recovering back-up.
by home user 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

(F-42; stand-alone workstation; Gnome) Just before trying to upgrade from F-40 to F-41, I did a back-up to a USB 3 stick. The upgrade failed. A local friend gave me a windows-10 box to use. Until I could get the Fedora workstation adequately restored, I needed to get a few things off the F-40 back-up onto the windows-10 box. Attempts to re-install Fedora from Fedora-42 Live Workstation appear to have completely destroyed the partitioning of the hard drive. When I inserted the back-up stick into the port, windows-10 told me to use defender to scan the stick. I did so. I asked for a scan only. I did not want defender to attempt any repair or other changes. Defender reported no problems. But now when I insert the back-up stick into a port on either tower, it's claimed the back-up stick is un-formatted and empty. Fedora's "disks" and windows-10 (file browser and defender) agree. I do not recall which file system the back-up stick was formatted with beforehand. How can I recover the back-up (without cost)? Note that I'm needing to recover the back-up as a whole, not just a file or 2 from a back-up.

BIOS update, grub boots, Fedora doesn't
by Go Canes 28 Jun '25

28 Jun '25

I recently updated the BIOS on a new Dell XPS 16 running Fedora 40. Prior to the update everything was working fine. After the update, grub displays the boot menu and indicates it is booting the default entry, then...nothing. I have performed the following tests and/or remedial actions: - attempted to downgrade the BIOS - the updated version does not allow downgrading - no change if secure boot is enabled or disabled - confirmed the boot disk (NVMe) is in AHCI mode (not RAID) - tried disabling extra C-states in BIOS - no change - BIOS has self-tests, they all pass - booting older kernels including the rescue kernel do not change the behavior (other than the grub output as to which kernel is being booted) - booting Ventoy works and lets me select other images to boot - booting a f40 netinstall ISO(via Ventoy) (the same one used to instal Fedora 40 on this laptop initially) gets as far as the "install/test/rescue" menu, but otherwise has the same boot failure - booting a f41 netinstall ISO (via Ventoy) has the same behavior as the f40 netinstall ISO - booting clonezilla (via Ventoy) gives multiple messages about trying to read or write outside of the partition - booting a Raspberry Pi x86 ISO (basically a live image) (via Ventoy) displays several boot messages before the system hangs - booting a NetBSD ISO (via Ventoy) displays several boot messages before eventually displaying a "privileged instruction fault" trap and dropping into a debugger Out of all of the above, the only thing that made me go "hmm" was the partition errors from clonezilla, so I did a test where I disabled the NVMe disk and attempted to boot off of a known, good Fedora install on a USB drive. This also failed. My theories and where they break down: - CPU issue: everything boots and works, up to a point, and the BIOS self-test passes. - RAM issue: everything boots and works, up to a point, and the BIOS self-test passes. - NVMe issue: grub boots, and if I disable the NVMe drive, the boot failures persist anyway. Any suggestions?

iso from usb stick
by ToddAndMargo 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Hi All, I have an Windows 11 ISO I burned to a 8GB USB stick. The burning process removed a bunch of hardware silliness. The stick is only about 5BG used. Is there a way to make an ISO out of the stick and only get the used space (dd get everything)? Many thanks, -T

F41 -> F42 (openbox+slim: X does not get started)
by Ranjan Maitra 01 Jun '25

01 Jun '25

Hi, I use openbox WM and the SLiM login manager. I upgraded my F41 -> F42 machines, following the instructions on https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/ to the letter. However, the machine comes up with a blank screen. It appears to me that the system is trying to start X but is unable to do so. I tried getting a login console (without a login manager display) but that prompt disappears almost immediately. Previously, I did not have a problem with any of my upgrades so I am not sure what is going on here. But would you have any suggestions on how to address this problem? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

shotcut video editor segfaults in Fedora 41 VM
by Robert Nichols 31 May '25

31 May '25

I'm trying to use "shotcut", installed in a Fedora 41 virtual machine, to split up some large mp4 files. It can read the files and play the videos just fine, so there is apparently no decoder issue, but any time I try to do anything with the file the process segfaults. Suspecting there might be a memory issue with these large files (7.5GB on the largest, but same result on an 862MB file), I increased the VM's memory allocation to 32GB. No difference. There is no sign that the system is running out of memory. Here is a typical sequence: Create a new project, "Test1", Drag an mp4 file from the "Recent" area into the Playlist, Double-click on the Playlist snapshot to select it and start the video playing, After about 90 seconds, without doing enything else, the process segfaults. Heck, I find that if I just drag the mp4 into the playlist and do nothing else (not even playing the video), the process still segfaults after about 2 minutes, all of this with no appreciable CPU activity in the meantime. Here's the tail of the generated shotcutlog.txt file: [Info ] <MainWindow::open> "/Public/S862M.mp4" [Debug ] <Playlist::InsertCommand::redo> row 0 [Info ] <MLT> [link swresample] 2(stereo) f32le 44100Hz -> 2(stereo) s16 48000Hz [Info ] <MLT> [link swresample] 2(stereo) f32le 44100Hz -> 2(stereo) s16 48000Hz [Info ] <MLT> [consumer sdl2_audio] Audio Opened: driver=pulseaudio channels=2 frequency=48000 [Info ] <MLT> [link swresample] 2(stereo) f32le 44100Hz -> 2(stereo) s16 48000Hz [Info ] <MLT> [link swresample] 2(stereo) f32le 44100Hz -> 2(stereo) s16 48000Hz [Info ] <MLT> [link swresample] 2(stereo) f32le 44100Hz -> 2(stereo) s16 48000Hz [Info ] <Util::isMemoryLow> available RAM = 31469388 KB [Debug ] <autosaveTask> Function autosaveTask finished in 3 ms.

How to setup certs for https access for Fedora 42?
by Michael D. Setzer II 31 May '25

31 May '25

Have been running http on port 8081 for long time with no problem. Tried to do similar with 8443 for https, but would never get connection. ISP blocks port 80 and 443 to regular home machine. ISP did some changes, and I can now connect using port 8443 that maps to port 443 on machine. Gives security warning Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER I can add an exception, but would have to have all users do the same. What is option to create the certificates. Just have some basic web pages to share data? +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

systemd-automount
by François Patte 31 May '25

31 May '25

Bonjour, I added in /etc/fstab this line: 192.168.1.16:/data /home/myself/bertuccio nfs noauto,rw,user,nofail,soft,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30 0 0 I expected that the folder /data from 192.168.1.16 would be mounted automatically but it is not the case... it is mounted only if I use some command on the folder /home/myself/bertuccio for instance: ls bertuccio or cd bertuccio... Why it is not automaticlly mounted when I loggin? Thank you. F.P.

Chrome from Google - have your tabs, except for the active/current one, lost background?
by lejeczek 30 May '25

30 May '25

Hi guys. Since a few days back, my Chrome's tabs lost background - I'm using dark theme so won't tell how it does otherwise - only tab's text is there, kind of, but the whole tab (top bar tab) is translucent, whatever is underneath shows. It's now a matter of Chrome's setting - those I did not change, but also did reset to "defaults" - I think I'd blame some recent rpm updates. Only the current/active tabs has consistent, black background. When underneath background is white, then Chrome's tab text is gone too. I'm on Intel ARC 310. sample: https://postimg.cc/zbRJWV3v Can anybody see the same/similar issue? thanks, L.

Strange DNS behavior

I run my own internal name server using my own resolv.conf. Everything has been running perfectly for years. Yesterday, my ISP changed my address and now things are flaky. I think I've found and changed all references to the old address ("find / -type f | xargs grep -l $oldaddress") but it's not working.

Issues with Libreoffice after upgrading to Fedora 42 from 41?
by Michael D. Setzer II 25 May '25

25 May '25

Run libreoffice --calc from script and with Fedora 41 saw no warning messages using either the Fedora default install or version from libreoffice site. Now with upgrade to Fedora 42 on 7 machines, I'm getting warning messages. Versions of libreoffice installed. $rpm -qa | grep libreoffice | grep calc libreoffice-calc-25.2.3.2-1.fc42.x86_64 libreoffice25.2-calc-25.2.3.2-2.x86_64 Running the Fedora version get these warnings. $ libreoffice --calc warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) warning: parent <office:styles> does not have any rules defined (child: <style:style>) Seems to work fine, but seeing all those warning messages that didn't happen before the upgrade to 42? Also, strange the difference between parent have <officice:styles> and child: have <style:style> would expect to see the same. With the Libreoffice installed in the /opt directory it runs with no messages. First time I ran it, it did mention issue with PYTHONHOME not being defined, so I defined it, and then that message went away. $ libreoffice25.2 --calc $ export PYTHONHOME=/usr/lib64/python3.7; libreoffice25.2 --calc I did compare the files in the Fedora libreoffice directory and the /opt libreoffice directory, and there are a number of files that Fedora doesn't have. Libreoffice version is -2 while Fedora's is -1? Just seeing all these warnings. If you run from menu, you never even see these.

F42: whither xsane-gimp?
by Sam Varshavchik 24 May '25

24 May '25

In gimp I'm missing the File/Create option to pull an image from a scanner. Google results mention the xsane-gimp package, but dnf in F42 knows nothing about it. I did find /usr/share/sane/xsane/doc/sane-xsane-gimp-doc.html that tells me to manually create a symbolic link. Huh? That's not progress. Is that really how to feed xsane to gimp, these days?

Question on change from dnf to dnf5
by Michael D. Setzer II 24 May '25

24 May '25

Was just looking at /var/cache/dnf and /var/cache/libdnf5 noticed /var/cache/dnf had a lot of older files and directories /var/cache/lib/dnf5 had a lot less. moved contents of dnf directory to backup, and ran dnf update to see what it would create and nothing was created, but files updated in libdnf5 were updated. dnf directory was left empty. Then ran dnfdragon to see what it would do, and found that dnf directory had a lot of files, but the older ones where not there. So what is best setup. dnf does seem to call dnf5, but is the dnfdragon still using the older dnf? Had a strange issue with 2 machines giving checksum errors with WineHQ but 5 other machines not giving error. find if I copy from /var/cache/libdnf5/WineHQ-9dce16cb982ed15a directory from machines that work. # find . . ./repodata ./repodata/repomd.xml ./repodata/primary.xml.zst ./solv ./solv/WineHQ.solv ./attrs It will work. On none working machines the directory only has ./attrs/expired If I do and dnf clean all; then files all disappear except the attrs/expired zero byte file and the errors return??

error after upgrading from 41 to 42 /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin: Old compiled fcontext format, skipp
by Michael D. Setzer II 23 May '25

Do an su command would show this and also saw in some other dnf operations. Found https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/curious-error-old-compiled-fc ontext-format-skipping/154135 Had a number of messages, but seems the .bin files are compiled with some Old format? I had messages about the minimual directory, while this person had targetted. My solution to fix the problem as su. cd /etc/selinux for a in $(find . | grep “.bin” | sed ‘s/.bin//g’); do echo $a; sefcontext_compile $a; done That rebuilds the 6 .bin files, and then problem goes away. Not sure it is best solution. Not sure why upgrade installed an old version that resulted in the error/skipping. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

dvd contents show in chinese
by Amadeus WM 22 May '25

22 May '25

I'm going through some cd/dvds with data going back to my graduate school years and when I put them in the dvd drive they get auto mounted fine under /run/media/user, except that the directory contents are listed in Chinese (I think). If I umount /run/media/user and manually mount the dvd with mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd then the contents are in plain English, so I suspect it's a matter of configuration. The locale is cat /etc/locale.conf LANG="en_US.UTF-8" How is the dvd automounted and how do I configure that to use English? Running Fedora 41, gnome 47.5. Thanks!

freeradius 3.2.7 servert and/or freeradius ldap module problem
by polakovi＠niif.hu 21 May '25

21 May '25

Hi all, I'm writing here because the freeradius-3.2.7-2.eln146.src.rpm package I want to use comes from the https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2671622 environment. The task is to perform ldap authentication on the freeradius server *and* the rm_ldap module must *return* the 'fail' status to the questioning freeradius server if the ldap server is unavailable/unresponsive after the freeradius server has started. I got to the point that because of the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992551 bug, the freeradius package got a Patch6: freeradius-ldap-infinite-timeout-on-starttls.patch . The consequence of this is that if you use starttls, the module will wait indefinitely, and therefore the freeradius server calling the module will not receive the requests if the ldap server is unavailable/unresponsive after the freeradius server has started. If I compile my own package where this patch is not in use, the ldap request fails, but this information does not reach freeradius. In other OS environments, this happens and is visible in the output '/usr/sbin/freeradius -d /etc/freeradius/3.0 -X -xxxx'. Mon May 19 17:04:17 2025 : Error: rlm_ldap (ldap): Failed to reconnect (3), no free connections are available Mon May 19 17:04:17 2025 : ERROR: (1) ldap: Failed performing search: Timed out while waiting for server to respond Mon May 19 17:04:17 2025 : Debug: (1) modsingle[authorize]: returned from ldap (rlm_ldap) Mon May 19 17:04:17 2025 : Debug: (1) [ldap] = fail On my environment: Wed May 21 10:58:17 2025 : Error: rlm_ldap (ldap_institute): Bind with uid=xxx,ou=yyy,o=zzz,c=com to ldap://ldap.example.com:636 failed: Can't contact LDAP server Thank You in advance for your help.

f40->f42 upgrade conflict: /usr/sbin/rhino vs /usr/bin/rhino

Doing an upgrade, following the recommended doco.

Is this a bin vs sbin artifact? the nut package includes /usr/sbin/rhino Driver for Brazilian Microsol RHINO UPS equipment the rhino package includes /usr/bin/rhino invokes the JavaScript shell for running scripts in batch mode or interactive I decided to remove the package 'rhino' which did not remove anything else (so nobody needs it?). maybe other programs need /usr/bin/rhino but fail to declare the dependency. I can add rhino later if required. I need 'nut' and do not want to remove it. What is the correct way to resolve this problem? Can I leave rhino installed but exclude it from the upgrade?

wifi interface not up at boot
by Jon LaBadie 16 May '25

16 May '25

Working with a new laptop, Asus s16 s5606. I replaced the Win 11 install with F42 Mate/Compiz spin. I can get the WiFi interface to connect to my network but only with manual intervention. The interface card is an Intel BE201. There is no wired ethernet interface. I have been unable to have the WiFi interface active at boot. I see no "bios" setting to change nor is there a keyboard kill switch. I'm using Network Manager but I've tried systemd-networkd and iwd as alternatives. Upon logging in, I can do one of three things, click on the NM applet and "enable WiFi" or from the command line use "nmcli radio wifi on" or some rfkill command, the syntax I've forgotten, to turn the radio on. Any suggestions as to how to get the wifi card active and connecting during boot? -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

Was: Audio not working after updates F42
by Philip Rhoades 15 May '25

15 May '25

People, I don't think it is related to the OP Subject but I am not sure either: I used dnf to upgrade from 41 a couple of weeks ago and everything seemed to be fine. Because YT ads annoy me, I usually bulk download a bunch of videos that look interesting from the RSS feeds I get and then play them all from a script with mpv. Last night or today I think I have done something that is preventing the sound from working. After hours of messing around I found: - mpv playing mp3s works fine. - mpv playing mp4s works fine for a new tst user but not for me (phr). - all the stuff I looked at seems to be working fine (alsa, pipewire etc) but using this switch in the command fixed the no sound problem: mpv --audio-device=alsa . . . and: mpv --audio-device=pipewire . . . fails. So at least I am operational again but I don't know what the problem is for usr "phr". Suggestions about how to debug would be appreciated! Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

F42 live hangs at boot
by Michael Hennebry 13 May '25

13 May '25

I downloaded Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso and followed directions to check the checksum. dd'ed the file to /dev/sdf . At the time, that was a USB adapter for an SD card. cp'ed /dev/sdf to f1.iso . cp copied more than was dd'ed, so I interupted it. cmp told me Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso was an initial string of f1.iso . When I tried to boot from the SD card, I got Trying to boot from CD-ROM Trying to boot from USB device GRUB hang I have also tried using the boot menu. When I tell the boot menu to use the USB device, it doesn't. It just boots from the hard drive as if that was what I told it. What is going on?

suppose I remove nvidia card?
by home user 08 May '25

08 May '25

(F-42 stand-alone workstation; gnome) good morning, My F-42 workstation had 21 mixed crashes in a few hours late yesterday, and more in a matter of minutes just a few minutes ago. It was installed yesterday afternoon. It's practically unusable. I'm now on a windows-10 box (separate hardware, no dual boot). In my "securing..." thread, Samuel said: "...Anaconda won't install the proprietary NVidia drivers, so you must be using nouveau. If it works, then great. If you have issues, you might want to install the drivers from rpmfusion." I don't know if the crashes are related to using nouveau, or due to something else. I do not game. The most graphics-intense thing that I do (as far as I know) is watch youtube videos with a resolution of about 1.4k. So I'm wondering... Suppose I remove the graphics card (nvidia GeForce GTX 660; 12 years old) entirely. 1. What do I lose by going without the graphics card? What are the risks? 2. Would I have to install Fedora-42 Workstation all over again?

on dnf update, system hung in restorecon
by Robert Moskowitz 06 May '25

06 May '25

Today, on attempting resuming after suspending my system before boarding my plane. My system hung. So I powered cycled, and since I have not done an update in over a week, instead of logging into my graphical window, I switched to Term2, logged in as root and ran "dnf update". I have done this a lot of times when I hung like this. Don't log into graphical window and then have all the apps start and still should do an update. So ~87 updates and a new kernel. Big deal. But it hangs on a scriptlet that looked like selinux-policy. So I switch to Term3, log in as myself and run top. I see restorecon eating up 96% cpu. I wait 30min. Still not done. I go to my Win10 system and google Fedora and restorecon eating up time. Found bug 1832327 on F35! The poster killed restorecon, so I did too. Obviously update finished. I rebooted and logged in. Is there something I should do/check since I killed it? thanks

F42 - KDE - change logout screen icons?
by John Horne 06 May '25

06 May '25

Hi, I am using F42 with the KDE desktop, and the 'Bluecurve' icon theme. If I right-click on the desktop it comes up with 'Show Logout Screen' in the menu. If I select that, then it shows several options - 'Sleep', 'Restart', 'Shut Down', 'Log Out' and 'Cancel'. However, not all the options have a specific icon, they just show a question mark (with a white background). I have noticed that with Bluecurve some of the (KDE) panel icons too are shown as question marks (e.g for Konsole, Notifications, Screen brightness, Networks and 'Show hidden icons'). It is possible to assign a suitable icon for those on the panel, although I would have hoped that Bluecurve would have provided suitable icons already. My question though is if anyone knows whether it is possible to assign icons for the logout screen mentioned above? Thanks, John.

Advanced Github Notifier Firefox plugin layout issue
by Sam Varshavchik 05 May '25

05 May '25

Is anyone using this Firefox plugin? https://github.com/freaktechnik/advanced-github-notifier I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same problem, or not. The rendering of notifications, in the notification popup, is slightly garbled. It looks like the rendered font is a little bit bigger than the plugin thinks it is, so things get cut off, especially above and below the notification text. I hope that the tiny attached image makes it clear what I'm talking about, see below. This seems to be issue on Fedora, hence me asking here. The notifications' layout is correct in Ubuntu. I'm using XFCE on both, and the plugins are synchronized between them. Although the Firefox versions are slightly different I've seen this issue for a few years now, and multiple Firefox versions, here and there. I'm also using the "Zoom Page WE" extension, in Firefox, which may or may not be relevant since the extension is used in both Fedora and Ubuntu Firefox.

Must remove a partially installed kernel
by Terry Hurlbut 03 May '25

03 May '25

Everyone: The worst problem I have so far discovered about Fedora 42 is that the DNF updater does not work as it once did. The "updates ready" icon no longer shows, and one attempt I made to update packages with it, ended with a kernel entry in the boot loader (GRUB?) that causes a panic when I try to load it. This is Kernal Build 6:14.4 for the x86_64 architecture. If I didn't retain two known good kernels with every upgrade, I would have "bricked" this computer. Happily, I have Build 6.14.3 available to use. But because it's not at the top of the list, I must consciously select it every time. What I want to do is to install 6.14.4 in a working version. I'm guessing that I need to remove the corrupt 6.14.4 installation I have, then run, say, "sudu dnf upgrade --refresh" again and have that routine install the kernel "fresh." But I'm afraid to try to work out the commands, because I might remove all kernels and then my system would really be "bricked." So: could someone tell me what commands to issue, in their proper order, to get Kernel build 6.14.3 working again? Two outputs follow below.

secondary clipboard only one letter?
by ToddAndMargo 30 Apr '25

Hi All, Fedora 41 I notice that when I have one of more xfreerdp sessions and and AnyDesk session open, my secondary clipboard (<ctrl><c> - <cltr><v>) starts only copying one letter. It is very frustrating. By chance is there a setting to increase the buffer size of the secondary clipboard so it can handle more clients? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
