[Rawhide Test Week] DNF 5.2 2024-06-05 through 2024-06-11
by Sumantro Mukherjee 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hey Folks, Many of you by now know that in Fedora, we try to open up more opportunities to test upcoming features which are currently being developed. This time DNF team is working closely with Fedora QA to run the DNF 5.2 test week[0]. As a part of this test week, we will be specifically testing the system-upgrade feature. Previously, DNF would leverage DNF plug-ins to do system upgrade. This is now baked into DNF 5.2 and this test week will focus on testing that feature. Needless to say, we will also be testing the regular DNF features. You can always go ahead and submit the results here[1].

fstab
by Patrick Dupre 04 Jun '24

Hello, With ext4 filesystems, I used to set ext4 noauto,errors=remount-ro 1 2 in the fstab. With btrfs FS it does not like the option errors=remount-ro mount: /mnt/backup_2: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. btrfs: Unknown parameter 'errors' Is there another option?

Installed Rawhide with btrfs; dnf system update to v40 has errors ; re-install from Live USB without affecting a non-root subvolume?
by Philip Rhoades 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

People, A while ago I was in a hurry to start using F40 (Sway) and installed Rawhide from a live usb to get started. Everything went pretty well and I had minimal problems up until after f40 was release. However now, when I tried to do a: dnf system upgrade download --releasever=40 I get a lot of errors - trying to do "dnf --erase" the problem rpms ends up making the problem worse. So, if I try to reinstall from the current f40 live usb - can I do that without touching the backup subvolume? ie: /dev/nvme0n1p3 btrfs 1,951,850,496 464,659,184 1,486,438,224 24% / /dev/nvme0n1p3 btrfs 1,951,850,496 464,659,184 1,486,438,224 24% /backup For decades I have just been using a separate partition for /home with ext[2|3|4] and this was conveniently not touched if I did a custom install to upgrade - I want to do something similar for this backup subvolume. Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

strange results of history command list
by AV 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

This is on fedora 40, a fresh 'everything' network install. I always update/upgrade manually using 'sudo dnf --refresh upgrade'. To save typing I would scroll through the command history using the arrow keys. But 'sudo dnf --refresh upgrade' is no longer listed! All other commands I used are still listed, but not this one. Can somebody explain? AV

grub2-install

Hello, There is bug reported about grub2-install 2240994 for a while but no solution are proposed. grub2-install: error: This utility should not be used for EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot. If you really wish to proceed, invoke the --force option. Make sure Secure Boot is disabled before proceeding. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com ===========================================================================

No screen blanking after inactivity, Framework 16 laptop
by Sam Varshavchik 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

I installed the F40 XFCE Spin on a Framework 16 laptop. Display power management is enabled but the laptop display does not blank after the prescribed period of inactivity, whether the laptop is plugged in or on battery. I tried uninstalling xfce4-screensaver, this made no difference. Does anyone have display power management working on a Framework 16 laptop?

Please stop hijacking /etc/resolv.conf
by Sam Varshavchik 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

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.

RAID options during install?
by Alex 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

Hi, I'm trying to install fedora40 server on a server with 3x4TB disks and I don't understand how the RAID options work. I'm familiar with RAID and how it works, but it's been quite some time since I've used the fedora installer, and it appears to have changed. How do I create a RAID5 array from the three disks? It appears like it's not possible to create the three partitions on each device separately? I'd also like to create a 3GB swap partition on each disk, but it also appears to not be possible with this installer?

Network install options?
by Alex 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

Hi, I have a new server with OVH that I'd like to install fedora40 over the network in some way. I can do IPMI, but that prevents me from doing a graphical install. I don't think I can do the PXE option because DHCP doesn't work across the Internet. I'm assuming the DHCP server for my server only recognizes the MAC for my network card, not for PXE boot? Are there other options available? Something I'm not thinking of? I don't have local access, so installing via CDROM or USB stick is not possible. Maybe I can load some type of basic system into RAM, then use that to somehow boot fedora?

Issue with logrotate and mariadb?? After upgrade to Fedora 40
by Michael D. Setzer II 01 Jun '24

01 Jun '24

Worked fine with Fedora before 40, but now get message. Line in /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb /usr/bin/mariadb-admin $EXTRAPARAM --local flush-error-log \ flush-engine-log flush-general-log flush-slow-log #OUTPUT #/usr/bin/mariadb-admin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed #error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' Message would probable not be seen with regular lograte run? Edit the file and add -u root -p(password) and it runs fine. /usr/bin/mariadb-admin $EXTRAPARAM --local flush-error-log -u root -p*******\ flush-engine-log flush-general-log flush-slow-log Don't like having password in files, so wondering if there is a solution. Didn't see this with versions before 40 update. Files in /etc/logrotate.d have ls -l mariadb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1702 Feb 7 10:00 mariadb So, seems public would be able to look at file?
