 5530 printer on usb connection to a Windows 10 system. KDE printer settings seems to find it with a smb URI. smb:///%2F192.168.1.100%2FHPENVY5530 Keeps asking for a user and password but doesn't accept local users or users on the remote machine. An attempt to print a test page fails with a CIFS unable to connect error NT_STATUS_NOT_FOUND. The setting window is not responsive to any mouse clicks. Other windows systems print with no problems What am I missing on getting access?

Problems with Borg backup on F36
by Patrick O'Callaghan 22 May '22

22 May '22

I updated to F36 a few days ago and everything seemed to go smoothly until I noticed my regular nightly backups were failing. I use Borgbackup and the configuration has been stable for a long time with no problems. The actual backup does seem to succeed, but Borg runs a post-backup repository check that is now failing, even for backups taken before the system upgrade. I've reported this: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?zx=60aw7rldu1gf&pli=1#inbox poc
