Laptop and only 100% and 200% monitor scaling shown
by Gianluca Cecchi 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hello, having a new 13.3" laptop with resolution of 1920x1080 and Fedora 30, I see that Gnome only gives me option of 100% scaling (that renders with too small fonts ans duch in my opinion) and 200% (that instead appears as too big). The laptop is dual boot and I see that the Windows 10 set by default 125% scaling after installation Searching around I only found at the moment an Ubuntu related thread here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029436/enable-fractional-scaling-for-ubunt… and what I have tried and works (after reboot) is the suggested gsetting command gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" And this if I understand implies to continue to use Wayland... Any better experience if using XOrg in Fedora 30 with these kind of displays resolutions and dimensions? Any other options? Thanks, Gianluca

NetworkManager not there after upgrade to fedora 30
by Emmett Culley 13 May '19

13 May '19

NetworkManager seems to have disappeared when I updated to Fedora 30. Not only didn't my network start on reboot after upgrade, there is no NetworkManager.service to enable or start with systemctl. Running dnf list NetworkManager replies: Last metadata expiration check: 0:16:45 ago on Sun 12 May 2019 08:02:12 AM PDT. Error: No matching Packages to list Running dnf list NetworkManager* returns: Installed Packages NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora.noarch 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 @fedora NetworkManager-libnm.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 @fedora Available Packages NetworkManager-adsl.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-bluetooth.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-config-server.noarch 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-dispatcher-routing-rules.noarch 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-fortisslvpn.x86_64 1.2.10-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-fortisslvpn-gnome.x86_64 1.2.10-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-iodine.x86_64 1.2.0-8.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-iodine-gnome.x86_64 1.2.0-8.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-l2tp.x86_64 1.2.12-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome.x86_64 1.2.12-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-libnm.i686 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-libnm-devel.i686 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-libnm-devel.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-libreswan.x86_64 1.2.10-1.fc30.1 fedora NetworkManager-libreswan-gnome.x86_64 1.2.10-1.fc30.1 fedora NetworkManager-openconnect.x86_64 1.2.4-11.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome.x86_64 1.2.4-11.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-openvpn.x86_64 1:1.8.10-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome.x86_64 1:1.8.10-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-ovs.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-ppp.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-pptp.x86_64 1:1.2.8-1.fc30.1 fedora NetworkManager-pptp-gnome.x86_64 1:1.2.8-1.fc30.1 fedora NetworkManager-ssh.x86_64 1.2.9-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-ssh-gnome.x86_64 1.2.9-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-sstp.x86_64 1:1.2.6-3.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-sstp-gnome.x86_64 1:1.2.6-3.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-strongswan.x86_64 1.4.4-2.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-strongswan-gnome.x86_64 1.4.4-2.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-team.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-tui.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-vpnc.x86_64 1:1.2.6-2.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome.x86_64 1:1.2.6-2.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-wifi.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora NetworkManager-wwan.x86_64 1:1.16.0-1.fc30 fedora So what to I install to get Network manager back. I've managed to get my network functional by using network scripts and systemctl start network, But I would like to be able to select also connect to a wireless network. What am I missing? Note that running nm-coonnection-editor give me a network manager dialog, but none of the fields are enabled. Emmett

firewalld - what needs to be added?
by Ed Greshko 13 May '19

13 May '19

OK, firewall rules aren't in my wheelhouse. I've got an IPv6 network with a /56 prefix assigned to me by my ISP. This, I understand, is rather large and it breaks some functionality. It is meant that this be broken up into 256 /64 networks or smaller. On my ISP facing router the LAN has a /64 segment defined and all systems on the same LAN work just fine. I created a static route to a host with 2 LAN interfaces. It can be reached by using either IP address. I have made these additions net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1 net.ipv6.conf.all.proxy_ndp = 1 to a config file in /etc/sysctl.d However in order to reach that second system from the internet I need to disable the firewall on the first. Otherwise I get.... May 12 18:47:59 f30-k kernel: FINAL_REJECT: IN=enp0s3 OUT=enp0s8 MAC=08:00:27:62:b8:24:00:11:32:76:13:a8:86:dd SRC=2001:0470:0066:0cce:0000:0000:0000:0002 DST=2001:b030:112f:0001:0000:0000:0000:0010 LEN=80 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=49 FLOWLBL=875364 PROTO=TCP SPT=54428 DPT=22 WINDOW=65320 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 So, I'm sure I need to add a "rich rule" or something to the firewall but I've no idea what it should be. :-( -- Right: I dislike the default color scheme Wrong: What idiot picked the default color scheme

Curious sshd log messages about kex exchange
by Tom Horsley 12 May '19

12 May '19

Any theories about the origin of these messages on my home system? I suspect it has something to do with my system at work trying to ssh into my system at home while my system at home is in the process of rebooting. At least that seems to be the time frame they show up. If my home system is completely up and running and I force my work system to reconnect, these messages don't come out. May 12 11:34:08 zooty sshd[7412]: error: kex_exchange_identification: banner line contains invalid characters ...repeat a few times... I'm running fedora 30 on both of them, so presumably the ssh is compatible with itself :-).

Upgrade to F30 on Dell Precision T1700 goes into emergency mode
by Ranjan Maitra 12 May '19

12 May '19

Hi, After a three successful upgrades to F30 from F29 under my belt, a cocky me has been floored. Everything went through fine (or so it seemed) using dnf upgrade --releasever 30 but I ended with, upon reboot: You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to boot into default mode. Give root password for maintenance. (or press Control-D to continue): One problem is that I do not have a root password. I have actually gone in using a livecd and the devices (1 ext4 and 2 xfs) appear to be clean. Any suggestions on how to proceed. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Modem/Router/Router -
by Bob Goodwin 11 May '19

11 May '19

. I have a new problem with my internet connection which a few others on this list may have encountered. They [Viasat] replaced the modem and antenna in upgrading the system. The new modem has an integral router having none of the feature I need to manage data usage, I've already used more than 80% of my allowance in the first week. I normally use a router with DD-WRT installed providing the features I need, showing the amount of data used and which devices used it. The problem is feeding their router data through my DD-WRT router. An ethernet port is provided which they claim work but provide no information for doing so. They sent a "technician" a few days ago and he knew nothing more about it than I do except he assured me it should work but did not know how to set up both routers, tried what he could for an hour and said if you can't make it work and call for help, tell them to send someone else ... Yesterday I tried with my router set up on a different subnet and seemingly working until in one of many equipment reboots their router assigned my nfs server a new address, of course all I knew was it would not mount until I connected a display and keyboard this morning, Now I made theaddresspermanentusing network manager. Before this the modems provided an ethernet port to which a wifi router was connected and connecting to that was straight forward. Certainly I am not the first one to see this problem, feeding data from the ISP router to another one, and my hope is that someone can point me in the right direction if not offer a solution. Google searches have not led to a solution. Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box83 FEDORA-29/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Updated F29 kernel and grub went bye bye
by Ranbir 11 May '19

11 May '19

Hi Everyone, I started an update of my F29 system today. Everything seemed to be going fine until the system locked up. I waited for a few minutes and then, hesitantly, I power cycled the computer. Sure enough, the boot didn't start and instead dropped into the grub shell. :/ I managed to manually boot Fedora. I reviewed the dnf history to see which packages were getting upgraded. I ended up redoing the entire operation, rewrote the grub2 config for good measure and rebooted: the same problem occurred again. Drat! Once the desktop was running again, I decided to only reinstall the kernel packages that were upgraded. That's when I saw this: Running transaction Preparing : 1/1 Reinstalling : kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 1/2 Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 1/2 Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 2/2 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries. Not writing out new config. I must have missed those errors when I redid the update earlier. What I've found online so far doesn't reference F29 so I'm not sure what I can do to fix the problem. I did find the following two broken symlinks: [ranbir@master ~]$ ls -l /etc/grub* lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 Oct 4 2018 /etc/grub2.cfg -> ../boot/grub2/grub.cfg lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 Oct 4 2018 /etc/grub2-efi.cfg -> ../boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg I don't know if they're supposed to be broken or not. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix my now broken grub config? -- Ranbir

I just upgraded one of my computers from Fedora 29 to 30 and after that grub doesn't work any more as it should. Now when I boot up I get briefly the following message Booting from Hard Disk... . error: ../../grub-core/kern/misc.c:465:unrecognized number. then it boots the default kernel. I was expecting the grub menu. Anybody knows what's going on? Cheers Robin
