Update F26 to F27
by Ger van Dijck 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Hi all, When trying to update from f26 to f27 , using dnf system-upgrade etc, , I get a message 2 problems with grub 2 efi needs grub-tools but none of the providers can be installed. Next problem : grub2-tools needs librpm.so.7 but none of the....etc. Next question : Is it possible to upgrade Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 , Fedora 26.i686 to Fedora 27.X86_64 on a 64 Bits machine ? ( Fc26 is installed in a 32 Bits version on a 64 Bits machine (Inspiron 3710 Dell). Following problem and question : The more I upgrade (F26) to the most recent version , the more system messages I get concerning ACPI problems , Discriptor problems etc., I think it is wise to install Fc27 and wait to see if this ( system messages) is still the case. Be so kind to inform and help me. Regards, Ger van Dijck. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Unable to remove packages before upgrade to F27
by Rick Stevens 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Ok, now I need some help. I'm trying to upgrade a machine to F27 but the upgrade process keeps bitching about two packages: ICAClient-13.3.0.344519-0.x86_64 and aether-ant-tasks-1:1.0.1-6.fc26.noarch. The first one does not show up as installed in dnf, rpm, yum or pkcon and I surely don't recall installing it. The second one shows up as installed in dnf from the command line (a local package), but it will NOT allow me to remove it: [root@golem4 bin]# dnf list aether-ant-tasks Last metadata expiration check: 2:34:52 ago on Thu 16 Nov 2017 03:29:16 PM PST. Installed Packages aether-ant-tasks.noarch 1:1.0.1-6.fc26 @@commandline [root@golem4 bin]# dnf remove aether-ant-tasks No match for argument: aether-ant-tasks Error: No packages marked for removal. I see tracebacks in the /var/log/dnf.log regarding this. GRRRRRR! I've rebuilt the rpmdb and tried to "--exclude=" those packages and nothing works.

Virtual network bridge stopped working after upgrading to F27
by Sam Varshavchik 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

I have a server with a KVM/Qemu VM running Windows that I need to be reachable by other machines on my LAN. A long time I stumbled my way into making it happen. I am a bit fuzzy on the details, but I ended up creating a virtual network bridge of some kind. Well, this whole thing broke after upgrading this server to F27, and the network simply didn't came up at all, on the entire server. There were no error messages, anywhere that I could find. The network simply didn't come up at all. Neither "ifup vnet0" nor "ifup eth0" did, apparently, anything. No error messages, no attempt to acquire the server's normal IP address via DHCP. I quickly figured out how to disable the network bridge, and reset the guest Windows VM to use NAT to have its own network access, and I'm back in business. Now, with the crisis averted, I'd like to figure out how to get my Windows VM back on the LAN, with its own static IP address. Originally this whole thing was set up ten or so years ago, and I guess things change, and something needs to be configured differently, but I have no idea how to do it now. Pointers to some FAQs appreciated. Here's what little info I have. This is how things worked prior to this painfull upgrade. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 is my real ethernet port. In order to regain network connectivity, I commented out the BRIDGE=vnet0 setting: DEVICE=eth0 #BRIDGE=vnet0 HWADDR=00:30:48:FC:83:FA ONBOOT=yes OPTIONS=layer2=1 TYPE=Ethernet NM_CONTROLLED=no USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=yes DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_PEERDNS=yes IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME="System eth0" #UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ETHTOOL_OPTS="advertise 030" I also had a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vnet0, which I renamed to ifcfg-vnet0.orig. I also had to go into virt-manager, and reset the guest's virtual NIC to "Virtual network 'default': NAT" setting. After doing that, renaming ifcfg-vnet0, and commenting out "BRIDGE=vnet0" in eth0, this server was able to acquire its usual static IP address via DHCP, and be back in business. The guest Windows VM now has network access via its NAT, but I'd like to figure out how to get it bridged back to my real LAN. The DHCP server knows both the network port's real MAC address, and the MAC address of the virtual guest VM's network port. Before I disabled the bridge, "ifup eth0" and "ifup vnet0" just did nothing, as far as I could tell. No error messages anywhere I looked, the commands just returned, after a brief pause, but without trying to obtain the server's real IP address via DHCP. Thanks for any pointers.

broken pipe installing kernel?
by Tom Horsley 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Just installed f27 workstation and did the first "dnf update" When it is running the script to install the updated kernel, I see this come out on the terminal: cat: broken pipe That does not cause warm fuzzies :-). The new kernel did seem to boot OK and I didn't notice any problems.

Horrible keyboard in virtual machine
by Tom Horsley 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

I'm trying to install the f27 workstation live image onto disk in a virtual machine (hosted on f26). It is impossible to type the passwords in the root and new user screens. It gets so bogged down it apparently thinks I've been holding down keys which I haven't been holding down. I keep getting the last character I typed repeated many timessssss I suspect installing to disk, and checking the password strength interactively is way too hard for it to do at the same time.

HP Intel i5-8250U laptop - No audio
by Richard Shaw 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

I just installed F27 (dual booting with Win 10 that came with it) on my wife's new laptop and everything seemed fine until she told me the sound wasn't working. I checked the usual stuff, that it was configured properly in gnome-control-center and it showed that the speakers were selected and configured for "Analog Stereo Duplex". I even installed pavucontrol and looked there and everything seems fine. Volume sliders are not at 0% (actually close to 100%) Pulseaudio is running... Alsa seems happy: # aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server default Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server) sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog Front speakers surround21:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC295 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers Looking at lspci everything looks good to me: # lspci -vv -s 00:1f.3 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 83f8 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 134 Region 0: Memory at b1328000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 4: Memory at b1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee003f8 Data: 0000 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_skl It looks like there's plenty of kernel modules loaded: # lsmod | grep ^snd_hda snd_hda_codec_hdmi 49152 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek 94208 1 snd_hda_ext_core 24576 1 snd_soc_skl snd_hda_codec_generic 73728 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_intel 40960 7 snd_hda_codec 126976 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_core 81920 7 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_ext_core,snd_soc_skl,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_realtek Searching google there seems to be similar issues but most of them were 2016 or earlier posts and frequently the lack of the right kernel module was part of the problem or alsa update. I even tried installing the oldest kernel F26 provided (4.11?) and no dice. Anyone else having this problem before I put in a bugzilla ticket? At this point I'm not sure which component to assign it to. Thanks, Richard

Reusing downloaded packages for multiple system-upgrades
by Sam Varshavchik 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

With prior releases, I saved a bunch of bandwidth with system-upgrading multiple machines by stashing away a copy of the downloaded /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade, and then copying it to the remaining boxes upfront. That directory was just a flat directory, containing the downloaded rpms, and their system-upgrades simply saw that most of the stuff was already downloaded. Looks like in F27, /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade is an entire directory structure, and each repository's packages are stashed away in subdirectory that are tagged with the repository's current version tag. What's the best way to minimize downloads now? I could make a copy of the entire /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade structure, but I will be rolling the upgrades over the course of several days, during which I expect all the update repos to be updated as usual, with their version tags changing.
