F28 - kernel-PAE missing?
by Jim Simmons 20 May '18

20 May '18

I upgraded a 32-bit Fedora 27 system to Fedora 28 using the normal dnf upgrade procedure. The upgrade finished but the system is still running a Fedora 27 kernel. There don't appear to be any kernel-PAE* packages in the repos and I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the docs I've found. Are they no longer supported? A quick attempt at using the normal kernel didn't work - the system went to a black screen with just a cursor and hung. I did a control-alt-del and it hung with a message from systemd about starting something to do with the root device. I ran out of time testing - I'll look at it later. Is there anythng special about going back to the regular kernel? Thanks, Jim

20 May '18

Bonjour, I have seen that in fedora 28, 2.8 version of gimp is still provided.... Is there any chance to have the 2.10 version before f29 release?

Strange behavior with MATE desktop
by Paolo Galtieri 20 May '18

20 May '18

Folks, yesterday afternoon I started having some strange things occurring on my F27 system with MATE desktop. First issue is that when I tried to logout it didn't, even though it prompted for logout. What's interesting is that the "System" pulldown menu was missing the "Shutdown" option and the confirmation dialog only had 2 buttons, "Logout" and "Cancel". What happened after I clicked logout is that my session restarted all the apps I had running restarted, but now I had 2 volume control applets and 2 NetworkManager applets in the top panel. I tried again, this time though the "Shutdown" option re-appeared in the "System" pull down menu. However, my session restarted and now there were 3 volume control applets and 3 NetworkManager applets in the top panel. I tried again, and again my session restarted with now 4 volume control applets and 4 NetworkManager applets. In each case so far there were only 2 buttons on the logout confirmation dialog. I tried again, but this time the logout confirmation dialog had 3 buttons, I clicked on logout and this time it finally did log me out. The second issue is that now whenever I plug in an external USB drive I get a popup saying I'm not authorized to perform the operation. This last issue is really annoying since it has always worked. I haven't changed anything so I have no idea what suddenly caused these problems to occur. What's interesting about this last issue is that sometimes it does mount the drive when I login, however, if I unmount it, unplug it and plug it back in I get the "Not authorized to perform operation" message. These 2 problems only occur on one of my 2 F27 systems running MATE. Anyone know what might have changed and how do I fix it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Paolo

pychess F27/F28
by Joerg Lechner 19 May '18

19 May '18

Hi, sometimes I have the feeling that Pychess has a remember function of the last chess plays. Calculates Pychess only according to the programmed examples of the "chess plays of the "chess masters"" and according to the chess rules, or remembers Pychess also i.e. my last games? Kind regards Joerg

sound from virtual machine gone?
by Tom Horsley 18 May '18

18 May '18

I have just noticed that my Windows 10 virtual machine no longer sends sound out to the host where I can hear things. Unfortunately I got the annoying Windows 10 April update and about the same time I switched to Fedora 28, so I have no idea when sound might have vanished or which changes might be at fault. Anyone done all these updates and had sound keep working (or vanish). Is there some service I need to be running on fedora 28 to support sound I may have turned off by accident? (Or maybe the Windows 10 update killed off something inside the virtual machine that needs to be running). I suppose I ought to download updated Windows virtio drivers for everything since newer versions might be available (but it always takes forever to find them as someone keeps moving them to make them easier to find about every six months :-).

after F27->F28 upgrade, hangs at end of boot
by Dave Mitchell 18 May '18

18 May '18

I recently upgraded an 11 year old laptop from F27 to F28. (This machine has previously worked fine with many releases from FC6 onwards.) The upgrade went apparently smoothly. But now near the end of the boot sequence (filling-up teardrop turning into a fedora logo), the cursor appears in the middle of the screen, but doesn't move with either mouse or touchpad input. After a few more minutes the fedora teardrop vanishes, leaving a blank screen with a frozen cursor. Alt-Ctl_F1..7 do nothing. I can ssh in. journalctl shows (amongst lots of other stuff): May 13 21:36:07 pigeon systemd[1]: Reached target Network is Online. May 13 21:41:09 pigeon systemd[1]: Reached target Multi-User System. May 13 21:41:09 pigeon systemd[1]: Reached target Graphical Interface. There's nothing in the journal that leaps out at me as an error. Any idea how to debug this? (I upgraded a week ago; today I did a dnf update, but the problem persists). -- print+qq&$}$"$/$s$,$a$d$g$s$@$.$q$,$:$.$q$^$,$@$a$~$;$.$q$m&if+map{m,^\d{0\,},,${$::{$'}}=chr($"+=$&||1)}q&10m22,42}6:17a2~2.3@3;^2dg3q/s"&=~m*\d\*.*g

After system-upgrade F26->F27, system startup hangs after Reached target System Initialization
by Frédéric 18 May '18

18 May '18

Hi, I just ran the dnf system-upgrade procedure on my 3rd system and everthing seemed to work fine up to the installation of all packages and reboot. The reboot stopped after "Reached target System Initialization" (see below what is on the screen). I cannot log in via ssh. Ctrl+Alt+FN does not work. Note that I am used to the FAILED message about Load Kernel Modules. I do not know what it means but it normally does not prevent me from working. What should I do? Just try to reboot another time? F [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. See 'systemclt status systemd-modules-load.service' for details. Starting Apply Kernel Variables... [OK] Started Create Static Device Nodes in /dev.

Unable to lower cpu frequency
by JD 17 May '18

17 May '18

# /bin/cpupower --cpu all frequency-set -g performance 2G # /bin/cpupower --cpu all frequency-info | grep "current CPU frequency is" current CPU frequency is 2.80 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 2.80 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). Cpu can accept frquencies as low as 800MHz. So, does anyone have a more magical incantation to force the 2 cores to run at 2.0 GHz?
