F25, Electrum and Trezor
by Mark 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi I'm testing Electrum on Fedora 25 and I'm missing the support for hardware wallet that Electrum is supposed to have. Do I need to install some additional package or has this feature been omitted? Cheers Mark

Terrible F25 WiFi Performance
by Christopher 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Since I upgraded to Fedora 25, I've had terrible network performance, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Any suggestions for troubleshooting or optimization? Any known issues with the "Intel Wireless 7265D" card or the "iwlwifi" driver in F25? Everything worked great in F24, but since F25, I get poor download speeds, and *REALLY* poor upload speeds. I should get a steady 25/25 Mbps down/up. Instead, I get an unsteady 6-20 Mbps down, and only ~1 Mbps up. I've ruled out everything but Fedora 25 (same hardware works fine in F24 and Windows), and it's making me kinda want to go back to F24. :( -- Christopher

r8712u driver fails in F25
by David A. De Graaf 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

The r8712u driver from the staging area has stopped working in Fedora 25. This driver supports (among others) my emergency USB DLink DWA-130 adapter that I use when the laptop's built in wireless (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac) is "too advanced" to connect to some old wireless router. The r8712u driver works just fine in Fedora 24 and it seems to be substantially unchanged. I ran 'modinfo r8712u' on both F24 and F25 and diff'd them. The only differences are in the filesystem locations and labelling. There was no other substantial difference. I've monitored dmesg while plugging the DLink adapter in and it's apparent that 1 - it is detected with proper vendor and product IDs. 2 - the r8712u module is selected and registered. 3 - the correct firmware is loaded from rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin 4 - an endless stream of messages ensues: [ 262.524809] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready and, of course, the new interface never becomes available to NetworkManager. What's gone wrong? Why does the same driver work in Fedora 24 but not in Fedora 25? How do I regain operability? -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc. Hendersonville, NC dad(a)datix.us www.datix.us

gphoto2 problem -
by Bob Goodwin 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

. About a week ago I began to have a problem with gphoto2 which normally just works. I don't use it every day and I don't know exactly when it began doing this but there were updates from Fedora and Apple. The only thing I found via Google was mention of a lock problem and this does not appear to be a lock problem. The camera is detected: photosnew]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- Apple iPhone 5 (PTP mode) usb:003,006 [bobg@box10 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files However any command to download from the camera yields the following error: photosnew]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files *** Error *** PTP Invalid Storage ID *** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') *** For debugging messages, please use the --debug option. Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem. If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto developer mailing list <gphoto-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, please run gphoto2 as follows: env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --get-all-files Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments. I dunno what to do, any help appreciated, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-25/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Networkmanagre Refuses to use my Dlink DWA-192 USB Wifi Device in F24
by Stephen Morris 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi, Some time ago I was using this device on the 2.4GHz channel (Linux has always refused to use the 5GHz channel, I say Linux, because Ubuntu has always refused to use the 5GHz channel as Fedora has always refused to) and when it was working it was via the ATH9K driver. I switched the network to using Ethernet devices which are still working fine, but I wanted to go back to wifi again because the wifi throughput is potentially faster (the Ethernet devices sends/receives at 500Mbps whereas the 2.4GHz channel on wifi sends/receives at 600Mbps, if I could ever get the 5GHz channel working it sends/receives at 1300Mbps), but Networkmanager refuses to activate the wifi device now. How do I identify whether its the 4.8 kernels which are the issue or whether its Networkmanager and how do I rectify the situation? I am using kde at the moment and I have cut and pasted the wifi password back into the Networkmanager definition, and had the new password stored in Kwallet, but Networkmanager still refuses to recognize that the device is a device it can connect to. I should also add that the device works fine under Windows 10. regards, Steve

F24>F25 system-upgrade : how to recover half-done upgrade ?
by sean darcy 09 Mar '17

I'm trying to upgrade an older machine from F24 to F25. It failed half-way through : ................ dnf[627]: Installing : kernel-core-4.9.10-200.fc25.x86_64 1079/3109 dnf[627]: Installing : kernel-modules-4.9.10-200.fc25.x86_64 1080/3109 thermal thermal_zone0: critical temperature reached(97 C),shutting down ...... I'll fix the fan. But where do I go ? dnf system-upgrade reboot ? Or start all over again with download ? sean

Mount of NAS Ethernet Connect to Router Fails at Boot Time for CIFS Interface in F24
by Stephen Morris 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi, My Nas device now fails to mount at boot time via the CIFS definition in fstab but the corresponding NFS definition mounts quite happily. Also after the system comes up and I log into KDE I can manually mount the CIFS device. As far as I am aware the only difference between when it was mounting at boot time and now is several system updates, also the system update I did yesterday morning (which updated several hundred packages, which included a new kernel) has not rectified the issue. The systemctl output is below, I have blanked out the userid and password for security reasons. Does anyone have any ideas why this has now stopped working? systemctl status mnt-nas.mount ● mnt-nas.mount - /mnt/nas Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; bad; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-01-17 06:40:15 AEDT; 40min ago Where: /mnt/nas What: //192.168.1.12/Volume_1 Docs: man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8) Process: 1299 ExecMount=/usr/bin/mount //192.168.1.12/Volume_1 /mnt/nas -t cifs -o username=********,password=********,cache=strict,_netdev,rw (code=exited, status=32) Jan 17 06:40:15 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/nas...

Odd ping problem
by Gary Stainburn 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Here's an odd one for you. I have a Fedora 19 box - GROUCHO - that is the DNS/DHCP/email/...... server for one of my LANs On there I have a home-grown network status monitor which pings a list of IP's and monitors the state, reporting anything that goes missing. The IP address of this host is 10.6.1.1/24 I also have a Centos 7 box - ZEPPO - on the same subnet/VLAN. This box is a file/print server. This box has two IP addresses 10,6.1.3/24 and 10.6.1.101/24 Groucho happily pings Zeppo on the 10.6.1.101 address. I have now added a USB WiFi dongle to Zeppo and configured it using nmtui. This is to put Zeppo onto the WiFi and enable Air Printing from IPads. All of this works perfectly fine, and no other devices have any issues - except groucho. If the WiFi link is up on Zeppo, Groucho cannot ping it. If the WiFi link is down on Zeppo, Groucho can ping it. As I say, the WiFi link state doesn not affect any other device, Linux or otherwise. Neither device have firewalling enabled (for this testing) and both devices have very simple routing tables. Even when Groucho cannot ping Zeppo, Zeppo can still ping Groucho --------------------------------------------------- [root@zeppo ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.1 10.6.103.254 255.255.255.255 UGH 600 0 0 wlp0s26u1u2 10.6.1.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.101 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.103.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 600 0 0 wlp0s26u1u2 [root@zeppo ~]# nmcli con up RW54254 Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/2) [root@zeppo ~]# --------------------------------------------------- [root@groucho ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p4p1 10.6.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 p4p1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 p4p1 [root@groucho ~]# ping zeppo PING zeppo.ringways.co.uk (10.6.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data.
