Install Woes with F25
by Tim Evans 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

I've had multiple failed installs on a brand new Dell XPS 8900 today. During the boot from bootable thumb drive, several hundred messages of the following ilk showed up: [nn] printk messages dropped [timestamp] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0 PCIebus Error: severity: corrected, type=physical layer, id.00e0 (Receiver ID) Finally, after a couple of minutes of these messages, the installer came up. I reached the 'create-a-user' stage (language, keyboard, filesystems, root password had been filled in.) The install stalled on the create-user screen after I entered just one letter of the user's name in the box. That is, the screen would not take any other input. Mouse cursor was still active and I could access other features of the live environment--e.g., open a terminal. After 20 minutes or so, a pop-up message stating the Anaconda installer was not responding, wait/exit. Probably shouldn't have, but I clicked exit, then tried to restart the install-to-disk process. This generated a message about an existing anaconda.pid file. So, I rebooted it to try again. Now the above-referenced messages (or ones very similar to them) display indefinitely (I waited over half an hour). The installer never starts. (I tried both F25 and F24 install media, with the same results.) My WAG is that the filesystem creations had not completed by the time the Anaconda-is-not-responding pop-up appeared. (Disk is 1TB, and I told it to delete with Windows partitions.) Possibly, exiting instead of waiting left one or more filesystems in some unusable (read-only?) state. This tends to be confirmed by attempting to boot from Windows 10 DVD, which reports it can't find required partitions to "reset the PC." Can someone provide recipe for booting F25 single user and doing something to restore sanity to the filesystems, or just clean up the mess so I can try the install again? At this point, with neither a working Fedora nor any Windows, the system is without an OS. Thanks. -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117

Wifi issue on lenovo v310-15ISK
by Teddy Brian Odhiambo 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hi guys, I have a lenovo v310-15ISK laptop with an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165. I tried out the solution on https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi and selected the iwlwifi-7265-ucode-16.242414.0 However the wifi still does not work. My kernel is version 4.8 Running "iw wlp3s0 scan" displays a scan list of the available wireless networks. Running wpa_cli says "Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (nil) - re-trying" Running dmesg | grep wlp3s0 says: [ 17.881103] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 [ 42.951550] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [42788.022751] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready Running dmesg | grep iwlwifi says: [ 16.906285] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unsupported splx structure [ 17.549979] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-24.ucode failed with error -2 [ 17.550111] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-23.ucode failed with error -2 [ 17.568517] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 22.361476.0 op_mode iwlmvm [ 17.685969] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165, REV=0x210 [ 17.688060] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled [ 17.688225] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled [ 17.881103] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 [42787.938856] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled [42787.939110] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled [42788.004167] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled [42788.004375] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Disabled I also noticed that although wpa_supplicant is running, the iwlwifi interface is not UP.

system-config-samba?
by Tom Horsley 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

I admit the old system-config-samba tool looked very lame, but it was the only non-cryptic way I ever found to define a samba user for my Windows systems to connect as. In that tool, I'd go to Preferences>Samba Users.. then I could associate a unix user name with a windows user name and specify a password for windows to use. I presume I can do the same with the smbpasswd command line tool, but the man page for it is utterly cryptic. Can anyone translate the options for me to tell me which option means unix user, which means windows user and how I'll specify the password? Or even better, can anyone tell me where in the blue blazes the password file is stored so I can copy it from my fedora24 partition to my fedora25 partition?

F24 CUPS : all errors go to syslog
by sean darcy 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

I'm trying to add a printer to headless server. I've edited cupsd.conf so I can log on remotely. I've set up the printer on cups, but on printing a test page I get "filter failed"' I've set LogLevel to debug and restarted. No output to error_log. MaxLogSize 0 LogLevel debug # Allow remote access Port 631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock Instead of error_log CUPS sends it all to syslog . I've googled. but I can't see when to change that to /var/log/cups/error_log. thanks, sean

Setting biosdevname=0 netif.names=0 in Fedora 25 seems no to work
by Kevin Wilson 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hello, There is a way to avoid using the enp2s* naming conventions for ethernet cards and use eth* instead by adding biosdevname=0 netif.names=0 to the kernel command line. I used it in earlier Fedora distros, but with F25 it does not work. My Kernel command line now after adding "biosdevname=0 netif.names=0" is: cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 root=UUID=2d422951-00af-4b9b-94d2-c7661beeea33 ro rhgb quiet biosdevname=0 netif.names=0 Still "ifconfig -a" shows devices like enp0s25, enp2s0f0. enp2s0f1 and so on, and not eth* devices. Any ideas ? Regards, Kevin

locating the cursor with F-25 wayland
by Howard Howell 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hi, everyone, Just upgraded to f25. Wonderful once I got past a google earth bug with help from the developers (use rpm -e to remove the misbehaving package if you run into that issue.) BUT, and for me it is a tough one... No mouse tails, and the control key no longer highlights the mouse. I am a bit visually impared, so this is a real tough nut for me. Especially since they also put the text cursor to the very thing vertical line. Please if anyone has found a tweak tool for this new environment, please let me know. Regards, Les H
