Package update causes loss of network connection
by Richard Shaw
I've had this happen about 3 times now and this time I copied the output
from DNF of the packages around the time network connectivity was lost.
The network icon in Gnome shell changes to a question mark and I haven't
found a solution (including restarting NetworkManager) that fixes it. The
only solution I've found so far is rebooting.
I'm going to try doing a "dnf reinstall" of the packages that have anything
to do with networking and see if I can find out which package it is.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Richard

strange icon in menu
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I just upgraded my system to f28. I use xfce as window manager and in
the main menu>accessories there is a HHHuge icon, an image of two
drawers, which is for the file manager.
Why? And how to remove it?
Thank you.

Building the kernel
by Frank Elsner
Hello,
as announced I started to build the kernel myself.
Following the documentation in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel/Source_RPM
I downloaded the kernel SRPM.
But when I do the step "Install kernel-<version>.src.rpm with the following command:"
by executing
rpm -Uvh ~/Downloads/kernel-4.17.9-200.fc28.src.rpm
I can't proceed to the next step
Change to the kernel source tree directory:
cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-$ver.$fedver/linux-$ver.$subver.$fedver.$arch/
because ~/rpmbuild/BUILD is empty but ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES has *.config files and patches.
Why is ~/rpmbuild/BUILD empty? Documention in error or what is my error?
Cheers,
Frank

NFS not mounted at boot -
by Bob Goodwin
I have two computers, Fedora 27 and 28 that do not mount the nfs server
at boot. It works from root afterward without any difficulty but that is
a bit of an inconvenience. I put up with that problem with the Samba
server for a long time but two is too much!
This problem was unknown until I built this nfs box which pretty much
says I've done something wrong but I have no idea what ... /etc/exports is:
[bobg@ASRock-J3455M ~]$ cat /etc/exports
/home/exports
192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0)
The client /etc/fstab is:
192.168.1.86:/home/exports /mnt/testb nfs4 defaults 0 0
Any suggestions appreciated,

F27->F28 no new kernel
by Frank Elsner
Hello,
I've just upgraded my TP X230i from F27 to F28 painless.
But I'm still on my last F27 kernel-4.16.16-200.fc27.i686+PAE.
No newer kernel installed.
During ame upgrade procedure on my TP x121e kernel was updated to
kernel-4.17.7-100.fc27.i686+PAE.
Both systems are 32bit. What could prevent update to a newer kernel?
Cheers,
Frank

Gnome boxes and USB redirection
by Jeffrey Ross
System is Fedora 28
I have Gnome boxes running with a Windows 10 "guest". I have a USB
device that I need to be automatically passed to the Windows 10 OS in
boxes. Because of how this device works it connects and then
disconnects a few times when it is first connected while going into a
programming mode, Because of this every time it disconnects the host OS
grabs the device causing the device to reset as it doesn't get a
response from the controlling software in time.
from the messages file the device info is:
kernel: usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2a4f, idProduct=0100,
bcdDevice= 0.00
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=33, Product=37, SerialNumber=0
and I will also see multiple entries:
unhandled action 'bind' on
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-11/3-11:1.1
unhandled action 'unbind' on
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-11/3-11:1.0
a direction or pointers would be appreciated on how to force it to auto
redirect to the Windows OS.
Thanks, Jeff

Defining network Paramus using virt-install and kickstart for VM install
by JWH
I want to create a fedora VM client on a previously installed fedora bare metal host.
The network definition on the host is 192.168.1.x/24. I want the guest to also be on 192.168.1.x/24.
Dnsmasq has been disabled and stopped on the host.
1) Do I need to do anything else on the host?
2) What do I use for network arguments to virtual-install?
3) What do I use for network arguments to kickstart?
Older docs say I need to modify config files in /etc/sysconfig, is that really necessary?
Thanks.

As we know, memory leak bugs #64 and relevent fixes are available only

On my current Fedora 28 workstation, I have gnome-shell 3.28.3 and gjs
1.52.3 from updates repository and I can't found the newer version on
updates-testing repository
$ rpm -qi gnome-shell | head -n4
Name : gnome-shell

Architecture: x86_64
$ rpm -qi gjs | head -n4
Name : gjs

Can anyone guide me how to get and compile the latest gnome and gjs on
my machine?
