nautilus won't start after upgrade
Hi did an upgrade to F28 on my brothers box. All went smooth. Problem now: Nautilus is unable to start. did a nautilus -c on command line with user account: nothing starting nautilus with root account from command line: nautilus starts reinstalling all nautilus packages doesn't fix it. Ideas ? Hint: after upgrade I run dnf autoremove, but in my sight it shouldn't has (had ?) broken anything, cause nautilus still starts with root account, but even ONLY with root account. nautilus -c as root outputs the same (errors) as on my box (upgrade from April's beta). ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: Problem with copying files to externel USB connected disk
IIRC you are running Fedora from a usb stick ? I can't say how much RAM is needed during coping big files and if it is needed, but it sounds to me like you running out of something, which could be RAM e.g. swap space. Do you got swap space or enough RAM, esp. you are running a full blown (???) Desktop from USB/RAM ? Tried sysrescueCD ? another point could be your old (?) external disk => bad sector, etc. did you checked it with smartctl, etc. ever ? My experiences are windows isn't that smart realizing bad disks. If you need a copy tool with verify under Windows, maybe this one: https://fastcopy.jp/en/ I used to checksum important files and keep that checksums, too. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: any grub/dracut wizz here? - how to move everything but boot to a new NVMe
my answer probably may be incomplete, but I guess your UUID for your root partition in /boot/grub/grub.cfg still points to the old root partition on the old disk. I don't know if it adequate to change this by hand via vi or an another editor. other question I'm thinking about are - is your PCIe adaptor seen at all by your system ( => lspci) and - is it bootable first step: you should still be able to boot your system from your old disk, but I guess only via BIOS boot menu (on MSI boards: F11-Key) [in my Bios M2-nvme became the very first boot device, so default boot device has changed and needs adjustments] => lspci => PCIe adaptor and nvme seen: yes/no ? => blkid => UUID from your new root partition on the nvme next step: after making a backup of your old grub.cfg and changing the UUID in grub.cfg on your ssd (!!!, needs to mount extra). after reboot you should able to load your system from the root partition on the nvme. - maybe via Bios boot menu fetching the ssd as first boot device - next step: with some luck you are able boot (via Bios Boot menue) from your nvme after adjustments in grub.cfg ON the nvme - don't know if it works cause no experience with PCIe-adaptor - open question: === - sudo grub2-install ... ? - sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) with parameter of the root partition on the nvme ? => man dracut ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: how to have dual boot on new laptop
you should backup /dev/nvme0n1p4 (Windows recovery), save the disk layout (fdisk -l...) and maybe save your boot sector too (don't know if this relevant for UEFI) esp. if you got a function key (F2, F?, ..) during boot to recover you disk/windows. think of the case if you want to sell the laptop in some years or recover a somehow damaged windows (Virus, broken disk, ...) ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: how to have dual boot on new laptop
regarding Samsung - and I guess other vendors too - in the recovery partition resides a disk image (like dd..., or the like tools) from /dev/nvme0n1p1 up to p3 with that image you are able to reset the laptop to a state before first use in few minutes, so I guess it's different to an usb recovery stick ! usually there is a - tool to refresh/update the disk images in the recovery partition. - maybe a Function Key shown during boot to start recovering/resetting the laptop to initial configured(!!!) state. convenient ! re-creating the recovery partition, boot a windows usb stick/CD, starting the recovery tool in the recovery partition and you are fine if something bad happens to windows. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: OT - Antivirus clean up USB
you could never ever be to 100 % sure that you fetch all viruses, etc. ! So my advice (in case you got an recovery partition with an full configured and imaged win installation in): 1. backup C:\Users (complete folder) to an external disk (maybe disk d: ..., too) 2. virus scan only that backup from the previous step 3. take a screenshot of what applications/drivers are installed 4. recover the laptop maybe there is a Bios Boot key/Option or a Program in your start menue (=> maybe vendor forum, ,,,) 5. cherry pick the user files (NOT directories !) from your backup and restore them to the right folders - YOU NEVER EVER SHOULD copy the complete old c:\Users to new C:\Users (it won't work !) - an application with dual Windows for directories "TotalCommander" (Win) or MC (Linux) could help - user generated files mainly are under: C:\Users\https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: OT - Antivirus clean up USB
maybe you mixed Windows Rescue and Vendors Rescue/recovery. the first comes from M$ and is able to boot the box and do some simple tasks (Win 7, don't know if Win 10 can do more) analogous to F30 rescue. the second is an disk image (like dd) from the vendor and contains: - a complete Windows installation with drivers, application, bloatware, etc. - a set of tools to freshen and/or to restore that recovery and maybe a change to the boot sector to provide an function key to start recovery out of the boot sreen restore overwrites the hole disk or at least the windows partition with that contents, an image, in the (normally) hidden recovery partition. It simply reset the box to the state when you bought it.

Re: Enlarging the swap partition
If I were you I would get rid off that partion schema and would change it to GUID partioning ! I don't know if it's able to do without new installation ! In my view/with my understanding: if you ever get in the position/the need to do an new install with new partioning your /home on an logical partition is in danger. - maybe I'm wrong ?! - If you move to GUID partioning you circumvent the barrier of 4 primary partions OR 3 prim. plus x logical. You simply get more then 4 primary partitions. - don't know the limit - And you are able - during a later new install - to leave your /home in an primary partition untouched and just mount it during an new install. For the other partitions (/, swap, ...) you are free to format /re-partitioning them without putting /home in danger. - no need to tell that a user data backup is important anyway - Hints: - you need a partition named "Bios Boot" with 1-2 MB size as a first (?) partition. - you need (I'm unsure if this still relevant !!!)

Re: Enlarging the swap partition
sure the OP doesn't need GPT.
Not strongly/imperative !
and my suggestions are far away from just "extend swap".
but he needs to save his data anyway (backup) before he moves his partitions
with gparted.
- I never would manipulate partition WITHOUT an backup ! -
a second backup is needed again if he - in the future - needs to change
something within his first three primary partitions and of cause a gparted run.
a extended partition with logical's in and on top of that /home (with the
dearest data) as one of the logical partition was always - in my experiences -
obstructive and time comsuming !
even if the OP decides in the future to run windows in addition to linux on his
ONE disk box: he is fxxked: windows claims the first (and the second ?) primary
partition as it's install target.
what do you do if you need to update your bios and the vendor only provides
windows based bios updates ?
WinPE might work and what if not ?
second disk ?
available ?
sure with the current partition layout it might be doable again with gparted,
too. (but why to spend the time again for the same tasks ? I'm lazy !)
I was pissed often to move data lasting for hours caused by an aged limit of 4
primary partitions only (or 3x primary and 1x extended with x logical) before
GPT was introduced/avaiable for linux.
my suggestion/intentions was/is "do it once, but do it (mostly) right then"
with the view of most time saving/flexibility/etc for the future.
the time you need to move full partitions with gparted is - in my view -
"simular" maybe longer then the time needed to do an fresh install (< 1 h) AND
the pending user configuration/restore data (time depends on user needs) ?!
agreed ?
sure if you move empty partitions (backuped and then erased) OR erase sda5,
sda4, resize sda{1,2,3} and create new sda{4,5, ..} you won't agree. quiet
clear !
But you need to restore the data (/home on sda5), anyway.
Why not restore it on an nicer partition layout ?
so, if I need to do so much work (error prone for my taste: nobody warrants
gparted won't fail ! - it hadn't in past though, but ... -) spending additional
< 1 h for an new install on an clean/non-obstructive/etc. partition layout
(GPT) is not much additional time. (the time for the restore is needed in any
case [gparted without backup: no go !])
The time the OP needs to successfully perform the tasks I suggest is - maybe -
somewhat higher then to just "extend swap".
But maybe it might be shorter (I can't guess the time needed for user
configurations after install to the current state) even if gparted fails
somehow (no electron out of the wall for a second, ...).
I just try to prevent the OP for maybe bad, time consumming, un-needed,
reiterating experiences I maid years ago with a one disk box.
That all !

micro dropout's playing video's / card games or just scrolling in an terminal.
Hallo is it just me ? in an terminal running "man man" constantly scrolling the pages up or down: it scrolls some line/a page (~2 seconds), stops, scrolls some lines, stops ... Also if I play video's or card games I notice micro dropout's. Video plays 2 seconds fluidly, then pauses/stucks for a ~1/4 second, plays 2 seconds fluidly, pauses/stucks for a ~1/4 second, and so on. it seems like a video-buffer isn't constantly filled to play videos smooth. I exclude hardware error cause: - the box is just an half year old and I tested a card game under windows 7 without dropouts. - I tested with another monitor. I tested an elder kernel ~4.13.x without an solution. I tested under wayland and Xorg-Gnome. F27 is up date. Any hints to debug/troubleshoot this ?

Now, since you successful exported your data and your email accounts are all imap I would only do the following: - forget all I wrote up so far - 1. save your passwords of your email accounts: - if you don't know them out of your head - in TB: Menue "Edit" => "Preferences" => "Security" => Tab "Passwords" => "Saved Passwords" => "Show Passwords" right click on the entries => copy Username AND right click on the entries again => copy Password save them in a text file. 1b. take a screenshot of your TB AddOn's, if you got one 2. remove all under ~/.thunderbird 3. start thunderbird => a new profile is created TB should be the lastest you can get via dnf upgrade 4. setup all your email accounts with the user name and user password from step 1. you need to know the IMAP server adresses, too ! 5. import all your calendars, adressbooks, etc. mail filter should go, too via: Menue "Tools" => import => Filter => point to your old TB profile ? - never done, so I done know - 6. reinstall your TB AddOn's 7. configure your printer under TB 8. adjust all your TB-Preferences to your need advantage: all old gruft collected over years under the TB profile, which could cause trouble, is removed too. Your are up with a shiny new TB and a shiny new AND clean profile and hopefully there is any trouble left. 9. at last: a backup of the shiny new configured state ! 10. be prepared for F31 in two weeks or so !!! ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: How to shut off org.freedesktop.trackers
maybe not the best solution, but it works for me gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files crawling-interval -2 gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files enable-monitors false - the above fetched from this list some time ago. question was the same: How to shut up tracker ? - sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-*.desktop; the last command needs to be done every time tracker gets updated ! The first both only once. And the last command does NOT prevent that tracker gets started during login, but it stops after some time. see after some seconds: ps aux|grep -i tracker I'm currently NOT sure what tracker stops. I didn't dig in it that deep, but Tom Horsley did... extra: as user ! rm -rf ~/.cache/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.cache/tracker rm -rf ~/.local/share/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.local/share/tracker why ? /tmp is tmpfs and lives in my RAM, so no extra writing on my ssd ! btw: there are some more entries in ~/.cache I link to /tmp (on my single user box) ~/.cache/thunderbird ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: upgrade problem: space on '/' filesystem.
... > Can I remove all these without causing any problems with the Fedora-29 > or rescue options in the grub menu? good question ! cause to me it's not clear on what 1. architecture you are (x86_64 or i686) ? see your first post cit.: "...libcap-2.26-5.fc30.i686 needs..." => "i686" ! 2. kernel you are ? uname -a (show us the answers of this two questions) 3. fedora version you are ? your run of "dnf list extras" shows that you are somehow/partly on F30. But the main problem was - if I'm right - that the upgrade F29 => F30 hasn't worked ! according to the answer of my question 2. you need to be carefull if you remove the wrong kmod-nvidia for your running kernel ! I guess you could - remove all packages lower than F29 if you are currently on F29 - remove all i686 packages if you are on x86_64, with one exception - at least it was true in the past - (I guess it was named- don't know -) "glib-something.i686 ! you are on the save side if you exclude all packages with "lib" in it's name sudo dnf remove *.i686 --exclude=*lib* ... something like that... general: dnf history shows you what you have done with packages (install, upgrade, remove) in the past. see man dnf and search for "history" what I'm after is "dnf history undo ", means you are able to undo a remove in the sense of re-install. But - I guess - you can't undo a package from F28 repo if you are currently on F30 repo (see answer question 3.) If it would be clear on what Fedora version you are I would do the following see [**] - df -f (space before cleanage, just for the record) - clean up the above mess (remove i686 packages and all packages lower then F29) - sudo dnf clean all (delete the cache, means: to be downloaded again later, but maybe fewer packages - sudo dnf distro-sync (brings the box to a clean state on the current fedora version) - maybe a subsequent sudo dnf autoremove (handle with care !) - df -h (space after cleanage) - at least THE upgrade: 1. sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade (if anymore installed since cleanage) 2. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 --setopt='module_platform_id=platform:f30' --allowerasing command in 2. is ONE line (sudo ... allowerasing) ! 3. sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot 4. sudo dnf system-upgrade clean Does this clean the upgrade log's too ??? then 4. later until all is correct ! specials: 5. sudo dnf install rpmconf 6. sudo rpmconf -a (resets all configs under /etc/ to it's default state, handle with care !, maybe take a backup BEFORE) if you haven't edit the config file rpmconf is working on, i or y is a save option (you will be asked) 7. sudo touch /.autorelabel (selinux label to defaults) 8. reboot 9. boot errors ?: dmesg|grep -iEw 'bad|bug|conflict|corrupted|error|fail|failed|fault|fatal|invalid|Lock|NULL|segfault|stack|trace|warn' command in 9. is ONE line (dmesg ... warn') ! ALLWAYS think twice before hitting the "y"-key while cleaning with dnf remove/distro-sync/autoremove ! [**] apart from doing a new install and removing all the old cruft, cause so much work for an so old box ! => fc26 from above "mozjs24.x86_6424.2.0-11.fc26 @@commandline" ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

AND as mentioned you want get that much space from the above cleanage ! in general: I for myself would do an fresh and clean install. at least if bugs turn up during running that old box and the need to debug them. the question then is: what do I currently/really debug: F30 bugs or bugs somehow reaching down to F18 I would like to be on a save(r) side with a clean box, so 5 upgrades okay, but ~12 ? sure, it needs more work ! but all the work and hours you put in for the cleanage and stuff is more then ~1h installation plus some (depends on your setup) hours reinstalling additional packages and configuration. thinks about it ! > I got somewhat overwhelmed and lost in the rest of the post.
