[F25] Help: latest update broke nvidia driver
by Sherman Grunewagen 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

After updating my F25 installation (which included installing kernel-10-11-12-200) I can no longer boot X (w/ startx). rpm -qa | fgrep kmod-nvidia-4.11.12 returns kmod-nvidia-4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64-375.66-3.fc25.x86_64 so the kernel module gets built and installed. But I see Aug 2 21:41:11 pons kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mcount (err 0) in /var/log/messages which I've not seen before. I removed the module with dnf and rebuilt it with akmods (which again produced the "unknown symbol" message, and X still won't boot. Is anyone else having this problem? Suggestions for a fix? -Sherman

compiling dahdi-linux kernel module
by Greg Woods 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

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 '/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/firmware' make -C /lib/modules/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi DAHDI_INCLUDE=/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/include DAHDI_MODULES_EXTRA=" " HOTPLUG_FIRMWARE=yes modules DAHDI_BUILD_ALL=m make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.11.12-100.fc24.x86_64' CC [M] /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c: In function ‘dahdi_ioctl_iomux’: /local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c:5954:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘signal_pending’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (signal_pending(current)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target '/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o' failed make[2]: *** [/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.o] Error 1 Makefile:1496: recipe for target '_module_/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi' failed make[1]: *** [_module_/local/src/dahdi-linux-master/drivers/dahdi] Error 2 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, --Greg

Re: MikeeUSA -- Notice Bruce Perens has NO response (nor does Moglen). [Was: Re: GrSecurity]

Malformed ascii art saying "Don't feed the trolls" IE: Can't attack the message, attack the man. Because White Men Programmers simply do not know what they do not know and take proper, correct, legal analysis from a license attorney dealing with a relevant issue as "trolling". Here's a response from another attorney: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2017-July/044040.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/29/128 Notice Bruce Perens has NO response. Neither does Professor Moglen who apparently forgot to include a no-revocation clause in version 2 of the GPL when he drafted it, thus keeping open the possibility of any rights-holder to unilaterally recind their grant at any time for any reason so-long as they did not make a relied-upon communication to the grantee speaking otherwise. (seemingly** completely negligent drafting of the document) (a no-revocation clause would atleast make it easier to claim estopple and prevent unilateral revocation*) (Notice that the later edition; v3 (which linux is not licensed under) rectify this ommission (yes this is the main reason v3 had to be drafted, the patent issue is a foil)) But Bruce and Moglen are friends (and both look down on Hans Reiser; feeling disparagingly about his work because Hans Reiser obeyed the dictats of his God regarding the adulterous behavior of the wife Nina, and then further, Hans did not accept any other ruler/judge/power etc (thus rejecting the plea agreement)) thus Moglen stays silent as Bruce Perens libels me. They have their square glasses on, they love their civilization that raises the woman above the man, that makes the man a draft animal of the woman, and keeps the man's love: the young girl***, from him. Bruce Perens and Professor Moglen have adopted the white man's belief system: That the man is the beast upon which the woman rightly rides; (rather than the Overlord (ba'al) of the female). Bruce Perens, Moglen, etc look down on those who see beauty where it truly resides: in the young girl***. Bruce Perens and Moglen are thus feel Superior for spurning what is actually good and embracing a pale shadow that seeks to collapse upon them. *no guarantee however... this is an inherent right of a property owner... to recind unilateral grants,control his property, alienate it as he wished ** we do not know the requirements that the Client privately communicated for the drafting of the document ***( taking girl children as brides is permitted by the God under Deuteronomy 22, 28-29, hebrew ) Hans Reiser did nothing wrong according to the Book of the Law (Deuteronomy). Still, he stays strong. First A victim of false love Now A prisoner of conscience.

686 w/o 64: Whence?
by Beartooth 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I downloaded F26 and tried to install it to an old T42 Thinkpad (which currently has F22; I haven't been using it). It says it can't even boot, but needs 686 architecture withOUT 64-bit. So I went back to getfedora.org, and started looking-&-mousing around. (I want Gnome2 with Mate, or if not that, with Xfce.) Is it even there?

My F25 KDE Plasma completly froze. I even could not do Alt-SysReq REISUB. I had to turn it off. Is there a way to see if I can get some messages that would help me to understand what happened? Frédéric

This error pops up whenever my system boots up. Clicking on [Details <<] produces a message box with the single entry "Details" in it. What's happening? Thanks - jon

NFS4 kerberos
by Louis Garcia 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

I've setup a kdc server and I'm able to kinit from my client and get a ticket for ssh, nfs. I'm noticing nfs slow to mount, and disconnects randomly when mounted with sec=krb5p. When I mount insecurely this does not happen. I read that this has to do with gss but have not found a solution. thanks.

Print crossword puzzle -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

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? *Bob* -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-26/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3
