I installed F34 in a VM from scratch which installed Gnome as the only

have the following:

I got all those files too

Hi Steve,

You made me think properly. I modified my

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

to

   [daemon]
   Xorg
   WaylandEnable=false
   DefaultSession=gnome-classic

And now I have my gear back in the lower right of
the logon dialog!

https://ibb.co/DG70XZb

Yippee!

Classic session is still weird, but nowhere near
as weird as the current version.  Now I have a choice.

Thank you!

I should apologize! I was thinking of this machine, which is almost new, and 
probably has the TPM in hardware. It's the laptop that's old, and has Windows

The OS in the VM can't see any of the hardware on the host system unless 
the VM specifically passes it through.  Normally, all "hardware" in the 
VM is virtual.  qemu has an option to add a TPM by either creating a 
virtual one or passing the hardware one through.  I have no idea about 
vmware or virtualbox.

The "software" TPM being talked about is more like TPM emulation. It can be 
added to
any VM via virt-manager on the "Hardware" screen and using the button in the 
lower left
to add hardware.

The TPM can be added to any VM.  The one caveat is that the VM must have been 
created to
boot via UEFI and not BIOS.  That option needs to be specified when the VM was 
created.

None of my motherboards have a TPM.  So I use the emulation. However, if you're 
motherboard does
have a TPM, I believe there is an option when adding TPM to a VM to use "Pass 
Thru".

It isn't possible, AFAIK, to simply change a VM from BIOS to UEFI.


I have a question about TPM hardware.
Fedora 34 running as an image in a Vmware Player VM on a Windows 10 host 
reports that I don't have a TPM chip, and with Windows 10 running in a 
Virtualbox (both these VM' are the free versions of the VM's) VM on the same

be added to the VM's as a device, or is Windows 11 and Fedora 34 not looking 
for the hardware the right way when running in a VM?



I don't use Vmware or VirtualBox.  So, I can't answer this.

Will the scanner work with the XSANE app? I like that because it has
various definitions which can be set so as to save ink/toner for
low definition requirements, and then hi def for the occasions that
require it. Using an Epson all-in-one, but I may be looking for a replacement--

now junk! (Have not yet checked the Epson--the router got killed in the

Another thing that I found can be "helpful" with KDE is to edit the 
/etc/systemd/logind.conf to have one line read


KillUserProcesses=yes

I've done this for sometime now.  I don't know, and really don't 
care to find out, it the situation exists that prompted
me to do that.  But, what was happening is that when one logged out 
from the Plasma session some processes would
remain running in the background.  I think the intention what that 
if the same user logged in again those processes
could be reclaimed to speed up the login.  I found that after a 
time there were a large number of "orphaned" processes.
I also had issue with Plasma reconnecting to pulseaudio.  I also 
think that not killing processes was part of the "switch user"
feature which has been disabled by default and which I never really 
tried using.


Killing the user processes on logout fixed things for me.



I rebooted



The reboot I'd been requesting was to ensure status entries were 
"fresh".


I did that one and later on an additional one because
the turkey froze on me.



What I reference above was for normal operations where one may 
login/logout/login multiple time in a day.


Oh my goodness KDE runs better on Xorg!
When looking for something else a little while ago I found a thread on 
the net that was indicating that even in F34 KDE on Wayland was still 
not a viable entity.

Steve

software unless
a TPM is found. So, for those who have already tried version 11, has
any one of you
tried installing on an older laptop, and then adding a software TPM,
or is this impossible?  --doug

As stated earlier, my system doesn´t have a hardware TPM, but adding a
software TPM in virt-manager was enough.

poc

Three questions:
Background: I have Windows 10 on the computer, even tho there are no apps
on it--I only use Linux. There may someday be a need for Windows?
Q1: Could you install the win 11 and then add the TPM s/w, or must the TPM
be on the machine already.
Q2: If it must be on the machine already, do you install it from a previous
version of Windows, i.e., Win 10? If not then how?
Q3: Would you please direct me to the source of the TPM you installed?
Thank you--doug


The "software" TPM being talked about is more like TPM emulation. It can be 
added to
any VM via virt-manager on the "Hardware" screen and using the button in the 
lower left
to add hardware.

The TPM can be added to any VM.  The one caveat is that the VM must have been 
created to
boot via UEFI and not BIOS.  That option needs to be specified when the VM was 
created.

None of my motherboards have a TPM.  So I use the emulation. However, if you're 
motherboard does
have a TPM, I believe there is an option when adding TPM to a VM to use "Pass 
Thru".

It isn't possible, AFAIK, to simply change a VM from BIOS to UEFI.

Yes

Go into

If you really, really want the magic to work and geoclue fails you need 
to give it the latitude and longitude and use a UTC clock.  It looks as

Maybe on bare metal it is better.  But in a Plasma on Wayland VM I have 
problems with cursor accuracy.

Don't know if the attached small image will make it the list.  But I moused 
over the 0 to try copy it and as
you can see the word "Used" above it was selected.

That doesn't happen in the same VM when running Plasma Xorg.

I tried that, and while it tries to look like the old Gnome, it wasn't
quite there, and too CPU intensive on my machine.

I use MATE, it's simple and doesn't weigh my system down just managing

In KDE, spice-vdagentd.socket is not hearing

 14:31:23 up 0 min,  1 user,  load average: 1.73, 0.47, 0.16

[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice

I then send something to the socket and Ctrl-C to end the ncat session.

egreshko    1854    1828  0 14:31 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto spice
[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ncat -U /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock

[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice
root    1859   1  0 14:32 ?    00:00:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd

Now the daemon is running, triggered by the ncat communication.  And we se

They also said Wayland and spice are "tricky".

Hi Ed,

is the socket missing?



I do not understand the question.


In my host and all my other VM's, spice-vdagentd.service
is running far before ~/.bashrc and far before logging in.
I happens seconds after the kernel is selected



That is the socket that /usr/bin/spice-vdagent binds to when run from 
.bashrc, the --user systemd unit,

or from konsole.

The action of spice-vdagent binding to the socket then triggers the 
spice-vdagentd (daemon).


It doesn't though

In KDE, spice-vdagentd.socket is not hearing
spice-vdagent-sock to trugger spice-vdagentd.service.

"OR" the spice-vdagent is never happening

Let me try this again.

Every thing below looks as it should.

At boot time, the spice-vdagentd.service is supposed to be *DEAD*.
I showed you that to be the case in my previous post.  It shows *DEAD*.
That is NORMAL.  That is The Way it Should be!

Then when /usr/bin/spice-vdagent is run.  (no d at the end) it will connect to
the socket  /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock this then *triggers*
spice-vdagentd.  And that then runs.

I showed all of that in my previous post.

And, I mentioned 2 says to get /usr/bin/spice-vdagent to run on login.

Why it didn't for you, I cannot comment without knowing the status after login.
