Re: Volume/mute/brightness keys stopped working
See if the Volume/Mute/Brightness works if you hold the "Fn" key simultaneously. There's an "Fn Lock" setting in the BIOS and/or software-accessible that gets toggled inadvertently. Just this week, I had customers complaining their Wifi keeps getting turned off, and their F8 is no longer working like it used to, and that was the cause.

I used to have nvidia, and the intermittent lockup of the nouveau driver was one of my irritants. I compile my own kernel using the Fedora test kernels, so using nvidia's binary blob was problematic. I switched to an older radeon, and it just works. I can't remember the last time I had a video issue. But, I think I am even less demanding of my video card than you are, so it might be an issue for you if you use a newer, and more powerful, card. I think they use a different driver than the radeon driver I use (amdgpu?). I think that AMD publishes the API of their cards, while nvidia doesn't, so the AMD cards open source drivers aren't reverse engineered, while nouveau has to be because of that. Thus the nouveau glitches. I recently saw an article that the video performance of intel graphics has taken a big leap forward with the latest generation. The graphs of performance in that article looked like double or more of older generations. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

As near as I can tell the only reliable open source driver is intel, but you need a motherboard with built-in intel video that supports it. Simpler to switch back to the nvidia binary drivers from rpmfusion. I usually go with the nouveau drivers on each new fedora release till they freeze up the first time, then I give up and switch to nvidia. (Lately, I don't even have to wait for them to freeze up, since X11 under nouveau apparently can't interpret the EDID from the monitor on my 4K TV, wayland "works" but doesn't use the native resolution). ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Nouveau crashes
Hi. I have been a long life fan of Nvidia cards. A few years ago I decided to skip the nvidia drivers and go with the nouveau drivers. So far so good, but they tend to freeze the desktop every few days. Lately after upgrading to F30, the desktop freezes daily or more. It is more annoying than anything else. I can ssh from another computer usually and restart display-manager, but I lose whatever I am working at at the moment. I have opened up a couple of bug reports on bugzilla with extracts from the log. My question is this. If I change to Radeon, how is the experience with those cards? Is the linux driver for these cards fine? I am not a heavy game player, mostly web browsing, and lately FreeCAD, Meshmixer though wine, PlayonLinux, user.

Volume/mute/brightness keys stopped working
I have a Dell Precision 5520 laptop (basically an XPS 15). The volume, mute, and brightness "function" keys have always just worked on this laptop with no additional configuration required ... until now. Something has changed in the last week or two, and the keys no longer have any effect (except that the brightness increase key now toggles the maximized state of terminal windows). Anyone else seen this recently? Assuming no, anyone have any hints on how to debug this? I'm not really sure how these function keys work (i.e. are they keypresses, ACPI events, something else?).

I have come across this workaround, but dislike it for exactly the same reason as Tim. Another "solution" floating around the web is use fastestmirror. Those of us who have been a Fedora users know it all too well the issues with fastestmirror. That said, I believe it has a "exclude" option, if I could use that, but not use fastestmirror, that could be acceptable for the time being. But I don't think that's possible. Maybe I should just use Samuel's workaroound for now, and file an RFE against dnf. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
