How to replicate my windows GlobalProtect VPN on Fedora 40
by Sbob 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

All; I am working with a client that has me working on a (ugh) windows laptop. I have slowly gotten everything I might need to access working from my linux laptop running Fedora 40, with one exception, the GlobalProtect VPN. Is there a way that I can grab whatever config info I might need from the windows laptop and setup a local VPN that will connect from my Fedora 40 laptop? Thanks in advance

system policy preventing wifi scan
by Michael D. Setzer II 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

I've got a number of Fedora machines that have wifi and have had no issues with being able to work with connecting to various wifis. But had done a setup for my brothers one notebook with Fedora 40, and it would come up with a message that system policy was requiring authentication?? It would have a pop up screen come up like 10 or more times showing his user id, but box to enter password work not allow entry?? Then eventually, the last one would have cursor appear, and would have to enter the password into each of the pop up windows?? Eventually found this solution. In /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d#/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/5 0-local.d creating the file with contents 47-allow-wifi-scans.pkla [Allow Wifi Scan] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes The notebook I'm using has no such file, and it has always worked. So confused why brothers machine had issues? His is the only user on machine. Only thing different, is his had Fedora 39 installed cleanly a while ago, while mine has had many updates over years? This solution worked, but was there a better one? Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Thunderbird - Wayland / other apps
by lejeczek 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Hi guys. I think it came with an update a few releases ago - Thunderbird no longer stays on the monitor it was on, prior to screen-saver. After screen-saver was invoked, Thunderbird goes onto the main monitor always - for those of us who have two-monitor setup, needless to say. I wonder if Fedorians see this - Thunderbird & Firefox (multiple windows/instances) not remembering it's monitor position, has been an on-off issue for a last few yeas - with other apps too? Perhaps answers here, could be useful feedback for devel - as to whether it's Gnome/Wayland & all-apps or/and only given apps(their issue). thanks, L.

How do I Contact the Rpmfusion List?
by Stephen Morris 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Hi, I have installed Jellyfin from rpmfusion by following the instructions on the Jellyfin web site for Fedora. After activating Developer Mode on my TV I used Docker to install the Jellyfin client on the TV. I ran the Jellyfin script to open up Jellyfin in Firewalld (After starting FirewallD as the service seemed to not have been activated after the upgrade to F40). I then enabled and started the Jellyfin service on my pc to start the server. When I invoke Jellyfin on the TV and supply the require IP address of my pc and required port, the Jellyfin client tells me the server (I think) needs to be upgraded and gives me the Github URL to get the upgrade. Hence I need to approach the Rpmfusion guys to see if they can upgrade the server to the latest version. regards, Steve

Boot hangs on recent kernels
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

Since kernel 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64, boot hangs on KDE Plasma (kernel 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 was the last good one). I found that there is a job running infinitely: 'Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-8e895....running ...' The above mentioned UUID (8e895 ...) corresponds to the kernel 'resume=uuid=...' command line parameter. When I comment it out in GRUB2, as suggested in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/solved-boot-hang-job-dev-disk-by-x2u… then the system boots as expected. This is a rather fresh install of fedora 40 (running on ext4): da 8:0 0 232,9G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1,1G 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:2 0 49,1G 0 part / ├─sda3 8:3 0 31,7G 0 part /home └─sda4 8:4 0 151G 0 part /mnt/Daten3 I have no swap partition, resume after hibernation works without errors. Although there is an obvious workaround (permanently removing the resume parameter from the kernel command line), I still wonder what has happened?
