Re: (fedora) Re: after upgrade 20->21 gnome crashes when using rpmfusion's kmod-nvidia
by Jouk Jansen 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi All, Finally I got it working. I had to "downgrade" to nvidia-304, because my garphics card was not supported anymore in the latest driver (still waiting till someone releases the 340 version). As reported in my previous mail this did not help. However, together with an upgrade to the latest kernel, I got it working. Regards Jouk Pax, vel iniusta, utilior est quam iustissimum bellum.

After upgrade, cannot change shell theme in tweak tool.
by Sam Varshavchik 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

That's pretty much it. On one machine that was updated to the workstation product, in the tweak tool there's an explamation mark next to the "Shell theme" setting, and it cannot be changed. Anyone knows why? I have the various "gnome-shell-theme*" packages installed.

odd ball in the yum updates
by Tim 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

In my recent yum update on F20, I noticed a file being added for dependencies that I knew nothing about: clucene09-core rpm -i reveals: This package contains an old and deprecated version of clucene-core. You need it only if the software you are using has not been updated to work with the newer version and the newer API. rpm -e reveals: error: Failed dependencies: libclucene.so.3 is needed by (installed) qt-x11-1:4.8.6-18.fc20.i686 This, that a new update dredges in a deprecated file, doesn't seem like a good idea to me. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.4-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 23:59:46 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

A first in bug reporting
by Bill Davidsen 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

I was reporting a bug in fc21-x86 (polkitd hung 100% busy) and in the process discovered that the last upgrade caused eog to generate warnings about the "accessibility bus" which are not in the original install, at least from the fc21-Live-MATE-x86_64 ISO I used. Never found one bug while reporting another before, and I go back to Redhat desktop 6 or so. Just a fun thing for me, trying fc21 on a weekend instead of having time off. -- bill davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> CTO TMR Associates, Inc Unsigned numbers may not be negative.

Fedora 21: How do I get to the Software Selection screen as shown in the Install Guide?
by Jim Lewis 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hello all, I am a bit embarrassed asking this, as it must be something simple I overlooked. I have had no trouble installing the previous 20 versions of Fedora, but 21 has me stumped. I am using the Fedora 21 server DVD image, want the Mate base environment, and want to pick several add-ons. In general I want the screen shown in section 5.4.7 of the Installation Guide. When I attempt this the only base option is Fedora Server, and there aren't nearly enough add-ons to pick from. Thanks in advance for any help on this. I would really like to start using 21.

pdftk

What is the story with pdftk? $ sudo yum list pdftk ..... Installed Packages pdftk.x86_64 1.44-11.fc19 @fedora Is it orphaned? That would be a bummer! I depend on it a lot.

Re: Broken IR remote setup on Fedora 20

Thanks for all your replies. I didn't get a chance to test again until the weekend. Stupid work week.

I tried your approach just now: cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols rc-5 nec rc-6 jvc sony sanyo sharp mce_kbd [lirc] ir-keytable shows: === start ir-keytable Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event5) with: Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY SANYO LIRC other Enabled protocols: LIRC Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000 Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms === end ir-keytable My /etc/lirc/lircd.conf: === include "/usr/share/lirc-remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge" === The LIRCD logs when I start LIRCD and then run IRW === start lirc logs sh[2217]: lircd-0.9.0[2217]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd lircd-0.9.0[2217]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd sh[2217]: lircd-0.9.0[2217]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd sh[2217]: lircd-0.9.0[2217]: initializing '/dev/input/event5' lircd-0.9.0[2217]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd lircd-0.9.0[2217]: initializing '/dev/input/event5' sh[2217]: lircd-0.9.0[2217]: removed client sh[2217]: lircd-0.9.0[2217]: closing '/dev/input/event5' lircd-0.9.0[2217]: removed client lircd-0.9.0[2217]: closing '/dev/input/event5' === end lirc logs But when I run IRW and click a bunch of buttons on the remote, nothing shows up.

Maybe look through release notes > for something about wonderful new and improved remote support? > I checked, and it's possible that X is actually grabbing the remote and using it as a keyboard. I added a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-disable_mce.conf: === start 90-disable_mce.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "Ignore MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse" MatchProduct "MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb)" MatchIsKeyboard "true" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Remote" MatchProduct "Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815)" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection === end 90-disable_mce.conf: When I start X I see this in the logs: === start Xorg.0.log snippets [1366421.127] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) (/dev/input/event5) [1366421.127] (**) Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815): Ignoring device from InputClass "Remote" [...] [1366421.127] (II) config/udev: Adding input device MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb) (/dev/input/event16) [1366421.127] (**) MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb): Ignoring device from InputClass "Ignore MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse" [1366421.127] (II) config/udev: Adding input device MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb) (/dev/input/mouse2) [1366421.127] (**) MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb): Ignoring device from InputClass "Ignore MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse" === end Xorg.0.log snippets To me this says that X is ignoring this device and all its interfaces in /dev/input. So as far as I can tell, nothing is grabbing the IR receiver as input, lirc recognizes the device and is able to attach clients to it, but neither 'irw' nor 'ir-keytable -t' sees anything from the remote. More info: ir-keytable says that it's using keytable 'table rc-rc6-mce', and my /etc/rc_maps.cfg file has this: === start /etc/rc_maps.cfg #driver table file * rc-rc6-mce rc6_mce === end /etc/rc_maps.cfg I copied /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce to /etc/rc_keymaps/ and then unplugged and re-plugged in my IR receiver. dmesg shows this: === start dmesg snippet [1784677.192171] Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce [1784677.192354] input: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-7/3-7:1.0/rc/rc0/input38 [1784677.192601] rc0: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-7/3-7:1.0/rc/rc0 [1784677.192775] input: MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb) as /devices/virtual/input/input39 [1784677.194120] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0 === end dmesg snippet According to this the lirc_dev driver noticed it getting plugged in and loaded the ir-lirc-codec module to expose button presses to userspace. BUT here are all the kernel modules which are currently related to MCE: === start lsmod snippets mceusb 28026 0 ir_mce_kbd_decoder 13214 0 rc_rc6_mce 12502 0 rc_core 27490 13 ir_sharp_decoder,lirc_dev,ir_lirc_codec,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,mceusb,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_sanyo_decoder,rc_rc6_mce === end lsmod snippets In there I see kernel modules for plain old mceusb, the new in-kernel keyboard decoder (ir_mce_kbd_decoder) the old lirc drivers (lirc_dev, irc_lirc_codec) and rc_rc6_mce (whatever that is). Which kernel module is grabbing the input? Are there multiple modules trying to grab the input? If so, which one SHOULD be grabbing the input and how do I disable the other ones? It feels like there are at least two different systems trying to handle the IR input and all of them are failing miserably. Here are some other pages with LIRC-related configurations I've tried to follow, none of which have worked for me: http://atterer.org/mythtv-xmbc-remote-control-without-lirc http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote This is all so frustrating. It just feels like IR configuration is being shoved into the same bin as sound and printing: theoretically perfect but practically a pain in the ass. Between this and continued PulseAudio wonkiness I'm getting to the point where I feel it would be easier just to get MythTV running on Ubuntu or Windows or a pre-Fedora-18 system. Thanks, -jdm

fedora 20, on my system, actually works only to line command.
by Angelo Moreschini 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hi, currently my system (Fedora 20) start with the "command line interface", and though I try to change the "target units" using <cntr-alt- F1, F3, F5 ..> I never get the GUI (Gnome) . But always (in each of the above cases), the command "systemctl get-default", provides as output "grafical.target". I tried the command: "systemctl isoltate graphical.target", but, after a short time when it flashed the graphic symbol of Fedora (stylized letter F), everything is back to the initial situation. My question is : how I can change Fedora to use the graphical mode (ie gnome)? Thank you Angelo

Xfce and the windows key
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

On F21 I have not found anything in the Xfce keyboard shortcut on using the windows keys. The menu button seems to be working ok. The windows start button does not seem to do anything. I would think it would bring down the applications menu, but it doesn't. The start button + P does bring up the monitor switcher (better than GNOME just rolling through the modes). Start + L does not lock the screen. Don't know of any others, but this is my experience so far. Start+L would be nicer than ctl-alt-del.
