by François Patte 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

Bonjour, Since I upgraded to f38 it is impossible to connect to a machine using ssh rsa-key.... the file .ssh/authorized_keys has not change, but any remote connection to this machine asks for a password.... Is there something to change with selinux? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte FSF https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-from…

window sharing broken with current F38+kde+wayland
by Neal Becker 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

For online meetings I have always used share window (as opposed to sharing a chrome tab or entire screen). Recently this has been broken. Using current F38+kde+wayland. Tested on teams and on google meet (same interface, must be part of KDE I think). If I select a window to share the tab for that window on the task manager disappears, which gives me no way to move my cursor to that window and do the presentation. I find share a screen still works fine, and I guess I'll have to use that for now. Seems some recent change. Along with it also there is a change to the way the dialog for sharing appears, and for some reason you need to go through 2 different dialogs the confirm sharing 2 times. This again is a recent change. Any ideas? Thanks, Neal

Creating a bridge
by Alex 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

Hi, I've just installed fedora38 over my previous fedora install but didn't save my network config that included a bridge to allow for local IPs for my virtual machines. Is there a network tool that I can use to create a bridge so I can then use the bridge option with virt-manager to assign IPs to my Win10 virtual machine? I'm used to doing the old-school network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 stuff by hand, but realize that doesn't exist anymore. Perhaps someone has a basic /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections bridge config they could paste here to get me started or the proper nmcli commands I need? I suppose I could probably also use NAT, but I'd rather have my gateway doing the NAT. # ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether c8:7f:54:cd:b7:bc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.7/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp4s0 valid_lft 31976sec preferred_lft 31976sec inet6 fe80::ca7f:54ff:fecd:b7bc/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: wlo1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 4a:d4:02:42:a2:2e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr 2c:3b:70:47:ce:08 altname wlp5s0 4: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:c8:a0:df brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global virbr0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Thanks, Alex

Android Nearby Share?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

Does anyone know if there's a way to get Android's Nearby Share feature to work on Linux? Apparently the Google code is on GitHub and has a free license (Apache 2.0), but I don't see anything in the Fedora repos. poc

Copy Paste using whatsapp web on firefox doesn't work
by ogio.spam 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

Hi all, I'm not sure who is responsible but the situation is like that: 1. WhatsApp web opened 2. Select text from a chat, ctrl-c or "menu copy" 3. Paste in another chat (ctrl-v or paste) works well 4. Paste in other application works well 5. Select text from another app 6. Paste in a chat doesn't work 7. Copy from another tab in firefox and paste in a chat doesn't work Same test on google-chrome is working perfectly As I don't know how whatsapp web is working, there is a simple way to remove all information about whatsapp from firefox and restart it? As you think, where I can issue a bug report? Regards Ambrogio

dnf install stuck
by Mike Wright 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

Hi all, 2 f38 hosts. 1 dnf install xxx works fine. Very fast. 2) spins forever: dnf.log shows Error during transfer: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for https://mirrors.fedo... Web searches show this to be common. It also showed the cures to "just wait", reboot, "try it again". Nothing definitive. Any body know how to move on from here? TIA

More hibernation mystery
by Patrick O'Callaghan 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

I have set up a nightly hibernation routine (see below) but it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It appears to be completely random. When I invoke it manually, via 'systemctl hibernate' it invariably works. $ systemctl status hibernate-preparation hibernate-resume ○ hibernate-preparation.service - Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-preparation.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) ○ hibernate-resume.service - Disable swap after resuming from hibernation Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-resume.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) $ cat hibernate-preparation.service [Unit] Description=Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Before=systemd-hibernate.service [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /usr/sbin/swapon /SWAP/swapfile && /usr/sbin/swapoff /dev/zram0 [Install] WantedBy=systemd-hibernate.service $ cat hibernate-resume.service [Unit] Description=Disable swap after resuming from hibernation After=hibernate.target [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/swapoff /SWAP/swapfile [Install] WantedBy=hibernate.target When it fails, I get this in the journal: Aug 13 01:05:25 Bree systemd[1]: Reached target sleep.target - Sleep.

Any thoughts? poc

recommended key pair encryption
by Mike Wright 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hi all, I recall a discussion that may have said RSA was not being accepted in f38 and a different type was being preferred, possibly ecdsa? Can anybody point me to that? (date or subject would help me search) I generated an ECDSA pair. The public key seems awfully short. Thanks
