Yeah, I should have known.

I gave -1 karma to the update and reported the error.  Someone else
noted that simply removing kdepimlibs solved the problem.

I'm not sure how I ended up with that package on this machine (it's
not on my other f36 machines), but that looks like a good fix.

Upgrade upgrade-testing Of kf5-akonadi-mime Fails

2022-05-20 Thread Garry T. Williams
Anyone know what I managed to mess up here?

Update using updates-testing gives this error:

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/config.kcfg/specialmailcollections.kcfg from install of 
kf5-akonadi-mime-22.04.1-1.fc36.x86_64 conflicts with file from package 
kdepimlibs-4.14.10-39.fc36.x86_64

Update is successful when I exclude kf5-akonadi-mime.

Should I delete /usr/share/config.kcfg/specialmailcollections.kcfg and
run an update?

Any idea how I got here?

(I did have
_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:marcdeop:frameworks.repo and
_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:marcdeop:plasma.repo
enabled, but I downgraded everything from there and downgraded back to
original repos and then upgraded before enabling updates-testing.)

From my shell history:

Thanks, Adam.  But reinstalling already failed to fix the problem for
me.  But I tried comment #13,

sudo semodule -X 200 -r snappy -r container -r flatpak -X 400 -r 
pcpupstream -r pcpupstream-container -X 100 -r pcp

and that did the trick for me (flatpak and pcp were the only modules
installed here).  My policy is no longer broken.

F36 Upgraded, But Now: Failed to resolve allow statement

2022-05-02 Thread Garry T. Williams
How do I fix an F36 system that gets this error:

$ sudo setsebool -PV rsync_export_all_ro true
Failed to resolve allow statement at 
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/tmp/modules/200/flatpak/cil:122
Failed to resolve AST
Failed to commit changes to booleans: Success
$

I believe the error was created when I upgraded.  This bug report was
identified and a duplicate of mine at that time (about a month ago):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2075651 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling selinux-policy to no avail.

I just gave karma for this update (pipewire-0.3.25-1.fc34.x86_64), so
maybe that will help.  I am pleased to report that it eliminated a
very annoying latency with bluetooth and pulseaudio that I have had
for years.

OK, that's what I have been doing.  But...

I get these errors repeated every one second after reboot:

Jan 24 12:44:25 gtw pipewire-pulse[2136]: pulse-server 0x55fea9939530: 
failed to connect client: Host is down

[QPulse] ERROR command:9 (SET_CLIENT_NAME) tag:1 error:6 (Host is down)

I repeated the procedure right after reading your message.  Sound
continued to work fine.  But after reboot, thos errors came back.

The time before trying this, sound was immediately gone and the log
showed those errors.

How To Test pipewire On F33?

2021-01-24 Thread Garry T. Williams
What is the procedure for testing pipewire on a F33 system?

(I'm obviously doing something wrong since the bug seems to not make
sense to anyone: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1912150
and yet my system will not function at all for audio after I swap in
pipewire for pulseaudio.)

I want to emphasize that it was *not* boot order that changed.  I
manually attempted to boot Fedora, but it failed (oh how I wish I had
paid attention to the details).

Anyway, I can manually change the boot order to either OS and it
respects my change.  My problem was something else entirely since a
manual change didn't boot Fedora.

I may try the manual downgrade, if I get time.  I am usually
physically away from this system so I will retrieve the old versions
and be ready when I can get the time.

Again, thank you for your thoughtful follow-ups.

The machine did not boot the Fedora OS.  Instead, it booted the OS on
/dev/sda.

Of course, I attempted to boot from the Fedora disk by using the boot
device configuration screen by hitting F12 during reboot.  This
failed.  (A photograph of the error would have been a good idea.)

I assumed that the reason was the boot record was missing.

This is useful.  I will try to document these results when I upgrade
to F30, if the same happens again.

The fdisk -l did show what I expected it to show:

Admittedly, this is output from the now-recovered system, but I can
attest that the same was displayed when the command was done using the
Ubuntu system that loaded from /dev/sda.

OK, the system was able to boot from /dev/sdb only after I reinstalled
grub2-efi and shim.

I assumed that was what restored the boot record (or whatever it's
called).

(I was able to boot normally from Fedora immediately before doing the
dnf system-upgrade.  A reinstall was not accepted by dnf, so I used
update instead.)

Well, I will not be so fast to restore, if it occurs again (f30).

Thank you for your suggestions.  I am sorry for the assumptions I
made.

For what it's worth now:

Sorry, the boot record is gone.  I happen to have another system on
the same machine and that system boots instead of the Fedora system
before my recovery actions.  When I forced a boot from the fedora
system using the machine's boot selection screen, it fails.  (No
diagnostic information in the BIOS setup screen -- just won't boot.  I
was forced to specify the USB Live system to start a recovery.)

The system-upgrade somehow wiped out my boot record on /dev/sdb.

Cannot Boot After Doing system-upgrade

2018-10-13 Thread Garry T. Williams
I recently did this on an up-to-date F28 system:

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh \
--releasever=29 --allowerasing --best
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Now system will not boot.

I had to boot from a live usb stick and do:

$ sudo su -
# vgdisplay
# vgchange -ay fedora
# mount /dev/fedora/root /mnt
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot/efi
# mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
# mount --bind /tmp /mnt/tmp
# chroot /mnt
# dnf --disablerepo=updates-testing upgrade grub2-efi shim

None of this was obvious to me at first.  I got here only after a lot
of searching the Web for answers.  It seems that grub2-install won't
work on my setup, even after disabling secure boot on this machine.

What am I doing wrong here that I cannot boot after a system-upgrade?

Re: Update of apcupsd

Your question is ambiguous.  it says?

Anyway, I decided to try an upgrade to this version myself and the
restart of the daemon failed with SELinux is preventing
/usr/sbin/apcupsd from create access on the file LCK... immediately
after the upgrade was done.  This looks like a serial port lock file.
I have no idea why the daemon messes with that since my APC unit is
USB.

A downgrade to the -13 version restored normal operation.

I gave negative karma[*].

It's usually best to copy and paste error messages.

 To reproduce open one shell window (and only one), switch to root

I can't reproduce this.

I suspect that because I'm using KDE and konsole.

This is not a problem with rpm.  The work-around above seemed to
have fixed the poor performance, but it was back again after any
update.

The system was grinding away on lots of I/O.  Upon further
investigation, I think this was a btrfs bug.  The problem does not
reproduce since I updated to kernel-2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 from

 Was your default init level on Fedora-14 3?

No.  It was 5 on both systems.

 Then if you changed the
 default runlevel by modifying the file /etc/inittab, those changes
 wouldn't affect the configured systemd default target.

No, I never touched inittab on either system.  The DVD upgrade just
installed with multiuser.target as the default for some reason.

Although strange, it was no problem correcting it.

DVD F14 - F15 Problems

2011-05-29 Thread Garry T. Williams
I upgraded to F15 from F14 using the DVD yeterday.  I experienced a
few glitches:

1.  I was not asked to include the updates repository during the
update process.  Sad.  Now I will have to do an update after first
boot.

2.  This is apparently a general problem not really related to the
specific upgrade.  I noticed that the upgrade process was slow.  The
disk just churned forever.  After booting for the first time, I ran
yum erase on my debuginfos so that the subsequent yum update would not
pull those in.  This erase command took way too long.

I think the rpm database gets into a state that needs attention.  This
fixed it:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 /var/lib/rpm/__db.002 \
/var/lib/rpm/__db.003 /var/lib/rpm/__db.004
sudo rpm --rebuilddb

After that, yum operations sped up an order of magnitude.

3.  The first boot ended at multiuser.target instead of
graphical.target.  When I entered the command

sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target

kdm came up and allowed a normal desktop login.

Hmmm.  I compared another system that I upgraded using preupgrade and
that one had the correct graphical.target file linked in
/etc/systemd/system .  So I had to do this to correct the problem:

sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target
sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target \
/etc/systemd/system/default.target

I don't know why this happened with the DVD upgrade and not with the
preupgrade upgrade.

4.  I then did a yum update and waited a few hours while over 500
packages were downloaded and updated/installed.  This was almost 1GB
of downloads.  Most packages did not have delta rpms.

5.  I run KDE and after logging in and starting Kmail, it refused to
start, complaining about akonadi not being available:

Test 5:  ERROR
...
InnoDB: Unable to lock ./ibdata1, error: 11
InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process
InnoDB: using the same InnoDB data or log files.
repeated many times

Test 10:  ERROR
...
Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus.

Test 15:  ERROR
...
No resource agents found.

(Wow, this is a fragile piece in kdepim.)

The fix for this ended up being:

sudo yum --enablerepo=kde-testing update

Now the system is operating as expected and all looks good.  I'd be
happy to open any bugs any of you think should be reported, but I
think others have already encountered most of this stuff.

Thank you for another excellent Fedora release.
