Banshee music player fake tagging
by Tony Nelson 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

The Banshee music player banshee-2.6.2-30.fc28.x86_64 has numerous problems beyond becoming unresponsive at startup 2 out of 3 attempts. It often (I think not always) only pretends to set the id3 tags in a music file. It remembers the tags somewhere itself, but when the file is downloaded to a player, there is no tag in the file. I have verified this with id3info and id3v2. I'd file a bug, but there seems no point in filing a bug against a Gnome project in Fedora's bugzilla, and Banshee doesn't seem to be using bugzilla.gnome.org but some new thing (which might be why all the bugs seem old) and I can't be bothered to open yet another account just because Gnome runs things badly. It's not as if anyone actually care's about Banshee, or it would start up properly. If you care, make a new account and report the bugs; I'm just informing Fedora users. Don't use Banshee. I certainly won't anymore, after wasting hours on it lying about setting the tags. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>

dnf upgrade issues (F28)
by Jarmo Hurri 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Greetings. Typically any issues I have had running dnf upgrade have been solved behind the scenes pretty quickly. Now I have had two persistent issues for a while in F28 (clean install). Output of "dnf upgrade" is currently as follows: ************************************************************************************************* Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:55 ago on Mon 06 Aug 2018 19:00:05 EEST.

But I would not like to resort to them, and I also think it would be a sign of quality / favour for future users of F28 if these issues were fixed at their source. Any ideas about how I should proceed? Jarmo

Adding subnet to firewalld drop zone
by Danny Horne 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Hi all, I've been trying to add a subnet to my firewalld drop zone because queries from this subnet have been filling up my named logs and I've had enough!! Based on research these are some assumptions I've made - Adding a subnet to a zone makes it an active zone Zones with subnets take precedence over those with interfaces attached connection refused resolving '243.32.237.94.bb.barracudacentral.org/A/IN': 64.235.145.15#53 << In this example 64.235.145.15 is the source IP (am I right?) This is what I've done to try and achieve what I want - firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=drop --add-source=64.235.144.0/20 (I've researched this, subnet is correct) firewall-cmd --reload I'm still getting queries to my DNS servers from this subnet though, what have I missed? Thanks for looking

12 Aug '18

Hi all; I've done this on a new thinkpad with a 3840x2160 screen but it had no affect on the grub boot text # grub2-mkfont -s 14 -o /boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Then I did this (changed the -s font size) but still no change # grub2-mkfont -s 14 -o /boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Can someone point me to how to properly change my boot / grub font size? Thanks in advance

Dear kind folks, I took a picture of alligator/crockodile? boots that have a nice stitched drawing. I would like if any drawing/picture expert can help me get just the part of the gator/crock from the drawing? Also if the points/coordinates could be obtained to recreate the drawing on clothing like a shirt it would be awesome. I can send the image as an attachment if anyone is willing to help. Best Regards, Antonio Sent from ProtonMail, encrypted email based in Switzerland.

F28 gnome-documents spins, shows nothing
by Eric Phetteplace 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

I have a variety of online accounts - Microsoft (1), Google(2), Microsoft Exchange(3) and IMAP(1) At one point, gnome-documents was working. I saw it populating all of my OneDrive documents. I turned off the "Documents" option in my online accounts, figuring I didn't want to use gnome-documents at the moment. I turned off "Docs" for all my online accounts. When I open gnome-documents now, I expect to see the "Getting Started" document. But, all I see is a spinner in the middle of the app, and nothing else, ever. I created a fresh F28 and added the OneDrive online account and gnome-documents is working as expected. On my machine I tried uninstalling and reinstalling gnome-documents, and I rebuilt the tracker db, but still nothing. Any suggestions? Relevant logs below. This is similar to an issue reported at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-documents/issues/5 but I don't ever see in the logs which file is not found. 08:44:39 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:44:39 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0 08:44:39 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:44:39 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0 08:44:37 gnome-shell: #10 0x7ffcb1288170 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:182 (0x7fce2a5cf560 @ 15) 08:44:28 gnome-shell: #10 0x7ffcb1288170 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:182 (0x7fce2a5cf560 @ 15) 08:44:20 gnome-shell: #10 0x7ffcb1288170 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:182 (0x7fce2a5cf560 @ 15) 08:44:20 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:44:20 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.Logs' 08:44:20 gnome-clocks: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed 08:44:20 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:44:20 gnome-clocks: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed 08:44:20 gnome-shell: Invalid result meta returned from search provider seahorse.desktop 08:44:20 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.clocks' 08:44:19 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0 08:44:18 systemd: Started Tracker metadata extractor. 08:44:18 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Extract' 08:44:17 systemd: Starting Tracker metadata extractor... 08:44:17 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Extract' unit='tracker-extract.service' requested by ':1.93' (uid=1000 pid=4406 comm="/usr/bin/gjs-console /usr/bin/gnome-documents --ga") 08:43:56 gnome-shell: #10 0x7ffcb1288170 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:182 (0x7fce2a5cf560 @ 15) 08:43:56 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.OnlineMiners.Owncloud' 08:43:56 gom-gdata-miner: Setting scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE 08:43:56 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Activating service name='org.gnome.OnlineMiners.Zpj' requested by ':1.93' (uid=1000 pid=4406 comm="/usr/bin/gjs-console /usr/bin/gnome-documents --ga") 08:43:56 systemd: Started Tracker metadata extractor. 08:43:56 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Extract' 08:43:56 systemd: Starting Tracker metadata extractor... 08:43:56 dbus-daemon: [session uid=1000 pid=2228] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Extract' unit='tracker-extract.service' requested by ':1.93' (uid=1000 pid=4406 comm="/usr/bin/gjs-console /usr/bin/gnome-documents --ga") 08:43:54 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:43:54 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0 08:43:54 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:43:54 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0 08:43:54 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:43:54 gnome-documents: JS ERROR: GLib.Error g-invoke-error-quark: Could not locate gd_filename_strip_extension: (null) 08:43:54 gnome-shell: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider org.gnome.Documents.desktop: expected 5 but got 0

PCIe SATA controllers
by Alex 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hi, I've just purchased an Asus Z370-A motherboard to replace my older desktop board. It includes 6 SATA6 ports but I need a few more. Do you have any recommendations? All the regular controllers I've found are PCIe v2.0 and most are x1. Is that even fast enough for 6mbs? This one looks reasonable. Any reason to think it wouldn't work with Linux? It's also v2.0 https://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-8-port-Controller-SI-PEX40071/dp/B00ESFEI2E/ Many of the RAID controllers (like the MegaRAID) are super expensive and more than I need. https://www.amazon.com/LSI-Controller-LSI00301-9207-8i-Internal/dp/B008J49G… Anyone remember the Hardware-Compatibility-HOWTO? :-) Thanks for any ideas. Alex

by PropAAS DBA 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

I have a new Thinkpad P52s running Fedora 28, I'm seeing numerous startup, shutdown and lockup issues. It is useable but sometimes I have to boot 4 or 5 times before I can continue without a lockup. Also it almost never powers down before it locks up with a CPU hard lockup Some of the messages I have in /var/log/messages are here: messages:Aug 6 14:27:16 P52s kernel: nouveau 0000:02:00.0: DRM: Pointer to TMDS table invalid messages:Aug 6 21:22:44 P52s kernel: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [Xorg:2145] messages:Aug 6 20:56:42 P52s kernel: NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2 messages:Aug 6 21:30:11 P52s abrt-server[1960]: Oops looks like a problem in kernel module, new component xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Can someone help me debug this, oterwise the laptop and Fedora 28 running on it are amazing... Thanks in advance
