password issue with f40
by Michael Hennebry
I recently installed F40 from DVD.
F40 and I are having a difference of opinion
regarding what password I gave the initial user.
F40 is winning.
I find it hard to believe I typed in the same wrong password twice,
but it's F40's opinion that counts.
I try to login: click on the user and type in my password.
F40 just goes back to the select a user screen.
There is only one user.
My usual strategy is to boot a live disk
and to edit the passwd and shadow files directly.
It did not work.
Now F40 no longer even gives me a chance to type in a password.
It just blinks at me and goes right back to the select a user screen.
What is going on?
How do I fix it?
I would much prefer not to reinstall.
Even if I have to reinstall, I would like to know what is going on.
My line from /etc/passwd :
hennebry::1000:1000:The Michael:/home/hennebry:/bin/bash
My line from /etc/shadow :
hennebry::19893:0:99999:7:::

Fedora F40 Won't Power Off
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Ever since a couple of updates ago, from KDE, when I select
"Shutdown" KDE displays a black screen (it used to be that you could
press the escape key and it would show you the apps that were closing
down so you could see which apps were causing shutdown/reboot lag, but
that doesn't seem to be working at the moment) but never physically
powers off the pc, even if I leave it running all day/all night.
Has anyone else seen this issue or know what I can look for to identify
why?
I have just put on an update that has installed kernel 6.9.4, I haven't
done a restart yet to see if that rectifies the issue.
regards,
Steve

system policy preventing wifi scan
by Michael D. Setzer II
I've got a number of Fedora machines that have wifi and have had
no issues with being able to work with connecting to various wifis.
But had done a setup for my brothers one notebook with Fedora
40, and it would come up with a message that system policy was
requiring authentication??
It would have a pop up screen come up like 10 or more times
showing his user id, but box to enter password work not allow
entry??
Then eventually, the last one would have cursor appear, and would
have to enter the password into each of the pop up windows??
Eventually found this solution.
In
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d#/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/5
0-local.d creating the file with contents 47-allow-wifi-scans.pkla
[Allow Wifi Scan]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
The notebook I'm using has no such file, and it has always worked.
So confused why brothers machine had issues?
His is the only user on machine.
Only thing different, is his had Fedora 39 installed cleanly a while
ago, while mine has had many updates over years?
This solution worked, but was there a better one?
Thanks.

Interesting mount problem - F40
by Frank Bures
Hi,
I have a small SSD that I use for /boot and /boot/efi partitions - /dev/sda
I boot from /dev/sda
I have another small SSD that I use as a dd backup of /dev/sda - /dev/sdg
After update to a new kernel, I dd the /dev/sda to /dev/sdg so that in case
of a failure I could boot from /dev/sdg.
This scenario worked perfectly till several weeks ago.
What is happening now is that the machine boots from /dev/sda, but then
mounts /dev/sdg for its /boot and /boot/efi. So in df I see /dev/sdg
instead of /dev/sda that the machine booted from.
I solved the problem by editing /etc/fstab and pointing /boot and /boot/efi
to the relevant /dev/sda[1-2] instead of the original UUID.
Question: is this solution OK or have I done something wrong? Is there a
better way of solving this?
Thanks
Frank

Thunderbird - Wayland / other apps
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
I think it came with an update a few releases ago -
Thunderbird no longer stays on the monitor it was on, prior
to screen-saver.
After screen-saver was invoked, Thunderbird goes onto the
main monitor always - for those of us who have two-monitor
setup, needless to say.
I wonder if Fedorians see this - Thunderbird & Firefox
(multiple windows/instances) not remembering it's monitor
position, has been an on-off issue for a last few yeas -
with other apps too?
Perhaps answers here, could be useful feedback for devel -
as to whether it's Gnome/Wayland & all-apps or/and only
given apps(their issue).
thanks, L.

How do I Contact the Rpmfusion List?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have installed Jellyfin from rpmfusion by following the
instructions on the Jellyfin web site for Fedora.
After activating Developer Mode on my TV I used Docker to install
the Jellyfin client on the TV.
I ran the Jellyfin script to open up Jellyfin in Firewalld (After
starting FirewallD as the service seemed to not have been activated
after the upgrade to F40).
I then enabled and started the Jellyfin service on my pc to start
the server.
When I invoke Jellyfin on the TV and supply the require IP address
of my pc and required port, the Jellyfin client tells me the server (I
think) needs to be upgraded and gives me the Github URL to get the upgrade.
Hence I need to approach the Rpmfusion guys to see if they can
upgrade the server to the latest version.
regards,
Steve

Is there away to force a compilation without

Maybe by editing the Makefile.PL ?
