F30 Lenovo x140e - no wifi
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

I have been using ethernet up to now. I went to enable the wifi, to see no wifi listed. It has been too long since I have had to do this troubleshooting. Can some point me to what I need to look at to find what the Fedora thinks is the wifi? thanks

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hello, I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled nautilus. I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker and its things And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes.. Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment. Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

F30: latest kernel no external monitor
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Hello, executed "dnf update" after about 15 days of inactivity. Updates has brought in kernel 5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64 But after reboot the system is not able to detect (in the sense of no monitor connection at all seen) when connecting a 24" Dell monitor using an usb-c to hdmi adapter on my laptop and then connecting an HDMI-to-dvi cable to the monitor, that I normally used before. Tried to reboot two times without effect. As soon as I restart with previous kernel 5.1.20-300.fc30.x86_64, external monitor detection and usage is ok again. This is in default Gnome environment and Wayland. Eg in gnome terminal I have: $ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type Type=wayland and $ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY wayland-0 Anyone else with similar problems? If you point me on how to get related log lines in journal in both working and not working configurations, I can get more info. Seen on several threads that with Xwayland and gnome-shell not so easy to see startup log files... Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Notifications
by Danishka Navin 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hi, Imagine no user logged in to neither GUI nor CLI but a background service is running. Is it possible to send a notification to GUI after completion of the processing running on the background? I have checked notify-send but could not find such a specific example. Thanks in advance. Regards, -- Danishka Navin

grub regression in f30
by François Patte 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Bonjour, I have an nvidia graphic card and since at least f27 I had a high resolution (1280x1024) on the console screen during the boot. This is no more the case in f30. Why? I use the nvidia driver from rpm-fusion, nouveau does not work with my card. Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

pip and python version
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

I am getting dreadful warnings about my version of python when I run pip. So I asked about this with the developers of the script I use (xml2rfc). I bit of version testing and: $ pip --version pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7) $ pip2 --version pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7) $ pip3 --version pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7) and $ ls -ls /usr/bin/pip* 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2 -> ./pip-2.7 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2.7 -> ./pip2.7 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2.7 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3 -> ./pip-3.7 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3.7 -> ./pip3.7 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3.7 24 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 22816 Jun 19 10:44 /usr/bin/pipewire so pip does not seem to be a symlink to pip2, but perhaps just a copy? I suspect I will still be running F30 come Jan 2020 when Python 2.7 gets the axe: DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7. Do I need to do anything, or will this be self-correcting come the new year? thanks

General protection fault involving flash
by Andre Robatino 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

The Citi.com credit card website allows generating virtual card numbers, but unfortunately they're using flash in that part of the site. When I try to use it in F30, on one particular machine (it's hardware-specific), in GNOME (it doesn't happen in MATE), the Firefox tab crashes and I get a general protection fault, for example [88812.835817] traps: Web Content[2532] general protection fault ip:7f94ee0d0adb sp:7ffedd6a3140 error:0 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f94ee0aa000+8e000] Since flash is involved, it's not clear whether this is the fault of Fedora or flash. This has been happening for around half a year, so flash has been updated several times. It also happened with F29. Anyone know how to narrow down where the issue is?
