color profiles for screens/monitors
by lejeczek 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

Hi guys How do we load & tweak color profiles in Fedora (without using external sensor-devices) ? My Lenovo Thinkbook built-in screen has different (and not adjustable in BIOS) color temperature what my external DELL shows - they are quite different thus annoying. many thanks, L.

[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

Apache fails to resume after hibernation
by Patrick O'Callaghan 07 Sep '24

07 Sep '24

I've noticed recently that Apache often (or perhaps always) doesn't respond after a system hibernate/resume cycle. After restarting it ('apachectl restart') all is well. I could script an automatic restart after resuming, but I wondered if this is a well-known problem with a simpler solution. poc

Hi All, Fedora 39 qemu-kvm-8.1.3-5.fc39.x86_64 virt-manager-4.1.0-3.fc39.noarch Windows 11 How do I Share Host Files (Fedora 39) with Windows 11 (client) with KVM? I have been reading this virt-manager how to: https://chrisirwin.ca/posts/sharing-host-files-with-kvm/ He is leaving out how to mount in Windows and his "Filesystem Passthrough" https://chrisirwin.ca/posts/sharing-host-files-with-kvm/add-filesystem.png is a lot different than mine https://imgur.com/pqPcLo0.png Anyone have a better howto? -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Kernel 6.9.5-200.fc40 throws me into grub prompt on reboot
by Frank Bures 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

Hi, I just did a kernel update and after reboot I ended up in a grub prompt. I booted from USB F40 and followed instructions at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/grub2-bootloader/#_restorin… However, whatever I did I was not able to successfully boot. I spent hours trying to figure it out before trying to boot to the old 6.9.4-200 kernel from the dreaded grub prompt and voila, the system happily came on. My question now is: How to restore my grub2 reliably so that I would not have to go through all these hoops again after next reboot. Any pointer would be gratefully appreciated :-) Cheers Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

[F40] Cannot boot live version from USB drive with UEFI BIOS
by Frédéric 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Hi, I created a USB stick with a live version of Fedora 40. I tried both the default version and the KDE Spin. I tried using dd and using mediawriter. Same result: I cannot boot on the USB drive if my BIOS is configured in UEFI as it is to boot from my hard disk on Fedora 38. It says that there is no bootable drive. Note that I need a USB stick because I want to change my hard drive. I noticed that I can still boot F30 from an old live USB drive and you can see below that the output of dmesg is not the same for both Fedora versions. With the F40 image, I see an error: [ 1543.382799] GPT:Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk. [ 1543.382808] GPT:4484087 != 31129599 [ 1543.382810] GPT:Alternate GPT header not at the end of the disk.

I tried to boot with legacy BIOS and it works but then when I want to install F40 on the new hard drive, I have the impression it wants to install it for legacy BIOS and not for UEFI which I would like to keep. If there is another mean to install Fedora on a new hard drive, please share. I can plug the new hard drive as USB3.

/boot too Small in F40
by Stephen Morris 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hi, My /boot partition is 512MB, which in F39 was more than ample for 5 kernels and a rescue image, but in F40 that partition is now to small for a new rescue image to be created when a new kernel is installed. The rescue image in F40 seems to be around 102MB in size which is more that double the size of any kernel, I don't know what size it was in F39. I've tried dropping the number of kernels retained to 4, but that still produces out of space conditions on new kernel installs with the rescue image. Is F40 now rebuilding the rescue image where F39 didn't? If I drop back to retaining only 3 kernels will that provide enough free space, currently /boot is using 360.2MB with 88MB free of the 512MB partition? Is F40 really that much bigger the F39 that the /boot partition size, which I have always used across multiple Fedora versions, is no longer big enough to handle what F40 does relative to kernels? I have my /boot partition on an SSD. I could run gparted to resize the boot partition by resizing the Windows drive C partition which is on the disk before it (a 512MB /boot partition for Ubuntu is immediately after the Fedora partition), but I don't really want to change the size of the Windows partition? regards, Steve

Latest upgrade KDE Wayland high CPU
by richard emberson 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Just upgraded from 6.8.8-300.fc40.x86_64 to 6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64. With both using KDE Wayland. With 6.9.5-200.fc40 there is high idle CPU usage: around 35% for /usr/bin/plasmashell --no-respawn around 25% for /bin/kwin_wayland --wayland-fd 7 --socket wayland-0 --xwayland-fd 8 --xwayland-fd 9 --xwayland-display :0 --xwayland-xauthority /run/user/1000/xauth_oPtMqQ --xwayland and 20% for [kworker/u18:2-events_unbound] There are a bunch of kworkers that for a time take up 20% CPU (such as [kworker/1:2-events] and others) With version 6.8.8-300.fc40 where was no such high CPU usage. What to do? Thanks Richard

Fedora F40 Won't Power Off
by Stephen Morris 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hi, Ever since a couple of updates ago, from KDE, when I select "Shutdown" KDE displays a black screen (it used to be that you could press the escape key and it would show you the apps that were closing down so you could see which apps were causing shutdown/reboot lag, but that doesn't seem to be working at the moment) but never physically powers off the pc, even if I leave it running all day/all night. Has anyone else seen this issue or know what I can look for to identify why? I have just put on an update that has installed kernel 6.9.4, I haven't done a restart yet to see if that rectifies the issue. regards, Steve

crazy dependencies
by Tim 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

I'd like to know why this: dnf remove gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1- plugins-bad-free-extras-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad- freeworld-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 Wants to do all of this (quoted below), it's a virtual system destruct for the want of removing some codecs. What harebrained logic is involved in working this out? It's not competent computer coding by any stretch of the imagination. I'd say that nearly ALL of those things would have been installed on the system before I'd installed those gstreamer things, so they're clearly NOT "dependent" on them. As to why I want to remove them, I'm trying to narrow down why playing some video files *sometimes* crash my system hard. And I say "sometimes" because at other times the same video file will play without any problems. Putting noautoremove into the command reduces the list of things it shouldn't interfere with down from 153 to 46 packages, but it's still interfering with things it shouldn't touch, and will end up destroying the system. I'm yet to see if it actually helps with the crashing problem, but I had to resort to: rpm -e --nodeps gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.20.3- 1.fc36.x86_64

Chrome/Chromium illegal instruction lately?
by Chris Adams 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

After some recent updates, I seem to get an illegal instruction the first time or two I start Chrome/Chromium after boot. If I close it and reopen it a time or two, it'll work like normal from that point on, until I reboot again. It's the weirdest thing, I can't think of anything I've ever seen act like this before. Not sure if this is a problem with Chrome/Chromium, some library dependency, or even the kernel. It's happening for me on both Fedora 39 and 40 (both x86_64). dmesg shows: [ 127.676343] traps: chromium-browse[3675] trap int3 ip:55bcd5b053c6 sp:7fff6061e350 error:0 in chromium-browser[55bccfde1000+d8af000] -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

alternatives is forgetful?
by Tom Horsley 30 Jun '24

30 Jun '24

I've always set my emacs alternatives to lucid emacs. Today I did a big dnf update, rebooted to get new kernel, and then got an error when I started emacs about the "pure GTK" version not operating correctly under X11 (one of the reasons I use lucid). Why did my alternatives config setting revert? Anyway, I've now removed all versions except lucid. Maybe that will make it stick :-).

Seamonkey not displaying pix
by Beartooth 29 Jun '24

29 Jun '24

Seamonkey under the last several releases of Fedora Linux does not display pix. It says, inter alia, "Error: could not load." It also gives me a link to Media Viewer; but the help page for that is over my head. I tried posting via Gmane to seamonkey.user, but have had no replies. I tried dnf reinstall seamonkey (with seamonkey not open), but that didn't help. It used to be a good browser. Can I fix it? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

smokeping alternative?
by Alex 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Hi, I've been using smokeping to monitor network problems for what seems like decades. It now seems to have been removed from the internet, lol. What are you using to monitor network drop-outs and latency and traffic problems? I'm already using munin to monitor service performance, and nagios to monitor services, but I'm looking for something that can graph latency in the same way as smokeping used to. Ideas greatly appreciated.

Using Signal-Desktop w Fedora 40

Greetings, Is there a way of using Signal-Desktop with Fedora 40. C'era una volta/once upon a time, there was. But all of the instructions for finding rpms, installation, etc., are either stale or unusable (installation fails; too many depencies that are not findable). Suggestions?

NetworkManager fights selinux
by Robert McBroom 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Fedora 40 system cold boot shows 10 selinux errors from NeworkManager on files in /run/NeworkManager. The contents of this directory seem to be created during the boot process. They are owned by root and writeable, but apparently not in the correct selinux context. My attempt to submit a bug to bugzilla failed for some reason. This status has persisted through several of the latest kernels. The connection to the network ethernet and wifi worked. SELinux is preventing NetworkManager from 'create' accesses on the directory devices. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that NetworkManager should be allowed create access on the devices directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.

Changing this file back to the default type may fix your problem. File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways. Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent directory by default. The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which creates a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label C. An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhcpc_t type and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this. Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or restorecon. This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally confined application was run under the wrong domain. However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not have been labeled with this type. If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package. SELinux is preventing NetworkManager from 'setattr' accesses on the file lo.nmconnection. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that NetworkManager should be allowed setattr access on the lo.nmconnection file by default.

F40 kernel 6.9.* and VMware 17.5.* question
by Mark C. Allman 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Anyone have VMware Workstation or Player 17.5.1 or 17.5.2 working on the 6.9.* kernels? The kernel modules from VMware haven't worked in quite a while. They don't compile for the 6.9.* kernels, and, if I'm remembering correctly, they don't compile when running the 6.8.* kernels either. I have the code for vmnet and vmmon from https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-17.5.1. There are all kinds of exceptions when the kernel modules are loaded at boot time. I tried running vmplayer as a test -- it "ran" but trashed the kernel and required hard reboots. One of the tests totally bricked my laptop (that was fun to recover). I'm currently running kernel 6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64and all packages are up to date. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7591, Core i7-10510U CPU, 16GB of ram. -- Mark

Any hints? I have some deja vu that it is flat/snap related somehow...

password issue with f40
by Michael Hennebry 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

I recently installed F40 from DVD. F40 and I are having a difference of opinion regarding what password I gave the initial user. F40 is winning. I find it hard to believe I typed in the same wrong password twice, but it's F40's opinion that counts. I try to login: click on the user and type in my password. F40 just goes back to the select a user screen. There is only one user. My usual strategy is to boot a live disk and to edit the passwd and shadow files directly. It did not work. Now F40 no longer even gives me a chance to type in a password. It just blinks at me and goes right back to the select a user screen. What is going on? How do I fix it? I would much prefer not to reinstall. Even if I have to reinstall, I would like to know what is going on.

Interesting mount problem - F40
by Frank Bures 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Hi, I have a small SSD that I use for /boot and /boot/efi partitions - /dev/sda I boot from /dev/sda I have another small SSD that I use as a dd backup of /dev/sda - /dev/sdg After update to a new kernel, I dd the /dev/sda to /dev/sdg so that in case of a failure I could boot from /dev/sdg. This scenario worked perfectly till several weeks ago. What is happening now is that the machine boots from /dev/sda, but then mounts /dev/sdg for its /boot and /boot/efi. So in df I see /dev/sdg instead of /dev/sda that the machine booted from. I solved the problem by editing /etc/fstab and pointing /boot and /boot/efi to the relevant /dev/sda[1-2] instead of the original UUID. Question: is this solution OK or have I done something wrong? Is there a better way of solving this? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

Firefox foul ups
by Steve Underwood 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

Is anyone else having problems with Firefox on FC39 with XFCE recently? After rock solid operation for a long time, in the last 2 or 3 weeks the UI has been fouling up every day or two when I do some seemingly mundane operation in Firefox. A couple of times Firefox has crashed after a few seconds. The foul ups sometimes only affect the Firefox windows, and other windows still work OK. Sometimes the whole desktop fouls up, and I have to switch to a text only screen and kill Firefox. That restores normal desktop operation for all the other windows. Steve

Hi All, I customer gave me a laptop he inherited to see what could be done with it.

(I can usually replace regular laptop WiFi cards.) I presume Intel's WiFi cards have good Fedora support? 2) does Fedora support touch screens?

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?

btrfs send command - why do I get these long times?
by Philip Rhoades 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

People, For decades I have been using rsync for all my backup needs - but with F40 I finally made the break from extx to btrfs for my workstation which introduced me to the concept of btrfs subvolumes and the possibility of snapshots. Since subvolumes don't provide security if the whole partition crashes, I have been experimenting with using btrfs "send" the created snapshots to another partition - and from there to separate backup drives and other computers. Here I made three snapshots of / on my workstation, making trivial changes to /etc/hosts between each snapshot and then finally sending all three snapshots to the /home dir ie: # for subvol in /z_btrfs_ss/*; do time btrfs send $subvol | btrfs receive /home/z_btrfs_ss/ ; done At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022356 At subvol root_20240609_022356 real 14m2.764s user 0m1.405s sys 0m51.704s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022807 At subvol root_20240609_022807 real 8m58.384s user 0m1.499s sys 0m59.899s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_035045 At subvol root_20240609_035045 real 5m53.532s user 0m1.472s sys 1m0.015s What I don't understand is that when creating the snapshots originally, the time to create them is almost zero but when using btrfs send to the other partition the times are _much_ longer. I guess it makes sense that the first send of the first snapshot is slow, but why are the second and third sends not much better? My previous script using rsync for incremental backups of a file system / dir is faster - I can check the times if anyone is interested . .

BTRFS disk arrangement on new build. Cockpit says home var and root not mounted
by Javier Perez 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

Hi. I just finished a new build to replace my current build. After installing cockpit, and checking Storage, i noticed some warnings about the disks. It claims that /root, /home and /var are not mounted. I think they are. I just wonder if I am doing something wrong or weird here and I'd appreciate a second look. Here is my fdisk root@pepewin2:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 232.89 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Disk model: CT250MX500SSD1 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: BC00B518-F1B2-4E9B-9974-1D9612A26EF6 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 2050047 2048000 1000M EFI System /dev/sda2 2050048 6244351 4194304 2G Linux extended boot /dev/sda3 6244352 488396799 482152448 229.9G Linux filesystem Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 3.64 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors Disk model: CT4000P3PSSD8 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/zram0: 8 GiB, 8589934592 bytes, 2097152 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Here is my fstab root@pepewin2:~# cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Sat Jun 1 00:44:00 2024 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk/'. # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info. # # After editing this file, run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to update systemd # units generated from this file. # UUID=f487ad1f-706e-48ae-bf48-6250db089806 / btrfs subvol=root,compress=zstd:1 0 0 UUID=bdbee4ec-ad70-4099-bd9b-ae5fade659d7 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=6685-48C2 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2 UUID=14b53d5c-55ac-476b-86eb-d775f3d27a28 /home btrfs subvol=home 0 0 UUID=14b53d5c-55ac-476b-86eb-d775f3d27a28 /var btrfs subvol=var 0 0 Here are my subvols root@pepewin2:~# btrfs subvol list / ID 258 gen 1645 top level 5 path root root@pepewin2:~# btrfs subvol list /home ID 256 gen 15289 top level 5 path home ID 257 gen 15289 top level 5 path var root@pepewin2:~# btrfs subvol list /var ID 256 gen 15289 top level 5 path home ID 257 gen 15289 top level 5 path var root@pepewin2:~# cat /etc/fstab and here is what mount says... root@pepewin2:~# mount /dev/sda3 on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,ssd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=258,subvol=/root) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,seclabel,size=4096k,nr_inodes=4066606,mode=755,inode64) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,inode64) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot) pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel) efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) bpf on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=700) configfs on /sys/kernel/config type configfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,size=6522228k,nr_inodes=819200,mode=755,inode64) selinuxfs on /sys/fs/selinux type selinuxfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=37,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=10692) hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=2M) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel) tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing type tracefs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) /dev/nvme0n1 on /var type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,ssd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=257,subvol=/var) /dev/nvme0n1 on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,ssd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=256,subvol=/home) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,nr_inodes=1048576,inode64) /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=winnt,errors=remount-ro) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,size=3261112k,nr_inodes=815278,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000,inode64) portal on /run/user/1000/doc type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) And here is the output of Cockpit Storage IDTypeLocationSize nvme0n1 -

Hello, I update a machine by dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40 However, I had to run dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40 --allowerasing But I forgot to save the list of files which had to be removed. Can I recover the list of files which have been erased?

number of lines on console
by Greg Woods 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

I've spent about an hour searching without finding an answer. Is there any way from the kernel command line (i.e. by editing the GRUB entry) to control the number of lines on the console? I installed Fedora 39 on a USB stick so that I can use it to boot other computers to diagnose problems with the installed OS. The problem is that when it is booting, the latest console messages are off the bottom of the screen so that I can't see what it's doing (this is on a standard 1920x1080 HD monitor in this case). If the boot hangs, then of course the last few messages are the crucial ones to see. Once the machine is booted, of course, then I can log in and use tools such as "stty" to set the number of rows and cure this problem, but I need something that will take effect during system startup before the login prompt comes up. Thank you, --Greg

I disagree with your 'fix' in using /var. Notwithstanding the anaconda installer's indications and instructions NOT TO, the installer always seems to WIPE the /var partition. Accordingly, you should use a symlink from /var/git (or in my case(s) /var/lib/mysql and /var/www/html) to somewhere else which will remain stable across a re-install. In my case I point these instances to an actual "physical" partition which is /misc, which allows me to easily back-up all the active 'stuff'. (It's really meta to describe a 'partition' on an SSD as 'physical'... but there we are.) Yes, it's a little more work on an actual re-install but I have some 'run-once' script lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which handles all of the stuff I would not remember how to do, much less remember to do... And Jeff, you should remember that it is spelt: Geoff

How to remove settings from a systemd unit file
by Sam Varshavchik 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

So I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why attempts to push via DAV to a git repo were failing. Eventually I succeeded in stracing the httpd process sto capture the request. It was getting an EROFS when it tried to write to the git repo. Amusing. To make a long story short, the culprit was: ProtectHome=read-only in /lib/systemd/system/httpd.service,(the git repo was in a directory inside a mounted /home partition). I tried using systemctl edit httpd And putting this in there: [Service] ProtectHome= However this apparently did not work. I threw in the towel and just edited /lib/systemd/system/httpd.service and commented this setting out, entirely, to finally fix this issue, and happy git pushing resumed. But how do I fix this so that the next apache update doesn't clobber this?
