How to turn on networking from rescue boot
by vendor＠billoblog.com
So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well.
However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding
until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing
this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also
hung.
I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade.
Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on
the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and
see if I can upgrade again.
However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode.
Can anybody point me to a tutorial?
Thanks,
billo

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled
nautilus.
I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker
and its things
And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a
normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and
tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes..
Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least
calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that
several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment.
Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

It seems latest updates have solved my problems, both if network cable is
connected and without it.
My network card on laptop is this one from "lspci -v":
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet

It seems combination of latest kernel (4.16.6-202.fc27.x86_64) and latest
packages I have again my old behavior.
With network cable connected to an automatic dhcp connection:
[g.cecchi@ope46 ~]$ sudo systemd-analyze time

1.019s abrtd.service
819ms lvm2-monitor.service
716ms systemd-udev-settle.service

. . .
Without network cable connected (and without wirelsss autoconnect)
[g.cecchi@ope46 ~]$ sudo systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 1.389s (kernel) + 2.002s (initrd) + 8.702s (userspace)

Could LightDM be bad?? (LONG)
by Beartooth
I keep three PCs on my desk, running Fedora behind a KVM switch: #1 is
my present biggest fastest, #2 its predecessor, and #3 that one's
predecessor; I try try keep them as similar as is feasible.
They've all been having troubles for months, which have only gotten worse.
Under F27, they kept filling up with some sort of cruft, to the point
of refusing dnf upgrade; but when I found any of the cruft, it was in
places where I dared not lay about me with a cyber-battleaxe. I jumped
to F28 the day of release.
At this point, none of the three is usable at all without some dodge or
other.
#2 and #3 have each been wiped, twice, with different releases of DBAN,
followed each time with a netinstall of F28 with Mate, and then dnf
upgrade daily. All their boot messages show green OK. Those end with
"Started Light Display Manager."
Usually they proceed to a login box in front of the F28 display of blue
light-conducting fibers. That accepts my password, churns a little way,
and ends with a monitor full of blue horizontal lines, plus a few white
lines in the middle and at the bottom; there is nothing legible.
By doing Alt-Ctrl-F2, I get a display which lets me log in as root; I
keep doing dnf upgrades, and trying startx, every day. I also reboot
whenever there's a kernel change.
Startx always flashes a couple times, then fails with a few lines of
text, beginning with an attempt to adopt my monitor size (called "1920
1080" -- not 1920x1080),losing contact, and ending by saying that the
Xserver "terminated successfully."
I'd like to try replacing LDM with something else; how do I do that??
(I like Mate well, and would prefer not to swap it out,too)
Finally, #1 has two F28 kernels -- which do no better than on #2 nor #3
-- and a rescue kernel from F26. Sic. Twenty-six, not 27 nor 28. But
that rescue kernel does support almost my whole GUI (I miss Pan badly.),
and I don't have to descend to the console.
#1 got F28 by upgrading with dnf from F27, and still has a lot of stuff
on it that I'd rather copy to #2 and #3 directly than by way of solid
state storage, if I dare risk malware. (I don't know where else all the
cruft could have come from, apart from malware, but I hope someone here
does.)

F28 suspend
by Berend De Schouwer
I've got a laptop that has started misbehaving on suspend.
About 1 in 10 suspends the laptop fails to fully suspend. It switches
mostly off (screen off, etc.) but some of the motherboard keeps
running. I know some of the motherboard keeps running because:
- the wifi light remains on
- the laptop will get hot because the fans don't start
The laptop does not respond to the power button to wake up. It's
necessary to force halt & reboot the laptop by holding the power button
down for a few seconds.
9 out of 10 times suspend works fine.
This appears to be a BIOS or kernel issue, since the last entries in
the logs are:
May 29 09:02:17 sieve-deschouwer-co-za systemd[1]: Reached target
Sleep.
May 29 09:02:17 sieve-deschouwer-co-za systemd[1]: Starting Suspend...
May 29 09:02:17 sieve-deschouwer-co-za systemd-sleep[21435]: Suspending
system...
May 29 09:02:17 sieve-deschouwer-co-za kernel: PM: suspend entry (deep)
-- Reboot --
On a successful suspend I will additionally get:
May 29 08:21:32 sieve-deschouwer-co-za kernel: PM: Syncing filesystems
... done.
This started at the same time as I upgraded to F28. The laptop has
previously worked fine since F24 or F25, or maybe earlier.
It's happened with a few different F28 kernel patchlevels.
product: HP ProBook 450 G2 (L8A81ES#ACQ)
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI

Can anyone help me debug before I enter a bugzilla?

GNOME shell / login crash
by andrea
Hi
I am experiencing a lot of crashes just after logging in into GNOME.
I am using Fedora 28 fully updated and upgraded from 27.
I have already tried to remove all the extensions from .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
But it still happens.
It does not happens always, but as soon as it happens I have to reboot.
Any ideas?

udisks2 configuration
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I want to be able to open a crypted device as a non-root user and I
modified the file
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy
in order to do that.
That works, but it is not a good thing to modify a file from the distrib
to create a local configuration.
There is an empty directory /etc/udisks2/modules.conf.d where I tried to
guess what I could put inside for my purpose, but everything failed.
I did not find a clear doc about the udisks2 configuration.
Does anyone knows how to proceed?
Thank you.
