I can connect from my Fedora laptop to my 2 Rasperry's with no issues, they can connect each other with vinagre and vnc, but I cannot connect from either Raspberry to my Fedora laptop with vinagre, as soon as I give permission to connect, connection is closed. Any idea??? no difference if firewall is active or disactivated -- Antonio Montagnani Linux Fedora 32 (Workstation) Fujitsu

Figuring out reason behind java crash on F32 (not on Muck/Windoze)
by Ranjan Maitra 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Dear friends, I have a strange situation that shows up only on F32 (only linux distributions tried) but does not show up on Windoze or Muck. The way to illustrate this is rather complicated, so I will first summarize. For my introductory students, I use a java-based front-end to R called Deducer. I am able to install without a hitch and even bring it up and run some functions and graphical displays. However, when I ask it to do a few specific functions, the windows all come crashing down. So, my question is: how do I figure out the source of the problem? I have used this program for years, and including last spring under F31, and linux has never been an issue. This has been tried on three F32 machines by me and a former student and all have resulted in crashes. Embarrasingly, these continue to work as expected with Windows and MacOS, though installation, especially for the latter is a pain. How can I get error messages out of this mishap to file a meaningful and targeted bug report? Any suggestions? Ranjan If you are interested, here is how I go about installing Deducer. I need R-core installed, as well as curl-devel, and of course java. Other fedora packages may also be needed. sudo dnf install R-devel curl-devel java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel then: sudo R install.packages(c('JGR','Deducer')) q() Note that the second line will ask for which repo to use, and any are fine, the first one is from rstudio.com. Also, the installation function may ask for more libraries to be installed. Once installed, go to R and inside R, type: library(JGR) library(Deducer) JGR() The last function call will open a graphical interface with a jaguar logo (pretty cool). All is well. In the bottom window type: data(cars) Then go to the graphical interface above, and under "Plots" -> "Quick" -> "simple boxplot" This opens a window, and put speed as x variable and run. A window begins to open and the entire window system running JGR comes crashing down. Btw, since I know the commands to give in R, on the commandline, when I call the function, things work as expected. It is only on the JGR() window that it crashes. The worst part? I get no error messages. So, how can I get error messages out of this mishap to file a meaningful and targeted bug report? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress'
by Neal Becker 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

I guess I had tried to add lz4_compress to kernel install, but must have done something wrong. Now with every kernel update I get: Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64 127/127 dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress' dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/dracut.mSA6DG/initramfs --kerneldir /lib/modules/5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64/ -m lz4 lz4_compress I previously created /etc/dracut.d/lz4.conf: add_drivers+=" lz4 lz4_compress " What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Neal -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

keyboard response time
by Patrick Dupre 08 Sep '20

Hello, I guess that there is a way to adjust the response time of the keyboard when dialing. It has dramatically increased after I tuned off the PC in suspend mode.

no keyboard
by Patrick Dupre 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Hello, A strange bahavior. This after, my laptop was working correctly. I turned it on suspend mode, and when I recover (normayy) , I did not have any keyboard responding. I turned off the computer, and restarted it. The behavior every times: I can login (in graphics mode) by dialing my password, and then again, the keyboard is not active anymore. The only thing that I can do, is to logout, and there, the keyboard comes back active again. I can log in with a tty terminal, and run startx. It fails, but I get: xauth: file /home/pdupre/.serverauth.7289 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.20.8 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: 5.5.10-200.fc31.x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux Sappho 5.8.4-200.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 26 22:28:08 UTC 2020 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos6)/vmlinuz-5.8.4-200.fc32.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/VolSys1-root ro rd.lvm.lv=VolSys1/root nouveau.modeset=0 Build Date: 30 March 2020 12:00:00AM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.20.8-1.fc32 Current version of pixman: 0.40.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Firefox unable to play online videos
by Frank McCormick 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

I am running Fedora 32 up to date. It is a relatively new install and I noticed a few days ago Firefox is unable to play any online videos, including those on CNN.COM and Foxnews.com as well as other sites. I get various errors including error #4 from CNN. On foxnews the circular loading image just continues forever. I noticed Saturday I believe Firefox was updated to 80.0.1.2 but I don't recall whether it was able to handle online video before the update. How can I debug this? Thanks

Virtual terminals - no VISIBLE I/O
by Jon LaBadie 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

On Fedora 32 Workstation. My VTs are functional but there is not visible indication of I/O. By that I mean, I get no login or password prompt. But I can blindly login. I get no shell prompt. But I can blindly enter commands that run but they show no output in the VT. The VT system is controlled by systemD. After a boot and upon graphical login this is the status: $ systemctl | grep getty system-getty.slice loaded active active system-getty.slice getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts A "ps -ef | grep getty" gives no output After I try to access VT #3 (<Ctl><Alt><Fn3>) without logging in, I get an additional line from the above command: getty(a)tty3.service loaded active running Getty on tty3 And the ps pipe gives this: root 4237 1 0 13:23 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux I didn't think the display manager would affect the VT system, but just in case I tried gdm, sddm, lightdm. No differences. Any clue as to why there seems to be no video connection to the VTs? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com
