Hi, How many spell checking thingies are in place on a run-of-the-mill installation? I've forgotten which application it was, now, but the other day I was having to add ordinary words to the dictionary, as it was flagging up normal words as being incorrect. Words like: don't, won't, can't. Each time it fouled up at the apostrophe. I can understand odd words being unrecognised, but failing those ones were sheer stupidity. And, no it wasn't a case of ASCII apostrophe versus fancier UTF apostrophes. Not that it should foul up on them, either. If I type an apostrophe character, a correct one and not something that looks vaguely similar but is wrong (like the Brits using grave accents), the spell checkers should handle that. Now I want to track down the culprit. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 15:37:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

version of gsl

by Patrick Dupre

Hello, I have gsl-2.6-6.fc36.x86_64 installed. It is the version 2.6 of gsl? It seems that fc37 offers version gsl-2.6-7 If I understand gsl-2.7 is not offered by the distribution while gsl-2.7 has been updated in June 2021. Is there a reason for this lag?

logging network disconnections

by Tim

Hi, If I want to log loss of connections to my router, what's a good way of going about it? Adding a script in "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d"? Would that handle cases of loss of "internet connection" when it's not a loss of the physical link between the PC and network switch? ISP -- Router -- ethernet switch --> everything on my LAN Frequently things on my LAN (cabled) would stop working, some with error messages about "loss of internet" (e.g. firefox) others don't give error messages (e.g. internet media devices, like a bluray player with a YouTube app). I'm fairly certain it's a bad router. The ethernet switch is brand new and bought after the problems began. Logging into the router (and doing nothing more than log into it) would usually bring things back to life. When I'm using devices, it's fairly obvious to me that it's gone for a nap. I'm wondering how often things are going bad when I didn't notice. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 15:37:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

New error message when selecting Windows Boot Loader from the GRUB menu

by Scott Beamer

Greetings, After a recent Fedora 36 update, I'm getting an error message when selecting "Windows Boot Manager" from the GRUB menu. Instead of booting like it had previously, it gives me an almost blank screen with the following text in the upper left: /EndEntire And all I can do at that point is shut down and restart my computer, go to it's boot menu, and sekect Windows Boot Manager, in order to boot into Windows. I've been dual-booting Fedora 36 and Windows for weeks prior to this one without issue. Google hasn't been of much help. Any suggestions? TIA Scott

Does anyone know a way to specify that libraries be added to an initramfs?

by stan

dracut is not putting libraries like libmount and libblkid in the initramfs on my system for a few weeks now. Those initramfs' are not booting. Do you know a way to explicitly request that libraries be included in the initramfs? I haven't found a way in my research, and in fact that research says that if programs like mount are included in the initramfs, then the libraries needed by that executable will also be included automatically. But, it isn't happening. Which seems strange, since: $ ldd /usr/bin/mount /usr/bin/ldd: line 160: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error linux-vdso.so.1 => linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc9935e000) libmount.so.1 => /lib64/libmount.so.1 (0x00007fd3de77a000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007fd3de74a000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd3de572000) libblkid.so.1 => /lib64/libblkid.so.1 (0x00007fd3de532000) libpcre2-8.so.0 => /lib64/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007fd3de492000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd3de83a000) mount is included by default in the initramfs, yet, # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-5.19.0-0.rc4.20220701gita175eca0f3d7.36.20220727.fc37.x86_64.img | grep mount usrmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 20 18:03 etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jul 20 18:03 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Jul 20 18:03 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-pre-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1095 Jun 19 15:35 usr/bin/dracut-mount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508 Jun 19 15:35 usr/bin/dracut-pre-mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 49240 Jul 20 18:03 usr/bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36888 Jul 20 18:03 usr/bin/umount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 20 18:03 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/mount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 20 18:03 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 756 Jun 19 15:35 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 785 Jun 19 15:35 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1136 Jul 13 04:12 usr/lib/systemd/system/sys-kernel-config.mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Jul 13 04:12 usr/lib/systemd/system/umount.target This is what an initramfs that boots looks like with respect to mount. # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-5.19.0-0.rc4.20220701gita175eca0f3d7.36.20220703.fc37.x86_64.img | grep mount usrmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 19 16:17 etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Apr 19 16:17 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 19 16:17 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-pre-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1095 Feb 18 04:32 usr/bin/dracut-mount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508 Feb 18 04:32 usr/bin/dracut-pre-mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 49240 Apr 19 16:17 usr/bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36888 Apr 19 16:17 usr/bin/umount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292512 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so.1 -> ../../lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so -> ../../lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/mount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 772 Feb 18 04:32 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 801 Feb 18 04:32 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1136 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/systemd/system/sys-kernel-config.mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/systemd/system/umount.target Or failing that, do you know a way to edit the initramfs after it has been created, in order to add such libraries? In other words, a manual workaround.

file dates

by Tim

On a couple of my computers using ext4 file systems I get different results from the stat command on any file. One will list a creation date, the other has nothing there (for any file). I don't see any special options in fstab, I'm wondering why it behaves this way.

dracut not including udev rules in initramfs

by Ian Pilcher

Anyone know the trick to getting dracut to include the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d in the initramfs that it builds? I'm sure that there's a way to include a specific file, but it really seems like there ought to be a way to include all of the udev rules. (Frankly, it seems like that ought to be the default.) -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ========================================================================

gstreamer pipeline directly using pipewire device

by Adam Chasen

I am hoping for some guidance on if I should be using pipewiresrc (vs alsasrc) in my gstreamer pipeline. From my understanding we fully switched over to PipeWire for managing audio devices in Fedora. To me, this means all "non-pipewire" interfaces (PulseAudio, ALSA, OSS, etc) are now using compatibility layers to plumb the audio to PipeWire. I presume that the "most correct" pipeline source object type to use is pipewiresrc. If the answer is to use pipewiresrc, how can I inspect the pipewire "devices" seen by gstreamer? `gst-device-monitor-1.0` only shows the expected PipeWire devices via the ALSA api. The upstream documentation indicates the devices should be listed as of 2 years ago https://github.com/PipeWire/pipewire/blob/master/README.md#running-gstrea... ➜ gst-device-monitor-1.0 | grep pipewire <no output> ➜ gst-device-monitor-1.0 | grep pw <no output> ➜ gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
