Radeon 5700 XT: Wayland/X11 not using amdgpu
by Braden McDaniel 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Searching a bit, it looks like some folks are having success with the Radeon 5700 (XT) and Fedora 32. Not me. :-/ I first posted on ask.fedoraproject.org; and while I was able to drill down and get a bit more information, responses there seem to have tapered off. A few data points: > $ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' > 09:00.0 **VGA** compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 [Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT] (rev c1) > Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 0b36 > Kernel modules: amdgpu > 09:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 HDMI Audio While that checks out, for some reason amdgpu isn’t listed in the lsmod output: > $ sudo lsmod | grep amd > edac_mce_amd 32768 0 > kvm_amd 114688 0 > kvm 806912 1 kvm_amd > ccp 102400 1 kvm_amd > amd_iommu_v2 20480 0 > pinctrl_amd 32768 0 I don’t get Wayland when I log in; I get the X11 fallback. Looking at the Xorg log, it never even tries the amdgpu driver. It tries the radeon driver; and when that fails, I get the generic framebuffer fallback. Any suggestions for next steps to take? -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com>

Samba config -
by Bob Goodwin 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

L am struggling with the configuration of the new server. Presently my problem is that I attempted to create a link an made an error, I do not understand perfectly what I have read! [root@smb bobg]# ln -s /home/share /media/dd2 "# rm linkfile" is clear enough but, [root@smb bobg]# ll /media/dd2 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Jun 29 17:25 share -> /home/share Which one is the link name to be removed, what is the exact command to do that and NOT DESTROY or damage the files in /media/dd2? I could unplug the data cable on the drive while doing the removal but even then Might there be something lurking to finish the removal when restarted with the drive plugged in? I am confused and worried about doing the removal correctly, some advice appreciated. Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD FEDORA-32/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Output text color (was dnf list color bad)
by Beartooth 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Back on April 23, I started a thread on the color of dnf's output, which petered out without reaching any conclusion. I let it age. Having now gone back and re-examined the problem, I'd like to start over, and maybe do better. Part of the problem, and one of the things I failed to make clear, is that I don't use pat colors. I began, long years ago, by setting several different soft colors as backgrounds on different terminal tabs, which were supposed to be easier on the eyes. Not seeing the colors I wanted in the canned array, I invoked the GUI slider. EXAMPLE: Editing a profile named bbi, I click on the color tab, then on background. Up pops a box offering an array and also a button with a + on it. Clicking that gets me a new box, with a vertical bar and a square. The bar shows a spectrum; clicking anywhere on it colors the square, and moving a dot around in the square determines both the shade and the intensity of the background. Having done that, and accepted a background color, I click on text, and go through the same process to get a good contrast. Until F32, this process worked like a charm. I can log into any of my computers, go to any tab on the Mate terminal, and see at a glance who and where I am.(Since my domain is hosted on a remote machine, the where is not trivial.) Until F32, when I entered a command on such a terminal tab, its output came in the same color as what I had typed. Now it differs, and that is fine. But the default is unreadable against my background. Might we (pretty please!) get one more choice on the screen for choosing colors? It could be labelled "output" and work just like text, background, and (optionally) bold; or it could use the bold color by default. Am I making sense this time?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

setting up PPPoE on fedora with recent network tools
by Patrick Mansfield 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Hi - Anyone know where to find details setting up and using a PPPoE client on fedora with current network tools? I used nm-connection-editor to add one, but haven't figured out how to actually bring it up nor if it's actually working. I installed rp-pppoe, I'm not sure if it's needed or if it's integrated with NM. -- Patrick

newbie question about appimages
by David 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

I know zero about appimages. Today, I downloaded the very latest development version of Chromium as an appimage, and tried unsuccessfully to run it. Is that feasible ? My understanding is that if the app is marked executable, then you just click on run in the properties. David Locklear

Cinnamon 4.6 makes my display flickering
by Marco Guazzone 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Hi, I have just upgraded Cinnamon to the new 4.6 version with dnf and then rebooted the system. When I log in, Cinnamon makes my screen flickering, with half screen blue and the other half screen showing (a half of) my background image. Just for testing, I created a new user to start Cinnamon with a fresh new configuration. Same problems experienced If I use Gnome shell (Classic), then I log out, and then I use Cinnamon the problem disappears, apparently. Any idea? Thanks for your help. Marco
