Strange Artifacts on the Panel
by Jonathan Ryshpan 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

I've been seeing strange things on my panel for about a week or two. They are triangles or lines extending horizontally from a region of some color, narrowing to a point. They last generally for up to about 30 seconds. Attached is a picture of such an artifact (PanelArtifact.jpg), taken with my cell phone. Note the black stripe just above "System Information". Has anyone seen anything like this System: Fedora-32 all updates installed Processor: 4 x Intel i5 4460 CPU at 3.2 GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB RAM Video System: Xorg (not Wayland) Graphics: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 4600 KDE Plasma: 5.20.5 KDE Framework: 5.78.0

Plasma on Xorg Fails to Start After Last System Update
by Stephen Morris 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hi, Three days ago I did a dnf system upgrade to apply all available Fedora updates. I have now tried to start Plasma under Xorg, but it now refuses to start with a crash in ksplashqml, and if I press ctrl-alt-delete to try to logout the ksmserver-greeter also crashes. Plasma under Wayland runs quite happily albeit without resolution scaling. Gnome under Wayland runs fine without scaling and Gnome under Xorg also runs fine. How do I determine why the apps are failing with Plasma under Xorg now? regards, Steve

Windows 10 + F33 + SSD + RAID
by Paolo Galtieri 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Folks, I have a new dell laptop. I tried to install Fedora 33 on it, but it failed to find any disks. I searched the internet and discovered that if my BIOS has RAID enabled F33 is unable to find any drives. I disabled RAID and enable AHCI and was then able to install and boot F33. I then tried to boot Windows 10. This failed until I entered the bitlock key. I then went back into the BIOS and re-enabled RAID and verified Windows 10 boots without error, but Fedora 33 no longer does since it can't find any drives. What if I want RAID enabled? Is there a solution to this problem? Paolo

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?
