Well, my point in writing

"I ask this since I use bopomofo for Chinese and ibus-anthy for Japanese

The tray icon for bopomofo is here 
/usr/share/ibus-libpinyin/icons/ibus-bopomofo.svg and
for ibus-anthy it is here /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ibus-anthy.svg"

Was to suggest that maybe ibus does things in a "non-standard" way.

At this point I would probably look at the rpm for one of the other input 
methods, such as
ibus-anthy, and check the post-install scripts to see if they update any icon 
database or
cache.  Potentially downloading the src rpm to see if there are clues there as 
well, may
be of value.

FWIW, ibus also seems to be using Scalable Vector Graphics for their icons.

I know I've not given a definitive answer.  Just what I would check out if I 
were in this
position.

I don't know the answer.  But if you don't get an answer here, you
should try the devel list, where the packagers hang out.

You can subscribe by sending an email to

with subscribe in the subject line, and from the email address you wish

When I searched on "slow response", and sorted by id, latest at top,

UNTESTED!!

In /usr/share/anacron are 3 files (for monthly, weekly, daily)
that each contain a single 8 char line (MMDD).  These look
like when each was run last.  You could probably modify weekly
to match your view of when weekly 'should' run.

With just a few differences, then anacron and cron would be the same.

It means that Red Hat cryptographically signs the grub bootloader, the 
kernel, and kernel modules that ship with Fedora, and they won't be 
loaded if they've been modified.  A rootkit might modify the kernel, or 
a module, or introduce a module of its own that changes the kernel's 
behavior to prevent detection or removal of the rootkit.  Secure Boot 
would prevent that rootkit from loading.

I saw it once or twice.
The reason was (in my case) that when I hibernated, I had USB devices
hooked up.
When I rebooted without plugginf in those devices, it behaved exactly as
you describe.

That's not the case in my setup. All USB devices have remained plugged
in between hibernation and awakening.

Same here. The problem is machine-dependent and afflicts newer machines more 
than the older ones, in my experience, perhaps because the former have been 
tested more (by all).

OK, one thing to check:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=300
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x
/usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :)
video=1366x768
resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/281d4971-32b6-47e0-96a2-9bdc998a9b1c"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false"

Does yours have the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX  ??
The resume= setting is necessary to hibernate.
Once you set up this file , you will need to run
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and reboot, and hibernate and reboot again.

P.S: you must reboot into same OS you hibernated.

I should perhaps have mentioned that hibernation was working (almost)
perfectly up until a couple of kernel updates ago. I say "almost"
because Bluetooth sometimes recovers and sometimes doesn't, but the
same happens with suspend/resume so I don't think that's relevant.

I compared my current /etc/default/grub file with the oldest backup I
have, dated some time in June, and they are identical. In any case,
this is what's in it:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] 
&& /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rhgb quiet 
resume=UUID=1431e6d2-531e-46cd-8633-1cf878c6b2a1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

I note that the last line has "true" instead of "false", so maybe it
shouldn't have worked before and now is failing correctly ...

Yes - that must be it.
Have you changed it to false, and run
grub2-mkconfig

Same here: jd1008 appears to not have followed the thread, but yes, I (and 
others discussing this) have all this done but hibernate (sometimes, quite 
frequently now) fails. The fact that it goes in and comes back sometimes should 
indicate that this is set correctly. Btw, the last line has no effect because 
it does not work (yet) and is ignored: it is a bug somewhere on BZ.

what I do it will not register with firefox (switch tabs, try to click on
link, etc.).

I can switch and move windows, and terminal and other programs recognize
the input without problems.

I am using Fedora 24, XFCE ( but I think something similar happened also
with KDE.
Linux 4.7.4-200
Firefox 48.01

How can I start troubleshooting this?

I should perhaps have mentioned that hibernation was working (almost)
perfectly up until a couple of kernel updates ago. I say "almost"
because Bluetooth sometimes recovers and sometimes doesn't, but the
same happens with suspend/resume so I don't think that's relevant.

I compared my current /etc/default/grub file with the oldest backup I
have, dated some time in June, and they are identical. In any case,
this is what's in it:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x 
/usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rhgb 
quiet resume=UUID=1431e6d2-531e-46cd-8633-1cf878c6b2a1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

I note that the last line has "true" instead of "false", so maybe it
shouldn't have worked before and now is failing correctly ...

I saw it once or twice.
The reason was (in my case) that when I hibernated, I had USB devices
hooked up.
When I rebooted without plugginf in those devices, it behaved exactly as
you describe.

That's not the case in my setup. All USB devices have remained plugged

Same here. The problem is machine-dependent and afflicts newer machines more

OK, one thing to check:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=300
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x

video=1366x768 
resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/281d4971-32b6-47e0-96a2-9bdc998a9b1c"

GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false"

Does yours have the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX  ??
The resume= setting is necessary to hibernate.
Once you set up this file , you will need to run
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and reboot, and hibernate and reboot again.

P.S: you must reboot into same OS you hibernated.

Magic indeed! I tried these tips actually, but it did not seem to make much of 
a difference. I guess I will try and get the potions right.

Is there any long-term advantage to install on EFI? I do not have Windoze 
installed and I do no want it on the machine.

I seem to know about EFI even less than I do about Windoze.

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Re: Gnome shell high memory usage

2016-09-24 Thread Andre Robatino
> What version of Fedora are you using?

F24 x86_64 (clean install). It doesn't use that much memory for me - I have 16 
GB, and after a day or so it gets to as high as 2%, restarting gets it down to 
about 0.8%. I got into the habit when the machine had less memory and it would 
get up to around 10%. My original post was just to mention restarting, in case 
the OP was unaware of it - it's easy to do, unlike logging out or rebooting. 
Even if it used a lot more, I wouldn't bother changing desktops because of it, 
unless it got wedged somehow if I forgot to restart.

I am not sure at all! I did not find any docs on this subject... I also
use math-latex input method and the corresponding  mim file is in
/usr/share/m17n and png file in /usr/share/m17n/icons. As the math-latex
keyboard is displayed, I thought that it was the correct way to do this.

As it does not work for my new files, I am wondering if there is
something like gtk-update-icon-cache to update the ibus icons?

FWIW, google "asus r503u disable uefi" and you'll find how to disable uefi for 
ASUS

installing Fedora 24 on (originally) efi systems

2016-09-24 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Hi,

I have an ASUS R503U which originally came with a Windoze8.1 installation. I 
have no need for it so I scrapped it. I also, consequently have no need for EFI.

I was wondering if it is required for me to install Fedora 24 on an EFI system. 
I can not seem to get out of EFI so maybe what I am looking to do is not 
possible. Is it possible to do the same in an old grub setup.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Yes, this has been a problem for a while on Fedora 24. Funnily this is not a 
problem for the machines where I did not install Fedora 24 from scratch, but 
upgraded (from Fedora 23), but it may generally also be a consequence of 
architecture. However, two machines of the same kind (I think Dell Latitude 
E6400 or so), one installed from scratch and the other upgraded, have 
dissimilar results, so it is a strange observation. One my Dell XPS 13 which I 
also upgraded, I also have no issues.

I usually: "kill nm-applet" and start "nm-applet" again from the command line, 
especially if I need to move from one location to another and need to find new 
wifis (or the need to use vpn connection from NM). Otherwise, I ignore it. Your 
solution is one command and thus simpler.

Thanks again!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Are you sure that is the way you should be done?

I ask this since I use bopomofo for Chinese and ibus-anthy for Japanese

Thanks, Christian,

Looks like I'm suffering from the bug that was reported years ago, I am
running the vanilla shell that exists in Fedora 24, looks like I will have
to use an alternate Desktop Environment because I don't know why the
gnome-shell has such horrible memory management that can consume up 6GB
based on my experience, can't recall seeing it on F23 though.

Thanks again for your response, highly appreciated.

I can access this new input method in ibus preferences, but the icon of

Only a gear is displayed.

Does anybody know if there is some icon database to update for m17n?

That's not the case in my setup. All USB devices have remained plugged

Scoff!  Only if they admit that they're doing it the wrong way.

I gave up on Gnome when they made a desktop look like a tablet computer
display, and they ploughed on with that stupid design philosophy despite
all the complaints.  I went over to using the Mate fork, instead, and
it's far better (for me).  However, the login screen still uses Gnome
shell, and that makes the computer grind to a halt, all by itself,
particularly when its screensaver kicks in (just a static graphic of a
pretty picture).  On computers that are left running all the time, I
periodically have to cold boot them (or go through a lot more malarkey),
to make them stop behaving like a 486 with 2 megs of RAM.
