Determining why I'm getting dropped to the emergency shell?
by Adam Mercer 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Hi I did an update this morning on my FC32 system and as there was a kernel update I rebooted the system, it didn't come back up properly and instead dropped me into the emergency shell. I've had a quick look around and can't see anything obvious to explain why it is doing this? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot why it's dropping me into the emergency shell so I can try to fix what's going on? Cheers Adam

Hi, When I run: qemu-img convert https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/32/Cloud/x86_6… disk.img It fails with the following message: qemu-img: curl: The requested URL returned error: 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable qemu-img: error while reading sector 2560: Input/output error Seems like maybe the http server is not configured properly. I couldn't find a better place to report the issue.

kernel 5.8.8-200 not recognizing Intel RAID?
by Ian Pilcher 15 Sep '20

15 Sep '20

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1878970 I'm not sure how widespread this is, but I recommend being cautious about updating the kernel if you're using "Intel Rapid Storage" RAID. (I.e. make sure that you have console access so that you can boot the previous kernel if necessary.) -- ======================================================================== In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ========================================================================

advice on writing tablet for use with Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Dear friends, With online instruction for large classes continuing into the near future, I am looking at writing tablets and wondering if any of these can be integrated into Fedora. My examples are from: https://www.amazon.com/Mice-Keyboards-Computer-Add-Ons-Computers/b?node=172… I am not sure if these can do what I am hoping that they can, but I am thinking of something hooked to my machine that is essentially like an Elmo and can be "projected" via a share screen (using zoom) and recorded (using, say, simplescreenrecorder). Do these things exist? Any suggestions? I do not want to give up my current machine, and buying an unnecessary tablet laptop because that would fragment my workspace (computer). Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.

i686 in F32??
by Beartooth 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

A few months back, I had lots of trouble with what should have been a routine, by-the-book dnf upgrade from one version of Fedora to another. What turned out, after much frustration, to have been the trouble was that I had several sort-of-duplicates: rpms the same except that one was .i686 in addition to another that was .86_64. I have just done a dnf upgrade, which installed libFAudio-20.09-1.fc32.i686 and libFAudio-20.07-1.fc32.i686. Should I now do dnf remove *.i686? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

KDE device notifier
by GianPiero Puccioni 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

Hi, recently I noticed that when I plug in a USB key it doesn't show in the device notifier and it doesn't ask as usual what to do with it. More info: -I am on F32 with KDE and sddmm as login manager. -when I plug in the key it appears in dmesg usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected scsi host6: usb-storage 2-1:1.0 etc etc -lsblk sees it sdb 8:16 1 29.4G 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 1 29.4G 0 part -I usually had it in /etc/fstab as /dev/sdb1 /media/disk auto rw,exec,noauto,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 As I like to mount it only if I want, but I tried without the noauto and without that line -The device notifier is configured to mount automatically devices when plugged in, but when I open it it says "no devices available". -If I try "mount /media/disk" as user it works without any problem. And I am sure it worked before. It seems that the problem is that the system sees it but the device notifier doesn't. Is there a recent update that could have caused this? GiP

Just for fun
by David 13 Sep '20

I am trying to create a bootable USB drive for Fedora 33 or Rawhide, but the only computer I have access to tonight is a Chromebook. My first attempt ( on my new Ryzen computer ), booted to the screen where it ask if I want to start Fedora or test the media, and the test immediately failed. I did not try to reboot and try the option to start Fedora. ( this was the latest iso of Fedora 33 from the happyassassin website. ) My second attempt was a different iso ( Rawhide LXQT, but that one stated it was just the most recent built ). That one would not boot. So at the moment, I am not sure if one can use a Chromebook to successfully create a good USB drive. It seems plausible. I will try at least one more time. Here is a summary of the steps. 1 ) rename Fedora.iso to Fedora.bin 2 ) open up the "Chrome Recovery Tool" from there is works similar to Fedora ImageWriter. ( They probably stole it. LOL ! ) So is there any chance it would only make a bootable image suitable for a Chromebook installation. It does not give you choice of changing the format type. So I do not know if it changes it. Prior to that I tried Fat32. My other option is to use the Linux container. and the dd command. Right ?? How hard could that be. But I do not see how the container can see the USB drive. I can share the contents of the drive with the Linux container though. All this is way above my deteriorating I.Q. David Locklear P.S. I have just built a Ryzen 3 1200AF system with ASUS motherboard and have access to ethernet. Is there some other way to get Fedora on it ?? For some reason, my old SSD with Fedora on it would not boot. I probably electrically fried the SSD mishandling it. I have some other Linux SSDs, and probably with Fedora 31 on them. but they are not accessible this week.

Fedora 32 + nVidia graphic artifacts on resume
by Sanne Grinovero 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

Hello all, after resuming from standby, many applications seem to omit repainting or refreshing areas of the screen. The system seems stable overall: applications keep running correctly, but I can't see important areas on the screen. For example, I might be able to open my email inbox, but then I can't archive an email as the area where the control buttons are supposed to be is entirely white (or black, in other applications). Or, someone pings me on IM - I can see the text but I can't reply as the reply area isn't there... you get the idea, it's annoying :) I've seen this happening both when using Gnome and when using i3. Since I'm running the nvidia proprietary drivers I'm assuming this is not related with Wayland, more likely some optimisation of the nvidia driver or how it integrates with X ? Would anyone have a suggestion as to how to debug this further, or a possible workaround? Maybe some nvidia driver option I could pass on the kernel, or in the X config file? I'd highly appreciate solving this, as it's my primary development machine: having to close all applications for frequent reboots has become very inconvenient. Unfortunately I can't easily roll back some update: I had this problem for many weeks, as initially I dismissed it as "just a glitch"; I had not paid enough attention to it and hadn't noticed that it was related to resuming from standby. This is what I'm running today: - linux 5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64 - nvidia 450.66 Thanks! Sanne

GDAL Code Dump
by Clifford Snow 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

I'm getting a core dump using any of the gdal utilities on F32. For example running orginfo --help returns Usage: ogrinfo [--help-general] [-ro] [-q] [-where restricted_where|@filename] [-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-geomfield field] [-fid fid] [-sql statement|@filename] [-dialect sql_dialect] [-al] [-rl] [-so] [-fields={YES/NO}] [-geom={YES/NO/SUMMARY}] [[-oo NAME=VALUE] ...] [-nomd] [-listmdd] [-mdd domain|`all`]* [-nocount] [-noextent] [-wkt_format WKT1|WKT2|...] datasource_name [layer [layer ...]] free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped) I tried reinstalling all components but still have the same problem. Bugzilla doesn't show any open bugs. Is anyone else experiencing problems with GDAL? Thanks, Clifford -- @osm_washington www.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch

dnfdragora not making all updates available
by Temlakos 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Everyone: The reform of dnfdragora to put all available updates into groups is not updating everything, and not updating many things it used to update without fail. The only reliable thing my system will update, are applications and various desktop relevant things. And not all applications, either. Basically, if it is not in a group, dnfdragora will not update it and I have to fall back on the traditional Software Management application to do these updates. The following packages typically fail of update and even of selection on dnfdragora: * The kernel and related packages. * Browsers other than Firefox. * Application packages from repositories foreign to the Fedora community, such as "bunkus.org" (mkvtoolsnix), google (for chrome), and Adobe Systems Incorporated. * System packages that run background processes that normally load themselves at startup and stay resident. I've checked for all possible settings I can make to solve this problem. No joy. I've tried refreshing metadata (which, by the way, takes fifteen minutes every time). No joy. I tried selecting "not showing the groups." No joy. Suggestions? Have any of you noticed the same issue? My desktop is KDE. "Check for updates" counts all packages that need an update. But again: if they're not in a group, they're not available for a selection. (Note: if you're going to tell me to report this as a bug, I need to know exactly where and how. I've filed bugs in the wrong place and they get no action.) Temlakos
