Old Kernel Modules Directories not Cleaned up
by Stephen Morris 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hi, DNF is currently configured to keep 3 kernel versions, consequently when I exceed that number of kernels it automatically uninstalls the oldest kernel, which I don't have any issues with, but what I do have an issue with is when these uninstalls are done it does not clean up the /lib/modules directories, they are left lying around. I had to delete a dozen of these directories this morning manually, why are these not removed when the associated kernels are removed? I didn't check what was in these directories, but I do have the nvidia and virtualbox kernel drivers installed as well, is it possible the removal of these when the associated kernel is removed is not cleaning up properly? regards, Steve

Re: fedora 21 booting error with 3.17 & 3.18 kernels-SOLVED- still need info
by Paul Cartwright 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

I finally let the boot sequence error out, took about 5 minutes. I got this line: Dracut-initqueue[283] Warning: Cancelling resume operation. device not found. then the next line showed the UUID, ending in c063. That was the OLD swap partition. I rebuilt the swap partition, did the swapon, and added that UUID to /etc/fstab. Still errored out with same error. I removed the 3.18.3-201 kernel & headers & module, reinstalled them, and now it works. where is that old swap info kept, if not in /etc/fstab?? I grepped for c063 in /boot and found entries in System.map-3.18.3-201... but I am not sure it was the actual swap partition. > running fedora 21 x86_64 > I was redoing my drive partitions, reran grub2-install, and now I get > stuck, and the boot won't complete when I select any 3.17 or 3.18 > kernel.

Annoyances with mate DT
by JD 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

For a while (like a few weeks), mate was saving the apps running on the DT when I shutdown the system, and they would be auto started on reboot. Slowly, some apps no longer get started. This behavior first manifested 2 or 3 months ago when the mate-terminals would no longer be started on reboot. Then it was ktorrent. Now, added to that is smplayer. I had raised a bug with mate, but the bug report was rejected. I am on the verge of dumping Mate altogether. Cinnamon is just not mature enough, and I literally detest gnome3. It does nothing that I want or like. Hope that future fedora users who want to switch to mate might see this and decide if they still want to run mate.

DRM MM Objects?
by Andy Blanchard 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Just upgraded a box at home to new hardware with embedded Intel graphics (i5 Haswell), did a clean install of Fedora 21, and while poking around trying to fix a few issues while rebuilding my config spotted something I've not noticed before. With KDE running "lsof" lists over a thousand entries like this: Xorg.bin 659 662 root DEL REG 0,4 16016 /drm mm object Xorg.bin 659 662 root DEL REG 0,4 16011 /drm mm object kwin 964 zocalo DEL REG 0,4 38725 /drm mm object kwin 964 zocalo DEL REG 0,4 19275 /drm mm object QProcessM 964 986 zocalo DEL REG 0,4 19277 /drm mm object QProcessM 964 986 zocalo DEL REG 0,4 47240 /drm mm object These are the only three processes that appear to own these files, and the number of entries appears to fluctuate as windows are opened/closed, and other GUI events happen. A Google search comes up with a bunch of stuff about memory leaks from a few years ago, plus some documention on Kernel memory management, but I couldn't find anything that explains what these "/drm mm object" entries are, whether this is normal behaviour, or if there is potentially a problem. Any ideas? -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe

Downloaded /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm from google. Installing it yields this error: Transaction check error: file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-28.fc21.x86_64 Is there a way to get around this?

Hello, I am trying a fedora 20 to fedora 21 for a DVD I launched fedup --device /mnt/sr0 --product=nonproduct Then I boot on fedup. The installation started fine. Then I lived. When I returned, the machine had reboot on the DVD. Hence I restarted the machine but there are non option to boot on the new installation. While https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp… says Once the upgrade process has completed, the system will reboot and an option to boot Fedora 21 will be on the grub menu while: fedup.log says [ 27.188] (II) fedup:message() WARNING: no new kernel will be installed during upgrade Then I try to boot on the kernel 20 The boot was OK, It booted in text mode. I run startx but no graphics ! I attach the log file Anyway I check on the installed packages. There is no kernel 21 installed !

Another systemd annoyance
by Heinz Diehl 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hi, tried to safely bring down a crashed Fedora 21 machine today, but M-sysrq didn't do anything. After bringing the machine up again, the logs showed that M-sysrq functionality was disabled. After investigating further, it seemed that only Sysrq-S (emergency save) was actually working. In /etc/sysctl.d/01-sysctl.conf, "kernel.sysrq=1" was present. It took me nearly 30 min. to find out that systemd has it's own sysctl definitions, gladly ignoring/overwriting /etc/sysctl.d. In /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf, "kernel.sysrq=16" was set, which is what crippled full sysrq functionality. In addition, I'm curious what happens when the next systemd update gets pulled in. Most probably, my manual settings will be overwritten with what systemd thinks is good for the user..

Why does Anaconda overrides user decisions?
by Sudhir Khanger 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hello, 1. Anaconda changes X in sdaX. If you make a choice on order of /boot, swap, and / partitions, Anaconda changes the order. As long as layout is valid why does Anaconda has to change it. 2. 4 primary partitions are allowed on a disk. If I do that Anaconda changes it to 3 primary and 1 logical partition. Why? 3. There is no option to create a partition and leave it for future use. How do I create a partition and not have to use it immediately. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com, github.com/donniezazen, 5577 8CDB A059 085D 1D60 807F 8C00 45D9 F5EF C394.
