BackupPC 4.1.0 testing needed - Any BackupPC users on the group?
by Richard Shaw 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

I have taken over maintenance of the BackupPC package and have made the update to 4.1.0 available through COPR[1] for now for a couple of reasons: 1. It's a huge change, hardlinks are no longer used for deduplication, but v4 can read v3 backups. 2. Some of the settings in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl were tweaked and need manual attention after the upgrade. See https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#BackupPC-4.0 for details. The plan is to update f26 and rawhide to v4 and leave f25 and EPEL alone. Those that want to update to v4 can use the COPR. Thanks, Richard [1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/

Restoring a QEMU snapshot
by Patrick O'Callaghan 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

I have a QEMU image snapshot: $ sudo qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 20G (21474836480 bytes) disk size: 196K cluster_size: 65536 backing file: /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 backing file format: qcow2 Format specific information: compat: 1.1 lazy refcounts: true refcount bits: 16 corrupt: false However when I try to restore the virtual disk I get: $ sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 qemu-img: Could not apply snapshot '/var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2': -2 (No such file or directory) I must be doing something obviously wrong, but can't see what it is. Hints would be appreciated. poc

vmware-tray received an X Window System error
by Dominik Kucher 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Is that a bug? i have installed today the update to 12.5.5 The program 'vmware-tray' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'. (Details: serial 2374408 error_code 141 request_code 138 minor_code 7) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) -- Dominik Kucher

monitor restarting (from sleep) issue on F25, HP Envy
by Matt Morgan 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

I just bought an HP Envy and installed F25 over the weekend. I have a few problems I did not have on the Dell XPS 13 it replaced. First, upon resuming from sleep, my external monitor doesn't wake up. The monitor says it's getting no input from the PC, and the Displays settings app doesn't show a second monitor. The only differences from before are a) the XPS 13 had a mini-displayport, and this one is HDMI b) this is a fresh install of F25, where the old computer was upgraded probably from F22. What can I do, any suggestions? Right now only rebooting seems to work. Thanks, Matt

F25: Desktop PC not booting without a screen
by Eigeldinger Simon 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Hi all, I am Simon and I am blind. I tried to boot a Fedora Workstation 25 live USB without a screen attached to a desktop machine. It seems the machine doesn't boot completely at least hanging while the desktop should come up. On the arch wiki i read something about x server and its autoconfig mode where it detects the screen and if no screen is present it stops starting the desktop which makes the PC hang. According to the wayland mailing list this also happens with wayland though wayland supports screenless booting. which needs to be specified in the wayland adapter for gnome. Anyone maybe knows more about that? I thought of using Fedora on a project i have in my mind. Having a small PC without a screen in the kitchen would be pretty interesting. navigation is done using a keyboard and knowing where we are is done using the orca screen reader and speakers. Attaching a screen would be the last thing i want to do.

Weird crashes and slowdowns
by Susi Lehtola 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed weird things happening on their Intel laptops. My Lenovo U31-70 has been misbehaving for a long long time under Fedora. Firefox and/or X often slow to a crawl, and sometimes X even crashes. I'm wondering if this is due to a buggy video driver. Some relevant info $ uname -r 4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64 $ uptime 12:11:54 up 6 days, 22:55, 1 user, load average: 1.11, 0.98, 0.87 $ ps aux|grep Xorg 1241 root 20 0 10.160g 4.014g 159388 S 1.1 52.1 648:10.37 Xorg $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP USB xHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP MEI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev e3) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev e3) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev e3) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP USB EHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP LPC Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP SATA Controller [AHCI Mode] (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP SMBus Controller (rev 03) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

arrow in the file/explorer window
by bruce 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Hey guys... Just noticed, in looking through the dialog for some dirs, I see a curved arrow in some of the folder icons. This appears to indicate previous versions of things like jre/jdk. Is this correct? Can't seem to find anything in SO on this.. Thanks

F25 - outragous memory consumption
by Fulko Hew 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Running F25 I'm seeing (IMHO) some outrageous memory consumption Here's what top showed (just before the system hung up completely). ksmserver taking 13Gig of memory ! pulseaudio taking almost 4Gig ! Wow. No wonder my system hung. Comments anyone?

f25 and ATI graphic cards
by François Patte 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Bonjour, Does anyone know how to get rid of this: [drm:atom_op_jump [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck ...... [drm:atom_execute_table_locked [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck.... and some other messages Sometimes it takes ages before shutdown I could see that many people have this problem since several years (not only with fedora: debian, ubuntu.... also) Is there a kernel option to add at boot time? 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
