OT: Inventory able to track racks, shelves and shelve sections?
by Frederic Muller 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hi! I've been looking for a inventory free software to track the mess I have in my workshop and haven't found anything able to "adequately" track shelves numbers and sub-divisions. It seemed to be something very obvious for me, imagining big warehouses with shelves and cartons and people being easily able to find that carton full of .... that, in row 18, rack 99, shelve 3 inside section B. Well it is not. In fact warehouses are often treated as "locations" with nothing else in most cases. So I am curious if anyone knows of any way (I thought of using the comment section but that's not really a great way to do it) to handle this, or any software if it exists? Thank you very much for your insights. Fred

signature issue with recent dnf update (fc38)
by Eyal Lebedinsky 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

The below message shows, then the update proceeds to completion. Is it a problem? Is there something I should do or is it something at the repository side (which one?). I found articles suggested rebuilding the rpm db. However, since this problem happened on two machines I find it unusual to have the same issue in the two databases. [later] following a vague memory of looking into it before, I looked at an old package tux.x86_64 3.2.18-9.fc6 @System and then $ rpm -V tux.x86_64 error: Verifying a signature using certificate CAB44B996F27744E86127CDFB44269D04F2A6FD2 (Fedora Project <fedora(a)redhat.com>): Key B44269D04F2A6FD2 invalid: not signing capable error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 61 Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 4f2a6fd2: BAD Header SHA1 digest: OK package tux.x86_64 is not installed Is it related??

QCad
by ppadilcdx 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

I'm tracking Fedora 39, the latest build/update have QCad crashing consistently after opening it and adding anything to the empty drawing. New to Fedora so not sure if this is reportable (as I'm tracking ahead to the next release). Not sure if this is the correct mail list to send this to, so apologies. Any pointers welcome. Regards Pete

F38 install issues
by Matt Morgan 10 Sep '23

10 Sep '23

Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament to how well Fedora works these days. I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install F38 on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It booted fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive. I took about half of the 1TB SSD for Fedora, and told it to continue. Then I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the computer had booted to the USB drive again (it appeared). I removed the USB drive and rebooted again. The system booted to Windows with no indication of a grub boot menu. The drive was missing the space I'd reclaimed, so clearly that worked, at least partly. But nothing I do seems to get it to boot linux or drop me at a grub menu. When I boot off the usb drive, it works, but I don't see any linux-related files on the SSD. So basically it looks like the drive got partitioned, at least partly, and the install didn't run. So I'm trying to run the install again, but no combination of clicks is getting me what I want. 1) For "Installation Destination," I see "Error checking storage configuration." I click on that, and it has the one device for me to install to. At the bottom, it says "Error checking storage configuration." When I "click for details," I get --- The following erros were encountered when checking your storage configuration. You can modify your storage layout or quit the installer. Failed to find a suitable stage 1 device: EFI System Partition must be mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type None.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ntfs.; EFI System Partition must be mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ext4.; EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type btrfs,; EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi. ---- If I then go into "BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING" I do see a Btrfs volume, labeled "fedora_locahost-live," of 460GB. It has "home" and "root" subvolumes. It has no mountpoints for / and /home, but I can add them. Still, I guess it wants me to tell it where to put /boot? What do I do? For reference, when I look at the drive in BLIVET I see device type format size label mountpoint nvme0n1p1 partition efi 100MiB nvme0n1p2 partition 16MiB nvme0n1p3 partition ntfs 491.34GiB nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live nvme0n1p4 partition ntfs 662MiB So the overall picture I'm getting is that the first install didn't finish partitioning the drive (since I don't see anywhere for /boot) and didn't do any of the install. But a) I'm not really confident in that assessment b) I don't know what to do next, in any case. Is it nvwe0n1p2 where /boot was meant to go? Thanks, Matt
