Today I was doing a dnf update and had a few things being updated and new kernel installed. Right when it was past cleanup messages and you are waiting for the complete message, I lost power and for some reason the system did a shutdown. Got that little active image Fedora shows during a shutdown. The system restarted ok. How do I find out what the state is? What might still need to be done? When I grep for 'kernel' in /var/log/dnf.log I get: Mar 30 12:38:22 SUBDEBUG drpm: spawned 19063: /usr/bin/applydeltarpm -a x86_64 /var/cache/dnf/updates-c4f1c95f64c2b794/packages/kernel-headers-4.9.13-101.fc24_4.9.17-100.fc24.x86_64.drpm /var/cache/dnf/updates-c4f1c95f64c2b794/packages/kernel-headers-4.9.17-100.fc24.x86_64.rpm And the last install for kernel was: Mar 30 12:38:03 DEBUG ---> Package kernel-modules.x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 will be erased kernel x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 80 k kernel-core x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 20 M kernel-debug-core x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 21 M kernel-debug-modules x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 23 M kernel-debug-modules-extra x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 2.3 M kernel-modules x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 22 M kernel-headers x86_64 4.9.17-100.fc24 updates 1.1 M kernel x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 0 kernel-core x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 53 M kernel-debug-core x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 55 M kernel-debug-modules x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 22 M kernel-debug-modules-extra x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 2.1 M kernel-modules x86_64 4.9.9-100.fc24 @updates 22 M How do I check this out? thanks.

BackupPC 4.1.0 testing needed - Any BackupPC users on the group?

by Richard Shaw

I have taken over maintenance of the BackupPC package and have made the update to 4.1.0 available through COPR[1] for now for a couple of reasons: 1. It's a huge change, hardlinks are no longer used for deduplication, but v4 can read v3 backups. 2. Some of the settings in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl were tweaked and need manual attention after the upgrade. See https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#BackupPC-4.0 for details. The plan is to update f26 and rawhide to v4 and leave f25 and EPEL alone. Those that want to update to v4 can use the COPR. Thanks, Richard [1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/

Restoring a QEMU snapshot

vmware-tray received an X Window System error

by Dominik Kucher

Is that a bug? i have installed today the update to 12.5.5 The program 'vmware-tray' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'. (Details: serial 2374408 error_code 141 request_code 138 minor_code 7) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) -- Dominik Kucher

monitor restarting (from sleep) issue on F25, HP Envy

by Matt Morgan

I just bought an HP Envy and installed F25 over the weekend. I have a few problems I did not have on the Dell XPS 13 it replaced. First, upon resuming from sleep, my external monitor doesn't wake up. The monitor says it's getting no input from the PC, and the Displays settings app doesn't show a second monitor. The only differences from before are a) the XPS 13 had a mini-displayport, and this one is HDMI b) this is a fresh install of F25, where the old computer was upgraded probably from F22. What can I do, any suggestions? Right now only rebooting seems to work. Thanks, Matt

F25: Desktop PC not booting without a screen

by Eigeldinger Simon

Hi all, I am Simon and I am blind. I tried to boot a Fedora Workstation 25 live USB without a screen attached to a desktop machine. It seems the machine doesn't boot completely at least hanging while the desktop should come up. On the arch wiki i read something about x server and its autoconfig mode where it detects the screen and if no screen is present it stops starting the desktop which makes the PC hang. According to the wayland mailing list this also happens with wayland though wayland supports screenless booting. which needs to be specified in the wayland adapter for gnome. Anyone maybe knows more about that? I thought of using Fedora on a project i have in my mind. Having a small PC without a screen in the kitchen would be pretty interesting. navigation is done using a keyboard and knowing where we are is done using the orca screen reader and speakers. Attaching a screen would be the last thing i want to do.

Weird crashes and slowdowns

by Susi Lehtola

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed weird things happening on their Intel laptops. My Lenovo U31-70 has been misbehaving for a long long time under Fedora. Firefox and/or X often slow to a crawl, and sometimes X even crashes. I'm wondering if this is due to a buggy video driver. Some relevant info $ uname -r 4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64 $ uptime 12:11:54 up 6 days, 22:55, 1 user, load average: 1.11, 0.98, 0.87 $ ps aux|grep Xorg 1241 root 20 0 10.160g 4.014g 159388 S 1.1 52.1 648:10.37 Xorg $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP USB xHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP MEI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev e3) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev e3) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev e3) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP USB EHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP LPC Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP SATA Controller [AHCI Mode] (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP SMBus Controller (rev 03) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

arrow in the file/explorer window

by bruce

Hey guys... Just noticed, in looking through the dialog for some dirs, I see a curved arrow in some of the folder icons. This appears to indicate previous versions of things like jre/jdk. Is this correct? Can't seem to find anything in SO on this.. Thanks
