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

Odd ping problem
by Gary Stainburn
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

Copr repo for kernel-stabilization owned by jforbes
by poma
i.e.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jforbes/kernel-stabilization/repo...
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
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 . .
Thanks,
Phil.
