/boot too small
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
During an update, I get
Error Summary
-------------
Disk Requirements:
At least 7MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.
How can I fix it without currently resizing /boot?
Thank

Please stop hijacking /etc/resolv.conf
by Sam Varshavchik
I updated from F39 to F40. I used to have:
/etc/resolv.conf -> /run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf
Everything got messed up because the update hijacked this symlink again:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 39 May 29 09:44 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
I was confident that F39 did not have systemd-resolved installed, it must've
been pulled into the update.
I repeated the experiment on two other F39 systems today. I confirmed that
neither one of them had systemd-resolved installed. F40 pulled it in, and
the package's scriptlet clobbered /etc/resolv.conf
It would be real nice if someone finally STOPed this repeated hijacking of
/etc/resolv.conf, and breaking network connectivity, is this too much to ask?
Although this was fairly simple to fix, this kind of behavior does not
improve systemd's existing reputation.

Can Fedora REPLACE Android on Smart Phones?
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I have messed around with Android ROMs in the past - mostly for fun -
now I would like Fedora running on my old Pixel2XL, which is currently
running the last available Lineage ROM available for it.
I have been experimenting with proot and chroot - but these things just
create Fedora containers - has anyone installed Fedora as the host OS on
phones other than Pine64|Pinephone|Pine64 PinePhone Pro|Pine64 Pinetab
(1 and 2)|Purism Librem 5|Oneplus 6 ?
Thanks,
Phil.

2 installations on the same PC - Add partition in Ftab
by soles.g
Hello:
I need help with two topics:
a) install two Fedora40.
Therefore I have two EFI
and that creates 'problems'
Is there anything I can do so the PC doesn't get 'confused'...?
b) I would like to mount a partition from Ftab...
├─sda7 ext4 1.0 from fedora_37 8ff104f3-ee9g-41be-9b2e-2b97d88f17cb
83.3G 51% /run/media/soles_40/from fedora_37
/dev/sda7: LABEL="from fedora_37"
UUID="8ff104f3-ee9g-41be-9b2e-2b97d88f17cb"
BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="2ef79c09-c5a1-5943-0722-10f22g41633e"
When I mount it... the mount command tells me:
/dev/sda7 on /run/media/soles_40/from fedora_37 type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)
Do I write that in Ftab...?
I write in Spanish and 'san' Google translates.
Thank you...
Claudia
Ah! and I know VERY little about computers... ;-)

MS Bitlocker Blue Screen on Reboot
by Tim Evans
Woke up yesterday to terminal messages about /var/log being read-only;
all graphical apps (Thunderbird, Chrome) had crashed. So, I decided to
reboot.
Background first: this is a new (3-months-old) PC. It came with two
disks, an NVME with Windows 11 pre-installed and an empty second HDD. I
DID NOT boot the system in Windows when it arrived. Instead, I popped
in a Fedora 39 Live thumbdrive, hit the BIOS hot key, and booted from
the thumbdrive, then installed F39.
Again, the system has never, ever, booted into Windows. Which means I
have no Bitlocker recovery key, nor any means to access it. Contacting
Microsoft won't do any good, since the system was never registered. (I
will have to try Dell.)
F39 install was successful, and I've been using the system ever since.
Normal grub bootup, offering Fedora kernels, rescue boot, and Windows.
So, getting back to yesterday, I went to reboot the system, and it came
up with the blue MS Bitlocker screen, asking for the Bitlocker Recovery
key. Have never seen this before.
Then, I noted the "skip this drive" button on the Bitlocker screen,
which brought up a second screen, with an alternative devices button.
Clicking this reveals a "Fedora" button. Clicking it brings up the
normal grub boot screen and away we go into Fedora.
Repeating the reboot gets the same results. I have to click through the
Bitlocker screens to get to a Fedora boot.
Not a big, big deal, but this prevents any sort of unattended reboot
from being possible.
Suggestions for restoring the normal boot process, please? Thanks.
