My USB camera quits after 10 seconds. How do I troubleshoot it or get help ?

by linux guy

I need to use Mobius 1 Action cameras in a project. When I connect these cameras to VLC or guvcview they play correctly for about 10 seconds and then freeze. They work properly in Windows 11. How do I troubleshoot this issue or get someone from the appropriate community to help me ? Thanks

booting with test_fs set

by Bill Cunningham

IDK why my system seems to hang when I set the test_fs option. tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/sda3 'exactly what I type' and reboot. Do I have a dirty system? e2fsck -yvf on an umounted partition seems to work. This system btw, was replaced by clonezilla. I needed to resize partitions and simply reformatted the filesystem. Everything seems to work great just this little hangup. I also tried removing the journal and replacing it, same thing. tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sda3 and e2fsck moves the journal into the journal inode, works fine; tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda3 and e2fsck works. But same booting results when the test_fs flag is set. I am grasping at straws there in adding and removing the journal. No change there though, doesn't seem to hurt anything. Maybe there's an error that e2fsck isn't reporting and I should ask it to dig deeper? IDK Does anyone have any ideas? Superblock problems? B

Request for testing: fail2ban 1.0.1 update

by Richard Shaw

I have disabled auto-stable based on time for the updates: I have submitted updates for f36 and up and EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=fail2ban I would like some sort of confirmation on the update itself or by direct communication that everything appears to be working properly. Fail2ban is somewhat fragile by nature and this is a big update. Updates for EPEL 7 & 8 will take a bit longer. Thanks, Richard

Getting Wifi 5 Ghz AC1200Mbs Wireless USB adapter to work on Fedora 35?

by Michael D. Setzer II

Just got a couple of these devices in. Plugged it into Fedora 35 machine, and was expecting it to be automatically detected and setup dmesg shows (plugged in one port than another). [191781.962170] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci [191782.092731] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b812, bcdDevice= 2.10 [191782.092746] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [191782.092753] usb 1-4: Product: USB3.0 802.11ac 1200M Adapter [191782.092759] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Realtek [191782.092764] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 123456 [192397.625679] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 4 [192424.141035] usb 8-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [192424.329596] usb 8-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b812, bcdDevice= 2.10 [192424.329609] usb 8-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [192424.329612] usb 8-1: Product: USB3.0 802.11ac 1200M Adapter [192424.329614] usb 8-1: Manufacturer: Realtek [192424.329616] usb 8-1: SerialNumber: 123456 The CD that came with it has a linux directory with 8811AUlinux RTL81888192EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519 RTL8814AU_Linux_v5.8.5.1_35583.20191029 But not sure which one applies to these devices. Recall an older 2.4Ghz RTL8169 (believe) usb I had and it also wouldn't work with the included driver. Had to download source, and build it. Every kernel upgrade required rebuilding it again and again. Sent message to seller, to try and get more info. Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

How do I build a custom kernel with modules signed.

by Sharpened Blade

I am building a kernel from the fedora `kernel.spec` file and SRPM. It works as good as the official kernel, but nothing in it is signed. I know that I can sign the kernel RPM package, but what about the kernel itself (for secure boot). The Fedora kernel is signed on a separate system, but I can not find any docs for it. I know that I cant use Fedora's keys, but what about signing it with my keys, then adding those keys to the shim. I am trying to make it so that a user starting on a fresh install can use the kernel by adding the public keys to the shim, then installing the kernel RPM. I also want the modules to be signed with my key (I don't care if it is the same key that used for the rest of the kernel). I do not mean signing the RPM packages, but the binaries that are installed from the RPM package. I also do not want to have to signed the installed binaries with a per install key locally. tl;dr: I want to make kernel RPM package that is exactly the same as the Fedora package, but I compile it, and it uses my signing keys. I also want to be able to distribute this in the same way as the Fedora package, but with the user adding the key to the shim.

VDQ : Ffx updates

by Beartooth

I run dnf clean all, followed by dnf upgrade, on all my machines, all on F36, daily. (I don't necessarily reboot, even if there's a kernel change. Should I?) Nevertheless, Firefox demands its own updates, including its own reboot, whensoever it damn pleases, and won't lift an electronic finger till it gets its way. Does this make some esoteric sense that I don't see? If not, how do I eliminate or take control of its irritating habit? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

mailman on Fedora

by Sjoerd Mullender

What's the deal with maintaining mailing lists on Fedora these days? For years I've used mailman (first mailman2, now mailman3) on Fedora to administer mailing lists. In mailman3, you also need postorius to provide a web interface to users and hyperkitty to provide mail archive support. On Fedora 35, mailman2 isn't available anymore, so that's when I switched to mailman3. The original Fedora 35 did not have postorius, but that became available later. Hyperkitty on the other hand is not available on fedora 35. I use an rpm that I built myself. On Fedora 36, mailman3 can be installed, but both postorius and hyperkitty (there it is in the repository) cannot. They both depend on a too old version of django. On Fedora 37 (I know, not released yet, so any complaints should go to the testing list) none of the packages can be installed since they all depend on python 3.10 and F37 will come with 3.11. The packages are actually the unmodified F36 packages. Do people use mailman3 on Fedora? If so, how? Should I invest time in getting it to work in a python virtual environment? And how would that work with SELinux? This very mailing list (users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org) is managed with mailman3, but does the system on which it runs run Fedora? -- Sjoerd Mullender
