OT : systemd-udev issue in CentOS 8.5 / Rocky Linux 8.5 / RHEL 8.5
by Peter Skensved 16 May '22

16 May '22

Sorry for being a bit off topic here but I'm hoping some of the clever people on this list can help me out with a systemd-udev issue here.I'm hoping this is a solved issue in fedora that maybe hasn't made its way upstream yet. I have a custom usb devive that I want a certain group of users to have full access to when it is plugged in . For CentOS 6 & 7 I just add a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d like SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="2017", GROUP="atmel", MODE="666" and Bob is your uncle. The created usb device ( /dev/bus/usb/.../... gets permissions 666 as user root and group atmel . However, I cannot get this to work the same way with CentOS 8 / Rocky Linux 8 / ( RHEL 8 ) and I cannot figure out why not. The device in /dev/bus/usb is being created but only root can access it as the ownersip is set to root:root and the mode to 664 . The logs report an : unhandled action 'bind' on /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1 ( or similar depending on the port used ) and systemd-udev retuns : invalid SUBSYSTEM operation which doesn't tell me a lot. Removing the MODE and GROUP from the rule makes the error messages go away but ownership and permissions are set to the default root and 664 Trying to replace MODE and GROUP ith a RUN=+some_script also fails ( with or without including the ACTION=="add" keyword. The script never starts as far as I can tell. Anybody knows what is going on here ? Does systemd-udevd not have root permissions ????? I can of course set the mode as user root or use sudo but really ? systemd is version 239 which is probably outdated by fedora standards but it is what comes with RHEL 8.5 clones. peter

There are two iirc, and need to be installed in the correct order and support programs. Available through the support tab on the Brother web-site. The config program has a very comprehensive list of settings which you put into a config file. Use scanimage -L to find the usb parameters and something like #export ads='brother4:bus2:dev1' then scanimage --device-name=$ads scanimage itself has a number of parameters. A couple of years ago I was given a Brother ADS-1500 scanner to scan a large number of documents. Installed the drivers, and ended up scanning just over 2100 pages in one day. The ADS1500 is a small thing, powered from a power wart and uses USB, but very fast. At one point I did nearly 200 pages in one continuous call, feeding new pages into the back of the feed stack. I used: # double sided scanimage --device-name=$ads --resolution 300 --format=tif --source='Automatic Document Feeder(left aligned,Duplex)' -x 215 -y 280 --batch=$2%d.tif --batch-start=$3 --batch-count=$4 --batch-increment=$5 which numbers the output images by 1, 2 or -2 if working from the back of a book. The x and y parameters are the page size and you can limit the scan viewport to ignore parts of the physical page. Geoff

fedora-release-35 still installed after 35->36 upgrade
by Ian Pilcher 15 May '22

15 May '22

I just noticed that my newly upgraded system is still checking the Fedora 35 repos when I run 'dnf update'. Not confirmed yet, but I suspect it's because I still have fedora-release-35 installed. $ rpm -q fedora-release fedora-release-35-36.noarch fedora-release-36-17.noarch Anyone else seen this? -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ========================================================================

First 5 minutes with f36
by Tom Horsley 14 May '22

14 May '22

Installing in a virtual machine, the spinning worm doesn't spin. The progress bar moves, the install works, but there was apparently no point in the spinner at the left of the progress info. The first thing the intro to gnome 42 tells me is to use the "Super" key. There is no key labelled "Super". Some hint about alternate names might help the newbies the intro is presumably designed to help (experimentation revealed it was the Start key :-). Shutting down the virtual machine hung for about two minutes waiting for packagekit.service to stop.

bluetooth mic input support on f35
by Alex 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi, I'm trying to use my Angteela BH-M9 bluetooth headset on fedora35. I can get the output speakers to work, but the mic does not. Is this supported? I've seen several other references to others having difficulty, but no solutions, or they were for much older versions of fedora. I can connect the the device to bluetooth, but it apparently doesn't detect it as a potential input device. When I click the "sound settings" for the bluetooth device, the "Input" tab just shows "no input sources are currently available." I have no idea how to get started troubleshooting this.

No "User Session" login option on f36
by Tom Horsley 13 May '22

13 May '22

Just submitted this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2085487 I have the xorg-x11-xinit-session package installed. It creates a /usr/share/xsessions/xinit-compat.desktop file, but SDDM doesn't list "User Session" as a login option. Anyone know if the session file format changed and no one updated this user session login?
