Funny display on Raspberry Pi
by Toralf Lund
I have a Raspberry Pi 3B running Fedora AAarch connected to my TV.
After installed the latest version 31 updates, the display went weird on
me. Monitor preferences list an "unknown" monitor with resolution
1824x984 and refresh rate 77 Hz, and colours are all wrong. What should
be red or orange is blue, blue is red or brown, and I'm not really sure
what everything else I see on the screen is supposed to look like, but
the greens may be more or less right.
Any idea what's going on?
I'm using the MATE desktop.
If I connect my CentOS 7 laptop to the same HDMI port using the same
cable, everything seems just fine.

I want to help Fedora Project with ARM
by Jeffrey Serio
Hello,
I'd love to help out my favorite Linux distribution and get low-level
development experience. In particular, I'm interested in working on U-Boot
to get it to boot Fedora aarch64 on a RockPro64. I have a Bachelor of
Science in computer science, so I know how to code. I've used Java, Python,
and C#.
I'm looking for someone willing to be a sort of part-time mentor; i.e. they
wouldn't have to hold my hand, but at least help me get started in setting
up an ARM/U-Boot development environment and answering questions I would
have about U-Boot.
Cheers,
Jeffrey

Building fedora-arm images
by Fabrizio D'Angelo
Hello,
I'm part of a systems programming group at the University of
Massachusetts Lowell.
We're using Fedora and Raspberry Pis as part of an introductory IoT course.
Right now we're using an install script to set up fedora-arm-minimal
images (found here:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/31/Spins/aarch...).
We would really benefit from building our own Fedora 31 images for the
RPi as that would reduce a lot of overhead for us when testing, as well
as reducing overhead for the instructors and students when setting up
RPis for the first time.
We've tried image-factory, livemedia-creator, appliance-tools, oz... No
luck with anything yet.
We started this project in September 2019 and building custom images is
the one thing we have made no progress on.
I'm sure there is some known combination of scripts/programs, hardware,
and operating system that was used to produce the Fedora-Minimal images
we've been working from.
Is there anyone on this list that has that information or knows where I
could find it?
Thank you,
Fabrizio
