Recent kernels and USB keyboard/mouse connections
Fully updated F38 machine. (Installed from scratch using an XFCE live image) I have successfully been using a KVM switch between my machines for 6 months or more. "Some" recent kernels have introduced delays in switching and various forms of lockup. However the most recent kernel vmlinuz-6.4.4-200.fc38.x86_64 has caused complete freezes of the machine, the only way out being a physical power off. (I am writing this using kernel 6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64 which seems OK) During a "switch/freeze" journalctl shows very nasty errors given below. Has anyone seen anything similar or any thoughts about the problem?

The suggestion I was referring to was https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2022/09/10/warning-bug-in-latest-pipewire-packages-for-fedora-36/ Where it clearly says dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.49-1.fc36 NOT 0.3.29-1 - sorry As I have my own local repo the rpm and dependencies were picked up from there. dnf recognised it as a downgrade and just did it. Downgrading: pipewirex86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 39 k pipewire-alsa x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 62 k pipewire-gstreamer x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 61 k pipewire-libs x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 1.6 M pipewire-pulseaudio x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 28 k pipewire-utils x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 327 k I repeat that in my case this was not needed, with kernel 5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 and pipewire-0.3.58-1.fc36.x86_64 all is well.

I use an XFCE live USB stick as the source and "install to disk" to a second USB stick - 5 minutes. (after sorting out a custom ext4 layout) [All my machines are now UEFI so dual BIOS/UEFI boot not required] I would strongly recommend the Flash Voyager® GTX USB 3.1 such as https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Storage/USB-Drives/flash-voyager-gtx-3-1-config/p/CMFVYGTX3C-128GB Very fast and can be trimmed - you can tell it is slower than a SATA SSD but not enough to worry about in an emergency. I do the following as well but not certain this is still necessary. "dnf install dracut-config-generic To force a generic initramfs F33 This installs a single file /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/02-generic-image.conf hostonly="no" To force an existing kernel to use a "fully configured" initramfs file then dracut --regenerate-all --force Not checked F33 NB this will regenerate and over-write all /boot/initramfs* files Make copies first if required."

F32 nftables hiccups
I have been attempting to use nft/nftables
to blacklist ssh connections and have come across
two problems.
nftables-0.9.3-3.fc32.x86_64
kernel-5.7.8-200.fc32.x86_64
1. The "limit rate" syntax does not work correctly unless
the "burst" value is set.
counter add @saddr_rate { ip saddr timeout 2m limit rate over 4/minute burst
1 packets} counter \
update @saddr_blacklist { ip saddr timeout 10m } counter drop
2. The following syntax is not accepted by nft
update @connection_count { ip saddr ct count over 3 } \
add @saddr_blacklist { ip saddr timeout 1m } drop
nft_harting.nft:80:3-52: Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
update @connection_count { ip saddr ct count over 3 } \
^^
I have been following a Debian mail list (amongst many)
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/581964/create-dynamic-blacklist-with-nftables/582290#582290
which implies that both of the above should work with the kernel/nft F32
versions installed.
I attach the output of nft list ruleset
(with the offending rule "{ ip saddr ct count over 3 }" commented out)
(It includes the "set" definitions used above)
Can anyone see any deliberate mistakes?

Just a thought:
If you are using efi boot and BLS ("normal" fo F32) then try
commands of the form below.
You can change entries in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv directly as follows
Modify as required
Add a kernelopt
grub2-editenv - set "$(grub2-editenv - list | grep kernelopts) net.ifnames=0
biosdevname=0"
Remove a kernelopt
grub2-editenv - set "$(grub2-editenv - list | grep kernelopts | sed -e
's/rhgb//')"
grub2-editenv - set "$(grub2-editenv - list | grep kernelopts | sed -e
's/quiet//')"
Not my code but probably from this list.

The approach I have been using recently is to down load a live image (XFCE in my case) and save on a fast USB stick. Select something like "Install to Hard drive" when the Live image is booted. The install from a live XFCE image to a "clean" SSD only takes 2 or 3 mins. Boot the new installation. To avoid immediate dnf update, disable ... (can't remember what)!! // Then create a local repo. I use a network NFS repo site but I guess an external USB stick could be used. From my notes: dnf install createrepo_c#createrepo_c already present F31 To install a plugin dnf install python3-dnf-plugins* #Only installs python3-dnf-plugins-extras-common F31 dnf install python3-dnf-plugin-local#The vital one F31 // Create Local Repo, ...

Very little checking has been included - ie "is it being run as root" Hopefully the comments explain what it does! It can be used on any partition that has a fedora "root" installation, including the currently booted / device. AFAIK it can do no damage as it only copies files and creates directories and files that did not exist before.

Recent kernel upgrade & Radeon RX 5700 XT - Xorg crashes when evolution is invoked
Hi I have recently put together a new machine using an RX 5700 XT graphics card & X570 motherboard. I have been using it for about a month. My understanding is that kernel 5.3 provides "fuller" support for RX 5700 graphics With the 5.2 kernel (eg 5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64) it has been working fine. Only one resolution appeared available but it seemed to work OK xrandr shows Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080 default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1920x1080 77.00* Today's update to 5.3 (5.3.5-200.fc30.x86_64) causes Xorg to crash when evolution is used. Xorg restarts and returns the user to the login screen. Other applications seem to work OK google-chrome, google-earth, brave-browser, pcmanfm, xrandr now shows loads of different resolutions (but not that given above) Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 59.9660.0050.0059.9459.93 ... Further tests show that Logging in as "fred" and "su - ted" & running evolution as ted avoids the crash. Logging in as "fred" and "su - fred" & running evolution as fred crashes Xorg Any thoughts/advice?

My understanding is that grubby has been replaced for a standard install
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.orghttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BootLoaderSpecByDefault
Things that may be relevant:
1. Fresh install not an upgrade
2. No separate /boot partition
3. EFI boot of install media - hence EFI installation
4. No logical volumes anywhere on the SSD
5. BLS installation by default !?
I carried out a clean install of F30, it may well be different for an upgrade.
In my case the F30 boot using BLS was successful.
However, other F28/F29 installations on the same SSD were not detected.
This was because grub2-mkconfig uses os-prober which has problems.
As I am not interested in booting other OS than Fedora the
addition of the other Fedora to the boot menu is manageable.
Approach 1 - Older Approach
Generate a /etc/grub.d/40_custom file of the form
[root@naxos:/boot/efi/EFI/fedora]$ cat /etc/grub.d/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 'ja 29 custom ' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root

initrd /boot/initramfs-5.0.16-200.fc29.x86_64.img
}
Run grub2-mkconfig -o test and check things are looking good
replace /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg with this file if you are feeling
confident!
//---
Approach 2 - Try Using BLS approach
This should be safer than option 1 as no existing files are touched
Create a BLS file of the form
[root@naxos:/boot/efi/EFI/fedora]$ cat
/boot/loader/entries/ja_77d7a92bb0374635a7212709d7339559-5.0.17-

grub_users $grub_users
grub_arg --unrestricted
grub_class kernel
architecturex64
[root@naxos:/boot/efi/EFI/fedora]$
Copy the correct kernel files to the location shown in the file above
//---
The two options are not mutually exclusive - at least, not on my system!
I attach a very crude script that carries out Option 2 above
There is absolutely no warranty with this script!!
It may give some food for thought.
Again on my new F30 install, I do not think that grub2-mkconfig is not run when
a kernel
upgrade is installed.
Only a new config file is installed in the /boot/loader/entries directory.
(and the new kernel/initramfs [stored in /boot not a subdirectory]).
I have successfully run the script on "other partition" to root (/)
with a version of Fedora F27 or F29 installed on the particular partitions.
I have also run it on the booted root (/) partition.
mount |grep " / "[root@naxos:/etc/grub.d]$ mount |grep " / "

F30, XFCE google-earth-pro problem
I have a newly installed F30, XFCE system. google-earth-pro will run from a terminal (user fred) but has a 50 second startup and closedown time. Tests have shown that su - fred and then running google-earth-pro avoids the delay. env shows greatly fewer environmental variables are set in the "su - fred" case. This led to an alternative approach of un-setting some environmental variables. (without the "su - fred" step) unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR; unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS; google-earth-pro The delay is no longer present and google-earth-pro appears to run OK.

As root
blkid -c /dev/null will give you the partition UUIDs
ll /boot will give the kernel & initramfs versions available
The search line tells grub the partition on which the vmlinux & initramfs files
are to be found.
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root fe6b44f8-0f5a-41f3-a11a-142461c9fe6c
Lets call it "grub root".
The linux line selects the vmlinux version (and its location on the "grub root"
partition)
It also indicates which partition to mount as "/" (root)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
root=UUID=fe6b44f8-0f5a-41f3-a11a-142461c9fe6c
The initrd line selects the initramfs version (and its location on the "grub
root" device.
The different meaning for "root" is not helpful
They are the same partition in my case but this is not necessarily/usually true.

This has probably been done to death, but I now
have a BIOS & EFI bootable F30 USB Stick.
Works OK on an old BIOS Only laptop &
on m/c with EFI & compatibility mode.
No Guarantees!
From my notes
Update F30 2019_05_09
Once an efi bootable F30 USB stick has been created then:
Boot from it in efi mode
dnf [re]install grub2-pc only installs 3 files grub2-pc,
grub2-pc-modules, ...
grub2-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda install grub on the MBR (triple check
the USB stick sda)
//---
Create a Minamalist grub.cfg file
The UUIDs, kernel & initrd versions must be changed as required
Be prepared to re-create this file when a new kernel is created
//--
Remember these quotes "EOF_GRUB_CFG" inhibit variable substitution.
Remember "expand -t 4 filename" to prevent TABs being present in the heredoc.
"cat -T filename" shows TABs.
Move /boot/grub2/grub.temp to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg when satified with the
result!

Maybe
grub2-editenv - unset menu_auto_hide
grub2-editenv list To check
OR
Or hold the left SHIFT key during boot

Serious F29 Problem - For me!
I have a fully working (Clean Installed) F29 test machine which seems OK for some users (fred) who has a very small home directory. User home directories are NFS mounted from a Centos 7.5.1804 server I am using lightdm & XFCE on both F28 & F29 I login to F29 as me (ja) and the display locks up continually, the display can become smeared, applications freeze, ..., it is totally unusable - core dumping maybe. I login to XFCE as another user (fred) and su - ja and run applications with no problems - evolution, google-chrome, pcmanfm, ... I conclude that there is something in my ~/.config or ~/.cache that F29 cannot handle during the login phase or shortly after. There are 11323 files in ~/.config and 5431 in ~/.cache Worse still when I return to my F28 machine as ja then problems are now present on that machine as well. Presumably ~/.config (maybe ~/.cache) has been corrupted by F29. I have to restore ~/.config (394MB) and once ~/.cache(532MB) from a backup before I have a usable F28 machine again. (and hence can send this email) I have tried things such as "find ~/.config -amin -3" to find changed files but nothing I have deleted/moved has helped. I have used journalctl -f and top I have seen xfce4-panel, xfsettingsd, xfdesktop seg fault (libgdk-3) At one stage I thought "setenforce 0" helped but now not convinced. Has anyone else seen this problem or has some suggestion for better ways of trouble shooting? I am loathe to have to re-create all those settings in ~/.config Struggling! ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Clean Install of F29 problems
I have made a clean installed of F29 onto a small SSD and had a few problems which may be of interest. 1. It was necessary to separately dd and recreate the required partitions using gdisk to get the installer to accept a custom layout. The installer would not let me use the existing partitions. 2. A fatal dnf error during installation of tex-fonts-hebrew rpm required a complete start from scratch avoiding this particular rpm. (Another 2.5GB download) 3. I have been using _dnf_local and a local F29 repo for several releases Having set things up as previously the two repos give these errors. Any hints as to what I have missed with the repos would be very useful.

This was it for this stick - "BIOS" & "EFI" boot partitions. All my machines have compatibility mode for booting. F27 was installed on this stick on a machine with EFI but "BIOS" mode was selected/forced during installation. I have just re-tested the stick It will boot on a 10 year old laptop with dual AMD Althon & only USB2. Also on Intel i7-6700K machine using "BIOS" mode.
