So long nouveau
by Tom Horsley 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Well I've been using my newly installed fedora 26 boot partition for all of a half day, and the nouveau driver just completely froze up the display (exactly the same thing that happened on fedora 24 with nouveau). I guess I'm off to look through the logs for any info and then install the rpmfusion nvidia binaries.

compiling dahdi-linux kernel module
by Greg Woods 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

The dahdi kernel module (used by asterisk for some Digium telephony cards, including the one I have) is not included in Fedora because it is not free software. The dahdi configuration tools are included, but not the kernel module. The software is free as in beer, it can be downloaded and built, and I have successfully done that in the past. However, the last time the kernel module compiled successfully was back at kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64 . On all newer kernels that I have tried, I get this: [root@worldsys dahdi-linux-master]# make make -C drivers/dahdi/firmware firmware-loaders make[1]: Entering directory '/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/firmware' make[1]: Leaving directory '/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/firmware' make -C /lib/modules/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi DAHDI_INCLUDE=/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/include DAHDI_MODULES_EXTRA=" " HOTPLUG_FIRMWARE=yes modules DAHDI_BUILD_ALL=m make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64' CC [M] /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c: In function ‘dahdi_ioctl_iomux’: /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c:5954:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘signal_pending’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (signal_pending(current)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target '/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o' failed make[2]: *** [/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o] Error 1 Makefile:1496: recipe for target '_module_/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi' failed make[1]: *** [_module_/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64' It looks like some warnings are being treated as errors, such as an implicit function declaration in this case. Is there a way I can turn that off just long enough to get this module built? I'm stuck running a non-updateable kernel until I can find a way around this. In my early career I used to build stuff all the time, but it has been a while since I have had to compile anything from source. Thanks, --Greg

Print crossword puzzle -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

This is a new install, updated, Fedora-26 using XFCE, however I believe the problem began with Fedora-24. I print several puzzles every day usin Firefox, puzzles presented in pdf print without any trouble, however those that require Flash stop working when the Fedora print window pops up, it looks normal but does not display/recognize my printer, the printer name is missing/blank. I am forced to use SeaMonkey to print the flash sites such as: http://puzzles.usatoday.com/ Using Firefox the line that says "Print to Printer:" simply shows "No Printer." SeaMonkey shows the printer and prints. It seems Firefox should do the same and it used to ... I've googled this extensively but never come near finding an answer. I would prefer not having to use a second browser to print puzzles. Can anyone offer an explanation, better yet a fix? *Bob* -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-26/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

I give up, no change to bring VMware Workstation running after F25->F26 upgrade ...
by Walter H. 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

tried VMware Wkst. 12.5.6, also 12.5.7 ... no change ... even the hack to get the additional virtual network interfaces, nothing helped ... maybe the next release of VMware Wkst. 12.5.8 will run ... as VMware Wkst. is essential for me, there is no way having Linux instead of Windows; the decision to try it with Fedora is the feature of inplace upgrade and keep it up-to-date ... I'll keep my old windows running as log as the hardware is working ...

Not sure which FM I need to be reading: auto media mount trouble
by John Morris 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

I have managed to hose something in my account. In Fedora 24 about 2/3 of the time when I login the only item in Computer was "File System" and inserted media (CD/USB) neither mounts or appears. The other 1/3 of the time it worked. Not good. But the clock is ticking on F24 now so I updated to Fedora 25 and it got worse. I get entries for every mount point, tmp, sys, everything plus I get desktop icons for them all too. This is on Mate if you are wondering why I have icons on the desktop. But at least it is now consistent, it happens every time. Made a fresh account and logged into it and everything works normally. Tried a couple of times and it appears reliable. So whatever is wrong it is just in my account but I can't figure out what got corrupted. Google is little help, all the automagic plumbing has been rewritten so many times most hits are to pages discussing obviously wrong things. While logged out I have tried removing .gvfs, anything suspicious in ~/.config ~/.local, like gvfs-metadata, systemd/user, .ccache, .dbus, Even looked in /var/tmp for leftover cruft. So what file does control the current automagic stuff? Upside is I have finally seen accelerated 3d/video decode in a VM without a Kaboom so as usual, upgrading brings new shiny.

ddns stopped working after F26 update
by Barry Scott 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

I have a dhcod/bind combination working very nicely registering host name from DHCP into DNS. But after the update to F26 ddns stopped working. I see no error messages but did notice that my named update log file no logger sees any messages logged into it. Is this a known problem? Or do I need to investigate more? Barry

Virtual Machine Manager -
by Bob Goodwin 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

This computer runs Fedora 25 on /dev/sdb and Fedora 26 on /dev/sda. I use the boot menu to select the drive and system I want, it defaults to Fedora 26. VM on Fedora 25 has Windows 10 running on it. How do I move that to virt-manager on the Fedora 26 system? Or is it simpler to make a new installation?

KDE Discover (Software Center) Crashes
by Jonathan Ryshpan 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Whenever I exit plasma-discover, which shows in the KDE start menu as the "Software Center", my system reports a crash. There don't seem to be any harmful effects, apart from the message itself. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know what is the reason for the crash or how to prevent it? Thanks - jon
