Did you read the bug I cited? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1769215 It's supposed to be fixed now. If you're seeing something different than what's reported in that bug, then it needs a new bug filed. If it's the same thing, you need to let them know what version you're using and that it's not fixed. That bug also has a couple of workarounds depending on the hardware - it seems if you enable TPM in the firmware setup it goes away. In my case, it was already enabled but there are other kernel bugs related to the TPM I have, so I removed that particular package. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
