F28 suspend to RAM seems to be broken
by Robert Moskowitz
Using Xfce desktop. I have been having flaky suspend activity since
shortly after I installed F28 and it is getting worst.
I have noticed that sometimes on suspend, it right-away unsuspends then
I log in, suspend again and it 'keeps'. I thought it might be because
of libvirt-guests taking too long to suspend the VMs. So I disabled
libvirt-guests and stopped it.
I suspended and the system hung. had to hard poweroff by the power button.
So I got in, applied all updates, got everything set up and suspended in
preparation to heading to the airport. It locked up.
Restarted and suspended with NOTHING running. Well nothing obvious!
And it did the immediate restart and had to suspend again.
I am now sitting in the Delta lounge, restarting everything. This is
the one week that I cannot afford this behavior, as I will be suspending
MANY times a day at my conference...
any pointers?
thanks

Thanks for your quick reply and for making Fedora an operating system
that I really like to use!
Although I see your point about not wanting to change the user
experience, I think it would be good to make a an up-to-date version of
the package available -- especially since some people haven't quite come
to terms with Flatpaks.
I also noticed there is a COPR available [1], but I really prefer to use
only the official package repositories.
Best regards!

Touchpad right/middle click?
by Christopher
I noticed today that F28 Gnome 3 doesn't seem to support right or middle
click on my multi-touch area touchpad (standard Dell touchpad) on Wayland
or Xorg.
I've read that this is related to libinput, but for all the discussions
I've found on various forums, I've yet to find a solution. Usually I use a
mouse, so I haven't noticed before, but this is hugely inconvenient not to
have right or middle click. When did this break in Fedora? I know it used
to work fine.
Had anybody found a reliable solution to restore full touchpad
functionality?

Can't change sddm login screen
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I believe I have used
System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Login Screen (SDDM)
correctly. I
* set the theme to Breeze
* click on Background
* click on the green image
* choose a local file
* click Apply
The green box is replaced by a thumbnail of my chosen image.
However there is on effect on the login screen and when I start over
at
System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Login Screen (SDDM)
the image is gone and the green box has reappeared.
What's (not) happening? Maybe a missing configuration directory?
No easy to find error messages.
Thanks - jon

Gajim
by eqie＠mailbox.org
Dear All,
according to [1], only an old version of Gajim is available in the
standard repositories for F27 as well as F28.
So I was wondering, why that's the case and also weather there are any
plans to make a more recent version of Gajim available to the users of
Fedora.
Best regards!

Suspend working?
by Robert Moskowitz
Lost the thread on this suspend problem. Tried to find it, so I started
anew....
So far the 4.17.7 kernel is working. I did a lot of suspends as I
opened each new app. Then I let things run for 1/2 a day. This latest
suspend did that double thing, with the system coming right out of
suspend and having to unlock and then suspend. Don't remember that
happening other than the first suspend after poweron (which it did).
But so far things are working. I will try a suspend tomorrow and see.
Normally at home the only time I suspend is friday late afternoon to
have everything in the office 'off' until Saturday night. Not like at a
conference where I suspend my system a dozen times per day.
So I will keep a watch and see.
Fun!
Not :(

F28 Workstation fresh installation on HP Elitebook 8540w Laptop:
internal keyboard does not work
by Stavros Cassidis
I just installed Fedora 28 Workstation on my HP EliteBook 8540w laptop and it seems to work fine except the fact that the Laptop's Keyboard seems to be inactive (deactivated/disabled?). External keyboard works just fine.
The problem occured at the first boot (Gnome initial setup). I had to use an rxternal keyboard to finish the setup. Checked the settings. Didn't find something to lead me to a solution or an explanation.
I wonder if anyone has encountered that or has any idea where to look for a solution.
(the HW is OK: all other OSes, including Fedora 27 have no issue with the keyboard)

I have an SE Linux alert that won't go away
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have an SE Linux alert that keeps coming back and back.
# ausearch -c 'geoclue' --raw | audit2allow -M my-geoclue
# semodule -X 300 -i my-geoclue.pp
Gets rid of it for a day.
And I know that geoclue has issues at the moment:
Unable to connect to GeoClue. Unable to get location from provider.
#318
https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/318#issuecomment-401908696
Redshift cannot get location:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585970
Any words of Wisdom?
Many thanks,
-T
SELinux is preventing geoclue from getattr access on the file
/proc/<pid>/cgroup.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
**************************
If you believe that geoclue should be allowed getattr access on the
cgroup file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'geoclue' --raw | audit2allow -M my-geoclue
# semodule -X 300 -i my-geoclue.pp
