@Doctor_Rex What happens when you boot the recovery/rescue kernel, or add the flag nomodeset to the current kernel? I feel it is booting, just not showing anything (so a GUI issue), sadly I've seen that before.

@Doctor_Rex Do you have a thunderbolt device?

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-40-returns-btrfs-error-with-kernels-6-8-9-and-6-8-10-boots-fine-with-kernel-6-8-5/118170/6

"It is a kernel regression problem, introduced in Kernel 6.8.8. Thunderbolt devices, not only external disks, are not correctly initialized."

Doctor_Rex OP ,

Thunderbolt? No.

I have a second sata ssd which I mount as my home partition.

Faresh , in [SOLVED] Fedora 40 won't boot with Kernel 6.8.10 or above

Thanks for the warning.

boredsquirrel ,

This is a specific case.

Unless you have some kind of knockoff SSD, that ūsung SSD looks like something is corrupted to me. usb 1-10 device descriptor read/64, error -71 might be unrelated.

This could be a problem with RAM defects or overclocking. If your computer is overclocked, try setting it to stock configuration. Also run a memtest to check if your RAM sticks aren’t going bad. I don’t know what might’ve changed between 6.8.9 and 6.8.10 to cause this, but it could just be a coincidence (i.e. the kernel defaulting to a different RAM page that suffers from corruption for whatever reason).

These messages are actually part of the systemd startup sequence, so the kernel has already loaded at this point. This means the problem may not be the kernel, but the initramfs installed/generated for your computer. You can try regenerating your initramfs on Fedora by running dracut --regenerate-all as root. Before you do that, you may also want to double check your /etc/fstab to make sure nothing accidentally added a swap device for some reason.

just_another_person , in [SOLVED] Fedora 40 won't boot with Kernel 6.8.10 or above

Boot to the previous kernel and run updates until you get a 6.9, or go download and install the rpms yourself.

They pushed a bad patch with 6.8.10 I think? They had to roll it back and push another real quick, but some caching issue still delivered it to a bunch of people. You should on the 6.9 line now anyway as 6.8 is EOL.

boredsquirrel ,

This.

Doctor_Rex OP ,

Sorry for responding so late I was busy at the moment.

I didn’t fully understand what you meant by " run updates until you get a 6.9"

Also what exactly should I be downloading and installing. The new patched kernel?

just_another_person ,

When you run 'dnf update ', you want it to say it’s going to install kernel 6.9.X.

Doctor_Rex OP ,

Hello I did as you advised and my system installed the kernel 6.9.4

Nothing really changed. Still hung at that same exact spot. Honestly the only thing I’d like right now is to know what Job dev-mapper-clx2dswap.device/start means

Still thank you for replying

lemmyvore ,

See if it’s the swap, disable zram and/or add a swap file.

Doesn’t have to be a swap partition, you can create a file, format it as swap and assign it in /etc/fstab.

Btw when you say you don’t have swap do you mean you don’t have regular swap file/partition (because you have zram swap) or you don’t have swap at all?

just_another_person ,

That is a systems job for finding and mounting swap space on your machine. Is it failing?

Which packages do you mean?

Markaos ,

Maybe Redis/Redict? The development on that seems pretty dead.

kilgore_trout ,

As a fork of Redis there is Valkey, maintained by the Linux Foundation and licensed under BSD-3-clause.

As I understand you take in some stream video akin to /dev/video0 and want to enlarge it so you can look at your monitor while playing? Whenever it is something with video ffmpeg can probably solve it. FFmpeg flags like -vf also work on the video player, ffplay.

trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling

At the bottom they talk about choosing scaling algorithms, try some out to see what combination of quality and speed you get.

Railison , in Ladybird announcement

We need more browser engines, especially those that are under NFP ownership. WebKit and Chromium have become too dominant.

qjkxbmwvz , in Good LTE/5G dongle for Linux?

My carrier is Google Fi — one perk is that they will give you free data-only sims (up to 10 I think?) and you just pay for the data you use like any other data. I have used old Android phones in USB tether mode this way, and it works just fine. So, rpi+old/cheap phone should do the trick.

One fun bonus is that if you tether over USB it will work as a WiFi dongle, too — the failover from WiFi to cell should happen on the phone, transparently iirc. Not sure if that affects you.

Caveat is that I did this a while ago, and their pricing structure may have changed. Finished to be a great deal but has slowly become another carrier with not much to differentiate it…

fhqwgads , in UVC Viewer with Upscaling

I believe you can change the scaling algorithm obs uses? Right click the source and go to “scale filter” is what Google is telling me, not at a computer right now. I think it defaults to bicubic which should be ok though? The switch does its own internal scaling a lot of the time and that can look pretty bad though, but unless you get into some serious shenanigans that’s basically baked in.

jimmy90 , in Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%

why do we negate chromeos we are 10% at least so there we really are

wesley ,

For starters doesn’t it only run apps from the Google play store?

technocrit ,

You can “sideload” apps outside the google store.

For example I’ve been using myinsta instead of IG. It was very easy to download and install.

jimmy90 ,

and what kernel would you say it and android runs? relevant?

dustyData ,

This is the format collision discussion that has no solution so far. A tablet that runs windows is counted as Windows. A laptop that runs android does not. Neither does an android cellphone. It all boils down to web browser user agent fuckery. This is why steam’s numbers are more reliable than other sources, they’re direct hardware surveys.

But the point is that a steam deck is not (but in a way it is basically just) a PC. There are tablets than run desktop interfaces and now there are laptops that can be used as tablet. Eventually the artificial mobile vs. PC/desktop/laptop schism will stop making sense.

jimmy90 ,

true, but in this case you can look at the same graph that was linked and see another Linux distro clearly marked that they choose not to treat as one in their headline. seems a little silly to me

porl , in End-rs : A notification daemon for WMs using eww for their widgets

Currently using gbar in Hyprland as I got a bit overwhelmed trying to learn too many things at once (gbar is very limited but simple to configure). I’ve always been thinking of moving over to a more flexible option like eww though, and this might be a good reason to do so (keeping things consistent).

IsoSpandy OP ,

Ohh eww is awesome. And don’t try to create everything from scratch, look up other people’s dot files, you will understand best practices.

If you want to take a peek … Here are my dotfiles

mexicancartel , in [SOLVED] Fedora 40 won't boot with Kernel 6.8.10 or above

Fedora’s curremt kernel version is 6.9 so test with that

Doctor_Rex OP ,

Same error
