ACPI errors (was: f24 boot fails; need help).

by William

Good evening, One of the problems reported in the log file "rdsosreport.txt" generated by the failed boots discussed in the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic was a set of "ACPI" errors. Here are the relevant lines (with added line numbers) from that log file (the first and last lines are just for context): ---------- 862 [ 1.218683] coyote kernel: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) 863 [ 1.218927] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 864 [ 1.219196] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 865 [ 1.219856] coyote kernel: ata2.00: ATA-8: ST2000DM001-1CH164, CC24, max UDMA/133 866 [ 1.220017] coyote kernel: ata2.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA 867 [ 1.220812] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 868 [ 1.221100] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 869 [ 1.221620] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 870 [ 1.221909] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 871 [ 1.222200] coyote kernel: ata6.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100 872 [ 1.222374] coyote kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 873 [ 1.222582] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 874 [ 1.222908] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 875 [ 1.222919] coyote kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 CC24 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 876 [ 1.223466] coyote kernel: ata4.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-208M, 1.10, max UDMA/100 877 [ 1.226360] coyote kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 878 [ 1.226407] coyote kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 879 [ 1.226501] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 880 [ 1.226507] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 881 [ 1.226519] coyote kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/100 882 [ 1.227197] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 883 [ 1.227204] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 884 [ 1.227217] coyote kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100 ---------- What is this all about?

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?

by wwp

Hello there, (after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!) I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not friendly ;-). Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must admit that I don't know what to do now.. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRL... BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily (artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly - and that gave me hope! Any hint or experience w/ such hardware? Regards, -- wwp

How to turn on networking from rescue boot

by vendor＠billoblog.com

So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well. However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also hung. I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade. Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and see if I can upgrade again. However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode. Can anybody point me to a tutorial? Thanks, billo

suspends shutdowns system instead of suspending

by Sudhir Khanger

Hi, A new bug has cropped up on my system Dell Precision 5510 running Fedora 25 Plasma Desktop. Anytime I suspend my device it shutdowns and obviously I lose all my unsaved work. I have tried all the kernel currently installed on my system 4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64, 4.10.9, and 4.10.8. I have also tried downgrading systemd to systemd-231-10.fc25.x86_64. I continue to have the problem. sysinfo - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/9nY1-YH4IKXt4wJhyIbMGV5M1UNdIGYhyRL... dmesg - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/WK2NAqy3PRxrR6Fze2baIl5M1UNdIGYhyRL... What I can do to troubleshoot the problem?

4% battery; dpesn't suspend

by Dave Mitchell

F27. I ran a new laptop battery down to 4% (as claimed by gnome) and my laptop didn't auto-suspend, nor hibernate. In settings / power, the only option for battery power these days seems to be to automatically suspend after a set time period; not at a certain battery level. So a) did I imagine it that earlier fedoras used to have this feature? b) any way I can enable auto-suspect on low battery for F27? -- print+qq&$}$"$/$s$,$a$d$g$s$@$.$q$,$:$.$q$^$,$@$a$~$;$.$q$m&if+map{m,^\d{0\,},,${$::{$'}}=chr($"+=$&||1)}q&10m22,42}6:17a2~2.3@3;^2dg3q/s"&=~m*\d\*.*g

H.264 video broken after updating to Fedora 28

by Sam Varshavchik

After upgrading to Fedora 28, most of Youtube is broken in Firefox, claiming lack of H.264 codec support. Googling around, found this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264 But none of the packages are currently available: [root@thinkpad yum.repos.d]# dnf config-manager --set-enabled fedora-cisco-openh264 [root@thinkpad yum.repos.d]# dnf install gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 mozilla-openh264 Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:00 ago on Thu 26 Apr 2018 09:40:47 PM EDT. No match for argument: gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 No match for argument: mozilla-openh264 Error: Unable to find a match Meanwhile, back on Fedora 27, H.264 video works fine in Firefox, without any of this.

portable (really) Fedora on stick

by Aleksandar Kostadinov

Hi, I'm reading documentation [1] for Fedora on a USB stick. The only option to have a portable fedora on a stick seems to be by creating an overlay FS and this certainly leads to getting out of disk space at some point. I would really like to create Fedora on USB that I can plug anywhere and work off it. I was thinking that perhaps I can just install regular fedora on a USB stick like I would do on a hard drive. Then it can be updated and used just like any other Fedora machine. Perhaps disable persistent logging and swap so that flash memory doesn't wear out. One issue I presently know about is dracut. It creates by default images that only support a specific hardware. i.e. if I install kernel on a machine with an nforce disk controller, it will put in intird only that module thus Fedora will not boot on a machine with AHCI controller. Maybe this wouldn't matter when all things are on the USB drive but then can there be a problem with different USB controller modules? I was wondering if anybody tried that and has tips for greated portability. Thank you, Aleksandar [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quick-docs/en-US/creating-and-using-a-live...

Fonts in F27

by Gordon Messmer

After upgrading to F27, I noticed that fonts looked "off". I made a screenshot of Thunderbird and gnome-terminal displaying roughly identical contents on Fedora 25, 26, and 27. The older two releases are identical, but F27's fonts (both fixed-width and variable-width) appear to be the same width as they were previously, but taller. Characters like monospace 'o' used to be round and are now oblong. Everything seems slightly heavier as a result of the additional pixels. Does anyone know if this change was intentional? Personally, I think it's worse than before.

empty messages from fedora users list.

by William Mattison

Good morning, Since March 08, I've received 11 messages from this list that appear empty, including 2 so far today. I have received a few (less) not empty, none today and 3 yesterday. What's causing this problem, and how do I fix it? My e-mail client is Thunderbird 52.5.2. I will occasionally check the Fedora Hyperkitty for replies. thanks, Bill.
