Nautilus search not working in F37
by Marco Sgobino 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing a bug with nautilus file manager in Fedora Workstation 37. In particular, the moment I type something in the search it suddenly hangs and never responds anymore. In order to use it again, I have to kill nautilus from the shell. It doesn't seem to be related on where I perform the search, nor on what I search. Launching nautilus from shell and running a search yields message ** Message: 08:15:39.744: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files and then hangs forever. This prevents me to run any search on nautilus. The bug is not always reproducible, as sometimes when I boot my machine the search works as expected. If this is a bug and not a mistake in configuration, can anyone help me file a bug report? Do you need more informations regarding my system? Which commands would you like me to run?

startx fails
by Geoffrey Leach 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

suspend failed to do its thing, so I powered-down. <rebooting failed, dropping me into the <root login. As far as I could tell from the log, startup correctly, but no X. Running startx as root gave me a display. However, running startx as a normal user, fails. So, I have the startx log, but its unclear what its telling me. Is there a "guide to interpretation of startx messages'"? Or suggestions as to what might have failed? Thanks.

FIXED: Fedora 36 pypolicyd-spf-2.9.3-1 Breaks Postfix SPF
by Tom Rivers 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Good morning, TL;DR If your Fedora 36 Postfix SPF configuration is broken due to the latest pypolicyd-spf update, install python3-authres and restart postfix to get it working again. I noticed when I updated my system this past weekend that SPF was no longer working after receiving a bounce message from another email address I use: Nov 13 14:20:47 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: connect from m474.em.secureserver.net[198.71.246.105] Nov 13 14:20:48 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: Anonymous TLS connection established from m474.em.secureserver.net[198.71.246.105]: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256/256 bits) key-exchange X25519 server-signature RSA-PSS (2048 bits) server-digest SHA256 Nov 13 14:20:48 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/policyd-spf while reading input attribute name Nov 13 14:20:49 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/policyd-spf while reading input attribute name Nov 13 14:20:49 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: warning: problem talking to server private/policyd-spf: Connection reset by peer Nov 13 14:20:49 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from m474.em.secureserver.net[198.71.246.105]: 451 4.3.5 <tom(a)impact-crater.com>: Recipient address rejected: Server configuration problem; from=<sp_31346.182956.1.27afaa92b3a8a24889fe74c219575e84(a)bounces.em.secureserver.net> to=<tom(a)impact-crater.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<m474.em.secureserver.net> Nov 13 14:20:49 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: using backwards-compatible default setting smtpd_relay_before_recipient_restrictions=no to reject recipient "tom(a)impact-crater.com" from client "m474.em.secureserver.net[198.71.246.105]" Nov 13 14:20:49 impact-crater postfix/smtpd[203195]: disconnect from m474.em.secureserver.net[198.71.246.105] ehlo=2 starttls=1 mail=1 rcpt=0/1 quit=1 commands=5/6 Running policyd-spf manually gave me the following output: [root@impact-crater ~]# /usr/libexec/postfix/policyd-spf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/libexec/postfix/policyd-spf", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('spf-engine==2.9.3', 'console_scripts', 'policyd-spf')()) File "/usr/libexec/postfix/policyd-spf", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point return next(matches).load() File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 171, in load module = import_module(match.group('module')) File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1050, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 992, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1050, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 883, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/spf_engine/__init__.py", line 54, in <module> import authres ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'authres' I discovered that installing python3-authres-1.2.0-12.fc36.noarch and restarting postfix seems to have fixed things: dnf install python3-authres postfix reload I hope this helps anyone else who ran into this.

Hi All; Anyone have any good guides for installing Fedora on a Surface Go 2 or a Surface Go 3? Is there a reason I should pick the 2 vs the 3? Thanks in advance

kvm and spice
by Ranbir 13 Nov '22

13 Nov '22

Hello Everyone, I discovered to day that Red Hat has deprecated SPICE in RHEL 9. I've been trying to get SPICE working on Fedora 36 host and I'm striking out: the GSSAPI authentication for it never works, but it works just fine for VNC. Is the SPICE protocol still supported in F36? I have the SPICE related RPMs installed and virt-manager still lets me choose SPICE as the display. However, considering I can't get the damn console to work without prompting me for a password, I'm starting to think something fundamental has been removed. I don't want to use VNC. It's slower, I can't use USB redirection and I don't get any sound. RDP is an option, but it's also inferior to SPICE. I'm sensing IBM's hands at play here... -- Ranbir

i915 Unstable
by Ken Smith 12 Nov '22

12 Nov '22

Hi everyone, I have a Dell Latitude 5480 laptop with a Fedora 36 install. It crashes regularly, uptime can sometimes be less that 5 mins but sometimes it lasts several hours. There is no trace at all in journalctl of its demise. It behaves like a machine with a memory issue. I've moved the memory from one slot to another and cleaned the connector. I've been using Redhat style systems for over 20 years and have known uptimes of several years. This laptop also boots Win10 and that install is stable. The machine passes Dells internal diagnostics. I'm travelling this week and don't have access to memtest86, but the Win10 memory test passes. Once I'm back home I can network boot it and run memtest86 and FC36 live - which will eliminate the ssd & its controller from the picture. . This machine has a KabbyLake processor (Intel Core i5-7200U 2.50GHz), 8G memory, an Intel i915 (HD Graphics 620) GPU and SSD storage. I've read on various forums that this combination of CPU/GPU can be problematic and some mentions that an upcoming Kernel release may contain a remedy for this. In addition to the FC36 standard kernel, I have tried a 6.0 kernel build and even the development 6.1 kernel from Rawhide's daily builds ( Beta for FC38 ) and its related firmware RPM. Also tried loading the 5.11 kernel from FC34. All with the same results. In fact the FC38 beta kernel only survives a few minutes even without the GUI. Is this hardware faulty, despite Win10 being stable? Does the Linux install stress the hardware in a way Win10 doesent. Should I hold on for a later kernel release with a fix. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'd value any insights. Many thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Moving to a new GPU
by Patrick O'Callaghan 12 Nov '22

I've replaced my ageing Nvidia card with a more recent and much faster AMD GPU. However when I boot the system, the default display still shows as the built-in Intel chip, even though AMD modules are loaded: $ sudo lsmod|grep -i amd amdgpu 10153984 1 iommu_v2 24576 1 amdgpu gpu_sched 49152 1 amdgpu drm_ttm_helper 16384 1 amdgpu drm_buddy 20480 2 amdgpu,i915 drm_display_helper 180224 2 amdgpu,i915 ttm 94208 3 amdgpu,drm_ttm_helper,i915 (Nvidia modules are not loaded). Inxi shows: $ inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel IvyBridge GT2 [HD Graphics 4000] driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: AMD Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] driver: amdgpu v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.20.14 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.3 driver: X: loaded: amdgpu,modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa dri: crocus gpu: i915 resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2) v: 4.2 Mesa 22.1.7 Switcherooctl shows both GPUs: $ switcherooctl list Device: 0 Name: Intel® HD Graphics 4000 Default: yes Environment: DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_00_02_0 Device: 1 Name: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I've used this successfully in the past to get PCI passthrough on Windows VMs for gaming. I haven't touched anything else. I tried unplugging the i915 and rebooting (after removing the HDMI switch and connecting the monitor directly), but simply got a blank screen (in fact three dots at the top left). Is there some grub magic I need to do? I assumed this would be automatic but it seems not. poc
