32 bit pam-libs?
by Tom Horsley 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

For a few days now, I've been getting update errors because (apparently) the 32 bit pam isn't yet in the repos even though the 64 bit version is newer: Problem 1: pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture - cannot install both pam-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 Problem 2: package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686 requires pam(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed - package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.i686 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686 Problem 3: problem with installed package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture - cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 In the past these sorts of things have gone away if I waited a couple of days, but it has been doing this all week. Is a proper 32 bit pam going to land soon? I'm not sure why I currently have 32 bit pam installed, any drastic consequences for removing all the 32 bit pam packages? There certainly doesn't appear to be a vast number of packages dnf wants to remove if I say erase pam.i686 and pam-libs.i686.

Long timeouts on logging out/shutting down
by Patrick O'Callaghan 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

I reported this on the Fedora KDE list a while back. Briefly, the kded daemon should die when the user session terminates, but actually waits around for up to 90 seconds before timing out. This blocks the system from shutting down, or from logging in the same user while the process is still running. This is happening despite KillUserProcesses being set to "yes" in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. The KDE list thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org/t… My KDE BZ report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456713 However I have come across a report from years ago that tells of a similar problem with GDM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1341837 So it doesn't appear to be specifically related to KDE, or even kded as such. Is anyone else seeing this? poc

WebEx client no longer works on Fedora 36
by Ranjan Maitra 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

Dear friends, Does anyone still have the official Cisco WebEx linux client work with Fedora 36? It used to work fine a month or so ago, but has not worked for me for the last two weeks (at least). Specifically, what happens is that the client opens up all right, but then when I either start or join meeting, the window tries to start and then everything comes crashing down. I am not sure what the problem is, and there are no error messages at all, but I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences and, more importantly, knew how to fix this issue. I am updated to the latest July version of WebEx and F36 (but for emacs, but that is not relevant). Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

32-->36?
by ToddAndMargo 04 Aug '22

Hi All, I have a customer who FINALLY agreed to have me upgrade his Fedora 32 server to 36. Can I jump directly, or do I have to go one or two revisions at a time?

Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

Nvidia refresh rate.
by GianPiero Puccioni 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hi, I want to decrease the refrash rate of the video to use less battery but I am having difficulties... I have F35 with KDE on a Dell G15 with Nvidia GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile], the RPMFusion drivers and a 1920x1080 resolution (native). In the "system settings-display" There is the possibility to change refresh from 120Hz to 60Hz but it doesn't stick; I change it and "apply" but if I change screen and go back to "display" it's again at 120Hz, I tried "nvidia-settings" but it has only info, not settings. The program "xrandr" reports 1920x1080 120.00*+ 59.97 59.96 59.93 Is this the problem 59.97 not 60? Any suggestions? G

fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 no longer comes back from hibernate (post Thursday updates)
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Dear friends, I have a fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 that has been updated nightly (and upgraded when appropriate) using dnf on a cron job for the past few years. Sadly, after last Thursday's updates, the machine goes down fine (with the usual systemctl hibernate), but does not come back up. I am a little confused what changed last Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I may diagnose and fix this problem. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Wifi Device Last Used Message From Network Manager - What Does the Message Mean?
by Stephen Morris 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Hi, When I boot into Linux and look at the config for my wifi device and it says the device was "Last used 30 minutes Ago", what exactly does that message mean? Does it mean what is says, or does it mean that was the last time the device was attempted to be activated? I'm asking this because I have had that message on a device that Linux could not use. regards, Steve

Fedora 35 crashes with all updates applied. How do I submit a bug report re. crashing in Gnome but probably Kernel bug.
by Andrew Wood 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Hello, I have Fedora set up with Fedora 35 (workstation edition) using Gnome 41.6. I notice a (annoying!) bug which occurs when I try and cut and paste from one window to another. What seems to happen is that the Gnome session closes and it dumps me into terminal mode. If I type Ctrl-C then Gnome restarts and a new user session is presented. Prior to my most recent update, this bug seemed even worse in its frequency and scope. But still, I am now continuing to potentially losing work (and basic functionality). This might be a Kernel error using shared memory between threads or processes but I really don't know. It's a guess. Anyhow, what do I need to do, to file a bug and what memory or process dumps/logs/stack traces are needed to help the developers. ie what do I type where! Thank-you. Andrew, Oxford(UK)
