Nvidia driver irritation
by Tom Horsley 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

I turn my display port connected monitor off over night and when I turn it back on in the morning, I get no video (no valid video anyway). This used to happen a while back, then it stopped, now it is happening again. I find this nonsense in the Xorg.0.log: ... [ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): MetaMode [ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): "DP-0:nvidia-auto-select{ViewPortIn=1366x768,ViewPortOut=3840x2158+0+1}" [ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): could not be re-validated against the current hardware [ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): configuration; removing. It was talking to it fine, but now it wants to "re-validate?" Since the monitor is powered off, it is no wonder it can't re-validate :-). Any obscure nvidia driver options I can use to make it stop the "re-validation" nonsense? If I download the EDID and load it from lib/firmware on the kernel command line, will that make the driver happy even when the monitor is off? (Or with nvidia not doing KMS do I need to point at the EDID in the xorg.conf.d directory)

Hello, When I run nextcloud, I get: "the password you use to log in to your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring" It was not too much an issue when I was able to cancel the request, but for 2 days now, I am even not able kill the request. I have to kill the nextcloud application through a text terminal. Can somebody help me?

Thunderbird and text messages -
by Bob Goodwin 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

I communicate with others during the day via text messaging via Thunderbird. I simply address them with 'phonenumber(a)vzwpix.com and they respond using my fastmail.us email address, this is an essential feature and we have been doing it routinely for several years, it worked perfectly until Fedora-31. Now the message is received but the message itself is not displayed. I can double click on the line at the bottom that shows a .txt attachment and it will offer the option of viewing it in mousepad, a really crude method that adds extra steps. However bcc's of my own outgoing response to the text message displays as usual. Essentially the Thunderbird sees the incoming text message but does not display it, only lists it among messages. Help appreciated, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD FEDORA-31 LINUX XFCE Fastmail

Fedora 30->31 Client ID changed
by Richard Shaw 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

I was wondering after I upgraded why I couldn't ssh into my workstation. I thought maybe sshd got disabled or firewall changes. Turns out that my "Client ID" changed after the upgrade and I got a different IP address from my Mikrotik router. It was VERY long, something like 23 hex numbers but after the upgrade changed to the MAC address with a 1: on the front. Anyone know why that would have happened? The other Fedora 30 installs I have are of the "long" variety and I assume I'll have to fix each one in my DHCP server after upgrading. Thanks, Richard

qemu-kvm steels my flash drives
by Todd Chester 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hi All, Fedora 31 qemu-kvm-4.1.0-5.fc31.x86_64 If I have a virtual machine running and I insert a flash drive into a USB socket, the virtual machine steels the flash drive from the host, not that it will actually work in the VM, which they don't. To get them to work in my VM's I have to add them as a piece of hardware to my configuration, then they work. I have to exit all my VM's to be able to see my flash drives again from the hosts system (FC31). This is a pain in the neck. Any way around this? Many thanks, -T

NFS-mounting from a QEMU/KVM guest
by Patrick O'Callaghan 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

This is quite embarrassing, but I'm banging my head against a wall and hoping other eyes will spot some obvious mistake. I have an F31 guest (fedora30) running in QEMU/KVM on an F31 host (Bree). I want to mount a host directory via NFS in the guest. I set this up a long time ago and it has worked through several Fedora releases without issue, but in a fit of spring cleaning I did a fresh install of F31 rather than my usual update, so of course now it doesn't work. Clearly I did something right back in the day and have now forgotten what it was. The guest can ping the host and ping the wider Internet, so basic connectivity works (this is via a NAT-style connection). The host can ssh into the guest. Firewall setup on the host: [poc@Bree ~]$ firewall-cmd --list-all home (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: enp3s0 sources: services: dhcp dhcpv6-client dns libvirt mdns mountd nfs nfs3 plex rpc-bind rsyncd samba samba-client ssh ports: protocols: masquerade: no forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: And on the guest: [poc@fedora30 ~]$ sudo firewall-cmd --list-all home (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: enp1s0 sources: services: dhcpv6-client mdns samba-client ssh ports: protocols: masquerade: no forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: Guest ip: [poc@fedora30 ~]$ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:ca:07:30 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.156/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp1s0 valid_lft 2893sec preferred_lft 2893sec inet6 fe80::2e77:5bc1:d19a:6045/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever and routing: [poc@fedora30 ~]$ ip route default via 192.168.122.1 dev enp1s0 proto dhcp metric 100 192.168.122.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.156 metric 100 [poc@Bree ~]$ ping fedora30 PING fedora30 (192.168.122.156) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from fedora30 (192.168.122.156): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=20.1 ms ...

Sleep/hibernate after pre-selected idle time period
by Alex 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hi, I have a fedora30 desktop that's used infrequently throughout the day. I'd like it to go to sleep on its own after 15 minutes of inactivity. How can I do this? The install was done using defaults, so I'm using GNOME with its default applications and configuration. An option to configure this from the command-line would be appreciated, although I can also use the GUI. Thanks, Alex

F31 no longer allows user access to NetworkManager.service
by Paul-Erik Törrönen 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Since today I'm no longer are able to use the F5 VPN solution. When the F5VPN is started, I get a password dialog with the text: Authentication is required to restart 'NetworkManager.service' An applicationis attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action. Problem is, the VPN dies due to this, and reinitializing the VPN only results in the same dialog. This _never_ happended with previous versions of Fedora, nor did it happen with F31 prior to today (last time I used it was last Thursday). If I enter my password, the dialog goes away, but the F5VPN process has also died. When I tried to open my keyring my current password, nor any previous passwords worked, so I suspected that something has corrupted my keyring and recreated them from scratch, logged out and in again. Did not help. I downgraded NetworkManager to 1.20.4-1.fc31 and restarted. Did not help. I downgraded systemd to 243-3.gitef67743.fc31 and restarted. Did not help. How can I disable this password dialog so that it does not break F5VPN? TIA, Poltsi

DVD reading broken (?)
by Mattia Verga 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

What's the package responsible to read DVDs? I'm asking that because I've just realized that I cannot read video DVDs after exactly the first 1024MB... I was trying to copy a video DVD to an ISO image with k3b and it always got stuck after the first 1024MB. So I tried with other video DVDs and all behave the same. I've tried to play the DVD with VLC, but it stops after a while as described also by another user in a post [1]. I think it could be a general problem with DVD reading, not a k3b or vlc one. Which package should I open a bug against? Thanks Mattia [1] https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=151293
