Re: Fedora 40 - KeePass fails to run
Thanks. I just looked at the other versions to see how they differ. They are forks off the original. I prefer to stay with the main one. I did open a bug and they traced it to "Confirmed this is caused by zlib-ng migration.". I am not sure when it will get fixed. It is an inconvenience to me as all of my passwords are in the application. But my machine is dual boot. So I was able to copy my vault over to windows and retrieve my passwords there.

Fedora 40 - KeePass fails to run
Hi, Just an FYI that KeePass is failing to run on my recently upgraded Fedora 40 machine. I'm not sure of the correct place to report the issue.

I think if packagekit is updated, it may reenable in systemctl. I'm not positive about that. I narrowed the packages I am having issues with down to grub2-*. It is updating to version 2.06. I installed all other updates on Fedora 33 and the system booted. Then I installed 11 grub2-* packages and the system booted into the grub command line menu. Again this is a dual boot system that had windows 10 installed first. Fedora is reusing the /boot/efi partition that windows created. I don't think that it is an issue with the hard boot sector, boot sector being locked, or memory since when do a clean install of Fedora 33 from the install media, it boots normally. I have reinstalled about five times to isolate the issue.

automatic updates corrupting grub loader
Something is updating on my Fedora 33 system and destroying my grub loader on a dual boot system. I have reinstalled a couple times and even tried Fedora 34. Fedora 34 won't install giving an error about not being able to update the /boot/efi directory. Fedora 33 at least starts the first time until the updates run. The first boot I get the grub menu. The second time after updates, I get a grub command line screen. 1. Automatic updates keep installing before I can troubleshoot. The first time I login, I disable and stop packagekit. But either it already sets automatic updates on next boot, or something else is running updates on next boot which is killing the grub menu. 2. I am assuming the grub loader is getting replaced when a kernel is updated. The original Fedora 33 kernel installed with the install media works. But after the updates, it does not work. Any help on disabling the automatic updates and then troubleshooting the dual boot issue would be appreciated.
