NVME drive is not detected
by Alex Gurenko
Hello everyone, I'm facing a weird problem. I've recently rented a PC - ASUS G21CX, which comes with 2 disks:
- NVME SSD Intel 660p 512Gi
- SATA HDD Toshiba 1Ti
Obviously it arrived with Windows 10 installed and want to install Fedora on it, however Fedora Live image does not recognize NVME drive, like it's not even there. HDD is available as /dev/sda as expected.
dmesg and journalctl does not show any errors except some usb-related failures, but I don't think it's related in any way.
Windows and BIOS both recognize the disk. I've disabled the Secure Boot feature but that had no effect.
I've tried both Workstation image and KDE image (which I intent to use). I was hoping to see something else on other distros, but no other live image managed to boot on this machine. I've tried Ubunut 20.04 LTS, Manjaro KDE, PopOS with nVidia drivers all are getting stuck at boot.
The rest of the hardware:
- Motherboard Chipset: Intel Z390 (Cannon Lake-H)
- Core i7-9700K
- ASUS RTX 2070
BIOS settings are almost as limited as a laptop, but nothing unusual from what I can tell.
Do you have any pointers or ideas what could it be and how to fix it?

Best regards, Alex

xsane and simple-scan
by Mike Flannigan
It is hard to argue that xsane is simple and intuitive,
but it does do a good job after you learn it. Even
the GOCR is respectable.
I hadn't tried simple-scan until now. It doesn't
automatically detect the scan size on my scanner,
and I don't see a way to adjust for scan size.
Otherwise it does work pretty good.

Re: Any subs for Libreoffice?
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl

Hi Sam,
I really do want to like Libre Office, but...
I have installed it over the years across two counties
and I hae yet to have a SINGLE customer that has stayed
with it. It is just too counter intuitive and buggy.
In that case, pleased to meet you.
I’ve started to use StarOffice, when it was purchased by the magnificent SUN company. I was one of the people that did the porting of (by then) OpenOffice for HP-UX 10.20.
After the unfortunate L.O.-fork, I jumped, and kept using LO ever since.
Current employer prefers LO over word, and actively supports it, and advocates this to my (several tens of thousands) colleges.

A word processor, any word processor, is not a particularly good choice
for writing a book. They've long since gone from being a "word
processor" to being a secretary's all-purpose convoluted typing tool.
They're not particularly conducive to writing paragraphs and pages as
just paragraphs and pages, often horrible at very long documents, and
not really good for doing page layout. Probably not a very useful
format if you were going to take a book to a printing house, either.
I’ve written several YA books (each 120K -150K words), all done with LibreOffice.
For the proof-of-concept, I even did the complete cover and spine with LibreOffice. Without *any* adjustments it produced perfect paperbacks and hard-covers. After several edit-iterations, the publishing house kept it that way.
Latex is the usual suggestion for real authors, but will be even more
of a bastard to use if you're not into that kind of thing.
That depends.
I only once was forced to use Latex.
When including a single formula, you still can do this with L.O.
But once I turned my math notes into something more readable. For such purpose LO (or OO, ms-word or anything else) are totally unusable. Then you need context-free data entry.

OT: diagnosis of failure to boot
by geoff＠hughes.net
Reboot stopped at emergency mode.
journalctl -xb does not list any complaints (that I can find), but
there's clearly something wrong! Any suggestions as to diagnosis?
kernel is 5.7.9.200. selinux is disabled.
livecd boot is OK; disk is accessible.
I saved the output of journlctl, so its available for interrogation. No obvious complaints
Thoughts? Diagnosis?

Is there a way to get nmcli to tell you if an interface

Fedora 32: can't cd to home directory on login
by Braden McDaniel
Some recent update to Fedora 32 has caused this to start happen:
Fedora 32 (Workstation Edition)
Kernel 5.7.12-200.fc32.x86_64 on an x86_64 (tty3)
mull login: braden
Password:
Last login: Sun Aug 9 21:08:51 on tty2
-- braden: /home/braden: change directory failed:
Logging in with home = "/".
[braden@mull /]$ cd
[braden@mull ~]$ pwd
/home/braden
[braden@mull ~]$
What's happening here?
Why is the login process itself failing to change to the home
directory, yet it's accessible immediately afterward?
Home directories are NFS mounted on this machine via autofs.
$ cat /etc/auto.master.d/home.autofs
/home /etc/auto.home
$ cat /etc/auto.home
* -fstype=nfs4 hinge:/endoframe-store/home/&

librepo: corrupted double-linked list
by Sam Varshavchik
Something in the latest bunch of updates is triggering an rpm bug, or
rather, a librepo bug.
I ran a dnf upgrade on a bunch of machines. The first one segfaulted in the
cleanup phase. While I was pondering what to do about it, maybe a cosmic ray
hit an unfortunate capacitor in one of the RAM sticks perhaps, another one
splurted this out:
Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install 5 Packages
Upgrade 159 Packages
Remove 4 Packages
Total download size: 514 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

A core dump showed this:

This strongly suggests a bone-fide bug. A rerun of 'dnf upgrade' succeeded
without any fanfare.
I'm fully updated out, but perhaps someone who has a bunch of updates to
install could run dnf upgrade under valgrind, and see what shakes out.

Missing a CPU after the 5.7 kernels??
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have a old quad core system that I've had since Fedora 10 I believe.
Recently, upgraded to Fedora 31, and it was still seeing all 4 cores.
Run BOINC, and recently notice that it was only showing 3 cpus
running? Machine is one of the 5 computers I have at house, but is
headless and access remotely via VNC. Other systems all show the right
number of cpus after updates, so not sure what might cause the issue.
The results of lshw-gui shows the 4 cores, but the dmesg shows only
CPU 0 - 2. Didn't notice this until the 5.7 kernel change, but not sure
exactly which update caused the change.
Any ideals what could fix this, or how to get specific reasons it might
have happened. Other machines are newer, some dual and one other
quad core. So, just this one??
