Installed Fedora 38 (sway) / grub2 on a new HD - boots OK but does
not have a menuentry item in grub.cfg ?
by Philip Rhoades
People,
My Fedora WS has 4 drive bays and I access old boot and other HDs in
bays 2-4. I just did a clean install of Fedora Sway to /dev/sda -
everything is fine and the system boots OK but I am confused:
- cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="38 (Sway)"
.
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 38 (Sway)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180"
.
VARIANT="Sway"
VARIANT_ID=sway
- The install picked up old Fedora boot setups which show up in
/boot/grub2/grub.conf like this:
menuentry 'Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) (on /dev/sde3)' --class
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'osprober-gnulinux-/boot/vmlinuz-6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64--f6f43412-e6ed-4dff-808b-fe013691c3b6'
{
- but why is there is not a line like this in /boot/grub2/grub.conf for
Fedora 38 Sway?
I can see that the appropriate other Sway files are in the /boot tree so
I am guessing that grub2 somehow knows the proper, default boot image -
even though the default does not have a menuentry in grub.cfg?
A pointer to a link for info would be great . .
Thanks!
Phil.

Are there any v2p tools?
by Ranbir
Hi Everyone,
I have a Windows 11 KVM running on a Fedora 37 desktop and wish to
convert it to a physical machine. There doesn't seem to be an
equivalent of virt-p2v for going from a virtual to physical machine.
I was considering just using dd to dump the LVM backed KVM to an SSD.
I'm not sure if that's going to give me a stable system. I do realize
drivers will need to be installed in the physical version of the VM: I
was hoping Windows 11 would automatically take care of most that to
give me a running system and then I could manually install any missing
drivers.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't focus Firefox when clicking a link
by Matti Pulkkinen
If I clicked a link in Fedora 37 in, say, my email client or a chat
window, it wouldn't immediately focus the Firefox window, and the focus
would stay on whatever window I clicked the link in. This meant that if
I wanted to open multiple links, I could just click them all in quick
succession without needing to hop back and forth between windows.
After upgrading to Fedora 38 this behavior appears to have changed.
Clicking a link will now cause the Firefox window to jump to the
foreground. How might I restore the previous behavior? I found it more
convenient. I'm using Gnome with a Wayland session if that makes a
difference.

I don't really understand what you are saying. I think whatever
translation program you are using is not very good. However, I will
try to give some advice. I assume that you are trying to boot a Fedora
system. This should work for other distributions somewhat, but even
little problems might be big problems there.
Would you post the contents of your fstab file.
less /etc/fstab
or
cat /etc/fstab > ~/myfstab.txt
Would you post the UUIDs of your drives,
/usr/sbin/blkid
and your disk usage.
df
Would you show the contents of /boot/loader/entries directory.
ls -n /boot/loader/entries
Would you show the contents of /boot directory.
ls -n /boot
Would you show the contents of /etc/default/grub.
less /etc/default/grub
or
cat /etc/default/grub > ~/mygrubdefault.txt
That data will give input for further instruction, and might pinpoint
the error you are having.
The live USB should have the ability to view the drive partitions. It
has been so long since I did that that I don't remember it exactly. I
think it was
mount /mnt/Sysimage
and that would put your system under /mnt/Sysimage and allow you to
browse the files there so you can get the above information.

Is there some way of getting interactive access to a Fedora boot menu
to a computer on the same LAN?
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I am guessing this is not possible since the network is not even running
yet . . could a mini-network of some kind be possible for the menu?
My next-best alternative is to just a let a normal boot take place, get
network access, log in and change the default boot order and reboot . .
Thanks,
Phil.

Python cSHAKE hash function for Fedora?
by Robert Moskowitz
cSHAKE is a variant of SHA3 defined in NIST SP800-185. This is
different from SHAKE defined in FIPS-202.
I use cSHAKE in a number of my IETF standards (e.g. rfc9374). I would
like to be able to have a decent way to perform cSHAKE in a python
script, but it does not seem to exist. OpenSSL supports SHAKE but not
cSHAKE (it seems).
sooo what to do.
I have found:
https://github.com/Hemoth/cSHAKE
which seems reasonable, but I am not experienced enough with this end of
things to do the building of the module to use per the instructions in
the script and of course wonder if there is something better out there.
I searched my Fedora mail folder and don't see any thread discussing cSHAKE.
Does anyone have experience/knowledge of how to get a cSHAKE function
call on Fedora in python?
thanks

Re: Broken by the grub startup after have move whole the system
from one SSHDD more small to a SSD more big by a software acronis
by Tom Horsley
There are disk UUID values scattered around in all sorts of grub files
as well as (probably) the /etc/fstab file. You need to find and fix
all of those to use the new disk uuid.
Boot off a live image to get a working system, run blkid to get the
uuid values for the new disk then mount the new drive and edit the uuid
values in (at least) these file on the new disk:
boot/grub2/grub.cfg
bool/loader/*.conf
etc/fstab
If you have a UEFI system, the files to edit may be different than
just the ones I listed.
If you have selinux enabled, you may need to force a complete relable
(which I don't know how to do, but I know there is some way)
