Fedora 32 + nVidia graphic artifacts on resume
by Sanne Grinovero
Hello all,
after resuming from standby, many applications seem to omit repainting
or refreshing areas of the screen.
The system seems stable overall: applications keep running correctly,
but I can't see important areas on the screen.
For example, I might be able to open my email inbox, but then I can't
archive an email as the area where the control buttons are supposed to
be is entirely white (or black, in other applications).
Or, someone pings me on IM - I can see the text but I can't reply as
the reply area isn't there... you get the idea, it's annoying :)
I've seen this happening both when using Gnome and when using i3.
Since I'm running the nvidia proprietary drivers I'm assuming this is
not related with Wayland, more likely some optimisation of the nvidia
driver or how it integrates with X ?
Would anyone have a suggestion as to how to debug this further, or a
possible workaround?
Maybe some nvidia driver option I could pass on the kernel, or in the
X config file?
I'd highly appreciate solving this, as it's my primary development
machine: having to close all applications for frequent reboots has
become very inconvenient.
Unfortunately I can't easily roll back some update: I had this problem
for many weeks, as initially I dismissed it as "just a glitch"; I had
not paid enough attention to it and hadn't noticed that it was related
to resuming from standby.
This is what I'm running today:
- linux 5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64
- nvidia 450.66
Thanks!

GDAL Code Dump
by Clifford Snow
I'm getting a core dump using any of the gdal utilities on F32. For example
running orginfo --help returns
Usage: ogrinfo [--help-general] [-ro] [-q] [-where
restricted_where|@filename]
[-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-geomfield field] [-fid fid]
[-sql statement|@filename] [-dialect sql_dialect] [-al]
[-rl] [-so] [-fields={YES/NO}]
[-geom={YES/NO/SUMMARY}] [[-oo NAME=VALUE] ...]

[-nocount] [-noextent] [-wkt_format WKT1|WKT2|...]
datasource_name [layer [layer ...]]
free(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)
I tried reinstalling all components but still have the same problem.
Bugzilla doesn't show any open bugs. Is anyone else experiencing problems
with GDAL?
Thanks,
Clifford

dnfdragora not making all updates available
by Temlakos
Everyone:
The reform of dnfdragora to put all available updates into groups is not
updating everything, and not updating many things it used to update
without fail.
The only reliable thing my system will update, are applications and
various desktop relevant things. And not all applications, either.
Basically, if it is not in a group, dnfdragora will not update it and I
have to fall back on the traditional Software Management application to
do these updates.
The following packages typically fail of update and even of selection on
dnfdragora:
* The kernel and related packages.
* Browsers other than Firefox.
* Application packages from repositories foreign to the Fedora
community, such as "bunkus.org" (mkvtoolsnix), google (for chrome), and
Adobe Systems Incorporated.
* System packages that run background processes that normally load
themselves at startup and stay resident.
I've checked for all possible settings I can make to solve this problem.
No joy.
I've tried refreshing metadata (which, by the way, takes fifteen minutes
every time). No joy.
I tried selecting "not showing the groups." No joy.
Suggestions?
Have any of you noticed the same issue?
My desktop is KDE.
"Check for updates" counts all packages that need an update. But again:
if they're not in a group, they're not available for a selection.
(Note: if you're going to tell me to report this as a bug, I need to
know exactly where and how. I've filed bugs in the wrong place and they
get no action.)

Well I had tried everything else so I activited the rpm fusion
repository, installled ffmpeg (a HUGE download and install) and it
solved my problem. Videos now work everywhere.
Thanks for the suggestion and I jhope it will solve your problem as well.

Figuring out reason behind java crash on F32 (not on Muck/Windoze)
by Ranjan Maitra
Dear friends,
I have a strange situation that shows up only on F32 (only linux distributions tried) but does not show up on Windoze or Muck. The way to illustrate this is rather complicated, so I will first summarize.
For my introductory students, I use a java-based front-end to R called Deducer. I am able to install without a hitch and even bring it up and run some functions and graphical displays. However, when I ask it to do a few specific functions, the windows all come crashing down. So, my question is: how do I figure out the source of the problem? I have used this program for years, and including last spring under F31, and linux has never been an issue. This has been tried on three F32 machines by me and a former student and all have resulted in crashes. Embarrasingly, these continue to work as expected with Windows and MacOS, though installation, especially for the latter is a pain.
How can I get error messages out of this mishap to file a meaningful and targeted bug report?
Any suggestions?
Ranjan
If you are interested, here is how I go about installing Deducer. I need R-core installed, as well as curl-devel, and of course java. Other fedora packages may also be needed.
sudo dnf install R-devel curl-devel java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
then:
sudo R
install.packages(c('JGR','Deducer'))
q()
Note that the second line will ask for which repo to use, and any are fine, the first one is from rstudio.com. Also, the installation function may ask for more libraries to be installed.
Once installed, go to R and inside R, type:
library(JGR)
library(Deducer)
JGR()
The last function call will open a graphical interface with a jaguar logo (pretty cool). All is well. In the bottom window type:
data(cars)
Then go to the graphical interface above, and under "Plots" -> "Quick" -> "simple boxplot"
This opens a window, and put speed as x variable and run.
A window begins to open and the entire window system running JGR comes crashing down.
Btw, since I know the commands to give in R, on the commandline, when I call the function, things work as expected. It is only on the JGR() window that it crashes.
The worst part? I get no error messages. So, how can I get error messages out of this mishap to file a meaningful and targeted bug report?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress'
by Neal Becker
I guess I had tried to add lz4_compress to kernel install, but must have
done something wrong. Now with every kernel update I get:
Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64
127/127
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress'
dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D
/var/tmp/dracut.mSA6DG/initramfs --kerneldir
/lib/modules/5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64/ -m lz4 lz4_compress
I previously created /etc/dracut.d/lz4.conf:
add_drivers+=" lz4 lz4_compress "
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Neal

keyboard response time
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I guess that there is a way to adjust the response time of the keyboard
when dialing.
It has dramatically increased after I tuned off the PC in suspend mode.
Thanks.
