F38 install issues
by Matt Morgan
Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament to
how well Fedora works these days.
I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install F38
on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It booted
fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive.
I took about half of the 1TB SSD for Fedora, and told it to continue. Then
I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the computer had booted to the
USB drive again (it appeared). I removed the USB drive and rebooted again.
The system booted to Windows with no indication of a grub boot menu. The
drive was missing the space I'd reclaimed, so clearly that worked, at least
partly. But nothing I do seems to get it to boot linux or drop me at a grub
menu.
When I boot off the usb drive, it works, but I don't see any linux-related
files on the SSD. So basically it looks like the drive got partitioned, at
least partly, and the install didn't run. So I'm trying to run the install
again, but no combination of clicks is getting me what I want.
1) For "Installation Destination," I see "Error checking storage
configuration." I click on that, and it has the one device for me to
install to. At the bottom, it says "Error checking storage configuration."
When I "click for details," I get
---
The following erros were encountered when checking your storage
configuration. You can modify your storage layout or quit the installer.
Failed to find a suitable stage 1 device: EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type None.;
EFI System Partition cannot be of type ntfs.; EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ext4.;
EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System
Partition cannot be of type btrfs,; EFI System Partition must e mounted on
one of /boot/efi.
----
If I then go into "BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING" I do see a Btrfs volume,
labeled "fedora_locahost-live," of 460GB. It has "home" and "root"
subvolumes. It has no mountpoints for / and /home, but I can add them.
Still, I guess it wants me to tell it where to put /boot? What do I do?
For reference, when I look at the drive in BLIVET I see
device type format size label mountpoint
nvme0n1p1 partition efi 100MiB
nvme0n1p2 partition 16MiB
nvme0n1p3 partition ntfs 491.34GiB
nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live
nvme0n1p4 partition ntfs 662MiB
So the overall picture I'm getting is that the first install didn't finish
partitioning the drive (since I don't see anywhere for /boot) and didn't do
any of the install. But a) I'm not really confident in that assessment b) I
don't know what to do next, in any case. Is it nvwe0n1p2 where /boot was
meant to go?
Thanks,
Matt

unwanted login
by Beartooth
One of my F38 machines has taken to demanding that I login over
and over. I want not to have to login at all. (I'm the sole user, and at
home.) Fwiw, I'm running xscreensaver under Mate. Where and how do I
reconfigure?

Thanks, Stan. Finally, I was able to capture the log of

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

TPM Error on Warm Boot From F38
by Stephen Morris
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
