How about a systemd timer that is fired fired 10 minutes after boot. Its ExecStart could call a script that checks for a touched file ( a semaphore ).

On 7/4/24 11:37, Tim via users wrote: If you install other OSs, they should do something similar. You'd have something like: ... EFI/debian ... EFI/fedora Which should keep all the OSs separate from each other. If you wanted dual booting different versions of Fedora, without one stomping on the others files, it might be worth naming the directories more uniquely. I'm not sure if there's any straightforward way to do that. e.g. ... EFI/fedora39 ... EFI/fedora40 At first I thought something similar but that the 36, 40, etc would be subdirs of fedora. Not so... After some (a lot) searching I found bits that help understand what is going on. The efi spec is not helpful in describing the EFI structure but is more about the byte/bit layout of the motherboard's NVRAM. /boot/efi/EFI contains vendor directories and one generic called boot. Names are case insensitive. I've seen MICROSOFT, fedora, Fedora, Debian, debian, DEBIAN, boot, BOOT, and so on. Within each of the vendor directories there are efi binaries, and a bootx64.csv which tersely describes what is there. E.g. here's one for debian: shimx64.efi,debian,,This is the boot entry for debian Lastly, there is a config file specific to what each vendor uses. Most of the linux distros use grub so for those you will find grub.cfg. Whenever a vendor's product is installed successfully the system runs the os-prober and rebuilds, in our case, the grub.cfg, with menuentries for each that it finds. That is how multiple version co-exist: not as entries in EFI but as entries in the appropriate config file. There are a couple of levels in the boot process. First one is the BIOS which offers different devices, then proceeds to the loader that handles the selected device, which then runs that loader. That is the one that offers e.g. fedora36, fedora40, etc. -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

So how can we proceed when you want a dual (fedora/fedora, fedora/debian, fedora.ubuntu) boot on the same disk? EFI is designed to allow multiple diverse operating systems to co-exist on a drive. When you install an O/S the installer *somehow* makes an entry into the motherboard's NVRAM (non-volatile memory) which the BIOS uses to offer a boot selection. I *believe* that the nvram contains a pointer into the EFI table (list of folders) indicating which one to use for the boot. Caution: if you're going to multiboot don't set your BIOS to "fast" or "ultra-fast" boot or it will be difficult to impossible to interrupt the BIOS (F12, DELETE, whichever magic key that takes you to the BIOS) to make an O/S selection. It's probably a good idea to create the new partition manually *before* running anaconda. Then you can select it for the install location. Anaconda knows about EFI so it should be smart enough to create a unique entry in the mobo's nvram and create the /boot/efi/EFI entry automagically.. That's all to the best of my knowledge because I don't usually have multiple O/S's on my systems.

This one looks interesting. Harddrives are hdX starting at 0. Add a

menuentry "Boot from second disk" {
chainloader (hd1)+1
}
but changed to this:
menuentry "Boot from first harddisk" {
chainloader (hd0)+1
}
Give it a try and see what happens.

Whatever device is connected to it has a direct internet connection now. You might be able to access it if you can figure out the IP address. Do you remember what its IP address was before it went to bridge mode? If so, you can try setting the attached device to a static IP address in the same range and try to connect. 192.168.0.1 gets me to the router login page. I just cannot login any more. I have logged in before. My expectation is that I can get it out of bridge mode if I can login. The attached device is a Midco-supplied Tivo. I think I could get it to tell me its IP address, but I suspect it wouldn't matter, as I am not trying to connect my PC to the Tivo. Also the cable from my office to the Tivo in the living room would be a major tripping hazard. How do I figure out why I cannot login? Do you have access to the internet through the router? You've said you can ping but I've had situations where ping works but networking doesn't. I don't know how much you know about bridge mode but here's a quick explanation. What was previously your gateway address now becomes your wan's IP address (probably your first enpXXs0 or eth0). Your router's gateway address is now your gateway address. Your lan, probably a 192 something is not routable, so it's floating out there between your machine's new IP address and the gateway. Getting yourself setup as the customer end of the network might make the router happy enough to get you into it. Now I don't see how that affects your inability to login to the router but I do know when things get out of whack it can have mysterious side effects such as icmp works but tcp and udp don't. Once you reach a point where you can login getting out of bridge mode is just a couple of clicks. Does the Arris have any sort of *hard* reset? If so you may have luck reconfiguring the router yourself. It should default to NOT having passthru (bridge mode). Again, I'm not familiar with the Arris but many of these things have the default password on the device label. Verrry high security, that ;/ If all fails your provider can access the router from their end. How they do so is another mystery in itself.

This morning 'dnf upgrade' on one of my boxes installed the 470.239.06-2 versions of akmod and kmod, while the other box, having the -1 nersions, said there was 'nothing to do'; then packagekit found them and did a preliminary reboot before install. Both boxes now have the -2 versions installed and running. The process does take several minutes - and I did an "akmods --rebuild --force" just to make sure.

I have not had a root password on any distro since I can't recall. Oh, I remember, edit the command line and put it in runlevel 1. hahahaha! Grampa, what's a runlevel? I ended up booting off of a USB (ventoy is awesome!) to bring up some distro, mounted the borken system, did my magic, rebooted and was back in business.

One feature I make heavy use of is the ability to "shade" or roll windows up/down into/from the title bar.

Thus, it waits for all managed interfaces to be configured or failed, and for at least one to be online." Could it be that you have some additional interfaces configured, or half-configured, that it thinks it has to wait for? I have two network interfaces. Both of them fully come up. This system predates the introduction of systemd-networkd. It uses NetworkManager, which shows both interfaces as fully up: # nmcli conn show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE wan0 71e6ac4b-c693-4c20-aa0d-e1a63b7373fe ethernet eno2 lan0 d1a1ee90-f006-43bb-9cbf-175ad32f6565 ethernet eno1 lo65db7135-f18c-4598-b5ad-61a1475f41ee loopback lo Another thing that springs to mind, is do you have IPv6? And if not, is it waiting for it in vain? Both of these are IPv4 only. Both of these have static IP address assignments. There are no non-default IPv6 addresses on either of them. They do have the stock link-local IPv6 address that all interfaces get. That's it. There is no reason, whatsoever, why these network interfaces would not come up immediately. They do. I ssh into the box on one of these immediately after boot, and the Intertubes are there. "dnf remove systemd-networkd" says that it can be removed by itself, and it has no other dependencies. I have no idea how it got installed. This system's original install predated even NetworkManager's existence. Some dependency must've pulled in systemd-networkd at some point. Another data point is that the systemd-networkd main service is disabled. The real problem is that systemd-networkd-wait-online was enabled. I have no recollection of enabling it, I was completely unaware of it, until I noticed this breakage. DIsabled means the service can be manually started. You should mask the service if you don't want it to start automatically or manually. Because I prefer systemd-networkd for my management system I shutdown NetworkManager: disabled, stopped, masked, and all of a sudden my networks disappeared. Iit's bck! Reason is because .socket files will activate their corresponding service files REGARDLESS of masking or disabling. You have to check for sockets, too, and shut those down. So, it looks to me like the main issue is systemd-networkd-wait-online, and only systemd-networkd-wait-online was erroneously enabled, and – and this is the guesswork part – the systemd-verse had no network interfaces defined (all the network interfaces are managed by NetworkManager) and systemd- networkd-wait-online will, apparently, hang until it times out, waiting for network interfaces to come up, but none will ever come up because none have been configured.

Re: Fora vs. mailing lists
On 3/10/24 09:40, Thomas Cameron wrote: Quick definition: fora is the plural of forum, as in a web based forum to discuss a topic or technology, like https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/. Having said that... I love mailing lists. I have filters set up they silently go to the correct mail folder, I can read through them at my leisure, and I only have to deal with one client - my mail client. My mail client defaults to sane viewing rules, threaded, in the order I prefer. It's the same experience across every mailing list I'm a member of. I love that. It's very accessibility-friendly. I hate using fora. I generally have to open a separate tab for each forum I'm on, and I'm on a LOT. And I have to go out of my way to even remember all the fora I am a member of. For those of us who are members of a bunch, it's kind of a beating - especially if you're an ADHD person, like me. I get that I can (sometimes) set up email notifications when there are responses to my posts or comments, but... if we're already emailing forum members, why the heck don't we just use email lists? I also love that I see interesting problems on mailing lists that I'd never thought of or dealt with, and it's right there, in the list's mail folder. I learn a LOT perusing those messages. It's there, I can easily read through the threads when I get a minute. And I don't have to remember to fire up a new browser tab to parse them. The whole "fora are an archive" argument is kinda nonsensical, since mailing lists are generally archived on the web, as well. In my experience, mailing list archives are easier to search than a forum. I get the sense that moving from email lists to fora was a move to force folks to go to a web site to drive advertising. I kinda hate that. When Red Hat moved from email lists to fora (log in required), I got the sense that it was really to gather information about who was interacting with their web site. Ditto pretty much every other vendor who moved from email lists to web based fora - this isn't a Red Hat or Fedora specific thing. Am I the only one who feels this way? Has the day finally come where I'm just old and set in my ways? Are there others who prefer mailing lists to fora? To be clear, I am not bashing fora, per se - I'm just saying that for me, they're not NEARLY as easy to deal with as email lists. If you like fora, that's awesome. I'm not attacking you. Let's nip that in the bud. I'm not looking for a flame war, just trying to see if other feel the same way. Let's keep it civil. Thank you for posting this. I could not agree more. After Barry's post "Re: ghost town" I visited the forum. It's pretty. Lot of wasted space. When I opened a "thread" there didn't seem to be a way to close it. That lead to lots of scrolling. Lots. When I stretched my always open mail client to the same size as the forum I had more than 50 threads listed. The forum had eight. I can only speculate because I use a desktop vis-à-vis a cellphone so maybe I'm missing something that makes web forums easier and mailing lists more difficult for those users. But all in all, I concur with Thomas' well written opinion, especially his comment regarding list archives. If the mailing list were to atrophy from lack of users it would become useless to me and I would fade away from the Fedora scene.

Is it possible that the computer is seeing something at machine level like a mistakenly set or unset flag that makes the processor think that the stick is where to find the BIOS? It only does this on the laptop. It works fine on the desktop. Ok, because it's fine on the desktop I think it is safe to say that the media is not the problem. Since all you get is a grub prompt and it never moves beyound that wouldn't that indicate the BIOS is pointing to the wrong boot device and finding nothing there? Here is a tedious approach but seems the only way forward since having the device plugged in on boot leaves you unable to get to the BIOS. Unplug the USB device. Get into the BIOS and select the 1st boot device. Plug in the device and reboot... nada? Unplug and choose boot device #2. Rinse and repeat until there are no untried boot devices left. At that point you might want to consider handing your laptop's drive to the vendor and paying to have a recent fedora installed onto it. Good luck. This one has been a real stinker.

Also, disconnection might not work on a similar attack done with client-side scripting. In that case, I might have to directly kill a process. I can do that from another console, but do not know how to select the process of the rogue tab. What would happen if you disconnected from the network just long enough to change the settings on the browser to NOT open new pages in a tab but instead to do it the old-fashioned way: open new pages in their own window.

If all of the lines in the file need the same thing inserted into each

They are fine if I switch to LXDE or kde. What part of xfce needs to be reinstalled? The WindowManager takes care of borders and title bars, etc. The sizes and colors are determined by which theme the WindowManager is using. Xfce4 uses Settings->WindowManager. Once there select the Style tab. That gives you options for Title font and font-size, alignment, and buttons (Minimize, Maximize, Close, etc) and Themes. Try selecting a different theme than the one that is highlighted (the current setting). If that fixes the windows go ahead and click on the originally highlighted Theme and you should be back to where you started. If the WM is so badly hosed that doesn't work you could try restarting the WindowManager, which is probably "xfwm4". killall -HUP xfwm4 or pkill -HUP xfwm4 or kill -HUP $(pidof xfwm4) If none of that works a reboot might get whatever is tangled up straightened out. Finally you could just install xfwm4 again which will bring in anything that may have gone walkies on you. All of this is assuming that the fault lies with the window manager. In fact, if you're feeling adventurous you could even install a different window manager. There is no hard and fast rule tying a specific window manager to a desktop environment, which in your case is xfce4. Hope there is something there to help you out.

2. The command that I tried

One quirk of fireall-cmd is that there are two distinct modes - one that
operates on the stored configuration (with --permanent) and one that
operates on the running config (without --permanent). When you make a
change with --permanent, it is stored, and will take effect on future
boots, but it is not applied to the current config. You need to run the
same command without the --permanent to apply to the current running
config.
Alternately, you can make all your changes to the running config (no
--permanent), and then store them all at once with firewall-cmd
--runtime-to-permanent (but if you have something making dynamic
changes, like fail2ban for example, that would get stored as well). Or
you can make all your changes to the permanent config and then load them
to running all at once with firewall-cmd --reload.
didn't put anything in iptables, i.e. iptables --list shows no rules. On
the other hand, I do have this reject rule in /etc/firewalld/zones/
FedoraWorkstation.xml.
iptables only exists as a compat layer on top of nftables, and not
everything in nftables will be reflected in the output of iptables. To
see the full nftables running config use "nft list ruleset".
If you are going to use firewalld, you need to either _only_ use
firewalld, or use nft with separate rulesets along side the firewalld
managed rulesets. Trying to mix in iptables rules is unlikely to work
how you'd like.
Hi Chris,
All of firewalld's rules are contained in custom chains. iptables is
just a frontend to nftables so using iptables rather than nftables to
enter rules shouldn't really matter.
I tested this:
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.1.1/32 -j DROP
and it was translated to this nft rule:
table ip filter {
chain OUTPUT {
type filter hook output priority filter; policy accept;
ip daddr 192.168.1.1 counter packets 0 bytes 0 drop
}
}
The filter:OUTPUT chain is predefined and is unused by firewalld so I
can't see how using iptables and its predefined chains to get rules into
nftables would make any difference whatsoever. Now, if I were to try
mucking around with any of firewalld's custom chains without knowing
what I was doing I could definitely envision being bitten by the laws of
unintended consequences which, as we all know, have very sharp teeth.
Thanks for your post. It got me digging around in all sorts of
unfamiliar territory :m

The question at the end is: how do I cleanly remove the external USB

Clarification:
Note: the VG/LVs still exist and can be remounted by referring to them
with their physical names: /dev/cl/{root,home} or added to swap with

I need to clarify the dual meaning of "physical" in the above paragraph.
When a logical volume is created there is an entry created for it in
/dev/mapper of the form VGName--LVName, in effect a pseudo physical
device. When you need to refer to the LV using non-lvm tools you have
to use the full path: /dev/VG/LV. When using the lvm tools you need
only refer to its LVM style name: VG/LV.

Re: cannot remove disk if it has logical volumes
On 6/3/23 19:42, Eyal Lebedinsky wrote:
I am on f38, but I had this problem before with f36.
I attach an external USB disk that has CentOS.
I see that beyond the basic device and partitions, three other devices
/dev/dm-{0,1,2} show up.
Without doing anything else I want to remove the disk safely. I could
not do it, see below.
The question at the end is: how do I cleanly remove the external USB
disk. It is an SSD in a USB3.0 caddy.
This stays until a reboot. I have some cron jobs that log the state of
the machine and they raise errors in the log
from looking into these devices.
Hi Eyal,
Partition /dev/sdi2 is now a pv so you can't work with it as a physical;
you must work with it under the VG/LV names.
Remove the swap: swapoff /dev/cl/swap
Unmount root: umount /dev/cl/root
Unmount home: umount /dev/cl/home
Deactivate the LVs: vgchange --activate n cl (or vgchange -a n cl).
The deactivation step may not be necessary but it won't hurt to make sure.
All LVM stuff is cleared out. You must now refer to it by its physical
name.
Note: the VG/LVs still exist and can be remounted by referring to them
with their physical names: /dev/cl/{root,home} or added to swap with
swapon /dev/cl/swap.
eject /dev/sdi -- you may now safely remove your device.
Hope that explains everything clearly.
Mike Wright
