Touchpad, Fedora 25
by Geoffrey Leach 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

On moving from Fedora 19 to 25, I find that the touchpad RMB is no longer functional. The installation was made from DVD, so whatever config is provided by the install is what I have. xinput suggests that the RMB is not configured, so when I attempt to enable it, xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "libinput Click Method Enabled" 1,1 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 131 (XInputExtension) Minor opcode of failed request: 57 () Serial number of failed request: 20 Current serial number in output stream: 21 Any ideas? Thanks.

system suspend
by Jeffrey Ross 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

I've loaded or configured "something" within Gnome so when I log into the system from the GUI the system will immediately go into a suspend state, I bring the system back out of suspend by pressing the power button and the system works fine from there, if I log in via ssh the system is fine. System is Fedora 25 (note config files were brought from 24) and everything else appears to work fine. Few system notes, - hardware Lenovo T540P which is in a docking station with 2 monitors, I do have "tlp" configured and it appears to be functioning properly. Where can I identify what applications are being loaded and where can I locate (or enable?) the log files for my gnome login session? As a last resort I'm guessing I could wipe my gnome config and start over although I'd like avoid that if possible, however if I decide that is the way to proceed, which files in my home directory would I need to remove? Thanks, Jeff

Ibus typing booster apparently does not work on F25
by Paul Smith 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

Dear All, I have just installed Ibus typing booster, which does appear on the system tray, but it does not show up with word suggestions while writing a text on LibreOffice Writer, for instance. How should one activate Ibus typing booster? Thanks in advance, Paul

digikam and Iphone (5s) on FC25
by Jens Neu 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

Hi all, I just noticed that my digikam (digikam 5.4.0-2.fc25, libimobiledevice 1.2.0-8.fc25) detects my Iphone (most recent IOS updates) as camera but fails to display photos. I did not find a bug that describes the behaviour. Can anyone confirm? regards Jens

Booting Fedora-25 in VirtualBox hangs with recent kernels (4.9+) - anybody else?
by Clemens Eisserer 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

Hi there, On my laptop I dual-boot Fedora - running it either on the real hardware or inside a VirtualBox from its native partition. Thanks to not having persistent information about hardware (registry) - this works absolutly flawless - in VirtualBox the vbox drivers are loaded while on the real hardware I get the real drivers including OpenGL and everything else. However with recent kernels (~4.9+) the system hangs at the following items: Starting Hold until boot process finishes up... Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen... When I boot with 4.5.4 (fc24 leftover) everything works, the whole userland/userspace is unchanged. I wonder ... has anybody else experienced this issue? Thank you in advance & best regards, Clemens

anyone using linux client for AT&T's global network client
by Robert P. J. Day 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

i suddenly have a need for a (fedora, of course) linux client for at&t's global network client, and i found this page from a few years back: https://nowhere.dk/articles/installing_at_t_global_network_client_on_ubuntu which links to rpms for that package but they're a few years old (2010), so i have no idea what shape they're in now. i'll give this a shot, but is anyone out there doing this, and can summarize how successful it is? thank you kindly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Odd ping problem
by Gary Stainburn 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Here's an odd one for you. I have a Fedora 19 box - GROUCHO - that is the DNS/DHCP/email/...... server for one of my LANs On there I have a home-grown network status monitor which pings a list of IP's and monitors the state, reporting anything that goes missing. The IP address of this host is 10.6.1.1/24 I also have a Centos 7 box - ZEPPO - on the same subnet/VLAN. This box is a file/print server. This box has two IP addresses 10,6.1.3/24 and 10.6.1.101/24 Groucho happily pings Zeppo on the 10.6.1.101 address. I have now added a USB WiFi dongle to Zeppo and configured it using nmtui. This is to put Zeppo onto the WiFi and enable Air Printing from IPads. All of this works perfectly fine, and no other devices have any issues - except groucho. If the WiFi link is up on Zeppo, Groucho cannot ping it. If the WiFi link is down on Zeppo, Groucho can ping it. As I say, the WiFi link state doesn not affect any other device, Linux or otherwise. Neither device have firewalling enabled (for this testing) and both devices have very simple routing tables. Even when Groucho cannot ping Zeppo, Zeppo can still ping Groucho --------------------------------------------------- [root@zeppo ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.1 10.6.103.254 255.255.255.255 UGH 600 0 0 wlp0s26u1u2 10.6.1.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.101 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 enp3s0 10.6.103.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 600 0 0 wlp0s26u1u2 [root@zeppo ~]# nmcli con up RW54254 Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/2) [root@zeppo ~]# --------------------------------------------------- [root@groucho ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.6.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p4p1 10.6.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 p4p1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 p4p1 [root@groucho ~]# ping zeppo PING zeppo.ringways.co.uk (10.6.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data.

by poma 02 Mar '17

i.e. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jforbes/kernel-stabilization/repo/f… Is the Fedora Copr generally slower at retrieving the packages, or is it just this repo?

Microkernels - Genod Framework - Error building on F25 x86_64
by Philip Rhoades 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

People, I use Fedora for just about everything (well OK, I use Android too . .) but I am interested in microkernels and their possibilities so I started playing around with Genode but I got an immediate error in the build and when I posted a note on the Genode list to ask about how to fix it, I got this reply: 'your host system misses a proper C++ compiler, which is needed to build the "hybrid" fb_sdl component (hybrid means that it is both a regular Linux program that is linked against the glibc and interacts with the Linux world, as well a Genode component that interacts with the Genode world). The sup++ library is normally part of the 'g++' package. To avoid stumbling blocks like this, please revisit the prerequisites listed here: http://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/getting_started ' However, the stuff there left me none-the-wiser about how to fix the problem . . If anyone has any suggestions about how to proceed (or about microkernels in general) I will give it another shot - otherwise I wait till the next time something piques my interest in the subject . .
