Print is super easy to fix:
- print target
+ print(target)

I bet there is about 100 other thing to fix. As Ed suggested, 2to3
shoud handle prints and other obvious problems, but it do not handle
missing dependencies, which are a problem with migrating to Python 3.

It's not exactly "fire and forget". You still have to do some work.

Well there was no "Update BIOS" option in my BIOS setup. I had to use Win +

In general, the earlier the mitigations are applied, the harder it is

is well organized and may

be helpful checking to see if new microcode is available for your CPU.



Okay, I have done everything that I can do from my side.

I have updated my BIOS to the latest one from HP's website.

I have updated the OS to the latest updates and patches.

But still the Meltdown OVH script tells me that I am vulnerable.

So my next question would be:

1) Do I open a bug at :

https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues

or

bugzilla.redhat.com

or both ?

2) What info should I include ? I am obviously doing to include the 
output of /proc/cpuinfo, but is there anything else ?


3) Is there any other way to test if I am vulnerable ? The Meltdown OVH 
script maybe be buggy so any other way I can test ?

It means that rpmfusion is running ahead.  They pushed vlc to stable
before the Fedora libebml-1.4.0-1.fc32 and libmatroska-1.6.0-1 updates
went stable:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-c5e96618e7

It should clear up soon, once the Fedora update gets pushed to stable.

Various bugs with the new 5.7 kernel on Fedora 32

[Sreyan Chakravarty]

I just upgraded to the new 5.7 kernel and it has a lot of bugs.

It can't even initialize my swap file:

This doesn't happen in 5.6

There are a slew of other problems.


A log file can be found here:

https://pastebin.com/iL9Yd5cj


I really am too tired to file a bug since nothing really gets fixed.


What I want to do is uninstall the 5.7 kernel.

If I uninstall the kernel will running an older kernel cause problems 
during system upgrade ?

[Sreyan Chakravarty]

Okay guys how do I uninstall a kernel ?

sudo dnf remove kernel-5.7.10-201.fc32.x86_64

does absolutely nothing.

I can even boot from the removed kernel after the removal.

How do I remove a kernel for good ?

I want it gone from the GRUB boot menu too.

If you are using ext4, look for the "swapfile has holes
" message.   There is a
kernel bug, but two proposed fixes, one looks like a quick hack, the other
points to a more basic flaw in the implementation.

One misconfiguration can cause multiple failures.

Other distros are reporting problems and have workarounds:

Maybe you shouldn't be using Fedora.   One reason Fedora exists is to catch
problems like this.  Given that there is a simple workaround and more than
one way to "fix" it, it may take some time for a fix to make it into the
kernel.
The bug was reported in May, so "some time" might translate to "real soon
now".

First you have to boot into an older kernel.
Then you might want to look for all rpms with
5.7.10-201 in the name and remove them all
since they broke kernels up into multiple
packages for some reason.

That should also get it out of the boot menu,
but the next time you do an update it will
come back unless you put an exclude line
in dnf.conf to make it never install any kernel
packages.

The last version of 5.6 was really stable.

Now back to the real question :

Is there a way to remove the kernel ?

Jerry raises a good point.  Fedora, by design, does not include any
packages that are patent or license encumbered.  So, if the codec being
used by the videos that you are trying to watch is proprietary (say
h264), then it will not be included in Fedora.  Does this mean that
Fedora users wear hair shirts, and don't watch such videos?  :-) No.
There are repositories that package such software for Fedora, but
usually in jurisdictions where it is legal to do so.  Thus
rpmfusion.org (and others).

If you go to rpmfusion,
https://rpmfusion.org/
and look at the packages there, you will find ffmpeg as Jerry
suggested, but you will also find versions of other packages that use
patent and licensed encumbered software.  ffmpeg is the engine behind
many video and audio programs such as vlc, mplayer, audacity,
audacious, etc.  It is also at rpmfusion that the proprietary nvidia
driver is packaged for fedora.

In the resulting list, you will see all installed packages associated
with kernel-5.7*, the kernel that you want to remove.

dnf will not let you remove a running kernel, so you will have to
reboot, hit space or F2 or ... while booting to bring up the grub menu.
Then, select the 5.6 kernel you want to run, and boot it.

Now, run
dnf remove [list of kernel packages found above]
 
And, voilá, the kernel it is gone.

Ok.

How do I remove a specific version of a package using DNF ?

These are the installed packages for 5.7:

$ dnf list installed kernel-* | grep -i 5.7

kernel-core.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32
kernel-devel.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32
kernel-headers.x86_64 5.7.10-200.fc32
kernel-modules.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32
kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32

How exactly do I remove these ?

What will be the DNF command ?

Yeah, I have removed the a kernel component via:

sudo dnf remove kernel-*5.7.10-201.fc32.x86_64

And it did remove something but it did not remove the kernel as it is 
still present on the GRUB menu and is bootable.



Running the following command I get the output:

That is the problem with the dnf technique, it doesn't give the actual
package name, you have to put it together manually.

On my system I ran the following convoluted command in order to isolate
a single kernel.
rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 5\.8 | grep rc5 | less

The results:
kernel-modules-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-tools-libs-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-modules-internal-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-tools-libs-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-headers-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
kernel-tools-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 

Notice that rpm returns the actual package name. So, I would just
create a command like
dnf remove \
kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \
kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \
etc. until all of them are listed.

In an actual shell instead of an email message, the backslash escape is
not needed, just a space between them.  Double click to select, paste
using middle mouse button, space, double click to select, paste using
middle mouse button, space, etc.

Refer to the "SPECIFYING PACKAGES" section in the dnf man
page.  It explains the syntax options you can use to specify
a , which is used by many dnf commands, like
dnf remove.

While there, the remove-n, remove-na, and remove-nevra
commands are also worth reading about.  They come in handy
occasional.

Perhaps this is a minor point, but it's good to get in the
habit of escaping shell wildcard characters, like '*' in the
above command.  You can do that either with quoting
('kernel-*') or prefixing the wildcard character with a
backslash (kernel-\*).

Not escaping the '*' _appears_ to work as expected -- until
you run it in a directory where a pathname matches kernel-*.
Then, you find out the shell expands the glob first, before
dnf has a chance to see the argument you intended.

As you'll find in the man page, dnf accepts glob patterns,
which are much like shell glob patterns.  You can use them
to remove all 5.7 kernels, something like:

$ sudo dnf remove 'kernel*-5.7.*'

Similarly, you can use the patterns to avoid the need for
the pipe to grep above (which also didn't need the -i
option, as your argument is numeric):

$ sudo dnf list installed 'kernel*-5.7.*'

You didn't give the output from dnf, but I assume that it only let you 
remove the kernel metapackage because you can't remove the running kernel.



Running the following command I get the output:

$ dnf list installed kernel-* | grep -i 5.7

kernel-core.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32
kernel-devel.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32

kernel-modules.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32
kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 5.7.10-201.fc32


A better command, at least for removal purposes would be "rpm -qa | grep 
kernel".



How on earth do I now remove these ?

Could you just give me a sample DNF remove command for these ?


You need to boot into a different kernel and then run:
dnf remove kernel-core-5.7.10-201.fc32
Removing that will remove the other ones as well.

The repo is enabled by default starting in Fedora 32, but the Firefox
plugin is not.  If you want to use it, open the Firefox menu and
choose "Add-ons".  Choose the "Plugins" tab.  You'll see the OpenH264
Video Codec plugin, but it is disabled.  Select it and change "Never
Activate" to "Always Activate".

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264 for more information.

I too experienced the "swap file has holes" issue after I upgraded F32 
to the 5.7 kernel. All I had to do to recover swap space was remove and 
recreate my swap file:


# rm /storage/var/swap/swap0
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/storage/var/swap/swap0 bs=1G count=32 status=progress
# chmod 600 /storage/var/swap/swap0
# mkswap /storage/var/swap/swap0
# swapon /storage/var/swap/swap0

In my opinion, this is a pretty easy workaround. I'll stick with the 5.7 
kernel unless I run into other issues.

If it is the bug reported in May, a normal swapfile on ext4 that has been
used with a 5.6 kernel can be rejected   One fix is to modify the test that
fails, but a comment to that proposed patch indicated that there is some
provision  for special handling of swapfiles that should be used.
I assume that, absent a kernel patch, the problem could come back,
e.g., after booting an older kernel to repair something.

If you are using ext4, look for the "swapfile has holes 
" message.   There 
is a kernel bug, but two proposed fixes, one looks like a quick hack, 
the other points to a more basic flaw in the implementation.


Interesting, I've only ever used "dd" to create swap files.  Anyway, if 
you do run into this problem, there's a very simple fix.

SPDIF sound in F32

[Greg Woods]

After wrestling all day with an ASUS Xonar SE card (with accompanying
Googling), I now believe that this card cannot be made to work in Linux.
Stereo output through the green line out port works fine, but SPDIF does
not. "lspci" actually claims this thing is a USB controller, although as I
mentioned stereo sound does work.

Does anybody have a PCIe sound card that is known to work with SPDIF 5.1
surround sound output? It has to be optical as those are the only digital
ports on my receiver.

One frustrating thing about trying to search for information online is that
I come up with a lot of stuff that is way too old to be useful. For
instance, a lot of the advice articles I found on getting sound working
mention 4Front and OSS sound drivers, which is probably 15-20 year old
information. I'm looking for  first hand "yes I know this card works", or
at least a pointer to something that isn't Ubuntu specific and is recent
enough to be useful.

Thanks,
--Greg

resume from suspend to RAM not working properly with / on btrfs

[Lukas Middendorf]

Hi,

TL,DR: I have problems with resuming from suspend to RAM on my new Ryzen 
computer. I have only seen this happen if I put root onto a btrfs 
subvolume, not on ext4. The proprietary nvidia driver seems to be one 
additional factor, but I have also seen this with the nvidia driver 
removed. Experienced something similar?



I have upgraded my PC with a Ryzen 7 3700X, Asus ROG STRIX x570-E Gaming 
and a Samsung 970 EVO PLUS NVMe SSD.
The existing Fedora 32 system from my old SATA SSD worked flawlessly 
(with suspend to RAM).
For the last years I have always used ext4 (previously ext3) on 
monolithic root partitions (no separate /boot or /home, but separate 
data partitions) on mbr partitioned SATA disks, booting in legacy BIOS mode.
With the new drive I wanted to make the switch to GPT, UEFI boot and 
btrfs (ext4 /boot). I didn't want to install a new system (with those 
months of finding programs you have not yet installed) but opted to just 
copy over my old F32 system.
So I used gparted to set up the GPT and a 200MiB EFI System partition, 
three 500MiB boot partitions (for different distributions or Fedora 
versions), a 16GiB swap partition and the rest of the drive as btrfs. In 
the btrfs volume I created a fedora32 subvolume with a nested home 
subvolume. I then mounted everything (/, /boot, /boot/efi) on my old f30 
system and copied over everything from my f32 partition. After bind 
mounting /sys, /proc and /dev I chrooted into the new copy, adjusted the 
fstab, installed all efi related packages, ran grub2-mkconfig and made 
sure the kernel paths in /boot/loader/entries were correct. I then 
switched to the system rescue mode of a f32 netinstall USB drive booted 
in UEFI mode (to get access to the efivars) to install grub with target 
x86_64-efi and regenerate the initrds.
After that everything booted up and seemed to work until I tried suspend 
to RAM. It went to sleep properly, but resuming did not complete. After 
waking up it just continued to display the last four kernel messages of 
the suspend action (suspending processes, ..., suspending terminal). It 
reacted to emergency sync sysrq (HDD LED blinking) but the other sysrq 
keys did not seem to work ("u" also provoked a blinking LED sometimes). 
This happened from within KDE as well as from text terminal with 
systemctl suspend. Log files after reboot just had entries until shortly 
before suspend (processes suspended, all except the last CPU core 
disabled, unneeded drives stopped) but not from the attempt to resume.
I assumed this to be caused by the NVMe-SSD and unsuccessfully tried 
some suggested solutions that have worked for others with suspend 
problems with NVMe-SSDs (disabling acpiphp, disabling d3cold_allowed). 
Since I had too many variables I trashed the content of the new SSD and 
started anew with a mbr partition table to boot in legacy BIOS mode. I 
just plain cloned the original f32 partition to the NVMe SSD, adjusted 
the fstab, updated grub.cfg, recreated the initrds installed grub to the 
mbr and everything worked, including suspend.
I then again did another copy with btrfs root (and ext4 /boot), this 
time on MBR with BIOS boot and it again showed the previous suspend 
problem. No swap space this time.
I also did a new install of F32 (from Everything Netinstall with Plasma 
Workspace profile) with btrfs root and ext4 /boot, which suspended 
correctly at the beginning but failed to resume after I installed the 
proprietary nvidia driver for my graphics card. Removing the nvidia 
driver (and updating grub.cfg and the initrds) returned that install to 
a working state.
I then removed the nvidia driver also on the second non-working copy of 
my old system (checked that "lsmod | grep nvidia" does not show 
anything), but suspend still did not work. It did not show the kernel 
messages but just a black screen with frozen mouse pointer. So the 
nvidia driver seems to be one way to trigger it but there apparently are 
other ways to reach the non-working state.


I have now trashed everything again and settled for GPT, UEFI and root 
on ext4 (no separate /boot) with /home on a btrfs subvolume as a 
compromise. This seems to be working fine. As I now have a btrfs /home 
my problem is also likely not caused by having files open on a btrfs 
partition.


The problems were with kernels 5.7.9-200.fc32 and 5.7.10-201.fc32 . I 
should likely also have tried an older kernel, but have not yet done so 
(might try to get a new non-working test setup tomorrow).
Nvidia driver packages were version 440.100 from rpmfusion on the new 
install and a rebuild of the f33 packages of 450.57 for the existing 
install.


My hardware:
- AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- Asus ROG STRIX x570-E Gaming (latest BIOS version 2407)
- Samsung 970 EVO PLUS NVMe SSD
- Geforce GTX960

Tested setups:
Old Ext4 on MBR, SATA: working
copy of old Ext4 on MBR, NVMe: working
copy to BTRFS (Ext4 /boot, with nvidia) on GPT, UEFI, NVMe: not working
copy to BTRFS (Ext4 /boot, with nvidi

That is really old information.  Probably the reason it's hard to find 
anything more recent is because generally it all just works.

In "pavucontrol", it actually does have a listing for the Xonar Sound Card,
but only the analog output port is available. In alsamixer, I can press F6
to select sound card, and "Xonar Sound Card" is a selection, but there is
no iec958 device.

That's true for stereo sound, but not so true when you try to use surround
sound and iec958 devices.

Audio, bluetooth, and other I/O is often implemented using USB devices, so
it should not be surprising to find a USB controller.   You should be able
to find
the USB id's.   According to ASUS (
https://www.asus.com/Sound-Cards/Xonar-SE/specifications/),
the card uses a "C-Media USB2.0 6620A High-Definition Sound Processor (Max.
192KHz/24bit)".

https://www.audioshark.org/ might be able to help -- there are linux users
doing
serious audio work.

Maybe the OP is not familiar with rpmfusion?  It may be helpful to tell him he 
can enable
rpmfusion repos by the command  (all on one line)

sudo dnf install 
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E 
%fedora).noarch.rpm 
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm 
-E %fedora).noarch.rpm

And then

dnf install ffmpeg

This will allow the embedded play (jwplay) of the site rt.com (Russian 
Television) to work.

The sender used a gmail address.   It could be spoofed or stolen or just
violating Google TOS.   I forward such mails to ab...@gmail.com who have
more resources to sort things out and can take the appropriate action.

gnome control center wifi madness

[Tom Horsley]

If I bring up the gnome control center wifi page, it
always says "no adapter detected".

If I turn on wifi, it shows me a list of SSIDs to connect
to, and I can connect.

If there is no adapter detected, what am I talking to? :-).

Read the rest of the message.  You've turned the adapter off, so it's 
effectively not there.

That's certainly good to do.  And much appreciated if you
(and/or anyone else) have done that in this case.

For an account whose only post to the list is spam, I also
take the approach of unsubscribing it.  If it's a legitmate
account, they can contact the list admins to tell us.  [Yes,
I could mark the account as moderated instead, but that puts
needless burden on the list admins.  If this were an account
with has non-spam posts, that would be more appropriate.]

Also, I can't recall _ever_ being contacted in such an
instance, so I'm fairly confident that unsubscribing these
accounts is unlikely to be harming (m)any legitimate users.
And that saves the other ~5600 members from getting more
spam.

The card is an ASUS Xonar SE

I also found alsa.opensrc.org that has some helpful stuff, especially the
DigitalOut section, but it's going to take me a while to understand all of
it.

So "aplay -L" does actually show an iec958 device; MythTV had to be getting
it from somewhere. This gives me some hope that it might be possible to
eventually make this card work.

There appear to be two outputs for some reason.  I'll come back to that 
later.


[snip lots of output showing many combinations with iec958-stereo outputs.]

Maybe I should have asked for the more verbose option.  It's probably 
one of these.

It looks like it's playing, in that it just sits there. If I play the 
same file on my laptop, it does contain sound.


Add "-vv" or "-vvv" to the command to be able to tell if it's actually 
sending something.  Also, try this command with "DEV=1" as well.  If you 
still don't hear anything, then run alsamixer and turn up all of those 
PCM outputs and try both of them again.


It's strange that pulseaudio and ALSA know about the digital output, but 
you can't select it.  Something that I should have asked earlier though 
is whether or not the optical cable is lit up.
