The path to where I am now has been complicated, mainly because my nvidia hardware is 'legacy' and its 470xx driver has not claimed to support Wayland. Under Wayland all cpus max out, and keyboard/mouse are almost unusable. YMMV. dnf info plasma-workspace-x11 It's in the Fedora 'updates' repo. Thanks John. I hadn't thought about looking in the repo for that package, I was expecting it to be in the group package options. I'll install that even if for no other reason other reason than I have never liked Wayland. I use the 550 drivers so Wayland support is not an issue, I just don't like it. The other thing I didn't like with the F40 upgrade was in F39 I had dnf configured to retain 5 kernels, but the F40 upgrade reset that back to 3. My system has 450 MB /boot, space for only 2 kernels + rescue. I have a 50GB /boot so I have plenty of space for 5 kernels + any rescue kernels that exist. regards, Steve regards, Steve John P -- ___ 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 OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ___ 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

I believe that the policies and practices described here are for HP's inkjets. Their reputation definitely precedes them. HP's laser printers had a little bit bit rep. I've had much better luck, historically, with HP's laser printers than with other brands. The one I'm currently wrangling with is a laser. I keep reading good things said about Brother scanners/all-in-ones. Reading into details, it's always one of two things. It also involves a driver download, like hplip's modus operandi, and it's not really an out of the box solution. Alternatively, the alleged printer model is nowhere to be found in xsane's hardware database. So, it's basically pot luck: buy it, and hope that it works. Anyway, I think I managed to get this HP to work over Ethernet. With a direct USB connection xsane is still erroring out. But Ethernet seems to be working. But now they have. Take a look at: https://www.wired.com/story/hp-all-in-plan-printer-subscription-service/ Yes, and looks like they're starting to push this onto the laser printers too, as I see from the packaging and the marketing material on this laser. I have an Epson ET3700 All_in_one printer/scanner connected as a network device on my router via ethernet (it supports wifi but where it is situated it can see a wifi signal. I'm also using the 80211AX protocol on my router). Epson have a driver for the printer but I don't use it, I use the headerless driver from cups. I use simple document scanner for scanning and looking at the KDE Throbber I don't appear to have either Sane or Xsane installed on F39.

I have a recollection that the number of periods is a diagnostic indications what went wrong if grub fails to start for some reason. This changed to a "Welcome to grub" banner. So, it looks to me like years of regular grub updates, and countless Fedora releases, did not really end up updating …everything, on a BIOS system. If I can ask a silly question, given that on UEFI systems grub2-install is redundant, and the initial messages you were getting were indicating you are booting in a UEFI environment, why are you running grub2-install at all?

Stephen Morris:
As my system is a tri-boot between Windows 11, Fedora 39 and Ubuntu
22.04, and Windows doesn't seem to work properly with UEFI disabled,
I've gone down the path of signing the nvidia drivers under Fedora and
Ubuntu, using separate passwords as I found using the same password
causes thing to not work properly.
UEFI is a hardware interface (simplifying that description quite a lot)
between the PC's hardware, firmware, and the OS before it boots, and
the control screens it gives you for you to configure things. It's an
update on the similiar, but more primitive, thing done with the old
BIOS.
Secure boot is a *separate* thing (though probably only exists on
systems with UEFI). It's to do with only booting up from signed
binaries (to verify that only authentic things can run, blocking any
fake things that have snuck in).
A problem with Secure Boot is that there are real and genuine things
you may want to use that are not signed (such as some graphics card
drivers). One solution to that is to sign them yourself, with a
signature that you let things know that *you* trust.
("Signed" in these contexts is to do with cryptographic keys.)
Though again, it could be that Windows won't boot without secure boot
options set, not UEFI being disabled (not that I've seen a motherboard
where you could disable UEFI and go back to BIOS).
The current motherboard I have and the previous one both allow UEFI to
be disabled and they also both provide a means to turn off secure boot
as well.

Steve
That and the TPM
hardware that's touted as being more fantastic than it really is.
As a home user you may feel that this security is kinda pointless, as
no-one else is going to touch your PC and sneak things in. And
anything nasty that does get in is going to get in by your own
behaviour doing unwise things, for which you're going to ignore and
disable any warnings not to do it. To that degree, that's true. And
the same can be said about AntiVirus, SELinux, file permissions and
ownership. But where such security features can help, is when you
start to do something unwise without realising it, it blocks you, and
you properly investigate the reasons.

I originally installed F36 from a live DVD which installs a Gnome spin with gdm. I then installed KDE by doing a dnf group install of Plasma which still leaves GDM as the default Display Manager. I then upgraded to F38 via dnf system-upgrade and then to F39 via dnf system-upgrade, all of which leave gdm as the display manager.

The double entry that Libreoffice Writer shows is similar to the issue I get under Windows.

Even though the printer is set up this way the "Local" definition still outputs to the network printer anyway. regards, Steve Hi Steve, This is exactly what I was seeing. I did not realize that ~/.cups/lpoptions, and /etc/cups/lpoptions had to be set outside the WebUI (https://127.0.0.1:631). Confused the heck (not my "actual" word) out of me. The WebUI's default is server only. For what use, I can not fathom. To see what the Server's default is, check /etc/cups/printers.conf as root. su root -c "less /etc/cups/printers.conf | grep -i DefaultPrinter" I did a sudo cat /etc/cups/printers.conf and that has an entry for my printer only (no cups-pdf) and it does not have a DefaultPrinter entry, and my assumption is, as I only have one printer definition, by default that is the default printer. One other thing I noticed is if you go into cups in your browser via localhost:631 and go into the printer definition, in the "Administration" dropdown there is an entry to set the default printer but the entry says "Set the Server Default", so cups is actually telling you that the default printer set in cups is the server default. I suspect that when printing is done via cups, it is the cups server that is using the driver for the server defined printer on the server to do all the printer specific translations, rather than that being done on the client side (It has always been my interpretation that when using cups for printing that you are interfacing to a server and it is the server that is doing all the printing work, whereas if printing is being done via lpr then the environment where lpr is being invoked from is doing all the printing work). It has also always been my experience that if you set your printer up to use cups drivers, and cups is down for whatever reason, you can't do any printing. One thing that is interesting, if I use KDE's system settings to add a printer, and I select the Epson ET3700 Series network printer entry which uses IPP Anywhere, when I'm prompted for the driver I get offered two Epson categories (Epson and EPSON), the second category has the driverless driver and the first category has all the cups supplied drivers, of which there isn't one for the printer I have. I've had the printer for several years, but I guess it is still too new for cups to support. regards, Steve I reported the problem over on CUPS: CUPS UI (

OK, for whatever unknown reason, /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo had the 'enabled' flag set to 0. Setting it to 1 allowed dnf to update Chrome to version 118.0.5993.70--and the pink button is gone.

Thanks. After posting my last reply, this dawned on me: If the chrome-specific repo was disabled (as I had discovered), and I was only a couple of releases behind, then I must've been getting recent releases via the main Fedora repo(s) up until shortly before my original post. Sorry for the late response, I wasn't aware that google-chrome was in the fedora repositories, as the only way I've been able to get chrome was to installed the chrome specific repo. From the bug track above, there is an indication that the repo was disabled at a particular point in time, so you may have been getting updates from the chrome repo until the disabling happened. regards, Steve Regards. ___ 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 OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ 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

Somehow that now gets attached to send to a person instead of the list. Have to explicitly type in the list address. Is there a fix? Thunderbird keeps continually telling me it wants to compact the mails storage for what is a trivial amount of space, Is there a way to make it use a reasonable size to do the prompt? In Edit->Settings->General->Disk Space there is a check box to specify that you want folders compacted and the amount of space to be saved before compacting will happen. As a sub-entry to this there is a checkbox for specifying that you want to be prompted each time. I set the font size to small but it always reverts to medium, where would a permanent setting be located? Also in Edit->Settings->General->Fonts & Colours is a setting to specify the default font and the font size. I would assume this is what is used for plain text mails and is used for html mails if the html doesn't specify the font and size to use, or the font the html specifies doesn't exist on your system. Also in Edit->Settings->Composition->HTML Style is a specification for the font and font size for composing html mails. In my configuration it is set to "Variable Width" and "Medium". Based on this if someone sends a mail in html format with this setting then I assume that is how it will display regardless of what you have set in "Fonts & Colours". There is also a checkbox to specify that you want to use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default when composing a mail, I don't have this checked as I don't like "Paragraph Format" inserting a blank line when I hit "Enter" when writing an email. regards, Steve ___ users mailing list --users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email tousers-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 OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ 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

I have grub configured to build sub-menus for all the kernel entries as well as showing the latest kernel in the main menu, so that I have all the Fedora kernels and Ubuntu kernels in sub-menus. What I have now found is that if I open up a sub-menu, that is when the tpm error occurs, and since the grub update it is now producing an extra error telling me to load a kernel first (what I don't understand is that message seems to be coming from an I386 sub-folder but my environment is 64 bit, or does that mean that somehow or other grub has reverted to 32 bit?). I've also mentioned in another thread, that if when I get the tpm errors I edit the grub menu entry and change all occurrences of hd2 to hd0, even though it continues to display the tpm errors it successfully boots into F38.

I understand what you are asking, and it is certainly a conundrum, but I have no insight to offer. Maybe open a bugzilla against grub2. I don't think it is the problem, but the people who maintain grub2 probably have a good understanding of this part of the boot process, and might be able to point to the real culprit.

My experience with this is you don't have to, new kernel installs subsequent to the dnf-system-upgrade remove the oldest kernel relative to the install limit irrespective of whether that kernel is the for the current OS or the previous OS. For example, I have an install limit of 5, and I used dnf-system-upgrade to upgrade from F37 to F38, and currently I don't have any F37 kernels in /boot because the dnf installs of the F38 kernels auto-removed the F37 kernels each time. regards, Steve Jeff ___ 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 OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ 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

TPM Error on Warm Boot From F38
Hi, Since the last system update I have been getting TPM errors on every entry in my grub menu when I do a warm restart from F38, and this includes the menu entry for the kernel I used to boot into F38. I am getting multiple occurrences of the following message: error: ../../grub-core/commands/efi/tpm.c:150:unknown TPM error. I am also getting the message: error: ../../grub-core/net/net.c:1552:disk 'hd2,gpt7' not found. The second message doesn't make sense as that is the device that contains F38 that I had booted into before doing the restart, and the device I've booted into to send this email. I did do a bios firmware update about 6 weeks ago and had to update the efi keys so that I could boot into the nvidia drivers in F38, but I would have thought that if that was causing a problem it would have surfaced before now. When I get these errors, if I do a hard reset, by pressing the reset button on the front of the PC, then I can boot into any entry in the grub menu without issue. These errors prevent me from booting back into F38, Ubuntu and Windows. Can anyone suggest what I need to look at to try to determine why this error is occurring? regards, Steve OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ 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

Nvidia Driver Turned Off?

Please note the last two lines; one specifies the path to the font; the other is changed from GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" As you remember the value in the last line above is what I have in my grub file, and not 'gfxterm'. I suspect with your current setup you're making things more complicated than necessary. You already wrote that you have now readable fonts on the console on a running system - so maybe turning on verbose boot messages by removing "rghb quiet" plus disabling graphical boot by ordering "GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"" will help giving you decent readable boot messages. And I suspect that without setting up specific fonts in grub might trigger it to read '/etc/vconsole.conf' ... The IBM page above seems to instruct how to change boot parameters for the current boot only: "When you see the GRUB2 menu, you can edit the entry that you want to modify by selecting it and then pressing e." and thus - I think - not change your standard boot setup for the following bootups ... So this approach seems to give a nice environment to test boot parameters before writing them down permanently into grub files ... Good luck!

Some prior centos version did also have this error for a while, I never noticed any real issue with the programs reporting this. For the most part this is just some attempt at reporting a "leaked" file descriptor.I am not sure how one leaks a file descriptor as all file descriptors owned by a process disappear when the process goes away. They may simply be reporting file descriptors that are still "open" when the program exits (not properly closed), which so long as it is not a file you are writing to(and have an unsynced buffer in program ram still), then it is not an actual problem (it is likely somewhat poor coding practices). It likely means someone forgot to turn off some debugging options and also forgot to close some file that not closing it has no real impact on the program function.

I have it installed (the one from Fedora's preinstallation, not a different "daily" one), and can experiment with it, but I use Evolution. Out of all the email clients I've tried on Linux, it's the least-worst. Not the best recommendation, but that's how things evolved (pun intended) Hunting around, I managed to find an email with a misidentified PDF file attachment (as application/octet-stream). Though I couldn't find one with a blank space in the name. Evolution will open it when clicked on, just the same as a correctly identified one (as application/pdf), in my PDF reader. Or, perhaps I should say that my system (Mate spin of F36) does, Evolution has no obvious mimetype configuration options. I think Thunderbird is the same, I'm using KDE's application/pdf settings to specify Acrobat as the default. Every entry in Thunderbird's "Files & Attachments" table is set to "Always Prompt" (I don't remember whether this was a Thunderbird default or whether I changed them to that). Also, when clicking on an application/octet-stream pdf attachment, if I select other in the prompt, Acrobat does not appear in the list of applications that can be used to open the pdf. Interestingly, for both mimetypes, Chrome and Chromium both appear in the application list, Firefox doesn't because with the way it is installed I would have to add it manually if I wanted to. Thunderbird will open it when clicked on, within itself. Likewise for correctly identified ones. I only get open, save-as, detach, delete options, no open-with options, on the message reader. With the pdf options in Thunderbird set to "Always Prompt" I get a dialogue the shows "Open With", "Save File" and a check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.". The open with entry is a drop down list that contains "Adobe Reader 9 (default)", "Okular" and "Other". If I click on "Other" it displays a list of "Recommended Applications" which is all the application entries in the application/pdf mimetype list except for the snap installed Acrobat DC entry (it does this for both mimetypes even though the application/octet-stream list is empty in system settings, incidentally it has only done this for the application/octet-stream since installing the linux version of Acrobat Reader 9.5.5), and a button for "View All Applications" and a button for "Find New Applications". Interestingly, if having clicked on "Other" I then select "Cancel" it changes the displayed name in the drop down to "Okular" instead of "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" which was shown when the dialogue opened. regards, Steve If I go into the Thunderbird settings, and change PDF handling to an external reader, it works (correctly and incorrectly identified mimetyped files are opened externally). ___ 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

Tim: You can try setting it to pass the file to xdg-open, and then xdg-open will try opening the file in the right application for what the file is. See if that changes anything. Stephen Morris: To use xdg-open do I need to save the attachment first, or if not, when I am clicking on the attachment in the attachment bar at the bottom of the mail, to browse the attachment, how do I pass that into xdg-open? xdg-open is a file handler program. Hand it a file, and it'll decide what to do with it based on its own rules (determining the type of file, and the appropriate/preferred application to read it), making it a useful default to handle unknown (application/octet-stream) files from the mail. In your mailer, you'd set it (xdg-open) as the default program for such files, and/or any other files you'd like to palm off to it. So, instead of setting acrobat in the attachment preferences, you'd set xdg-open. Elsewhere, in xdg's settings, you'd tell it what your preferences are for handling PDF files. This stage of configuration, I don't remember the process. Your desktop "preferred applications" configurator may set them for you, or it might just set its own preferred applications. If your mail program "opens" the file, it'll send it to the application configured in your mail program. If you "save" a file, it just gets directly saved to your drive. The advantage of using xdg-open for application/octet-stream attachments is that if you receive a PDF sent that way, xdg-open should (could) use the right reader to view a PDF; if you get sent a JPEG as application/octet-stream, xdg-open should use an image viewer to view the JPEG. Likewise for any other file mis-sent as that generic binary description, it'd analyse the file and open it appropriately. The alternative is that people try setting a PDF reader as the application for application/octet-stream attachments, then things foul up when they receive something other that PDF sent that way. And they will receive various things misidentified that way. Ideally, you should never receive any of the common types of files misidentifed as that generic unknown binary mimetype, they've been known about for decades. I tend to save attached files and open the saved file, I'm not fond of directly opening attachments. I often find that doesn't work as straight-forwardly as you might wish. The attachments are being saved to a sub-folder of /tmp where the sub-folder name looks like it may have been named to reflect the pid of Thunderbird. I would expect any of your applications ought to be able to open any file saved in your name. There could be SELinux implications. Did it save the file with a .pdf suffix, too? It did save the file with a pdf extension, but I think the issue may be that snap has installed the Windows version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which runs through Wine, as there is no linux version of Acrobat DC, as Adobe stopped supporting Linux quite some time ago. A wild thought: Is it a filename with blank spaces in it? The attachment that is mimetype application/binary-octet does have embedded blanks in the attachment name, the attachment that is mimetype application/pdf doesn't have embedded blanks in the attachment name. That can foul things up. It's 2023, but some applications still have grief dealing with filenames with spaces in it. And there are so many people using computers who never learnt that it can be a problem. Interestingly, I registered Acrobat as the default application for mimetype application/pdf, so when I clicked on the application/pdf mimetype attachment the prompt asked me if I wanted to open it the default of Acrobat, but to check to location of the file I selected Okular instead. When I then opened the email that had the mimetype application/binary-octet attachment, when I clicked on the attachment the prompt asked me if I wanted to open the file in Okular even though it had Acrobat as the default. "What" has Acrobat set as the default? Thunderbird's setting for handling application/pdf or application/octet-stream? Your desktop's settings? Sorry, I had application/pdf set to Acrobat in KDE's system settings for application mimetypes. Interestingly with this, even though via the System Settings I only have application/pdf set to Acrobat as the default viewer, the system prompt still shows Acrobat as the default application even though it is not specified in the mimetype settings in KDE for the octet-stream. The fact that the prompt shows the "preferred" application as Okular after opening a pdf from Thunderbird in that application may be a feature of Thunderbird, but I'm not sure. In the Thunderbird settings for "Files & Attachments" I have "Portable Document Format (PDF)" set to "Always Prompt". Mimetyping works thus: W

When I click on the Drop Down in the prompt and select "Other" to display the pdf in something other than Ocular I am not shown Acrobat in the list, but if I look at "KDE System Settings->Applications->File Associations->application->pdf" Adobe Acrobat is shown as the third entry in the list of applications. If I move Adobe Acrobat to the top then the prompt from Thunderbird shows Adobe Acrobat as the default as expected. With the prompt now asking if I want to view the pdf in Acrobat, if I click on "OK" Acrobat is launched but produced the error "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". If I edit the pdf association entry for Acrobat and add "%U" into the empty Arguments text box, in the same way it is specified for the Ocular entry, Acrobat still produces the error message that it can't find the file. Has the snap process not installed Acrobat correctly, or is the file argument for Acrobat not "%U", or is there something else at play here? regards, Steve It seems as though the reason the attachment does not appear to be passed into Acrobat is the version that snap installs is the Windows version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I found on the net a methodology to install a 32-bit linux version of Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 into Fedora 33/34 which works for installing that version into F37. Even though with this install the mimetype association doesn't specify any arguments for the filename like the one for Okular does, both of the two mimetype attachments get passed into Acrobat for viewing quite happily. So now I can use the Acrobat Reader 9 association for accessing pdf attachments in emails and the Acrobat Reader DC app for saved pdf's if I need the extra functionality that it provides. regards, Steve ___ 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 ___ 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

So I'm not even sure at the moment if the snap implementation has been done properly or whether there is some other package that I'm missing. regards, Steve poc ___ 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 ___ 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

What I have found out is the mount point folder is permanent (which is normal) and if I try to unmount /var/lib/snapd/snap/netflix-web/1 the unmount fails saying it can't find the mount, presumably because it is not in /etc/fstab, but an unmount of /dev/loop8 proceeds in which case the mount point folder is empty (potentially which is also normal). Linking to the chrome widevinecrm.so file and parent folder in every place under ~/snap/netflix-web doesn't resolve the issue, so I guess now the only solution is to ignore the app and use one of the installed browsers where I know it does work. regards, Steve ___ 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 ___ 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

I have widevine already installed for Chrome, firefox and chromium, and can stream videos from the netflix web site in the browsers but I can't from the app. The app is isolated from all of those, so it doesn't matter that you have installed it outside the snap. The app inside the snap needs it. I'm trying to update /var/lib/snapd/snap/netflix-web to link to the widevine library but it appears from /etc/mtab that /var/lib/snapd/snap/netflix-web/1 (this is the current netflix-web folder) is mounted on /dev/loop8 as read-only (all attempted updates to this folder fail because it is a read-only filesystem). How do I resolve this? regards, Steve ___ 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 ___ 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

Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue with the snap netflix app could be and how I fix the issue? regards, Steve ___ 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

Are you saying that UEFI boots Fedora, and legacy boots Windows 10? If yes, you probably can't boot both vai grub (I'm sure someone with more expertise will chime in). Just use it for some testing of windows stuff, but it isn't supported to windows 11, since it has an I3 with 4th gen cpu, and looks like 11 requies an I3 with 8th gen. If your CPU supports it, why not convert Windows 10 to a VM? If not, and you have the Fedora=UEFI/Windows=legacy config, then to get Windows visible in GRUB you probably have to convert the Windows 10 install to UEFI. (FWIW I converted my Windows installs to VirtualBox years ago, and then more recently converted them to KVM. And after converting to KVM I converted them from BIOS to UEFI.) Well have to look into it. Was expecting the installation of Fedora to handle the adding of Fedora to the current boot setup. Don't recall it prompting for changing boot to UEFI from the existing Legacy that the Windows 10 on the Dell machine had. Bought the dell machine on ebay for about $150 with 8G ram and 1T drive just to have a windows machine around. Other 6 machines all Fedora. So, don't have any windows installation media. So, at precent the default boot on machine comes up with Fedora, and no offer of windows in UEFI manager. Have to use the F12 key, which then default to show the Legacy boot from drive that brings up the Windows 10 just fine. On my notebook, the grub menu has the Window 7 as a boot option from sda2. The Dell also is loading the windows from sda2 since sda1 is recovery partition. Has sda3 as a FAT16 partition that was created by install, since before disk only had sda1 and sda2. Just thought it would handle it, or at least give a message that install was converting system to UEFI boot, and old OS would not be a boot option under the UEFI.. Learn something new.. So, will have to see of others have other options.. Thanks for quick reply. If the Windows install is legacy then presumably windows was installed on the laptop by disabling UEFI in the bios (it seems as though it was active from what you are saying about the fedora install). What happens if you turn UEFI off in the bios, re-initialise the fedora partition and re-install fedora? Have you tried running grub2-mkconfig after booting into fedora for the first time to see if that sees the Windows partition? regards, Steve ++ Michael D.

I have a cifs mount and nfs mount in my /etc/fstab to the same network device that is not always accessible because of the power saving function in the device. In earlier versions of Fedora if the device was not accessible the boot process used to hang and I would have to boot into Windows (where I also had it mounted on a drive mapping) to get explorer to activate the device and then boot into Fedora to get a successful boot. So far I haven't had this issue occur, but this may be because I mount the nfs interface first, or because in the cifs definition I use the _netdev parameter which as I understand it is supposed to ignore the mount if the network device is unavailable. What I also haven't done yet is isolate the invalid parameter when I change the definition to use smb3 instead of cifs (smb3 supercedes cifs). regards, Steve I have cifs... vers=3.0, //192.168.1.XX/Public /mnt/nas1a cifs credentials=,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,vers=3.0,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 I have cifs... vers=1.0 because the nas device I am using it too old to support cifs version 3, as I understand it smb3 is version 3.0 or 3.1, but does support the vers=3.1.1 specification for Windows 10 or Windows 11. //192.168.1.12/Volume_1 /mnt/dlink cifs rw,_netdev,nofail,noatime,vers=1.0,credentials=/etc/dlinkcreds 0 0 I'm also interested in what environment the person in the bug report is using as in his cifs definition he had the USER parameter specified, as Fedora doesn't support that parameter for cifs mounts, and if you specify it the mount fails with the message "User mounts are not supported by cifs". I also have the _netdev parameter specified as that indicates the device is a network device and hence delays the mount until the network is available. The nofail parameter specifies to not produce errors if the device is unavailable, which may stop the hang if the device is not there. I also have mount entries for Windows 11 devices and for those I'm using the ntfs-3g driver rather than cifs or smb3.
