kernel: Failed to load gpu_info firmware
by Suvayu Ali 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hello, I have a strange issue. I am on one of AMD's Raven Ridge APUs (Ryzen 5 2400G). Everything was working fine, with the 4.18.x series kernels. However I wanted to experiment with the ROCm drivers[1] that are under development. I managed to install after some fiddling, but the firmware kept on failing to load. I had to forcefully regenerate all the initrd a few times. Not having succeeded, I decided to uninstall ROCm and go back to my original kernels. However, I still receive the same error even though I have reinstalled my kernels, installed newer kernels from the repo, and what not. Here are the messages from my journal: [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled. [drm] initializing kernel modesetting (RAVEN 0x1002:0x15DD 0x1458:0xD000 0xC6).

Wifi Connection in F28 KDE Timing out Waiting for Kwallet Password?
by Stephen Morris 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi, I am using KDE as my desktop and have my networkmanager wifi definition configured to store the wifi password encrypted, hence it is stored in Kwallet. This morning, as the kettle had boiled, after supplying my password to log into KDE I went and made myself a cup of coffee and my wife a cup of tea, which wouldn't have taken any longer than a couple of minutes, when I got back Kwallet was prompting for the Kwallet password so that the wifi password could be retrieved. Having provided the Kwallet password the wifi did not connect, I had to connect the wifi manually. Is this normal behaviour, normally when supplying the Kwallet password as soon as prompted for it connects both the firewall and wifi, and, in this case I don't know whether the firewall connected even though the wifi didn't or whether it connected when I manually connected the wifi as I didn't see the normal firewall connection message? regards, Steve

Install / as RAID 0
by Richard Shaw 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

I got some very old computers (Pentium 4) and quite frankly it's choking on the installer (40 minutes to draw a window to setup partitions), but since it's a system I don't care about I wanted to experiment with RAID since I've never done so before. To make setting up the partitions easier I used System Rescue CD which boots up and is usable within a reasonable amount of time. The systems came with 80GB drives so I move one over and setup the partition layout is as follows: /dev/sda1 /boot 4GB (too big, but I want it to match partition 1 on sdb) /dev/sda2 RAID 0 (remainder) /dev/sdb1 SWAP 4GB /dev/sdb2 RAID 0 (remainder) I setup the RAID 0 with mdadm... I still don't know exactly what I'm doing but I ended up using the LXDE spin because Gnome Live was unusable. Sometimes the installer sees /dev/md0 and sometimes it doesn't (shows 0 bytes available). The one time I got through the partitioning using bivlet it complained about /dev/sdb1 and wouldn't show OK on the main screen, but that's SWAP, why does it care? If I don't select both drives it won't let me setup /dev/md0. Yesterday I tried installing Bodhi linux, I would rather stay with Fedora or at least something RPM based but it seemed to run decently and the installer recognized /dev/md0 (after I did an apt install mdadm which auto-created /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf) and let me install to it. However... One I rebooted it dropped into busybox. I assume this is either because /etc is on root so it can't see it OR I need to recreate the initrd with the right kernel module? Not sure and I haven't been able to find good instructions for root as RAID... Probably not a good idea, but it's a trash system so I was just playing with it anyway. Ideas? Thanks, Richard

Log programs
by Mike Chambers 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

Epylog won't install on F29, think due to not being included/built for it, anyway it has a dep that I think has deprecated as well. Soo, what other programs do the same sort of thing, that are automated to work with cron like epylog does? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"

Can't play .mov video -
by Bob Goodwin-Fastmail 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

. This Fedora 28 VLC will not play the video part of a .mov file. I see the first frame as a fixed image and the sound works, I hear the music but dancers [my grand daughter's ballet class] don't move. Another clip that I know plays normally on a Fedora 27 system, but not on this F28 system, produces the following errors: [bobg@box83 ~]$ vlc /mnt/box48/2018-06-Jun-15-LUKE-SHEARING-Clippers/ VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332) [000055b0c3eb9670] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Snip, i can provide the whole listing if needed. ................... One video in the group was an mp4, it played as expected, but the others were .mov, I don't know why they were not all the same type, and I was surprised to see this problem. I use vlc from rpmfusion and it always just works for almost anything fed to it. Until tonight I've only viewed rtsp camera video on this F28 system and there are no problems with that. Any suggestions as to what I am missing? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box83 FEDORA-28/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

OT: replace a timestamp across multiple files
by Mike Wright 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

Hi all, I have a set of dns zone text files in "bind" format. On the fourth line there is a 10 digit timestamp (ignoring white space, the first field). There is no way to predetermine the value so search and replace by value is a no go and seems to require some positional approach such as "line 4, first 10 digit field". What is the easiest way to replace each of them with the same value, $(date +%s) ? My sed|awk foo is weak. Any takers? TIA, Mike Wright

Structure needs cleaning?? What would be a better way to handle?
by Michael D. Setzer II 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

I was doing a search of directories to see the sizes, and had some messages come up about Structure needs cleaning? My original solution didn't work so well. Files where in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory and the latest one was from 2016. Since it was part of the / (root) partition /dev/sda2, I just did the touch /forcefsck and figured the reboot would then have it run a check on the disk. The machine rebooted, and did the check, but failed at about 60+% and just dumped to a limited command prompt. Was able to fix the problem, by booting to my g4l kernel that loads in ram from the grub menu. Was able to run fsck -f /dev/sda2 and it reported the errors on these files in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. Reboot, and machine came up fine. Had a number of entries and the lost+found. So, question. 1. Why wouldn't the boot fsck fix the problem without dumping to a command prompt? 2. Have a notebook that also has the fedora 28, but it was a clean install. It doesn't even have the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. So, am assumming that this was left over from system from serveral upgrades ago. 3. Other than booting from another liveos type setup, is there a way to fix this kind of error. Machine has been rebooted, but have never seen the error of Structure needing cleaning before.

really off topic -- yahoo email issue!
by bruce 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Feel free to ignore this one !! I'm testing a webapp, using the test ipadress from the previous email thread on the apache/vhost setup. In this case, I'm sending a "test" email to a dummy yahoo email account to register a test user in the test app. When I perform this same action with a dummy gmail account, gmail accepts th email. I can see it. However, the yahoo process seems to have issues with the emai. I've submitted the test email address to the yahoo contacts list as well as checking the spam folder. No luck.

run script in xfce -
by Bob Goodwin 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

. I have a bash script that runs in a user terminal but I can't get it to run from an xfce launcher icon. I usually set up one without any trouble but this refuses to work as expected. This is what I have, the commented line works but the one before it is simpler, either way the result is the same, permissions are set to 777. All it produces from the launcher icon is a brief flash of the data and then a blank screen. [bobg@box83 ~]$ cat SambaFiles #!/bin/bash # SambaFiles xfce4-terminal -H -x & # /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --maximize -e 'cd /mnt/box48' & ls -ctr /mnt/box48/2018* In a terminal "[bobg@box83 ~]$ ./SambaFiles" produces the desired directory listing as does /home/bobg/SambaFiles, but neither works when configured in the launcher from the gui. Any suggestions appreciated, *Bob* -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3
