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

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.

Suspend frequent failure - F35 with Xfce on Lenovo x140e

by Robert Moskowitz

Frequently, in the past few months, Suspend is failing. Video goes off, but fan keeps running and system state LED stays solid rather than blink (normal behavior in suspend). I have to hold down the power button until the system turns off and restart the system and restart all that I had running. And at times Suspend works just fine. The latest failure was this morning. Mostly when I get this, I can restart, then after all the apps auto reopen, I can then suspend. But not this time. It failed again. I had to cycle again, but this time I quit from Firefox, with all its open tasks, and things worked. Now here is what I got from the failure (from /var/log/messages) Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e NetworkManager[789]: <info> [1650289729.4955] device (wlp1s0): set-hw-addr: reset MAC address to D0:DF:9A:4A:99:17 (unmanage) Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Source 69.64.225.2 offline Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Source 171.66.97.126 offline Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Can't synchronise: no selectable sources Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Source 162.159.200.123 offline Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Source 171.66.97.126 offline Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Can't synchronise: no selectable sources Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e chronyd[730]: Source 162.159.200.123 offline Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e wpa_supplicant[860]: wlp1s0: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all Apr 18 09:48:49 lx140e systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.

I have no other information. But I am thinking, that MAYBE zram is involved with Firefox eating up all memory and swap is going to zram and then the failure? Right now I am seeing: [root@lx140e log]# free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15625528 3989228 9757812 29312 1878488 11271992 Swap: 25165816 0 25165816 [root@lx140e log]# zramctl NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT /dev/zram0 lzo-rle 8G 4K 80B 12K 4 [SWAP] But then I just resumed my system and have not done much of anything since that earlier boot. I will watch zram before suspending again, but I would like any thoughts on why this is happening? SIgh.

Why does Evolution source registry periodically search Secret Service?

by Alexander Zhang

Hello, I have KeePassXC set up as the Secret Service provider on my system. I have it configured to prompt me for the database password if a program tries to search Secret Service while the database is locked, and I've noticed that I occasionally get prompted for the password while not doing anything that should require Secret Service. I found this line in the logs that seems to indicate that a service called evolution-source-registry attempted to search Secret Service: Apr 15 19:43:15 fedora evolution-sourc[2546]: secret_monitor_scan_secrets_thread: Timeout was reached Is there a way to disable this? I have no GNOME Online Accounts set up. I tried stopping this service but that breaks GNOME Calendar. Best regards, Alexander Zhang

audio output devices no longer found

by doug.lindquist＠atlanticbb.net

I have a desktop pc where fedora can no longer find any output devices. This started last week. I can no longer get any sound through the speakers, bluettoth, or headphones. I am running Fedora 34 with 64gb memory. the cpu is amd ryzen 7 2700x. this ts the result of lspci -k 0a:00.3 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device a182 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel It looks like the kernel module is wrong. The sound works great when I boot to Windows. Any help would be appreciated. Doug Lindquist doug.lindquist(a)breezeline.net

SELinux prevents systemctl hibernate

by Alexander Zhang

Hello, I'm trying to enable hibernation to a swap file on Fedora 35. I've created a swapfile on a new BTRFS subvolume, added the resume dracut module, and set the kernel command line arguments. I've also added SYSTEMD_BYPASS_HIBERNATION_MEMORY_CHECK=1 to the environments of systemd-hibernate and systemd-logind since the swap size check is apparently incorrect for some reason. Currently, hibernating with echo platform > /sys/power/disk and echo disk > /sys/power/state works, but doing systemctl hibernate only locks and briefly turns off the screen. I found these lines in the logs, which seems to indicate that SELinux is causing the issue: Apr 15 23:16:14 fedora systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep. Apr 15 23:16:14 fedora systemd[1]: Starting Hibernate...
