Nouveau, Oh No!
by Tom Horsley
I was so happy when the nouveau driver finally worked
on my nvidia maxwell card in fedora 24, but now after
about a week, this happened:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1351286
Total screen freeze :-(.
At least it took as long as a week.
If it happens a lot, I may have to go back to
nvidia binaries (I hate the pain of installing them).

No akmod nvidia yet in rpmfusion?
by Tom Horsley
I had to back up one kernel release to get kmod-nvidia to work :-(.
The rpmfusion repos don't seem to have an akmod-nvidia package
for fedora 24.

Sound card Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 not working after update to F24
by Matthew Colton
Hi all,
as the subject says my sound card stopped working after the update to
F24. The sound card worked like a charm in F22 and F23.
Now the situation is as following:
After booting the card is NOT listed by lsusb, yet the LED auf the 2i2
is on. After replugging the device it is listed by lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 1235:8016 Focusrite-Novation
Now it gets wierd. As long as I do NOT log into a desktop session the
card works fine in the console and is listed by lsusb. The card is
selected in alsamixer and aplay works as expected. The card works
and audio files can be played.
As soon as I log in to a desktop session (standard GNOME in my case)
the sound card doesn't work. Seems to be some kind of a pulseaudio
problem. It is still selected in alsamixer, but not available in pacmd

dnf update tries to install yum
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Experts,
I've a Fedora 23 installed on my laptop and I keep it updated (even if
I'm not going through the upgrade process yet).
Yesteday when I checked which packages need to be updated, dnf proposed
me to install this packages:
Installing:
yum noarch 3.4.3-507.fc23 fedora 1.2 M
yum-metadata-parser x86_64 1.1.4-15.fc23 fedora 39 k
yum-utils noarch 1.1.31-508.fc23 updates 117 k
This sounds weird, as far as I know, dnf completely replaced yum so why
I need to install it? Is this generating some conflicts with dnf or
breaking something on my fedora?

F24: gnome crashing after nvidia driver install
by Kevin
Hi, After a fresh F24 install nouveau was freezing my screen
intermittently so I removed it in favor of the nvidia drivers
(367.27). It seems that Ive now traded one problem for another. With
these divers in place and nouveau removed, gnome itself crashes and
when it does the first message in the journal is: “X Error of failed
request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)”. Upon researching
that error, all i could find was screen resolution issues but when
gnome does start the resolution is fine. Has anyone else had this
problem?

installing via VNC over ipv6
by Chris Murphy
This suggests installation using vnc over ipv6 is supported:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Ipv6OnlyInstallation
But when I use inst.vnc boot option, I get an text screen that says to
connect to an ipv4 address, an ipv6 address isn't listed. When I go to
a shell and use 'ip addr' there is a global ipv6 address, but no
formatting for tigervnc I've come up with will connect, it won't
connect:
vncviewer.desktop[12590]: CConn: unable connect to socket:
Invalid argument (22)
If I boot Fedora 23 Server on this same hardware, the 'ip addr'
address can be used successfully to ssh into the server, and also
point a browser to https://[ipv6]:9090 to reach the Cockpit interface
successfully.
root 1744 0.0 0.9 251060 36468 pts/0 Sl+ 03:29 0:00 Xvnc
:1 -depth 16 -br IdleTimeout=0 -auth /dev/null -once
DisconnectClients=false desktop=Fedora rawhide installation on host
10.0.0.15 SecurityTypes=None rfbauth=0
I can't tell if -InTransports needs to explicitly specify ipv6 for it
to work. But at this point I'm stumped and can't tell if it's user
error or a bug. And netstat isn't on non-live media apparently so I
don't have access to that while xvnc is running to see if it's
listening over something other than just an ipv4 address.

what release am I running ?
by Jim Cromie
I installed Fc24 beta a month ago on a new laptop
Ive tried upgrading to 24-final, unsure Ive succeeded.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade
heres what I get now:
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever 24
--allowerasing --best
Error: Need a --releasever greater than the current system version.
that error suggests upgrade completed.
BUT
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
Error: system is not ready for upgrade
that could be either because it isnt ready (for an unobvious reason)
or because its already complete, and not ready for F25 yet
Im pretty sure I ran this or similar shortly after final,
but I also ran it on several other boxes,
without keeping notes,
so not sure of current state (on any of them :-(
-d 7 seems to say Ive succeeded....

If youve succeeded in your install,
what happens if you do this ??
