High CPU usage of kswapd0 with no swap partition?

[Dave Johansen]

I recently did a clean install of Fedora during the upgrade to 24. I
removed the swap partition because I'm ok with everything fitting in
memory, but on occasion my whole system locks up and I've started keeping a
log of top and it has shown that kswapd0 is using a lot of CPU. Is
something not configured correctly on my system? Or any other ideas on what
the source of this issue is?
Thanks,
Dave

This is where all Fedora kernels are born:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
If you download an rpm, you can install it with dnf -C [kernel package],
*providing* that its dependencies are met on your Fedora version.

This is how to compile a kernel from the src.rpm found at the above
link.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

I don't do it that way since I've been doing it for a while, and have
learned an alternate way that used to be suggested.  

But, that said, are you sure you need to do this?  I don't run multiple
monitors, but if you give some specifics, it might turn out that
someone else can suggest a boot configuration or X configuration
adjustment that will work.

Re: New(er) kernel RPMs?

[Ranjan Maitra]

If you want the latest, you can do what I have over the past few weeks been 
using: i.e. the vanilla kernels which are ahead of the official ones. I am 
pretty pleased with them. You can get it by following the instructions here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories

I have been using the vanilla stable kernel. It is currently at 4.8.1 and I 
expect that 4.8.2 will become available in a couple of days there.

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Generally speaking, having used linux since 1989-1990,
I can say it is a poor player with multi-display environments.
Sadly, Windoze seems to do a better job at this.

Hi!

I've had a similar problem since Kernel 4.6.7 where any external screen
would not be detected. It now only occurs only with my TV. In those
instances where I want to use the TV I use Kernel 4.5.5. I filled a bug
which hasn't gotten much attention here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378686

Oh... and I have an Intel HD Graphics 5500.

If that helps.

New(er) kernel RPMs?

[Michael B Allen]

I just got a Dell Latitude E7470. Mostly works with the latest Fedora live.

However, attaching an external monitor to the HDMI port hangs the
machine. I've been using Linux as my primary machine long enough to
know that it smells very much like a driver issue and that the only
way I'm going to get it to work is to try a newer kernel. So ...

Are there any vaguely official RPMs for new(er) kernels?

If not, what is the path-of-least-resistance for building a new(er)
kernel? I can google as well as anybody but if there's a definitive
way, I would appreciate any pointers.

If it works with the NVidia driver, why not use it? Whom are you hurting

the NVidia driver provides other features that nouveau doesn't.)

I see only one EFI system partition; so it must be what Samuel Sieb
said previously, the EFI partition was formatted during the
installation...

FreeOTP not displaying correct code

[aclawson]

I have two devices in hand, one Android and one iPhone, and 3rd party has a few 
other devices as well (I do not have the specifics of the devices he is using).

We are all scanning the same barcode on each of the phones - I am printing the 
QR into the physical and scanning the Android and iPhone off of the same sheet 
- and they all sync except for the iPhone that I have which is displaying a 
completely different number. I have watched to see if it is simply out of time 
sync but this does not appear to be the case. The iPhone does not have any 
other issues reported.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

And 3-button emulation works here in F-25 with the track ball connected

I'll look into this later.

I will try that next, just having coffee, facing an early appointment at

Yes I always have to make the same change after some updates, normally 
it's a simple thing. I've been doing that for several years, since 
whenever they removed the feature. As I said I consider it essential, 
and I have two other F24 computers in which it works.


This problem began after I accidentally deleted my F24 system while 
making an F25-b installer on a thumb drive via Live Creator, or whatever 
it's called, that usually worked also but seemed never to be able to 
find the thumb drive target. I gave up and put F24 Live on a DVD using 
K3B and did this install on a new hard drive. Fortunately I still had an 
old F22 on another drive and could work from that.


Also I just booted this box to Gnome instead of xfce to cover another 
base, 3-button copy/paste did not work there.


AHA! I plugged in another old track ball and 3-button copy/paste works 
here in Thunderbird. In fact I now have two of the Logitech devices 
plugged into USB ports, only the one on the front panel works as expected.


It looks like I have a new avenue to investigate ... Perhaps a main 
board problem? There was the Live Creator problem and I noticed that the 
USB-3 port on the back panel has not been working recently, only a minor 
thing and I pushed that aside. Both track balls are plugged into USB-2 
ports, and I made no changes in that arrangement until just adding the 
second device ...


That's where I stand now, still confused, may need a new mother board,

Bob
