Bonjour, At the early beginning of the boot sequence, I have these kinds of messages: nouveau 0000:01:00.0 outp 04.0006:0344 no bios dp data What do they mean? Is there something to change in the bios configuration to satisfy f24? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Developing Android apps under Fedora/KDE
by Timothy Murphy 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

I have an old smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S2), unlocked, and I'm thinking of trying to write simple apps for it on my Fedora-24 laptop. I'm fairly familiar with Java (and Eclipse) (Long ago I wrote a program modifying TeX web2c to output Java). I haven't found a reasonably authoritative article on this, and would welcome advice and/or suggestions from anyone who has gone down this route. I ran "dnf search android" and found quite a few appropriate sounding programs, but found it hard to tell how they would fit together. I'd like to do it in as simple and standard a way as possible, eg not writing in C++ and using a program to translate that to Java. I've looked at a number of sites claiming to teach this topic, but none of the ones I have seen had concrete instructions of how to transfer Hallo World, say, to the phone and run it there. And all seemed to have their own special programs, eg I was just looking at one which said "Android Studio is the official IDE for Android development" but none of the others mentioned this program (or suite). As I said, I would be very grateful for any knowledgeable adivice on this topic. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

DNF update
by jarmo 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

3RD time happened, when doing "dnf update" XFCE crashed and had log in again. I know, there is bug somewhere and people have been told to do update in virtual console. Ok, twice I did in in console running in X. But now I used virtual console and when returned back into X, it crashed and had to log in again. What I have noticed, this have happened every time, when there has been update for SYSTEMD. X does not crash, when there is updates for some others. In my case, pure login is no good, I loose USB ports, what I use controlling hamradio stuff, so need reboot after crash. Hope after these crashes, that my logging database is not violated :( Jarmo

kde plasmashell eating cpu - FC24 all updates on INTEL Q6700
by Andy Paterson 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

I have just discovered (one of?) the reasons plasmashell was eating so much cpu and memory on my system. I have dual monitors and in circa FC20 I could get a panel on both screens then something happened (and I suspect I tried apparently unsuccessfully to restore a panel to one of the screens) and pretty well from then on the plasmashell problem grew. After looking on the kde lists for a clue as to what the problem might be (I notice its a "well known bug") I espied recently a comment about someone deleting a panel and finding there was another panel underneath!!!! So I deleted the panel on the screen that had one - lo' it was "still there" - I deleted that ..... for about 10 of them!!!!! The last one disappeared - but I could restore it (undo the delete) Now with just one panel my kde desktop has finally reverted to sanity after about 6 months! I will now try to work out exactly what happened and when it happened. Anyone else seen this?

change folder heirarchy in a tar file without extracting to disk
by Jerome Yanga 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Is there a way to change the folder structure inside a tar file without extracting it to disk first? For example, I have the following file/folder structure in a tar file, test.tar. dir1/ dir1/file1 dir1/file2 I would like the contents to be modified to. dir2/dir1/ dir2/dir1/file1 dir2/dir1/file2 Thank you in advance.

Miracast/WiDi Support for Fedora Workstation 24?
by 8bits1beard＠gmail.com 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

I have a WiDi enabled chipset on my laptop and when I was on Windows, really enjoyed using wireless monitors rather than using a HDMI cable. I've found mentions of MiracleCast, a *nix implementation of Miracast, but development seems to have fizzled out. Has anyone got this working with Fedora? Thoughts on why this technology seems to be lacking in the *nix world? Seems like every TV and even new Dell monitors have this built in so IMHO it's not some fringe feature anymore.

Konsole title doesn't change
by Mark Haney 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

For some reason, the latest Konsole package (konsole5-16.08.1-1.fc24.x86_64) has stopped updating the hostname on the title bar. I've not changed the profile info in the settings, so this is a bit of a mystery. Anyone else seen this problem? -- Mark Haney ::: Senior Systems Engineer *VIF* *International Education* P.O.

Now, after last "dnf update" I can't reboot system, or systemd does not response, no service status can't be checked, I get only example this kind responses systemctl status httpd Failed to get properties: Connection timed out An when I try systemctl --failed Failed to list units: Connection timed out systemctl daemon-reload Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out What has gone wrong? I see lots of zombies when do ps ax. As said, can't reboot anyway remote. Jarmo

Re: PSA: Do not run 'dnf update' inside GNOME, KDE or any other graphical desktop on Fedora 24

You are running a terminal under X, so you are susceptible to the problem if you have hybrid graphics. You could try the systemctl command Adam mentioned to confirm, knowing that it will crash X if you meet the criteria, and lose anything in progress. What Adam is saying is you need to run dnf in a virtual console environment (Ctl-Alt-[F2-F6]) to avoid the problem. This is non-X, and so even if X crashes, the dnf update won't be affected. There is nothing wrong with running a terminal under X for other purposes, just with running dnf update, and even then only for people that meet the criteria.
