dhcp client sometimes fails?
by Tom Horsley 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

I'm using network, not NetworkManager. I've got a bridge set up with my (one and only) ethernet point connected to it. I'm running fedora 31. Randomly, when I reboot the system to get a new kernel or something, dhcp will fail to assign an IP address to the bridge. I'll reboot again and it will be OK (I have also been able to do an ifdown/ifup to get an IP addr). I once found a web page that said STP (spanning tree protocol) slowed things way down, and with my config I can't possibly have any loops, so I disable STP. That did indeed make network startup far more reliable, but it still sometimes fails. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there some magic I can perform to make it reliable? I don't have this problem when configured with a static IP, but they were redoing a lot of network infrastructure and recommended everyone switch to dhcp. It also seemed very reliable before I created the bridge (but I need the bridge to run virtual machines). Working from home, I've now become paranoid about installing updates that need a reboot for fear I won't be able to get to the machine again because the network never comes back up. Maybe I should install a script in rc.local that checks to see if an IP address was defined, and reboots again if not :-).

unusual display problem
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

[the images will be posted as replies due to size limits] For a while now I have the following problem. After boot and login things look OK, however moving any window shows terrible artifacts. Here is an example using xterm. 20200402_093920.jpg I open a small xterm Looks OK. 20200402_100028.jpg I do a reverse search: ^Rls -l At this point the whole line is filled with a repeated quote character. Doing other things will repeat a substring of what the text holds. Hitting 'end' key will show the full text followed by the quotes. Very difficult to work when parts of the text disappear or get mangled. 20200402_094034.jpg Moving on, I grab the window and move it a bit. The whole window is filled with a pattern, here is is just a color pattern. If the window gets repainted it looks OK until I move it again. The only way I found so far to fix it is to restart X, so logout then login, not nice. I am on fc30, fully up-to-date, using the onboard graphics of a 'Gigabyte Z390 UD' with a "Core i7-9700".

How do I install Fedora 31 on LVM on LUKS configuration ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

The current Anaconda installer is unable to install Fedora to an encrypted partition. Is there anyway I can have one big encrypted partition, decrypt it, create a LVM and install Fedora. It seems I can't do that with the current Anaconda. If I have to use encryption and LVM what it does is first create the LVM and then encrypt the logical volumes that I specify. I want just the reverse. More information about the Anaconda bug is here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/ananconda-cant-handle-lvm-on-luks-setup/6112 Thanks.

Burning dual layer Bluray discs
by Richard Shaw 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

Well I just received the new LG burner because my ASUS was acting up (not ejecting properly and other issues). Also, I was NEVER able to burn dual layer Bluray discs with the ASUS even though it was supposed to. I tried everything, including REAL cdrecord (compiled myself), but the burn would always fail when switching layers. Since the drive had an issue and I had to spend some $$$, it was time to try again with the new LG WH14NS40. I first tried backing up my pictures (~40GB), with xfburn because I wanted to use libburn as the fork of the cdrecord apps are known to have issues. Not sure what the problem was but after spinning up a bunch of times it just crapped out with an unhelpful error. Next I tried Brasero, which also failed miserably. Finally I tried k3b which used mkisofs and it actually worked! Switched layers fine, finished, and verified. For posterity I specified a UDF based filesystem. Googling I see so little useful information about burning dual layer Bluray discs on Linux I figured I'd mention it here for anyone else interested. Thanks, Richard

Anyone have luck with Folding@Home and OpenCL on AMD RX580?
by Richard Shaw 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

I recently setup Folding@Home on my Fedora 31 box and have it running on the CPU no problem but the package is not without issues... It installs a SysV init script which SystemD generates a service file from it, but fahclient runs as the fahclient user but AFAICT SystemD doesn't know that, which I've read can cause problems with accessing the GPU. So I went ahead and wrote a SystemD service file for fahclient, but no luck. I've also added fahclient to the video group, nope... I've installed the packages I think I need from AMD (which are really EL 8 packages) but they all install into /opt so my current theory is that FAH isn't finding the libraries... Current OpenCL error is: OpenCL: Not Detected: clGetDeviceIDs() returned -1 Anyone successfully got this working?

I went ahead and joined the FedoraFolders team so it would get credit for my units but the homepage link is bad. Anyone know if they're still active? https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/37988 Thanks, Richard

PCManFM??
by Beartooth 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

Is PCManFM compatible with Fedora Mate & Compiz? A friend who runs Ubuntu recommends it. (Fwiw, I tried hard to get used to Gnome3, a couple times, and couldn't do it.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.
