Display Manager Configuration Files
by Stephen Morris 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Hi, Which configuration file identifies which display manager is being used, and which configuration file identifies which desktop that dm will launch? The issue I have is, I have the Fedora Astronomy spin at F32 level. I think it is starting SDDM at boot time and defaulting to start KDE. When I put on the system update two updates ago, the "start menu" refused to display any entries when clicked on. There was a subsequent system update after that, and when I put that on KDE refused to start, so in order to get a running system I eventually got the desktop to set its desktop drop down to Gnome (Wayland), and was able to get Gnome to eventually start. The issue this caused is now the desktop drop down will not show any entries other then Gnome (Wayland) to be able to try and start KDE again. I am running F32 in a Windows 10 hosted Virtualbox VM. regards, Steve

F33 KDE Plasma - how do I get the activity list/menu/bar to disappear/minimize ?
by linux guy 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

F33 KDE workstation. Dual monitors. I have an activity widget on my desktops. You press the widget and a list of activities appears. I've been using it for a couple years, no problem. I pressed it in F33 and the list appears. But I can't figure out how to minimize it or make it disappear. How do I make the activity list disappear ?

Where is 'virsh'?

05 Nov '20

I used virsh in the past to edit VM profiles, but I can't find it on F33. 'dnf search' turns up nothing. Where is it hiding? poc

tool to backup/restore just ACLs, xattrs, selinux context, etc?
by Tom Horsley 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

I've been setting up a NAS running TrueNAS, and after getting media serving sorted out, I'm now looking at using it to backup files from my fedora desktop. Trouble is, the TrueNAS ZFS filesystem don't know 'nuthin about all the "weird" extra file attributes (as near as I can tell, anyway). Is there any kind of tool to just backup all the different kinds of extended attributes in a database I can use to restore them if I have to restore files or directories from the backup on the NAS? Heck, maybe just create a big shell script with all the chattr, chcon, semanage, etc. commands.

Network problem
by Scott van Looy 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Hi, I’ve managed to do something accidentally to my network config and I’m not sure what. I’m running a server inside of an ESXi host It’s running using NetworkManager with 3x fixed IP addresses manually configured, .215, .216 and .217 There are 3 virtual adaptors attached to the VM in question, I shut it down, updated the host and then started it up again. So on startup, all 3 appear to be working and have IPs assigned according to ifconfig, but... .215 accepts pings, .216 and .217 do not If I turn off the adaptor assigned .215, .216 suddenly starts accepting ping requests. If I turn .215 back on again, only .216 continues to accept ping requests. If I turn off .216 then one of either .215 or .217 will start to accept ping requests. And so on. It’s super frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen or what could be causing it or any suggestions for what I can investigate? Regards, Scott

Starting Fedora
by Robert McBroom 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Installed F32 on a legacy system set up to run xfce4. Letting the system do the graphical boot works as expected. Booting to mode 3 command line login then trying to start the graphical display with startx fails to start the xserver. Going to a separate session with ctrl alt f4 gives a command line login but again a graphical display doesn't start with startx on an alternate display. Can start with xinit and xfwm4 as a window manager. From the graphical system, systemctl status display-manager ● lightdm.service - Light Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2020-11-04 08:23:58 EST; 8h ago Docs: man:lightdm(1) Main PID: 679 (lightdm) Tasks: 13 (limit: 4576) Memory: 147.6M CPU: 22.242s CGroup: /system.slice/lightdm.service ├─679 /usr/sbin/lightdm └─693 /usr/libexec/Xorg -core -noreset :0 -seat seat0 -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt1 -novtswi> Nov 04 08:23:57 Opti745.attlocal.net systemd[1]: Starting Light Display Manager...

how to install zoom client.
by home user 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Good morning, (f-29) (background) Last week, I was to participate in a "Zoom" meeting for a charity that I'm involved in. I have the needed software on my rarely-used windows-7 box. But I could not complete the windows-7 login (some problem with a windows-7 service). I've since found there is a "Zoom" client for Fedora. "dnfdragora" does not find anything for it. But I found a web page that I hope has what I need. I've downloaded the package ("zoom_x86_64.rpm"), and I've downloaded a "Public Key" ("package-signing-key.pub"). The web site from which I've downloaded these also has a line: Key fingerprint: [some 40 hex digit number] (4 questions) 1. Do the 2 files need to be in a specific place to do the install? If yes, where? 2. Do I need to be "root" to do the install? 3. What do I do with the "Key fingerprint"? 4. How do I do the install (preferably using "dnf")? thanks, Bill.

F33: can' t install akmod-nvidia
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

I'm getting an error when trying to install akmod-nvidia, apparently from a missing key: warning: /var/cache/dnf/rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-39512f6d281fdf9d/packages/akmod-nvidia-455.38-1.fc33.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 94843c65: NOKEY RPM Fusion for Fedora 33 - Nonfree - Updates 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00 Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-33 [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-33] The RPMfusion page (https://rpmfusion.org/keys) shows the key fingerprint but not the key itself (it isn't on https://rpmfusion.org/keys?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=RPM-GPG-KEY-rpm… ) Any ideas? poc
