Swapped a dual boot drive into another computer and it will only boot Windows ?

2020-01-12 Thread linux guy
I have 2 computers, nearly identical, similar age.  AMI BIOS in both.

I swapped the M.SATA drives from each.   One drive has F31.  One has dual
boot Windows 10 + F31.

The F31 alone hard drive boots and runs fine in the first computer.  So
does the dual boot drive.   The dual boot hard drive will only boot Windows
in the 2nd computer.  I can't get it to boot Fedora at all.

The BIOS settings appear to be identical.  The first computer that boots
both drives fine has BIOS version F4.  I installed the lastest BIOS in the
second computer that doesn't boot.  It is version F2, but a much later
version.

I'm using legacy (compatibility, non efi ) mode.  The BIOS gives me 2
options:

P4: Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA
Windows Boot Manager (P4: Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA)

If I select the first option, the Linux boot partition the computer boots
and displays: "Reboot and Selct proper Boot device or... "

I've checked fstab on both drives.  The UUIDs are correct and they are set
up the same, except the dual boot drive has 2 extra entries for the Windows
install.

Why won't the dual boot drive boot Fedora on the 2nd computer ?

You're using VMware Player, I'm using virt-manger.  VMware Player is not free, 
is it?
Have you asked on the VMware support groups if anyone is seeing that sort of 
issue?
And, have you tried selecting a lower resolution?

Anyway, the max resolution in full-scree mode for my VM's are 2560X1440 (16:9).

I installed F29 Workstation from the LiveDVD in a QEMU VM.
I then updated, installed the dnf upgrade plugin and rebooted.
I then did the upgrade from F29 to F31.

Looks fine.

Should I be doing an additional step to try and recreate the issue?
No, that is what I did. The Gnome Terminal displays 2 overlayed windows 
and only the one that is the bottom of the two accepts input.  Firefox 
displays pages alternating between the page content overlaying the 
address bar and the address bar overlaying pages, and as a result if the 
page has menus I can't select the menus. The issue didn't occur in F29 
with Wayland.
In the vm where I removed my account from sudoers (I've got it back 
again now) I got these issues under Wayland, but they did not happen 
with Gnome in Xorg nor with KDE, and not only does it happen with 
Firefox V72 it also happens with Firefox V74.0a1 which was installed 
from a tar file in F30. In that image F31 was an upgrade from F30 where 
these issues were not present. I am running the VM's in Vmware Player 
V15 which has been updated each time maintenance became available. Also 
with this issue occurring in the VM with KDE installed, reinstalling 
Gnome via dnf group install did not rectify the issue, and nor did 
installing a custom operating system via dnf group install. As a side 
issue Thunderbird V74.0a1 does not appear to exhibit the issue.
One other thing I've just remembered with this issue, if I have the 
Gnome Terminal or Firefox un-maximised the issue doesn't occur, it only 
occurs if they are maximised. I don't know if the screen resolution has 
anything to do with it, the monitor runs at a resolution of 3840x2160, 
but because I'm in a vm I have to run it at 3840x2075(9:5).

Just further to this, the issue appears to only be in Gnome under

I tried a reinstall from scratch of F29 in another VM and upgraded it 
to F31 and the issue is still there in Gnome under Wayland. If I

Interesting that it happens in a VM.  Does it happen if you do a clean 
install of F31 directly?

I'll download an F31 livedvd and try that.

First ~500ms of audio gets dropped

2020-01-12 Thread Sam Varshavchik
One of my laptops has a minor, but an annoying, glitch with audio playback.  
I've observed this behavior with both Firefox and other audio playback  
applications. When audio playback starts /for the first time/, maybe the  
first 400-500ms of audio gets dropped, and then the rest of the audio plays  
fine.


What's interesting is that pausing the audio for a few seconds and resuming  
it does not result in dropped audio. But if the audio playback gets paused  
for a longer period of time, resuming it once again drops the initial 400-500  
milliseconds of audio.


This happens only on one of my laptops. All of them are based on the XFCE  
spin, and generally have the same set of packages. This must be hardware  
related. This is my hardware (lspci -v):


00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core  
Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)

   Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 6504
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 35
   Memory at f7e14000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
   Capabilities: 
   Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
   Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel


I'd be curious to compare notes with anyone else that has the same audio  
hardware.


The most annoying part of this is that this manages to perfectly drop the  
"new mail" notification from one of my Firefox extensions. By the time the  
audio hardware decides to do its job, the horse already left the barn.

I don't have youtube-dl, but I have the videodownloader plugin

It is around 30%

I installed F29 Workstation from the LiveDVD in a QEMU VM.
I then updated, installed the dnf upgrade plugin and rebooted. 
I then did the upgrade from F29 to F31. 

Looks fine. 

Should I be doing an additional step to try and recreate the issue?

Why would you do that when you can simply install F31 over your

F31 was an upgrade from F30 and I don't have the root account enabled to 
be able to reissue the dnf upgrade command.


So?  Just create a LiveUSB of F31 and use that to reinstall.  HTH, HAND.

Nope, lots of simpler methods...

1. Of course, if you have the root password you can give your user
sudo.

2. Boot to a maintenance CD and set a root password.

I don't have the root account enabled and I don't have a maintenance CD 
for F31 as it was an upgrade from F30, which was an upgrade from F29.


If you're comfortable with the command line, you can download the

Ok, but if you're wanting to end up at F31 and you're reinstalling 
anyway, why start with F29 instead of just using the F31 installer?

I tried a reinstall from scratch of F29 in another VM and upgraded it to

Interesting that it happens in a VM.  Does it happen if you do a clean

You have to create boot entries in the nvram that point to the boot 
loaders and you set the order that they are tried in.  Most also have an 
option to see the whole list and pick one.

Yes, that's what administrator rights means for a user.


I also should have asked "how" the OP lost admin privileges since it 
was stated by the OP
"Removing the privilege has removed my account from sudoers" which

the "wheel" group assumption.


For a typical user, not being able to use sudo would mean not being 
in sudoers.  And in a way it's correct.  If you aren't in the wheel 
group, you're not included by the sudoers file any more.
Hi Samuel and ED, I encountered this issue as I was trying Gnome under 
Xorg and KDE as the upgrade I did from F30 to F31 has caused Wayland 
to not work properly on my system. I have another thread around the 
Wayland issue (as a side issue to this, in another vm image I 
reinstalled F29 from scratch and upgraded it to F31 and the Wayland 
issue still occurs). While I was checking whether KDE exhibited the 
issues I was looking at my account in settings and it had and it had 
the administrative privileges checkbox set. Incorrectly thinking that 
meant that administrative privileges were permanently set rather than 
through sudo, I unchecked the setting. After this I tried to use 
kwrite to update /etc/default/grub, as the upgrade to F31 overwrote 
the changes I had in there, but kwrite was unable to save my changes 
because I was not in sudoers. I also tried using sudo in both a KDE 
and Gnome shell, under KDE and Gnome, and under both when I used it I 
got the message that I wasn't in the sudoers list and that the 
violation would be reported.
I do not have the root user active, as having installed KDE from Gnome 
via the Plasma group in dnf, I was not prompted to supply a root 
password, and I also thought that Fedora was like other distributions 
and disallowed the use of the root account.
Following the instructions in the link provided by Patrick Laimbock I 
have enabled the root account by setting its password, and used it to 
add the administrative privilege back to my account under KDE. In 
testing whether the Wayland issue happened on a new account, I created 
an account for my wife which I have also added the administrative 
privilege to so that I have a backup account I can use if I cause this 
issue again.

Steve

all available Fedora updates are installed. Or if I downgrade to
71.0.15. But I ran out of available machines to experiment with.
They're all now fully updated.

One of the following packages must have an ABI break in it, that the
current firefox build has a dependency on:

Yes, that's what administrator rights means for a user.

was stated by the OP
"Removing the privilege has removed my account from sudoers" which is

For a typical user, not being able to use sudo would mean not being in 
sudoers.  And in a way it's correct.  If you aren't in the wheel 
group, you're not included by the sudoers file any more.
Hi Samuel and ED, I encountered this issue as I was trying Gnome under 
Xorg and KDE as the upgrade I did from F30 to F31 has caused Wayland to 
not work properly on my system. I have another thread around the Wayland 
issue (as a side issue to this, in another vm image I reinstalled F29 
from scratch and upgraded it to F31 and the Wayland issue still occurs). 
While I was checking whether KDE exhibited the issues I was looking at 
my account in settings and it had and it had the administrative 
privileges checkbox set. Incorrectly thinking that meant that 
administrative privileges were permanently set rather than through sudo, 
I unchecked the setting. After this I tried to use kwrite to update 
/etc/default/grub, as the upgrade to F31 overwrote the changes I had in 
there, but kwrite was unable to save my changes because I was not in 
sudoers. I also tried using sudo in both a KDE and Gnome shell, under 
KDE and Gnome, and under both when I used it I got the message that I 
wasn't in the sudoers list and that the violation would be reported.
I do not have the root user active, as having installed KDE from Gnome 
via the Plasma group in dnf, I was not prompted to supply a root 
password, and I also thought that Fedora was like other distributions 
and disallowed the use of the root account.


regards,
Steve

I think all you have to do, if I'm understanding correctly how Steven
did it, is run 
grub2-mkconfig -o grub.cfg
in the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora directory.  That will probe your system and
find all bootable OSs, and then put stanzas for them into grub.cfg.  I
think that Steven must do the equivalent for the other OSs he has
installed, so that their equivalent of grub.cfg also has all the other
bootable OSs in stanzas.  That's what I'm puzzled about.  How does
UEFI boot know which directory to use as the canonical directory when it
starts? Does it present a menu so the user can choose?
