windows10 disk not showing up
by Neal Becker
Today my wife's windows10 lenovo laptop was not starting normally, cycling through various "repair" screens. It does seem to work at least
minimally though.
I tried booting of my f32 usb stick and thought maybe I could take a look at the SSD. But when I start gnome disks, the internal SSD doesn't
show up! lsblk doesn't show it. I looked through journalctl and saw some reference to ATA1, and I believe some kind of error.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? The SSD is working enough to boot windows and run various things like file manager, so why doesn't it
show in linux?

F32 Upgrade From F31 Produces Never Seen Before Error Message in
Gnome on Xorg and Possibly also KDE.
by Stephen Morris
HI,
I have a config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to start up DM's on
Xorg in 4K monitor resolution, as in F31 both Xorg and Wayland would
start up in 800x600 resolution and I would then have to minimize then
maximize the VM window for the DM to switch into 4K resolution as I
desired. After upgrading from F31 to F32 (there were lots of issues with
the upgrade that I will detail in other threads), when the Gnome on Xorg
DM starts up (I am using Virtualbox on Wndows 10) I get a message at the
top of the DM screen specifying 'VBOxClient: Failed to Register Resizing
Support'. What exactly does this message mean?
Looking at dmesg I also get lots of the following messages:

Lately all my bug reports tend to go like this. Are others having the
same experience? I have been using Fedora a long time, and part of
the pleasure was I could contribute to making the distro better. Now
it seems to have reduced to "wait until it fixes itself", how is that
any different from Windows/Mac? It's very disappointing to see the
community aspect of Fedora go down this way while the OS has improved
by so much compared to when I started using Fedora.

fedora 32 live DVD crashes
by Michael Hennebry
I've trying to run Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso
on my HP Compac dc5800 Small Form Factor.
It kernel panics with the message that it attempted to kill init
or that it attempted to kill the idle task.
In the former case, it gives exit code 0x00000009.
For several months,
I've been running Centos 7 with no difficulty in booting,
except for needing acpi=off .
I've needed that on every computer I've ever owned.
I know roughly what it means,
but have no idea why it would matter.
The live DVD, including Troubleshoot, crashes with or without acpi=off .
How do I boot?

Re: Restart F32 WiFi on ThinkPad P72

Bringing this back to the list. The message I'm replying to was too
large for the list, so he sent it directly to me.

It's actually quite easy. If you run "systemctl -b" just like that, it
pipes the output to "less" for you to use. In there, you can press the
"/" key and enter the text you want to search for. You can type "1G" to
go to the top and "G" to go to the bottom. See the man page for details.

That's not really useful. I was trying to get the info from the wifi
device being initialized.

That's not normal. Normally you can have both ethernet and wifi
connected at the same time. But for some reason, your laptop has a
physical wifi disable when the ethernet cable is plugged in.

It's the connection that you saw is managed, not the device. What do
"nmcli d" and "nmcli d show wlan0" give?

Ok, so that confirms that it really is a hardware switch connected to
the ethernet port. I've never seen that before, it's really weird.

f31 :: sd card not accesible
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! I have a very strange situaion with a sandisk extreme sd card:
while in windows i can use it just fine in f31 i have the following:
lsblk shows :
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0 179:0 0 59.5G 0 disk
dmesg says:
[ 641.162507] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 0 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0
[ 641.367806] Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk0, logical block 0, async page read
[ 641.367869] ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.
and trying to make a part table:
parted -s -a optimal /dev/mmcblk0 mklabel msdos
Error: Input/output error during read on /dev/mmcblk0
Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/mmcblk0
so, anyone any idea what is going on? seriosly, linux cannot do what windows can???
Thank you!

Restart F32 WiFi on ThinkPad P72
by Robert G (Doc) Savage
After closing the lid on my P72 laptop last week and moving it to the
livig room, I could not resume F32 when I raised the lid. I had to hard
power cycle it, and after bootup I was unable to connect to my WiFi
router. The router is fine, and WiFi works fine in the dual-booted
Windows 10. But I can't figure out how to kick start my WiFi
connection. I have restarted the P72 multiple times, with no success.
The copper Ethernet connection works fine.
Any suggestions how to kickstart it? When I try ifup I get this:
# ifup ATTxxxxxxxxError: Connection activation failed: No suitable
device found for this connection (device lo not available because
device is strictly unmanaged).

Looking for a .so
by Geoffrey Leach
I have a build that references '-lz'. This fails, because gcc expects
to find libz.so in the library search path. The package that installs
zlib, zlib-1.2.11-21.fc32.x86_64 does not create a symlink from
libz.so.1.2.11
So, is this a bug in the package, or am I missing something? This
package is not the only one that fails to make such a link.

create fedora live
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
How can I create a Fedora live from the previously downloaded iso file
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso ?
Before it was easy.
It seems that with Fedora Media writer, I first need to re-download the
image.
Thanks
