dnf update finishes and I'm logged out?
I'm in my FVWM session, I run dnf update to get new kernel and other updates installed, I watch akmod update the nvidia driver, and I'm about to type reboot to get new kernel when suddenly *poof*, I'm logged out and the sddm login screen is displayed.

saving backward compatibility :-)
I'd wager there are shell scripts using fgrep that were written on the first pdp-11 unix and are still in use today, but appeasing someone's OCD is more important than backward compatibility for tens of thousands of systems all over the world. OK fine, I know I'll lose any argument here, so I've used my "big hammer" to write some new scripts to fix the issues I've found so far: https://tomhorsley.com/game/Mjolnir.html Whenever a dnf update brings back the stderr message for egrep and fgrep, I've got a script that copies the egrep and fgrep from fedora 37 that I saved off back over the top of the egrep and fgrep scripts in /usr/bin :-). No more annoying stderr spew. Also the -p and -i options of uname were broken, so another script I have notices if uname stops working again and moves the new /usr/bin/uname to /usr/bin/uname.real and copies in a unmae script that swaps a -i or -p option to be -m instead then invokes uname.real At least my sanity is saved :-). ___ 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

Re: Running VirtualBox Crashes Other Apps
This is unlikely to be the problem, but it is a fun story: Many years ago there was a bug in the KVM kernel code that failed to correctly context switch all the registers in virtual machines. In this case, the somewhat obscure debug registers. So if I was running debugger tests inside a virtual machine, and the test was using a address trap (where the debug registers can be set to generate an interrupt when you reference a specific memory location), then sometimes programs running on the host machine would get the address trap if they referenced that memory address :-). After much head scratching I managed to produce a test case that could trigger the bug nearly instantly and reported the bug, which was actually fixed. I suppose the virtual box kernel code might have introduced such a bug, but that's probably unlikely. ___ 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

Sometimes you have to put the device you are trying to connect to into some special mode before it will show up, and the way you do that isn't indicated on the device anywhere so you have to spend an hour finding a copy of the manual on the internet so you can search it for another hour to find the instructions :-).

For source rpms you need to setup a ~/.rpmmacros file to tell it where to put the unpacked source, then a command like rpm -ihv whatever.src.rpm will install a bunch of tar files in the install directory, then you'll need to go to the SPECS directory where the source was installed do something like rpmbuild -bp cdrkit.spec which will unpack all the source and apply all the patches so you can actually examine the source files. (Lots of other options on rpmbuild).

My best theory is that the kernel doesn't properly reset the device from scratch, but assumes it was left in some state which the old kernel didn't leave it in.

Yea, it always speaks to grub when I hit enter to stop the boot timer and go ahead and boot. The only times I've ever noticed it fail is after a reboot to a new kernel. I sometimes reboot for other reasons and none of those have ever made the dongle fail.

There is a screen shot attached to the bugzilla. It would be a very unusual hardware issue since it doesn't happen when I boot fedora 36, but does when I boot fedora 37.

blocks of random characters spewed during boot?
New f37 install. Turned off rhgb and quiet boot options. Now interspersed with the "normal" boot messages, I get blocks of strange gibberish characters spewed on the screen from time to time, like something just wrote a bunch of random binary data. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it sure is strange.

The innards of the iso image were different from f36. I can boot
the .iso file itself directly from a grub2 entry with a little
work. I've got a directory named "images" in a partition with the
UUID of 7ad8f114-5b24-47bb-86c6-0b229519d76c and I use this grub2
gibberish:
set data_usb_uuid="7ad8f114-5b24-47bb-86c6-0b229519d76c"
function set_data_usb_root {
insmod ext2
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
load_env bootvid
set root='hd0,msdos2'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ${data_usb_uuid}
}
menuentry 'Fedora Workstation Live 64-bit 37 (1.7)' {
set_data_usb_root
set isofile="/images/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso"
loopback loop "$isofile"
linux (loop)/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-37-1-7
iso-scan/filename="$isofile" rd.live.image
initrd (loop)/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
}
This is all actually on a USB stick where I have grub installed,
but with appropriate modification to uuid and partition numbers
(from the hd0,msdos2 thing) it should work from a hard disk as well.
I've got a slew of different iso files on the USB stick and menu
entries for all of them, so it is handy to do installs as well
as rescue operations. Takes a while to get it set up and working,
but is quite useful once it works. I used this info to build it:

Figured it out. I loop mounted the iso file and found a grub.cfg file
and interpolated the info in there to make this entry for booting the
f37 iso file off disk:
menuentry 'Fedora Workstation Live 64-bit 37 (1.7)' {
set_data_usb_root
set isofile="/images/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso"
loopback loop "$isofile"
linux (loop)/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ${bootvid}
root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-37-1-7 iso-scan/filename="$isofile"
rd.live.image
initrd (loop)/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
}
Mostly just some directory name chages inside the image.
Now I can boot yet another iso image from the collection I have
on my handy utility usb stick.

boot fedora 37 iso image file from grub2?
For Fedora 36 this magical nonsense works to boot the iso image
file stashed on a usb stick:
set data_usb_uuid="7ad8f114-5b24-47bb-86c6-0b229519d76c"
function set_data_usb_root {
insmod ext2
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
load_env bootvid
set root='hd0,msdos2'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ${data_usb_uuid}
}
menuentry 'Fedora Workstation Live 64-bit 36 (1.5)' {
set_data_usb_root
set isofile="/images/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso"
loopback loop "$isofile"
linux (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz ${bootvid}
root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-36-1-5 iso-scan/filename="$isofile"
rd.live.image
initrd (loop)/isolinux/initrd.img
}
If I try the same thing with the Fedora 37 iso image file (looking up
the CDLABEL to use via the isoinfo tool), it doesn't work. I guess
the entire internal structure of the iso image is now different?
(Something to do with getting rid of syslinux maybe?)
Anyone know the proper incantation to boot the iso image directly
via grub2?

Re: New kernel install had issues. (6.0.5-200.fc36.x86_64)
Slight weirdness for me too. Probably the first time since I installed 6.0.5 I tried to play a youtube video and got no sound (HDMI via rpmfusion nvidia driver). I tried to reboot to go back one kernel version and see if sound worked there, and the reboot blanked the screen, but then was stuck. I eventually power cycled the computer and it came back up OK and sound did work on the previous kernel. At this point I rebooted (which worked) and went back to 6.0.5 and sound was working fine again. So something about a complete power down seems to have made it better. ___ 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
