Error to install Kinto in Fedora 35 #660
Comments
Looks like you are missing dependencies such as gcc to properly compile xkeysnail (a component needed for kinto). Resolve the gcc & related dependencies by using your distros package manager to get those installed. The kinto installer typically should install all dependencies needed though, so not sure why it wouldn't be resolving that for you already. |
Fedora 35 (and 36, I think) needs a couple of packages like At the moment I can't recall if the service will run successfully on F35/F36, or I just gave up fixing the permission error and converted Kinto to run as non-sudo user by following Lenbok's instructions from this thread: |
In a VM with Fedora 36 beta, I get the "Unit xkeysnail.service could not be found." error in the terminal when checking the service status, and the Kinto GUI log window just shows "Permission denied" over and over again. I've just been in the habit of running Kinto as user on Fedora recently. It's the simplest way to bypass the SELinux issues. |
Hi @RedBearAK , thanks for answering, I have followed the following steps:
After installing the packages, the terminal opened with the following error:
I did these steps to add the user
After restarting, the program runs, the icon is seen correctly, but the error that you tell me continues, permission denied, for that there is no solution in fedora?. Thank you |
Disable SELinux by following this tutorial: https://tecadmin.net/how-to-disable-selinux-on-fedora/ Everything seems to be working fine now, thanks for the help. |
Yes, setting SELinux to permissive mode was the original solution to running the Kinto service on Fedora, which ordinarily needs to run as root. But that was never the best solution, because it reduces the intended security level of your Fedora install. By following the instructions to put the user in the Your method of making SELinux permissive will work fine without going to all the additional trouble to run Kinto as user. |
After It's not letting It is at this point that I have had quite enough SELinux nonsense for one day. But maybe the "suggests" from this will be helpful later.

Issue is now resolved and via the normal selinux resolution that was already worked out. The issue was that Fedora in version 35 & 36 uses a different distro name from the one I had previously established. Previously it was literally "fedora", but now it is "fedoralinux" for some odd reason and that broke a lot of what was worked out already for its successful install. @Fedex159

Oh, wow. Figures it would be something so simple. That's excellent news. Initial testing on an F36 beta VM (well, with updates should be full F36 by now) shows the new version works not just the first time but also survives a reboot and keeps working. Looks good to me. I should be able to close at least one other issue about Fedora now. Thanks! |
