fedora 32 live DVD crashes
by Michael Hennebry 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

I've trying to run Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso on my HP Compac dc5800 Small Form Factor. It kernel panics with the message that it attempted to kill init or that it attempted to kill the idle task. In the former case, it gives exit code 0x00000009. For several months, I've been running Centos 7 with no difficulty in booting, except for needing acpi=off . I've needed that on every computer I've ever owned. I know roughly what it means, but have no idea why it would matter. The live DVD, including Troubleshoot, crashes with or without acpi=off . How do I boot? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Noticed in change in action after upgrade from 30 to 31.
by Michael D. Setzer II 01 Jun '20

Just upgraded a machine and noticed that with version 30, when I had a process running in a terminal window, when it completed it would report that the command finished, and would provide the scripts name. After the upgrade, the messages now just show bash completed rather than the specific command? Just cosmetic, but wondering why it changed, and if there are any options. Sometimes have a number of things running, and would be nice to know which exact one finished. Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Re: Restart F32 WiFi on ThinkPad P72

Bringing this back to the list. The message I'm replying to was too large for the list, so he sent it directly to me. On 5/30/20 6:49 PM, Robert G (Doc) Savage wrote: > The "systemctl -b" output is 4099 lines long, so rummaging around for > KILL is a tall order. Allow me to suggest a slightly different approach. It's actually quite easy. If you run "systemctl -b" just like that, it pipes the output to "less" for you to use. In there, you can press the "/" key and enter the text you want to search for. You can type "1G" to go to the top and "G" to go to the bottom. See the man page for details. > Here's the output of "journalctl -b -u NetworkManager".

Normally you can have both ethernet and wifi connected at the same time. But for some reason, your laptop has a physical wifi disable when the ethernet cable is plugged in. > In the old days one would expect this will make it possible to use "ifup > ATTxxxxxxx" to bring up the WiFi interface.

It's the connection that you saw is managed, not the device. What do "nmcli d" and "nmcli d show wlan0" give? > Incidentally, regarding your questions about Windows operation.

I've never seen that before, it's really weird.
