Fedora trashes my NTFS drive
by Lily White 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

Hi, I have a NTFS flashdrive. When I plug it into Fedora, it reads and writes normally. However, when plugged into M$ Windows, only an icon and a not-so-informative ``Removable media'' is shown. When I try to reformat it with Windows Disk Management, another not-so-informative error ``Windows cannot format the given drive'' is shown. I then filled it with zeroes with a Chinese partition management program (AoMei, if that is useful) and recreated NTFS on it. It worked on Windows. However, after a plug into Fedora it was ruined again: Fedora recognized it, but Windows did not. Results of `sudo fsck /dev/sdc1': ------------------------------------- fsck from util-linux 2.37.4 Unsupported: replay_log() Unsupported: check_volume() Checking 256 MFT records. Unsupported cases found. ntfsck was unable to run properly. ------------------------------------- So I ran `ntfsfix` on it and the following output was produced: -------------------------------------------------------- Mounting volume... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. Checking the alternate boot sector... OK NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/sdc1 was processed successfully. -------------------------------------------------------- A rerun of fsck produced identical output. *Note that the drive was usable on Fedora throughout the process.* Any idea what's behind this? ------ From LilyWhite with love

Should /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys* files exist on an installed system??
by Michael D. Setzer II 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

Noticed a number of lines in the message log that repeat this? Seems it is linked to the installation from a livesys flash? Wondering if there is a reason why they still exist, or if they should have been removed at some point?? systemd-sysv-generator[822960]: SysV service '/etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys-late' lacks a native systemd unit file. Automatically generating a unit file for compatibility. Please update package to include a native systemd unit file, in order to make it more safe and robust. systemd-sysv-generator[822960]: SysV service '/etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys' lacks a native systemd unit file.

Default browser
by Geoffrey Leach 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

New install of Fedora 35. Any time a link is opened -- say from a terminal -- Firefox is opened. The default browser is set in "Default Applications" to chrome. Is there another place where the default browser is set?

mesa_glthread & web browsers
by lejeczek 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

Hi guys. I wonder how many use mesa_glthread=true (https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Performance_impact_of_Mesa_glthread) and see any effects of it on web browsers. I cannot say it's 100% that var but web browsers - and I run quite few different ones concurrently - on my laptop hard crush often. In other words effect of it I think is negative on web browsers and I wonder if anybody did bit more playing with that. many thanks, L.

E.g., an application may have settings that can (be set to) override system settings.

fsck required?
by andreas.fournier＠runbox.com 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

I have a laptop that's been unused for about two months. Today I started it up and commenced a software update via Gnome Software. It downloaded everything fine and I rebooted the laptop. The harddisk is encrypted and after I entered the password for decryption it dropped into emergency mode. Now I was a bit distracted and doing other things at the same time so I don't actually remember if the software update was done or if it was about to start. Anyway so I have a laptop that only boots to emergency shell. There journalctl says that fsck failed with exit status 4 for /dev/mapper/fedora-root If I run fsck I only get back 'fsck from util-linux 2.37.4' Any advice how to rescue this laptop would be appreciated.

Upgraded system from regular SATA disk to SDD disk. Anything need to get best?
by Michael D. Setzer II 21 Apr '22

21 Apr '22

I had a Fedora 34 machine with a regular 1TB hard disk. Imaged it to a 1TB SDD disk and then removed regular disk. Did a reinstall of the kernel files, since wasn't sure if perhaps something would be modified. Just wondering if there are any other things that might take full advantage of the new disk.. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
