F20: HDMI + Win+P == GDM black screen
So, I've used HDMI for the first time this weekend. I have pressed Win+P a few times which resulted in a black screen (turned off, I guess). Suspending and resuming would turn on the internal monitor again (I had the session running so it was easy). But now, after a warm reboot, my GDM is a black screen. Inputting the password appears to login on the session. Since this is a GDM issue, I need to find out where GDM stores it's monitor settings -- gconftool-2 recursive-unset on the user-side didn't work. So, questions: a) where does GDM store its monitor settings? b) what is going on here: b1) is there a bug report? b2) any tips on what words to use on the bug report and on what component to assign? Hardware: 8086:0416 (Intel HD Graphics 4600 -- HDMI should be connected to this one, since NVIDIA is always off on Linux) 10DE:0FE4 (NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M -- always disabled on boot via manual call on rc.local to bbswitch ) Software: up-to-date Fedora 20.

QEMU boot of raw GPT partition
Hello! I'm considering the hypothesis of booting a raw GPT partition on QEMU. I was pondering basing my attempt on: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Simulate_virtual_disk_with_MBR_using_linear_RAID. Basically, I would create a fake GPT partition table (actually, two, since they are mirrored at the end of the disk), manually calculating the start point of the partition I want to start. I would like to avoid including on this disk the Linux partitions, hence the need for such calculations. Anyone here ever tried anything similar? -- Pedro -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Sharing EFS / EFI partition between Windows 8 and Fedora 20
Hello! I've installed Fedora 20 on a Asus N550jv with no apparent issues. Thing is, I accepted Anaconda's suggestion of having two EFS / EFI partition, one for Windows (left untouched) and other for Fedora. It is done, installed but... sounds messy. Questions: 1- What are the advantages of having two EFS / EFI partitions? I know some UEFI allow for one boot entry only per partition, thus forcing to choose between Windows or Linux and leaving one with no way to boot again the other; is that the only advantage of having two EFS? I also know Windows 7 installer seems to balk when it sees two EFS; I'd venture a guess Windows 8 has fixed this, can anyone confirm? 2- Any quick way to test if it would break, on my particular machine, to have just one EFS with both Windows and Linux EFI boot files? Maybe add two similar Windows boot entries and see if one of them disappears after I boot Windows?

I've also found out that if I limit the frequencies to channel 48 (you can check the frequencies you use by doing iwlist f ) no crash occurs. I don't know if I'll be able to code something at the driver --probably not -- but at least I can document the workaround to allow hardware scanning to be enabled. In my case I believe the software scan messes the card performance; however after looking at some of the source code I believe there are at least two different cards called iwl3945 or, if to believe on PCI IDS differentiation, 4 or 5, so one card's issue may differ from another's. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

However, once enabled, there will be occasional lockups due to scanning, which can be prevented by hardcoding AP SSID in the wireless settings. So yeah, more and more things start to suck over time (not mentioning terrible 2D graphics performance, deteriorating with each release since KMS/Gallium inception).

Re: Fedora - time to blink
Just to add that laptop has iwl3945 wireless card; iwl3945 module has had since 29 Apr https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/29/275 hardware scanning disabled due to Microcode SW errors; software scanning turns the connection into a patience tester. That didn't help the review, certainly. All network related issues may have been caused by it, since TCP connections do seem to hang randomly with software scanning on that card. I've been doing some experiments trying to fix the Microcode SW errors which so far point that the card is unable to use these frequencies when scanning passively [the kind of hardware scan which triggers the error] (5250.000 - 5330.000 @ 40.000), (N/A, 20.00) (5490.000 - 5710.000 @ 40.000), (N/A, 27.00) Anyway, tough luck, the guy used an unsupported (by Intel) wireless card which probably borked lots of things in the test (since the problem is in the closed-binary-firmware, it's impossible to fix, only to workaround at driver level).

Have you tried nm-applet from Gnome fallback just to check if the same

If it works on Gnome fallback, you may use the old nm-applet from GNOME 3's
fallback mode on GNOME Shell by running the following command as root:
# mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.js
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.disabled
and then logout and login.
You may need to re-run this command after a GNOME Shell upgrade.
NOTE: nm-applet does not integrate well with GNOME Shell experience.

Re: wireless disabled in software
Glad you found out the issue. Anyway, I must add Fedora 15's Gnome-Shell's NM interface is buggy, use the old one when things are going bad, http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg403101.html . That interface clearly has the option of enabling and disabling Wireless. And, if anything else fails, use `rfkill' to check what is disabled (must be installed first).
