System going unresponsive after this week's updates
by John Pilkington 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

I posted earlier about this, hoping that it had been solved. But it has happened again. Keyboard unresponsive, and ssh. Disc access light on. Here's some journalctl output covering the interval before the reboot done at 10:05. The vga monitor and HDMI tv had been turned off earlier, but were on-power at reboot. John P {{{ [john@HPFed ~]$ cd /var/RSG4 [john@HPFed RSG4]$ SYSTEMD_COLORS=false journalctl -S -14h | tee JCTL.txt Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. Users in groups 'adm', 'systemd-journal', 'wheel' can see all messages. Pass -q to turn off this notice.

How to See Google Contacts in Kmail
by Garry T. Williams 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

I see no way to retrieve Google contacts in Mail or Contacts in the Kontact application. In the Contact tab (Kontact application), I ask for a new address book and get the choice of many services and local "books" including Google Groupware, which is labeled "Access your Google Calendars, Contacts and Tasks from KDE". If I choose that, after allowing all access through a Web page, I get the choice of all the different Google Calendars and Task list. But there is no choice enabling Google Contacts. The dialog ends and there is no address book added to Contact. Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? -- Garry T. Williams

2023-03-13 @ **16:00** UTC - Fedora 38 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 12 Mar '23

12 Mar '23

# F37 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2023-03-13 # Time: **16:00** UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat Hi folks! We have 11 proposed Final blockers to review, so let's have a review meeting. Note that clocks went forward in North America this weekend, so the meeting time in UTC is an hour earlier than before. If you do not observe daylight savings time, or your clocks did not yet go forward, the meeting will be an hour earlier in your local time. Please double check! If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F38 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!
