Indeed.  And the results are tragic.  Here are my notes on it:


Paragon EXTFS for Windows:

   http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-windows/
   Note: crashes and leaves a stale drive letter, and
 USB flash card readers will attempt to use the stale letter.


Ext2Fsd Project (Open Source):

   http://www.ext2fsd.com/
   Note: does not work with Cobian Backup 11
 crashes a lot

Usually, when it all goes wrong just after pivot-root, there is a
problem with the new (real) root.  Exactly how it goes wrong is not
useful.  I would look hard at whatever is mounted at /sysroot.  It
should be what you expect / (root) to be, but mounted ro at that point
(`cat /proc/mounts` should show it mounted at /sysroot (see `man 5  
fstab`

for format); `ls -l /sysroot` should show the contents you expect).
(All off the top of my head; I haven't rebooted to test.)

Just a followup, I noticed recently that the crash no longer happens. I can now 
use this feature in Gnome on Wayland (where it previously crashed). I don't 
know if it was fixed on my end or theirs. They are still using Flash.

Have a look at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1268224


You can download kf5-kio-5.58.0-1.fc29 from there.

kdeinit5 closed unexpectedly notification

[Michael Eager]

I started seeing this after updating Fedora 29 (KDE) which installed 
kf5-*-5.59.


There are several postings on StackOverflow (unix.stackexchange.com, 
superuser.com) about this issue and suggestions on how to suppress the 
notification.  There's a Fedora bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1746465
and a KDE bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411441

This message happens whenever I close Dolphin, but also at random other 
times.


Apparently, downgrading to kf5-kio-5.58 reverts the code which caused 
the error.  Unfortunately, this is not in the F29 repo so it isn't 
possible to use dnf to downgrade.  Can someone update the repo with the 
old version?

Tony:

AFTER that pivot point?  The output I'm getting isn't enlightening me,

I can just reinstall, but I'm trying to learn more about how to
recover from errors, instead of taking the east way out.

Thanks,
