F35 install doesn't find existing Windows installation
by Matthew Saltzman 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

I have a Lenovo Yoga X1 (2nd generation), on which I was happily running a dual boot of the original Windows 10 installation that came with the machine and Fedora 34, which I had upgraded through a few versions of Fedora. This time, I decided to do a fresh install of Fedora 35 (to try out BTRFS), but when the installation finished, there was no option to boot Windows. The Windows data partition, Microsoft reserved partition, and recovery partitions are all still in place. I attempted to use grub- customizer to add a chainloader entry pointing to the Windows, but it displays "Error building boot sequence. Check parameters!" Gparted shows the Windows partition and the EFI partitio both have bootable and esp flags set. Thanks in advance! How can I get my Windows system to be accessible again? -- Matthew Saltzman School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Clemson University mjs AT clemson DOT edu

Fedora 35 using XFS as default for Network iso / XFCE?
by Doug H. 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Shortly after the release of Fedora 35 I downloaded: Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-35-1.2.iso I generally keep the current netinstall iso in case I might want to use it for repair and I also generally use it to create a VitrualBox install to show what a vanilla Xfce install looks like. I am taking defaults for the disk partitioning but I am switching to Xfce desktop. I have stated the install and it is currently downloading the packages. The interesting part is that I see that it has used XFS instead of BTRFS. Might this be expected? Might it be due to the netinstall being a bit out of date? Might it be due to XFCE desktop? -- Doug H.

Building a USB maintenance drive instead of using Live USB drives ?
by linux guy 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

From time to time I need to do maintenance on Linux computers that involves booting an OS other than the one installed on the machine. Currently I have 2 computers that need such attention. In the past I've used Live bootable USB drives. They have a number of limitations including: - they use Gnome. I'm a KDE guy. - they lack many of the tools I need - gparted, etc. - they don't support persistence, so every time I boot with them I'm running a script to get everything set up to where I was the last time I booted. One can supposedly make Live USB images persistent, but 1) it didn't work when I tried it and 2) there are limitations, including that do a major upgrade to the Live installation. (ie, no dnf updates) So... I'm thinking of installing Fedora35 for real on a USB drive and then using that for my maintenance work. Has anyone done this ? Tips ? Tricks ? Advice ? I'm specifically wondering about setting up partitions on a USB device. Same as a SATA device ? Anything special about booting a USB device instead of a SATA or NVME device ? Thanks.

Firefox laggy?
by Jeffrey Ross 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

I recently did a reinstall of Fedora as the upgrade from 34 to 35 failed for me. I ended up doing a new install of Fedora 35 while retaining my /home partition, all other partitions were reformatted during the install. After the install I found that Firefox seems to be laggy when opening pages and when typing in forms, I can often out type the display in FF, I know I'm a relatively fast typist but I don't think I am that fast. According to top, "Web Content" spikes to just over 100% when I'm typing in FF and "GeckoMain" also spikes to 70% or so. Suggestions? Thanks, Jeff

accessing a fedora box (latest fedora 35) from Windows using PuTTY/WinSCP only possible with userid/password
by Walter H. 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

Hello, can someone please give me a hint, where to look for the following problem ... I have several Linux VMs (all except this one are CentOS), and I took /root/.ssh/authorized_keys from one of them and copied it onto this Fedora box; accessing from my Jump-VM also directly using SSH from Win10 works fine using the private key, but from when using PuTTY/WinSCP I get: "Server refused our key." (all other Linux-VMs use the same authorized_keys and can be accessed using PuTTY/WinSCP with this private key) is there something I must change on the side of the Fedora box or something I have to change in PuTTY/WinSCP? (I'm using the latest releases of PuTTY/WinSCP) Thanks, Walter

Packagekit background updates
by Matti Pulkkinen 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

Hello, tl;dr is packagekit supposed to download updates in the background? On Fedora Workstation, I have long been in the habit of installing updates through Gnome Software every time before I shut down my computer. Recently, however, I decided to see how the automatic background updates work. After about a week or so of not installing updates manually, I did get a notification that updates were available, and I expected that when I next go to shut down my computer, I would have the little checkbox there that I could tick to install the pending updates. However, that checkbox was not there. The very first time booting the machine after installing F35 Workstation, updates really were downloaded in the background and the checkbox was there, so I know the facility in question does work. It's just that it does not seem to trigger on anything beyond the very first boot. Is this intended behavior, even though I have the "automatic updates" setting enabled in Gnome Software? -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

dnf upgrade to Fedora 35 using --downloaddir just wiped out my entire home dir !
by linux guy 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

dnf upgrade to Fedora 35 using --downloaddir just wiped out my entire home dir... ! So... went to do an upgrade to Fedora 35 and found that I was lacking room for the downloads. I have /home set up on a separate drive, so I did the following: dnf system-upgrade download --downloaddir=/home --releasever=35 The upgrade went well, except when I rebooted into F35 I couldn't log into my home directory. So I rebooted and logged into a console session. When I did, I got an error message stating that /home/<me> was missing. ls /home showed me that all my home directories are missing. I'm guessing that dnf downloaded all the packages for the upgrade to /home and then did a rm -rf * on them, taking out my home directories in the process. Can someone confirm this ? Any chance I can recover the files ? I am beyond angry that this happened. I've been using Fedora forever. I'm sure I've used --downloaddir before without this happening.
