Yes, Fedora does provide intel and amd x86 processor microcode updates.
(in linux-firmware (amd (/lib/firmware/amd-ucode), and intel
(microcode-ctl) (/lib/firmware/intel-ucode)) And it uses linux early
microcode way of loading microcode (It is prepended (at least I think
it is) to initramfs):

[bgrubic@quad ~]$ cpio -t -F initramfs-4.11.3-300.fc26.x86_64.img 
.
early_cpio
kernel
kernel/x86
kernel/x86/microcode
kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
58 blocks

Also on boot (kernel log) you possibly can see something like this:

[0.00] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xba,
date = 2010-10-03
[0.810945] microcode: sig=0x6fb, pf=0x10, revision=0xba
[0.811007] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.

Is there a standard way to run cpucontrol? There doesn't seem to be an
rc.d script.



There is an rc script installed with this port:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/devcpu-data/files/microcode_update.in?view=markup

The answer is here: this replica has never been able to send a sucessful

Hi, 

I have no experience with that specific hardware, but maybe you can try
stable re-spins[1] (live/installable images with current updates).
Maybe it's a good balance between F25 final and F26/F27 (pre-
release/dev), and it should have 4.10.x kernel.

For completeness, if someone searches later, it turns out that the -a /
--all option to systemctl doesn't really mean *all* service files.  To
get a list of all unit files for services it is necessary to use the
list-unit-files command,
systemctl list-unit-files
Doing that shows that packagekit is the name for the PackageKit
program, and masking that works as Samuel said.

From the FAQ at this address

...
Does TLP conflict with other power management tools like
laptop-mode-tools, Jupiter, etc.?

Yes. There can only be one, so don't use two tools for the same purpose
simultaneously.

Hint: Powertop isn't a power management tool, so the former doesn't
apply to it, refer to the powertop section.

Get someone else to do the mind-numbing work of figuring out
which versions of which libraries are compatible together
and use their solution. All the linux multimedia projects
seem to thrive on making incompatible changes every 15 or 20
minutes (and they all depend on each other :-).

You could probably even use it in fedora by unpacking the ISO
and using lots of PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables
(or if that doesn't work, use chroot).

Re: Video editing disaster

Recently, I had some  (not too extensive) sessions in video editing - 
cutting an mp4 file, adding some transitions, recode to mp4 again, 
without a single crash, using

Flowblade.

I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully 
updated.  The packages
are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms.  My 
main system is an

older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it.

  Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg
  Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD):   .MTS

KDENLIVE:
My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files.  I keep getting 
"clip is invalid".

The terminal outputs:

mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so
  (/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol

I think there is a lib miss-match.

PITIVI:
Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running.  Multiple core dumps.

OPENSHOT:

I really love OpenShot.  I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed 
all the time,
for example when trying transitions.  I also tried the latest version 
via AppImage:


  OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage

This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with 
transitions, adding

an MP3 file for audio, etc.

Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to 
run one of these

in a stable platform?

Note, I am filing bug reports on many of these crashes

OK, thanks. I just checked and /usr/sbin is in the PATH for 
both root and users by default. The only change I made there 
is to add ./local/bin for users (me).

That's not true any more; Nowadays normal users have /usr/sbin/ in
their path, and /sbin/ is a symlink to /usr/sbin...

I never heard of 'who' ;-) Unfortunately, it is true: I ran 
'su -' and then who in another tab and in a different terminal 
emulator and it showed no root nor me as root, just me.

Well, root tends to have /sbin which "normal" users don't
have by default. There may be others, also there can be
aliases and such in root's .bash_profile which won't
show up without a login shell.

I was about to try that, but apparently they are timed

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?

[wwp]

Hello there,

(after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!)

I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron
N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has
not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then
tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could
reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of
time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not
friendly ;-).

Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must
admit that I don't know what to do now..

 
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRLivL9gydE=

BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily
(artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly -
and that gave me hope!

Any hint or experience w/ such hardware?

Regards,

Re: OT (?) installing JDeveloper

I replay to myself...

the problem was solved running the file as normal user and not as
administrator.

OT (?) installing JDeveloper

[Angelo Moreschini]

Hi

I would like use "Oracle JDevelopper"  on my computer, so
I downloaded the "installer" of Jdeveloper from site of Oracle .

This is the page of Oracle for the download:
--
Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition 12.2.1.2.0   This download is the complete
version of JDeveloper with all the features. This is the recommended
Download.

*Important Note* - *both files* are required for each platform to complete
the installation.   Windows (2.1GB)file1
,
file2

   Linux (2.1GB)file1,

file2

  Generic/Others(2.1GB)file1,
file2

--

After I downloaded the two recommended files, I had them in the directory
/home/ /Download of my computer.
I changed the attributes of them,   so I had

-rwxrwxrwx. 1 angelo_dev angelo_dev  302779189 May 27 11:59
jdev_suite_122120_linux64-2.zip
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 angelo_dev angelo_dev 2043993719 May 27 11:51
jdev_suite_122120_linux64.bin


After done this, I run the file .bin as administrator,
[root@localhost JDeveloper]# ./jdev_suite_122120_linux64.bin

*The installation seemed to have started :*
0%...100%
Launcher log file is
/tmp/OraInstall2017-05-28_03-06-44PM/launcher2017-05-28_03-06-44PM.log.
Extracting the installer . . . . . Done
The current user is root or has superuser privilege.

*but it was not finished successfully.*   I got the following message

The Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue.
The log is located here:
/tmp/OraInstall2017-05-28_03-06-44PM/launcher2017-05-28_03-06-44PM.log.


What happened wrong ??

What do do now ??

Regards

Angelo

Apologies for replying off-list, it was not intentional.

I was unaware of the "-i" option for sudo. Am reading online man pages
