Anyone else have occasional nvidia crashes?
by Tom Horsley
I have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti in my system at work, using the
rpmfusion nvidia drivers (because nouveau can't go more than
a few hours without crashing). Every so often, when the X
server starts or is restarted by logging out, the screen will
go blank and the system will be frozen, needing a power
cycle to get it back.
This only happens at work, a very similar system at home with
a newer model nvidia card never has this problem (though it
certainly had the same crashes under nouveau).
Just curious if anyone else with the 750 Ti has seen similar
symptoms.

[F29] Command dvipdfmx (texlive) does not work
by Marco Guazzone
Hi,
On my Fedora 29, the command dvipdfmx does not work:
$ rpm -q texlive-dvipdfmx
texlive-dvipdfmx-20180414-28.fc29.x86_64
$ dvipdfmx
bash: dvipdfmx: command not found
Indeed, the executable file '/usr/bin/dvipdfmx' is a broken link that
points to a nonexistent file:
$ ls -al /usr/bin/dvipdfmx
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 26 19:22 /usr/bin/dvipdfmx -> xdvipdfmx
$ ls -al /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx': No such file or directory
I tried to reinstall the texlive-dvipdfmx package with no success.
I already filed a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1657755
I would like to know if some of you has this problem too, and if (s)he
already found a workaround.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best,
Marco

I'm sure I booted up on 4.19.6 on this system before without errors. In
fact my other system is running 4.19.6 so what might have changed to
cause this failure? The system booted fine on 4.19.5.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paolo

Mysqld refuses to start after upgrade to Fedora 29
by Danny Horne
Hi all,
Hope I can find an answer here because I don't know where else to ask.
I've just upgraded from Fedora 28 to Fedora 29 and mysqld (version
8.0.13) won't start. There's nothing useful in the logs so I've no idea
where to look for a solution. Was working fine in Fedora 28.
Thanks for looking

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?
by wwp
Hello there,
(after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!)
I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron
N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has
not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then
tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could
reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of
time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not
friendly ;-).
Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must
admit that I don't know what to do now..
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRL...
BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily
(artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly -
and that gave me hope!
Any hint or experience w/ such hardware?
Regards,

How do I : one static DNS , one from DHCP ?
by sean darcy
FC28.
I'm running a DNS server (unbound) on a VOIP server. It's crucial that I
can always resolve addresses, even if it's slower. Now DNS1 is set to
127.0.0.1, peerdns no. Giving:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dnssec-trigger-script
nameserver 127.0.0.1
What I want is:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver <whatever dhcp gives>
Any help appreciated.

kernel 4.19.6-300.fc29.x86_64 does not boot
by François Patte
Bonjour,
The last kernel 4.19.6-300.fc29.x86_64 on my f29 does not boot: after a
long stop at "reached target basic system", the boot stops with this
message (repeated many times):
dracut-initqueue timeout starting timeout scripts
then an emergency shell is opened
then what can I do?
Thank you.

Selinux problem -
by Bob Goodwin
.
I just upgraded this Fedora 27 to 29 and it refused to run xfce until I
"setenforce 0"
I never seem to have selinux problems and don't know how to deal with
them. Doing "ausearch -m avc" produces a slew of:
----
time->Mon Dec 10 17:10:06 2018
type=AVC msg=audit(1544479806.790:376): avc: denied { dac_override }
for pid=5795 comm="gmain" capability=1
scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tclass=capability permissive=0
----
I think they are all the same? How do I troubleshoot and fix this?

VPN Interface not Remaining Active With Firewall?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
When I start one of the two vpn definitions, that have been in
networkmanager for years and used to work fine (I haven't used them in
quite a while), it starts and I get a pop-up message saying that
interface tun0 has been activated in the firewall default zone (being
fedoraworkstation). This interface remains active for about a minute or
so until I get the pop-up message that interface tun0 has been
deactivated in the firewall default zone, and the vpn is no longer
connected. The vpn connection is using Openvpn.
I have checked dmesg for any message relative to tun0 or firewall
and there are no messages for either. How do I determine why the vpn
won't stay active?
regards,
Steve

USB Port stopped working
by PropAAS DBA
All;
One of my USB Ports has stopped working, trying to determine if it's a
hardware failure or a Linux issue. I'm running Fedora 29 - KDE spin on a
Lenovo P52S
If I grep for USB from /var/log/messages the results include this:
Dec 10 10:16:32 P52S pcscd[2117]: 00000000 ccid_usb.c:1266:ControlUSB()
control failed (1/3): -7 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
