New kernel
by jarmo
Somethin went't wrong. Got updates of new kernel,
kernel-5.13.4-200.fc34.x86_64.
Now my HPlaptop won't start. I can write to loginwindow
asked passwd. After that everything hangs.
with kernel 5.12.15-300.fc34.x86_64 works. I have system in legacy
mode, no LVM no UEFI.
Only patitions there are /swap and / FS is EXT4...
An my wife's Toshiba Satellite, After I disabled /dev/zram0 from
system, because from boot.log I could see, that It tried to create
SWAP to /dev/zram0. That Toshiba has also partitions /swap and /
EXT4 no LVM no UEFI.
After disbling, it boots, but takes terrible time, "fedora sircle"
stops and takes long time to start XFCE4 VM.
Anybody had same?

SD card Timestamp
by Clifford Snow
Recently I've noticed that the file timestamp is 7 hours earlier than when
the file was created. This is happening on both an SD card I use in a
camera as well as my dashcam. Both the camera and the dashcam have been set
for the correct date and time. Neither gives me the option for entering the
timezone. It's not a big issue, but it's a hassle when looking for an image
or video taken around a particular time.
Looking at the Exif data on the dashcam video, it has recorded the correct
time to the exif data. But pulling up the sd card, the video time is 7
hours earlier.
Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Clifford

New fc33/FF 90.0/amazon.com issue
by Dave Ulrick
Starting the morning of 7/23/2021 around 8 AM Central US time, I started
to experience issues with many Web pages at amazon.com. Instead of the
desired page, a picture of a dog would appear with a message "Something
went wrong at our end" or "Sorry we couldn't find that page." The issue
appears most frequently when I click on the Cart icon or the Account and
Lists link. I can recreate this problem with two PCs running fc33 with
all available updates and Firefox 90.0. Prior to the onset of the issue,
amazon.com worked perfectly with these two PCs. The issue does not occur
when I visit amazon.com with fc33 and Chrome 92.0 (on one of the two PCs
that exhibit the issue with FF 90.0) or with Win10 and Firefox 90.0.2.
Anyone else seeing this issue?

Need help customising Thunar.
by Erik P. Olsen
Googling info on customising Thunar I find that you should click Edit in the menu which
should be very easy. However, my problem is that there is no menu when I launch Thunar,
so I guess the question is how do I get a menu in the Thunar window?

MongoDB Community edition

Hi,
Does anyone have any hints for installing MongoDB on Fedora 34? I updated from F33 and whilst it’s still working/running, I can’t update it.

Restart systemd service based on memory usage
by Richard Shaw
I have a Kiosk I'm trying out using Chromium, unfortunately it seems to
have a memory leak and crashes in less than 24 hours of usage.
I see systemD has an option for "MemoryMax" but was wondering if anyone has
actually used it?
Is it as simple as
MemoryMax=512M
OnFailure=Restart
or something like that?
Thanks,
Richard

resizing qemu image
by Robert Moskowitz
Things have been 'quiet' here, working away, but I need a bit of help....
I have a 10G Fedora image that is now too small. I need to grow it.
I have shutdown the image in VMM, and quite VMM.
I backed up the image, /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora21.qcow2 to a USB
drive.
Then I ran:
qemu-img resize fedora21.qcow2 +10G
and
qemu-img info fedora21.qcow2
image: fedora21.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 20 GiB (21474836480 bytes)
disk size: 10 GiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
compat: 1.1
lazy refcounts: true
refcount bits: 16
corrupt: false
That seems to be the easy part. But now the instructions I am finding
seem to offer different approachs, and might not be for running on
Fedora. What is the 'best' approach forward?
thanks

Scheduling sequential systemd tasks
by John W. Himpel
I would like to run a task (TASKA) that updates some files at a specified time each day. I already can do that
successfully using systemd timers and services.
Upon completion of TASKA, I want to run TASKB with is an rsync command to propagate any file changes made in TASK A to
other hosts. TASKA may run quickly or slowly, so I don't want to use a timer for TASKB, rather I want TASKB to execute
upon the completion of TASKA.
I can't seem to find the proper set of systemd options to set in the service file for TASKB to cause it to run upon
completion of TASKA.
Suggestions are welcome.

RSS usage higher on newer fedora releases higher for user-applications
compared to 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 release, what might be the reason?
by Anand Babu
So, We were trying to move to Fedora 33 from Centos7 for our jvm and then we found the memory consumption to be higher than Centos7.
we did the following:
Step :1 Narrow the problem with a simple c-code
#include<unistd.h>
int main()
{
pause();
return 0;
}
Running this c-program on Fedora 33 yields 660 KB . While on centos7, it only takes 348 KB,
Step 2:
Narrow down the kernel versions .
So, we tried testing different fedora VMs that we had and one of the VMs was running fedora 20. We were able to boot
1. kernel-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
2. kernel-3.17.4-200.fc20.x86_64
With kernel-3.11, pmap tells the RSS was only 388KB . Screenshot of pmap here: (https://ibb.co/D5zTXvs)
while on kernel-3.17 its 920KB (https://ibb.co/vLByKkD) .
From the pmap mappings, we see both the binaries are using the same glibc and ld.so etc. So, this seems like nothing has changed on the user-land while the RSS measurement has more than doubled.
Could somehow have an idea on what else could explain the reason for his memory increase? This seems like something has changed from the kernel side in terms of how RSS was measured or the defaults have changed?
Regards,
-Anand
