rpcbind update excessive delay
by Sam Varshavchik 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Applying the most recent batch of updates took excessively long on every system I updated. On the last one, I apparently isolated it to "systemctl restart rpcbind.socket" stalling. This gets invoked by the rpcbind package's scripts: root 9094 9068 0 10:14 tty2 00:00:00 /bin/systemctl restart rpcbind.socket root 9103 9017 0 10:14 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -fwu root [root@thinkpad system]# date Sat Dec 30 10:15:02 EST 2017 At that point, it's been sitting, doing nothing, for about a minute. Eventually whatever choked it finally unchoked, and the update continued. Checking the status of this job: ● rpcbind.socket - RPCbind Server Activation Socket Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.socket; enabled; vendor prese Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-12-30 10:17:21 EST; 39s ago So, it finally got started @10:17. So, it took around three minutes for systemd to figure out how to close and reopen a couple of lousy sockets. That's all, apparently, what it had to do here. Amazing.

mp4??
by Beartooth 28 Dec '17

My apologies if this is a Very Dumb Question: what are people viewing mp4 files with? I've tried a bunch of stuff, and searched "Fedora mp4" online, but it seems nothing I have installed will do it. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Password Managers

Is there any way to unify the password managers for Gnome (Keyring), KDE (Wallet), Firefox (internal), etc? If not currently, is there any work going on to make it possible? Thanks - jon

DWA192 Driver 8814au Loadable Under Kernel 4.13.16-300 but not Loadable Under Kernel 4.14.7-300.
by Stephen Morris 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Having just done a system upgrade, the upgrade has upgraded the kernel from 4.13.16-300 to 4.14.7-300, consequently I no longer have wifi access. Manually compiling the driver for 4.14.7-300 produces the following warnings: WARNING: "__vfs_read" [/usr/src/rtl8814au-5.1.5/8814au.ko] undefined! WARNING: "vfs_read" [/usr/src/rtl8814au-5.1.5/8814au.ko] undefined! A subsequent insmod 8814au or modprobe 8814au does not load the driver because of an undefined symbol, but does not specify what the symbol is. My assumption it is because of the above warnings. Having done a search through the headers for kernel 4.14.7-300 I have found that include file fs.h has the definitions for __vfs_read and vfs_read. In the driver include file osdep_service_linux.h I found the following statements: #ifdef CONFIG_EFUSE_CONFIG_FILE #include <linux/fs.h> #endif In an attempt to fix the warnings I did and explicit #include <linux/fs.h>, and recompiled the driver source but doing this did not resolve the warnings. Does anyone know what I need to do to resolve the warnings and hence make the driver kernel loadable? regards, Steve

guestmount --ro fails in fedora 27 on running VM?
by Tom Horsley 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

I've just gotten everything switched to fedora 27, and I'm now finding that guestmount fails on a running VMs disk image. I used to be able to mount --ro and see a read only snapshot of the disk even if the KVM was still running. Now I get a lot of errors when I run: LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 guestmount -d centinil -i --ro mnt One of the errors that appears is: qemu-img: /tmp/libguestfssn6HDK/overlay1.qcow2: Failed to get shared "write" lock Is another process using the image? And, yes, another process is using the image, but --ro used to work even when that was the case. Should I submit a bug on this, or is this change deliberate? (The guestmount does seem to work fine once the VM is shut down).

un-used wi-fi interface
by Tom Horsley 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

I'm not using the wi-fi in my Intel NUC, and about once a minute or so a log message appears saying "Hey! Your wi-fi interface isn't configured" (not that exact language, mind you :-). Any way to convince fedora to ignore this interface rather than honking about it every minute?

F26 hangs or dies
by Stephen Davies 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

I upgraded from F25 to F26 yesterday and ever since have been seeing the system frequently become totally unresponsive. It seems to be quite random and can only be resolved by hitting the reset button to reboot. On other occasions it doesn't quite die but starting anything takes several minutes rather than seconds. Thunderbird and dnf are examples but sometimes there is just no response to key strokes or clicks. The only clue that I have seen is that top often shows very high wait I/O levels and swap space is sometimes (but not always) low. Nothing has changed in the system workload or configuration. This is a production machine so any help will be very welcome. Cheers and thanks, Stephen -- ============================================================================= Stephen Davies Consulting P/L Phone: 08-8177 1595 Adelaide, South Australia.
