First, check the file /home/dave/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log for the complete 
Xorg
log.  Looking for EE lines

On all of my systems that file doesn't exist since everything is determined by 
the
kernel.  That line doesn't even appear in my Xorg.0.log.  So, maybe try starting
without that file in place.  What does it contain?

F27. KDE worked in both F25 and F26 but had the same problem once
I got to F27. I did it again and stopped at F26 to have a working
system.

The other system is a modern 64-bit desktop with 8GB RAM. This one
still has the problem. I'd like to find the cause and a solution
before I make the effort to revert to F26 because this one has
a huge amount of local content which I would have to backup and
restore. (I do backups but more for recovery of individual files;
a general recovery could have other problems.)

KDE doesn't start after upgrade to Fedora 27

[Dave Close]

I have two systems that were recently upgraded from Fedora 26 to 27
using DNF system-upgrade. Both were successfully running a KDE desktop
for several generations previously, including on F26. In both cases,
after the upgrade, starting KDE showed the splash screen and then
a blank screen with only a pointer cursor. The keyboard and mouse
worked but the screen remained blank. Both systems are set to start
in systemd's multi-user mode; KDE is started with the startx command.

One of the systems is a 32-bit laptop with little local content. I

F27. KDE worked in both F25 and F26 but had the same problem once

I suppose the question would be.   You bought the gear from Armcrest?  What
specifically are you worried about?   And, if you bought your gear from Armcrest
wouldn't they be the ones to answer your concerns?  Nothing you've said would 
seem to

https://bugzilla.redhat.com is the place for this sort of
issue.  There's a handy shortcut to find bugs for a given
package at bugz.fedoraproject.org.  I started here:

http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/system-config-kickstart

This shows one open bug for the package:

unable to install system-config-kickstart
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465684

It was filed for Fedora 26, but it's noted by another user
that it also affects Fedora 27.  If you have a bugzilla
account already, you can login and add yourself to the Cc
list for the bug so you can get updates.  (If you don't have
an account already, they're free to create.)

Internet camera connection -

I bought twoptz cameras which can be viewed and controlled with the 
family iPhonesand of course they would like to use the "Armcrest" 
cloud/server in order to view them while away during the day. The 
cameras would connect to my LAN and via my router to the Viasat modem. I 
have always tried to avoid such connections to my system and doing this 
is worrisome.

First, get a list of the connections, such as:

sudo nmcli connection showOR
sudo nmcli connection show --active (for only active ones)

and locate the connection you wish to modify, then:

sudo nmcli connection modify --temporary  gateway 

should change it temporarily. If you omit the "--temporary", it should
make a permanent change.

The command is buried in the nmcli man page, but the parameters are
hidden in the nm-settings(5) man page under the "ipv4" section.

There is a copr for wireguard in Fedora, but I build it from source.

You could also use a VPN service such as NordVPN that a) obfuscates your
browsing history and 2) doesn't censor stuff. They're running a deal
right now, a 2 year plan for $3.29/month US ($79 US billed every 24 months).

I'm not shilling for Nord. It's just a fairly reliable site to use. I'm
sure there are others that may be even cheaper (or free).

These are when the route is up normally after a DHCP.

I have managed to do this now by hardcoding the route on the next boot.
I think the issue must be NetworkManager doing something more than it used

Since NetworkManager was?is managing that interface did you try using

not obvious in the man page how to do this. Will have a look to see how 
to do that.


Certainly up to Fedora25 changing the default route, temporarily, with 
"route del default; route add default ..." worked.

Since NetworkManager was?is managing that interface did you try using
nmcli conn modify or nmcli con edit to set the route in the connection
profile?

I'm curious where you are that has such an unusual topic filter. :-)

So, I would like to know if there are members on this list who know how 
to get around

such blocking by these hotspots? Are there FF add-ons that can do it?


The easiest way that I usually use is the proxy feature in ssh.  Connect 
to a remote ssh server and add the "-D " option.  This creates 
a socks proxy at localhost: which you can configure in the 
network settings.  All http connections will get tunnelled out through 
the remote server.  By default, Firefox will use the system-defined 
proxy setting.  I also have a Gnome extension (Jam-proxy switcher) that 
gives me an icon on the top bar for easily switching between using the 
proxy or not and quick access to the network settings.

Problem browsing at some hotspots

[JD]

Hi all,
some hotspots are censoring many websites which they find offensive or 
objectionable,
including websites that discuss evolution and the possible changes that 
can occur
due to the current weakening of Earth's magnetic field, and the 
expanding south atlantic

hole in the magnetic field... This is just one example.

So, I would like to know if there are members on this list who know how 
to get around

such blocking by these hotspots? Are there FF add-ons that can do it?

Thanx!!

Re: Testers for LCD Panel Self Refresh on laptops with Intel graphics wanted

Hi All,

For the "Improved Laptop Battery Life" feature:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedLaptopBatteryLife

I'm working on for Fedora 28 I would like to also try and enable
Panel Self Refresh on laptops with Intel graphics, some quick tests
have shown this to save another 0.5W (when idle / nothing on the
screen changes). This is currently off be default because it is
known to cause issues on some devices. So I think we will probably
need a white- or black-list. But first we need more data on this.

If you can spare 10 minutes, please see my blogpost for how to test
this and send me a mail with the info request in the blogpost:
https://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/18653.html



I suspect that the results may be odd.  After falling into a rabbit
hole when I tried to do this test, I learned a few things about the
i915 driver's PSR support:

  - Intel doesn't currently have any working CI coverage for PSR.

  - There's an Intel person who seems to be actively trying to fix PSR.

  - PSR on 4.15 on newish hardware (at least Skylake) is completely broken.

  - There are other known bugs.

So I'm not sure that trying to tabulate PSR functionality based on
panel type seems like it may be the wrong approach.


Thank you for your poking around wrt this. Can you send me an (off-list)
email with the contact info for the Intel person you are talking about,
before spending more time on this I would like to touch base with him/her.

Regards,

Hans

That's good for you.  But I'm still curious about what was failing. :-)
