Long time after login on Fedora 38 KDE
by ogio.spam
Hi all,
I experience a long time after password to obtain the desktop ready.
Just to be clear, the problem is only with a user. Another user is not
showing this behaviour.
The good user is a new fresh user, the not working is a user with the
home directory copied from an old Fedora with KDE.
I worked on startup, removing all of them, but the problem is still
there.
There is a way to check what is appening after enter password?
Tnx

where to submit a bug against "xv"?
by home user
"xv" does not handle "webp" images. I do not see "xv" in the Redhat bugzilla menu of components. Where do I submit a bug against xv?

by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 37
simple-scan-42.5-1.fc37.x86_64
Any way to get Simple Scan to default to a
different printer? Right now it defaults
to "Print to LPR"
Many thanks,

Startup Problems
by Robert McBroom
F38 starts to a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner of
the screen. Does not respond to keyboard or mouse. The display manager
is supposed to be sddm. Editing the grub entry to start in single user
mode gets me to a terminal screen where I can login. startx begins but
fails to connect to the X server.
------------------
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O
(Operation not permitted)
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully
(0). Closing log file.
-----------------------
xinit brings up a terminal window where a lxsession will give a
graphical desktop. gnome and kde plasma fail to start. xfce gives a
desktop with no window bar on windows and mouse window operations Which
is not really usable.
]# systemctl get-default
graphical.target
Note: found "3" on the kernel commandline, which overrides the default unit.

verifying Fedora downloads
by Tim
Hi,
Having just downloaded a couple of F38 spins to try, I had a look at
the verify instructions (both identical) on
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/mate/download/
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/download/
------------------------ begin paste ------------------------
Verify your download
Verify your download for security and integrity using the proper
checksum file. If there is a good signature from one of the Fedora
keys, and the SHA256 checksum matches, then the download is valid.
Download the checksum file into the same directory as the image you downloaded.
Import Fedora's GPG key(s)
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here.
Verify the checksum file is valid
gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM
Verify the checksum matches
sha256sum -c Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM
If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!
--------------------- end paste ----------------------
The "download the checksum file" bit contians a link to download the
checksum with your browser. Fair enough, but since there were command
lines to copy and paste for the other two bits, I would have put a
command line to fetch the checksum, too.
And I wish that sha256sum command output was a bit more structured or
controllable, the blob it outputs isn't the easiest thing to read:
------------------------ begin paste ------------------------

--------------------- end paste ----------------------
I would have spaced that out better for humans to read, perhaps list
the non-existent files separately, or have an option to skip them.
Bizarrely, there is an option to say nothing about the OK files.

1st problem when installing f38
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I am following advices given in answering my previous post "issue...."
and I get f38 installer.
The installer complains that there is a duplicate UUID on some disks :
parts sde1 and sdf1
That's true! Running blkid gives:
/dev/sde1: UUID="4a28174a-f38b-4938-233f-85f76ce585a8"
UUID_SUB="88a5f939-72d4-b330-95e6-52fa0b826203" LABEL="dipankar:4"
TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="c257bd85-01"
^^^^^^^^^^^
/dev/sdf1: UUID="4a28174a-f38b-4938-233f-85f76ce585a8"
UUID_SUB="99b46805-aa31-1711-21dc-89cb7177d025" LABEL="dipankar:4"
TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="c257bd85-01"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
But it is not the only case and it does not complain for the other one:
/dev/sde2: UUID="5240f249-7feb-6832-6682-805f97c4abea"
UUID_SUB="0e21ab45-27a2-f588-48a9-cd46d0dc6237" LABEL="dipankar:5"
TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="c257bd85-02"
^^^^^^^^^^^
/dev/sdf2: UUID="5240f249-7feb-6832-6682-805f97c4abea"
UUID_SUB="5838df23-817e-f3cb-19f3-31da8d3e99d0" LABEL="dipankar:5"
TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="c257bd85-02"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
What does this mean? And what shall I do?
The installer suggests to unplug these disks (or at list one of these
disks) but, as you can see these disks are members of a raid array with
the swap, /var and a crypted partition (sde1 and sdf1) and /home (sde2
and sdf2)....
Is it possible to unplug one of the disks (say sdf) and make an install
with a raid1 in degraded mode (+lvm) then, when the install is finished,
to plug again the disk sdf and synchronise the partitions with mdadm?
Moreover, I don't understand why the problem occurs only with sde1 and
sdf1 and not with the other disks (sde2, sdf2 as already pointed) : I
have 6 disks, and more partitions, paired in pairs as raid members.
Thank you for lights.

Desktop scaling on 3 different Thinkpad X1
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
At each new Fedora release I have 3 thinkpads to 'upgrade'. In fact I do
fresh installs for those and have a list of steps to perfom so I don't
forget anything (list which I maintain and update at each release as
things do change over time).
Desktop scaling is always tricky and this time I only get it to work on
1 of those 3 Thinkpads. They are 3rd, 6th and 8th generation ones.
Currently it only works on the 8th gen one.
I type this:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
On 3rd gen I can only do 100% and 200% and on 6th gen I cannot even do
200% as it says there is some HW limitation message preventing to change
anything.
Any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue would be very welcome.
Thank you very much.
Fred
