too-nearly-full filesystem '/'. (was upgrade problem: space on '/' filesystem.)
by home user 01 Nov '19

(Fedora-30; x86-64; personal workstation) This problem goes back to last Thursday, so a brief review might be good. brief background ================ Last Thursday, I tried to upgrade from Fedora-29 to Fedora-30. dnf complained it didn't have enough space in the '/' filesystem. List members successfully got me through the upgrade. But the root problem(s) probably still remains. some data (all commands run this (Tuesday) afternoon, Oct. 15) ========= -bash.11[~]: df -hP Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 7.9G 76M 7.8G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 7.9G 1.7M 7.9G 1% /run tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda6 50G 41G 6.0G 88% / tmpfs 7.9G 68K 7.9G 1% /tmp /dev/sda3 477M 236M 213M 53% /boot /dev/sda7 904G 7.7G 851G 1% /home tmpfs 1.6G 84K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1001 -bash.12[~]: -bash.13[/]: du -sh | grep G du: cannot access './run/user/1001/gvfs': Permission denied du: cannot access './proc/1776/task/1776/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access './proc/1776/task/1776/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access './proc/1776/fd/3': No such file or directory du: cannot access './proc/1776/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory 49G . -bash.14[/]: -bash.14[/]: du -hx -d1 / 23G /var 4.0K /system-upgrade-root 4.0K /srv 17G /usr 16K /lost+found 51M /etc 4.0K /sysroot 4.0K /mnt 1.4G /root 4.0K /media 238M /opt 4.0K /.cache 41G / -bash.15[/]: starting questions ================== 1.

Failed to create a dual boot F31 windows 10 on Dell E5540
by Jouk Jansen 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hi All, I tried to make from my Dell lattitude E5540 running windows 10 a dual boot with F31. Intallation of F31 runned as expected apart form one point: I made a custom partion layout of the free space and it compalined that my BIOS needed a small biosboot partition (so I also created that one). However after the installation the machine was unbootable. I had to chande the boot mode in the bios form UEFI to legacy to get F31 booted. Windows 10 appeared not bootable anymore. What did I miss? How should I proceed to get a dual boot machine? Regards Jouk Pax, vel iniusta, utilior est quam iustissimum bellum. (free after Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 b.Chr.-46 b.Chr.)

Has system.config-users been discontinued with FC31?
by Erik P. Olsen 31 Oct '19

I can't find system-config-users in FC31. Is there a replacement for it? -- Erik P. Olsen - Copenhagen, Denmark Fedora 30/64 bit Linux xfce Claws-Mail POP3 Gramps 5.1.1

After updating to F31, I was playing with different display managers. Normally use KDE. I tried deepin, and liked it, but scaling seemed a bit off. I changed display scaling to 1.5. I was told I needed to logout/in for setting to take effect, which I did. Then login to deepin all I get is black screen with cursor. Tried login to kde. Same result. I finally was able to restore my .config directory from a backup (using CLI) and I'm back in business. My question for this group is, what happened? I wish I knew which config file got messed up so I could fix more easily. Thanks, Neal

/boot/efi on RAID-1 (mdraid)
by Sam Varshavchik 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

I installed F30 on a replacement server with two HDDs. My existing hardware earned its well-deserved retirement. My replacement hardware is the first server hardware I'm using that uses EFI and the GPT. I configured all my partitions with mdraid, including /boot/efi: /dev/md124 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077, codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=winnt,errors=remount-ro) /dev/md124: Version : 1.0 Creation Time : Sat Oct 26 20:49:42 2019 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 1049536 (1024.94 MiB 1074.72 MB) Used Dev Size : 1049536 (1024.94 MiB 1074.72 MB) [ . . . ] Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 4 0 active sync /dev/sda4 1 8 20 1 active sync /dev/sdb4 I want to make sure that in the event one of the disks fail I'll be able to boot off the other one. Are any additional steps needed for this, beyond the ones that were done by F30's installer? With BIOS I knew I needed to run grub-install to manually install grub on /dev/sdb in addition to /dev/sda; do I need to do anything analogous to that, with EFI?

USB WIFI adapters
by Robert McBroom 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

I've been searching for a USB WIFI adapter to allow my laptop to access the 5GHz band. The market seems to be dominated by Realtek but Fedora 29 doesn't seem to have drivers for the various chips. Found an adapter from BrosTrend that said it supported LINUX without noticing that the support was for the slow cycle DEBIAN. With a clue from support found the driver on github. I was successful in getting the driver from https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au to install on a Fedora 29 system with the 4.20 version of the kernel. Had to get the newer version from https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au for installation on a second Fedora 29 system running the 5.2 kernel. This version also installed on the newer 5.3 kernels.

Trouble connecting to a specific WiFi ssid (association timeout)
by cen 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi Up-to-date Fedora 30 Thinkpad x260, Intel wifi, wpa_supplicant v2.8 I got a brand new tp-link archer c6 and set up 2.4Ghz mixed ssid and 5Ghz ac/mixed ssid. I can connect to 5GHz just fine but 2.4GHz gives association timeout (see dmesg below). It just keeps asking for password every 20 seconds to infinity. This is the only 2.4 b/g/n ssid that I have trouble connecting with, ever. My android phone and 2 windows laptops can connect to this ssid just fine so there must be a very specific problem with my laptop/Fedora combo. I have yet to try with an unsecured ssid, that is next on the debug list, currently it is set to WPA2 personal/AES. Anything else I can try to solve this mystery?
