Sinmce some people here are using LSPs with their favourite editors, I wanted to ask what's the best way to install them? Do you just add the packages, use them in a distrobox or from brew?
Best way to pin Nvidia drivers to specific version
Hello, the latest nvidia drivers make my entire desktop crash when closing GTK apps, and I want to pin it to the previous version. What would be the simplest / recommended way to do this (I still want to receive updates for other things)?
Solution:
ill just wait for the new driver release and keep the image version pinned
Recommended unattend install method for BlueBuild images?
I would like to do a bare metal install on my computers using a custom image built with BlueBuild and have it be completely unattended. Right now I can build an ISO image and write it to a USB drive per documentation. But being relatively new to the Fedora ecosystem, I'm not sure which tool(s) I should be using to a) create the user account info and b) how I can inject or side-car that info into the installation process.
I've used cloud-init in the Ubuntu space. Not sure if that's relevant here. Searching has also turned up Ignition/Butane and Kickstart. It's not clear to me which tool is the best fit for this job.
I tried using Butane to generate an ignition file, and then tried to inject that into the ISO using coreos-installer, but that last part failed - unsurprisingly - since I'm building a Aurora based image....
Solution:
Ultimately the answer for Aurora (which I was customizing): Create an ISO / image / USB drive with a volume label of
OEMDRV and place the Kickstart file named ks.cfg in the root of this drive. Anaconda based installers look for a volume of this label by default and will pick up the Kickstart file automatically. To generate a good starting point for the Kickstart file, you can do a manual install first and then grab the generated file from that install process at `/var/roothome/anaconda-ks.cf...setup on Gitlab with build --push: how to extract files from local image?
I jump through several loops to get my images scanned with trivy and data visualised with gitlab.
1)
trivy image fails to scan because the rpmdb.sqlite is in the wrong place and trivy does not follow symlinks: https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy/discussions/9188#discussioncomment-14162815
2) I run rpm -qa in the image and pipe the output outside the image to construct an SBOM file that can be read with trivy sbom...I can't use rechunker in GitLab?
I'm trying GitLab this time instead of GitHub. While rechunker seems to work fine in GH side, I can't say the same for GitLab.

kargs module not working for me
Weirdly enough, the kargs module seems to not work properly for me. It creates the file in /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/bluebuild-args.toml and then i upgrade with bootc. But after a reboot, it didn't stick. I saw it working one time for sure in the last week, but right now bootc seems to ignore it for some reason
i need help to build an image with a default fedora image (like the sway atomic)
the ublue-main image wont play nice with my image, but building the image with a defauly fedora image wont really work properly
Installing SDK with multiple branches as default flatpak
Hey,
Got a question about installing an sdk with different branches as a default Flatpak app using Bluebuild.
I've tried to add
org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive to my default-flatpaks list, but then it doesn't install this.
...gschema module not applying overrides consistently
I've been trying to work with the gschemas module and not seeing my overrides working consistently. I've followed the documentation closely to make sure I was doing everything as outlined.
For example, on my resulting image, I find that the setting for preferring Dark Mode worked, but the settings for tap-to-click and custom keyboard shortcuts didn't.
I started with a fresh install of plain-old-Silverblue, and didn't change any settings by hand. Am I doing something wrong, here? https://github.com/BrodyB/FedoraRemix/tree/main/files/gschema-overrides...
Solution:
Actually, solved it. The issue was there being minor syntax errors with my gschema that didn’t fail out the module. Fixing those let it go through just fine!
can't override /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh
I'm trying to change the
LXC_USE_NFT variable to "false" since that seems to solve the network issue i'm having (cannot turn on wifi on waydroid). I have a file on my recipe to override the default waydroid-net.sh but when I reboot it still has LXC_USE_NFT="true"Default Flatpaks not installing?
Hey,
I just tried out to run my own spin using BlueBuild. Everything works great, however it seems the default Flatpaks I specified are not installing.
This is the case both for my regular system which was already set up, but also when I built an ISO and installed that in GNOME Boxes. Packages that I defined to be installed in rpm-ostree work fine. The interesting thing is that the GitHub Action does seem to handle the flatpaks, as I did get an error when I pointed to a flatpak from the fedora repository (it's not on Flathub with that name, so it couldn't find it). So it's not like the default flatpaks are ignored.
...
Solution:
This got solved for me with https://github.com/blue-build/modules/pull/438

ujust error
ndowens@Revan ~ [127]> ujust
You must run ujust inside a container
I've searched bazzite's code and general web search and have not figured out where the error is coming from. I have also asked in bazzite's discord channel but seems no one can help me there either....
Solution:
what base image? and what is the output of
which ujust?Enabling lingering at build time ?
Hi bluebuild team, I wonder if there is a way to enable lingering for specific users at build time ? (I would like to do so to start the
niri.service service in systemd/user automatically at boot)Building x86_64-v2 instead of x86_64-v3
Hi all, hi @Luke Skywunker !
For my https://eu-os.eu project, I switched to AlmaLinux packages. They build by default for arch = amd64v3. On old hardware (think of schools), this does not run anylonger. Also not on my Thinkpad x220 test device. A PR is open to build the bootc image for amd64v2 as well. https://github.com/AlmaLinux/atomic-desktop/pull/38
It seems to me that bluebuild does not expose the --arch flag from podman, so I do not see how I could force bluebuild to pick one x86_64 over the other (unless I build on a device with only v2 support)....
Error in the Daily BlueBuild Job on the Files Module
The scheduled bluebuild job that came with the template, starting failing on the files module on July 1. It looks to be because of a missing directory. Is this a Module error or my configuration?
