F36: removing systemd-resolved breaks chrony
by Sam Varshavchik 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

It seems that uninstalling systemd-resolved and repointing /etc/resolv.conf ends up breaking chrony: type=AVC msg=audit(1653741361.179:318): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=856 comm="chronyd" path="/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf" dev="tmpfs" ino=1525 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 This is spamming me every minute, now.

System is locking up a lot
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Since updates Saturday night I have been having hard lock ups. It looks like Firefox is the trigger. Lenovo X140e notebook F35 current with all updates as of Saturday night. Xfce desktop It was really bad at first. I finally managed to kill Firefox auto load pages by in a non-graphics session, watching what top was reporting going on in the graphics session and killing Firefox. Then starting Firefox and closing all my windows as they open. Finally got it to start up with nothing to open. That was this morning. Things seemed to be working OK until now when I got to my Hilton hotel for the night and going through their miserable portal that FIrefox would not accept their cert, and then it locked again. Just booted. Updated again and only got added: Upgraded: alsa-sof-firmware-2.1.1-1.fc35.noarch mariadb-connector-c-3.2.7-1.fc35.x86_64 mariadb-connector-c-config-3.2.7-1.fc35.noarch pipewire-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-alsa-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-libs-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-utils-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 Skipped: python3-reportlab-3.6.10-1.fc35.x86_64 I can't tell where, in /var/log/messages the system locked and then I rebooted. I did not note the times closely. Anyone hear anything like this? So far can't find anything in bugs.

Fedora 36 XFCE
by c. marlow 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi, Fresh install of Fedora 36 XFCE SPIN. I can walk away from my computer and come back after the screen blanks off and move my mouse and the lock screen will say: "YOUR CAPSLOCK IS ON" on the screen locker..... But I never use the CL ( Caps Lock) What could be randomly activating the caps lock when I move the mouse? Is it Fedora doing it? The computer does not power down and go into standby. The tower is always running. Dell Optiplex980. Logitech wireless keyboard K520 Thanks, Chris

Dual booting
by Michael Hennebry 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

I recently acquired a Refurbished: Grade A Dell OptiPlex GX980 Tower PC, Intel Core I3-550 3.2Ghz, 8G DDR3, 1T HDD, DVD, VGA, WiFi, Bluetooth ... I can boot it from a live Centos 7 disk. According to W10, the HDD is partitioned as follows: System: 350 MB C: 930.44 GB recovery: 750 MB I think that I would want to dual-boot it (Windows/Fedora) in case I ever need Windows for something. I have set up dual booting before, but it has been a long time. Ideally it would be a triple boot: one for Windows, one that I just installed and one that I've been using lately. Mostly what I remember about the process is that getting the information from various distant places in the galaxy was a bit of a chore. Can someone point me in the right direction? -- 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

by ToddAndMargo 06 Jul '22

Hi All, Any of you guys know of a PCIe card that will do hardware RAID 1 with two NVMe drives? I have found some, but they are way to elaborate, and as such, way too expensive. Many thanks, -T

Cleaning /var/lib/dnf/yumdb
by Michael D. Setzer II 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Are files in /var/lib/dnf/yumdb of any use?? Dates of files and directories seem to all be June 20 2019 and seem to be for Fedora 29 and earlier. Machine is currently running Fedora 35?? Is there a command to clean them correctly. Are the just leftovers from pervious versions. dnf autoremove didn't do anything. du . shows total size as 42620 . Was doing a search from files from / and saw a number of old files in results. Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

CPU Access in the Kernel
by Stephen Morris 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi, Just a quick question. To determine how many cpu's/cores/channels the kernel is configured to support, do I need to look at the kernel source to determine if all of the cores I have are capable of being used, or is there something else available to tell me without going to the source? regards, Steve

Secondary groups missing?
by Alex 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi, I've added my user to multiple groups in /etc/group, but running "id" only shows the primary group. $ id uid=1003(alex) gid=1003(alex) groups=1003(alex) This user belongs to a number of other groups. $ grep ^alex /etc/group alex:x:1003:group1,group2 I remember many years ago having to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow the user to join multiple groups, but I don't recall what those changes are, or if that's even the proper way anymore. Ideas? Of course I've logged out and logged in again
