AMD Ryzen 7 freeze on YouTube
by Lukas Zapletal 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Hey, I encountered weird Ryzen 7 freeze when playing youtube video, it kinda stuck in a few seconds loop, the computer was unusable and had to hard reset. While I will be trying to pull out something useful from logs next time (I don't have persistent journal set), anyone experienced the same? This is up-to-date Fedora 25, I was using Google Chrome stable. Is this something to do with Ryzen bug FMA3? How do I check? I do have latest BIOS update, but unsure how to check this bug. Is there a test? I also have older GeForce card, using open source drivers. Thanks for any hints which direction I should dig. Thanks.

post-mortem: f24 boot fails; need help.
by William 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Good morning, The "f24 boot fails; need help" problem set me back a week. I'm still catching up. I seriously believe it would be foolish for me to just forget it. I should for the benefit of others try to get at the real cause and possible prevention. A few hours before the failure, I received and looked at an e-mail that I'm almost certain was at least a spoof, and possibly malicious. I know it contained html and links. I did *** not *** click any of the links. I looked at it, and deleted it. It was viewed in Thunderbird only. The message's "From" ended with "yahoo.com". My question: It is highly improbable that that message had anything to do with the boot failure. Am I correct? Also a few hours before the failure, I did some web browsing using Firefox with NoScript and uBlock Origin. As best as I recall, the "riskiest" sites that I visited were finance.yahoo.com (and a few of its sub-pages, I clicked no ads, no ad links) and indeed.com (possibly and a posting or two). My question: It is highly improbable that my web browsing had anything to do with the boot failure. Am I correct? thanks, Bill.

Control audio output between Line Out and Headphones
by Daniel Krebs 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi, I'm struggling to configure the audio output of my Fedora 25 installation. I'd like to find a way to easily switch between front audio (headphones) and line out in Gnome Shell without physically plugging/unplugging any jacks. So to clarify my setup is as followed (on ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS Mainboard with Realtek ALC887 Audio Codec): * Headphones connected to the front headphone jack of my case via internal mainboard header * Amplifier connected to green jack on the mainboards backpanel When both, amp and headphones, are connected, the sound is only played via headphones. In the Gnome audio settings the the line out output device disappears and there is only the headphones output device. Then I used alsamixer so change "Auto-Mute Mode" from [Enabled] to [Disabled]. This way sound is played via amp and headphones simultaneously. Gnome audio settings still shows only the headphones as output device. I can than change Volume of "Headphones" and "Front" via alsamixer separately to get any mute/unmute combination I want but obviously this is neither comfortable nor compatible with any gnome extensions that would let me change output easily (like https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/906/sound-output-device-chooser/) I generated more Information with the alsa-info.sh script which can be found here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9c9fd41a57760353f5989f85ae5b8e9185d1c2f6 Any Ideas? Thanks DK

Fedora Kernel 4.11.x problem
by Cristian Sava 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

I tried to upgrade my F25 to kernel-4.11.x and I can't boot with it. I have two independent F25 installs, one on ssd and one on sda - boot switched from bios menu. Both failed to boot 4.11.x Immediately after selecting 4.11.x my system freezes without any message (tried without rhgb, etc. with no luck) The older 4.10.17 and 4.9.14 are ok. So not a grub problem. My box: Asrock Z77 Pro4 (legacy bios setting) I3-2120 16GB RAM Radeon 7700 Intel 535 ssd Seagate and WD disks C.S.

IP address or DNS name (bug or feature)
by Walter H. 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello, as this is the first time I'm using Fedora, I noticed the following ... (a) when open a SSH connection, it tells e.g. Last login: Mon Jun 5 20:14:37 2017 from 192.168.1.1 all other Linux VMs and/or the Router box show there Last login: Sat Jun 3 21:41:45 2017 from winpc.local (b) when configuring Firefox using a proxy, this works only when entering a IP address; when entering a DNS name a 'Proxy server not found' error is the result ... (c) when configuring a line printer I had to enter e.g. this lpd://192.168.1.11/CP1515N when entering a DNS name e.g. printer.local then this result in a 'printer.local' could not be found; a nslookup shows the correct IP addresses this means the DNS server is working properly ... Thanks for explanations, Walter

The SMS data is in a protected directory on Android phones. I believe the call logs are as well. Unless your phone is rooted, you won't have access to them. There are utilities out there in Android-land that will let you back up SMS data and call logs, or you can root your device. >From what I can remember, the SMS data is in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db on the phone. Unless you're rooted, /data reports as an empty directory. Android is essentially saying "Nah, it isn't empty, but you ain't root so you can't see what's here. So there! Nyah! Thhpt!" <insert emoji with a thumbed nose here> There are times I absolutely hate Android. It's my phone. I should be able to do what I want with it. Why the hell can't I move stuff to and from my SD card as I see fit? Truly annoying.

Update to libdb-5.3.28-21.fc25 in F25 will break the rpm database. Repairable by rebuilding rpm database with rpm --rebuilddb
by stan 10 Jun '17

10 Jun '17

There is an update (or test update) of libdb for F25 that, when installed, breaks the rpm database because it is incompatible. The dnf update completes, and then hangs (at least it did on my system). The fix is to remove the old rpm databases (this might be optional), and rebuild the rpm databases. rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00? # optional? rpm --rebuilddb I did a reboot to sync everything that uses libdb (anything that uses the Berkeley db). It might be possible just to restart affected applications if that isn't an option. That worked for my mail client before I rebooted.

postgresql and firewald startup
by Jeandet Alexis 10 Jun '17

10 Jun '17

Hello, I have a server running F25 with postgresql and firewald configured. On startup postgreslq always fail to start complaining about port 5432. I did allow this port on the firewall, if I start manually postgresql after it works. So I did plot the startup sequence (systemd-analyse plot), I saw that pgsql start after dbus.service but much before the firewall. Is there something wrong with the default config of pgsql systemd unit? Or more likely, what did I miss? mess :)? boot graph: https://ao.lpp.polytechnique.fr/s/7LdFkX5tlReNeqf Best regards, Alexis

Do you have to upgrade Alpha to Beta and then to general release version software as it becomes available or is it upgraded to the latest available version as Beta or general release becomes available.
