#Linux update. Month about 6. For the most part things are going well. Just weird crap that I took for granted just works on #Windows Example. I'm using a projector that is plugged into a soundbar and then into my desktop. If I don't have the projector on before I turn on the desktop #Fedora will NOT detect a display. Meaning I need to press the power button, turn off the system and turn it back on again. Again minor but something in 30+ years of windows never was a thing. Also #Plex Client on Linux sucks. I've had this weird issue with white boxes on the UI that shows up at random times. No rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it starts up with the app. Sometimes it goes away with an F5. Somtimes it goes away on restart of the app, sometimes it doesn't. This is not a new problem: https://forums.plex.tv/t/weird-white-squares-all-over-the-place-with-latest-version/840690/43
And before someone tells me to use the web portal: No. The web app is putting more load on my plex server because it needs to transcode vs direct play. Also the web portal can't do offline content.
Outside that and the extreme number of updates I get every week. Its been a pretty normal user experience the last month or two.
Flock to Fedora conference schedule dropped! Check it out to see what topics we will be covering. Which ones stand out to you?
Do I know anyone who speaks .rpm fluently that has a few spare hours to help with the upcoming CouchDB release packaging?
You’d be working on a fun open source project and working directly with me :)
Around twice yearly I use my "older" Microsoft Surface Go 2 (it runs #Fedora Linux) as my travel device. It had run GNOME since I bought it. But yesterday, I tinkered a bit to strip everything down a bit. I am now on #Sway and deleted GNOME. I usually don't use a tiling WM as I work mostly in tmux anyway (which itself is tiling), but the Sway setup makes the setup lighter. Will use most of the time fullscreen in sway anyway. Great experience so far. Even for PDF reading with #zathura
Well, it looks like I need to prepare the microSD card with the Raspberry Pi Imager. Thankfully, it's available in the #Fedora repos, so I was able to install it without issue. It's currently downloading the moOde Audio Player image and writing it to the microSD card. The nice thing about this app is that it allows me to configure it before installation, so once everything's flashed, it will have my configuration changes. I hadn't done this before, so it's my fault. Still, it was working fine until recently. Not sure what happened. Regardless, backups will be made this time around. 
Fedora 41 Workstation has gone the Wayland-only way.
Join us today at 5pm EDT (9pm UTC) for an update on the atomic world of Fedora on the Fedora Podcast! @siosm will be explaining what bootc is, how it relates to rpm-ostree, and how it relates to the *future of desktop Linux.*

Goodness I'm tired now. Spent all morning trying to recover my Fedora workstation workstation workstation work... from having no sound. Well, holding the phone up to the monitor just wasn't cutting it. So, I just decided to reinstall. Well, then, the Intel boot manager wasn't letting me boot from the installation USB. So, I tried putting it on there again, using the newest Fedora Mate spin image. I installed it fine then. Well, at the end, when it says that the installation is complete, Orca actually turned off, but I was able to turn it back on and finish install. Now just getting everything back working again. Checked the Assistive Technologies box, got my Firefox account going, setting up Emacs and VS Code, getting my SSH keys from Dropbox, gotta chmod those. All that. Oh, and making control another capslock or something. Yeah.

I was going through my photos for a completely unrelated reason, and discovered that I had this #Fedora Project Leader photo from 12 January 2008 that can never be recreated. RIP Gafton, we still miss you!
Welp, looks like the #Fedora upgrade went sideways. I kind of expected this, so I guess a fresh install is in order, though I may take this opportunity to install #Slackware instead!
Upgrading from #Fedora 36 to 40. Let's see how it all goes... 
Third, we are away of an issue affecting Fedora Atomic Desktops.
If you have updated recently you may not be able to boot, getting a message about a bad shim signature or something similar. The Fedora Atomic Desktops SIG is aware of the issue and working on a solution. It seems to be related to the update to Linux kernel 6.9. (1/2)
In the meantime to avoid this issue you can do one of these mitigations:
* Don't update, stay on an older image, or rollback
* Disable Secure Boot for now
* Follow the instructions in this ticket at your own risk
https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/543
We will keep you posted on when there is a fix or a better solution available. (2/2)

I'm running a Samba server on my Raspberry Pi, and I'm able to log in and use it without trouble on my Debian 12 system. But on Fedora Silverblue 40, I can create, delete and read files but cannot write to them.
Any Silverblue users have a tip on what I can do to fix this?
Could it be something related to UID?

Note that the job is out of the Waterford, Ireland office.
PS: if seriously interested, and if we're at least acquainted, contact me _before_ applying and I'll send you a referral link!
@thefossguy What I was really hunting for when I started down this rabbit hole is if the #ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 supports #Fedora with the new Qualcomm #ARM offering.
So far, I've yet to find info either way on that one.

#Fedora people: Where do I find the list of RPMs installed by default on Workstation? Which I assume is basically the same list used to build the live image?
I've wondered this for a long time.
This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

RPM Fusion is to #Fedora as Nonguix is to Guix.
Since RPM Fusion is unofficial, I'm never sure if I'm using it optimally. Basically, I want to get from it what would have been included from it in Fedora's base Workstation install, if it were available for official use that way.

Worked on #DistDetect (https://github.com/xtaran/dist-detect) today, added #OpenSSH signatures for #Fedora (21-40; source: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=openssh) and for #openSUSE / SLES (11-15; source: https://software.opensuse.org/package/openssh) confirmed by some real-life examples, as well as some other maintenance chores.
While digging through @shodan results for examples I found a host with OpenSSH 3.4p1 and "Apache/1.3.29 (Linux/SuSE)", i.e. a SLES 8.1 from 2002. 🙈

It took a while, but I finally evaluated the survey. Thanks to everyone! 👍 ❤️
I was surprised by the high number of BSD users, significantly more than Win or Mac! Fantastic!
And with Linux, Debian clearly dominates ahead of Fedora, Arch and then Mint. The big surprise is Slackware! It's great that so many people still use it!

Wow guys, I am absolutely overwhelmed by your participation and also the diligent sharing! And one thing first: after reading every single post - I was surprised by certain tendencies. But after the end of the survey, I will evaluate all the answers again and then comment! Thanks again to EVERYONE who took part! You guys are great, and that's what makes the Fediverse what it is!

Silverblue and Fedora Atomic users - here's a guide on how to rebase to Fedora 40.
The graphical example used is for Silverblue, but if you follow the terminal instructions they will work on any Fedora Atomic Desktop. Just pay attention to use the name of your variant where applicable.
If anything goes bad, you can rollback to Fedora 39. Additionally you can pin your current image if you need to go back after a few updates.

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes. 
First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Unified_Core
Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users.

🍿 Now we wait
I have upgraded my personal laptop to #Fedora #Silverblue just in time for the upgrade to Fedora 40 to be an update in the background and then a trivial, quick reboot into the upgraded system with an option to roll back if something goes wrong.
I started this update in December, by starting with a new (larger) drive. I put it into a USB-3 NVME carrier, attached it to a VM, and did an install and updates until it looked like I got the software I wanted complete.
Then an unrelated hardware failure made me back-burner it until tonight. I booted the VM, did a quick rpm-ostree upgrade, and rebooted the VM into the latest release. Four months of updates and it was fast and trivial. Copied my home directory over from the old drive to the new drive, popped it in, and I'm up and running.
I'm really looking forward to not watching minutes of updates scroll by with the system unusable at the boot screen.
And if I need any files from the old install, I have the old drive in the USB-3 NVME carrier. ☺

Red Hat released an urgent security alert for Fedora 41 and Rawhide users:
> PLEASE IMMEDIATELY STOP USAGE OF ANY FEDORA 41 OR FEDORA RAWHIDE INSTANCES for work or personal activity.
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users
> Although Fedora 40 beta contained the 5.6 version of xz in an update, the build environment prevents the injection from correctly occurring, and has not been shown to be compromised. Fedora 40 has now reverted to the 5.4.x versions of xz.

🚨 ⚠️ Emergency PSA: A critical security exploit was discovered in the xz package recently, used for compression and decompression on nearly all Linux distributions.
Rawhide users ARE impacted and should immediately STOP using Rawhide until the package update is fully rolled back. (1/3)
Security Advisory: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users
The vulnerability may be present in Fedora 40 but it is not believed to be activated. Fedora 40 users are advised to use caution and update their systems soon when the rolled-back version is available, for more certainty.
Fedora 39 and 38 users are not impacted. (2/3)

Sure, technically everything works fine on operating systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Debian, #Fedora etc. and all my monitoring, backup and admin infrastructure is #IPv6 only for years. But dealing with clients is something different. I think most clients already support #DualStack, especially within my circle but it could still be annoying for people that are forced to use #IPv4 only.
