State of 'systemd-cryptenroll + tpm2' ?
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
I'm trying to tell systemd to unlock at boot root partition
so I follow general notes/howtos but, after a reboot, when I
think all is good to luks auto-unlock OS hangs at such re/boot.
I wonder if any of you fellow Fedorians have such
systemd-root-luks-unlock work? I'm on F35.
many thanks, L.

Flatpack takes precedence over Yum?
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
I wonder if you think this is right - perhaps if @devel
reads this can shed more light - that Gnome Software, when a
search is ran and a match is found, then it's Flatpack (and
only Flatpack) showing up a the source.
One such app which Gnome wants to flatpack-install is OBS
studio, whereas OBS Studio RPM only available via DNF.
Does this not seem right to me, meaning that RPM should have
priority, when no choice is given in terms of the source by
Gnome Software.
many thanks, L

Changing user password upsets evolution, solution needed.
by XA
I am running Fed35 workstation (thus Gnome) using evolution for mail
I want to change the password for user (myself).
But I remember from a couple of years ago that this gave problems
with evolution and gnome-keyring: something like being prompted
on startup evolution for a password to unlock the login keyring and
that nothing I tried (after internet search) worked.
I "solved" the problem then by installing thunderbird which did
not have this problem and erasing evolution.
My question now is: how can I change the user password and
evade the problems caused by evolution, gnome-keyring, pam
whatever. That is how can I change everything needed in one go.
I do not even understand what is happening because I have
never needed to study the arcane mysteries of gnome-keyring/pam
etc. (and when I looked the docs I found were not very clear).
Can somebody refer me to a detailed schedule of what is actually
happening so I can understand it and work out the steps needed
myself. Or better yet give me the necessary instructions.
(I am getting too old for these kinds of things :))

Touchpad 2- & 3-finger gestures don't work on Wayland
by Ian Pilcher
Trying out Wayland on F35, and things are looking good, except that
multi-finger gestures (clicking and dragging) don't work properly in
Wayland. (They appear to be treated as their single-finger
equivalents.)
I've verified that they do still work on X11 (using KDE/Plasma in both
cases).
Is this a known limitation of Wayland?

Increase LiveCD / size
by Jell Bean
Hi
I frequently use LiveCD (on USB) to demonstrate Fedora. As an example, with 16GB RAM, the root directory (/dev/mapper/live-rw) is 74% full on booting. I am unable to install big software like GIMP and edit large photos. Hence, I like to increase its size, say by 1GB. Is this possible to do so live, without editing the LiveCD to create a new spin?

f35 initial impressions
by Tom Horsley
I installed fedora 35 on one machine using the dnf upgrade
process and on another machine from scratch followed by manual
configuration to copy previous install. Both seem to be
working well. The missing arduino stuff doesn't seem to be
used as I can still compile the Marlin firmware successfully
without it.
Had severe problems getting bind to work as my local LAN DNS
provider, every release seems to have brought more "deprecated"
messages, so I finally chucked it and switched to dnsmasq.
Clearly I should have done that long ago, it works great and
it vastly simpler to configure. Haven't found anything else
busted yet.

arduino gone?
by Tom Horsley
I noticed upgrading an old system that it wants to remove
all the arduino* rpms. Is arduino development gone in fedora 35?
Every once in a while I need to update the firmware in my
3D printer, do I need to keep around an old fedora 34
virtual machine for this?
