Package update causes loss of network connection
by Richard Shaw 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

I've had this happen about 3 times now and this time I copied the output from DNF of the packages around the time network connectivity was lost. The network icon in Gnome shell changes to a question mark and I haven't found a solution (including restarting NetworkManager) that fixes it. The only solution I've found so far is rebooting. I'm going to try doing a "dnf reinstall" of the packages that have anything to do with networking and see if I can find out which package it is. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Richard

strange icon in menu
by François Patte 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Bonjour, I just upgraded my system to f28. I use xfce as window manager and in the main menu>accessories there is a HHHuge icon, an image of two drawers, which is for the file manager. Why? And how to remove it? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Building the kernel
by Frank Elsner 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hello, as announced I started to build the kernel myself. Following the documentation in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel/Source_RPM I downloaded the kernel SRPM. But when I do the step "Install kernel-<version>.src.rpm with the following command:" by executing rpm -Uvh ~/Downloads/kernel-4.17.9-200.fc28.src.rpm I can't proceed to the next step Change to the kernel source tree directory: cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-$ver.$fedver/linux-$ver.$subver.$fedver.$arch/ because ~/rpmbuild/BUILD is empty but ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES has *.config files and patches. Why is ~/rpmbuild/BUILD empty? Documention in error or what is my error? Cheers, Frank

NFS not mounted at boot -
by Bob Goodwin 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

I have two computers, Fedora 27 and 28 that do not mount the nfs server at boot. It works from root afterward without any difficulty but that is a bit of an inconvenience. I put up with that problem with the Samba server for a long time but two is too much! This problem was unknown until I built this nfs box which pretty much says I've done something wrong but I have no idea what ... /etc/exports is: [bobg@ASRock-J3455M ~]$ cat /etc/exports /home/exports 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) The client /etc/fstab is: 192.168.1.86:/home/exports /mnt/testb nfs4 defaults 0 0 Any suggestions appreciated, -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

F27->F28 no new kernel
by Frank Elsner 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hello, I've just upgraded my TP X230i from F27 to F28 painless. But I'm still on my last F27 kernel-4.16.16-200.fc27.i686+PAE. No newer kernel installed. During ame upgrade procedure on my TP x121e kernel was updated to kernel-4.17.7-100.fc27.i686+PAE. Both systems are 32bit. What could prevent update to a newer kernel? Cheers, Frank

Gnome boxes and USB redirection
by Jeffrey Ross 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

System is Fedora 28 I have Gnome boxes running with a Windows 10 "guest". I have a USB device that I need to be automatically passed to the Windows 10 OS in boxes. Because of how this device works it connects and then disconnects a few times when it is first connected while going into a programming mode, Because of this every time it disconnects the host OS grabs the device causing the device to reset as it doesn't get a response from the controlling software in time. from the messages file the device info is: kernel: usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2a4f, idProduct=0100, bcdDevice= 0.00 kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=33, Product=37, SerialNumber=0 and I will also see multiple entries: unhandled action 'bind' on /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-11/3-11:1.1 unhandled action 'unbind' on /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-11/3-11:1.0 a direction or pointers would be appreciated on how to force it to auto redirect to the Windows OS. Thanks, Jeff

Defining network Paramus using virt-install and kickstart for VM install
by JWH 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I want to create a fedora VM client on a previously installed fedora bare metal host. The network definition on the host is 192.168.1.x/24. I want the guest to also be on 192.168.1.x/24. Dnsmasq has been disabled and stopped on the host. 1) Do I need to do anything else on the host? 2) What do I use for network arguments to virtual-install? 3) What do I use for network arguments to kickstart? Older docs say I need to modify config files in /etc/sysconfig, is that really necessary? Thanks. Sent from my iPad
