Auto Mounting not Working Properly in F43
by Stephen Morris 24 Jan '26

24 Jan '26

Hi, Via the KDE System Settings I have specified that I want my 3 Windows partitions auto mounted at login and attach. When I login to KDE I get prompted once for my credentials and the prompting auto mounts Windows Drive C but Windows Drive D and Windows Drive E are not auto mounted. I can get Dolphin to auto mount them but I shouldn't have to, I also realise I could mount them through fstab, I just haven't gotten around to it again, nor have I gotten around to installing ntfs-3g yet. Is the auto mount functionality not set up to mount all specified partitions or is it just not working properly and needs to have a defect raised against it? regards,

dnf5: How to get a full list of packages with a column installed/available ...
by Dario Lesca 24 Jan '26

24 Jan '26

... and, optional, a column "repository", like, for example, a old dnf style, with symbol @ + repo? or a way to customize the output columns? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (Inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 42 Workstation)

how to play 4K ultraHD blu-ray movie.
by home user 23 Jan '26

23 Jan '26

(fedora-42; gnome) When I try to play a commercial 4K ultraHD blu-ray movie with VLC, it seems to just keep loading and loading; nothing shows up. I see no error messages. An archlinux page suggests that I need vlc-plugin-aribb24. dnf says I don't already have it, and can't find it to install it. I found a Fedora packages page for aribb24, but dnf says I already have it. How do I successfully play the movie? Relevant web pages: "https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray" "https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VLC_media_player#Media_does_not_load" "https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/aribb24/aribb24/fedora-42.html" (and its parent page)

DNF Color Location
by Stephen Morris 22 Jan '26

22 Jan '26

Hi, Where can I find the color scheme used to color the package display when you run "sudo dnf upgrade". These colors are not in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, in F43 they are different to what was used in F42, and what F43 is using is different to what the default colors specified when you issue the command "man dnf.conf", also "man dnf5.conf" shows the same default color scheme as "man dnf.conf". For example, "sudo dnf upgrade" shows the upgrade packages in "bold, green" which seems to match the default color for packages from a remote repository, whereas the default color I believe is "bold, blue" which is the default color for packages newer than installed packages, and the color of the packages being replaced is "bold, white" whereas the default color I believe is "dim, red" which is the default color for removed packages. In F42 "sudo dnf upgrade" showed kernels being removed as "dim, red" but in F43 they are being shown in "bold, green", none of these colors are in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, hence the question of where are they? regards,

SDDM Theme Missing a Module?
by Stephen Morris 22 Jan '26

22 Jan '26

Hi, I have installed several SDDM themes download from the net via KDE's System Settings->Colors and Themes, but with the first one I have tried use, the login display tells me to use another theme because the QtGraphicalEffects module is not installed, but when I issue the command "sudo dnf provides */QtGraphicalEffects" dnf gives me the name of several packages containing that module being qt5-qtgraphicaleffects-5.15.18-1.fc43.x86_64 : Qt5 - QtGraphicalEffects component Repo : updates Matched From : Filename : /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/QtGraphicalEffects mingw32-qt5-qtgraphicaleffects-5.15.17-2.fc43.noarch : Qt5 for Windows - QtGraphicalEffects component Repo : fedora Matched From : Filename : /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/qt5/qml/QtGraphicalEffects The first package dnf tells me is already installed and the second one I was able to install. After doing the install logging out to the SDDM login screen still tells me the QtGraphicalEffects module is not installed. Is this just that the theme in question is defective? regards,

I'm having trouble sleeping
by Neal Becker 21 Jan '26

21 Jan '26

I guess that's a common issue. Actually, though, it's my laptop. A lenovo x1 carbon which has been working on Fedora for several years now. Lately (last couple of weeks) it's not reliably sleeping. It used to be that 100% reliably I close the lid and within about 2-3 seconds the led is blinking indicating sleep. But now it is not reliable, sometimes the led stays solid for 5 sec while the laptop plays some noises (presumably from KDE) and maybe I open and close again and then it sleeps. But yesterday when I open again I'm greeted by black screen which is unresponsive, forcing me to force power off. The only thing I see in log suspicious is: Jan 20 13:27:26 nbecker0 kernel: x86/split lock detection: #AC: crashing the kernel on kernel split_locks and warnin> Jan 20 13:27:26 nbecker0 kernel: x86/tme: not enabled by BIOS Jan 20 13:27:26 nbecker0 kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64 root=UUID=483691> Jan 20 13:27:26 nbecker0 kernel: Linux version 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64 (mockbuild@8080fdb6b64b4ba893644b4a9d57398b) (> -- Boot fe0abc2f0da64259a51fc73cd0c4ff3c -- Any thoughts?

What does "four-way" multi-master replication mean?
by Denis 20 Jan '26

20 Jan '26

The 389-ds-base package description, as well as the 389ds architecture design (https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/architecture) mention that multimaster replication is "four-way." Can you explain what this means? And why four?

Is there a way to limit charging to 80-90% in Fedora?
by Ranjan Maitra 19 Jan '26

19 Jan '26

HI, I guess the Subject line states the question, but I have a bunch of Dell laptops and was wondering if it is possible to set the battery to charge up to 80 or 90%? I am on Fedora 42 but will graduate to Fedora 43 at the end of this month (have been traveling and I want to be home to try an upgrade). Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan
