Fedora on a 2015 iMac?

by Lists

I have a 27" late 2015 iMac with i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM. It runs El Capitan just fine after wiping the drive and doing an Internet install. This would make a fabulous Fedora workstation! However, I have had trouble getting Fedora installer to run much at all. I have an F38 install ISO dd'd to a thumb disk. On my Dell laptop, the installer starts fine. When I put the thumb disk on the iMac and hold <alt> during boot, I see "EFI Boot" without issue., but every attempt I've tried to get it to boot or start into the installer has failed. Is there anybody here who has had success loading/running Fedora 37/38 on Intel iMacs? Thanks Ben Smith

grub2-mkconfig Strange Message

by Stephen Morris

Hi, I have just used dnf to put on the currently available maintenance in F38, having not put any on for a week or so, after upgrading from F37 via dnf system-upgrade a couple of weeks ago. After putting on the maintenance I used grub2-mkconfig to build the grub.cfg file and got the message below after it notified of finding the linux kernels, does anyone know what this means and why they are being produced from the released version of grub2-mkconfig, the process I ran after the maintenance I put on a week or so ago did not produce these messages? fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F regards, Steve

Long time after login on Fedora 38 KDE

by ogio.spam

Hi all, I experience a long time after password to obtain the desktop ready. Just to be clear, the problem is only with a user. Another user is not showing this behaviour. The good user is a new fresh user, the not working is a user with the home directory copied from an old Fedora with KDE. I worked on startup, removing all of them, but the problem is still there. There is a way to check what is appening after enter password? Tnx Ogio

where to submit a bug against "xv"?

by home user

"xv" does not handle "webp" images. I do not see "xv" in the Redhat bugzilla menu of components. Where do I submit a bug against xv?

Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, 'dnf update' is failing for me for F38 on x86_64. Is anyone else experiencing failures during DNF update? I want to ensure something did not recently break with systemd (that I have to fix).

Startup Problems

by Robert McBroom

F38 starts to a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. Does not respond to keyboard or mouse. The display manager is supposed to be sddm. Editing the grub entry to start in single user mode gets me to a terminal screen where I can login. startx begins but fails to connect to the X server. ------------------ xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) xinit: connection to X server lost waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. ----------------------- xinit brings up a terminal window where a lxsession will give a graphical desktop. gnome and kde plasma fail to start. xfce gives a desktop with no window bar on windows and mouse window operations Which is not really usable. ]# systemctl get-default graphical.target Note: found "3" on the kernel commandline, which overrides the default unit. ________________ What do I need to do to get the system to boot to the desktop?

verifying Fedora downloads

by Tim

Hi, Having just downloaded a couple of F38 spins to try, I had a look at the verify instructions (both identical) on https://fedoraproject.org/spins/mate/download/ https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/download/ ------------------------ begin paste ------------------------ Verify your download Verify your download for security and integrity using the proper checksum file. If there is a good signature from one of the Fedora keys, and the SHA256 checksum matches, then the download is valid. Download the checksum file into the same directory as the image you downloaded. Import Fedora's GPG key(s) curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here. Verify the checksum file is valid gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM Verify the checksum matches sha256sum -c Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use! --------------------- end paste ---------------------- The "download the checksum file" bit contians a link to download the checksum with your browser. Fair enough, but since there were command lines to copy and paste for the other two bits, I would have put a command line to fetch the checksum, too. And I wish that sha256sum command output was a bit more structured or controllable, the blob it outputs isn't the easiest thing to read: ------------------------ begin paste ------------------------ $ sha256sum -c Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM sha256sum: Fedora-Budgie-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-Budgie-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: OK sha256sum: Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-LXQt-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-LXQt-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read Fedora-MATE_Compiz-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: OK sha256sum: Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: WARNING: 19 lines are improperly formatted sha256sum: WARNING: 8 listed files could not be read --------------------- end paste ---------------------- I would have spaced that out better for humans to read, perhaps list the non-existent files separately, or have an option to skip them. Bizarrely, there is an option to say nothing about the OK files. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 4 15:21:22 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
