by Stephen Morris 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

Hi, I randomly have an issue where having logged in to KDE from SDDM, the KDE desktop with icons displays for a little while, and then it shuts down to the SDDM login screen again. What do I look at to determine why? regards, Steve

CentOS - what to use now that CentOS 7 is EOL
by Max Pyziur 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

Greetings, My personal setup is three Fedora machines (two laptops), a Windows 10 laptop, and an older desktop used for backup/storage. The last has been running a variant of CentOS for the longest time; backup is done hourly on the Fedora machines using rsync. CentOS 7 went EOL in June. To that end, what does the Fedora community recommend as a replacement/alternative? For the backup machine, I'm of mind to upgrade to large capacity SSDs (probably should have done so a while ago); but that's tangential. Thank you for any and all advice. Max pyz(a)brama.com

USB-Problems on Fedora 40
by Anca Tibor Attila 02 Nov '24

02 Nov '24

Hello, I searched a bit around, but didn't find anything similar (tried to find somethin in bugzilla...). On my machine (Thinkpad E485), running Fedora 40 with all latest updates (Kernel 6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64) usb ports stopped working. On boot my external Harddrive (connected through a hub) starts working, but when I reach the GNOME login screen, everything USB related device stops. The funny thing is, my phone still charges. But the hardrive disappears from the system, the usb-mouse isn't working (trackpoint does), lsusb gives a funny short list. I now booted the previous kernel, everything works fine. Anyone else noticing this? Thanks -- Tibor I use Open Source Software!

caching name server and 127.0.0.53
by ToddAndMargo 02 Nov '24

02 Nov '24

Hi All, Fedora 39 I am running a caching named server (named-chroot). It is listening on 127.0.0.1. The WAN IP address comes from the DHCP on my DSL modem. Problem: the accursed systemd-resolved changes /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver 127.0.0.1 search . to nameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns0 trust-ad search . Meaning no DNS resolution until I vi resolv.conf every time I boot up, which is what my web searches tell me to do. <editorial comment> AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! </editorial comment> How do I tell systemd-resolved to stop this annoying behavior. -T "options edns0 trust-ad" seems like a good thing .

Well, I am back on 39
by ToddAndMargo 02 Nov '24

02 Nov '24

Hi All, I had to give up on 40 and go back to 39. I could not print on my Brother HL-L2300D. The light would flash and nothing. And I did install Brother's linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.4-1.gz driver. So I fired up a Xfce Live USB and configured the printer. Same symptom. This time it was not my local install causing the problem. I have to print, so I recovered to 39. And I got back my xinit/lightdm problem in 39 too. Turns out the problem is something in my profile. I will find it! <Maniacal laughter> So it looks like I am stuck on 39 until I can get my printer to print on a 41 live usb. Thank you all for all your patience and help! -T

how to fsck at boot?
by ToddAndMargo 02 Nov '24

02 Nov '24

Hi All, Recovering to fc39, restore gave me a bunch of restore:<name unknown>: ftruncate: Bad file descrition errors. Turned out something was corrupt in my Thunderbird directories. (SMART errors = 0.) So I wanted to do an fsck on my partition. # fsck / -f fsck from util-linux 2.39.4 e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) /dev/mapper/luks-903bc691-a0f0-42bc-aa96-4233a7edc0e9 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting. As you can see above "/" is an encrypted partition. Looking at my notes, I use to be able to # touch /forcefsck And fsck would check all my partition at book. Not anymore. Searching brought me a bunch of confusion and program edits and changes. What replaced "touch /forcefsck"? Yours in confusion, -T

HI, Following Patrick's thread about dnf tracer plugin I installed that plugin again and got the following strange message that I have never seen before: >> Running trigger-install scriptlet: glibc-common-0:2.40-3.fc41.x86_64warning: posix.fork(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.spawn() or rpm.execute() instead Isanother example, like with grub2-mkconfig (which seems to have been rectified if F41) with the application not having been updated in line with system changes? regards, Steve

Fedora 41 - Postgresql Problem
by Max Pyziur 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

Greetings, I have three machines running Fedora, one just completed the update. Generally, no problems updating. But I noticed there was deprecation of postgresql, and when I went to review/work on one of my databases via cli I received the following message: pyz@pegasus ~> psql commodities WARNING: database "commodities" has a collation version mismatch DETAIL: The database was created using collation version 2.39, but the operating system provides version 2.40. HINT: Rebuild all objects in this database that use the default collation and run ALTER DATABASE commodities REFRESH COLLATION VERSION, or build PostgreSQL with the right library version. psql (16.3) Type "help" for help. commodities=# Generally in the past when there has been a major upgrade, then the procedure was to rebuild databases from backup. In this case, the issue seems to be a bit more nuanced. Any and all suggestions on how to proceed are welcome. Thank you, Max pyz(a)brama.com mailto:pyz@brama.com
