dnf failing to update
by Richard England
Recently I've started seeing failure with dnf update. It appears that
I'm attempting to access a RedHat ipaddress presumably to update the
repomd.xml file but it is failing and seems to indicate that there is a
"network failure" (code 4)
http://209.132.178.35/25/repomd.xml appears to be a dead link
I have attempted to remove /var/dnf/cache completely thinking it was
storing the IPaddr there but to no avail. Where is this URL/IPaddr
coming from?
Has anyone else encountered this or know where to start to debug? I have
found that all three of my Fedora 25 systems are exhibiting the same
symptom.

qemu/kvm vs top
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I'm running a Windows 10 VM under QEMU/KVM, using libvirt via the
Virtual Machine Manager. I have the VM configured with 8GB assigned to
the VM with hugepages (of 16GB total in the box) and VFIO passthrough
of my Nvidia graphics card. I have also pinned 2 of my 4 CPU cores
(i.e. 4 threads) for gaming. CPU is an i7-3770.
Sometimes the GPU runs hot and I pause the VM to let it cool, however
'top' shows qemu-system-x86 sucking up over 25% of CPU. OTOH the KDE
System Activity tool shows it using only 3%. Clearly they can't both be
right.
Is this a bug in 'top'?

Fedora on a NUC?
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Does anyone have experience with installing Fedora on a NUC?
In case anyone here doesn't know what a NUC is: it happens to stand for
Next Unit of Computing. It is a 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.5-/inch/ box having the
minimal number of components to support desktop functions. You equip it
with your own hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc., and can drive up to a
4K Ultra-style monitor. Some people use its VESA mount to mount it on
the back of their TV. Result: instant smart TV--smarter than any TV in
the store, because it can handle word processing and regular Web apps in
addition to video and audio streaming.
Word is that it normally ships with Windows 10, but can support any
number of distributions of Linux. I want to know whether Fedora is one
of them.
It sounds like the ideal small office/media lab/home theater solution.
Pair it with a good NAS and you have all the computing power you need,
with a fraction of the physical--and carbon--footprint.

It was an almost-funny coincidence that the very next posting in this
list was Francois Patte saying that the nouveau driver was causing his
system to have the same sorts of problems that I had back in 2013,
causing me to switch to the proprietary nVidia driver at that time!
I've been watching for Rick Stevens to chime in on that new thread; he
was a great help to me on that problem in 2013. If Francois's new
thread had not shown up, I would try going back to the nouveau driver.
But now I think it unwise.
thanks,
Bill.

nvidia nouveau problems
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I have an nvidia graphic card (NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GT]
(rev a2)) and sometimes, with the nouveau driver, the X system freeze
and I have to reboot.
I get these messages in the logs:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nv84_xuc00f
failed with error -2 ...: 2 Time(s)
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nv84_xuc103

nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: DATA_ERROR 00000034 [] ...: 399 Time(s)
Where to report this?
I recently changed for the proprietary driver from rpm-fusion and --- I
cross my fingers --- this problem did not occur till now....
Thank you

Neither removing it nor changing "off" to "on made any difference that I
saw.
Back in September, 2013, I opened a thread "problem: system freezes" in
this list. What solved the problem was Rick Stevens' suggestion to
replace the "nouveau" graphics card driver for my nVidia graphics card
with the "nVidia binary driver". Using the commands that Rick gave me
back then, I check what's being used now:
bash.2[~]: lsmod | grep -i nouveau
bash.3[~]: lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia_drm 49152 1
nvidia_modeset 790528 4 nvidia_drm
nvidia 12308480 68 nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper 151552 1 nvidia_drm
drm 348160 4 nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper
bash.4[~]:
So yes, I'm using the proprietary nVidia driver.
The blacklisting is not my doing. I don't know why it's there, or if it
should be there. But it does seem consistent with my system using the
nvidia proprietary driver.
Does it matter that
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080,1600x900,1280x720,1024x576,auto
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
come after the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in the /etc/default/grub file?
I'm guessing it does not matter, but I'd like that confirmed by someone
a lot more knowledgeable about these things than am I. I'm highly
uncomfortable playing with something as critical as grub.
thanks,
Bill.

Re: Fedora on a NUC?
by Vikram Goyal
I think there's another option with a much smaller carbon footprint & much
lighter on pocket.
I only requires around 10 wattage per hour electricity usage (Wattage
includes Modem electricity consumption also). Negligible wear & tear (EX:
HD crashing due to sudden power loss) with almost same functionalities of
like Open Source OS , Media Centre , Internet etc
Raspberry Pi (Wifi) (in place of NUC) + SDCard (In Place Of HD) + OpenElec
Media Centre (In Place of Fedora). Connect it to your TV through HDMI port
& access it's files through wifi,
