I disagree with your 'fix' in using /var. Notwithstanding the anaconda installer's indications and instructions NOT TO, the installer always seems to WIPE the /var partition. Accordingly, you should use a symlink from /var/git (or in my case(s) /var/lib/mysql and /var/www/html) to somewhere else which will remain stable across a re-install. In my case I point these instances to an actual "physical" partition which is /misc, which allows me to easily back-up all the active 'stuff'. (It's really meta to describe a 'partition' on an SSD as 'physical'... but there we are.) Yes, it's a little more work on an actual re-install but I have some 'run-once' script lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which handles all of the stuff I would not remember how to do, much less remember to do... And Jeff, you should remember that it is spelt: Geoff

start services

Hello, Is there a way to start an installed fedora in rescue mode and then start the services one by one as fedora would have done in normal boot? Before the rescue mode was obtained by setting single-user Thanks. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com ===========================================================================

grub2-mkconfig

Hello, I am still stuck with my installation. Question Why grub2-mkconfig says Found Fedora Linux 36 (Workstation Edition) on /dev/sdb11 Found Fedora Linux 40 (Forty) on /dev/sdc3 Found Fedora Linux 36 (Workstation Edition) on /dev/mapper/VolSys_2-root Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ... done but in the generated file (grub.cfg) there is no reference to Fedora 40 or sdc3 In addition there are a lot of references to Linux 36 (Workstation Edition) on /dev/sdb11 ?

How to remove settings from a systemd unit file
by Sam Varshavchik 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

So I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why attempts to push via DAV to a git repo were failing. Eventually I succeeded in stracing the httpd process sto capture the request. It was getting an EROFS when it tried to write to the git repo. Amusing. To make a long story short, the culprit was: ProtectHome=read-only in /lib/systemd/system/httpd.service,(the git repo was in a directory inside a mounted /home partition). I tried using systemctl edit httpd And putting this in there: [Service] ProtectHome= However this apparently did not work. I threw in the towel and just edited /lib/systemd/system/httpd.service and commented this setting out, entirely, to finally fix this issue, and happy git pushing resumed. But how do I fix this so that the next apache update doesn't clobber this?

[Rawhide Test Week] DNF 5.2 2024-06-05 through 2024-06-11
by Sumantro Mukherjee 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hey Folks, Many of you by now know that in Fedora, we try to open up more opportunities to test upcoming features which are currently being developed. This time DNF team is working closely with Fedora QA to run the DNF 5.2 test week[0]. As a part of this test week, we will be specifically testing the system-upgrade feature. Previously, DNF would leverage DNF plug-ins to do system upgrade. This is now baked into DNF 5.2 and this test week will focus on testing that feature. Needless to say, we will also be testing the regular DNF features. You can always go ahead and submit the results here[1].

fstab
by Patrick Dupre 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Hello, With ext4 filesystems, I used to set ext4 noauto,errors=remount-ro 1 2 in the fstab. With btrfs FS it does not like the option errors=remount-ro mount: /mnt/backup_2: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. btrfs: Unknown parameter 'errors' Is there another option?

Installed Rawhide with btrfs; dnf system update to v40 has errors ; re-install from Live USB without affecting a non-root subvolume?
by Philip Rhoades 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

People, A while ago I was in a hurry to start using F40 (Sway) and installed Rawhide from a live usb to get started. Everything went pretty well and I had minimal problems up until after f40 was release. However now, when I tried to do a: dnf system upgrade download --releasever=40 I get a lot of errors - trying to do "dnf --erase" the problem rpms ends up making the problem worse. So, if I try to reinstall from the current f40 live usb - can I do that without touching the backup subvolume? ie: /dev/nvme0n1p3 btrfs 1,951,850,496 464,659,184 1,486,438,224 24% / /dev/nvme0n1p3 btrfs 1,951,850,496 464,659,184 1,486,438,224 24% /backup For decades I have just been using a separate partition for /home with ext[2|3|4] and this was conveniently not touched if I did a custom install to upgrade - I want to do something similar for this backup subvolume.
