simple scan no longer prints?
by ToddAndMargo 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hi All, Fedora 30 $ rpm -qa simple-scan simple-scan-3.32.2-2.fc30.x86_64 It looks like I lost my ability to print directly from Simple Scan. Is this a regression or am I missing something? -T

Re: Fedora 29 LXDE, 32bit, Update-Error-Message

I have never done dnf update, but I suspect you are getting this message because the current updates are now installing kernel V5.0.

Boot & Bios Issues
by S. Bob 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hi All; I've managed to install Fedora 30 on a new LG Gram 17 laptop. I had to set acpi=off to get the live cd to boot, then I had to remove the acpi=off and rebuild the EFI grub file so the trackpad would work, subsequent boots without the acpi=off seem to work fine. I am seeing an odd situation when I shutdown & restart: 1) shutdown often takes a long time, I see that stop jobs are running either for packagekit or sometimes "flush journal to persistent storage" 2) sometimes booting up takes a long time , indicating a start job is running - flush journal to persistent storage 3) If I ever do a hard power off then it boots to what seems to be a windows boot manager, showing several options, like this: 1. ATA HDD1: HFS512G39TNF-N3A0A 2. ATA HDD2: CT1000MX500SSD4 3. Windows Boot Manager Then I need to power off again and change the following bios settings, they always get changed when I hard power off: Legacy OS Boot - (Gets set to Disabled, Fedora won't boot unless this is set to Enabled) RTC Wakeup from S4 - (Gets set to Enabled, Fedora won't boot unless this is set to Disabled) SW Guard Extensions (SGX) - (Gets set to Enabled, Fedora won't boot unless this is set to Disabled) Sometimes I need to go into secure boot configuration and choose "Delete All Signatures" If I do a dnf update and get a new kernel then the above process is triggered as well Other than struggling with booting a bit the laptop works great with Fedora. Anyone have any insight on how to fix the above issues? Thanks in advance

Boot VGA modesetting in F30
by Sam Varshavchik 08 May '19

08 May '19

I distinctly remember reading somewhere about boot video mode initialization changes that were going into F30. IIRC, something about a "flicker-free" effort that tries to switch the video mode only once, permanently, during boot, and sticking with the same video mode all the way to the desktop. I updated a system with an Nvidia chipset (an older Nvidia chipset that's natively supported in Xorg without the need for a binary blob) that does not use plymouth, it boots using an old-fashioned system console, until X starts. In F29 its grub menu came up in standard VGA, then the mode quickly changes to 132 column VGA for the duration of the boot, until the regular 1920x1080 desktop. The 132 column VGA apparently is a 1920x1080 bitmap, so I pretty much had a single video mode change, already. After updating to F30, this grub menu comes up unexpectedly in some video mode that looks like a 640x480 VGA mode. The font looks even larger than a normal 80 character font. After selecting the kernel, the boot starts, but only after an unnervingly lengthy delay, I'd say about 5-10 seconds, with a completely blank screen, before it switches to the same 132 column VGA, with the boot proceeding normally. This gave me heart palpitations, briefly, making me believe that the update bricked it. I can't find anything in the release notes or the documentation, about fiddling boot screen modes. Any pointers?

F29-F30 Upgrade With KDE Plasma Desktop Problem
by David Dembrow 07 May '19

07 May '19

I have been using fedora with kde plasma desktop. When I upgraded from fedora 29 to fedora 30 I lost my kde login manager as well as the kde plasma desktop. Is there a way to get my kde plasma desktop (or equivalent) back? The login manager displays a warning message that the plasma desktop is not available and to select a new one or the default will be used, but there is no way to select a desktop from the login display.

Stuff not mounting
by Beartooth 06 May '19

06 May '19

My experience with Fedora (currently still F29) has been that any medium I put into a disk drive or USB slot gets mounted, and an icon of it put onto the desktop -- until now. Suddenly (i.e., over the last couple weeks), when I put a medium into the drawer and close that, nothing visible happens. When I go flailing through sundry menus looking for an app to mount that medium, it usually just claims blank medium or none at all; but, once or twice, it tells me I have to be root. My guess is that what I have loused up this time must be somewhere in the configuration files. I've tried as many of those as I could find, but especially Caja, since I run Mate. Clue, please! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

F29-30 upgrade.
by William Henry 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hi all, Anyone experience this: really easy and smooth upgrade but can’t login? I can see it’s accepting the login (both my userid and root) but it just cycles back to the login screen. Been traveling and haven’t had a chance to try other login methods and sniff around logs to see what’s happening. William Sent from my iPhone
