error at bootup with packagekitd
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
hello,
When booting up I am seeing an error:
[ 42.705549] packagekitd[1249]: segfault at 8 ip 000055e54df483ea sp
00007ffdb2914ac0 error 4 in packagekitd[55e54df44000+28000]
This error may be slowing down my bootup, I believe, there is step in
bootup that is taking up more time than the rest.
Any ideas as to why this is happening. I am runninig Fedora Workstation
33, in dual boot with Windows 10. I am not noticing any effects on my
system, besides the error that is shown at bootup.
thank you,

Policy regarding opt-out telemetry and privacy
by Olivier Lemasle
Hi all,
I'm packaging Open Policy Agent [1] (OPA) for Fedora. However, with version 0.20.0, OPA added a telemetry service, enabled by default, reporting to a OPA-managed service the OPA version, a UUID and the build architecture (cf changelog [2] and privacy information [3])
I didn't find any Fedora policy regarding this kind of opt-out telemetry, so I asked the Fedora Packaging Commitee for advice [4]. I got advised to ask Fedora community on this mailing list.
So do you think it is ok to package OPA as is, or should I patch it to make telemetry opt-in by disabling it by default in the Fedora package?
More globally, what do you think should be done in Fedora packages when an upstream project includes a telemetry service?
Thank you & regards,

start a service after bluetooth
by Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,
I have a sound bar which is using bluetooth. My problem is that while my
machine (Fedora 33) starts and bluetooth is starting, it doesn't auto pair
and I have to click "connect" manually each boot.
So I'm trying to create a workaround. I've created a simple systemd file
which runs a script that uses bluetoothctl to pair between the two.
My systemd file looks like this:
[Unit]
Description=Fix Pulse Audio
After=bluetooth.target
Requisite=bluetooth.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fixaudio.sh
User=hetz
Type=Simple
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target bluetooth.target
My script (fixaudio.sh):
#!/bin/bash
sleep 3
echo "Trying to pair...."
rm -f /tmp/fix.log
bluetoothctl connect C4:30:18:A0:2F:33 > /tmp/fix.log
The problem: any time I try to restart the bluetooth service, it ignores
this systemd file (and yes, it's enabled and I ran systemctl daemon-reload)
I tried to edit the bluetooth.service file and add BindsTo=fix.service
(which is the name of the systemd file), but as soon as I ran the systemctl
daemon-reload - it restarted the bluetooth in a loop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Speech to text -

Is there a voice to text program that will work with Fedora Linux as
some of my friends have for their smart phones? It would not have to be
free to be considered.

Update chrome?
by Neal Becker
There are widely reported zero-days related to chrome, and chrome is
telling me "update" in the top right corner. If I do update outside of
dnf, will the next dnf update still be effective?
Thanks,
Neal

Grub2 Boot Menu Hidden in Fedora 33
by Stephen Morris
In Fedora 32 issuing the command sudo grub2-editenv - unset
auto_hide_menu would enable the display of the grub boot menu.
This does not work in Fedora 33. I did find some details on the net on
how to get the menu to display on the next boot, but that was not a
permanent solution.
In Fedora 33 is the only way to get the menu to permanently display to
edit /etc/grub.d/12_menu_auto_hide and change the timeout_style and
timeout settings within the else condition for the fastboot check? I
currently have the menu permanently displayed as a result of making this
modification.
regards,
Steve

fstrim for ESP on SSDs
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi,
I've been running with the fstrim.timer for years and recently noticed
that my ESP partition always reports the same amount for trimmed blocks
(512MB). It appears fstrim doesn't support FAT32 filesystems? Should I
use the "discard" option in fstab for /boot/efi ?
I know it's not a big issue since we seldom write the ESP after
installation except for /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv after updates (or
perhaps shim updates) but I'm wondering...
Thanks.

WRT networking, my block of static ip's is from att.com<http://att.com>
i have cascaded routers from att's pace unit to a netgear night hawk that does
port fwding for 53, 80 443 to the 10.0.0.101 sever.
i use the firewall on the att rtr limiting to the above ports to pass through.
the NH logs show connects to 53,80, & 443
i also cranked debug to 10 in named logging, but so far,...
lastly, as F32 comes w/iptables, i migrated to nftables.

F32 UEFI reboot complete OK if 'cold/hard'; but 'warm/soft' reboot
hangs after Grub menu entry is selected ?
by PGNet Dev
I've built up an older box (ASRock J1900D2Y mobo), on Fedora32 + kernel 5.8.18 + grub 2.04 (from F32 pkgs), booting UEFI.
I can cold boot -- or hard reboot -- the box, and it boots to desktop with no problems.
Afaict, everything's up & running without issue.
But,
on SOFT reboot -- via either `shutdown -r now` or `systemctl start reboot.target`,
the system DOES start the reboot.
UEFI boot passes to grub menu as usual, latest kernel is selected, and then ...
... nothing.
Just sits there. No further error logging, or progress -- even at serial console with kernel/systemd debug logging turned up.
A cold, power-cycling reboot immediately fixes the problem -- e.g., after an IPMI 'Reset', the system again boots fine.
Since cold boot is OK, seems kernel & initrd are ok.
Since the issue arises only AFTER grub menu's in the picture, it doesn't seem that BIOS/UEFI should be involved in any way.
Any hints as to where to dig around next? Or suggestions how to workaround?
