ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
my computer boot only in emergency mode ...
Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl
) these lines in red color :
ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
(and after..)
ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16)
That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs..
I found a possible solution to the problem in this post:
http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-e...
There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the
HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by
changing the position of a jumper on the HD...
I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this
way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this
operation..
So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs
(my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago).
I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an
obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can
do to go around in my problem..
>From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get:
give me this input :
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
Thank you
regards
Angelo

PC locked, but one screen is showing
by Todor Petkov
Hello,
I have the following situation:
Laptop Lenovo T540p, attached to external monitor LG, and running
Fedora25 with Mate desktop.
After the recent upgrade from 24 to 25, after I press the combination
for screen lock, the current monitor is being locked properly (blue
background with the unlock dialogue). However, the other monitor is
still showing its desktop. For example:
On the external monitor I have a browser window, on the laptop monitor
I have a chat client. The 'active' monitor is the external one (active
means showing the active application). I press the lock keyboard
combination, the external monitor is locked, but the laptop screen
still shows the chat client. I can not click in it, it does not
refresh (showing new messages), but it's still visible. If I press ESC
several times, the "not locked" screen is refreshed and shows the
unlock.
Is this a known issue, can someone reproduce it?
Thanks in advance.

panel locks after upgrade to F25
by Maurizio Marini
Hello
after upgrade to F25, panel locks randomly.
I have KDE and plasma5.
When it happens CTRL+ALT+F2 and back CTRL+ALT+F1 works for me.
I wonder if I can clear something inside .config, something that is recreated
fresh after logoff and login, to fix the issue
or should I ask on ked mlists?
Many thanx in advance

openshot video editor on Fedora
by Samuel Sieb
Is anyone else using openshot on Fedora? I installed it from rpmfusion.
My son has been trying to edit a video and it just keeps crashing when
doing typical actions. I've tried it on computers with F23 and F24 (I
haven't upgraded any computers to F25 yet) and it does the same thing on
both. I can't imagine that this is expected, so is it my computers or
is it something with Fedora? The one crash I looked at in abrt appeared
to involve QT. I'm wondering if anyone else has used it recently
successfully either on Fedora or not.

Shell question
by JD
Reading lines from 2 files in such a way that each iteration
lets me read the next line from each file so that the items
read from each file are in sync as far as line number is concerned.
Is this "doable"?
For a single file, indexing to next line is automatic, visa vis
while read line; do
echo $line
done < some_file.txt
for when more than 1 file is involved, it is not so easy ...
Hypothetical (of course, non-working example):
export index=1
while true do;
file_A_line=`read line$index` # Read from file A
file_B_line=`read line$index` # read from file B
[ x$file_A_line = x -o x$file_B_line = x ] && break
<do something withfile_A_line and file_B_line>
index=`expr $index + 1`
done
So how can the reading from 2 files be accomplished and keep the index
to next line in sync?
I know it is a no brainer with a C program.
Thanx.

How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
by JUSTIN TAYLOR
I have a 3rd party app that use a Java GUI, so it won't run on a headless JVM. I had it working until I installed a different app using dnf. It overwrote my JVM with a headless one and now the Java GUI app is broken. Is there a way to install/register a non-headless JVM with Fedora so it won't keep installing the headless JVM?
Thanks

OT: Flash on (Linux-Based) Samsung SmartTV
by Tim Evans
I'm trying to long-distance-coach a tech-challenged friend on using his
Samsung SmartTV's web browser to view content his Cable TV service
doesn't carry. (This is not trying to get around stuff without
paying--the content, out of area sports, FWIW, is freely available to
watch on his PC.)
When he tries to access the content with the Samsung-embedded browser,
he gets an immediate prompt to upgrade Flash. Following the offered
links allows access to what is labeled as "Linux" rpm and/or tgz
versions, neither of which will install on the TV. So, the content won't
load.
While I've suggest he do a general upgrade of the TV firmware, in hopes
there's a usable Flash upgrade included, I'm thinking of pointing him in
a different direction--say, a ChromeCast.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Changing lvmcache mode
by Raman Gupta
I would like to change the cache mode of an existing lvm cache volume.
I see the following in the man page:
`With the --cachemode option, the cache mode can be set when creating
a cache LV, or changed on an existing cache LV.`
However, it does not seem to work:
# lvs -o cache_mode vg_raid10/lv_var
CacheMode
writethrough
# lvconvert --cachemode writeback vg_raid10/lv_var
# lvs -o cache_mode vg_raid10/lv_var
CacheMode
writethrough
(Fedora 23, 4.8.14)
The `lvconvert` command produces no output, and there is nothing in
dmesg or the journal.
Regards,
Raman

closing lid of laptop
by Paolo Galtieri
I have a question regarding what is supposed to happen when I close the
lid of a laptop. I always assumed that closing the lid would cause the
system to go into suspend mode and wake up when the lid was opened.
What I mean by suspend is that the system should be doing very little so
as to not consume battery. However, what I have observed with my laptop
when I upgraded to F25 is that the system is still active. I have an
ssh session into the laptop from another system and this session is
still active after I close the lid. So the question is what is supposed
to happen when I close my laptop's lid?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paolo

I cannot rad DVD on my laptop;*

Gnome MPlayer Error: couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (No suchfile or directory)
DVD subpicture decoder, DVD subpicture decoder are required to play the file, but are not installed
FAILED - Could not access dvdcdrom: /dev/dvd

Either create a symbolic link /dev/dvd pointing to your cdrom device or set cdrom device in the preferences dialog
If you are using the ise-cd module ensure that you have the following entry in /etc/modules:
options ide-cd dma=1
Reload ide-cd module.
Otherwise run hdparm -d 1 on your dvd-device
/dev/sr0 on /run/media/pdupre/ROUBLEV type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,uhelper=udisks2)

/run/media/pdupre/ROUBLEV/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB
WHich shouldme access to the rest of the DVD, but then I get an error message:
