Runing Android apps?
by Frederic Muller 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hi! I'm searched and found Andox, followed the more extensive tutorial and still doesn't get to even start (which covers Andox on Fedora 30). I am getting [session_manager.cpp:133@operator()] Failed to start as either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded. I was wondering if there was any simpler way to run just 1 'single' android app on F36? Note that the app uses BT to gather one external device information, in case that matters. Thank you. Fred

Questioned on orphaned package? aespipe orphaned but it compiles fine??
by Michael D. Setzer II 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Was recommended to run package-cleanup --orphans Originally it found about 240 older files from previous versions of linux an I've cleaned most out after doing checks. Running command now (-v 7.3 is due to having LibreOffice 7.3 installed from libreoffie site that has them listed). Some are packages loaded directly from rpm files, and glade3 ones show lots of other things would be removed. Issue is with aespipe. package-cleanup --orphans | grep -v 7.3 aespipe-0:2.4f-1.fc33.x86_64 glade3-libgladeui-2:3.8.6-8.fc32.x86_64 glade3-libgladeui-devel-2:3.8.6-8.fc32.x86_64 msttcorefonts-0:2.5-1.noarch peazip-0:8.7.0.LINUX.GTK2-1.x86_64 reiserfs-utils-2:3.6.27-4.fc34.x86_64 uni2ascii-0:4.18-3.1.x86_64 xpr-0:1.0.5-2.fc34.x86_64 Have question on aespipe. aespipe-2.4f-1.fc33.x86_64 78544 Aug 10 2020 /usr/bin/aespipe Found a bugzilla report that shows it failed to compile with Fedora 34, and would be removed?? Just downloaded it from site and compiled it just fine on Fedora 35. ./aespipe --version usage: ./aespipe [options] <inputfile >outputfile version 2.4f Copyright (c) 2002-2019 Jari Ruusu, (c) 2001 Dr Brian Gladman compiling and then running strip on it result in 72240 Jul 2 04:21 aespipe So, not sure what the compile errors where, and since it showed as closed couldn't make comments. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Cleaning /var/lib/dnf/yumdb
by Michael D. Setzer II 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Are files in /var/lib/dnf/yumdb of any use?? Dates of files and directories seem to all be June 20 2019 and seem to be for Fedora 29 and earlier. Machine is currently running Fedora 35?? Is there a command to clean them correctly. Are the just leftovers from pervious versions. dnf autoremove didn't do anything. du . shows total size as 42620 . Was doing a search from files from / and saw a number of old files in results. Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Quesion on package-cleanup --orphans
by Michael D. Setzer II 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Noticed that running package-cleanup --orphans It gives a list of packages that are not part of the current repos list rather than being just orphaned packages by Fedora.. Created a little script to get various counts. cat package-cleanup-check echo "list of all orphans count" package-cleanup --orphans |wc -l echo "list of orphans linked to .fc repos" package-cleanup --orphans | grep "\.fc" |wc -l echo "list of orphans/non-fedora packages?" package-cleanup --orphans | grep -v "\.fc" |wc -l For me, it shows 284 on the regular run. Get 237 when I have it only include ones with "\.fc" That then has 47 that are not Fedora packages. Of those 47, 43 are linked to libreoffice 7.3 that is installed from site for testing. These are the other 4 packages. msttcorefonts-0:2.5-1.noarch peazip-0:8.7.0.LINUX.GTK2-1.x86_64 uni2ascii-0:4.18-3.1.x86_64 viber-0:13.3.1.22-2.x86_64 Not sure why it lists packages from non-Fedora repos as orphans? Don't know if the "\.fc" filter is best option.. Just interesting. Don't know if these means I should remove the 237 orphans. Only see the aespipe one as something I know I use?? Thanks. Output from my little script. ./package-cleanup-check list of all orphans count Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:40 ago on Fri 01 Jul 2022 05:14:48 PM ChST. 284 list of orphans linked to .fc repos Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:43 ago on Fri 01 Jul 2022 05:14:48 PM ChST. 237 list of orphans/non-fedora packages?
