F30 Lenovo x140e - no wifi
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

I have been using ethernet up to now. I went to enable the wifi, to see no wifi listed. It has been too long since I have had to do this troubleshooting. Can some point me to what I need to look at to find what the Fedora thinks is the wifi? thanks

Fc30 -> FC31 : Can't rename interfaces. FC30 worked.
by Sean Darcy 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Just upgraded to FC31. It's a multihomed machine used as a router. One interface "external" goes to the cable modem. The other interface "internal" goes to a switch. cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-external | grep -v \# TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEVICE=external ONBOOT=yes DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=no USERCTL=no HWADDR=50:7B:9D:0B:8A:AB NAME=external UUID=02b123a7-baea-20e2-051e-8a9ec27cc44a cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-internal | grep -v \# DEVICE=internal TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.10.11.251 PREFIX=24 DEFROUTE=no IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=no USERCTL=no UUID=ef5b0746-2604-b21f-c03e-00556aef68fc HWADDR=00:0e:c6:dc:01:aa But neither interface is found on boot: enp0s20u3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:0e:c6:dc:01:aa txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2573 bytes 172174 (168.1 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 enp1s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 50:7b:9d:0b:8a:ab txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2581 bytes 180221 (175.9 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 765 bytes 81440 (79.5 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 765 bytes 81440 (79.5 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 even though the MAC adresses match.

BUT, what's really odd. I'm booting the Fc31 kernel: kernel-5.3.11-300.fc31.x86_64 if I boot the same kernel, but FC30: kernel-5.3.11-200.fc30.x86_64 IT WORKS !! Any help appreciated. sean

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hello, I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled nautilus. I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker and its things And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes.. Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment. Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Anyone using Anydesk or could test it ?
by sixpack13 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hallo is anyone using Anydesk or could test it ? https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/linux since the F31-updates during the last week I'm unable to work with anydesk anymore. I'm using Xorg not wayland. Problem: During the start of an connection a completely blank dialog box pops up. Usually it's an dialog to allow the connection attempt on the remote box. Connection between F31 => Windows works. Connection between F31 <= Windows does not ! Connections between F31 <=> F31 do not ! It is sufficing to try a F31 connection to the *same* machine to see to empty dialog box. Does anyone know to debug this ? Against which component should I fill a bug report ? P.S. This comment may appear twice in this list, so please ignore. The first one somehow seems to be got lost ?! it was created and send from thunderbird to users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org

gnome frozen when ssfhs stall
by Patrick Dupre 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

Hello, I already complained about the following issue, and I submitted the bug to bugzilla without feedback. If I have an open gnome session which turns to sleep because of a lack of activity. Then, if a sshfs connection stalls, there is no way to relogin through the gnome-session. The only option that I have is to kill -9 -1 through a terminal tty the gnome session, but I lost all the session. Other options? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===========================================================================

Fedora 31: Chromium does not support h264 even after installing a lot of different packages
by Farhad Mohammadi Majd 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hello. Fedora 31 (AMD64) and Chromium 78, I have installed following packages on the system, but still MP4-H264 is not supported by Chromium: VLC + MPV + GNOME-MPV (celluloid) and their dependencies. gstreamer1-plugin-openh264, gstreamer1-libav, gstreamer1-plugins-ugly I have seen < https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-chromium-or-goog… > but widevine plugin is not easy accessibale, I just want a routine MP4 playback. * chromium-libs-media-freeworld * is one version behind latest version (77) and requies downgrading to Chromium 77! while 78 is latest version. There was no clear and straightforward instruction on the web.

FC31 : soft lockup on boot
by Sean Darcy 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Just updated FC30->FC31. Now I'm in a soft lockup boot loop. Since I can't boot, no logs. Just before the lockup: random: crng init done random: 7 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting then watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! It sits for a while, then reboots. Rinse and repeat. I've tried nomodeset as a kernel parameter. No joy. Any suggestions appreciated. sean

I could not find an entry in the journalctl -e output (but maybe I overlooked (too many records)). Perhaps I should look in the selinux logs, but where do I find them?

My only other suggestion would be to try a F30 live boot image.

Switching to a new root disk
by Patrick O'Callaghan 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

I have a new 2TB SSD I want to configure as root+home, with an extra partition for a Windows VM. My current setup is: /dev/sda (an older 120GB SSD) which currently has /boot and / via LVM: /dev/sda1 2048 1230847 1228800 600M EFI System /dev/sda2 1230848 3327999 2097152 1G Linux filesystem /dev/sda3 3328000 234440703 231112704 110.2G Linux LVM $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 7.7G 0 7.7G 0% /dev tmpfs 7.7G 214M 7.5G 3% /dev/shm tmpfs 7.7G 1.7M 7.7G 1% /run /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root 68G 27G 38G 41% / tmpfs 7.7G 87M 7.7G 2% /tmp /dev/sda2 976M 233M 677M 26% /boot /dev/sda1 599M 20M 580M 4% /boot/efi /dev/sdb1 1.9T 1.5T 372G 81% /home tmpfs 1.6G 96K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1000 /dev/sdb is an ext4 HDD with /home /dev/sdc is a Windows HDD I mostly use under QEMU/KVM though can also boot directly. This disk will be replaced by the new and larger SSD. My first thought was to use dd to clone the 3 partitions of the old SSD onto 3 identically-sized partitions on the new one, then add extra partitions for /home (which will shrink in size after splitting off a bunch of media files) and the Windows installation. The new SSD will then replace the old one, which will be retired. Will this work without adjusting the EFI setup or grub2? If not, what other steps are required? Clearly /etc/fstab would also need some editing but I'm comfortable with that. EFI is the kicker as I've only just started to use it and really don't know what I'm doing. poc
