Re: Donate 1 minute of your time to test upgrades from F40 to F41

In my case on two boxes I went all the way, actually did the upgrade.

Somewhat boringly it just worked in both cases.

Re: F41 Change Proposal: Anaconda as native Wayland application (System Wide)

Doesn't this prove that it's really a VirtualBox problem, not a Fedora

I mean, we still want Fedora to run "everywhere", but the previous
discussion indicated a "Fedora problem", and your observations put
things into perspective.


Virtual machines have to sneak out of their virtual existence and
interact with the real world now and then, or they would be pointless,
so virtualization is ultimately a fudge.  The graphics side of it being
the most complex part of the fudge.

I agree it is the task of the virtualization engine to keep up with
guests developments and keep the fudge working, but Xorg works, and
Wayland doesn't, and as a user I don't really care who is at fault.

If there were a little more give and take there could be fewer
problems.  As I understand things, the rush to run Anaconda in Wayland
is going to break workflows because many folks DL the
Everything-Netinstall ISOs and use it to install anything.  Since the
move to Wayland is unnecessary, it seems like it could be delayed until
Wayland is better supported by the wider ecosystem.

Of all things, the installation mechanism should be chosen to be as
broadly compatible with as much as possible, and frankly Wayland is
currently not that.

That said, if my whole life was Linux, I would move to a QEMU/KVM only
workflow, but I still have one pesky Win box in my life that I can't get
rid of (at work) so VirtualBox for me still makes sense.

Current best practice appears to be that 3D must be turned off.  With it
on, nothing works, not even an Xorg session.  However, it is fickle,
depending on the GNOME stack, there have been times when 3D on was
better.  With 3D off, and GNOME in an Xorg session, it almost works.

The above links have many other links, but see comment 22 on the ticket.

On my recent failed attempt for a GNOME VM under VirtualBox, I converted
the VM to QEMU/KVM via a raw image (not a difficult procedure).  Under
QEMU/KVM the exact same VM install works flawlessly.  So it wasn't that
my installation went wrong.

GNOME has a fallback mechanism where it automatically runs the X.org

on the live image. Of course, as telemetry is evil, we have absolutely
no idea how many Fedora users actually hit this mechanism.


One comment I would make is that VirtualBox doesn't *properly* support
Wayland [yet] requiring GNOME to be run as an Xorg session (of course
not an issue for Xfce etc).

If Anaconda is to be Wayland, my concern is that it may make all DEs
uninstallable, even ones like Xfce far removed from Wayland.

I have my dnf configured with installonly_limit=6 and now and then find
it useful to get rid of old kernels (for example after a move from

I know in the early days of DNF5 you couldn't do this, but can you do it

Re: Planned un-retirements of Pantheon DE related packages

2023-11-21 Thread Ian Laurie

With elementary OS / Pantheon desktop upstream having made progress
with supporting newer versions of GNOME (i.e. support for newer
versions of libsoup, webkitgtk, gcr, etc.), it is now again possible
to build the Pantheon desktop components on Fedora 38+ (after I had
retired them from Fedora 37+). I am currently working on package
re-reviews and un-retirements.


Although I don't use Pantheon, I love one of its components,
specifically elementary-code. The ability to open any directory as if it
were a project can be really useful sometimes (especially ~/bin full of
shell scripts).

I am still using elementary-code-6.2.0-2.fc37 which interestingly does
actually work on 37/38/39 and even Rawhide.  Looking forward to an update.

My personal bugbear that I'd really like fixed is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016563
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/issues/26


I created a VirtualBox KDE instance using:
Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso.  System was updated
with updates-testing enabled.

There are problems even before you login.  The mouse pointer works in
reverse in the greeter, vertical bar over the background, then an arrow
pointer when you hover over the password entry area.

After logging into a Wayland session the mouse weirdness continues with
random (it seems) pointers... sometimes an arrow pointer and sometimes a
vertical bar to select text, but not coinciding with where the cursor
is.  With text in KWrite, and the cursor being an arrow when it should
be a vertical bar, there is a big offset, so you end up selecting the
text on the line below the line you want.

After logging out it was a chore trying to select X11 because the offset
was present in the greeter (I don't believe I have experienced that
before) and you were trying to go lower than the screen to try and
select X11 from the drop-down.

Once in the X11 session everything just works like it should.

Logging out of X11 and back to the greeter things go weird again.

I didn't think the greeter used Wayland?  So there may be something else
going on.  I cannot swear to it, but I don't think I've noticed problems
in the greeter before.

As Adam posted, the offset problem already has a bug for it.  Wayland is
certainly unusable in VirtualBox, but now even the greeter has issues,
and I think that's newish.

Can we squeeze coreutils-9.4 into Fedora 39?

2023-08-29 Thread Ian Laurie

coreutils-9.3 brought changes to the behavior of the -v option which
broke some of my automation scripts.

Because of this I have been blocking updates to coreutils in Rawhide and
Fedora 39. and I'm running coreutils-9.2-4.fc39.x86_64.

This change in the -v option has been reverted in 9.4 (released
2023-08-29).  From [1]:

** Changes in behavior

  'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will no longer output a message for each file skipped
  due to -i, or -u.  Instead they only output this information with
--debug.
  I.e., 'cp -u -v' etc. will have the same verbosity as before
coreutils-9.3.

If it's too late to get 9.4 into 39, is it possible to locally include
this specific reverting patch?

Re: Replacing DNF with DNF5: changes reverted and helping steps

2023-08-07 Thread Ian Laurie

On 8/8/23 03:59, Nicola Sella wrote:

Hi all,

As discussed[1] DNF will not be obsoleted in fedora 39. The side-tag
with the reverted changes was merged[2,3] just now.
You can now try the new packages by upgrading to the newer version of
DNF5 (dnf5-5.1.1-1.fc39) which will not obsolete DNF (dnf-4-16.2-2.fc39)
anymore.

Note that, if you install the packages from the side-tag, DNF might not
be installed because it would be obsoleted by DNF5-5.1.0, from rawhide
repositories.
Therefore, if you want to upgrade and use DNF < 5 on your rawhide
system, here are some steps that should help you.

1. If you intend to install the new packages from the side-tag, you
might want to exclude rawhide repositories. You have two options:

a. First, upgrade the system to the latest packages in the side-tag:
$ dnf5 upgrade \
   --best --releasever=39 \
   --disablerepo=* \
   --enablerepo=side-tag
--repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/
 <https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/>'
Then, install DNF:
$ dnf5 install dnf \
   --best --releasever=39 \
   --disablerepo=* \
   --enablerepo=side-tag
--repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/
 <https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/>'

b. You can achieve the same goal in one step:
$ dnf5 install "dnf < 5" \
   --best --releasever=39 \
   --disablerepo=* \
   --enablerepo=side-tag
--repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/
 <https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/>'

2. If you would rather not use the side-tag OR you are updating after
the packages are available in rawhide, you should have no issues. The
same two options follow:

a. Upgrade and install:
$ dnf5 upgrade --best
$ dnf5 install dnf --best

b. Or, with the one-liner:
$ dnf5 install "dnf < 5" --best

Please, don't hesitate to reach back if you cannot install the newest
packages,



I think you may need a --nogpgcheck in there to allow it to work.

Rawhide with kernel-6.2 requires VBox SVGA video mode to boot in VirtualBox

2022-12-27 Thread Ian Laurie
I've not been able to boot Rawhide in VirtualBox with any 6.2 kernel. 
Last good kernel was kernel-6.1.0-65.fc38.x86_64.  My host is Fedora 37 
all updates applied.


Experimentation reveals that I can get my VMs to boot with a 6.2 kernel 
if I use the old "VBOX SVGA" display setting rather than the "correct" 
"VMSVGA" setting.


The old setting produces a configuration alert with Linux systems 
(although it does work).  This feels like a kernel problem to me rather 
than a VirtualBox problem at this point.


Anyone else seeing this, I can't be the only one?

This seems to have all the gnome fixes, plus a load of KDE fixes, and 
the 6.0.7 kernel shouldn't this be a release candidate?

All working fine. I have one more native system to convert, which is the

will do after release.


Upgrades were performed around the time of the updates-testing 
activation point (long before the beta was released). I recall some 
non-show-stopping complaints from dnf, but the upgrades happened without 
a blocking incident and all machines are functioning normally now.

I'm currently running this version, with the 5.18 fixes, but it's
not
working with kernels 5.17.12/13 or 14.  A person reporting
success
with 5.18.3 reported not having problems with the 5.17 kernels,
so
maybe there are multiple issues (has been suggested it may be
CPU/chipset related).  I have not yet tried it on 5.18 but I
certainly will today.

Ian


If I understand Sérgio's comment #15 correctly, the 5.18 kernel
fixes
don't address the CPU issues possibly created by CVE-2022-1789
fixes,
so there is probably no point in me trying an early 5.18.  So the
CPU
issues are common to both later 5.17 and 5.18.  Sadly all my
hardware
here falls under the broken category:

[1] ASUS G750JS 1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz

@
2.80GHz
Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)
Fedora 36


Since it was going to cost me nothing but time, I tested
kernel-5.18.3-200.fc36.x86_64 with my existing
VirtualBox-6.1.34-4.fc36.x86_64 (RPMFusion updates-testing) and to my
astonishment it seems to be working.  On both platforms mentioned
above.  So maybe my understanding about the CVE fixes was not
correct.
Or something got fixed between 5.18.2 and 5.18.3 ?  Anyway the 5.18.3
Fedora kernel on Koji with the latest VirtualBox from RPMFusion still
in
testing seems to be working on 2 h/w platforms that were previously
failing from 5.17.12.

thank you for the feedback , yes you understand me well, but I hadn't
made tests with kernel-5.18.x

After read this thread this afternoon , I realize that I also have one
Intel(R) Core(TM), I have the i5-9300H CPU and I noticed have network
issues with  kernel-5.17.12.  so I downgrade the kernel kernel-5.17.9-
200.fc35.x86_64 and I confirmed that I hadn't the issues with network.

So I was also affected by kernel-5.17.12, but just had weird network
issues ...

So now, I not sure anymore if we have 2 issues or if it all the same
i.e. kvm mitigations which was in first place on kernels 5.18, or even
if virtualbox kernel-5.18 patch is unrelated. The important for me is
kernel-5.18 patch for virtualbox don't have regressions .


Sérgio,

Now that 5.18.3 & 5.18.4 are working as VirtualBox hosts, we seem to have 
problems with 5.18.x as a guest.  For me, 5.18.x kernels are not seeing the network 
interface.  I am seeing this with 5.18.3 and 5.18.4 in the guest, regardless of the 
outer host.  In fact I am seeing this on both Linux and Windows 10 hosts.

This is due the e1000 nic driver accidentally being disabled in
the 5.18 kernels. This is fixed in 5.18.4-301 / 5.18.4-201 / 5.18.4-101

Hans

I'm currently running this version, with the 5.18 fixes, but it's not 
working with kernels 5.17.12/13 or 14.  A person reporting success 
with 5.18.3 reported not having problems with the 5.17 kernels, so 
maybe there are multiple issues (has been suggested it may be 
CPU/chipset related).  I have not yet tried it on 5.18 but I certainly 
will today.


Ian

If I understand Sérgio's comment #15 correctly, the 5.18 kernel fixes 
don't address the CPU issues possibly created by CVE-2022-1789 fixes, so 
there is probably no point in me trying an early 5.18.  So the CPU 
issues are common to both later 5.17 and 5.18.  Sadly all my hardware 
here falls under the broken category:


[1] ASUS G750JS 1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller 
(rev 06)

I do and on two different machines (one a Lubuntu guest and the other 
with CentOS 7). 5.17.11 works fine on both.


I tried 6.1.35 which has fixes for 5.18 - 
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20914 - but that was no different.


With 6.1.97, the problem seems harder to trigger but not impossible.



Problem persists with 5.17.13, for VirtualBox users seems the last 
usable kernel is 5.17.11.

When I first started to see problems on my first host I blamed my SSD 
drive, memory etc until I noticed the same problems on another host 
system.  The 2 hosts are running very different h/w (one is an ASUS 
laptop the other an Intel NUC).


Long story short I can fix all the problem on both hosts by booting 
kernel-5.15.11.


Weirdness examples...

(1) If you boot Fedora 36 Cinnamon guest, login, launch a terminal and 
just drag it around the screen... Cinnamon crashes. Sometimes the 
terminal accepts text, sometimes not requiring the VM to be terminated 
the nasty way.


(2) GNOME... similar to above but you get knocked back to the greeter.

(3) Xfce... if you run updates, a lot of the downloads have hashes 
that don't match, requiring re-download.  This happens in Cinnamon also.


(4) Any GUI... if you run TOR browser it crashes quickly with error 
139 usually, or randomly some other error.


I am not blaming the kernel, the issue could be a kernel change 
VirtualBox isn't compatible with.  But since I have this on 2 host was 
wondering if others are already some way along in working out the 
problem.



Sorry, typo, should be "I can fix all the problems on both hosts by booting

I'm pretty sure I have seen the same in Gnome Boxes, but I haven't had a 
chance to look into it. It doesn't seem to happen every time.


I've done some playing and it looks like it is the first resize after 
the first login after a boot causes it.  After that it doesn't seem to 
happen (or it is very infrequent if it does).

What video device does VirtualBox provide to the OS?


That machine is at another location, but I am 99% sure it would be 
VMSVGA with 3D Acceleration turned off (which is the default).  I 
believe VMSVGA emulates a VMware SVGA graphics device.

1. You need to disable UEFI Secure Boot or configure akmods to 
automatically sign all built kmods (no documentation available yet).
2. On 470xx drivers branch you must disable Wayland on GDM (Fedora 36 
system-wide change). NVIDIA support Wayland only on 495.xx branch or 
newer.


As an 470.xx NVIDIA drivers maintainer, I think I should disable 
Wayland support on our side during the package installation.


Thanks for that info.  I'm running Xfce so I have lightdm not gdm.  In 
my case it was UEFI enabled in the BIOS, but this would have been the 
case with fc35 as well so I'm a bit perplexed why previously with Fedora 
35 it "appeared" to work but failed miserably in Fedora 36.  Also after 
the upgrade to 36, I was able to get graphics by booting the last 35 kernel.


Maybe the NVIDIA drivers were never working as such before, but somehow 
it was gracefully "falling back" to default drivers with the old kernel 
but not the new one?  No idea what was happening.

Do you want to make Fedora 36 better? Please spend 1 minute of your

I've done 2 upgrades from 35 -> 36 (real, not tests) on native systems.

On one, as explained earlier in this thread , I had to migrate 
VirtualBox from the Oracle version to the RPM Fusion version, and also 
ditch the RPM Fusion NVIDIA drivers which were preventing a boot to a 
graphical greeter (and also breaking the startx command), presumably 
because of a  comparability issue with the 5.17 kernel.


On the second system it just worked without fiddling.  The systems were 
as follows:


[1] Dell Precision T5610 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v2 @ 1.80GHz 
(8 cores total)

NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)

[2] Dell Optiplex 3040 1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100T CPU @ 3.20GHz
Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)

Both systems are relatively legacy unfortunately, but still looking good 
here.

Yup.  Consider it done.

Use VirtualBox from the RPM Fusion repository.

Just FYI kernel 5.11.5 still doesn't work for me, 5.11.2 does work. 
Didn't check 5.11.4 however.

Fedora 34 cryptsetup fails to mount veracrypt volume with kernel 5.11.3, worked in 5.11.2

2021-03-09 Thread Ian Laurie
Fedora 34 with latest updates (kernel-5.11.3-300.fc34.x86_64) won't 
mount Veracrypt volumes.  I can boot with the previous kernel 5.11.2 and 
it works fine.


kernel-5.11.3-300.fc34.x86_64
cryptsetup-2.3.4-2.fc34.x86_64

Commands I'm using are:

sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sdb1 vcvolume --type tcrypt --veracrypt 
--tcrypt-hidden

sudo mount /dev/mapper/vcvolume $HOME/secure

If I install and use Veracrypt I can mount the volume on 5.11.3 
(presumably because it's not using the kernel mechanisms to do it).

a fatal error and installation will be aborted.

Re: Rawhide hangs booting 5.11.0-rc2

2021-01-12 Thread Ian Laurie

I've managed to find and fix the bug which is causing this today,
and I have posted a patch fixing this upstream, so hopefully the
fix will make 5.11-rc4 (otherwise it should be in -rc5). No need
to file a bug and I suggest just sticking with 5.10 until this
is fixed in the 5.11 rc-s.

Regards,

Hans



Hi Hans,

I did file a bug report against rc2 but I suspect it may be a different 
issue, most of the crashes that appeared in the abrt mechanism were not 
reportable.


FWIW here it is:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914598

But I think it's a different issue.

Rawhide hangs booting 5.11.0-rc2

2021-01-09 Thread Ian Laurie
I just updated a VirtualBox Rawhide guest with latest updates which 
included the 5.11.0-rc2 kernel and the system hangs on boot (pic 
attached).  The system was updated a few days ago so was reasonably up 
to date before today.


Booting the previous kernel 5.10.0-rc6 still works OK.

In case something weird happened in the update, I reverted to a backed 
up copy of the vm (also reasonably up to date) and updated kernel* and 
rebooted with the exact same results.


Is anyone else seeing this problem with VirtualBox guests?
