anaconda problem
by François Patte 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

Bonjour, I try to make a new install of fedora 25. I want to make my own partitionning but it is almost impossible: I create some partitions (/, /boot, /home, etc) but after sometimes anaconda refuses to do anything: it does not add anything and this happens randomly after I created 2 or 3 partitions it stops to add anything. For instance: I create / and swap and /home, after that it stops..... I exit and come back; I create / and /boot and swap and /home and /var, then it stops.... Once I could create all partitions I wanted! Unfortunately anaconda crashed a few minutes after the beginning of the install! Anaconda is really bugged! (For instance: I ask for an install in French langage, when I want to add a mount point, a dialog box opens with a help message in French: "par exemple <<20Gio>> without the quotes" If I type 20 Gio as suggested, anaconda does not know what 20Gio means (Gio=Gib in French), and gives an awfull size, for instance 46Mio or something else...) -- 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

Can anyone explain this Evolution behavior to me?
by William Oliver 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

I'm running Fedora 25, with current upgrades, on an HP laptop (uname -a: 4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 13 19:26:40 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) I normally use KDE 5 as my desktop, but I use Evolution to read mail. Recently, and shortly after a recent "sudo dnf upgrade," I ran into a problem in which I could not reply to emails in Evolution. I could fetch and read mail, but when I tried to reply, either the window would come up greyed out and I could not enter text, or I could type a few letters and it would hang. This repeated for a couple of days, including various reboots and such. I didn't get around to running it from a terminal, so I don't have error messages there, but there were no messages in any logs. Then I decided to see if the same error occurred in GNOME, since it's a GNOME program. I brought up GNOME, and it worked fine. Hmmm.... So, I logged in using KDE to run it from terminal and look for error messages -- and the problem went away! Now it works fine. I'm just trying to understand why running it in GNOME would fix it in KDE. Anybody know? billo

r8712u driver fails in F25
by David A. De Graaf 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

The r8712u driver from the staging area has stopped working in Fedora 25. This driver supports (among others) my emergency USB DLink DWA-130 adapter that I use when the laptop's built in wireless (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac) is "too advanced" to connect to some old wireless router. The r8712u driver works just fine in Fedora 24 and it seems to be substantially unchanged. I ran 'modinfo r8712u' on both F24 and F25 and diff'd them. The only differences are in the filesystem locations and labelling. There was no other substantial difference. I've monitored dmesg while plugging the DLink adapter in and it's apparent that 1 - it is detected with proper vendor and product IDs. 2 - the r8712u module is selected and registered. 3 - the correct firmware is loaded from rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin 4 - an endless stream of messages ensues: [ 262.524809] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready and, of course, the new interface never becomes available to NetworkManager. What's gone wrong? Why does the same driver work in Fedora 24 but not in Fedora 25? How do I regain operability? -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc. Hendersonville, NC dad(a)datix.us www.datix.us

MANPATH

gphoto2 problem -
by Bob Goodwin 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

. About a week ago I began to have a problem with gphoto2 which normally just works. I don't use it every day and I don't know exactly when it began doing this but there were updates from Fedora and Apple. The only thing I found via Google was mention of a lock problem and this does not appear to be a lock problem. The camera is detected: photosnew]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- Apple iPhone 5 (PTP mode) usb:003,006 [bobg@box10 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files However any command to download from the camera yields the following error: photosnew]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files *** Error *** PTP Invalid Storage ID *** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') *** For debugging messages, please use the --debug option. Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem. If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto developer mailing list <gphoto-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, please run gphoto2 as follows: env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --get-all-files Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.
