I have a NAS to which I plan to copy those files.

I use Borgmatic, which runs nightly and has a config file for what I

Thank you very much. I was not aware of this application and will look

++, this.

Then, when you perform a system-upgrade and run `rpmconf -a`, you will
always get the maintainer's version of the file, and you will always
override to suit your taste.

Depends.

You cannot rely on just "rpm -qf ..." since that only queries the package
file list regardless of what the file contents are. And that includes
%ghost files which possibly don't exist. Also, it is not only a %ghost
file but also still marked as %config, and if it has been modified by you,
RPM package upgrades would handle it like a config file.

What is in your /etc/systemd/journald.conf file compared with the
default in /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf?

In that case I assume it was put there under F39. Seems very odd that
the upgrade just kept it in addition to the one in /usr/lib/systemd.

Like other /etc/**.conf.d/ directories in a systemd environment, it's optional, 
a

This is the correct answer. “Castor” is your systems host name.

Some home router/gateways will remember the hostname a system used as part of 
their network, and when handing out the same IP to a new host, re-uses the 
saved hostname.

I’ve never encountered one of these devices, but I’ve heard of windows systems 
and even phones can do this.

Set your preferred hostname either in GNOME Settings (or whatever DE’s 
settings) or with hostnamectl.

/etc/systemd/user.conf

It's a %ghost config file, which means it is marked as belonging to the
package (even if it doesn't exist in the directory), so it can be handled
appropriately on package removal/updates.

The default file has been moved to /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.

I'm 100% sure I've never touched this file, so it must have came as
part of the package.

Everything seems normal, I think they just did some kind of voodoo
to the rpm so it owns the file if it exists, but it doesn't actually
install a file because all the defaults are built in. I guess I just
have to create it myself if I want to change defaults.

It's there on my system, updated from F39:

# rpm -qf /etc/systemd/journald.conf
systemd-255.4-1.fc40.x86_64

It gets more confusing. If I do (in fedora 40) a

rpm -q --list systemd

/etc/systemd/journald.conf

Appears in the list of files owned by systemd, but
if I look in /etc/systemd on a fedora 40 image installed
directly from the workstation dvd image, that file
doesn't exist.

Will it pay attention to the settings if I create it?

I have a bunch of journal setting I normally change in

In fedora40 there doesn't appear to be such a file.

Thank you for that - and ISTR that you had posted something similar

I just tried playback of 1920x1080, and it was fine, but ffmpeg used 4

It's not clear to me whether you're trying to solve a video problem, an audio

Good luck with your audio. Getting Linux audio to me is inexplicable hocus 
pocus.


Thank you for the various diagnostic quotes from your system.  My main 
reason for posting was to provide info about settings that worked for 
me, because I find testing of systems that fail to boot frustrating.


I have removed xorg-x11-drv-nouveau from the dual-boot box, and applied 
today's upgrades.  It still seems to need "nomodeset" to boot to a 
working system, still 800x600 and only on the HDMI screen, with line-out 
audio.  Specifying "modesetting" starts well, with both screens active 
in text mode; but then it jumps to graphical memory images, and shortly 
after the cursor appears it, and then the whole system, freezes.
