Long wait for start job
Just did a new installation of the basic fedora 34 desktop the one which provides a bunch of basic window managers using a netinstall iso. The boot is interrupted for a longtime (2 minutes) while a start job runs for wait for udev to complete initialization. The timeout is three minutes and it almost reaches that point before continuing. I have looked through the syslogs but the only obvious problem is a core dump by alsa control which I don't understand because prior to this running Fedora 33 nothing similar happened.

Grub peculiarities
I run several distros on my SSD (/dev/sda) including Debian Bullseye, and Fedora 33. When Grub is installed in Debian, the startup cfg file generated by Debian lists the kernel versions in reverse order, with the rescue kernel first. Fedora lists the kernels in all versions properly. Several months ago I filed a bug on the Debian bug tracker but nothing was ever done about the problem. My question is this: If Fedora can list everything properly, what is the difference between how Grub is setup on Fedora and how it's setup on Debian. Is there something in the config files which determines what order kernels are listed in ? ___ 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

Nothing in all the logs I could read, but .xsession-errors had an entry reading something like "environment could not be loaded". I have since deleted that user, and created another which works fine. The only difference was allowing the GUI to create a user group the same as the user name. The user was named guest, and it created a group called guest and made the user part of it. I checked the new users directory after logging in with my regular account, and there are just a few sub directories but I noticed that there was no /Desktop. no /Pictures etc. Those are created by the desktop environment. That's what I suspected, and I guess to be expected if Mate couldn't load the proper environment. It's a mystery to me why the second attempt was sucessfull while the first wasn't.

problems creating a new user
I am running Fedora 29 with the Mate desktop. This morning I tried creating a new user to check out a problem. After logging out and logging in again with the new users name and password, I was presented with a blank screen with just the mouse cursor visible. I deleted that user then created a second new user but got the same results.

Then I noticed that I was booting to a old Fedora 22 kernel (4.0.1-100. Upon investigation I found some strange entries in grub.conf. Strange in that there were references to the Fedroa 22 kernel. Removing those reference didn't help. Neither did selecting an older (F21) kernel from the list help, as the system would not boot at all. I was left with a dracut prompt. I lost sound, and all USB support. Plus my network failed to start as it appeared that bridge support was missing. Finally I installed grub again on /dev/sda and now I am booting to 4.1.10-100-f21 as expected and everything works again. Emmett That's almost identical to what happened to me...except I only lost sound and it only happened after I installed grub from my Debian Sid partition. Once I re-installed it from Fedora, the sound problem disappeared. But then I had no entry in the menu for Windows. So I re-ran grub2-mkconfig and Windows re-appeared!! I'd file a bug except I don't know whether it's a Debian problem or a Fedora problem. There must be some incompatibility between grub in both systems.

No sound on Fedora 21 solved
I figured out what was wrong. After the recent updates I changed the grub installation to grub on my Debian partition. Everything seemed to go well until todays sound problems. lsmod showed there were NO sound modules loaded and uname -a showed a strange kernel version. I reinstalled grub from Fedora. Sound is back, lsmod shows all the needed sound modules loaded. Now there is another minor problem.

mailto links under google-chrome in XFCE (Fedora 21)
Does anyone know how to setup Google-Chromes handling of mailto links in webpages ? I have run the xfce default handlier application, which has Google-Chrome as my preferred webbrowser and Thunderbird as my mail reader. Everytime I click a mailto link either nothing happens, or I get the message failed to run MailReader (input/output error)...not much help. I have checked the mimelist and it has set links up this way: [Default Applications] text/html=userapp-google-chrome-AGO0MX.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/about=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop application/x-extension-eml=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop the xfce4.helpers file contains this: MailReader=thunderbird TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal WebBrowser=google-chrome FileManager=Thunar There is a link in /usr/bin to thunderbird. In the mime list the x-scheme-handlers for mailto is exo-mail-reader.desktop, which runs MailReader I don't understand any of this---apparently xfce changed the way these things are handled in the latest release. Can someone clear away the fog ?

Problems with external SATA disk
I am running Fedora 20 (updated from 19) and have started having problems with an external SATA disk. It's connected through a USB adapter. Smartd recognizes it but I see repeated errors in the journal about not being able to update smart data on the disk. A few days ago, (around the time I updated 19 to 20) the disk after not being used for a while would become unresponsive with attempts to access the directories on it resulting in hangs. Yet if I reboot after turning the power to the disk off and on again everything is fine for a while. fsck reports the two partitions on the disk are fine and if I run a SMART short test it passes. This is the sort of error I get if I reboot without cycling the power Oct 03 11:09:54 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d8088c90\x2db24c\x2d483d\x2d8865\x2d4fdf6ac2b6a8.device/start Oct 03 11:09:54 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d8088c90\x2db24c\x2d483d\x2d8865\x2d Oct 03 11:09:54 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /home/frank/external.

Freezing mouse cursor in 19
I have noticed the pasts few weeks the mouse cursor freezes whenever I watch youtube videos in chrome. I am running the same Chrome version in Debian Sid and it doesn't happen when I am running that distro. The mouse cursor remains in one place but as I move the mouse around I can see that it's hovering over other things. This is happening with a wireless/keyboard/mouse combo, but it also happened with a regular keyboard/mouse combo so I don't think it's wireless related. Has anyone encountered this problem. I am running the latest kernel vmlinuz-3.12.6-200.fc19.i686 and the system is updated. It's a Dell Optiplex 745 with 2 gigs with stock Intel Video Maybe it's a flash problem ???

Cinnamon won't load panel.
The past week or so I have been having trouble with my Cinnamon desktop on Fedora 19. The panel is not loading, and it **seems** like the wallpaper is also not loading, although because I run 2 gdesklets, the proper background can be seen on them. The rest of the screen is black except for the desktop icons. Once in a while if I logon to Cinnamon 3 or 4 times in a row the desktop will come up properly but other times it refuses to load properly. I also run Mate and XFCE desktops and I am wondering whether there is a conflict somewhere. Is anyone else experiencing this ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Your mail is being read by tight-lipped NSA agents who fail to see the humor in Doctor Strangelove. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Minor problem with Fedora 19
I installed Fedora 19 recently but wasn't paying attention when setting up the username portion of the installation. As a result I had an abbreviated form of my full name as a user name. So I used the system utility to change is to my preferred username. Problem is my home directory is still named my old username and at lightdm logon I have to type in my new username and password ( which is the same). The logon screen doesn't offer me my new name, but still offers the old name. Anyway to fix ???
