Running a laptop with lid shut
by InvalidPath 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

This morning I had some time spent trying to get my Dell XPS 13 9550 to output to three displays. Using the thunderbolt/USB-C Dell 3100 dock, and HDMI cable/monitor and a DP to mini-DP/monitor. But my question is, during this fight, I attempts to run the laptop with the lid shut. Outputting to the two external displays, powered up by power button on the dock. Long story short it did not work.. but what's weird is that I raised the lid ever so slightly and could tell that it was on. Now if the system senses the lid when it shuts to suspend.. why not in this case? Could this have anything to do with the hybrid graphics? Thanks!

what is creating directories lib/hp in /var before /var is mounted?
by François Patte 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Bonjour, I have a separate /var partition. In logs I get this message: var.mount: Directory /var to mount over is not empty, mounting anyway.: 2 Time(s) I mounted my / partition on /mnt and could see that some directories lib/hp where present in /var, hp being empty... I deleted those directories but at next boot, these directories reappear. So something creates those directories before /var is mounted at boot time. What is it? And how to change this? 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

black screen
by Frédéric Bron 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi, For a few days, I've been experiencing something annoying: I use F25 with KDE (nouveau driver). Sometimes, when I leave my computer alone for some time (say 10-15 minutes), when I come back, the screen is full black. Nothing responds to keystrikes or mouse movements. The only thing that works is to log to a console windows blind with Ctrl+Alt+F2, then login as root without seeing anything (still black screen) and type reboot. This happened twice in the last 2 days. Frédéric

If you set the monitor configuration to have the two external monitors on and the laptop screen off, what happens when you push the power button on the dock? Hybrid graphics cause a lot of problems, so that could be an issue as well.

looking for a list of *useful*, git-related fedora RPM packages
by Robert P. J. Day 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

kind of a wide-open question, but i'm updating both an intro and advanced git course, and as i teach them both on fedora, i'm interested in which of the large number of *additional* git-related fedora packages people find useful on a regular basis. yes, i realize there are a *ton* of additional packages, but students are regularly asking me how to do things that aren't immediately supported in git, so i decided to throw together a short list of what they would do well to install along with the standard git/git-core stuff. ideally, i'd like pointers to packages that allow git users to do *additional* things but still in a git-friendly way, and not packages that require people to drastically rethink their workflow so that it starts to deviate from the normal way one uses git (if that makes any sense). thoughts? lines are open, i'll collect the best suggestions and add it to a wiki page. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

emacs bug
by Ranjan Maitra 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

There appears to be a pretty serious confirmed emacs bug which has been fixed in the release candidate or by rebuilding emacs 25.1 without ralloc.o. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1412195 Hopefully 25.1 can be rebuilt as per the bug report and also hoping that 25.2 will be released soon and Fedora can get it. Till then, I guess using the rawhide version is an option. Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

VNC Window Manager won't start
by Chris Kottaridis 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

I have a Fedora 25 installation that was setup originally with server installation and have since added gnome desktop package groups and others. On the console I get a standard non-graphical login prompt and from there I can type startx and get into gnome just fine. I don't want to change that. I do want to use VNC to connect in over net and run gnome. I have everything setup but when I connect into the VNC I initially got a blank screen. I can get more than a blank screen by changing my local user's xstartup script. For example if I add "gnome-terminal &" I'll have a gnome terminal up on the blank screen just fine. I can add vncconfig -iconic and that will be up as well. However there is no window manager running so I can't move these windows and while I can start other applications from the gnome-terminal I have up I don't get the graphical icons available to click on to start programs. Clearly I can not seem to get a window manager to startup. I tried the default xstartup: #!/bin/sh unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and another example called xstartup.gnome-try: #!/bin/sh [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vns/startup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $Home/.Xresources if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax -exit-with-session` echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" fi exec gnome-session Like I said if I add lines like gnome-terminal & or vnccnfig -icon & Before any of the exec lines those apps seem to be running. Just no window manager. Any pointers would be appreciated. I want to keep the console with an ASCII login and then use startx to get a GUI from the console, but I want to also be able to get a GUI via VNC Thanks Chris K

google-noto-emoji-fonts conflict?
by Tom Horsley 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

I've been getting conflicts for a couple of days on the package: google-noto-emoji-fonts noarch 20170223-1.fc24 updates 5.0 M I have no use for an emoji font, but I really wonder how you go about creating a font that has a conflict? :-). I mean a font is just a bunch of little pictures installed together in their own group of data. What could conflict with that? Just really curious.

That's a good question, but dnf isn't interested in telling anyone what the conflict is about, it just says there is one. (No doubt an error from the same helpful sorts of people who brought us "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!" :-) Use the --best parameter to get more info

Crash on kernel 4.10.9-200
by Paolo Galtieri 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

I installed updates this AM and a new kernel was installed 4.10.9-200. When I rebooted on this kernel my system never started up. It sat at the fedora logo for a long time before I finally decided to reset it. I looked at the log file and I found this: Apr 15 05:18:09 terrapin kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Apr 15 05:18:09 terrapin kernel: kernel BUG at security/selinux/avc.c:119!
