issues with F27
by Paolo Galtieri
I have F27 running on a couple of systems. On one of them I have
encountered the following 2 issues.
1) System crashes with "System not configured for semaphores". This
error results in the system halting. It has occurred several times over
the last few months.
2) I have a Linksys AE1200 wireless adapter. Every time I reboot my
system this device does not come up. I have to unplug it and plug it
back in before the system sees it and configures it.
Both issues have occurred on different kernels over the last few
months. I also happen to have a Linksys AE1000 plugged into the same
system and it comes up every time.
I updated to the AE1000 because I started experiencing problems where my
internet connection would go away even though I was still connected to
the cable modem via wireless. I thought I was having problems with the
wireless adapter so I bought a new one. This has not solved the problem
completely, but it has reduced the problem considerably.
Any ideas on what might be causing these issues?
Any help is appreciated.
Paolo

Clean Install of F29 problems
by ja
I have made a clean installed of F29 onto a small SSD
and had a few problems which may be of interest.
1. It was necessary to separately dd and recreate the required
partitions using gdisk to get the installer to accept a custom layout.
The installer would not let me use the existing partitions.
2. A fatal dnf error during installation of tex-fonts-hebrew rpm
required a complete start from scratch avoiding this particular rpm.
(Another 2.5GB download)
3. I have been using _dnf_local and a local F29 repo for several releases
Having set things up as previously the two repos give these errors.
Any hints as to what I have missed with the repos
would be very useful.
[root@paxos:~]$ dnf install nedit
Local ja Fedora 29 x86_64 Updates
_dnf_local

Package nedit-5.7-5.fc29.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Is tracer working?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Since upgrading to F29 a couple of days ago I've continued my usual
routine of running 'dnf update' every morning. However in contrast to
what always happened with F28 (and earlier), I never get any feedback
about restarting services or running apps, even when I know that
something that is currently running has been changed. I have the
dnf.plugin.tracer package installed. I've also run 'sudo tracer'
directly, with no result.
Has anyone else seen strange behaviour from tracer?

Will a T42 thinkpad run F29?
by Beartooth
Background: F28 has been the first Fedora release that has given
troubles on a couple of old PCs (built for me by friends who speak
hardware; so I don't have specs) -- troubles which other friends
attribute to those PCs lacking hardware that F28 requires. I'm in process
of burning a live DVD (with MATE - Compiz) of F29 which I'll try with
them; if it seems to run, I'll try installing it. So far, I think I know
at least roughly what I'm doing.
But, to get to the real point, I also have an old T42 Thinkpad
which has been gathering dust. I'd like to do the same with it as with
the PCs. But, if there is anyone anywhere who can say at sight whether
there's any hope, that may save me considerable frustration. How about it?

Systemd update
by jarmo
Brought nasty surprise. I have selinux disabled has been in F28
and upgraded F29. Now, I can't get laptop (HP) running. Stops
to: Can't find selinux policy freezing!
Upgrade itself went smoothly, but this last systemd upgrade
made it.
Shortest way to repair system. Laptop is for testing, so no
important is going to loose, if install again.
