Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Kit with Arc 770 and fedora 39
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hi,
a friend of mine has an Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Kit (NUC12SNKi72) with an
Intel Arc 770 graphic card installed on it.
By default fedora 39 anaconda freezes (black screen after skipping verify
media and selecting install option).
It seems the same scenario as described here for fedora 37:
https://kevinquillen.com/getting-intel-arc-770m-work-fedora-37
Before going through all the same steps I would like to test something
shorter, especially without disabling ACPI and PCIe Power mgmt in the bios,
if possible in latest Fedora.
Suggestions for anaconda boot parameters?
Eg
1) using nomodeset option at installation phase. Could it work oob?
2) any way to specify an option for a kernel module during install? WHat
syntax?
I mean the equivalent of using the
options i915 force_probe=5690
in /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf for an already installed system
BTW: I have still to understand if the system will use both graphics cards
(which one is primary in this case?) or if the onboard one will be disabled
if using a discrete card on the Nuc.
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Starting Wayland FC39
by Dave Close
Until FC39, I had only run Wayland on one of my machines, not even
trying to bring it up on the others. Since I intensely dislike the
graphic login, I found a way to start it from a virtual terminal like
I normally start X11. Instead of "startx", I have a short script I call
"startw" that contains only the single line, "/usr/bin/dbus-run-session
/usr/bin/startplasma-wayland". (Yes, I run KDE.) This worked on FC38.
Now on the same machine with FC39 (upgraded with system-upgrade) this
no longer works. Instead, it produces 248 lines of output and then
terminates. Reviewing those lines, it appears that it is complaining
about, 'failed to open drm device at "/dev/dri/card0"' and 'No suitable
DRM devices have been found'. I'm not sure what device that refers
to but there seems to be some indication that it is my display. The
display certainly works fine for the virtual terminal I use to run
this script, and it also works fine for X11 if I run "startx".
Ok, so as a fallback I tried a graphic login. This reaches a completely
blank screen and goes no further. The machine is up as I can reach it
with SSH but the display is useless. It responds to Ctrl-Alt-Delete
but nothing else. I can't get it to switch to a different desktop. I
noticed that SDDM defaults to Wayland so I changed "sddm.conf" to
include "DisplayServer=x11". The allowed the graphic login to reach
a login page but nothing I entered there was accepted even when I
switched to specify starting an X11 session instead of Wayland.
There are some online references to a problem with the /dev/dri/card0
device but they are ancient and don't seem relevant.
This machine is intended to run an application that only works on
Wayland (Waydroid) so at this point I'm stimied. Any suggestions
would be very helpful.

Software to view thermal camera images on Fedora 39
by Jeffrey Walton
Hi Everyone,
I purchased a Topdon Thermal Camera,
<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7LMB22Q>. I'm trying to open the device
on Fedora 39, x86_64, with the KDE spin.
I'm having trouble finding a KDE app to open the camera on F39. I've
tried Dragon (video), Kamoso (camera) and Kamera (camera) apps. None
of them seem to recognize the camera, and none of them open it.
Here is what dmesg has to say about the camera:
[153944.011515] usb 3-2.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[153944.307093] usb 3-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda,
idProduct=5830,bcdDevice=11.01
[153944.307107] usb 3-2.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1,
SerialNumber=2
[153944.307111] usb 3-2.4: Product: USB Camera
[153944.307113] usb 3-2.4: Manufacturer: Generic
[153944.307116] usb 3-2.4: SerialNumber: 200901010001
[153944.326921] usb 3-2.4: Found UVC 1.00 device USB Camera (0bda:5830)
The USB Camera (0bda:5830) is known to Linux, see
<https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0bda-5830>.
And I may be doing something dumb, like not configuring one of the
apps correctly. (I am used to using Cheese to open cameras like this,
but I am not on Ubuntu).
What KDE software can I use to view the images from the Topdon?
Thanks in advance.

my Nextcloud installation doesn't like it. Any suggestions on how to
downgrade PHP to 8.2

f39 emacs strange behavior?
by Tom Horsley
I have by no means finished tweaking my fedora 39 boot partition,
but the last time I was booted there, emacs was a complete mess.
It seemed to take forever to respond to keystrokes. Scrolling the
screen would leave random characters in various places which would
disappear if I moved the cursor over them. Probably other weirdness
I didn't figure out.
Anyone else seen this?
I've used alternatives to make emacs-lucid the default. I'll see
if it works better then next time I boot f39...

Strange daily reboot
by Patrick O'Callaghan
My system (both F38 and now F39) reboots itself every morning at 8am,
yet nothing in the cron configuration is telling it to do that and I
don't see anything obvious in the journal to cause it.
How can I figure out what is triggering this? I know the description is
vague, but there it is.

adding static routes on fc38
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora38 server that's been updated to new versions many times
over the years. It seems now I'm having a problem with the static route I
created many years ago no longer being supported. I knew this was coming,
but I'm unfamiliar with the new methods. I'm using the old network-tools
method, not NM or even nmcli.
It clearly doesn't understand my current config:

Ideas on how to "upgrade" my server would be greatly appreciated.

does Firefox honor local self-signed CAs ?
by lejeczek
Hi guys
I put my own CAs certs into: /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors
then _update-ca-trust_
My other web-browsers seem happy but Firefox always
shows/warns: connection not secure
as oppose to other browsers saying: is secure
Something has changed in default behavior - I remember
Firefox did not do it - even if it was possible to "tweak"
Firefox back to "normal"
would you know?
thanks, L.
