Upgrade to f37 left system in messed up state

I just upgraded from fedora 36 to 37. There were no errors reported but after the update I get: dnf list all Adobe Systems Incorporated 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00 Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'adobe-linux-x86_64': - Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml [Could not resolve host: linuxdownload.adobe.com] Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'adobe-linux-x86_64': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried Fedora 37 - x86_64 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00 Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'fedora': - Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-37&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'fedora': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-37&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] host mirrors.fedoraproject.org host: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libjemalloc.so.2 is found in /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/libjemalloc.so.2 I removed the Nessus package and it removed all these packages: Nessus-8.15.1-fc20.x86_64 bind-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.x86_64 bind-chroot-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.x86_64 bind-dnssec-utils-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.x86_64 bind-libs-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.x86_64 bind-license-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.noarch bind-utils-32:9.18.8-1.fc37.x86_64 freeipmi-1.6.10-1.fc37.x86_64 fstrm-0.6.1-5.fc37.x86_64 inxi-3.3.23-1.fc37.noarch ipmitool-1.8.18-26.fc37.x86_64 perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS-4.32-1.fc37.x86_64 perl-JSON-XS-1:4.03-8.fc37.x86_64 perl-Types-Serialiser-1.01-7.fc37.noarch perl-XML-Dumper-0.81-45.fc37.noarch perl-common-sense-3.7.5-10.fc37.x86_64 xrandr-1.5.1-5.fc37.x86_64 After this, running host cnn.com results in: host: error while loading shared libraries: libisc-9.18.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I got around the problem by specifying the hostname to ip address translation in /etc/hosts.

Widget / Panel messed up (icons?) - as the result of f36 -> f37 with third-party theme?
by lejeczek 27 Nov '22

27 Nov '22

Hi guys. I've been a user of "Materia" theme for long many years. I've just upgraded to f37 with Materia being the theme in use - I mentioned this in case this might be the key to - and now I see "crooked" icons in top-bar main widget - https://photouploads.com/image/MI0t Now I've changed back to default "Adwaita" theme and icons but still I get that drop-down menu/widget "broken" Would you know how if possible, to "reset" it to normal? How to fix it? many thanks, L.

Hi, I am getting the following error message displayed before the display of the grub boot menu, can someone explain to me what this means and why it is occurring in F37 when it was never produced in F36, and what I need to do to rectify it? error: ../../grub-core/kern/efi/sb.c:169:prohibited by secure boot policy regards, Steve

nvidia driver not loading after upgrade to f37 - solved
by Barry Scott 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

After upgrading I found that nvidia driver was not being used. nouveau-fallback.service was loading nouveau. The fix is to run depmod and reboot. I raised this ticket to track the problem I found. https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6497 Barry

qt6 and vtk
by Theodore Papadopoulo 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

Is there a way to use vtk and qt6 together in fedora (36 in my case) ? Currently vtk-qt.x86-64 links with qt5 libraries, so anything that links with one of the libraries it provides and qt6 is problematic (well I do not even pass the cmake configury step as cmake errors on the mix of Qt5 and Qt6 libraries). I understand that for now Qt5 and Qt6 are coexisting, but would there be a way to extend this coexistence to vtk-qt ?? This would definitely ease the migration path from Qt5 to Qt6. Thank's for any clue on how to achieve this (of course I can recompile vtk locally, but I'd like to avoid that if possible). Theo.

blocks of random characters spewed during boot?
by Tom Horsley 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

New f37 install. Turned off rhgb and quiet boot options. Now interspersed with the "normal" boot messages, I get blocks of strange gibberish characters spewed on the screen from time to time, like something just wrote a bunch of random binary data. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it sure is strange. Anyone looking at this, or is it too trivial to bother?

Something keeps creating Events.json in my home directory
by Matti Pulkkinen 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

Hello Something keeps creating a file, Events.json, in my home directory. It only ever contains an empty JSON array, but if I remove the file, something just creates it again. Has anyone seen this before? What program could be behind this? This only started happening after I installed Fedora 37 Workstation, and never happened to me before on Fedora 36. -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

Can't create msdos partition table without advanced partitioning?
by Tom Horsley 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Installing fedora 37 from workstation live iso to a virtual machine. I couldn't find any way to partition a blank disk with a msdos partition table without using the advanced manual partitioning. Did I miss something, or is that the way it works now?

To clarify the drive will not substitute a good block after a bad block read. As you say tools like spinrite have smart algorithms in them to recover data in spite of errors by looking at pattern in the raw data come from the disk after multiple reads of the same block. Relies on the error patten changing to gives clues to the bits that are probable right I recall. Barry
