using e2fsck and un mounting
by Bill Cunningham
How do you mount fedora 36 so you can use e2fsck? I seem to have a
lot of filesystem problems, but no way to mount even with the network
installation USB. Booting creates errors in the system services. I was
mounted ro and was able to use
umount -o,remount,rw /dev/sda3 /
and remounted rw to save the root under '/' and not 'none' in fstab.
How do you set the filesystem to run e2fsck at reboot? That would be
excellent. Everything I have tried doesn't work.

Hi All,
Anyone know if Fedora 35+ will read Windows' new

Many thanks,

use a printer whose drivers do not exist ..
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I recently bought a pantum p2500 printer.
I was able to install it, and can use it from OS Windows (dual boot).
I use Fedora ..., and the drivers available for linux OS are for ubuntu
only .. (Pantum Ubuntu Driver V1.1.84-1).
I tried to do the installation using that driver but, after having
installed it , the printer regularly, the printing is not performed .
the message is given that the job is sent to the printer .. but the print
is not performed ..
I would like to have suggestions on how to print this Pantum 200 for which
drivers for fedora are not available ...
N.B. I had also thought about using Pantum 2500 as a network printer and
using it through Windows .. but I have doubts that it will work, because (I
think it is necessary that windows) is running or Linuz can call the print
server ..
I would like to get some help , in orderto do my printer could work on
fedora

F35 seems to have turned off my sound
by Michael Hennebry
Settings has a small x next to a speaker symbol
apparently indicating I've been muted.
I can move the volume indicator,
but it does not stick.
I have no sound.
After a google search, I tried:
[root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]# alsaunmute
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Analog Devices AD1884"
"HDA:11d41884,103c281e,00100100" "0x103c" "0x281e"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
[root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]# systemctl --user enable --now
wireplumber
Failed to connect to bus: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not
defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other
user)
[root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]#
I'm not actually sure whether the problem started with F35.
I'm not all that fond of videos on the computer,
but I'd like to have the sound that goes with.
Everything is plugged in, including power and the pale green plug.
If I click on test, I get a popup telling me to click on a speaker.
Huh?
How do I get sound?

how to change environment variable permanently
by Anil F Duggirala
hello,
I would like to change the $PATH environment variable permanently, to
be able to execute a program more quickly.
I have tried adding a new line: export PATH=$PATH:/my/path , to my
.bashrc .
When I log in again, I see that $PATH is now: $PATH:/my/path/:/my/path,
my directory has been appended twice.
I don't know exactly what the "export" command actually does, so I am
lost here.
thanks for your help.

Configuring a printer with DNS-SD
by Patrick O'Callaghan
(See ... for context)
I have a Brother All-in-one wireless laser printer/scanner which has
worked for years using the manufacturer's driver blob. I now want to
configure it using the printer-driver-brlaser package from the Fedora
repo.
I've uninstalled the original Brother driver and deleted the printer
config using the CUPS interface.
I then added a new printer using the KDE System Settings widget, and
attempted to print a test page. This appears to go through, but then
the queue status shows "Unable to locate printer".
I deleted that configuration and tried again using the CUPS web
interface. This shows up as:
dnssd://Brother%20DCP-7055W._ipp._tcp.local/
Printing a test page again shows "Unable to locate printer". This
happens both using the generic IPP driver and the specific model driver
from the RPM package.
The CUPS systemd service and AVAHI daemon are both running, as is
systemd-resolved, which handles DNS-SD (I reloaded the latter just in
case.)
I'm out of ideas. To repeat: both printing and scanning work correctly
with the manufacturer's driver, so it's not a hardware or connection
problem.
Any thoughts before I give up and revert to the binary blob?

After installing the package, 'flatpak remotes' still doesn't show

Re: hardware RAID1 NVMe card?

Asus makes the UltraQuad board. Asrock make the QuadUltra board.
Both hold 4 nvme drives and can raid.
Both use only one x16 slot.
You need a BIOS that can split your PCIE x16 into 4x4x4x4 for best
performance. That means at least a X299 or better chipset. The Asus (at
least) can boot from the raid array.
Both are priced just under $100 last time I looked.

As usual you need to know what you want to do, first.
All the major manufacturers have supported Linux for years. Generally
you only need an actual driver for a USB connected printer or scanner.
My advice is that you look for a used HP or Brother laser printer
(Craigslist/Kijiji). They last forever and are easily installed/handled
by CUPS. Get one with a built-in network card, or find one *really
cheap* and buy a network print server for $25-$30. The printer can be
put somewhere out of the way (same with wireless capability). You can
print directly from any computer or tablet or phone.
The HP and Brother laser printers "just work". The laser printers can
sit for weeks, using effectively no power but still available.
If you only want 'basic' service, you should about what you really need
and the footprint. I do not know how old my HP-1320 is, at least 20
years. It has a 14" square footprint. The HP-3055 MFD is "newer" at
maybe as recent as 2006 (although that could just be the last software
update date), much larger and obtrusive. I only keep it really for the
scanner since I lent my Brother ADS-1000 scanner to my brother and it
seems to have "disappeared" and cannot be found!
If you only need scanning to make the odd photocopy, you might find a
small standalone scanner will do the job. Much smaller footprint. The
Brother scanners need the two free linux drivers installed but the
website support is excellent. The ADS series are small, fast and good.
