F28 suspend to RAM seems to be broken
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Using Xfce desktop. I have been having flaky suspend activity since shortly after I installed F28 and it is getting worst. I have noticed that sometimes on suspend, it right-away unsuspends then I log in, suspend again and it 'keeps'. I thought it might be because of libvirt-guests taking too long to suspend the VMs. So I disabled libvirt-guests and stopped it. I suspended and the system hung. had to hard poweroff by the power button. So I got in, applied all updates, got everything set up and suspended in preparation to heading to the airport. It locked up. Restarted and suspended with NOTHING running. Well nothing obvious! And it did the immediate restart and had to suspend again. I am now sitting in the Delta lounge, restarting everything. This is the one week that I cannot afford this behavior, as I will be suspending MANY times a day at my conference... any pointers? thanks

Although I see your point about not wanting to change the user experience, I think it would be good to make a an up-to-date version of the package available -- especially since some people haven't quite come to terms with Flatpaks. I also noticed there is a COPR available [1], but I really prefer to use only the official package repositories. Best regards! [1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/philfry/gajim/

Touchpad right/middle click?
by Christopher 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

I noticed today that F28 Gnome 3 doesn't seem to support right or middle click on my multi-touch area touchpad (standard Dell touchpad) on Wayland or Xorg. I've read that this is related to libinput, but for all the discussions I've found on various forums, I've yet to find a solution. Usually I use a mouse, so I haven't noticed before, but this is hugely inconvenient not to have right or middle click. When did this break in Fedora? I know it used to work fine. Had anybody found a reliable solution to restore full touchpad functionality?

Can't change sddm login screen
by Jonathan Ryshpan 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

I believe I have used System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Login Screen (SDDM) correctly. I * set the theme to Breeze * click on Background * click on the green image * choose a local file * click Apply The green box is replaced by a thumbnail of my chosen image. However there is on effect on the login screen and when I start over at System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Login Screen (SDDM) the image is gone and the green box has reappeared. What's (not) happening? Maybe a missing configuration directory? No easy to find error messages. Thanks - jon

Gajim
by eqie＠mailbox.org 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Dear All, according to [1], only an old version of Gajim is available in the standard repositories for F27 as well as F28. So I was wondering, why that's the case and also weather there are any plans to make a more recent version of Gajim available to the users of Fedora. Best regards!

Suspend working?
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Lost the thread on this suspend problem. Tried to find it, so I started anew.... So far the 4.17.7 kernel is working. I did a lot of suspends as I opened each new app. Then I let things run for 1/2 a day. This latest suspend did that double thing, with the system coming right out of suspend and having to unlock and then suspend. Don't remember that happening other than the first suspend after poweron (which it did). But so far things are working. I will try a suspend tomorrow and see. Normally at home the only time I suspend is friday late afternoon to have everything in the office 'off' until Saturday night. Not like at a conference where I suspend my system a dozen times per day. So I will keep a watch and see. Fun! Not :(

F28 Workstation fresh installation on HP Elitebook 8540w Laptop: internal keyboard does not work
by Stavros Cassidis 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

I just installed Fedora 28 Workstation on my HP EliteBook 8540w laptop and it seems to work fine except the fact that the Laptop's Keyboard seems to be inactive (deactivated/disabled?). External keyboard works just fine. The problem occured at the first boot (Gnome initial setup). I had to use an rxternal keyboard to finish the setup. Checked the settings. Didn't find something to lead me to a solution or an explanation. I wonder if anyone has encountered that or has any idea where to look for a solution. (the HW is OK: all other OSes, including Fedora 27 have no issue with the keyboard)

I have an SE Linux alert that won't go away
by ToddAndMargo 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hi All, I have an SE Linux alert that keeps coming back and back. # ausearch -c 'geoclue' --raw | audit2allow -M my-geoclue # semodule -X 300 -i my-geoclue.pp Gets rid of it for a day. And I know that geoclue has issues at the moment: Unable to connect to GeoClue. Unable to get location from provider. #318 https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/318#issuecomment-401908696 Redshift cannot get location: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585970 Any words of Wisdom? Many thanks, -T SELinux is preventing geoclue from getattr access on the file /proc/<pid>/cgroup. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that geoclue should be allowed getattr access on the cgroup file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'geoclue' --raw | audit2allow -M my-geoclue # semodule -X 300 -i my-geoclue.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:geoclue_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 Target Objects /proc/<pid>/cgroup [ file ] Source geoclue Source Path geoclue Port <Unknown> Host server.storall.local Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM <Unknown> Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name server.storall.local Platform Linux server.storall.local 4.17.3-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 26 14:17:07 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2018-07-20 20:51:17 PDT Last Seen 2018-07-20 20:51:17 PDT Local ID 46bfb135-51d6-49d1-b573-eb3afe5c25b8 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1532145077.24:34049): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=11543 comm="geoclue" path="/proc/10951/cgroup" dev="proc" ino=284431279 scontext=system_u:system_r:geoclue_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: geoclue,geoclue_t,unconfined_service_t,file,getattr
