Recent issue with hddtemp.
I recently noticed that `gkrellm` was not showing the temperatures for my drives (SATA SSD in my case). It turns out that the 6.10 kernel updates fixed something to spec that thus broke some stuff that was depending on a non-spec output that had been going on for some time. The kernel "regression" is shown here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/0bf3f2f0-0fc6-4ba5-a420-c0874ef82...@heusel.eu/ The symptom for hddtemp is that it will show "drive is sleeping" unless you give the -w switch to "wake up the drive". You would need to use that each time you query it. I guess the issue shows up in hdparm also and some other stuff. So they might back this out, but the proper fix should be to the stuff that is depending on non-spec output. Personally I am running the last 6.9 kernel and watching the updates that show up to see if a new kernel reverts this or if a new version of hdparm or hddtemp will fix it.

New kernel install had issues. (6.0.5-200.fc36.x86_64)
I do dnf upgrade any morning where something shows up as new. Today was the big kernel jump to 6.x kernel. Was not worried I guess since I just ran the update like normal and rebooted to it. Ended up at: error: ../../grub-core/kern/dl.c:429:symbol `grub_debug_is_enabled' not found. Entering rescue mode... gruub rescue> _ Booted to the F36 install media and did the rescue option. It found my system and setup my chroot. I simply ran: chroot /mnt/sysroot grub2-install /dev/sda (no errors) exit And rebooted to that. All seems great. Note that this is a very "old" system, having been dnf upgraded from F19 all the way to today. I notice that the grub menu looks a bit different, so it could be an issue of having an old grub on the disk that needed an update. Also note that I am pretty sure I have not rebooted since doing a disk clone from my laptop (not this system) where I mounted old and new laptop on this system and did a variety of dd, rsync, grub2-install, reset UUIDs, etc. If I accidentally touch my sda instead of the sdd and sde that I was working on then I might have created a bomb that went off at reboot. I don't *think* that happened but not 100% sure. Everything seems to be working, so I don't need any help, but wanted to report this just in case. -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
Fedora 35 using XFS as default for Network iso / XFCE?
Shortly after the release of Fedora 35 I downloaded: Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-35-1.2.iso I generally keep the current netinstall iso in case I might want to use it for repair and I also generally use it to create a VitrualBox install to show what a vanilla Xfce install looks like. I am taking defaults for the disk partitioning but I am switching to Xfce desktop. I have stated the install and it is currently downloading the packages. The interesting part is that I see that it has used XFS instead of BTRFS. Might this be expected? Might it be due to the netinstall being a bit out of date? Might it be due to XFCE desktop? -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Thomas has pointed to something to help get it fixed, but I wanted to make sure that people know that you should not disable it if you might later want to re-enable it. It is safer to set it to permissive instead. This allows you to run things that were being blocked but it lets selinux keep up to date and is less likely to end up with the sort of issue that you are having. -- Doug Herr fedoraproject@wombatz.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Unfortunately the cross over cable has not solved the issue. It works just the same as a straight cable in this situation. The NIC does say that it supports auto detection, which does seem to be working and not the core of this issue. > >> It would have been helpful to see what the output of ethtool is when > >> it's working, but when it's not working, try the following: > >> > >> ethtool -s enp5s0 mdix on > >> > >> Give it a few seconds, see if it comes on.

I'm somewhat surprised that it doesn't give an error, but maybe > by design it doesn't error on unsupported functions. An interesting note is that while testing with the cross over cable I ended up with it hardly working at all. The fix was `ethtool -s enp5s0 mdix on`. So it does seem that these commands were doing something after all. I did find a 1 Gig switch that has a low power draw, so I can either use that to fully fix the issue or I can use my "bounce it from the Pi side" icon after each reboot. -- Doug Herr fedoraproject@wombatz.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Using GParted? Since nobody has replied I will take a shot and people can correct if needed... Btrfs seems like a good choice since it improves data integrity and is now the default for fresh Fedora installs. Best to format with a partition instead of just using the file system on the "raw" /dev/sdX, so yes for that one I guess. You can use more than one partition if you want to segregate things for any reason, like backups etc. You might also like multiple partitions if it is a very large disk. GParted is a fine choice, but whatever works for you. I use Xfce so the Accessories / Disks GUI works fine but I do also have GParted installed. I am sort of old school so tend to just use the `fdisk` command line util, but that is rather old so maybe gdisk would be the better option now. -- Doug Herr fedoraproject@wombatz.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Turned off my rc.local line of `/sbin/ethtool -s enp5s0 wol g` 2. Powered off, did my "power drain" thing. 3. Booted, finding it working fine (as before). 4. Checked Wake on LAN and it was still on, hmmm... 5. Realized that it was being set by NetworkManager, the rc.local was only needed when I was using network *without* NetworkManager. 6. Set NetworkManager setting to off/default. Verified with `ethtool`. 7. Reboot. Still seeing the issue. P.S. I found a Belkin cable for $3.99. I like that name better, so ordered it.

Yup, this connection is static, so clearly not that issue. On my post Pi reboot test I started by powering off my computer, then "draining it" by turning off the power supply switch then hitting the power button which gives a click from the speaker. Only then do I turn the power supply back on and again hitting the power button to power up. Interestingly this *did* then find the NIC to work fine. Problem solved?, nope. I then rebooted to see the problem still there. This did allow me to test my new desktop icon to run an ssh over to the Pi (once I see WiFi up). The script (ssh pi 'sudo mii-tool --reset eth0') works fine. So I am done with this, I will just watch to see if something mysteriously fixes it eventually. But I will be happy to test anything else people might want me to try.

I did look thru my old cable box and found a D8CM and a GS8E so tried those. Not help. Not yet sure of the difference but maybe... D8CM = Cat6 GS8E = GigaSPEED XL But some good news, mostly... While testing on the Pi end I found out that I can get the card to light up (and work) by resetting from the Pi side. Not sure why I had not tried that before. Once the WiFi is up I can connect to the Pi that way and issue `sudo mii-tool --reset eth0`. This wakes up lights on the Pi and then quickly does the same on my host. I will need to write a script to run at boot time that waits for the WiFi to connect and then ssh over to wake up the Ethernet. Silly, but I just want to be able to stop doing the cable pull/push at reboot.

This will also help to flesh out what Ed was asking about... While up and working I added the switch in the middle. Worked fine, the connection came right back up once both hosts were plugged in. This also gave me better visibility to the state during boot (the Ed questions). While booting the 10M light was on and this is the light that remained on all the way to the grub menu. I did hold there to make sure it was stable and then set a timer to see how long before the lights go out once I hit to select the kernel. That was 8 seconds. But then comes the kicker... This time the link came back up (as it used to, working at 100M) and it was working fine by the time Xfce was up I was able to check. So this issue does not seem to effect my setup if passing thru a switch. I did/do still find ethtool to not want to do much: # ethtool --test enp5s0 Cannot test: Operation not supported # ethtool --reset enp5s0 all ETHTOOL_RESET 0x Cannot issue ETHTOOL_RESET: Operation not supported So the good news is that this presents a fully automated (no pull/push) fix. The bad news is that I would have to live with 24x7 power drain of the switch since I can't tell it to suspend with my host. I will check the power draw with my "KillaWatt". -- Doug Herr fedoraproject@wombatz.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

It does not seem random and it does not stop working while the OS is running except that it does not work after boot/reboot until the first unclip/pull/push.

A couple of times now I have rebooted to create the issue and then pounded on the interface with no luck. I then just unclip/pull/push the cord and it comes up like magic. After posting this I installed an old PCI ether card to get around the issue. The only trouble there is that the card does not seem to support "Wake on LAN" which is annoying but I think I can live with that. Another note that I should have included is that this *is* a very old box. It will be 12 years old sometime this year (October I think). And this is the onboard LAN, so maybe it *is* something physical.

Ethernet port "bounce" command?
I am having an odd problem with my ethernet port. I assume this came with a dnf update but that was some weeks ago so I can't help figure out what update might have done it. When first discovered I think I found that booting from an older kernel did not fix it. I assume that the physical interface is not the problem since a physical "bounce" always fixes it and it shows no other problems. To explain that... The trouble is that the ethernet port will not come out of the "no- carrier" state no matter how much I mess with the various commands that are supposed to effect it. The simple fix is to physically unplug and replug the cable. When it is not working (each reboot) there are not lights on. The physical "bounce" lights up the LEDs and it comes right up. So, I am asking for something to add to rc.local that does the same thing. I use a wifi adapter for my main/Internet connection. This port is just used for a wired link to my Raspberry Pi. The command that seems like it *should* work: sudo mii-tool --reset enp5s0 But that does not fix it.

Thanks for opening that bug. Note that my outbound e-mail was being blocked by this. I am using postfix for outbound and the smtp alerts were triggering for each outbound e-mail attempt and were just queuing up until I did "sudo setenforce 0". I verified that new outbound mail was sent after that and I also "pushed" the queue with "postqueue -f" and watched the log as it drained. I might just switch back to the regular setup so that I can have selinux enabled while waiting for the fix to this. -- Doug Herr fedoraproject@wombatz.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Not trying to give Ed a hard time, just want to make sure it is said... Only use "--nogpgcheck" if you have very good reason to believe that the rpm that you are getting is from a well trusted source and could not have been tampered with en route.

It has helped me. I had replied to this thread to note what worked for my DCP-L2550DW. Today I decided to test that for my VirtualBox F33 install. Well well, just as stated it acts like it prints and nothing happens. Selinux and Firewall did not report an issue. So I removed the Brother rpms with `dnf erase` and then used the above. The difference was that I did not plug in the USB, I finished up (on my Xfce4 vbox) with: Menu / Administration / Printer Settings Unlock Add Network Printer / Saw the Brother there Used recommended from there on This did work, the F33 VirtualBox host is printing just fine now.

I have been happily using Xfce4 for some time. I have been simply upgrading for a while but if I were going to reinstall I would go one of two routes... 1. Use the Netinstall image and select Xfce4. 2. Download the Xfce4 spin. I lean toward the Netinstall image since they are smaller.

Perhaps a simpler way to assure that it is running is to check a static
file that you place on the raid. If it is there then the raid is up. It
would show the file as long as it is running, even if it is degraded.
If you want to be sure that it is running non-degraded then maybe look
for "[UU]" in /proc/mdstat, assuming you just have a single RAID 1.

Long time reader (subscribed in 2015 after having read it quietly for a time). Not very frequent poster. I have been doing some reading at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org It is as if it is a totally different list compared to this list. I had not even heard of Silverblue until reading there. Seems like a good percentage of the contributors are using it. There are some questions that would fit right in here but mostly not. So I am either missing something or the user base of that list is not the same as here. Maybe we are all the old school and they are all new?

Before deleting the tests I happened to notice that my first "custom" install did not actually use the full available space on the two drives for the root partition. This seems to be due to selecting the size before setting it to raid0. The installer had topped out the size before I was able to tell it that it gets both drive partitions to use. The solution was to select 100G for the size of the "/" partition as a last step. It then simply set it to the full available space remaining. So that is a small "got ya" issue for the "Custom" option that the bivlet does not seem to suffer from. -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I have not done the actual install yet but I just did the setup using the bivlet thing. It was just a bit more "expert" but not much. It looks like it would be happy to build a degraded raid with just one device. Not sure if the base level "custom" would allow that. Otherwise it does look like this would work fine and it does seem to give you some more options. But personally I would suggest you just use the regular "custom" build to get it going since you are new to playing with raid. P.S. One thing I was surprised about is that the raids from my first test were not created with bitmaps. Maybe that is not as helpful for raid0. My experience is with raid1. -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Sorry, should have said. I did *not* use that mode since I have recent experience using the regular "custom" option. I had recently done the same test using raid1 so I was curious if 0 would also be allowed for all partitions. I can't even remember if I have checked out the bivlet thing yet so will give it a spin to see what it looks like. For the regular/custom it is just a simple pull down that selects raid levels among other options. -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

If you just want to get it installed so that you can play with it, then the installer can do the raid creation for you. I agree that there is value in learning to do it via mdadm before hand but that is really not required now.

I think they are simply suggesting the DNF upgrade option, which is shown here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade That page is currently showing instructions to upgrade to F27, which includes the line: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=27 So Matthew is noting that people have tested, and found it to work, if you run that "27" upgrade from an F25 system. You would simply follow the instructions just the same as somebody upgrading from F26 to F27. I run MD raid without using LVM, but note that the upgrade is not making changes to how the system is installed. It is really just doing a bunch of DNF upgrades to individual packages. It *is* a major change in that every package gets updated. That said, there are upgrades that introduce major changes. As systemd was being introduced there were upgrades that were more scary than normal. If the F25 to F26 transition is doing something to change how RAID+LVM is handled then hopefully somebody will jump in and give you a warning. As to the question of what to backup... Backup up your user date only if you know that you can redo all the config options if you are forced to fully reinstall. Backup everything if you want to make 100% sure that you save a copy of every little file that might have some change in it that you might want to look at later. -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

I have not used LVM for any of my personal systems and it has been years since I worked as a sysadmin on anything with LVM, but since you have not gotten a reply yet I just checked out some of the VirtualBox tests that I created using the Fedora 26 netinstall cd images. It looks like I have one that does include /boot living on LVM. I also fired up that virtual machine with the netinstall boot cd and checked out what it would do on a default install and it did not set the /boot partition to be LVM but it let me use the pull down to switch it over to LVM for /boot.

My mdadm.conf uses /dev/md1 for "boot" and I have a "name" directive in it and my /dev/md/ links were not being created either, so I simply added a line (as shown below) to rc.local to created them each boot if they were not being created. I figure that if something changes that fixes this oddity then it does not matter since I am using `if` to check and to only create the link if it is not already there. # sample line, remember that it should not be wrapped: if [ -b /dev/md1 ] ; then if [ ! -L /dev/md/boot ]; then /bin/ln -s /dev/md1 /dev/md/boot ; fi ; fi -- Doug H. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

A couple of days ago you were advised to enable "akmods- shutdown.service". I stopped using that one since I noticed a "stop job" slowdown with it.

While waiting for a bug fix, you might try setting up a post hybernate action. I use suspend, but I found the below "fix" to work most of the time to the need to hit the need for hitting a key to wake my monitor after resuming from suspend. You would clearly need to change it for your usage: Command line to exit screen saver: xscreensaver-command -deactivate Added to new file: cat /etc/systemd/system/post-suspend.service [Unit] Descrip tion=Run post-suspend After=suspend.target #After=hibernate.target #After= hybrid-sleep.target [Service] #ExecStart=/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate ExecStart=/bin/su - user -c "/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate" [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target #WantedBy=hibernate.target #WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target > Many thanks and best wishes, > Ranjan > > PS: As an aside, one of the parameters in: /etc/default/grub, I have > GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" -- I also tried with > GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false" but there was no visible effect.

If my personal note about that is correct, then here is what that is about: # Setting GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY to "false" will enable the single user # mode / recovery entries. The trouble is that the dnf auto install # of new kernels does not use it so I would have to run # `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` after each kernel update. # I don't think it is worth bothering with.

I was able to get that message when I created a reply to this group. I then moved over to my inbox to create a new message and was able to sign it. The trouble for me was clear from the error since I use a non standard e-mail for this list and that was not in my GPG settings.

A 29K e-mail (20K of body text) is too long in this millennium? I am happy to adhere to group standards but note that you did not give anything to quantify "too long".

Searching with "cpio digest mismatch rpm" found: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064588 It suggests that you could get around it with: rpm -i --nofiledigest name.rpm So my guess is that there is a digest file that is being checked by default in fedora but not checked on centos. -- Doug H. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
