Upgrade of F30 to F31 Appears to Have not Worked Correctly
by Stephen Morris 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, I have just upgraded to F31 from F30 using dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=31. Before I did the upgrade I updated F30 to the latest maintenance level. When I booted into Gnome on F31 there was no activities menu to be able to launch any application, the only way I could launch applications (if I knew the application command) was to use alt-f2. In F30 I was using dash-to-dock but in the F31 upgrade that failed to start. I did find an entry on the net saying that V66 of dash-to-dock had an issue in F31 with kde (plasma) but no reference to issues with Gnome. I was able to run Gnome-tweaks, see that it was flagging that it couldn't start dash-to-dock, the dash-to-dock settings were saying that it was V66, so I used gnome tweaks to uninstall it. I then used dnfdragora to install V67 of dash-to-dock when confirmed the V67 was installed and V66 wasn't, but when I went back into gnome-tweeks it was still saying that it was trying to start V66 of dash-to-dock. I eventually found that I had to remove all the gnome-shell extension settings in my home path, use dnf to uninstall dash-to-dock V67 and reinstall it for Gnome-tweaks to show that it was successfully able to start dash-to-dock V67. Also after doing this when I launched firefox it immediately asked me asked me if I wanted to update all my extensions from upstream except for dash-to-dock, which I did and that then activated all the extensions even though at update they weren't active. When I launch firefox V73.0a1 it displays with two windows overlapping each other displaying the same contents, forms being displayed on the screen are not displaying correctly in terms of when input is entered into text boxes the input is actually being displayed below the text boxes. Also the address bar keeps flashing on and off because the display of the web page being accessed is intermittently overlaying the address bar, consequently I can't actually select any menus displayed on the web page. Just for interest Thunderbird V73.0a1 doesn't seem to exhibit these issues. If I run the version of firefox from the repositories it exhibits the same overlay issues as well. When I run Gnome-terminal it exhibits the dual window overlay issue when maximised. If I run Gnome-terminal unmaximised it doesn't exhibit the issue, but if I manually expand the size of the gnome-terminal window it exhibits the overlay issue as soon as I type anything into the window. I tried reinstalling Gnome by re-installing the 'Gnome Desktop Environment' group from dnf but that did not make any difference. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue might be? If I run dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=30 will that downgrade me to a fully working version of F30 as it was before I did the F31 upgrade? regards, Steve

Old Wine RPMs
by ToddAndMargo 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi All, Now that Wine Staging has be gobbled up by Wine and Wine bugs are no longer being fixed unless you put Code Weavers on your payroll, I have had to downgrade my copy of Wine, due to regression errors Wine has reintroduced since we lost Wine Staging. What is the best way to figure out what all RPM's are used on my old version of Wine, so I can download them for when my version gets aged out of the repos? Many thanks, -T

The incoming throughput confirms that the Ethernet port is capable of 940 Mbits/sec. My PC and 'backup' are connected to the same managed 1GigE switch (Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8). To rule out a switch configuration issue, I ran the same iperf3 test while the devices were connected to an unmanaged switch and got the same results. The host named 'backup' tests at 940 Mbits/sec in both directions when tested against another Fedora 30 Linux PC of similar vintage so I don't think 'backup' (a Linux-based Synology NAS) is the issue. 'ethtool' shows that my PC's Ethernet auto-negotiates 1Gig mode: # ethtool enp3s0 Settings for enp3s0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) drv probe ifdown ifup Link detected: yes The Linux network interface matches up with the other Linux PC mentioned above.

Also, I recently configured the PC to go into suspend after 90 minutes and to set up a magic packet wake-on-lan before it suspends. I've tried backing off these changes followed by a cold reboot...no change in the iperf3 results. If this is a Linux kernel issue, it would have to have been introduced several kernel releases ago because if I boot into the PC's oldest kernel, 5.4.10-100.fc30.x86_64, I still suffer from the slower outgoing throughput. So, either this issue began with a Linux kernel < 5.4.10 or it's due to a configuration change I made but lost track of. Have I run into a known, or unreported, issue with the newer Linux kernels or the r8169 module in particular? If not, what might I look into next to try to pinpoint what's causing the reduction in outgoing throughput? Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dave

evolution decoding errors
by Tim 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Hi, Has anybody else noticed Evolution badly decode messages? I have several different Linux installations using different versions of Evolution, and from time to time full-stops disappear on any of them. If I look at the raw code, they *are* in the mail, but they're not being rendered, and I can't see any cause for it. When they do fail to render, that message always fails (it's consistent). e.g. I received a quote for $17000, which was really $170.00. And some weblinks fail, or images don't load, in HTML mail because a dot has gone AWOL within a link (www.example.com has become wwwexample.com). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 14 18:22:28 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.

Failed Delta RPMs observed in repo
by John Mellor 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Question for the repo managers, Why do I sometimes see invalid checksums for drpm downloads? E.g: This excerpt from the update this morning: /var/cache/dnf/updates-7fc4c739b3909d9f/packages/selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.4-46.fc31_3.14.4-47.fc31.noarch.drpm: md5 mismatch of resultSome packages were not downloaded. Retrying.selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.4-47.fc31.noarch.r 14 MB/s | 13 MB 00:00 It almost always causes the total download size to be larger than any savings from using the drpm format: Failed Delta RPMs increased 41.3 MB of updates to 43.3 MB (-4.1% wasted) Is this a repo bug?

exim-clamav

The upgrade for Clamav that just came out seems to have broken exim-clamav, more precisely removed exim-clamav.

Apologize in advance for this non-Fedora post. Not even Google seems to know the answer. For years pricewatch.com has been my preferred comparison shopping web site for all softs of IT harware. Then some time in December 2019 it seems to have gone off the air. # nslookup pricewatch.com Server: 192.168.1.254 Address: 192.168.1.254#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: pricewatch.com Address: 54.81.122.187 I can no longer traceroute to this IP address, and Firefox times out. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
