Cannot Login to Fedora Forums Issue
by Robert Weir 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

I am having issues with knowing what exact URLs to use and also cannot get my SSO working for Fedora. https://lists.fedoraproject.org <--- is one address I have in my password manager. This does not work. https://id.fedoraproject.org/login/fas <---- is what I thought was a 'single sign on' SSO for all things Fedora . This no longer works. https://lists.fedoraproject.org <--- is the current website. How can I sort this out. Robert

Fw: mount fails for btrfs filesystem, need help please.
by George R Goffe 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hi, I started getting i/o error messages accessing this filesystem so I rebooted the system. This might have been the wrong thing to do. This subsequent boot went to maintenance mode due the filesystem's path being in /etc/fstab. I need some help with this please. Here is what mount says: mount /dev/sda6 /opt. kernel: BTRFS info (device sda6): flagging fs with big metadata feature kernel: BTRFS info (device sda6): disk space caching is enabled kernel: BTRFS info (device sda6): has skinny extents kernel: BTRFS error (device sda6): parent transid verify failed on 148312850432 wanted 73476 found 73484 kernel: BTRFS error (device sda6): failed to read block groups: -5 kernel: BTRFS error (device sda6): open_ctree failed

Interrogating BIOS from CLI? - dmidecode doesn't have the info
by Philip Rhoades 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

People, I have a fairly recent ASUS ROG motherboard that I want to interrogate from the CLI - specifically to see which SATA drives are hot-swappable but dmidecode does not supply that information - is there some way of getting the info without rebooting into the BIOS setup screen? I am running F36. Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

I've managed to mess up GNOME Boses & I don't know how to fix it.
by Scott Beamer 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Greetings, A few weeks back, I uninstalled GNOME Boxes via DNF and then installed the Flatpak version (because I wanted to run GNOME OS and that’s only possible with the Flatpak version of GNOME Boxes). Well GNOME OS was just too unstable to play around with, so I deleted it. Then I tried installing an Ubuntu guest and ran into problems (J don’t recall what they were anymore). So I started over from scratch. I deleted both OS images and uninstalled the GNOME Boxes Flatpak, then I reinstalled the rpm version via DNF. Well, my headaches have still continued since then. Now my problem is, that any guest defaults to a ridiculously high resolution making everything microscopic. It’s challenging, but I can usually go into the display settings in the guest and change the resolution to something sane (1920 x 1080 – same as the host). The thing is, I have to do this every time I boot into any guest in GNOME Boxes and it’s beyond annoying. Is there a configuration file I need to tweak somewhere? I’m assuming it’s a wonky QEMU setting, as there are limited options in GNOME Boxes. Thanks in advance. Scott

32 bit pam-libs?
by Tom Horsley 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

For a few days now, I've been getting update errors because (apparently) the 32 bit pam isn't yet in the repos even though the 64 bit version is newer: Problem 1: pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture - cannot install both pam-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 Problem 2: package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686 requires pam(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed - package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.i686 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - cannot install the best update candidate for package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686 Problem 3: problem with installed package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 - package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture - cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64 In the past these sorts of things have gone away if I waited a couple of days, but it has been doing this all week. Is a proper 32 bit pam going to land soon? I'm not sure why I currently have 32 bit pam installed, any drastic consequences for removing all the 32 bit pam packages? There certainly doesn't appear to be a vast number of packages dnf wants to remove if I say erase pam.i686 and pam-libs.i686.
