Re: Problem with SD card
Answers to questions below. FWIW, on both systems a different SD card performs with no problem. That and the error message from e2fsck lead me to suspect that my problem is a bad superblock on the card. I've been unable to find any instructions on how to get e2fsck to mark the current superblock bad and create a new superblock. dmesg says [ +41.509460] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): recovery complete [ +0.001206] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): mounted filesystem 0fd984c4-cf88-408a-8ba5-15b64500bd5c r/w with ordered data mode.

Re: Problem with SD card
Thanks for the reply. The SD card behaves the same way on another system (F37) In desperation, I removed all of the date and used gparted to delete and recreate the file system. It did than, then restored all of the deleted files. I have the new result below. It appears that I need to replace the superblock, but I've been unable to discover how to do that. # e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1 e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) MP4: recovering journal Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data.

Problem with SD card
I have a 1TB SanDisk XC SD card, which has developed a reluctance to create files.

User mount has the same problem. gparted reported a problem with the superblock which was resolved by re-formatting and re-creating the partition table. The card has just one partition.

Using the magis sysrq key
I've been trying to develop strategies for dealing with a suddenly unresponsive system. One thing that looks promising is the "magic sysrq key".

wpa_supplicant behaving badly
xscreensaver is controlled by xscreensaver-command. If xscreensaver-command is called with the argument -deactivate it behaves as if a key was pressed. On my laptop running F37 that is happening every minute or so, so no screensaver. (F36 did not have the problem) Replacing that command with a script that runs pstree shows |-wpa_supplicant,952 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -s `-xscreensaver-co,1119 /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate `-pstree,1119 -agl AFAIK there is no reason why wpa_supplicant should want to disable xscreensaver.

After moving from F37 to F36 and re-installing a user directory (with dot files) I discover that login for that user fails. No messages in /var/log, no error message.

Home network has two wi-fi sources (Starlink and Netgear, fwiw). Occasionally netgear switches betwee primary (Starlink) and secondary (Netgear) .

Re: Dealing with "Emergency Mode"

Dealing with "Emergency Mode"
When things come ungluded on booting,the user is offered a root login, which seems to be referred to as "Emergency Mode" journalctl is suggested as a place to start looking for causes. In the output there are no priority 0 and 1 (and perhaps 2) problems. Running the reboot with display of the process (I forget exactly how I edited the boot command) shows nothing of interest. fedora-live runs without problems, and I'm able to reinstall 37 and reboot it. One the next reboot - or the one after that, I'm back in Emergency Mode.

I worked through chrome's startup script, just to make sure that I am running what I think I'm running, which is: /opt/google/chrome/chrome chrome hangs if run after exiting firefox. there are no error messages. I removed the chrome directories in .config and .cache strace /opt/google/chrome/chrome gives me a log of 6170 lines. There are no errors in the last 100 records that suggest that there might be a problem. In the log, there are 568 unique references to "no such file". So, no joy.

Installing Fedora 37 (over 35) from the live boot ISO. I had hoped to preserve the /home partition, but I was unable to figure out how to do that.

What's going on is configuration of claws-mail for OAuth2 connection to gmail. At the end of the process one connects to Google (with Firefox) to provide an authorization password. At that point things go haywire with the address. It turns out that the system in question appears to have hardware problems, so that's probably the root issue.

H good question. It appears that gmail lost most of the original mail. So, trying again The problem is that having used visudo to give user geoff (a member of wheel) the necessary permissions to access root without password,i.e.,, %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL it appears that everything is set up correctly, geoff@webster[94] ~: sudo -l Matching Defaults entries for geoff on webster: always_set_home, match_group_by_gid, always_query_group_plugin, env_reset, env_keep="COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE KDEDIR LS_COLORS", env_keep+="MAIL QTDIR USERNAME LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE", env_keep+="LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES", env_keep+="LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE", env_keep+="LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY", secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin User geoff may run the following commands on webster: (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Yet the simplest test fails: geoff@webster[95] ~: touch /foo touch: cannot touch '/foo': Permission denied Running a script that requires mount (which works as intended in v35 geoff@webster[100] ~/Perl: perl fix.pl mount: /Media/USB/usb2: must be superuser to use mount.

Thanks all for the feedback. Tip of the hat to whoever created the Fedora Live troubleshooting. It has (at least) gparted, fdisk, fsck, smartctl and badblocks. Seems like that should be enough for my purposes.

kworker leftovers
Fedora 35, not fully up-to-date I run a SiliconDust tuner that converts OTA TV to mp2, which I'm then able to play back using mplayer. An hard-wired ethernet connection is used between the tuner and the main CPU. I notice that there are leftover kworker processes. They are mostly idle and only a few have non-zero time, and then at most only a couple of seconds. For example, 87547 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:1-phy0] 87554 ?I 0:00 [kworker/7:2-events] 87555 ?I 0:00 [kworker/5:2-events] 87556 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:2-btrfs-endio-write] 87557 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:3-btrfs-delalloc] 87558 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:5-btrfs-endio-write] 87559 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:7-events_unbound] 87560 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:9-btrfs-freespace-write] 87561 ?I 0:00 [kworker/u16:10] 87626 ?I< 0:00 [kworker/u17:1] The leftover processes seem to vanish when the system is suspended.

It will take me a while to try to understand the output from your suggestions. In the meantime, yes, it is a direct cable to the hdhomerun.

Re: Help configuring internal network
There is only one computer involved HDHomerun is a box that converts OTA TV channels (i.e., a tuner) to a feed that is accessed by the local system. What is working? the code that accesses the ethernet feed, as far as I can tell What isn't working?

You need to provide more details. I don't understand what you're trying to do and what isn't working. As far as I can tell, "HDHomerun" is some sort of software. How many computers are involved?

Help configuring internal network
F35, fresh install. I have an ethernet-connected device (HDHomerun, fwiw) newly re-compiled on the newly-installed F35 xfce4 workstation. As far as I can tell from trying every network analysis I can find, the connection is good (exception, no response to ping) The interface was configured with the NetworkManager app, that assigned the device eno1. I'm sure that somewhere in all of the data that I collected, the problem sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb, but not to me, alas.

Fedora 35 new install no sound
After installing Fedora 35 on a previously-working F32 (pulseaudio), there is no sound. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F35_bugs#No_sound_after_upgrade_.28wireplumber_not_running.29 provided some suggestions, which did not work. In desperation, I erased pipewire and wireplumber and installed pulseaudio. No joy, so I reversed and things are not what they were previously -- that is, no sound but pipewire and wireplumber did not report any problems. I would greatly appreciate some guidance. root@pvr systemctl status wireplumber * wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/wireplumber.service; enabled; vendor preset: d> Active: inactive (dead) root@pvr[2]->systemctl enable wireplumber root@pvr[3]->systemctl start wireplumber Failed to start wireplumber.service: Unit pipewire.socket not found. systemctl status pipewire x pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pipewire.service; enabled; vendor preset: disa> Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2022-03-17 17:30:12 PDT; 23min ago Main PID: 792 (code=exited, status=254) CPU: 20ms ___ 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

Re: Picking a new laptop
H ... well how's about a company that designs *for* Linux? Star Labs https://starlabs.systems/ is a UK company that sells direct. I have their Starlite laptops and had absolutely no problem loading Fedora 32, even though it's not one of their "guaranteed to run" distos. Oh, and if something should go wrong, its nice to know that you won't get the, "Oh, we don't support Linux" response.
