Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

LUKS on shutdown.
by murph nj 07 Dec '21

I'm having an issue shutting down. Fedora 34, just updated to 35, same problem. (It was around in 33 as well, I've been putting up with it.) I know that there is another list for beta versions, but this issue was there in the current version as well. Somewhere around 1 out of every 10 shutdowns, the system goes down to "[ OK ] Reached target System Shutdown", but then, "[ *** ] a stop job is running for Cryptography setup for luks-<cycle through LUKS volumes>" It typically goes for about 1/2 hour if I don't get fed up, and hold the power button down. I just saw after that 1/2 hour: [Time] Timed out starting System Reboot Forcibly Rebooting: job timed out. audit: type=1334......... I still had to power it off. On reboot, it seems OK. I haven't found anything interesting in /var/log/messages regarding it. Any suggestions to further troubleshooting? Thanks, --murph

Hi All, Fedora 34 mate-desktop-1.26.0-1.fc34.x86_64 When I am in Mate, after a period of activity, I get this annoying lock screen (if that is what it is called). https://ibb.co/5G7Qt73 I have set the screen saver to no lock and turned power and hibernate off. How do I rid myself of this annoyance? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run xsane without root password prompt?
by Tom Horsley 01 Nov '21

I have a network scanner. Every time I start xsane, it thinks a bit, then prompts me for the root password, then finally the xsane windows come up and I can scan. Is there any magic I can do to avoid that root prompt? I can't imagine I have to be root to connect to a network device.

I suggest finding a support group in your native language, which appears to be French. I believe someone already suggested one. Otherwise, maybe try directly using Google Translate. I appreciate your attempt to write in English, but I'm pretty sure at this point, Google Translate would produce a more understandable result. Maybe even write your question in French with the translated result as well.

Hi! I'm trying to create a report with powertop but i get a segmentation fault: [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". [Detaching after vfork from child process 172544] modprobe cpufreq_stats failed[Detaching after vfork from child process 172546] Loaded 0 prior measurements RAPL device for cpu 0 RAPL Using PowerCap Sysfs : Domain Mask 5 RAPL device for cpu 0 RAPL Using PowerCap Sysfs : Domain Mask 5 Devfreq not enabled glob returned GLOB_ABORTED Preparing to take measurements Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::_M_set_length (__n=0, this=0x5555559cdd58) at /usr/include/c++/11/bits/basic_string.h:217 warning: Source file is more recent than executable. 217 void which is strange and i can understand at all .. Of course this is the lastest powertop: powertop-2.14-1.fc34.x86_64 powertop-debugsource-2.14-1.fc34.x86_64 powertop-debuginfo-2.14-1.fc34.x86_64 Does anyone have any idea on this? Thank you! Adrian
