mounting usb disks
by Paolo Galtieri 18 Apr '25

18 Apr '25

Folks, under F40 when I login after booting my system all my externally attached usb drives are mounted. Today I upgraded that system to F41 and now only a subset of the drives are mounted. Here is what I see in the log for one of the drives: Apr 16 16:23:47 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdk] Synchronizing SCSI cache Apr 16 16:23:47 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdk] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK Apr 16 16:23:47 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com systemd-homed[1657]: block device /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:02.0/0000:37:00.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.4/4-1.4:1.0/host11/target11:0:0/11:0:0:0/block/sdk/sdk1 has been removed.

[OT] bash help
by Mike Wright 18 Apr '25

18 Apr '25

Hey Gurus, I'm trying to write a bash script. There are 4 arrays: base10 base16 base62 base70. I want to match an array based on two digits provided by argument $1. e.g. getArray 70 would select base70 I've looked at substitutions, and {parameter,bash,brace} expansions. This substitution look possible ${foo/%from/to} (replace suffix) but that led me nowhere. This looks like it should be *so easy*, Amy takers? Mike Wright btw. this is a great bash cheatsheet https://devhints.io/bash

Re: The answer is here: Fedora Linux 42!

Matthew Miller via devel-announce writes: > If you run into any trouble, or just have > questions, you can find help at: > > * https://ask.fedoraproject.org/ This made me curious. Does anyone happen to know if the equivalent of this E- mailed announcement (that must've been broadcasted to the various Fedora forums, such as ask.fedoraproject.org) – I'm genuinely curious if the web- based versions of this announcement informs the reader about the fedora- users mailing list for additional help, assistance, and community support? Well, let's see. I see this announcement on ask.fedoraproject.org. It's a link to https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-42/ – splendid. Let's hop over there… Let’s talk over at Fedora Discussion. which is a circular link back to ask.fedoraproject.org So, it looks like the answer to the question I asked is "no".

updating the GRUB bootloader on EFI systems while upgrading
by Ranjan Maitra 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

According to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/ systems with the BIOS firmware have the GRUB RPM packages updated. However, the installed or embedded bootloaders are never updated automatically. It is my understanding that my GRUB2 is installed on UEFI systems. What do I do about these systems? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Update 41->42 Fails (kernel panic)
by Neal Becker 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

On an AMD workstation I am unable to update 41->42. When I try (using recommended sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42 sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot) On reboot, I get Kernel panic! (Attempted to kill init) I managed to recover but just doing a clean re-install. I was able to select my existing home btrfs to mount as /home, which save me from having to restore it.

xrdp authentication problem
by ToddAndMargo 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi All, Fedora 41 xrdp-0.10.2-11.fc41.x86_64 I have a customer that I set up a FC41 server with xRDP. Problem: Only my account can log in to xRDP. (Everyone works from console login and Samba.) The other users (all of them) get this error message in /var/log/xrdp.log [INFO ] xrdp_wm_log_msg: User does not exist, or could not be authenticated And no, I did not goof their passwords. I also do not have AlwaysGroupCheck configured # grep -i AlwaysGroupCheck /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini AlwaysGroupCheck=false Why does my account work and theirs does not? Yours in confusion, -T
