Fedora 24 -> 25 upgrade smooth and successful (but for one small vpn openconnect issue)
Hi, I have upgraded all my machines (3 laptops, 2 desktop warhorses) using fedup and all went smoothly. The only thing that does not work is openconnect with NetworkManager. I got the following when I looked into it. Could not load editor VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect' (missing plugin file "/usr/lib64/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so") Where do I get this plugin, and more importantly, why is it not pulled in with an upgrade/install?

I have the same phenomenon on (now) three different machines. One has nvidia graphics, one AMD and one Intel Ironlake. On all three, changing the file mentioned in the mail before made the font sharp and crisp again. If you use stock Fedora fonts, it may be that is why you didn't notice the effect. I have always hated blurry fonts, and highly prefer "as sharp and clear as possible". What I'm doing is: 1. Recompiling freetype with subpixel rendering and the bytecode interpreter enabled. 2. Setting antialiasing and hinting to "max" (Applications -> Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts). That sufficed to get the desired "as sharp as possible" effect, until F25. While most of the fonts where as sharp and crisp as before using 1 and 2, some were not, as e.g. in Firefox, Thunderbird and some other programs. Most probably because they obey the systemwide font config. This obviously wasn't the case in previous Fedora releases. As a "sharp and crisp" freak, I can tell that there's a *huge* difference if a font is slightly or fully hinted. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

I'm not running Fedora or Gnome at this moment, so I may be barking up the wrong tree here: I've always found (on RHEL or centos) that you can right-click on the desktop background, choose "change desktop background", then click on the fonts tab. Once there you'll be able to choose (under Rendering) several choices for the amount of detail you want in the fonts (where I assume that the more detail the more CPU is required). you can choose "monochrome", "best shapes", "best contrast", or "subpixel smoothing". then click the details button and you have additional settings, you can choose among 3 settings for "smoothing", and four for "hinting". I always choose the "best" settings for all 3 of those properties, and I find the fonts look pretty good. on that details screen you can also choose subpixel order, where I assume the choice should match how your display hardware works. How does one know how it works? I don't have any wisdom here, but I think you could examine the left edge and top edge of the LCD screen with a magnifier powerful enough to see the subpixels. Probably the defaul of "RGB" is correct for most screens, though. So, there's no need to go hacking amongst system config files!

I don't know if it will help, but I've always found this file to make all fonts look better: /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-autohint.conf true Haven't tried it on f25 yet so I don't know if it works there or not. I have always found default fonts in fedora to be inferior to just about every other linux release, with ubuntu always seeming to have the most readable default fonts. Possibly f25 has just switched all the themes to a different default font which looks worse, so the hinting above might not help. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
F25 Wayland on Optimus-enabled laptops
Two headline features of Fedora 25 are: - Wayland by default - Initial support for PRIME offload rendering for NVIDIA Optimus laptops My laptop has a dual GPU setup (Skylake + GTX 970), but I can't seem to start a Wayland session at all. GDM even runs using Xorg, and the "GNOME" session logs in using Xorg. I checked my initramfs, but it includes the drm module, as well as both kernel modules: nouveau.ko and i915.ko. From a console session, I can start weston (weston-launch), but I can't start gnome-shell (dbus-run- session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland). It errors with: mutter-WARNING **: Can't initialize KMS backend: could not find drm kms device. The Wayland session worked in F24, so I'm guessing this is because of the dual-GPU support enabled in F25. Should these two features be mutually exclusive? Should I expect wayland *or* GPU render offloading? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Hi, updated two machines from F24 to F25, and now the fonts configured in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance are no longer on the same level of sharpness/clarity as they were in previous Fedora releases. It is considerably visible in Thunderbird and Firefox. While there was no problem to get clear and sharp fonts using antialiasing and hinting, it now seems to be impossible, at least in programs that adapt their fonts from the above mentioned setting.
