installing Fedora 24 on (originally) efi systems
by Ranjan Maitra 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, I have an ASUS R503U which originally came with a Windoze8.1 installation. I have no need for it so I scrapped it. I also, consequently have no need for EFI. I was wondering if it is required for me to install Fedora 24 on an EFI system. I can not seem to get out of EFI so maybe what I am looking to do is not possible. Is it possible to do the same in an old grub setup. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Strange F24 upgrade
by CLOSE Dave 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

I have several machines I've recently upgraded from F23 to F24 using DNF. Daily upgrades of F24 packages on most of them are proceeding as expected. But this morning I found one that did a very peculiar "upgrade". Details below. # cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four) # rpm -q fedora-release fedora-release-24-2.noarch # uname -a Linux <machine> 4.6.6-300.fc24.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 10 21:07:35 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /var/log/dnf.rpm.log ... Sep 07 23:31:25 INFO Upgraded: goffice-0.10.32-1.fc23.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:28 INFO Upgraded: gnumeric-1:1.12.32-1.fc23.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:28 INFO Upgraded: perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-ECDSA-0.08-1.fc23.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:29 INFO Upgraded: duplicity-0.7.10-1.fc23.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:29 INFO Cleanup: gnumeric-1:1.12.31-1.fc24.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:29 INFO Cleanup: goffice-0.10.30-1.fc24.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:29 INFO Cleanup: perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-ECDSA-0.07-4.fc24.x86_64 Sep 07 23:31:29 INFO Cleanup: duplicity-0.7.09-1.fc24.x86_64 ... So, it appears that, having been asked to do a routine upgrade, DNF chose to /downgrade/ these four packages to their F23 versions. Why? Is it just because the F23 versions are numerically greater than the F24 versions? But how is DNF even finding the F23 packages in the F24 repos? -- Dave Close

huge java speedup on arm32 via java-1.8.0-openjdk-aarch32
by Jiri Vanek 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hello good people of Fedora! Most of you is probably facing very slow java (java-1.8.0-openjdk) on any arm32 device. The luckier from you already tuned arm32 boards to not need java at all. But behold! The "new"[0] OpenJDK for arm32 crossed milestone when it can be widely used. If you need java on your arm32 board, try to replace (or install alongside) your java-1.8.0-openjdk special package java-1.8.0-openjdk-aarch32 The theoretical speedup[1] is aprox 100x faster. Practical speedup is somewhere between 10x-50x (for now). You can see it in koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=780150 - java build by "normal" java on aarch32 - 13 hours http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=802986 - java build by "new" java on aarch32 - 2 hours We have already slowly started to enable virtual java provides: f24 - no f25 - java f26 - java+java-devel Please *don't* change your specfiles (if any) to something like: ifarch arm32 BuildRequires java-1.8.0-openjdk-aarch32-devel else BuildRequires java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel fi You will mess up things a lot. The provides will come with stability and in longer run the package will be merged back to java-1.8.0-openjdk packages (as it is still the same friendly openjdk, just with different virtual machine) hth J.

Firefox slow to recognize inputs after screen unlock
by Javier Perez 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi Has anyone had this problem? After I unolock the screen, firefox seem slow to recognize mouse or keyboard input. There is a period of about three minutes where no matter what I do it will not register with firefox (switch tabs, try to click on link, etc.). I can switch and move windows, and terminal and other programs recognize the input without problems. I am using Fedora 24, XFCE ( but I think something similar happened also with KDE. Linux 4.7.4-200 Firefox 48.01 How can I start troubleshooting this? -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

keyboard icons for ibus
by François Patte 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Bonjour, I want to add an input method to ibus: so I created a new file in /usr/share/m17n and a new png icon in /usr/share/m17n/icons. I can access this new input method in ibus preferences, but the icon of this input method is not displayed when I switch to my input method... Only a gear is displayed. Does anybody know if there is some icon database to update for m17n? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Hello, Finally, I still do not know how to manage the schedule for cron.weekly and cron.daily, since /etc/anacrontab or /etc/crontab are just ignored in fc24.

network manager applet in f24
by François Patte 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Bonjour, There is something wrong with this applet in f24: when the computer resumes from suspend, the applet shows as if the network was not connected. In fact it is connected but, it impossible to change the connection, ie.: if before going to suspend, the computer was connected on a wifi, it is still conected to the same wifi but it is impossible to change this or to use an ethernet connction...

grub2 resolution and nvidia driver
by François Patte 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Bonjour, I have 2 computers with nvidia video cards (not the same) and at boot time the grub2 resolution is correct for one and not for the other one. /etc/default/grub are almost the same for both computers (the screen resolutions are not the same) GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND="vbe" GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm" GRUB_GFXMODE="1280x1024" (or 1440x900) GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep" At boot time, the "splash screen" (/boot/grub2/themes/system/fireworks.png) has a correct resolution for both computers, but after that, the display of boot messages is correct for on computer (ie. the resolution is kept) and for the other one, the resolution falls back to a default one (something like 640x480). Any clue? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

diff or deduplicate two volumes with different folder structures
by Chris Murphy 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Drives A and B have many overlapping files but I want to find out what files don't exist on each. Thwarting this is directory structure differs between the two drives, and I'm fairly certain some of the file names differ on the two drives also. Therefore I need something hash based. I started with this: $ find /brickA -type f -exec md5sum "{}" + > brickA.txt $ find /brickB -type f -exec md5sum "{}" + > brickB.txt What I need next is to: Make a copy of the files, brickAcopy.txt and brickBcopy.txt Loop: Extract each md5sum in brickA.txt, grep for it in brickAcopy.txt and brickBcopy.txt, and if it's found in both, delete the line in both files. What remains in each file are paths to files that don't exist on the other drive. This must be a solved problem, so I'm open to alternative approaches. Both drives use Btrfs, I can create snapshots and perform a "dedup" operation on those snapshots directly. Ideally the dedup would delete the files in both snapshots (i.e. it'd be considered data loss if it weren't for the snapshots) just to save time. But if necessary I'll just do a one way dedup with the two operations reversed and suffer the extra processing time. Ideas? -- Chris Murphy

build xorg-x11-drv-libinput-0.19.1-1.fc24 ?
by Konstantin Svist 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Hi, The touchpad driver handling has been switched over from synaptics to libinput recently (libinput 1.5.0), but the libinput xorg driver is a bit behind -- it doesn't provide an option to swap tap-to-click buttons. There are test builds for fc25 and fc26 (see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=18894), but nothing for fc24... Who can I ask to build this in Koji?
