Screen goes dark when booting latest kernel
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora27 system on an older x86_64 machine and when booting
the latest kernel (I believe it was just released today) as well as
the previous two, the display goes dark and becomes unresponsive.
I've booted into the rescue kernel (an older 3.14 from fc21) to get it
back online.
$ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:09:10 UTC
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
All other current kernels failed.
How do I troubleshoot this?
Based on the output from journalctl, it appears to be something
related with gnome and/or packagekit and/or the display driver. Here's
a few select error messages that look like they could be the cause.
I've also uploaded the journalctl boot entry that I believe is
associated with this boot to pastebin:

Display cmd within shell
by bruce
Hi.
Running a centos/fed box, and trying to craft a simple shell test to
run a bunch of commands where the command is displayed as well as the
output
Ie. The following cmd might return 10 (the num of the files if the cmd
is run from the cmdline.
ls -al /cloud_nfs_parse/austincc*__parse.dat | wc -l
10
However I can't seem to figure out how to run the cmd from within a
shell script where I can display the "cmd" as well as the result.
#!/bin/sh
##
#cp.sh
#
# run as a test from the nfs /cloud_nfs_parse to gen the num of parse.dat files
# from the bn crawl
#
#
#-- this doesn't quite work.. as it generates the complete "ls...
output" but it does display the cmd and the resulting num of the ls
files..
(set -x; ls -al /cloud_nfs_parse/austincc*__parse.dat | wc -l )
exit
Thoughts/comments??
Thanks

NFS second disk -
by Bob Goodwin
I assembled an NFS server about a month ago and it seems to work
properly, has been in use continuouslysince then ...
However I installed two 3TB discs and only enabled /dev/sda. I would
like to simply copy data from time to time from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb.
I cant work out how to accomplish this and am about at the point of just
moving the second disk into a works station and doing an rsync
occasionally for a back up. I would prefer to keep the /sda/sdb drive in
the server. Presently the server has in fstab:
[bobg@ASRock-J3455M ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Thu Apr 12 16:33:43 2018
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
#
/dev/mapper/fedora-root / ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=d9715d27-426c-4e6f-8741-ea052fe7bab2 /boot
ext4 defaults 1 2
UUID=1128-BE6B /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
/dev/mapper/fedora-home /home ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap
and for exports:
[bobg@ASRock-J3455M ~]$ cat /etc/exports
/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash)
#/exports/home
192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0)
# /exports 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync)
# /exports/home/public/192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)
# /exports 192.168.54.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync)
Can anyone tell me what I need to do or point to an instruction for tobe
able to access the second disk?

F27 to F28 - Postgresql upgrade fails
by Clifford Snow
I just upgraded from Fedora 27 to 28. Everything working except the upgrade
from Postgresql 9.6 to 10
Searching for help led me to manually add postgis-2.3.so and
rtpostgis-2.3.so to /usr/lib64/pgsql/ and
/usr/lib64/pgsql/postgresql-9.6/lib/
Then when postgresql-setup --upgrade is run a fatal error is reported for
missing libraries.
the file loadable_libraries.txt contains
could not load library "$libdir/postgis-2.3": ERROR: could not load
library "/usr/lib64/pgsql/postgis-2.3.so": /usr/lib64/pgsql/postgis-2.3.so:

Any suggestions to solve this without having to manually restore from my

Thanks in advance,

soft lockup after hibernation
by peterlesterhuis＠telfort.nl
Hi,
Recently I installed Fedora 28 alongside Windows.
There is something wrong with powering off after hibernation.
When I have closed the lid of the laptop, and, some time later , wake up the system, it won't poweroff.
Powering off hangs with the message "watchdog bug soft lockup - cpu#2 stuck for 22s, ..."
When I poweroff the system without closing the lid some time (hibernation) the system is going down as it should.
When I boot into an older kernel the same happens, so it is not a kernel issue.
During starting up the system a short notice is displayed about "nouvau" and "fault". I cannot read the message properly because it is only visible for 1 second.
I don't know if this has something to do with the problem.
I would like to know if I can solve this problem.

Getting rpm update history with wildcarding
by Robert Moskowitz
I want to get history for all the pulseaudio components (to update my
audacity bug report at rpmfusion).
#rpm -q pulseaudio --last
produces
pulseaudio-11.1-18.fc28.1.x86_64 Thu 24 May 2018 09:59:34
PM EDT
but
# rpm -q pulseaudio* --last
results in:
package pulseaudio* is not installed
so how can I see all components, particularly when I don't know what
they are?
thanks

F28 how to disable dim of display on gnome DE?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
when using mate desktop I remember I could define different settings fir my
laptop display when on ac and when on battery.
In particular for the display brightness.
I see now in F28 with gnome desktop that after 15 seconds my laptop screen
dims and I don't know how to disable this function, neither overall nor
when on ac at least...
I found some references of settings in dconf related to backlight, but it
seems there is not one available for gnome...
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
