Machine won't finish booting after update

by Fulko Hew

I decided to log out and log back in to my X11 based KDE session just now, and I saw that 'Discover' was telling me I had updates available. So I said 'go ahead'. Eventually, it said I needed to reboot, so I did. After 4 (or 5) reboots that the machine drove itself through, the last reboot failed to start up to a GUI session. As a matter of fact, it dropped me down and told me it needed to enter an emergency boot and asked for my root password. The message also told me to look at 'journalctl -xb' After a few thousand lines of info, I saw nothing of significance other than it hadn't finished. The other suggestion was 'systemctl default'. That resulted in the following: Failed to mount /boot/efi Dependency failed for Local File System Dependency failed for Mark the need to relabel after reboot Failed to mount RPC File System Dependency failed for rpc-pipefs.target Dependency failed for RPC security service for NFS client and server Failed to start Load Kernel Modules Failed to mount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Failed to mount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Failed to mount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Failed to mount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Failed to mount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Failed to start Set Up Additional Binary Formats ... and then nothing. I had to cold start and that brings me back to the same issues. Trying to reboot a previous kernel doesn't even result in any boot messages. I now have a 'non-working' machine. Suggestions are welcome (and needed)! TIA Fulko

KDE and Gnome - best install to start with?

by Sbob

All; I have a new touchscreen laptop. I want to install both KDE and Gnome, I started with the Fedora 35 KDE spin and I will now add Gnome with: # dnf groupinstall gnome Is this the best method? Should I start with the default Fedora 35 install dvd and then install KDE? Does it matter / is there any difference in the results?

Problems with audio output

by Patrick O'Callaghan

Apologies for the vague subject line. The situation is as follows: I have an iRig2HD audio converter plugged into a USB socket, and am attempting to set up Guitarix (from the Fedora repo) as an effects tool for an electric guitar. Guitarix is designed to be used with the Jack audio platform, and F35 supplies a Pipewire alternative which seems to work correctly for input, i.e. I can see the input signal in the Guitarix monitor. I can also output to the PCs sound card, generate effects etc. However I can't produce output to the USB port, though the connected hardware is enabled and recognised. I get these errors in the journal: Jan 18 13:30:29 Bree pipewire[2535]: pw.node: (alsa_output.usb-IK_Multimedia_iRig_HD_2-00.analog-stereo-49) start node error -32: Broken pipe Jan 18 13:30:30 Bree pipewire[2535]: spa.alsa: front:3: snd_pcm_start: Broken pipe Jan 18 13:30:30 Bree pipewire[2535]: spa.audioadapter: 0x55f6abcba528: can't send command 2: Broken pipe This may be a permissions problem or something else. Any ideas? poc

sddm missing pieces

by Robert McBroom

With sddm as the display manager for a f35 system get a black screen with a mouse cursor but limited response to the keyboard. Can only switch to an alternate screen and then enter commands. Can use lightdm. Don't see anything wrong in sddm.conf. Is sddm tied to wayland and won't run in X11 ?

by Adrian Sevcenco

Hi! I have a weird problem with kdevelop: after upgrade to f35 kdevelop no longer finds pycodestyle.. in the terminal output i get: kdevelop.plugins.python.parser: Discarding parts of the code to be parsed because of previous errors IndentationError: unexpected indent (<kdev-editor-contents>, line 108) ---- Parsing FAILED ---- python code checker error: "The `pycodestyle` (previously `pep8`) module is not installed." but i have both: root@hal: ~ # rpm -qa | grep pycodestyle python3-pycodestyle-2.7.0-2.fc35.noarch and user side installation: pip3 freeze | grep pycodestyle pycodestyle==2.8.0 Does anyone have any idea what is going on? or encountered this? Thank you! Adrian

F35 - zram on auto install?

by Robert Moskowitz

With all this memory work I have been doing I finally noticed that free was reporting 24GB swap: # free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15625916 7018872 6765700 109108 1841344 8162532 Swap: 25165816 0 25165816 Thing is I only have 16GB in my swap partition: # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: WDC WDBNCE5000PN Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xa3fd40f9 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 2099199 2097152 1G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2099200 148899839 146800640 70G 83 Linux /dev/sda3 148899840 182454271 33554432 16G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 182454272 976773119 794318848 378.8G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 182456320 976773119 794316800 378.8G 83 Linux OK. What is happening. I remember Ed's comment about him using zram, so I did some digging and find: # swapon --show NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda3 partition 16G 0B -2 /dev/zram0 partition 8G 0B 100 Um, I did not know I set up zram? How did that happen. Is zram now part of the basic Fedora install? It has been a while my using zram. How do I disable it for now? With 16GB real memory and 16GB real swap partition, I want to see how things are working... thanks
