It's very unusual to have two partitions on the same device provide
Physical Volumes for a single Volume Group.  It may be that none of
the space on sda4 is in use, and it might be removed and the space
used for something (like extending sda5).

Earlier you showed the output of `mount` and the output of `lvdisplay`.
fedora_localhost-live/home does not appear to be in use, though swap
and root are used.  Whatever is asking for a password for home appears
to be failing.  Possibly any password would work as well.  Mounting
home might show that it is empty and simply a waste of 33 GB.

This all seems confused enough that starting over might be best.
