[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

This list's search engine not working?
by HaJo Schatz 22 May '24

22 May '24

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0 results. Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by author, I do find my posts. OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the same issue when searching for given topics. Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably?

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

Fedora USB live: not lively.
by home user 03 Jun '23

03 Jun '23

While preparing to upgrade to Fedora-37 (planned for mid-April), I noticed that my emergency tools are seriously out of date. Those are memtest, Fedora live, and rescue. memtest was dealt with in a thread earlier this month. Now I'm trying to update my Fedora live USB stick to Fedora-36. I used Fedora Media Writer to do that. I saw no hint of trouble while using that. But when I try to boot up from the stick (USB-3, if that matters), I get varying bad results. Two tries failed to complete the boot. One try appeared to succeed, but I couldn't launch any applications. The applications I tried were Firefox, a terminal, and I don't recall the other. The last application launch attempt locked up the workstation. This workstation is 10 years old. It uses bios. I've attached a PNG screen capture of what Files says is on the stick at the top level. I do not have a cell phone or camera to capture the boot screen when the boot fails. Main question: How do I make a Fedora-36 USB live stick that really works? Secondary question: I can't find a tool on my workstation to check the stick. Disks, GSmartControl, and Disk Usage Analyzer don't do that, How can I check the stick itself? I actually tried 2 sticks for the Fedora Media Writer. They both failed when trying to boot.

Request for recommendations on installing Viber and Signal
by Max Pyziur 07 May '23

07 May '23

Per the subject line any recommendations on F38 would be helpful. I had both installed on my Dell XPS 13 L322 laptop, but bc the upgrade failed I've had to do a fresh install and restore my data. Viber does provide an rpm: rpm can be found here https://www.viber.com/en/download/ (look under the Windows & others section for the Fedora version) Instructions here: https://help.viber.com/en/article/set-up-viber-on-your-desktop However, it fails on my laptop with no clear guidance on why or what dependencies are missing. Also, there is no repo; when I first installed viber, the version was Viber-13.x installed originally in 2020(?). The current version is 18.x. Thank you, Max pyz(a)brama.com

F38: GNOME on XORG: Some apps have Windows titlebar with Minimize/Maximize Buttons
by Dario Lesca 03 May '23

03 May '23

I use "GNOME on Xorgs", after upgrade to F38 some apps, like Firefox or Libreoffice, are show with Minimize/Maximize Buttons on windows titlebar. Also F38 Workstation live version, if you set password to liveuser and logon with "GNOME on Xorgs" (and not with default GNOME on Wayland), show same apps with Minimize/Maximize Buttons on windows titlebar Other apps, like gnome-terminal or nautilus, are displayed correctly, without Minimize and Maximize Buttons on windows titlebar I use the Middle-Click mouse button set to "lower" via gnome-tweaks, and this behaviour DO NOT WORK on windows with Minimize/Maximize Buttons on windows titlebar. It's possible to disable Minimize/Maximize Buttons on windows titlebar for all windows, even if I use "GNOME on Xorgs"? Or it's a bug? Many thanks for your help -- Dario Lesca (Inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 38 Workstation)

Broken browser? Or broken website...
by Dave Close 01 May '23

01 May '23

Accessing a page on <https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/>, I am presented with a banner reading, "Unfortunately, your browser is unsupported. Please switch to a supported browser to view rich content, log in and reply." I am unable to scroll beyond the portion of the page immediately visible. But, of course, I didn't ask for any support. I recognize that my browsers of choice may not properly render some web sites that choose to use some newer facilities. ("rich content", indeed! I'd be very happy without "rich" content.) If I'm stuck, I can use a different browser; I know how to do that. I wouldn't object to a banner warning me that some parts of the site might not render properly on my browser. But fedoraproject.org takes things further by refusing to allow the entire page to load. I resent their patronizing and holier-than-thou attitude. Unfortunately, fedoraproject.org is not the only place I've encountered this abomination.

htpasswd weirdness
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

My small web server is now mostly working, but I'm having a very strange problem. I can *usually* add user accounts from the Shell using htpasswd, and they can log in successfully. Except when I can't. In *some" cases, usernames are added to the password file, and the password verifies correctly (using 'htppasswd -v ...'), but Apache still throws an error, e.g.: [Sat Apr 29 17:12:10.790251 2023] [authz_core:error] [pid 17622:tid 17769] [client 82.69.61.82:40716] AH01631: user notatest: authorization failure for "/": (NB: "authorization failure", not "authentication failure" as with a password mismatch.) Since these are all fictitious users (i.e. not local UIDs) I don't understand what's going on. Either it should always work or always fail. Suggestions welcome. poc

F38/Xfce can't rename printer
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

HP Tools did not recognize my printer that I installed via Print Settings. So I let HP Tools do its thing to install the printer again. I then deleted the old printer. Now I want to rename what HP Tools installed "Office_Pro_8600" to just HP8600. When, in Print Settings, I select Printer -> Rename, I get a dialog that "Renaming will loose History". I click OK and nothing happens. No dialog to rename the printer. How do I rename this printer queue? thanks

F38 with Xfce - alt-F4 switches terminal not close window
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

I just did an upgrade from F37 to F38. I really did not use this system on F37, still for the most part using my F35 system (mostly migrated now), but... <alt-F4> was for closing a window, and <shift-alt-F4> for switching terminal sessions with session F1 being the graphic one. Now both switch terminal sessions. It seems that whatever <alt-F?> should have done still took place as well as the session switch. thanks

saving backward compatibility :-)
by Tom Horsley 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

I'd wager there are shell scripts using fgrep that were written on the first pdp-11 unix and are still in use today, but appeasing someone's OCD is more important than backward compatibility for tens of thousands of systems all over the world. OK fine, I know I'll lose any argument here, so I've used my "big hammer" to write some new scripts to fix the issues I've found so far: https://tomhorsley.com/game/Mjolnir.html Whenever a dnf update brings back the stderr message for egrep and fgrep, I've got a script that copies the egrep and fgrep from fedora 37 that I saved off back over the top of the egrep and fgrep scripts in /usr/bin :-). No more annoying stderr spew. Also the -p and -i options of uname were broken, so another script I have notices if uname stops working again and moves the new /usr/bin/uname to /usr/bin/uname.real and copies in a unmae script that swaps a -i or -p option to be -m instead then invokes uname.real At least my sanity is saved :-).

Post F38 upgrade/install printing in mirror image from HP P3015
by Max Pyziur 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

Greetings, I'm stumbling through both an F38 upgrade and a new installation (the latter due to an F38 major upgrade problem). Thankfully, data has been saved and recovered. But problems arise (sort of like knowing how to drive a 2000 model year vehicle and then being confronted with a 2020 model year one). Two problems: 1) On both machines, printing to my HP P3015 produces a mirror image when printing from a browser. 2) When using paps to print text files, the result is raw postscript, meaning multiple pages when one was expected. Advice? Max

systemd-oomd insanely aggressive with non-DE logins
by Andre Robatino 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

I have 3 machines with clean F37 installs. One of the F37 machines has 4GB of RAM, and I maintain it as a backup and normally only log in via ssh and do dnf updates via command line. In the last few weeks this has become extremely difficult to do due to being automatically logged out, presumably by systemd-oomd. It happens even if I boot in multiuser, which ought to reduce memory use. From what little I've read and what experimentation I've done so far, it appears that being logged into a DE (maybe only GNOME or KDE?) protects against this, but non-DE logins (including ssh), and any commands running in them, are not protected. This goes against the expectation that non-DE access should be LESS likely to run out of memory, especially if there isn't even a DE running. How hard would it be for systemd-oomd to be configured to protect non-DE logins and anything running in them? I've also read that configuring non-zram swap might be a cure. As I said, these are clean F37 installs, and if that's necessary for reasonable behavior when there's not enough RAM, the installer should be doing it automatically. In my case, I don't think that's the cause, since the free command suggests that I'm only using a fraction of both the memory and swap even when the automatic logging out is happening.

How to restart sudo rpmconf -a

Hi Everyone, I dnf-system-upgraded my last machine from F37 to F38. I screwed up at post-upgrade at 'sudo rpmconf -a'.

And I pressed ENTER a bunch of times trying to keep the machine awake. Unfortunately, it means I kept old versions of configuration files: ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version (and delete .rpmsave) D : show the differences between the versions M : merge configuration files Z : background this process to examine the situation S : skip this file The default action is to keep your current version. *** aliases (Y/I/N/O/D/M/Z/S) [default=N] ? <Me press ENTER multiple times to avoid suspend/sleep> Google is failing me.

Updating grub after dnf-system-upgrade
by Jeffrey Walton 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Hi Everyone, I just dnf-upgraded my last system from F37 to F38. One of the post-upgrade task is "Update GRUB bootloader on BIOS systems" (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/) Systems with the BIOS firmware have the GRUB RPM packages updated. However, the installed or embedded bootloader is never updated automatically. It is a good idea to update it between Fedora release versions. I have a system that is is using BIOS, and it not using UEFI or SecureBoot (though UEFI is available): $ sudo dmidecode | grep -i -E 'BIOS|UEFI' Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 3.0.0 present. BIOS Information BIOS is upgradeable BIOS shadowing is allowed BIOS ROM is socketed BIOS boot specification is supported UEFI is supported BIOS Revision: 1.0 $ mokutil --sb-state SecureBoot disabled Platform is in Setup Mode When I run the command: $ sudo mount | grep "/boot " /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime) Do I install grub2 on /dev/mmcblk0 or /dev/mmcblk0p2? I think it is the former, but I want to make sure. That is, is this correct: sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk0 (I have open questions about systems that claim both BIOS and UEFI, but I have not been able to find answers. If I need to back up a bit, then please say so). Thanks in advance.

Why is updatedb running now?

It did work that way of fedora 37, yet with the same changes in fedora 38 it is running at around 3:30 in the afternoon. What magic am I missing?

Upgraded my firewall machine F37->F38 today, with no apparent errors or issues... EXCEPT that I found it on power suspend twice in the first hour after finishing the upgrade. Checked power settings and found "Automatic Suspend" ON and set to 15 minutes' idle time.

Last round of update nailed my networking
by ToddAndMargo 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

Hi All, How do I get updates to stop altering my network configuration? I use a local caching named server (named-chroot) The last round altered the following: /etc/named.conf file is not a link, so should be left alone (and still not a link) Altered file: # Generated by NetworkManager search netgear.com acme.local # netgear.com ?????? nameserver 192.168.250.1 # address of my gateway Should have left alone at: search acme.local nameserver 127.0.0.1 AND SOMETHING KEEP CHANGING IT BACK to !!!!! ; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script search netgear.com acme.local nameserver 192.168.250.1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno2 Altered file: BOOTPROTO=none Should have been left alone at: BOOTPROTO=dhcp By the way, DNS1=127.0.0.1 in that file and was not altered [Editorial comment] AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

When you boot a live system, it has bash on it. By mounting the problem partition on the sshdd, you can then use the live system's bash to do the work you want to do, to fix the problems you want to fix, even if the damaged system doesn't have a bash. If you cannot mount the damaged system from the working live system, you have no access to it. So, cannot fix anything. > mount dev/sda2 can't work because as i have ever say windows ten is > only on dev/sda1, It seems you want sdb, but there is no mention of fedora on what you show of sdb, only on sda. > i need an explaining for the power on of the pen USB thus as i was > type previously before the start of the pen USB with the graphic easy > it ask either the first boot or the second boot finaly if you want > and if you ask i launch two time the line of command smart who show > whole parts for happening if fedora have one part root and one part > home, right ? But that is the problem, none of the data you have shown from this system shows a fedora root or home partition. Not on sda, not on sdb. That is why I said it looks like it is not there. > thanks you in advance to help myself, I don't think I am helping.

My first f38 bug: uname doesn't work
by Tom Horsley 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2189656 God knows how many scripts I have that use "uname -p" to get the architecture name, but it now returns "unknown" instead of "x86_64". I guess I'll replace uname with a script that invokes the real uname unless it is called with the -p option, then echoes x86_64 :-).

It might be possible to change the filesystem type on the fedora partition with a partition tool, from ntfs to ext4 or btrfs, whichever is correct. If grub is trying to read information written as ext4 or btrfs as ntfs, nothing is going to work. Have you made any changes to the disk information? You can install directly from the live system if fedora and windows are gone.

NetworkManager vs systemd-networkd
by Mike Wright 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Hi all, I've never been a fanboi when it came to NetworkManager so when I installed f38 I used systemd-networkd. I found it straight forward and was able to set up my networking very easily. Does anybody know which way forward Fedora is going? That is, NetworkManager with nmcli or systemd-networkd with networkctl? Or are they going to co-exist? Enquiring minds... Thanks, Mike Wright

Certbot error
by Patrick O'Callaghan 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

I'm trying to set up a simple web server for personal use, using Apache, and want to enable HTTPS access. This involves getting an SSL certificate and I'll be using LetsEncrypt (www.letsencrypt.org) The recommended way to do this is with Certbot, but I can't get past this error: # certbot --apache -d bree.org.uk Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Requesting a certificate for bree.org.uk Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80. Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details. Note that the httpd server is online and reachable from outside my local net, i.e. this doesn't appear to be a firewall issue. I've reported the problem upstream and followed a number of suggestions, but nothing seems to make any difference: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-fails-with-cant-find-virtual-ho… Any thoughts on this would be welcome, but please review the above link before replying. poc

Re: Broken by the grub startup after have move whole the system from one SSHDD more small to a SSD more big by a software acronis
by Chris Adams 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

I'm not sure exactly where your system is stopping, but I just went through an issue moving a system yesterday, so maybe this will help. If your system is booting in UEFI mode (running "efibootmgr" shows boot entires), there's an extra file that needs to be updated that I don't think is clearly documented anywhere, nor is there a command to updated it. That is /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg. It searches for the /boot partition by UUID. To find the correct UUID, I believe this will work: - boot a Live image from USB - select Troubleshooting at the boot menu and choose Rescue - at the prompt, choose to mount the system - in the shell, run: chroot /mnt/sysimage - find the correct UUID with: lsblk -o UUID,MOUNTPOINT | grep ' /boot$' - edit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg and put that UUID on the "search" line I'm not sure that this is clearly documented anywhere, and I don't think there's any command to update that file easily (unlike regenerating the main grub.cfg with "grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg"). -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

What I need is the result from the installed system. It is a positive thing that it shows your installed system, so the information we are looking for will be available once you mount this partition. /dev/sdb1 7664800 2038132 5626668 27% If the above is all you have installed, there is no need to run df again.

The live USB doesn't use grub, it seems. It should look something like: $ cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=false GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true And the blkid output was binary and didn't look like it was valid when I examined it. I presume that it was like that because it was also from the live system. Output from blkid should look like this: /dev/sda4: LABEL="root1" UUID="fb6b3e13-20d8-445f-b25a-c8a05a4c842f" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="6d8baf7c-14e7-4496-926a-8882715415ba" with a line for every partition on the installed system. Probably only one on your system, but maybe one for the EFI partition. Here are some better instructions. When the live system is running do an ls /mnt Is there a directory called sysimage in the output? Yes, next step. No, create a directory under mnt. mkdir /mnt/sysimage Mount the installed system on the new directory. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sysimage If there is an error from this command, there is no point in going further. Stop, and send the error you got. You can try looking in man mount to see if you can fix the error yourself. If the command finished successfully, you can do an ls /mnt/sysimage This should give you a listing of your installed system root partition, /dev/sdb1 7664800 2038132 5626668 27% $ ls / afs bin boot dev etc home lib lib64 lost+found media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var If it does, then next step. Doesn't, no point in continuing. Post the output of the command here. Make the installed system the root system, so you will be in it as if it was running, sort of. You will be able to edit and examine all the files. chroot /mnt/sysimage Run all the commands you ran above in the installed system. They will give the data we need to troubleshoot your system. The command less is handy for looking at files, read only. cat prints the contents of a file. I use vim as an editor, but you probably want to use a simpler editor. Fedora provides one called nano. You use exit to leave the chroot environment. Waiting for your data so we can get you running with your installed system.

scrolling issue
by bruce 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Hi. I've done something wrong. In test terminals, I can no longer seem to have unlimited scrolling. I run a test script, that should generate lots of line/output. For some reason, the output seems to only display the latest X lines (havent counted them). But it appears less than 50. I've looked in the "Terminal" menu, and unlimited scrolling is checked. I've tried the usual reset -- reset/clear etc. Looking over diff 'net sites hasn't gotten the 'aha' moment. Any thoughts thanks

F38 and new GDM behavior
by Jeffrey Walton 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Hi Everyone, I have a headless workstation that was upgraded from F37 to F38 this morning. After the upgrade I SSH'd back in and began performing post-install tasks, like cleaning up old packages and old symlinks. After 15 minutes of cleanup GDM suspended the machine with an active SSH connection. I got a message on my tty: Broadcast message from gdm@skylake on tty1 (Sat 2023-04-22 12:26:40 EDT): The system will suspend now! client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe I could not SSH back into the machine. I had to drive across town to wake it back up. It seems this is new behavior for Fedora 38: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-settings-daemon/c/c8f9665aca0617a9… . Thanks to u/EatMeerkats on Reddit for the explanation. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/12vfnt8/f38_suspends_with_active_s…) . The workaround I used was to mask the power states. No more sleeping while I am using SSH... # systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sleep.target → /dev/null. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target → /dev/null. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/hibernate.target → /dev/null. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/hybrid-sleep.target → /dev/null.

grub-customizer only show OSs on secondary HDs

People, I thought grub-customizer might help me do something but I have loaded it onto two computers now (F37 KDE WS) and a server (F34 XFCE) and after I run the program (it takes minutes to get info), the listing of OSs only shows info for the secondary HDs on each computer - instead of also the active OS booted from /dev/sda - why is this?

cifs mount error F38
by Ranjan Maitra 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

I recently upgraded two of my Fedora machines, but when I try to mount a Windows share using mount-cifs, I get the following: mount error(126): Required key not available The mount.cifs command that is used has the following sec=ntlmssp,rw,nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=3.0 Mounting this same share still works from my F37 machines. Presumably something has changed with F38, and so I am wondering how to mount these shares. Many thanks, and best wishes, Ranjan

fedora 37 network issues with current kernel vmlinuz-6.2.10-200.fc37.x86_64

Installed Fedora 38 (sway) / grub2 on a new HD - boots OK but does not have a menuentry item in grub.cfg ?
by Philip Rhoades 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

People, My Fedora WS has 4 drive bays and I access old boot and other HDs in bays 2-4. I just did a clean install of Fedora Sway to /dev/sda - everything is fine and the system boots OK but I am confused: - cat /etc/os-release NAME="Fedora Linux" VERSION="38 (Sway)" . PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 38 (Sway)" ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180" . VARIANT="Sway" VARIANT_ID=sway - The install picked up old Fedora boot setups which show up in /boot/grub2/grub.conf like this: menuentry 'Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) (on /dev/sde3)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-/boot/vmlinuz-6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64--f6f43412-e6ed-4dff-808b-fe013691c3b6' { - but why is there is not a line like this in /boot/grub2/grub.conf for Fedora 38 Sway? I can see that the appropriate other Sway files are in the /boot tree so I am guessing that grub2 somehow knows the proper, default boot image - even though the default does not have a menuentry in grub.cfg? A pointer to a link for info would be great . . Thanks! Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Are there any v2p tools?
by Ranbir 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Hi Everyone, I have a Windows 11 KVM running on a Fedora 37 desktop and wish to convert it to a physical machine. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent of virt-p2v for going from a virtual to physical machine. I was considering just using dd to dump the LVM backed KVM to an SSD. I'm not sure if that's going to give me a stable system. I do realize drivers will need to be installed in the physical version of the VM: I was hoping Windows 11 would automatically take care of most that to give me a running system and then I could manually install any missing drivers. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Ranbir

Don't focus Firefox when clicking a link
by Matti Pulkkinen 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

If I clicked a link in Fedora 37 in, say, my email client or a chat window, it wouldn't immediately focus the Firefox window, and the focus would stay on whatever window I clicked the link in. This meant that if I wanted to open multiple links, I could just click them all in quick succession without needing to hop back and forth between windows. After upgrading to Fedora 38 this behavior appears to have changed. Clicking a link will now cause the Firefox window to jump to the foreground. How might I restore the previous behavior? I found it more convenient. I'm using Gnome with a Wayland session if that makes a difference. -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

I think whatever translation program you are using is not very good. However, I will try to give some advice. I assume that you are trying to boot a Fedora system. This should work for other distributions somewhat, but even little problems might be big problems there. Would you post the contents of your fstab file. less /etc/fstab or cat /etc/fstab > ~/myfstab.txt Would you post the UUIDs of your drives, /usr/sbin/blkid and your disk usage. df Would you show the contents of /boot/loader/entries directory. ls -n /boot/loader/entries Would you show the contents of /boot directory. ls -n /boot Would you show the contents of /etc/default/grub. less /etc/default/grub or cat /etc/default/grub > ~/mygrubdefault.txt That data will give input for further instruction, and might pinpoint the error you are having. The live USB should have the ability to view the drive partitions. It has been so long since I did that that I don't remember it exactly. I think it was mount /mnt/Sysimage and that would put your system under /mnt/Sysimage and allow you to browse the files there so you can get the above information.

Python cSHAKE hash function for Fedora?
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Apr '23

19 Apr '23

cSHAKE is a variant of SHA3 defined in NIST SP800-185. This is different from SHAKE defined in FIPS-202. I use cSHAKE in a number of my IETF standards (e.g. rfc9374). I would like to be able to have a decent way to perform cSHAKE in a python script, but it does not seem to exist. OpenSSL supports SHAKE but not cSHAKE (it seems). sooo what to do. I have found: https://github.com/Hemoth/cSHAKE which seems reasonable, but I am not experienced enough with this end of things to do the building of the module to use per the instructions in the script and of course wonder if there is something better out there. I searched my Fedora mail folder and don't see any thread discussing cSHAKE. Does anyone have experience/knowledge of how to get a cSHAKE function call on Fedora in python? thanks

18 Apr '23

There are disk UUID values scattered around in all sorts of grub files as well as (probably) the /etc/fstab file. You need to find and fix all of those to use the new disk uuid. Boot off a live image to get a working system, run blkid to get the uuid values for the new disk then mount the new drive and edit the uuid values in (at least) these file on the new disk: boot/grub2/grub.cfg bool/loader/*.conf etc/fstab If you have a UEFI system, the files to edit may be different than just the ones I listed. If you have selinux enabled, you may need to force a complete relable (which I don't know how to do, but I know there is some way)

connecting to OpenVPN server: why NetworkManager nm-openvpn gererates curious, pointless random hostnames?
by Franta Hanzlík 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

I'm trying to configure OpenVPN connection in Fedora 37 NetworkManager. The configuration was created by importing the .ovpn file and subsequent its result correction. But connection is not working, and it seems it is because MetwokManage/nm-openvpn prepend OpenVPN server name with random string - which, of course, isn't resolvable to IP (v4) address. My configuration file is: # cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/lada.nmconnection [connection] id=mojevpn uuid=523155d8-ce42-499f-9b65-371733cd420c type=vpn autoconnect=false [vpn] ca=/etc/pki/vpnky/mojevpn/mojevpn-ca.pem cert=/etc/pki/vpnky/mojevpn/mojevpn-cert.pem cert-pass-flags=4 cipher=AES-128-GCM connection-type=password-tls dev=tun dev-type=tun key=/etc/pki/vpnky/mojevpn/mojevpn-key.pem password-flags=2 remote=gw.mujsrv.org remote-cert-tls=server remote-random-hostname=yes ta=/etc/pki/vpnky/mojevpn/mojevpn-tls-auth.pem ta-dir=0 username=lada service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy method=disabled [proxy] # nmcli connection up --ask mojevpn You need to authenticate to access the Virtual Private Network “mojevpn”.

Running VirtualBox Crashes Other Apps

Starting Oracle's VirtualBox has started to crash other apps, in particular Thunderbird, Firefox, and Libreoffice; but not the console. Firefox and Thunderbird just stop; Libreoffice attempts to restore files being worked on (but it failed to restore about 2 hours' worth of work). Has anyone seen anything like this?

Cockpit as root
by Emmett Culley 15 Apr '23

15 Apr '23

I am not able to login to cockpit, localhost:9090, as root. I can login as a normal user, but that isn't acceptable. Why would I even need cockpit as a normal user? I have a fully updated Fedora instance. It may be related somehow to plasma as at the top of the login dialog I see "Fedora Linux KDE Plasma". I suppose there is a configuration option to allow root logins. Note that sudo is not an option I am interested in using. Emmett

Warning for KDE users with HiDPI displays
by Go Canes 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

I "dnf updated" today and it took my system to KDE Plasma 5.27.1, and there is an issue with scaling on HiDPI displays. As near as I can tell the issue isn't fixed until 5.27.4, but that is not yet available in updates-testing. There are workarounds, but so far my experience is they make the system usable, but not "right".

UEFI Upgrade Fails
by Jonathan Ryshpan 08 Apr '23

08 Apr '23

Discover, which I use for upgrades, reports problems with UEFI. There is an update, which Discover refuses to install. Discover reports this message: UEFI DBX : Version 217 : Released on 4/8/23 UEFI Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database Insecure versions of software from Trend Micro, vmware, CPSD, Eurosoft, and New Horizon Datasys Inc were added to the list of forbidden signatures due to discovered security problems. This updates the dbx to the latest release from Microsoft. Before installing the update, fwupd will check for any affected executables in the ESP and will refuse to update if it finds any boot binaries signed with any of the forbidden signatures. ... It looks like there is a new version of the UEFI boot system, which can't be installed because of signature issues. Is this correct? Is it anything to worry about? Can anything be done to fix the issue? Is the issue likely to be fixed upstream?

GNOME interface is too bulky
by Ranbir 08 Apr '23

08 Apr '23

Hello Everyone, Is there a tweak in GNOME to shrink the GUI? It's huge! There's so much wasted space. It's eating up a ton of my screen real estate and driving me bananas. I like GNOME otherwise, I've been using it for 15 years or something silly like that and I don't want to move to a different desktop environment. But, if that's the most reasonable solution, then that's what I'll have to do. Thanks, Ranbir -- Ranbir

Security context for Apache

I've set up a simple web server for private use (though I will enable https access from outside the network), but I want some of the content to be outside the default /var/www/html tree. When I do this, I get file access errors when SElinux is enabled, but not when I set 'setenforcing=0'. I'd prefer to use SElinux as intended, so what do I need to do? poc

Virtual Machine Network Connection Confusion
by Robert McBroom 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Fedora 37 with four qemu/kvm virtual machines. Trying to get internet access from the vm's. Found some advice about using systemd-networkd instead of NetworkManager.

Sending messages to all users
by Robert Nichols 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Now that gnome-terminal (also mate-terminal, etc) no longer registers as a login session, what is the mechanism for sending messages to logged-in users? This is fairly important for shutdown, "UPS on bettery", etc. messages. The "wall" command does send a message to plain console sessions (Alt-Fn consoles), but the message does not reach GUI users whether or not a terminal emulator session is active, even with a terminal session started with the "Run command as a login shell" option selected. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
