xdg-desktop-portal.service messages in system log
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 12 Oct '26

12 Oct '26

I notice some programs leading to this set of messages: systemd[4090]: graphical-session.target - Current graphical user session is inactive. systemd[4090]: Dependency failed for xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service. systemd[4090]: xdg-desktop-portal.service: Job xdg-desktop-portal.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. $ systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal * xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/xdg-desktop-portal.service; static) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d `-10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) I see this at system boot, when chromium/mythfrontend/vlc/thunderbird and probably others. Should this service be running? Is this a config issue here? I am on f44 using xfce. TIA -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Selinux errors in turbo mode
by Robert McBroom 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

With the latest updates to f43 The installation is having a lot of selinux errors. Many of them from systemd. They come so fast I can't capture the troubleshoot. Several iterations of fixfiles does not stop the errors. Both live and with restart. What can be done to fix?

bash history
by Dave Close 06 Oct '26

06 Oct '26

Not really history as in "!<number>" to select a previous command. But perhaps related. On most of my Fedora systems, bash remembers the last commands entered prior to a restart. After the system restarts, a new bash window shows the last previous command when I press the up-arrow key and multiple presses continue to show previous commands in reverse order. On one system only, nothing happens when I press that key. On that one system after I've entered commands, up-arrow shows the previous commands in reverse order as I expect. Except that it doesn't go back beyond the first new command after the restart. This happens on each new bash window on that system, even after other windows have started to respond to the up-arrow key. I presume some history file is being deleted as a byproduct of the restart. But I can't seem to find whatever option controls that behavior, perhaps because I haven't used the right name to search for it. It clearly isn't the .bash_history file as that file is present after a restart (though it doesn't appear to have been updated for months). Please clue me in. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave(a)compata.com dhclose(a)alumni.caltech.edu "Any fool can make something complicated.

QObject::disconnect: wildcard call disconnects from destroyed signal of WindowThemer::unnamed QRhiGles2: Failed to create temporary context QRhiGles2: Failed to create context Failed to create RHI (backend 2) Failed to initialize graphics backend for OpenGL. KCrash: Application 'filelight' crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 [1]+ Aborted (core dumped) filelight Running f43 with LXDE. Plasma won't load with OpenGL errors. dnf lists kde-desktop-environment as installed. What can I rebuild to get OpenGL working?
