Update of google chrome updated required manual removal of gpgkey?
by Michael D. Setzer II 14 Feb '26

14 Feb '26

Would not install update it found, and wasn't importing the new key? Had to rpm --erase --allmatches gpg-pubkey-d38b4796-570c8cd3 Then the dnf update prompted to install key and updated. Not sure why it wouldn't import new key without manually removeing it? +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

I need help recovering my SUB drive's boot
by ToddAndMargo 14 Feb '26

14 Feb '26

Hi All, My host computer, my Live USB drives, and my full USB install are all Fedora 43. The several Fedora Live USB drives will UEFI boot up perfectly on my host machine and inside qemu-kvm. My full install of Fedora 43 on my USB drive initially only booted on my host machine, but not on qemu-kvm. But has since stopped booting anywhere. My full USB drive is partitioned as follows: sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: StarTech M2-USB-C-NVME-SA (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 256GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 630MB 629MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot, esp 2 630MB 7031MB 6401MB ext4 bls_boot 3 7031MB 256GB 249GB ext4 Note that there is only one partition for both “/” and “/home” What I would like to accomplish, is to restore booting – both native and with qemu-kvm with the same ability to boot anywhere as my Live USB drives. And accomplish such without using chroot if possible. Please use /mnt2 as my mount directory. ChatGPT gave me this script that does not work. qemu-kvm gives grub gives qemu-kvm BdsDxe: no bootable options or device found What am I doing wrong?

dnf updates blocked by unrelated missing key
by Patrick O'Callaghan 14 Feb '26

14 Feb '26

I ran 'dnf upgrade' this morning and got a bunch of proposed upgrades, one of which failed due to a missing public key (it was Chrome). See separate thread. The odd thing is that *none* of the upgrades applied, even things completely unrelated to Chrome. When I re-ran the upgrade and added '-- exclude google-chrome-stable', then it all worked. This looks like a regression. IIRC in the past dnf would have installed everything that didn't depend on the failing item. Am I mistaken? poc

DNF5 Command Regression
by Stephen Morris 14 Feb '26

14 Feb '26

Hi, I've noticed with DNF5 the commands "grouplist" and "groupinstall" have been removed. I've seen package install instructions on the net to use those commands as being specific instructions for Fedora. Before DNF became DNF5 those two commands were available, I had used them several times. It seems that DNF5 has replaced those commands with "group list" and "group install". Is it possible to create aliases of those two commands within DNF5 or do I have to raise a formal defect for the regression? Just a silly question on raising defects, if one is raised what is the likelihood of it being fixed, does it have to go through a voting process like is required with the software I develop in with work? regards,

Suggestion

Could dnf5 indicate, along with the download count and before it asks "Is this OK?", whether there are kernel changes? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Mysterious DNF script messages
by Dave Close 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Lately, whenever I run "dnf upgrade" and there are packages to be installed or upgraded, my output includes these messages, typically several iterations of them. >>> Running sysusers scriptlet: systemd-0:258.4-1.fc43.x86_64 >>> Finished sysusers scriptlet: systemd-0:258.4-1.fc43.x86_64 >>> Scriptlet output: >>> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/inn.conf:3: Conflict with earlier configuration for user >>> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/slrn.conf:2: Conflict with earlier configuration for use The last two lines are exactly as shown. The evident truncation is in the DNF output, not this message. I've looked and I can't find any relevant older configuration files. (In fact, I haven't actually used inn or slrn for several years.) The versions installed are inn-2.7.3-4.fc43.x86_64 slrn-1.0.3a-20.fc43.x86_64 Presuming the messages indicate an actual problem, does anyone have an idea how to eliminate them? Should I just remove the packages? -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave(a)compata.com dhclose(a)alumni.caltech.edu "Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place.

DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 Version 20.3.1 Build 6 Support on Fedora Workstation 43
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Subject: DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 Version 20.3.1 Build 6 Support on Fedora Workstation 43 Good day from Singapore, According to Blackmagic Design Cloud official website, it mentioned that the minimum system requirements for Linux operating systems is Rocky Linux 8.6 or CentOS 7.3. Can I still install and use DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 non-linear video editing software (NLE) on Fedora Workstation 43 with full GPU hardware acceleration? Which NVIDIA GeForce RTX Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) should I buy? I want to use AI Magic Mask - Person mode for AI subject isolation / rotoscoping in 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 videos. My intention is to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to keep only the female model in the 4K video and remove everyone else (including their faces and bodies) from the 4K video. And of course the background will be removed as well unless I use 2 layers. But processing 2 layers with AI neural engine is extremely time consuming, which may take days. The entire audio track will be muted as well. My intention to use AI subject isolation / rotoscoping is to comply with European privacy laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As I am the poorest man in the whole world living in extreme poverty for the past 47 years of my life, I would like to purchase NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards using Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) like Atome or Grab PayLater with minimum of 3 monthly installments and up to 12 monthly installments. I bought my vivo X100 Pro 5G flagship Android phone on 19 Dec 2025 Friday using Grab PayLater with 4 monthly installments of SGD$153. My present entry level MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU with 4 GB VRAM (video RAM) is too cheap and could not handle the AI workflow and workload. DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 alone would cost SGD$408.75 inclusive of GST (one-time purchase life time perpetual license). I am now evaluating / trying out DaVinci Resolve Studio for SGD$42 per month using Cloud Rental License before committing to the full purchase of the video editing software. Another consideration would be Adobe After Effects with monthly USD$20 to USD$30 subscription. I am looking forward to your advice. Thank you very much.
