F25 + Killer 1535 @ 1mb/s
by InvalidPath 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Fellas, I noticed today, while finally getting to use the Fedora side of my work laptop, that my wifi is running at 1MB/s on d Dell XPS 13 9550. According to Dell this model has the Killer AC 1535 wireless chipset so possibly just a driver issue? ➜ .ssh iwconfig wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"waffle_house" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: C0:56:27:C4:77:BC Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=58/70 Signal level=-52 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:285 Invalid misc:1819 Missed beacon:0 lo no wireless extensions. virbr0-nic no wireless extensions. macvtap0 no wireless extensions. virbr0 no wireless extensions. vnet0 no wireless extensions. 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32) Attached is wireless-info.txt, generated from: wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && ./wireless-info Found via: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=217258 (Yes I know Mint.. the results for later version of Fedora were severely lacking) Whats odd is that I Put F25 on the wifes Lenovo just Sunday night to resolve this exact issue. Thanks!

some log error messages
by François Patte 05 Apr '17

What is the meaning of these error/warning messages (f25) and how to correct the config to get rid of them: -- LVM Daemon lvmetad returned error 104: 1 Time(s) WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.: 2 Time(s) WARNING: lvmetad is being updated, retrying (setup) for 10 more seconds.: 1 Time(s) -- systemd Failed unmounting /var.: 1 Time(s) Requested transaction contradicts existing jobs: Transaction is destructive.: 1 Time(s) lvm2-lvmetad.socket: Failed to queue service startup job (Maybe the service file is missing or not a non-template unit?): Transaction is destructive.: 1 Time(s) lvm2-lvmetad.socket: Unit entered failed state.: 1 Time(s) What does mean "Transaction is destructive"?

DHCP and resolv.conf
by Tethys 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

I have a resolv.conf that says: ; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script That's fine. But I need to add a custom domain to my search path that isn't supplied by the DHCP server. According to the documentation, adding the following to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf should be enought to do this: interface "p4p1" { append domain-name "mydomain.example.com."; } However, it doesn't work, and the generated resolv.conf doesn't contain the domain I want. I can add a SEARCH entry to /etc/sysconfig/networking, but that overrides the server supplied search path, rather than appends to it. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to achieve what I want? Tet -- I saw cout being shifted "Hello world" times to the left and stopped right there. — Steve Gonedes

Cockpit and firewalld

Can cockpit manage firewalld rules? I did not see anyway to do it on a recent server setup.

F24 not recognizing USB drives
by Robert Moskowitz 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Bunch of suspend/resumes since the last boot. Back home and went to put in a USB drive, and nothing. No /dev/sdb listed. Nothing showing on the desktop as a mountable drive. How would I trouble shoot this? Really don't want to reboot. thanks

How to view empathy IRC windows?
by Richard Allen Megginson 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

When I run empathy in F25, all I see is the Contact List which is basically only my AIM contacts. I have used empathy-accounts to add my IRC servers. How do I get empathy to show my IRC servers and allow me to join channels?

QEMU/KVM/Windows and Samba+NFS
by Patrick O'Callaghan 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

I have: - An NAS (Iomega) which supports both NFS and CIFS. Call it N. - A Fedora 25 desktop running Samba. Call it D. - A Windows 10 VM (QEMU/KVM) running on D. Call it W. I want to use N as a backup server for W, however W cannot see shares on N. It complains about permissions. N runs a pretty old version of Debian and is not really updateable, nor is it well documented. Perhaps a Windows expert would find this trivial but I'm no expert in Windows networking. Note that D has no trouble accessing shares on N via Samba. However as D is also running a Samba service, which W can access, I tried a workaround by having D mount a folder from N via NFS and sharing it to W via Samba. This is clunky but works *as long as SElinux is in Permissive mode*. Otherwise it complains of permissions. Note that running smbclient on D does see the same share (i.e. the NFS-mounted folder) with no issues, but of course that's running as me. What SE context should I apply to the NFS mount to allow me to keep SElinux in Enforcing mode but still allow this passthrough to work? poc

Does Wayland allow windows to set their own position?
by Andre Robatino 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

The following command gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+0-0 says to open an 80x24 window in the lower left corner. When using "GNOME on Xorg" the position is set as expected. In Wayland the window comes up in the middle of the screen. (This is for F25.) Does Wayland not allow windows to set their own position? Or is this a gnome-terminal bug?
