Minor issue after upgrade to Fedora 38 with desktop icons??
by Michael D. Setzer II 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Updated my notebook from Fedora 37 to Fedora 38. Everything seems to go thru fine, but noticed two interesting issues. Desktop Icons with XFCE showed fine, but on first click on them, a message popped up asking to mark as executible. Checked and they all had the executible flag on, but each one came up with message 1st time. So minor issue? The second issue was two didn't work as they had in past. Looking at desktop file found they had \\\\ and \\ in command for the wine programs. Tried on command line and it failed. Had to just change \\\\'s to \\, and the \\'s to just \. Editted two files. Then tried again. Got prompted to mark them as executible, and now work as before? Just interesting?? +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

TPM Error on Warm Boot From F38
by Stephen Morris 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Hi, Since the last system update I have been getting TPM errors on every entry in my grub menu when I do a warm restart from F38, and this includes the menu entry for the kernel I used to boot into F38. I am getting multiple occurrences of the following message: error: ../../grub-core/commands/efi/tpm.c:150:unknown TPM error. I am also getting the message: error: ../../grub-core/net/net.c:1552:disk 'hd2,gpt7' not found. The second message doesn't make sense as that is the device that contains F38 that I had booted into before doing the restart, and the device I've booted into to send this email. I did do a bios firmware update about 6 weeks ago and had to update the efi keys so that I could boot into the nvidia drivers in F38, but I would have thought that if that was causing a problem it would have surfaced before now. When I get these errors, if I do a hard reset, by pressing the reset button on the front of the PC, then I can boot into any entry in the grub menu without issue. These errors prevent me from booting back into F38, Ubuntu and Windows. Can anyone suggest what I need to look at to try to determine why this error is occurring? regards, Steve

Too many Kernels at boot
by ToddAndMargo 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi All, Fedora 38 When I boot up, I get a bazillion kernel choices, most are not Fedora 38: Sorry for the flash. I could not turn it to turn off https://imgur.com/7Mi5E3W.png The extra kernels are from Fedora 37 and 36. This is what Fedora 38 says I have: $ rpm -qa kernel kernel-6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64 kernel-6.4.11-200.fc38.x86_64 kernel-6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64 Do I really have all those extra kernels? How do I clean things up? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
