btrfs send command - why do I get these long times?
People, For decades I have been using rsync for all my backup needs - but with F40 I finally made the break from extx to btrfs for my workstation which introduced me to the concept of btrfs subvolumes and the possibility of snapshots. Since subvolumes don't provide security if the whole partition crashes, I have been experimenting with using btrfs "send" the created snapshots to another partition - and from there to separate backup drives and other computers. Here I made three snapshots of / on my workstation, making trivial changes to /etc/hosts between each snapshot and then finally sending all three snapshots to the /home dir ie: # for subvol in /z_btrfs_ss/*; do time btrfs send $subvol | btrfs receive /home/z_btrfs_ss/ ; done At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022356 At subvol root_20240609_022356 real14m2.764s user0m1.405s sys 0m51.704s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_022807 At subvol root_20240609_022807 real8m58.384s user0m1.499s sys 0m59.899s At subvol /z_btrfs_ss/root_20240609_035045 At subvol root_20240609_035045 real5m53.532s user0m1.472s sys 1m0.015s What I don't understand is that when creating the snapshots originally, the time to create them is almost zero but when using btrfs send to the other partition the times are _much_ longer.

I would never consider a btrfs subvolume a suitable location for a backup. The btrfs snapshots provide a way to go back in time after data are lost due to a software glitch or command-line typo. Using a subvolume, when the drive fails, both the original and backups may be lost. If a drive is close to failure, a linux install often pushes it over the edge (due to amount of activity), so I like to make sure backups are good before an upgrade or install. OK - things to think about (thanks for that!) - but my immediate question has not been answered - is it actually possible to re-install from a Live-USB while preserving what is in the /backup subvolume - like I used to do with the ext4 /home partition or will the zubvolume get zapped?

Specialized in SMBs (Small/Medium Businesses), since I'd observed they get screwed by the consulting firms. Good work! Since that time, I've done much less software development. Why? How many times can I rewrite the same solution, in different languages, for the same problems? That got tiring. I'm not saying that you shouldn't go for it--you *haven't* gone through my decades of development, and it's amazingly rewarding when you get in the groove. Yes, I used to love building kernels etc too but after a while you do get short of time and resort to just "getting stuff done" as quickly as possible . . I guess we all have fantasy jobs though eh?

Exactly! +1 Thanks to all the devs and code maintainers who make Fedora a possibility for a dweeb lile me!! You guys and gals ROCK!! From me too! - have loved this FOSS space for a long time! I re-wrote "cut" and "paste" and submitted them to Gnu back in the '80s. It was both gratifying and amazingly painful (BTL lawyers were not best pleased. Fortunately, I did it "by the book"--got permission from my BTL consultant manager, made sure I didn't look at the original source code, etc.) so I ended up clean. Open Source is the way to keep things moving and surviving. If you want to get into it, DO IT! Good work! - In the early days I helped debug the SCSI controller but that was about my limit of "serious" stuff . . Kudos to all involved with this discovery and fix! Regards, Phil.

Is this possible?: Convert /dev/sdd[1-5] Ext4 => /dev/sdd [btrfs - whole disk] - without losing data in sdd5 (old /home)
People, I have been using Fedora since Core 1 and still have the old HDs and I have kept using ext[234] FSs just for simplicity / consistency up to the current time (F39) - but now I want to experiment with btrfs and I was thinking I could go through the exercise of converting an old SATA boot drive where I am still using /dev/sdd5 (the old /home partition) as one of a few backup partitions / drives for current live data from my workstation and some small servers. At first I was thinking I could delete ext4 parts 1-4, replace them with a new btrfs partition and then maybe somehow use btrfs-convert to integrate the remaining ext4 part 5 into the new part 1? . . but what I really want to do is create a new btrfs using the _whole_ of the disk - but somehow avoid having to spend a LONG time copying back about 4TB (to the 8TB drive) - the only way I could see that possibility working is to somehow do a recovery on the rest of the disk after the newly-created btrfs only takes up part of the beginning of the disk but leaves the old ext4 dirs and files recoverable somehow from near the beginning of the disk to just past halfway on the disk . . This is just an interesting idea for experimenting with - it is not the end of the world if it is not possible or if it might be possible but difficult and I crash the drive in the experiment . . Any feedback / comments from HD gurus appreciated!

Installed Fedora 38 (sway) / grub2 on a new HD - boots OK but does not have a menuentry item in grub.cfg ?
People,
My Fedora WS has 4 drive bays and I access old boot and other HDs in
bays 2-4. I just did a clean install of Fedora Sway to /dev/sda -
everything is fine and the system boots OK but I am confused:
- cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="38 (Sway)"
.
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 38 (Sway)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180"
.
VARIANT="Sway"
VARIANT_ID=sway
- The install picked up old Fedora boot setups which show up in
/boot/grub2/grub.conf like this:
menuentry 'Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) (on /dev/sde3)' --class
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'osprober-gnulinux-/boot/vmlinuz-6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64--f6f43412-e6ed-4dff-808b-fe013691c3b6'
{
- but why is there is not a line like this in /boot/grub2/grub.conf for
Fedora 38 Sway?
I can see that the appropriate other Sway files are in the /boot tree so
I am guessing that grub2 somehow knows the proper, default boot image -
even though the default does not have a menuentry in grub.cfg?
A pointer to a link for info would be great . .
Thanks!
Phil.

Trying to install from ISO via grub.cfg - almost there?
People,
My old Zenbook has problems running LiveUSBs so I generally use dnf
updates but the last update to F36 has caused problems with audio that I
can't resolve so I want to do a clean install and have been trying to do
this via running the iso from a grub2 config by adding stuff to
40_custom:
#!/usr/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply
type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to
change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "Fedora 36" --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu
--class os {
rmmod tpm
set iso_label="Fedora-36"
set iso_file="Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,gpt5)/$iso_file # sda5 is my home partition
that I preserve between updates
set root=(loop)
linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=$iso_file
root=live:CDLABEL=$iso_label ro rd.live.image
initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img
}
This actually boots but eventually grinds to a halt with:
/run/initramfs/isoscan: unknown file system type 'swap'
dmesg may have more info . .
EXT4-fs (sda5) mounted file system with ordered data mode. Quota mode:
none.
loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 4325276
Then lots of:
dracut-initqueue[627]: Warning: . . .
"
Emergency mode . .
And a suggestion to save and look at:
/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt
Can anyone suggest what the problem is and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Phil.

Jerky scrolling in Chrome, FF, Brave, VimB
People, I have had a reasonably powerful PC for the last few Fedora versions: i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 8 core 32GB RAM 40GB Swap 50% free on 4TB Seagate drive and even though the PC seems unloaded according to Glances eg: < 40% CPU loading < 80 RAM used ~ 1% Swap used - Disk IO minimal I still have problems using the up / down cursor keys, PgUp / PgDn keys, mouse wheel for moving around on web pages - there is usually a second or more delay and then a jump . . Admittedly I do tend to load up the browsers with multiple windows and tabs but if the system still seems unloaded, why is there the jerkiness? Prior versions of Fedora were XFCE4, current F34 is Wayland and Sway but the problem has been there over multiple versions . .

Before you plug it in, open a command line and run: dmesg Open another command line window, plug it in, and run dmesg in the second window. Now you can compare the messages at the end of each dump against each other. It is simpler to just: tail -f /var/log/messages If it recognised the hardware, you should get some information about it.

F33 => F34 - gphoto2 not working?
People, Upgrading from: F33 / Xorg / XFCE to: F34 / Wayland / Sway seems to have caused gphoto2 to stop working (it does not discover any device plugged into a USB port) when I plug in my GoPro Black 4 now. I can't see why Wayland and Sway would make a difference - what else could it be? I used to be able to plug the camera in, see the red light for charging, wait until it was fully charged and the light went out and then push the button to get the USB connection. I am not 100% sure but the little LCD screen seems to be displaying something different now - a power plug icon plus the USB icon - I seem to remember it was different before but Googling didn't help . .

You might consider: Using alt-tab to switch between windows/applications instead of clicking on a taskbar? If the default alt-tab isn't to your liking (by default it lists all applications and windows in those applications seperately) you can change it to do every window instead. Alt-TAB does not work the same way as in XFCE4 - it looks like I could do what I usually do with: Alt-TAB Alt-` but that is a two-step process. Hit the 'meta' key (the windows key on many keyboards) to go to the overview and all your apps, workspaces are shown there. You can even hit meta and type the first part of whatever you are looking for is, and if it's running, it will take you directly to it (ie, 'fire' return, takes me to my firefox window. more shortcuts at Very clumsy . . https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en As mentioned above, I did find that and it helped a little . .

I am on a desktop top and hate having to touch the mouse unnecessarily . . Finally if that doesn't work, you could look at extensions. There's likely extensions that do what you like. See https://extensions.gnome.org I would advise trying to adjust your workflow to use keyboard or overview thought. That way you avoid extensions that might break and it actually (IMHO) ends up being easier in the end. I will check them out - thanks!

I personally don't see the benefit of it, but you can either install the Gnome Classic session (gnome-classic-session) and pick that at login or you can install the Window List extension (gnome-shell-extension-window-list) and enable it.

Mostly because I have been wanting to use Wayland for a long time but it is not supported by XFCE4 yet . . I will probably look at going back to XFCE4 when Wayland is supported . . P. Did you consider the opposite? I'm using fvwm and i'm waiting when Wayland will support emulating X11. ;-) Hmm . . interesting . . Thanks!
