suspends shutdowns system instead of suspending
by Sudhir Khanger 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Hi, A new bug has cropped up on my system Dell Precision 5510 running Fedora 25 Plasma Desktop. Anytime I suspend my device it shutdowns and obviously I lose all my unsaved work. I have tried all the kernel currently installed on my system 4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64, 4.10.9, and 4.10.8. I have also tried downgrading systemd to systemd-231-10.fc25.x86_64. I continue to have the problem. sysinfo - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/9nY1-YH4IKXt4wJhyIbMGV5M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… dmesg - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/WK2NAqy3PRxrR6Fze2baIl5M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… What I can do to troubleshoot the problem?

F26 update: gnome-terminal doesn't launch; locale issues
by Mike Zingale 07 May '18

07 May '18

I just did an update from F25 to F26 via dnf. After it boots, I can no longer start gnome terminal (nothing shows). If I ssh into the machine and try it remotely, I see the following: $ gnome-terminal (process:3586): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached So it looks like there is a locale issue in my update. Does anyone know how to fix this?

how to correctly log without journald (and its blobs)?
by Franta Hanzlík 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

In previous Fedora distros was (IMHO) right way to log only to syslog, without journald and its (for me) unwanted annoying binary logs, by using configuration as: *) Set systemd log target to syslog: systemd.log_target=syslog (syslog-or-kmsg) ---- on kernel cmdline systemd.default_standard_output=syslog --/ and LogTarget=syslog ---- in systemd.conf DefaultStandardOutput=syslog --/ *) configuring rsyslog to listen on /dev/log unix socket: $SystemLogSocketName /dev/log ------ in rsyslog.conf $ModLoad imuxsock ----/ $OmitLocalLogging off ---/ $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/syslog --/(legacy directives) $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/socket -/ $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/stdout / (not sure when all last three directives needed) *) prevent to run journald: systemctl mask systemd-journald.service (and maybe mask systemd-journal-flush.service) And it works fine. But in actual Fedora 24 in systemd man page values syslog-or-kmsg and syslog are missing in LogTarget option. As systemd/journald man pages say hardly anything about exact mean of appropriate configuration for this purpose, then please when someone more knowledgeable can advise: - where to direct the systemd output? Maybe to kmsg an then read it in rsyslog via imklog? (rsyslog should have also imkmsg module, but is not in rsyslog-8.12.0-3.fc24) - what about /run/log/journal/.../system.journal ? On my test F24 system it have open rsyslogd, abrt-dump-journal-oops and abrt-dump-journal-xorg (no need for these last two) processes. Uses it also something else? - what about /run/systemd/journal/{dev-log,socket,stdout} unix sockets? Should rsyslogd listen on them? - /dev/log seems be now symlink to /run/systemd/journal/dev-log socket (as defined by systemd-journald-dev-log.socket) Should it be left (because now something sends to /run/systemd/journal/dev-log), or can be /run/systemd/journal/dev-log removed? Thanks in advance for some clarification about this. Franta Hanzlik

how to (re-?)construct grub menu?
by William 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Good afternoon, I found out the rather hard way what caused those boot failure problems that were the subject of a threat starting last month. After my weekly "dnf upgrade" last Thursday, I checked my root e-mail, and found the hard drive had 8 bad sectors, then 16 bad sectors. A smartctl short test showed several parameters "pre-fail", and the others "old-age". I obtained a new drive. My Cray Research friend gave me a USB stick with "Clonezilla-Live-Version" on it. That duplicated the old hard drive onto the new one, but apparently not 100%. After the old drive was removed and the new drive installed, I could not boot. The system was being put into a grub shell(?). (It displayed the "grub> " prompt.) After beating out heads against the wall (or the phone), my Cray research friend gave me another USB stick with "Boot-Repair-Disk" on it. That rebuilt a grub file, but not correctly. But at least I got a grub menu when booting, and I was able to edit the shell that the grub menu entry would run. I had to take the "efi" off the commands "linuxefi" and "initrdefi". That allows me to boot up Fedora. But the menu is missing an entry for windows, and I still have to edit that script every time. I want the grub menu to offer the three most recent patches of Fedora, the most recent Fedora rescue shell, and windows-7, in that order. (This is a dual-boot system.) And I want the shells launched by the menu entries to be correct. How do I get that accomplished - the correct Fedora-25 way? If it matters, the motherboard uses UEFI bios. Thank-you in advance. Bill.

Failure with Intel wireless on Dell XPS 17
by Go Canes 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

After a dnf update today, I was unable to bring up my normal wireless connection on a Dell XPS 17 laptop. I was able to get a connection via my cellphone, and did a "dnf downgrade iwl*-firmware NetworkManager*", and after a reboot I am back online. From info in /var/log/messages, it looks like the relevant firmware packages are iwl7260-firmware-1:25.30.13.0-76.fc25.noarch which was downgraded to iwl7260-firmware-1:25.30.13.0-68.fc25.noarch. I'm happy to open a bugzilla if there isn't one on this issue, but it seems to me I should have more info than what I posted above, and so am looking for advice/guidance from the list. Thanks in advance!

Running local SSH as background process - possible??
by bruce 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Ok guys, I know this isn't strictly "Fed" related, but the group might have suggestions. My use case, the process has a number of remote servers. I'd like to be able to run a bunch of commands on the remote servers as fast as posible. The initial thought was to loop through the different IPAddresses, and SSH into each server, to run the commands. However, this process was still "sequential" in that each SSH session needs to complete, prior to running the next server/ssh command. So, my question/need -- is to figure out how to run a ssh as a background on the local server. This approach would/should allow the process to quickly fire off commands to the remote ipaddresses/servers in a much faster/parallel manner. sortof: foreach iplist as ipaddress ssh user1@ipaddress command & (assuming that the '&' runs the local ssh in the background -- it doesn't!) Running "stuff" on the remote can occur in a "Screen" session, which would allow the ssh process to fire off the remote cmd, but it still doesn't run the local ssh as a "background" process.. Rick has mentioned/discussed the "Screen" function in past threads. Thoughts/comments....

I give up using Fedora ...
by Walter H. 01 Oct '17

01 Oct '17

F25 was running fine; after upgrade to F26 my VMware was broken, now I have a VMware running with F26, which brings this: "This host does not support "Intel EPT" hardware assisted MMU virtualization. This host does not support virtualizing real mode. The Intel "VMX Unrestricted Guest" feature is necessary to run this virtual machine on an Intel processor. Module 'CPUIDEarly' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine." and the same machine runs the latest Win10 without problems(!) this machine is an old HP wkst xw4600 with a Core2 Quad Q9300 CPU and 4 GByte RAM Greetings, Walter

Radeon(Kaveri) missing firmware and lost HW video acceleration?
by lejeczek 01 Oct '17

01 Oct '17

hi fellas I think I've lost HW video decoding acceleration on A10 PRO-7800B R7 with recent kernel/mesa. My kodi was nicely using vdpau until recently, I cannot say when exactly it happened. Now only SW decoding and high CPU usage. I think I have all needed packages installed but vaapi also seems to be gone, when I do: [entertainer@swir ~]$ vainfo libva info: VA-API version 0.40.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/r600_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_40 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 0.40 (libva ) vainfo: Driver version: mesa gallium vaapi vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc # end of output and there should be more, right?

Could you tell your AMD APU(s) is still ok and working in respect to UVD(video acceleration) in recentkernels/mesas ? many thanks, L. .
