RPi 3 extremely slow with F25. Extremely !
by linux guy 10 May '17

10 May '17

Just a note to say that I installed the Fedora KDE arm image on my RPi 3 from the link below using a Kingston class 10 SD card and it is running extremely slow. https://muug.ca/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/25/Spins/armhfp/images/Fedora-… After the second boot, I opened a console and did a 'dnf update'. With a fast ethernet connection, it has taken nearly 12 hours to complete. It is currently in the 'top' shows nothing CPU usage to be 2.3% for the top process and nothing much for anthing else. The dnf process occasionally pops up in the top list, using less than 1% of the cpu, though about 18% of memory. Is there a zombie thread running somewhere ? I'll investigate further once the update process is complete. BTW: kudos for bringing Fedora to the RPi platform. I'm so happy not to be building custom kernels and to be running the same distribution I use on my other computers. Keep up the good work !

From the implementation standpoint, this change is basically just about listing Fedora ARMv7 images in the list of available Fedora variants and also adding LZMA on-the-fly decompression for the raw images provided by fedora download mirrors. Please let me know if there are other features you'd like to have implemented. Please also note FMW is a multiplatform tool so adding things like partition layout changes on Windows (especially) and Mac would be a pretty challenging task for now - these would probably have to resort to be Linux-exclusive for some time.

BeagleBone Black status on Rawhide-20170223
by Zamir SUN 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi, I tried BB Black again on Rawhide, with compose 20170223. In short GNOME/LXDE still not showing up after boot. I did not find anything useful in the LXDE image boot log, but see many tilcdc error in Workstation image boot log like the following tilcdc 4830e000.lcdc: failed to allocate buffer with size 8294400 Most of the console logs are recorded to the following link https://zsun.fedorapeople.org/pub/bugs/Fedora-Workstation-armhfp-Rawhide-20… I find this link when googling for the tilcdc line http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg102380.html Is this relevant?

Non-working Fn key on Asus eeePC 900
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

My old Asus 900 got broken (I slipped on ice and it and its carry pouch saved me from injury, but broke the screen). It was running F21 (never got around to upgrading). Got a 'new' Asus 900. Left mouse button does not work, but I will switch mouse buttons later. I DID switch drives (and memory), and my F21/Xfce system comes right back up. Except. No Fn key, so no home or end or pgup or etc button. lsmod|grep eee shows eeepc_laptop I hope it is not a bad key, but I can switch keyboards too if needed. How do I fix this? thanks

BeagleBone Black status on Rawhide-20170120
by Zamir SUN 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi, So recently I tried armhfp of Rawhide-20170120. Things did not go smooth. First I tried Workstation, but GNOME did not show up. I thought it is simply because BeagleBone Black is not strong enough so I tried LXDE instead. However still no lucky after a long wait (more than 20 minutes). During the LXDE image boot, I find a lot of "alloc_contig_range: [94bfc, 94c00) PFNs busy" I just updated uboot, so it should not be things related with uboot. Is this a known bug? If needed I can file a bug to track this. I uploaded part my boot log (on serial console) here https://zsun.fedorapeople.org/pub/bugs/Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-Rawhide-20170120-… -- Ziqian SUN (Zamir) zsun(a)fedoraproject.org GPG : 1D86 6D4A 49CE 4BBD 72CF FCF5 D856 6E11 F2A0 525E Want to know more about Fedora?

missing ax25.ko in kernel-modules-extra
by ncjeffgus＠zimage.com 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello, I'm running Fedora 25 arm on a RPi3. I'm mainly using this particular RPi for ham stuff. Previous versions of Fedora for RPi had the ax25.ko module available, but it appears to be missing from the 'modules-extra' kernel package in the official F25 arm build. The module IS available in the x86-64 build. Is there a reason the ax25 module is not available in the arm build? Is there any chance it will be added soon? ...Jeff

The latest upgrade to 4.7.2-201.fc24.armv7hl fails to boot on Odroid XU4.

Dracut fails to build a bootable image for Odroid XU4 for the 4.7.2-201 fc24 initramfs. it seems that Dracut fails to create the Early CPIO image it needs to boot the system.
