Fan/sleep/hibernation issues on Dell Optiplex 780 usff fedora 22
by Matt Morgan 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

I have F22 on my son's Optiplex 780 ultra-small form factor. We seem to have a variety of (maybe related) power management issues. First, the fan often goes full-speed and starts making lots of noise. Usually this is when the computer is actually doing more work, like running Minecraft. Sometimes it happens when watching Youtube videos. Since these are the two main things he does with the computer, it pretty much always happens eventually. Second, when this happens, and he then suspends the computer, the fan stays on during suspend. It never quiets down. So I don't think the computer is suspending properly. Third, if I hibernate the computer, the fan shuts off, but the computer actually shuts down--when he returns from hibernation, he has to log in to a new session, his apps have all shut down, etc. I used to use this computer (several years ago--it was probably F16, maybe 18) and I don't recall these issues, so I believe they must be fixable. I tried installing TLP, not expecting much from it on a desktop, but figuring it wouldn't hurt, and it didn't appear to change anything. Any advice about where to start with this? Thanks, Matt

intel graphics driver fails to detect resolution
by Neal Becker 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

It seems if I plug in an external projector, using displayport with a vga adapter, I can only get the resolution choice detected if I reboot. Using kde/settings/display+monitor, the resolution is unavailable, unless I reboot. Any suggestion?

Fedora 23 log out automatically when login session left idle
by Jon Ingason 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

I newly upgraded one of my machine from F22 to F23 (Gnome) and got following problem: I start the machine and login. Open a terminal and do what I need to do ( update, ... etc). Then I left it idle for awhile. The screen locks. Later after couple of minutes I tray to unlock it and if the idle time is short nearly always I succeed to log in. Otherwise I get the login menu and can select user to login. The problem it that when I have typed in the password I come again to the login menu. I can switch to one of the VT (virtual terminal) and login there, but if I try to switch back either nothing happens or I get login menu but can't login. I have search for this but has not found exact same problem. There is a reported bug which describe similar problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266587 But any workaround given there didn't help. My questions are: - Have someone else seen this? - How to troubleshoot? - Do I open new bug report? -- Regards Jon Ingason

IPv6 and NetworkManager
by Gordon Messmer 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

On most of the networks where I have hosts, the Ethernet interface has an inet6 address with a 64 bit netmask and flags "scope global noprefixroute dynamic." On a Comcast Business network, though, my hosts have one inet6 address with a 64 bit netmask and the same flags, plus another inet6 address with a 128 bit netmask and flags "scope global dynamic." Testing shows that these hosts use the address with the 128 bit netmask by default as the source address for outbound connections. I'm a little confused about the details here. Why are my hosts getting multiple addresses with different prefixes?

Screen Blacking out Reliably After 15 Seconds Inactivity
by Tim Evans 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

F23: Linux harrier 4.4.7-300.fc23.x86_64 running on a Lenovo T530 with Intel graphics: lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64 Screen is blacking out reliably after 15 second of inactivity. Touching the mousepad lights it back up, but often with a different app on screen. Does not occur in Windows 10, so would not seem to be hardware-related. Presumably, this is an X thing. Anyone else seeing anything like this? -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117

F23 dracut can't find disk
by CLOSE Dave 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

I have five machines which were fresh-installed with F23 back in February and all have been booted successfully a few times since. Today, booting of all of them fails in exactly the same way: dracut says it can't find the disk filesystems. The kernel boots as it should, and of course that comes from the disk, but then dracut comes along and says it can't find any of the filesystems. Not the root or home filesystems which are on LVM or the boot filesystem on a primary disk partition. Everything on the disk is ok. I've checked by booting Anaconda from a thumb drive and mounting manually. Anaconda troubleshooting mode says it can't find the filesystems either ("you have no Linux partitions"), but running vgchange -ay and a few mounts gets a proper chroot image. There must be something that is causing both dracut and Anaconda to fail to find the filesystems. I've tried following the instructions on <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems>, but that isn't helping: dracut:/# parted /dev/sda -s p sh: parted: command not found dracut:/# lvm vgscan File descriptor 98 (/dev/console) leaked on lvm invocation. Parent PID 2679: sh File descriptor 99 (/dev/console) leaked on lvm invocation. Parent PID 2679: sh Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... dracut:/# lvm vgchange -ay File descriptor 98 (/dev/console) leaked on lvm invocation. Parent PID 2679: sh File descriptor 99 (/dev/console) leaked on lvm invocation. Parent PID 2679: sh dracut:/# blkid dracut:/# Note that when booted from the thumb drive, vgchange finds the LVM volumes just fine. -- Dave Close
