Hi, My journal is full of these PackageKit messages, one of them each second and never stop. Anyone knows how to stop them?

F26+vim 8.0.983: No more gitcommit filetype in vim
by Frédéric Bron 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hi, When I run 'git commit', I have no more syntax highlighting. If I do set filetype=gitcommit, it still does not work. The file name is .../.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG. However 'git log | vim -' works with filetype=git. Frédéric

F26: cannot import libraries in LibreOffice Calc
by Frédéric Bron 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

I installed F26 and want to reinstall my LibreOffice libraries but apparently something happens that prevents them to be imported correctly. When I import unencrypted basic libraries, they get imported but the module is empty. When I import encrytped basic libraries, LibreOffice hangs after password input with CPU at 100%. I tried to just replace /.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic by the one I had with F25 but then LibreOffice does not open and remains on the splash screen. I also tried to restore SELinux status: restorecon -rv ~/.config/libreoffice but this did not change anything. This is probably normal as setenforce 0 did not improve anything. Now I do not know what else to do. Frédéric

Post long pending moderation [was Re: Your message to users@lists.fedoraproject.org awaits moderator approval]
by Jonathan Ryshpan 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

The post has been pending moderation for about 2 days now. Possibly because it has an attachment which makes it fairly long, about 150kB, or possibly some other reason. Is it normal for postings to wait this long for moderation?

Fedora 25 not booting after update
by Matt Morgan 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

The last time I signed off of Fedora 25, I opted to install updates. Now it boots to a minimal grub menu, with no listing of kernel choices. I'm sorry to say I haven't understood grub well for about 10 years. But I looked up some guides to using the menu (without success). If I type 'exit,' I am able to boot Windows, which is dual installed. But I guess Grub can't find a kernel to boot, and I suppose it can't find its own config? I tried things like boot (which said I needed to tell it a kernel to use first) linux (which I thought was a way to load a kernel, but I just get "error: command 'linux' not found") ls (which can see the partitions, but can't tell what fs they are using, for the most part). Seems like the ls is kind of the issue--with the exception of one ext2 partition (swap I guess) and one FAT (Windows), grub can't read the filesystems on the disk, so I can't tell it what kernel to boot. Can anyone provide any guidance? FYI, this is an HP Envy laptop, if that helps. Thanks, Matt

End of i686 Support
by Jeff Backus 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hello Fedora! As you may or may not be aware, there is an active discussion on the development side as to whether or not we continue to support the x86 architecture. There are a lot of exciting things happening within the Fedora community on top of the amazing and significant effort we put into making sure Fedora is stable, robust, and on the bleeding edge. And unfortunately, the contributors doing all of this work are a limited resource so we have to prioritize where we focus our attention. Since x86-based hardware isn't very common anymore, it is understandable that most of the development side of the community is ready to move on and focus on other things that directly impact them. However, some of us still have a desire to see Fedora continue to support this venerable architecture. Is x86 support still important to you? If so, then come join us! We need all of the help we can get. Not a developer? No problem! We still need people with hardware to help us evaluate software. For those interested, you can find more information on the x86 Architectures page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/x86 You can also find us on the x86 mailing list: x86(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/x86.lists.fedoraproject.org/ We're also holding an organizational meeting on IRC in #fedora-meeting-2 on September 6th at 1900 UTC. We'd love to see you there! jeff -- Jeff Backus jeff.backus(a)gmail.com http://github.com/jsbackus http://gitlab.com/jsbackus

Delta RPMs -
by Bob Goodwin 03 Sep '17

03 Sep '17

Is dnf no longer using delta rpms? I updated two computers this morning and it looks like both were 100% rpms ... Without that feature I have to be careful not to do large upgrades during "prime time" on my Viasat account as I just did on the second one. :-( Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-26/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

VMware player with Fedora 26 (kernel module not loaded)
by Robbi Nespu 03 Sep '17

03 Sep '17

Hi everyone, anyone found workaround on getting VMware player loaded without problem ? I saw people posted on VMware community board and the respond are less, so I try my luck posting here. $ uname -a Linux fedora26 4.12.8-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 17 15:30:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I already compiled the vmmon and vmnet library source successfully, copy both *ko file to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/misc, ran depmod -a command and reboot. VMware still asking to locate and check GCC, a working workaround is to run with "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer " command but when I loaded *vmdk into VMware then I getting "Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon’ is loaded”" Tried both latest VMplayer 7 and 12. I still gettting the same error. I only have 2 kernel installed right now $ rpm -q kernel kernel-4.11.8-300.fc26.x86_64 kernel-4.12.8-300.fc26.x86_64 Tried with older kernel and still face the same error -- Best Regards, RN
