Few seconds Freeze in KDE Plasma since F30
by Frédéric 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hi, Since I moved to F30, I get some plasma freeze from time to time. It freezes just for a few seconds (3-5 s) and only the mouse can still be moved (clicking does not work). Last time, I had a top open and there was nothing more than 5% (Xorg). Any idea? Thanks, F

NeuroFedora is looking for a Spin/Labs master
by Ankur Sinha 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Hello, (Please get in touch via the NeuroFedora channels) We now have enough software in NeuroFedora to create Comps groups and think of a Spin/Lab. Would anyone like to join the NeuroFedora team as our Spin master? We have two sessions at Flock too. So if you are going, please attend them to learn more: Talk: NeuroFedora: FOSS and Open Science https://flock2019.sched.com/event/S5mC/neurofedora-foss-and-open-neuroscien… Hackathon: Fedora and the future of Free Science: https://flock2019.sched.com/event/SKrW/fedora-and-the-future-of-free-science FAQ --- 1. What is NeuroFedora? Essentially, it's a set of packages just like any other Fedora packages. The only difference is that these packages/software are all related to Neuroscience. This includes modelling, imaging, data analytics, and anything else that anyone interested in Neuroscience may use. 2. Why NeuroFedora? Because FOSS and Open Science go hand in hand, we've come together to provide a ready to use Fedora based platform for neuroscience users. Instead of spending time setting up their systems, installing software, we want to provide them with an installable ISO image. 3. What skills do I need to be Spin master? None at all. Spin creation simply requires knowledge of the Fedora Spin process and all of it is very well documented. Whatever skills you need can be learned "on the job". The NeuroFedora team has quite a few contributors that have been around for a while and can show you the ropes. 4. Where can I learn more about NeuroFedora? All our links are listed here in our documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/communicating/ 5. Is there anything else I can do? Where do we even begin!? So much! Have a look here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/contributing/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Final on enlarging swap - I really needed more memory
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Just felt I should post a wrap up on my swap increase journey. All last week I ran with 4GB real memory and a total of 8GB swap. I was using all the real memory and pretty much 4GB of swap with poor performance. What was going on? With Fedora 28 I was running fairly well with 4GB, or was I? Plus I upgraded from a 2 core x120e to a 4 core x140e and I thought things would be better. So this morning I pulled a 4GB card out of another x140e I have that is currently off. Free is reporting: $ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7416056 3609248 860448 354948 2946360 3158088 Swap: 3419132 0 3419132 and performance is just fine. So I was suffering with only 4GB of real memory. Perhaps F30 needs more than F28 or 4 core is just having more things going and needs more memory. Anyway, going to have to pop for the $20 for a 4GB card to put into the system that is sitting with no memory.... Thanks for the help on adding a swap file. I have recorded that in my instructions file for any future need.

setools-console-analyses package
by Aristeidis Dimitriadis 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Hello, I believe there is an error in the packaging of setools-console-analyses which results in one of the tools being unusable. I am close to submitting a bug report but I would like someone to have a look first in case I am doing something wrong. Using up-to-date Fedora 30. The tool of interest in sedta which performs "Domain transition analysis for SELinux policies" (from the manpage). Running this tool results in this: $ sedta -s <some domain> -p <some policy file> 'DiGraph' object has no attribute 'edges_iter' This is a Python error and seems related to the networkx Python library which is listed as a requirement. No version requirements for this library are displayed by rpm. Installed version (by dnf) is 2.3. However, there is this guide : https://networkx.github.io/documentation/stable/release/migration_guide_fro… where it is clearly stated that the "edges_iter" API is removed in version 2.0. The upstream SELinux tools project which I believe is here : https://github.com/SELinuxProject/setools does not use the "edges_iter" API (I grep-ed for it). My guess is that networkx was updated but setools-console-analyses was not and now is trying to use an incompatible library version. No simillar issues appear on bugzilla. Should I create one? Also, is there a way to report a bug without creating a bugzilla/fedora account? Aristeidis Dimitriadis

Fool mouse with minecraft
by Frédéric 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Hi, I'm using F30 with KDE Plasma. I also use the nvidia proprietary drivers from rpmfusion so that my children can play minecraft with high enough fps. One thing they complain about is a strange behavior of the mouse when they play minecraft. I mean that the mouse sometimes (very often) moves suddenly in unpredictable direction. Has anyone experienced such issue? I also discovered that there are mouse lags a lot if 2 sessions are open at the same time with switch user (that was true with F29, I did not try since I upgraded to F30 few days ago). I have no clue if this is related. Kind regards, F

I'm only now getting around to upgrading my oldest computer (a System76 netbook from before HDMI and the one I use least) from F29 to F30. It's working on 3131 packages!
