bumblebee problem
by Pal, Laszlo 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

As I told, I've started to play with optimus under F22. It is definitely more promising than was years ago, at least I can start everything but 3D apps which is in my case is not so frequent, however ideally everything should work fine (intel for my normal x session, and on-demand nvidia when I need this power) I've used the following guide with bumblebee nvidia proprietary driver https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bumblebee#Fedora_22 Everything is fine except nvidia is still ON 12:52:37]vlad@tohuvabohu ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 0000:01:00.0 ON When I start glxgear, I'm getting this 12:58:06]vlad@tohuvabohu ~]$ optirun -vvvv glxspheres [ 689.104379] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf [ 689.104830] [INFO]Configured driver: nvidia [ 689.105417] [DEBUG]optirun version 3.2.1 starting...

Can't manage to make libvirt work on F22 server with xen
by Peter Boy 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hi all, I have to install xen on F22 server as Dom 0. Following http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_Host_Installation I managed to install the xen rpm, modify grub and reboot with xen hypervisor active (at least xl info told so). I installed libvirt following that instruction as well. It installed the packages libvirt-daemon-driver-xen libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-driver-network and its dependencies. The guide also suggested to install python-virtinst, but it could not be found. I used systemctl to start libvirtd without error message. Trying virsh I got the message it could not connect to the hypervisor. Further investigating I found, the new xen version is using libxl instead of xend, and I replaced libvirt-daemon-driver-xen by libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl, but no luck either. The aforementioned guide seems to refer to Fedora 20, so it might be outdated. Unfortunately I couldn't find a recent installation guide. Please, could someone give me a hint what to install or where to find a recent guide?

Can I move qemu vms between systems?
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

I am setting up a 'new' F22 system. On this F21 system, I have a F21 QEMU vm. Can I 'simply' move the image file in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ to the new system and run it? Obviously the VM will still be F21, but that is no problem. The two systems have identical hardware (Lenovo x120e).

Audacity Won't Start
by Craig Lanning 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Something has happened in the last couple of months that causes audacity to not want to start. If I type 'audacity audio-file.wav' in an attempt to get it to start with an existing audio file. It just exits. Is there some way that I can start it that will show me what it is trying to do so I can see where it fails? Any help figuring out what is causing problems and how to fix it would be appreciated. Craig Lanning

F21 - Missing LVM swap partition or Hardware Error?
by Erik Grun 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hey list! So, I am experiencing a bug under Fedora 21 (I think that I also had it under Fedora 20). A bit of back story: The HDD which is used in this PC was in an older one before. On the older PC I had Fedora 17 installed with LVM as my file system. I had to reinstall my OS after a failed upgrade to Fedora 19. I think that I did not swipe the drive completely and just installed Fedora 20 over the left pieces of what was once my operating system. Now the used file system is ext4. A couple of month later I bought this new PC where I used the old HDD, because why not. When I left my terminal open for a while I could see messages popping up, telling me that there was something wrong with my CPU cache. After some searching I found out that I didn't find out anything. My computer didn't crash when this bug showed up so it didn't bother me. I tried to upgrade to Fedora 21 a few weeks ago. I tried booting into "System Upgrade" but it would stop after some time telling me that there is a lvm swap partition missing or something. I managed to finish the upgrade without any further problems. And now SELinux (under F20 there where no warnings by SELinux) is sometimes throwing a warning that says: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -------------------- reason: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.1.4-100.fc21.x86_64 root=UUID=5ab84b55-b501-4390-a44b-f840ab4736f7 ro vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=vg_user/lv_swap rhgb quiet LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 dmesg(I post just the part where it says things about errors): [ 11.078336] [Hardware Error]: System Fatal error.

If you need any additional information just tell me. Now it does look more and more like a hardware error, but I am highly confused about the missing lvm_swap partition that it is trying to find. Apart from that Fedora works just fine. (Well, GTK+ seems to cause some trouble, but that problem is for another mail.^^) Thank you for your help. - -- Erik G. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJV0K/KAAoJEG+l8sBmqru1Ms8P/3Z0FHXOmx8QhVMXC21aSNFY juuDyrWX2E8KjM1QLtHshIfrg36LO6o2vj2Wu6FHWWZh9nNeAfL28Xbb0zxBlcaF Be1LbDfVnuppJ84Pwax5g4a++RUGnlrxk0iZTkuTVLFKZQ/V9m//J2sefnx6bEmB Qa5l2LOhUbheYv2WVDOOe1F+xVSbxERY96VkXOHlFS0bmkds42aLvtt4S1kRoh7z 7HzQlbpG/rUxW//F9RHIXJ3h31Ao9YSIP3DeFfgWLJ255UdzVVR0KdrnV9DwZ6La PuW+eqQlV7eey7ervIGNk1kPGmkBW8ih0iAbuhM5QBZj4+ITiW84T3RmUaA3fFRK orUakO6C06KfQd96+4WLQVbdKKSh5XP3eUZIJ8ps9lYaUZ1aZVscWsq7Sw2hTtzP MyNsee4tcM+4awp+bLL6PmwaaPj7Vekhp9P2E+B6G0rILYlusnsbwpMS/gkf3qnM xGGooTPsReViiCaG9ZUFPV84h0etjwOymvsSx7l6qWAfRemxZchpHjanbwk+/3D1 mG6liI5ZcIdt5+IuxBZWNcgx4yjNgo7XJzbDdygMtw36DOjw6olGYmRjEwN2b5cc Sbs2Dr3eFUhKKfPncybFbEBYUmsRAwrqdNRDQWwpelNH39Pig54+OpD1Qruc4IxQ OB/7RqiJShVIWyEv2Ey2 =rbfD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

rsyslog "stop" syntax
by Tom Horsley 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

I have a bunch of lines like this in /etc/rsyslog.d/systemd-drivel.conf: :msg, contains, "Activating via systemd" ~ :msg, contains, "Activation via systemd failed" ~ Every time I boot, rsyslogd complains about the deprecated syntax: Aug 9 18:39:21 zooty rsyslogd-2307: warning: ~ action is deprecated, consider using the 'stop' statement instead [v8.8.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2307 ] Yet no google-fu seems to be powerful enough to find an example of "using the 'stop' statement" Can anyone tell me *exactly* what to put in a file in /etc/rsyslog.d to use this mythical, yet uttery, utterly, undocumented "stop" statement? Absolutely none of the links from the URL in the message have any descriptions of how to use the new and improved syntax. The man page for rsyslogd still documents the deprecated stuff and doesn't say anything at all about any new syntax. This appears to be a classic example of open source project obfuscation by "improvement" :-)

nvidia proprietary driver and console
by Pal, Laszlo 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Hi, Recently I had issues with suspend/resume and it seems related to nouveou nvidia drivers, so I've moved to prop. using negativo's repo. Everything is fine, except my text console which is now text (640x780). Is there any way to restore the way it looked when I used open source driver? I've tried to search a solution, but it seems simple gfxpayload is not enough I've found this guide for FC20, but it seems something else still missing http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/ Any idea how to fix? Thanks L:

Firefox question
by Timothy Murphy 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

I'm running Fedora-22/KDE, and am not sure if my query is a Fedora, KDE or Firefox query. I notice that if I am viewing a page in Firefox, pressing the down-key sometimes takes me down the page, but sometimes does not. Is this basically due to a difference in the HTML of the 2 pages? Or is these some other explanation? And is there any alternative to the down-key if it does not work? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Mount USB drive at boot time in Fedora-22
by Jonathan Ryshpan 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

I would like my system to mount a USB hard drive at boot time, provided it is connected to the system. The drive is used for backup, and is usually, but not always attached. Fedora-21/KDE had an option to mount the drive when KDE starts, which is almost as good, but this doesn't seem to be available in Fedora-22. Is there some standard method in the USB device manager, or wherever, to do this; or do some control files have to be edited? If control files,which ones and how. Thanks - jon
