mp4??
by Beartooth
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.

by Jonathan Ryshpan
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?

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

Heads up: SATA kernel change coming to rawhide with a (small) chance
of disk corruption!
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
As part of: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedLaptopBatteryLife
I'm pushing a change to the Fedora Rawhide kernel to enable the new
med_power_with_dipm sata link powermanagement policy by default on
mobile Intel chipsets (Laptops, NuCs, etc.).
The good news about this change is that on laptops using a sata disk
it will typically save about 1W - 1.5W of power when the laptop is idle.
The bad news is that the min_power policy is known to cause data corruption
with some disks (has been reported with older sandisk ssds and some crucial
ssds). The new med_power_with_dipm sata lpm policy mirrors the default
Windows IRST lpm settings, so it should be safe to use, but the proof is
in the pudding.
I've done a blog post a while back asking users to test
this: https://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/18412.html and here is a list
of successfully tested systens + disks:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedLaptopBatteryLife#How_To_Test
So far no problems have been reported but if you're running rawhide now
would be a good time to make sure your backups are in order before
upgrading to the next rawhide kernel.
TL;DR: The next rawhide kernel build contains SATA changes which _may_
cause disk corruption, they shouldn't, but please check your backups
before updating.
Regards,
Hans
