So I decided to look into tracer.

When I did my system build I did a 'dnf list > dnf.lst' to get a listing of all rpms in the repos (at least at that point it time). I have found this an easy way to go look for things of interest.  So I did:

# grep tracer dnf.lst traceroute.x86_64 3:2.1.0-6.fc28                  @fedora accumulo-tracer.noarch 1.8.1-9.fc28                    fedora dnstracer.x86_64 1.9-19.fc28                     fedora golang-github-rubyist-tracerx-devel.noarch paris-traceroute.x86_64 0.92-13.fc28                    fedora python2-dnf-plugin-tracer.noarch 2.0.5-3.fc28                    fedora python2-tracer.noarch 0.7.0-1.fc28                    updates python3-dnf-plugin-tracer.noarch 2.0.5-3.fc28                    fedora python3-tracer.noarch 0.7.0-1.fc28                    updates tracer-common.noarch 0.7.0-1.fc28                    updates

There is a python2 and 3 tracer.  Which one to use on F28?  What is the difference between the command line tracer and the dnf plugin?

python3-tracer is the one that will get installed if you type "dnf install tracer" on an F28 system.

Functionally, there is no difference between the command line and the plugin.  The difference is that the plugin will be run automatically after dnf transactions which make changes to the system.

After this morning's update that included a new kernel:

# tracer You should restart:   * These applications manually:       (sd-pam)       Thunar       audacity       firefox       oosplash       soffice.bin       tumblerd       virt-manager       xfce4-panel       xfce4-terminal       xfdesktop       xfwm4

Additionally to those process above, there are:   - 7 processes requiring restart of your session (i.e. Logging out & Logging in again)   - 4 processes requiring reboot

I have to finish what I have open in audacity before I reboot.  Then I will see if any of the fixes address the cdrom problem,  which I suspect not as there has not been any bug update...
