Dnf autoremove question

Ask Fedora
, ,
1

I’ve been having trouble with my Wacom tablet. The system has been through a number of upgrades and, after a recent update, refused to boot. In looking through documentation I found the dnf autoremove command. A test run “dnf autoremove --store=Documents --assumeno” returned a list of 431 files - about 2GB - of supposedly no longer used files. While some of these show they’ve been around since F30-something, a lot of them show they belong to F42 which is what I’m currently running.

so - dumb question - How reliable is the autoremove option? Should I start with only the pre-f42 files or just do them all at once?

I use it regular over years after upgrades to a new release.

No trouble here.

there’s also a package “remove-retired-packages” what should “Remove retired distribution’s packages”

AFAIK it removes only between n-1 and n-release (running F43 then between F43 and F43)

anyway, as long as you keep a file about what autoremove did you could reinstall missing package (and automatically get the current package version)

Note

I usuallay do only 5 release updgrades after that I install new to have a clean(er) box.

At least to me, these three topics sound as if they are unrelated to each other:

  1. System doesn’t (or didn’t?) boot after a recent update.
  2. Problems (which kind?) with your Wacom tablet.
  3. Cleaning up packages that are no longer needed from the system with dnf autoremove.

How did the “refused to boot” issue manifest itself?

What kind of problems are you experiencing with the Wacom tablet?

The dnf autoremove operation should be safe and reliable. Posting the list of packages that would get removed should let others help you find out if anything vital would get removed (it shouldn’t).

However, dnf autoremove should not affect either issue 1) (problem booting) nor issue 2) (drawing tablet).

After a recent update - couldn’t get into my system, I had to use rescue image, the fix seemed to be to delete PackageKit-Qt5. At any rate, I got back in, had GUI, everything seemed to work much as it had before that particular update.

Wacom tablet/stylus has had “issues” since upgrading to F40(?) but only under KDE/Plasma. It seems to work fine under Gnome. It also worked okay on a virtual F43 KDE image.

  • Apparent buffer overflows (get out of a program and the cursor just keeps wandering around the screen, selecting/highlighting various items)

  • In Stitchmastery, I can select a color/stitch using the stylus but can’t fill in any data. Sometimes if I select a space on the right of the chart and the color appears on the left & it will only fill one square.

  • Sometimes when I try to select another application window (go from Firefox to Office) the system won’t respond to the stylus but will answer the mouse.

The autoremove option was an attempt to see if there might be other old files “interfering” with the tablet. After removing the files, I rebooted and still have the same issue with the tablet. Tablet works fine under F42 Gnome with Xorg.

it seemed to work - no problems afterwards, no fixes either.

Last time I tried re-installing Linux (don’t recall the distro) it turned into a disaster. I’m not eager to repeat the process.

If you are able to spend time finding relevant error messages you can often find much better solutions than simply reinstalling. Start by proving enough detail to allow others with similar hardware to reproduce the issue. Please mention your Wacom model and also post the output from running inxi -Fzxx in a terminal. If your Wacom device is connected USB, try starting journalctl —no-hostame —follow in a terminal and look for errors when the USB connector is plugged in.

Some Wacom devices emulate simple generic devices, but require Wacom software for full functionality. Have you installed any Wacom packages? In the past, Wacom support has helped me with Linux issues.

Edit: type inxf → inxi (may need to be installed with sudo dnf install inxi)

I have an old Bamboo Fun model CTH-661. I’ve used it for years without any noticeable problem. It’s plugged into a USB slot - I unplugged it to get the journal entry.

I tried running inxf -Fzxx I get an error from bash “inxf command not found.”

journalctl —-no-hostname —follow gave me:

No Wacom-specific software is installed. Since tablet support was added to the kernel some years back, there hasn’t been any need for it. I don’t think Wacom offers support for the Bamboo Fun any more.

Sorry – command should have been inxi and may need to be installed. https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:056a-00d3 shows that your model is detected a few systems, but is not shown as “working” on any of them, so yours seems be in the same category.

What does libwacom-list-local-devices show? man libwacom-list-local-devices has a link to the github site for libwacom. You may find the README document helpful. You may need to install the libwacom-utils package so you can verify that your device is listed:

% libwacom-list-devices | grep '056a.*00d3'
- { bus: 'usb',       vid: '0x056a', pid: '0x00d3', name: 'Wacom Bamboo Fun medium (2FG)', uniq: '' }
```

The tablet worked fine up through F40. Upgrading to F41 caused the problems and F42 didn’t improve anything.
