So long nouveau
by Tom Horsley
Well I've been using my newly installed fedora 26 boot partition
for all of a half day, and the nouveau driver just completely froze
up the display (exactly the same thing that happened on fedora 24
with nouveau). I guess I'm off to look through the logs for any
info and then install the rpmfusion nvidia binaries.

compiling dahdi-linux kernel module
by Greg Woods
The dahdi kernel module (used by asterisk for some Digium telephony cards,
including the one I have) is not included in Fedora because it is not free
software. The dahdi configuration tools are included, but not the kernel
module. The software is free as in beer, it can be downloaded and built,
and I have successfully done that in the past. However, the last time the
kernel module compiled successfully was back
at kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64 . On all newer kernels that I have tried, I
get this:
[root@worldsys dahdi-linux-master]# make
make -C drivers/dahdi/firmware firmware-loaders
make[1]: Entering directory
'/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/firmware'
make[1]: Leaving directory

make -C /lib/modules/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64/build
SUBDIRS=/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64'
It looks like some warnings are being treated as errors, such as an
implicit function declaration in this case. Is there a way I can turn that
off just long enough to get this module built? I'm stuck running a
non-updateable kernel until I can find a way around this. In my early
career I used to build stuff all the time, but it has been a while since I
have had to compile anything from source.
Thanks,

Print crossword puzzle -
by Bob Goodwin
This is a new install, updated, Fedora-26 using XFCE, however I believe
the problem began with Fedora-24.
I print several puzzles every day usin Firefox, puzzles presented in pdf
print without any trouble, however those that require Flash stop working
when the Fedora print window pops up, it looks normal but does not
display/recognize my printer, the printer name is missing/blank. I am
forced to use SeaMonkey to print the flash sites such as:
http://puzzles.usatoday.com/
Using Firefox the line that says "Print to Printer:" simply shows "No
Printer." SeaMonkey shows the printer and prints. It seems Firefox
should do the same and it used to ... I've googled this extensively but
never come near finding an answer. I would prefer not having to use a
second browser to print puzzles.
Can anyone offer an explanation, better yet a fix?

I mean only this two virtual network adapters can be seen by
# ifconfig
that's all
neither the player,
the workstation nor
the virtual network editor front end start ...
it is complete unuseable ...

I give up, no change to bring VMware Workstation running after F25->F26
upgrade ...
by Walter H.
tried VMware Wkst. 12.5.6, also 12.5.7 ... no change ...
even the hack to get the additional virtual network interfaces, nothing
helped ...
maybe the next release of VMware Wkst. 12.5.8 will run ...
as VMware Wkst. is essential for me, there is no way having Linux
instead of Windows;
the decision to try it with Fedora is the feature of inplace upgrade and
keep it up-to-date ...
I'll keep my old windows running as log as the hardware is working ...

Not sure which FM I need to be reading: auto media mount trouble
by John Morris
I have managed to hose something in my account.
In Fedora 24 about 2/3 of the time when I login the only item in
Computer was "File System" and inserted media (CD/USB) neither mounts or
appears. The other 1/3 of the time it worked. Not good. But the clock
is ticking on F24 now so I updated to Fedora 25 and it got worse. I get
entries for every mount point, tmp, sys, everything plus I get desktop
icons for them all too. This is on Mate if you are wondering why I have
icons on the desktop. But at least it is now consistent, it happens
every time.
Made a fresh account and logged into it and everything works normally.
Tried a couple of times and it appears reliable. So whatever is wrong
it is just in my account but I can't figure out what got corrupted.
Google is little help, all the automagic plumbing has been rewritten so
many times most hits are to pages discussing obviously wrong things.
While logged out I have tried removing .gvfs, anything suspicious in
~/.config ~/.local, like gvfs-metadata, systemd/user, .ccache, .dbus,
Even looked in /var/tmp for leftover cruft. So what file does control
the current automagic stuff?
Upside is I have finally seen accelerated 3d/video decode in a VM without
a Kaboom so as usual, upgrading brings new shiny.

ddns stopped working after F26 update
by Barry Scott
I have a dhcod/bind combination working very nicely registering host name from DHCP into DNS.
But after the update to F26 ddns stopped working. I see no error messages but did notice
that my named update log file no logger sees any messages logged into it.
Is this a known problem? Or do I need to investigate more?

Virtual Machine Manager -
by Bob Goodwin
This computer runs Fedora 25 on /dev/sdb
and Fedora 26 on /dev/sda. I use the
boot menu to select the drive and system
I want, it defaults to Fedora 26.
VM on Fedora 25 has Windows 10 running
on it. How do I move that to
virt-manager on the Fedora 26 system? Or
is it simpler to make a new installation?

KDE Discover (Software Center) Crashes
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Whenever I exit plasma-discover, which shows in the KDE start menu as the
"Software Center", my system reports a crash. There don't seem to be any
harmful effects, apart from the message itself. Has anyone else seen this?
Does anyone know what is the reason for the crash or how to prevent it?
Thanks - jon
