[Question] I need a comand to enable wifi after reboot each time. How i fix it? - (Macbook pro 13 2011) [Fedora 40]
I've installed fedora 40 on my jurassic Macbook 13 2011 and so far i'm in love with it. The only issue was the wifi. I've checked different posts and articles and in the end i've find this [https://darryldias.me/2020/linux-wifi-drivers-for-2012-macbook-pro-offline-method/] which worked... up to a point. When i turn off or restart the machine i have to use the comand "sudo modprobe -v b43" to enable the wifi each time.
Any idea?

Cannot edit Syncthing config file if my life depended on it.
I'm trying to set up Syncthing on Fedora Server OS (40). I followed the docs, the systemd service is up and running. Ports are open in the firewall, that's all good.
I've found in many, many, many Google searches that in order to access the WebUI via a local network machine (which is the only way I can) you need to update the config in order to allow this - changing the web GUI port from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0. I found a config file and made that change. I have done every combination of stopping the service, restarting the service, updating the config, and restarting the daemon. I have even restarted the entire server. Every single time the server starts, the god damned logs say the web GUI is available via 127.0.0.1:8384. I cannot get it to open to the local network. I cannot find any other config files. I don't know how else to do this. If anyone has any advice, I would be very much obliged.

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/14160134
> I want to reset my server soon and I'm toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my desktop computer and find the declarativeness pretty cool (but I'm still a complete beginner) and could imagine that it would fit well into a server setup. > > I have quite a few services running on my server, such as Nextcloud, Conduit (Matrix), Jellyfin, etc. and all in containers. I would also rather not install programs without containers, because 1. compose is super easy to maintain and set up, 2. it remains very clear with containers (and compose) and 3. I believe that containers are more secure. But since I also want to make the services inside the containers available, I currently have Nginx installed as a reverse proxy (not in the container, but on the system) and always create certificates with certbot so that I can use HTTPS encryption. > > In the paragraph above I actually described exactly the use-case of Fedora CoreOS, but I have no experience with the system and how it works. That's why I'm still a bit hesitant at considering the OS at the moment. > I can imagine that NixOS with its declarative nature seems well suited, since, as I have heard, you can configure containers as well as Nginx and with Nginx also https certificates declaratively. > But I could also use a base system like before (Fedora Server or Ubuntu Server) and simply install podman, nginx and certbot and manage everything that way. > > Have you had any experience with Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS or a completely different operating system for servers and what are/were your impressions with this setup? Or do you just want to share your knowledge here? I would be delighted.

Random resume (after suspend) issue on ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen3 (Radeon 680M, Ryzen 7)
Hi, since 2 or 3 weeks, may be more, I don't remember, my laptop, a Thinpad T14s AMD gen3, powered by Fedora 39 Gnome Wayland, randomly, the suspension cannot be restored, I have to do a hard reboot/reset.
This is the last line in journald:

I researched on ask fedora, no success.
I also searched on RedHat Bugzilla, I only found this slightly related to my problem "Radeon on Wayland - Black screen/crash on suspend/resume" but contrary to the description in this bug report, my problem only happens randomly. I'm not able to reproduce it with any certainty.
Am I the only one with this problem?
Do you have an idea of a direction in which I could explore to correct this problem?
Best regards, Stéphane

Questions about stability and Nvidia performance on vanilla Fedora (Gnome) vs KDE
Hi! I have some newb-ish questions, and I was hoping some Fedora veterans could help me out.
I have been using the KDE spin of Fedora since 36, and I love it. I distro-hopped for years, but I have not had any interest since landing on Fedora. I have been using the KDE spin because I love KDE. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich and customizable it is. It can really be anything I need it to be, and it's amazing.
With that said, there are two recent happenings that have made me question whether I should switch to the original GNOME version:
-
I've been having some minor issues lately with F39, like audio not working after I reboot, so I had to eeventuakly remove it altogether and use pipewire, which has been working better. Nothing big, but minor issues like that. I've heard that the GNOME version performs better and is more stable/has less bugs, but idk if there's any truth to it?
-
I have an Nvidia GPU. Wayland support is pretty bad for me, and I've been relying on X11 all this time. Recently, it was confirmed that Fedora will be dropping X11 support altogether in F40. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used both KDE and Gnome with an Nvidia GPU that can tell me if there's any difference in Wayland performance?
I kinda don't want to switch to GNOME, because I love KDE, but if it will make my experience better, then I think it's probably worth a shot.

Mullvad working with Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite
Finally found a work around for getting the mullvad client working on immutables like Silverblue/MicoOs
From this post: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1570
- Install the RPM
2. Run
sudo systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon
3. Run
sudo rpm-ostree install libappindicator-gtk3
as it is not installed by default on Kinoite.4. Reboot. Live applying will not work.
My guess is that now that the Mullvad binaries and services are not symlinked, they work.
Silverblue users only need these three steps:
Install the RPM Reboot Run sudo systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon in Terminal

Smartcard Setup Help-Request for RHEL8 Using Active Directory without IDM
So, some background: my organization is moving from RHEL7 using the UI/Coolkey Smartcard setup for autolock on removal and authenticating to the AD. We are in the process of upgrading to RHEL8 in our Secure Area (which means local only connections with zero internet access). This process has been insanely complicated versus RHEL7 and it seems no matter how similar the guides, I just can't figure it out. Our support plan with RedHat is the one answer/email per 24 hours one (I have no control over this) and has been next to worthless. I am going to detail out what all i've done and hopefully someone here can see where I am missing my last keystone.
- On Windows Server 2019:
- Open mmc.exe
- File \> Add/Remove Snap-in... 2a. Certificates \> "add\>" \> My User Acount
- Trust Root Certificate Authorities 3a. CA \> All Tasks \> Export 3b. Certificate Export Wizard \> Next \> DER Encoded Library x.509 (.CER) \> name the file "ca\_root.cer" \> choose the destination \> Next \> 'Summary of Details' \> Finish
- scp the certificate to my RHEL8 box
- On RHEL8
- openssl x509 -inform der -in ca\_root.cer -out ca\_root.pem
- dnf install -y samba-common samba-common-tools oddjob-mkhomedir sssd authselect nss-tools ccid pcsc-lite pcsc-lite-devel pcsc-tools opensc gnutls-utils
- mkdir -p /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors
- cp ca\_root.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
- sudo update-ca-trust
- sudo certutil -A -i /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca\_root.pem -n CA\_ROOT -t CT,C,C -d /etc/pki/nssdb
- systemctl enable oddjobd.service
- systemctl start oddjobd.service
- touch /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
- chmod 600 touch /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
- chown root:root /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
- vim /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
``` [sssd] config_file_version = 2 domains = mydomain.local services = nss, pam, pac
[domain/MYDOMAIN.LOCAL] id_provider = ad auth_provider = ad chpass_provider = ad access_provider = ad cache_credentials = true
[pam] pam_cert_auth = True
```
- systemctl enable sssd.service
- systemctl start sssd.service
- vim /etc/krb5.conf
```
To opt out of the system crypto-policies configuration of krb5, remove the
symlink at /etc/krb5.conf.d/crypto-policies which will not be recreated.
includedir /etc/krb5.conf.d/
[logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
[libdefaults] dns_lookup_realm = false ticket_lifetime = 24h renew_lifetime = 7d forwardable = true rdns = false pkinit_anchors = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt spake_preauth_groups = edwards25519 default_realm = MYDOMAIN.LOCAL default_ccache_name = KEYRING:persistent:%{uid}
```
- realm join -U myadminuser MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
- Verify the above sssd and krb5 files are largely unmodified, which each time I test appears to be the case.
- Enable authselect to handle the smartcards:
``` authselect select sssd with-smartcard with-smartcard-required with-smartcard-lock-on-removal --force
```
- I am able to use pcsc\_scan, pkcs11\_listcerts, and pkcs11\_inspects to see that my Dell KB813t is recognized along with my smartcard, the certs on the card, and I can login with my pin on my RHEL7 and Windows 10 boxes. However, when I go to the RHEL8 Login Screen it just says:
Please (Re)Insert (Different) Smartcard
I am never able to get it to work unless I SSH in and remove the authselect stuff, login with my username and password, or while SSH'd in I check for /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages which show the same message as well as "unable to authenticate", but it never asks for my pin like the RHEL7 or Win10 boxes and I've tried following guides on RedHat, VMware, scribd, buildingtents, Citrix, beyondtrust, Fedora, Reddit, and I even to lookup how other you'd do it for SUSE or Ubuntu, but no matter what guide I follow I end up at the same dead end. I see so many dead threads or reddit posts asking the same question "how do I setup smart card on RHEL8?" which either ends in "Okay I figured it out!" or they just go dead. Hopefully someone here can help piece the missing puzzle pieces together for me.

How does Fedora's package update scheme work?
Coming from other distros like Debian or Ubuntu, I'm used to package versions being set at the moment a distro version is released, and then those packages pretty much just get bugfixes until the next version of the distro in 6 months/2 years/etc.
I started using Fedora recently, but it looks like for a lot of packages, all currently supported Fedora versions get the updates, not just the testing branch (for instance, when Plasma 5.27 came out, every active Fedora version was updated).
Does Fedora just use distro version numbers for specific core package versions, or is there something I'm missing here?

It shouldn't come as much surprise for those familiar with Fedora given its tendency to always ship with the very latest open-source compiler toolchain components, but this autumn's release of Fedora 39 will once again have all the leading-edge GNU compiler pieces.
