EFI
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Is there not something wrong with this
When /boot/efi is ot mounted:
ls /boot/efi/
EFI
while in the fstab
UUID=A686-D625 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt,nofail 0 2
Indeed, I really have the mount the of /boot/efi during the boot
and of course
ls /boot/efi/
is empty
Should I keep the vfat partition /boot/efi ? and move the EFI in /boot/efi
or just unmount this partition ?
Thank.

bash: ./WINPM-32.EXE: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
by Michael D. Setzer II
Use to be able to run command without added wine to
front??
With Fedora 35 up to 7.10 worked fine, but 7.12 verion
would cuase a spinning icon when opening email
message. No error or anything showing in top or ps -ef.
Did a dnf downgrade wine, and it downgraded to 6.16
version and problem went away, but all attempt to get
back to 7.10 would only show upgrading to 7.12..
Then tried installing winehq-devel from their Fedora 35
repo. It installs 7.13 and it doesn't have the issue with
spinning icon, but it has two minor differences.
1. Running programs from command line without wine
doesn't work. Must put wine in front? Assume Fedora
version must add something to wine installation that
allows this. Haven't found anything to see how this is
done. Have the default app set to use wine, but doesn't
work from command line.
2. Other issue is that scroll bar doesn't work?? Scroll
wheel on mouse works fine, but clicking on bar arrows
does nothing, and dragging bar does nothing as well.
With the Fedora 7.12 version the scroll bar does work?
Posted on WINEHQ forums, but no response yet on
issues. Think running at bash would be something that
Fedora added??
Thanks.

Are there typical ways Fedora tends to break? part 2
by Chris Murphy
OK thanks for the responses so far. I have followup questions for everyone, even if you didn't previously respond.
Do you think a graphical rescue environment would be helpful in troubleshooting system problems?
Do you think a graphical rescue environment using volatile storage, would be useful? i.e. similar to a Live boot, by default no changes to the system or Live user environment would be written to persistent media; e.g. Firefox cache files and history, or even installing software, would be entirely lost on reboot from this graphical rescue environment
Do you think a mechanism for system snapshots and rollbacks would be useful in troubleshooting system problems?
Do you think a snapshot+rollback mechanism would be more or less useful than a graphical rescue environment, for troubleshooting system problems?
Thanks!

rescue kernel
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
In the past I could regenerate a rescue kernel by using
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/51-dracut-rescue-postinst.sh
But now, this script does not exist any more
What is the alternative to restore the /boot/*rescue* files?
Thank

Monitor speakers change which "device" they are
by Chris Adams
I have a notebook (AMD chips) connected to a hub (via USB-C), with two
monitors hooked up to the hub (via HDMI). The monitors have built-in
speakers, and I use one monitor's speakers for default audio. I'm
running Fedora 35 MATE desktop (with Pipewire). The problem is that
which monitor's speakers are which flips around.
Right now, the main monitor is "Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio
Controller HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output" and the second monitor is
"<same> 4 Output". After a suspend/resume cycle though, they randomly
swap, so I have to go into Sound Preferences and change the default
output device.
The video side always keeps the correct monitor mapped as the correct
part of the display layout, so it seems either there's a unique ID or
something that keeps them in the right order. Is there something
similar to keep it right for audio?

sound device changed on me?
by Tom Horsley
I was changing some udev rules last night and ran "udevadm trigger"
(which I found on the internet to avoid a reboot).
This morning trying to watch a video, I had no sound. For some reason
my sound output had been set to SPDIF rather than the HDMI I always
had it set to.
Was that a "trigger" side effect, or is something more mysterious going
on (I haven't installed any updates or rebooted).

anyone using kernel 5.19-rc7 ?
by old sixpack13
is anyone already using kernel 5.19-rc7 ?
if so:
are you also seeing higher idle CPU frequency compared to 5.18.xyz ?
on my Intel i5-11400 (freq. range 800-4400 MHz) I see idle freq.:
- with kernel 5.18: ~800 MHz
- with kernel 5.19: ~2600 MHz (what is the base freq.)
watch -n1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_cur_freq

are there typical ways Fedora tends to break?
by Chris Murphy
Hi,
I have a request for list regulars.
The Fedora Workstation working group is curious if there's any pattern
or categorization how Fedora installations typically break. i.e. the
installation is successful, the system has been updated multiple times
successfully, and then for whatever reason it breaks.
Are most failures hardware related? This could be broken down into
hard failure (drive or logic board failed) and soft failure (some
hardware configuration change and reverting the change resolves the
problem).
What portion of the failures are early boot failures? (Defined as
bootloader, kernel, or early initramfs failures. But excludes being
landed at a dracut prompt.)
What portion of the failures land the user at a dracut shell?
What portion of the failures does the user get to a graphical shell
but can't login?
What portion of the failures can the user login but there's some sort
of anomalous behavior?
What portion of all failures are fixable without reinstalling?
Is the GRUB "rescue" menu entry ever useful in resolving problems?
Could everyone reading this try booting the "rescue" menu entry and
describe what happens? How does the actual behavior compare to what
you thought would happen?
The questions list is not complete, feel free to add your own
categorizations / failure patterns that you tend to see.
Thanks!
