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?

Fonts in F27
by Gordon Messmer 11 May '18

11 May '18

After upgrading to F27, I noticed that fonts looked "off". I made a screenshot of Thunderbird and gnome-terminal displaying roughly identical contents on Fedora 25, 26, and 27. The older two releases are identical, but F27's fonts (both fixed-width and variable-width) appear to be the same width as they were previously, but taller. Characters like monospace 'o' used to be round and are now oblong. Everything seems slightly heavier as a result of the additional pixels. Does anyone know if this change was intentional? Personally, I think it's worse than before.

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

cups sucks!!!
by François Patte 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

Bonjour. I try to configure a printer on my local network but all attemps fail. I have a printer attached to one computer on an usb port and I want to use it with other computers on my local network. I opened firefox on one computer and miracle: the printer attached to the other computer is discovered and cups admin interface asks me if I want to add this printer. Nice: the job is easy!! *But* this does not work at all!! Sending a test page returns that the printer is not responding. I tried to cofigure the printer using the "Add printer" way and chose ipp. According to the given syntax, I wrote: ipp://name-of-server/ipp but this does not work: sending a test page returns that the printer is misconfigured or no longer exists... I replaced the name of the server by its IP address... same result. I tried: ipp://name-of-server:631/printers/name-of-printer-on-server. It does not work, the message is now: Filter failed. What fiter? I don't know as cups logs no longer exist since systemd... Does somebody know a solution?

How to install the new Video Download Helper Companion App and have Firefox recognize it
by Temlakos 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Everyone: Firefox crippled most of its extensions beginning with Version 57. (Why they borrowed technology from Google, I'll never know.) The developers of the Video Download Helper responded by creating a Companion Application. I have tried installing that application dozens of times. But /Firefox refuses to recognize it/. And without that recognition, VDH will not download most videos from YouTube. (Was that the idea?) Has anyone gotten that companion app to work? If so, how may I do it? Temlakos

Fedora 26 & 27 are unable to boot with normal graphic mode on this PC with AMD/ATI RS740 [Radeon 2100] GPU
by Farhad Mohammadi Majd 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

Hello, I have an old PC from 2008 which has integrated graphics processors (IGP), I did install Fedora 26 few months ago and it had mentioned problem, I used "nomodeset" kernel parameter for boot during installation and local boot, but I didn't report the problem. Today I did install Fedora 27 (Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27-1.6) and same problem was exist, fortunately Fedora 27 is smarter and it added "nomodeset" kernel parameter to the GRUB configuration file for local boot, so there is no need to enter it manually to GRUB. <CODE> $ lspci | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS740 [Radeon 2100] <CODE> Please guide me step-by-step to solve this problem, thank you.

Hi, try to burn a 1.2GB mp4 film onto a DVD or as iso to a foulder. Result only about 200MB a burned (readable) to the DVD and the source file of 1.2GB is cut also to about 200MB (same size as shown on DVD), the size of the burned 1.2GB film varied in 2 trials from about 80MB to about 200MB. To check wether it's my system or not, I made a new installation of F27, same error. F26 does not show this error ( brasero-3.12.1-5.fc26 ) - brasero-3.12.2-2.fc27 - Name : kernel Version : 4.15.4 Release : 300.fc27 Arch : x86_64 First Time I see this in Brasero Kind regards

by bruce 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hi. Testing the cssh process. I configured the /etc/clusters file to have -testcluser foo(a)1.2.3.4 As user 'foo' I run -- cssh testuser Process returns: Connection to server failed -- (version 11.0) No protocol specified at /usr/bin/cssh line 2152 As a test, logged in as root ran the same thing.. a term displayed. So, I've got something misconfigured on the local to run the gui process. In the /etc/ssh/ssh_config I tested with both ForwardX11 yes/no <<<< with no difference Looking through the 'net I se a number of possible issues, but as I currently work through them, no change. Thoughts/comments?? Thanks

RE: digitally signing a PDF file in Fedora
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl 02 Mar '18

You can use Libreoffice for digitally signing PDF's (Not only the pdf created by L.O., but also existing PDF's) -----Original Message----- From: Ranjan Maitra [mailto:maitra@email.com] Sent: maandag 26 februari 2018 21:03 To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: OT: digitally signing a PDF file in Fedora Hi, Is there a way to digitally sign a pdf file in Fedora. I have noticed that my colleagues on Windoze and Mucks all append their signatures using "Digitally Signed by...and time" presumaby using Acrobat, but is there a way to do this with something in Fedora? Of course, I prefer an OSS tool. Best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.
