Bonjour,

I downloaded the f40 iso for a worksation, but I did not see on the
fedora website how to burn a bootable DVD with this iso file

Maybe someone can tell me how to proceed.

google indicates this for windows  no windows at home.

I prefer to use command line.

Thank you.

The easiest way is to just dd the iso file to a USB stick and boot off that.

This shows you the USB drive. On my system, I have two drives internal
drives, so my USB drive shows up as sdc:

lsblk

Once you've identified the USB drive, use dd to write it to the USB. In
my case, it's /dev/sdc:

dd if=/path/to/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso of=/dev/sdc

Make sure your USB drive is large enough for the whole ISO file to be
written to it.

I also recommend Ventoy for booting off multiple ISO files:

https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

Hope this helps!


The OP definitely asked for a tool to create a bootable dvd.

With a gui, this may be done through k3b. As a commandline tool, wodim
should work, even the dd command:

Well, I followed

https://fedoramagazine.org/setting-kernel-command-line-arguments-with-fedora-30/

and

# grubby --update-kernel=ALL
--remove-args="resume=UUID=8e895273-b3ca-465e-b991-b7a0e4e10345"

was all I had to do, which (hopefully) should work on every present and
future kernel.

My understanding is that dracut will pull in the parameters from
/etc/kernel/cmdline, so keep an eye on it.


I observed, that the grubby command did (at least) three things:

- Change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub

- Recreate /etc/kernel/cmdline (which I had deleted before)

- Adjust all entries in /boot/loader/entries/

In all these places reference to the kernel command line was altered - I
don't know which changes were really crucial, but all present kernels
now boot as expected. The initramfs files in /boot were left unchanged.

Yes, I have. I includes the "resume=" parameter as well, and, according

If the "resume=" parameter is causing the problem, remove it from

to the time stamp, was created (like /etc /default/grub) at install

I try to sum up what I have learned from the diskussion in this thread:
Still on F39, I have rearranged my system with partitions scattered on
three drives (in another thread, I reported problems with grub that I
supposed to have aroused from that). At that time, I had an old and
small swap partition hanging around, which I hadn't used for years
(meaning that it wasn't listed in fstab). Now it is no longer present,
but a suppose it was at install time of F40.

I definitely did not include the old swap in the manual partition
scheme, but I guess that Anaconda found it and included it into the
files responsible for the resume kernel parameter. That was no problem
until recent kernels which, as Barry stated, require that resume= refers
to a physical partition.

Thanks to all who contributed!

Does your fstab or installation media or any other media used during or prior to
F40 installation include that UUID fragment?

Sorry, I am rather clueless. I installed F40 from a live spin "KDE
PLASMA DESKTOP", created with Fedora Media Writer which erased all
previuos data on the USB media.

A small nit... Boot is probably not hanging. You have not waited long
enough for the timeouts and the fschk.


It surely hangs ... The other day, I left boot unattended for more than
an hour - Never Ending Tour.

You should either (1) ensure disk UUIDs are correct, or (2) disable
suspend. A good discussion in the context of Ubuntu is at
<https://askubuntu.com/a/1087262>.

I've also seen a missing swap file cause the condition. In my case, I
deleted the swap file, extended the physical size of the drive, and
then created a new swap file at the end of the free space. The swap
file's UUID changed, and it caused the slow boot waiting for timeouts
and the fschk.

What I already mentioned: It doesn't hang on kernel 6.8.9, only on more
recent ones, with everything else left constant (e. g. no boot partition).

If you have no swap, then how can you resume after hibernation? Do you

Does any device within your system actually include 8e895whatever within it?

No, there isn't any block device with an UUID (or PARTUUID) that
includes 8e895

Did you previously have a swap partition whose UUID included 8e895?

I once had a swap partition (of course, I don't remember its UUID), but
it no longer existed when doing the fresh install of F40 on May 3rd.

# lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64.img | grep resume
#
If you run the above on 6.8.9, do you get the response I do? If yes, then it was
creating a process destined to timeout and delay complete boot success. If no,
then the resume= parameter in Grub was merely an override of that existing 
within
your initramfs. Do you get the same result running the command on 6.8.10? When 
you
removed it from Grub, you stopped creating what had not been specified in your 
initrd.

With 6.8.9, the output is empty like yours, on 6.8.10 an 6.8.11 I get
those four lines:

resume

... usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hibernate-resume

... usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-hibernate-resume-generator

... usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-resume.service

IOW what I think happened is that whether resume= existed within your initrd was
changed from 6.8.9 to 6.8.10. Since I always have noresume instead of resume=, I
don't think I ever have had resume=in any of my initrds.

What I don't understand: What produced the entry "resume=UUID=8e895..." 
in the file /etc/default/grub which was created on the install date, May
3rd?

Boot hangs on recent kernels

[Klaus-Peter Schrage via users]

Since kernel 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64, boot hangs on KDE Plasma (kernel
6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 was the last good one).
I found that there is a job running infinitely:

'Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-8e895running ...'
The above mentioned UUID (8e895 ...) corresponds to the kernel
'resume=uuid=...' command line parameter.

When I comment it out in GRUB2, as suggested in

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/solved-boot-hang-job-dev-disk-by-x2uuid-no-limit/

then the system boots as expected.

This is a rather fresh install of fedora 40 (running on ext4):

da  8:0    0 232,9G  0 disk
├─sda1   8:1    0   1,1G  0 part /boot
├─sda2   8:2    0  49,1G  0 part /
├─sda3   8:3    0  31,7G  0 part /home
└─sda4   8:4    0   151G  0 part /mnt/Daten3

I have no swap partition, resume after hibernation works without errors.

Although there is an obvious workaround (permanently removing the resume
parameter from the kernel command line), I still wonder what has happened?

Unwanted dialogs when starting Dolphin file manager

[Klaus-Peter Schrage via users]

On a fresh install of Fedora 40 KDE Plasma, after opening Dolphin, two
windows pop up:
"Online Accounts", asking "+ Add New Account"
"Authentication Dialog", asking for a password

What happened before:
I had been struggling for a while to automount a smb sare via /etc/fstab
(in fact, the share is on a thumb drive attached to our router, mainly
used to receive scanned documents from a network MFC).
There seemed to be a race condition in systemd between smb3 mounting and
the network being up fully.
I finally got it figured out. Here is the corresponding line in
/etc/fstab (the game changer was adding the last option:
x-systemd.automount):

//fritz.box/NAS/FUSB/Scanordner /mnt/Scanordner smb3
vers=3.1.1,uid=1000,credentials=/root/mount_smb3.conf,x-systemd
.automount

Now the"Authentication Dialog" pops up, even though the password is
given in the credentials file, and after the share being mounted r/w.
Nothing severe happens when I simply shut the dialog, I can access the
share as well.

The other dialog "Online Accounts" is even more strange to me.
I'd simply like to prevent both windows from popping up ...

I have checked/rechecked three times:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg with flag "--root-dev-only": grub goes to

/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg without "--root-dev-only": grub menu is

After that I think you are deeper into grub2 than my experience goes.
I.e., is $dev getting set correctly? etc.

Well, I am deeper into grub2 since two day or so. The discussion in this
thread (and further reading induces) gave me a faint insight.
(I really was a fan of the ancient grub and its simple possibility to
add custom splash pictures to the grub menu:
http://www.schragehome.de/splash/ - but that is truely outdated).

Some googling about "--root-dev-only" showed that it has been introduced
in very recent grub packages (mine are 2.06-118) to cure a certain
vulnerability (CVE-2023-4001). I found a bugzilla about that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2263369

So I am not sure if this is a real solution, but for me at least a
viable workaround.

I assume you can still boot with manual grub commands.

Yes, linux ..., initrd ..., boot
or: >configfile (hd0,1)/grub2/grub.cfg
which immediately brings back the grub menu.


Retrace your steps and double check UUID's, other typos, and
misplaced quotes.

Recheck /etc/fstab and /etc/default/grub.   You can also check
for errors in the /etc/grub.d/10_linux section of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.


The only configuration file that I had edited manually was /etc/fstab,
all the other ones were created/altered by commands to update grub. As
far as I remember, the system simply wouldn't boot if there were a typo
in fstab.
As described earlier, I always ended up at the grub prompt.

What I found: If I write the "real" grub.conf directly to the efi
partition (*|grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg), then I
boot to the grub menu as desired (I have read in the fedora wiki that I
should refrain from this ...).
If I reinstall the grub rpms (|*dnf reinstall shim-* grub2-efi-*
grub2-common), then a small grub.cfg is written to the efi partition,
which simply should point to the location of grub.cfg in /boot/grub2/ -
but it doesn't. So the errors seems to be in this file
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg:

   search --no-floppy --root-dev-only --fs-uuid --set=dev
   206c0b5f-eddf-42e8-96f1-e666c5635cd0
   set prefix=($dev)/grub2
   export $prefix
   configfile $prefix/grub.cfg

But here I am stuck. The UUID above definitely points to the boot partition:
[root@localhost ~]# blkid|grep 206c0b5f-eddf-42e8-96f1-e666c5635cd0
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Boot" UUID="206c0b5f-eddf-42e8-96f1-e666c5635cd0"
BLOCK_SIZE="1024" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="2924c08b
-e043-4e4c-94e8-317dfab8b84e"

So, writing the actual grub.cfg to the efi partition as mentioned above
might be a workaround, but I don't know if this will survive an update
of the grub binaries.

No, the IDs should be unique. I have moved the partitions by Gparted, which

Re: Stuck at grub prompt after reordering partitions

The basic process is EFI is using its variables (which you can examine
with efibootmgr) to find a device and the file on the device to use
for the boot.  That should be on the *.efi files in
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/.  That in term should load grub2, which will
then use /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.  It then uses this to find the
device with /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

If grub.cfg was created by grub2-mkconfig I would expect them to be
correct.

I am really grateful for your detailed explanation!
I went through all the steps, checked the IDs from efibootmgr and blkid
with respect to the various configuration files - and found no mismatch,
but again I ended up with the grub prompt.
Tomorrow I am going to spend another rainy afternoon double-checking -
and then I'll give up and do a fresh fedora install on blank /dev/sda
(which might be a good idea anyway after all those years of
system-upgrade). Things that matter to me (home partition, VMs) are all
stored on other devices anyway.
Usually I want to find out thing (and nearly always got there), but now
I am stuck.

After many years of maintaing dual boot setups (Fedora/Windows) my
harddisk layout got a bit confusing: Linux and Windows partition were
scattered on mainly two harddisks (all gpt). I was able to free a third
harddisk (ssd) and copied the linux partitions boot, root and home over
to the new disk, where they now reside as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2
and /dev/sda3.
I left the efi-partition on the disk /dev/sdc together with Windows 11.
As in /etc/fstab all partitions are identified by their UUID, I didn't
feel a need to adjust that file.
Trying to boot brought me to the grub command line prompt. After some
trial and error, the appropriate sequence of grub commands (set
root=..., linux ..., initrd ...) made the system boot into a fully
working Fedora 39 installation.
  From there I tried to repair GRUB2, following the guidelines at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2?rd=Grub2#Updating_GRUB_2_configuration_on_UEFI_systems
namely those three steps:
# rm /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

# dnf reinstall shim-* grub2-efi-* grub2-common
But rebooting still gets me to the dreaded grub>.
So what am I missing?
BTW, I did NOT use the grub2-install command which shoud not be used on
UEFI systems.

It seems like you're using UEFI, yet remain unaware of the efibootmgr command.

Thank you for pointing me to efibootmgr, quite new to me up to now.
I am not sure if they might be related to my problem, But I have made
some observations written down in my recent reply to Go Canes which i

Step by step:

I recently had similar problems.  These are the things to check:
o use blkid to get the current UUID(s)

The current UUIDs correspond to the ones in /etc/fstab, that hadn't been
changed btw.

o check /etc/kernel/cmdline if it exists - make sure the UUID (if
used) is correct for the new root disk

root=UUID=047db84f-e100-4696-9c6b-b2e48fb11c55 ro
That points to the new (and old) root partition

o check /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg for correct UUID(s) - as far as
I am aware you would have to edit the file to fix

"search --no-floppy --root-dev-only --fs-uuid --set=dev
ea60d506-7eb7-4174-ae54-5b47c7d08e17
set prefix ..."
This UUID points to my /boot paretition - that should be ok?

o check /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for correct UUID(s) - you should be able
to update if needed with "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"

There was one suspicious UUID concerning the kernel resume parameter. It
pointed to a swap partition which was no longer present for a while. I
deleted the corresponding line from /etc/default/grub and updated
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

o update /etc/fstab with any changed UUIDs

see above

o these things get recorded in the initramfs - update with "dracut
--force --regenerate-all"  [or use "man dracut" for commands to just
regenerate a single initramfs]

I did that again, no success

In your other post, you mentioned PARTUUIDs. Frankly, I didn't know much
about them, and I definitely didn't use them.
But, as Felix had proposed in his post, I dived a bit deeper into
efibootmgr (also new to me up to know), and found out that entries point

Re: Stuck at grub prompt after reordering partitions

[Klaus-Peter Schrage via users]

Thanks for your quick reply!

I faintly remembered the dracut thing, so I tried that first - but it
didn't help.

I will look into the UUID stuff tomorrow, although I had already checked
that gparted really did not change UUIDs when  moving partitions around.
And as I said, I can get into Fedora after fiddling with the Grub
commandline.

And, as an aside, when I simply exit the grub command line without doing
anything else, I boot into Windows immediately!?

But, as I said, I will recheck everything you mentioned.
Cheers

There are several post-upgrade steps that may be useful to you:

There are usually lots of dangling symlinks, so you may want to clean

Since relabeling is under the section "Resolving post-upgrade issues,"

That is very odd. | have seen a number of people seeing odd things failing
as a result of selinux labelling errors. You could try to the auto relabelling 
and
see if that fixes it.

touch /.autorelabel
reboot

Other then that you could try running /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-resolved as root
in debug mode and see if reports any errors.

systemctl stop systemd-resolved

Thanks, Barry, you were right in suspecting selinux: After
autorelabelling, I booted the system for several times without the
problem ever reoccurring. So for me, there is sufficient statistical
evidence that my problem is solved. But an issue remains: Why got my

FWIW, hp-check gives me just the same errors about missing dependencies
(some details in the log are different because my device HP Color
LaserJet MFP M277dw includes scanning). So these messages are probably
useless in your case - as far as I understand it, those dependencies are
essential if you want to BUILD the hp libraries.

Interesting enough, hp-toolbox tells me that no hp devices can be found,
although I definitely can use my printer/scanner. I found that my
printer uses "driverless printing" through "IPP Everywhere". So you
might investigate further in this direction:

But no luck : I need help.

That doesn't tell us what you tried or how it failed. Are you trying
to install this package:

https://fedora.pkgs.org/34/rpm-sphere-noarch/clonezilla-3.35.2-1.noarch.rpm.html



Hi George ,

A bit late but :

How to install Clonezilla:
===

1 . rpmfusion-(non)(free)-release-34.noarch.rpm is inslalled.
2 . https://github.com/rpmsphere/noarch/tree/master/r gives no such
file or directory.

3 . rpm -Uvh rpmsphere-release*rpm gives file not found by
glob:rpmsphere-release*rpm.

4 . dnf install clonezilla therefore gives no result.


Be so kind to inform me,


Ger van Dijck.
George N. White III


You probably had a look at https://clonezilla.org/ to learn that there
are three variants of clonezilla:
- A live version (which I have been using for years), best installed on
an USB drive
- two server editions for mass deployment of saved images (unimportant
for me).
So what version are you trying to install? To use the live version ,
simply download the iso and install it on an USB stick. No need for a
Fedora rpm in this case.

It results that I cannot open a fill and stroke, and I cannot set an

Is is a bug or a configuration issue?

Please give some more informations about what you actually did and what 
happened:

Is there anything showing up when you select "Object - Fill and Stroke"?
If you see the "Fill an Stroke" palette, are all items greyed out? Then 
you probably did not select any object (line, circle, ...).

Re: Video editing disaster

Recently, I had some  (not too extensive) sessions in video editing - 
cutting an mp4 file, adding some transitions, recode to mp4 again, 
without a single crash, using

Flowblade.

last a year ago)?


I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully 
updated.  The packages
are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms.  My 
main system is an

older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it.

The files I am testing with are:
  JPG images from a DSLR
  Quicktime from my DSLR (MVI_xxx.MOV),
  Movie from my Android phone x.m2ts
  Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg
  Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD):   .MTS

KDENLIVE:
My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files.  I keep getting 
"clip is invalid".

The terminal outputs:

mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so
  (/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol 
av_buffersink_get_sample_aspect_ratio, version LIBAVFILTER_6 not

I think there is a lib miss-match.

PITIVI:
Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running.  Multiple core dumps.

OPENSHOT:

I really love OpenShot.  I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed 
all the time,
for example when trying transitions.  I also tried the latest version 
via AppImage:


  OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage

This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with 
transitions, adding

an MP3 file for audio, etc.

Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to 
run one of these

in a stable platform?

Note, I am filing bug reports on many of these crashes

Thanks,

Are you using the same file for both, or just typing the same

check carefully for any typing errors.

For what it's worth, specifying a serif, then two sans-serif fall-backs,
is a bit odd.  Not that /that/ should have anything to do with your
issue.


I read this:

No problem with firefox 42 on fedora 21, no problem with firefox 50.1.0
on fedora 24.

Problem occurs with firefox 49 or 50 on fedora 25 but no problem on this
platform with google-chrome.

On fedora 25 I have the same problem if I read localy the same files
through httpd server running on localhost public_html

For me, this site is rendered identically by Firefox (50.1.0) and Chrome 
(55.0.2883.87 (64-bit)) in Fedora 25 (KDE).


In Firefox, the fonts font instruction ( font-family: Freeserif,

Re: Reverting to nouveau

[Klaus-Peter Schrage]

FWIW, I have reverted from the NVIDIA driver to nouveau quite often by 
simply doing

$ sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
which also removed most of the dependencies you have mentioned. After 
that I could reboot into nouveau without any other alterations - just to 
notice that nouveau is not my friend. So reverted to NVIDIA  again in a 
similar way:

$ sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
(which, on reboot, was followed by some lenghty stop/start jobs from 
akmod but worked in the end)

- Deleted /etc/X11/*nvidia*
- Deleted the Nvidia blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d
- Rebooted

I now have a VGA system (640x480). The Nouveau module is not loading at
boot. xrandr says "Failed to get size of gamma for output default".

This post is newer and has more info -wrt winetricks, and 64bit-

Have you been able to have IrfanView open an image when just 
double-clicking on the image in your file explorer?  My previous 
attempts at this failed, although the IrfanView application itself, 
once opened through the wine menu, worked without a hitch.


You can associate any file type (eg pictures like .tif, .png, ...) to 
applications installed through wine, see eg:

 
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/227195/how-to-create-a-custom-command-in-linux-for-a-wine-pdf-application.
In short:
Create a shellscript "iviewstart" somewhere (in my case: ~/bin/):

 #!/bin/sh
   QUICKPARLOCATION="C:\Programme\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
   PARAM=`winepath -w "$*"`
   wine "$QUICKPARLOCATION" "$PARAM"
   exit 0

Make it executable and change the file associations of your desktop 
envirement for the respective image types to iviewstart.

I used a a similar technique to associate "Foxit Reader" with pdf-files.

Like this fig 9-2:
If you really want to pull a vector graphic like this in a clean way, 
you can do it with Inkscape (any other vector editing tool capable of 
handling pdf works as well, but I often use this one):


 * as Inkscape only seems to be able to open a single pdf page, first
   extract the page in question (e. g. page 39) with a tool of your 
liking

 * open page39.pdf in Inkscape
 * with the selection tool, draw a rectangle which covers all elements
   of your figure
 * copy and paste the selection to a new empty drawing
 * save as fig9_2.svg or fig9_2.eps


I will look into Inkscape, I see it in the F22 repo.  But what is a 
svg or eps file?  Can they be imported into a Libreoffice 
presentation?  And then Powerpoint?


Thanks 

They are both vector graphics formats:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulated_PostScript
Libreoffice impress can import svg files, but for reasons I dont know, 
it doesn't read eps, at least the ones created with Inkscape.

Powerpoint (2010), on the other hand, imports eps, but not svg ...

If you want to try the files, you can download fig 9-2 in eps and svg 
format from here:

It was sad when we lost Acrobat reader for Linux.


What other tool can read in pdfs and provide selecting an image (e.g.

Hello, Angelo,

'vlc' should give you the graphical interface and not, like in your 
case, the cli.


So either you have
- a misconfiguration
- a broken installation.

So at first you can try to reset your configuration by
vlc --reset-config

If that does not help, go the brutal way:
rm -rf ~/.config/vlc/

If your installation is broken, uninstall vlc and install it again (I 
guess you received vlc from rpmfusion?)

amr support for sox (amr-nb and amr-wb) is in sox-plugins-nonfree, which

No, it was the very url that you reported which I have used - one the

I err'd when I wrote the above as I actually found 2 DVD's in the drawer and the one I

The Philips brand DVD+RW does *not* support the blank option when using the 
dvd+rw-format tool...

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/sr0
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by ap...@fy.chalmers.se, version 7.1.
* 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected.
- illegal command-line option for this media.


I found the dvd+rw-format man page quite readable (unlike some others) 
and helpful in explaining the difference between  DVD-RW and DVD+RW 
media with respect to blanking/formatting:


quote
To blank a DVD-RW and put in the incremental sequential mode, run:
dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/dvd
...

-force[=full]
Perform formatting even if the medium is formatted already. This is not 
recommended for  BD-RE  and  DVD+RW media, since  they  need to be 
formatted only once. Use -format=full to perform full (lengthy) reformat 
in case of DVD-RAM ...

...

Note that DVD+RW re-formatting procedure does not substitute for 
blanking. If you want to nullify the media, e.g. for privacy reasons, do 
it explicitly with 'growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/zero'.

Perhaps this depends on the types of drive or media. I used 'cdrecord -v

Usually you *format* these media once, then, unlike CDs, you simply

Not an iso, as such, but it's possible to build an image of what will

with a table of contents file), until things got nicely automated for

Check Only create image on the right-hand side of the Settings tab
of the final burn screen where it asks for a medium and all the

As poma has pointed out before: k3b is a way to go. You can create an 
audio cd directly from mp3 files, without converting to wave format 
before (you can't build an iso, as there are no isos for audio cds, 
but I may be corrected):


After starting k3b, select New Audio CD Project, then simply drop your 
audio files into it, they will show up as tracks with artist and 
title taken from what is written into the id3 tags of your mp3s.


Hitting the Burn tab, you find a CD-Text tab where you can make your 
choices. Then you may burn your audio cd, k3b makes all the neccessary 
audio conversions.


In order to make this work, certain conditions have to be met:
1. k3b-extras-freeworld (and it's dependencies) from rpmfusion have to 
be installed (you probably don't need them if you use wave or ogg files).
2. There have to be id3 tags in your mp3 files at least for artist and 
title.


This all may be achieved with command line tools, but ...

There is even more magic: I repeated the proposed build process of the 
patched nouveau driver after an update to the most recent kernel 
(3.17.7-300) - result again: a noisy fan.


Than (after booting into a different kernel) I removed 
kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 (and the corresponding kernel-core and 
kernel-modules), this, btw., left /lib/modules/3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64/ 
untouched, including the module binary nouveau.ko.


Next step was an update to kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 again, and 
after booting into it, the fan was silent! modinfo -n nouveau says:

/lib/modules/3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64/updates/nouveau.ko,
which is the binary that had survived the erasure of 3.17.7-300.

I really have no idea about the way modules get installed during a 
kernel update, but there seems to be something more than a simple 
depmod command that I gave after the initial modules build.

Oh, yeah. Forgot. I suspect you'll need to rebuild the initramfs after

using the original one from the kernel update. So:

1. Patch
2. Build
3. Move to appropriate spot
4. Depmod
5. Rebuild initramfs...make sure the new module is included
6. Reboot


Rick, I think that's it: lsinitrd lists the nouveau driver and points to 
the newly built binary in /lib/modules/.../updates/.


In older versions of the initramfs image in my /boot directory, the 
original driver is listed.


So, in your step 5, a simple dracut should do the trick (with the 
--force-option when the initramfs version corresponds to the running 
kernel). I found that dracut finds and includes the binary in 
/lib/modules/ .../updates/.

Heinz, it was you who pointed me to the offending patch:
http://tinyurl.com/mz4vsr8
As far as I can see, the nouveau driver hasn't changed much since then.



Continuously patching away an obvious bug can't be the solution (and
someday it won't work any longer or need a manual merge)..


As you have suggested, I will file a bug on freedesktop.org against the 
nouveau driver.

[OT] Compiling a module for the Fedora kernel

[Klaus-Peter Schrage]

I am having a permanent fan problem with my obviously esoteric graphics
card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, see [1], [2]) for which I found a viable,
but tediuos workaround:
- get the kernel src.rpm
- apply a specific patch to the nouveau driver
- build and install new kernel rpms (see [3]).

I still have to do this on Fedora 21 with the actual kernel version
3.17.6-300, and I fear it will last a while until this problem might be
addressed (if ever).

Now doing this the way described in [3] always means copying and moving
GBs of code (not to mention the build time), although just a few lines
of code are affected.
So I thought about rebuilding only the nouveau module instead of
compiling the complete kernel source each time the Fedora kernel gets an
update. Of course, there are lots of instructions available on building
kernel modules, but I found none that refers to a Redhat/Fedora kernel
source (there is a section 'Building Only Kernel Modules' in the wiki
[3], but this is sort of inapprehensible for me and seems to be outdated).

So any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Klaus

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-November/123954.html

 The only difference with regard to 3.17 compatibility, point to 3.17
branch i.e. git clone -b linux-3.17
git://people.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau


Thank you, poma, that was easier than I thought. I first tried the 
latest and greatest nouveau driver from freedesktop.org as is, but the 
fan problem remains, so I still have to apply my patch to the nouveau 
source - which I didn't do yet, but which is, of course, a much easier 
task now than before.

I think you should file a bug against the nouveau driver on
bugs.freedesktop.org (xorg - driver - nouveau).


Yes, I'll do so when I have figured out how to apply the patch to the 
nouveau driver from freedesktop.org. The patch is *againsts the kernel 
source*, like:

--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/...
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/...
but the structure of the driver from git is:
nouveau/drm/core/...
(sorry for being so clueless, but I never dealt with kernel modules ...)

 Alright, so how do I download the stream? I see on the web some
 ideas, among them livestreamer, a package which is not provided
 by fedora nor by rpmfusion.

 Try youtube-dl, a command line tool available from Fedora, and easy
 to use, e.g.: youtube-dl
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo

 Should also work with flash videos.


 I did try it before I posted my question. It quits and says report
 this problem to yt-dl etc

Nevertheless, in general yt-dl is worth a try, even if it might not help 
with your special video stream. It gets updated very frequently.

R is good, and I love it.  However, fitting distributions is a pain,
 because you basically have to do it by hand.  So, I use EasyFit:

FWIW, easyfit runs quite well under the wine version supplied by
Fedora. As a test, I just downloaded it, double clicked on the installer 
which fired up wine, and now the test version works without obvious 
glitches (but I only tested it with some fake data).

You can do that directly from K3b. Google k3b video dvd should get you

In K3B I selected DVD video project and K3B gave me a Error message

the file i submitted is video.mp4 file.


Into a K3b video-dvd project, you cant't submit a video.mp4 file 
directly (I maybe corrected). K3b expects the transcoded VOB, IFO, BUP, 
... files in its VIDEO_TS directory.


So again, I recommend dvdstyler, which is not difficult to handle if you 
don't need complicated stuff like titles and menues in your dvd. Just 
start a new project, drop in your mp4 and click the burn button.

There you'll find an option to create an iso file for your video dvd.

What version of k3b are you using? I am on Fedora 20 KDE and using 2.0.2.

Do you get this error when you click New Video DVD Project in file menu? Where
is the Video.mp4 file saved? locally or on network?

File  New Project  New Video DVD Project

This will open a video DVD dialog in botton panel of k3b. You drag you video
file in the VIDEO_TS folder and hit burn.



I fear that does not work. See what goes into the VIDEO_TS folder:

I did just exactly what you said and got the small window and checked

the same Error message

DVD Styler is looking for DVD XML files only.

???
- Start a new project
- in the lower part of the project window you read:
  Drag here your video files from file browser
- burn

In the xml files you mentioned (or .dvds files) data from dvdstaler 
projects are stored.




I did get k3b to copy the video.mp4 file to the DVD and I can play it
with VLC.


Ok, this should work on your computer (but why then burn the mp4 on 
dvd?). It will not play on stand-alone video players.

As there was nothing else to do due to very bad weather conditions this 
afternoon, I dived into a kernel compile, following the guidelines in

What an effort in time and disk space just to change a few bytes of code!

CPU fan running at full speed

[Klaus-Peter Schrage]

As of updating to kernel-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64, the cpu fan (and 
probably the case fan too) continuously runs at full speed, right from 
the system start.
This behaviour is still present with the the most recent kernel 
3.15.6-200..., but it wasn't with the former version 3.14.8-200... (I 
re-checked this by downloading this package from Koji and manually 
installing it).


It's a desktop system with an Asus B85M-G board and an Intel i3-4330 CPU.

The symptoms might be similar to a recent bugzilla report, which hasn't 
been commented yet:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121331

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thank you, Mr. Fantomas, for your thorough analysis, which gave some 
insight even to me! But I can refrain from trying a kernel recompile 
which I last did a decade or so ago (although, as far as I can remember, 
this is not such a kind of rocket science as one might guess from the 
recent thread on new kernel  rebooting).


So I'll wait until a clever patch finds its way into the 
(Fedora-)kernel. Meanwhile I stick to the 3.14-kernel.

I get a large number of messages every day, in addition to those I
filter out and don't see.  Unfortunately, some of these messages

 seem to come in out of time sync, for one reason or another.
 I don't send everything on the incoming list to trash as soon as I
 read it. Some of the letters I keep for later reference. Some are
 tagged, some not.

emails are shown by time they arrive to you. when they are out of
time order, it is because of delays reaching your email provider.


Thunderbird's date colummn in fact seems to show the date the messages 
are sent. Your actual message, eg, is indicated in my date field as 
10:31 (my local time), whereas the received field shows 10:32, which 
correspondends to the respective entries in the message header.
If you want to sort your emails by date received, you can set this in 
the View | Sort by | Order Received-

I'm not sure if I completely understood the advice in this URL,
or rather you would apply it, as you say, with a Live CD.

As I understand it, I boot my Live Fedora USB stick,
open a terminal window and type
   grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I presume this is after mounting the /boot partition on my machine,
so perhaps this should be (?)
   grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Then I say
   grub2-install /dev/sda
or should this be
   grub2-install --directory=/mnt /dev/sda
?


Sorry for having been a bit unspecific.
So I try to recall what I did after an installation of Windows 7 to the 
place (/dev/sda1) where XP had resided before (you can't upgrade from XP 
to 7, it has to be a fresh install).
This installation resulted in a loss of the grub2 boot menue, because 
the windows installer had overritten the mbr. So:

1. Booted from a Fedora Live medium (in fact, a USB stick)
2. Chose Troubleshooting, went directly to a console (not mounting
   anything on /mnt/sysimage, no chrooting)
3. As I had a seperate boot-partition on /dev/sda2, I gave:
mount /dev/sda2 /boot
4.  grub2-install /dev/sda
   (I didn't do grub2-mkconfig at this stage, that would not work
   properly, because the config files in /etc were not available).
5. Reboot

This gave me back the grub2 prompt with the option to boot into Fedora. 
I don't remember, if there was the an entry to boot into win7 ('Windows 
7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)', probably not, but now, from a running Fedora 
system, you can update the grub2 configuration by:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I rarely use Windows on my dual-boot Fedora-20/KDE laptop,
but I'd like to update Windows XP to Windows 7 now.

I found when I did this on a CentOS machine
I was unable to get back to Linux,
and had to re-install CentOS.
I don't understand why, as I had saved and re-installed the MBR.

Am I wrong in thinking that this should be sufficient?
If not, what else do I need to save?

I don't intend to make any partition changes.

All suggestions and advice gratefully received.



When I had this problem recently reinstalling grub2 from a live linux cd 
did the trick, see also:

The mail.comcast.net folder has the old emails they are the ones I
bought over from F18, and Thunderbird IS NOT Displaying Those so I can
not read them.

Just a shot in the dark (I had a similar problem when migrating TB from 
one install to another): What about permissions of the directory that 
you brought over from F18? Perhaps TB can't access it.
