F31 interesting copying speed
by Joerg Lechner
Hi,I copy TV films, recorded with my laptop, from the laptop internal disk to external USB2.1 connected disks. Result with Win 10, Win 10 on the laptop internal disk copying speed about 21 mb/sec, copying with F29 (I omitted F30) F29 on an USB3.0 stick, copying speed about 25 mb/sec, F31 on the same USB3.0 stick, leading the copying process from the laptop internal disk to the external disk, about 34mb/sec copying speed.

login to black screen
by Neal Becker
After updating to F31, I was playing with different display managers. Normally use KDE. I tried deepin, and liked it,
but scaling seemed a bit off. I changed display scaling to 1.5. I was told I needed to logout/in for setting to take effect, which I did.
Then login to deepin all I get is black screen with cursor. Tried login to kde. Same result.
I finally was able to restore my .config directory from a backup (using CLI) and I'm back in business.
My question for this group is, what happened? I wish I knew which config file got messed up so I could fix more easily.
Thanks,
Neal

/boot/efi on RAID-1 (mdraid)
by Sam Varshavchik
I installed F30 on a replacement server with two HDDs. My existing hardware
earned its well-deserved retirement. My replacement hardware is the first
server hardware I'm using that uses EFI and the GPT.
I configured all my partitions with mdraid, including /boot/efi:
/dev/md124 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,
codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=winnt,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/md124:
Version : 1.0
Creation Time : Sat Oct 26 20:49:42 2019
Raid Level : raid1
Array Size : 1049536 (1024.94 MiB 1074.72 MB)
Used Dev Size : 1049536 (1024.94 MiB 1074.72 MB)
[ . . . ]
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 4 0 active sync /dev/sda4
1 8 20 1 active sync /dev/sdb4
I want to make sure that in the event one of the disks fail I'll be able to
boot off the other one. Are any additional steps needed for this, beyond the
ones that were done by F30's installer?
With BIOS I knew I needed to run grub-install to manually install grub on
/dev/sdb in addition to /dev/sda; do I need to do anything analogous to
that, with EFI?

USB WIFI adapters
by Robert McBroom
I've been searching for a USB WIFI adapter to allow my laptop to access
the 5GHz band. The market seems to be dominated by Realtek but Fedora 29
doesn't seem to have drivers for the various chips. Found an adapter
from BrosTrend that said it supported LINUX without noticing that the
support was for the slow cycle DEBIAN. With a clue from support found
the driver on github.
I was successful in getting the driver from
https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au
to install on a Fedora 29 system with the 4.20 version of the kernel.
Had to get the newer version from
https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au
for installation on a second Fedora 29 system running the 5.2 kernel.
This version also installed on the newer 5.3 kernels.

Trouble connecting to a specific WiFi ssid (association timeout)
by cen
Hi
Up-to-date Fedora 30
Thinkpad x260, Intel wifi, wpa_supplicant v2.8
I got a brand new tp-link archer c6 and set up 2.4Ghz mixed ssid and
5Ghz ac/mixed ssid. I can connect to 5GHz just fine but 2.4GHz gives
association timeout (see dmesg below). It just keeps asking for password
every 20 seconds to infinity. This is the only 2.4 b/g/n ssid that I
have trouble connecting with, ever. My android phone and 2 windows
laptops can connect to this ssid just fine so there must be a very
specific problem with my laptop/Fedora combo.
I have yet to try with an unsecured ssid, that is next on the debug
list, currently it is set to WPA2 personal/AES.
Anything else I can try to solve this mystery?

F31RC1.9 install fails on Ryzen 7 3800X if file system encryption is enabled
by Eric Smith
I have a new Ryzen 7 3800X system, and since Fedora 30 won't install on
that, I tried Fedora 31 RC1.9 Workstation Live. That boots up fine, but
when I try to install to my "disk" (M.2 NVMe), if file system encryption is
enabled, it hangs at "Creating luks on /dev/nvme0n1p6". I let it sit there
for 20 minutes with no progress made.
If I install with file system encryption disabled, it installs fine.
Maybe this is more fallout from the RDRAND problem?

I check that first. It is not always inclusive of things that
can go wrong, such as the rpm -Va thing.
This is what I have so far:
FC 30 -->> FC 31:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/
# rpm --rebuilddb
# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
if anything is too new, do a
# dnf downgrade offender(s)
# dnf --enablerepo=* update --refresh
# dnf install python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=31 --allowerasing
--best
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-31-primary
# dnf clean packages <-- optional
