Another two reports: one on a Ryzen TR 2950X/6900XT with no issues, the second 
is a 12th Gen Intel 12900K mobile (Dell XPS 9720) that has been hard locking 
since 6.0 came out on Fedora workstation. Pretty normal default install, I am 
running in X11 to placate the nVidia driver gods but that's about it. UEFI 
install as well, BIOS support turned to disabled.

Granted I've had a lot of issues out of 12th Gen Intel mobile and Linux in 
general, particularly with audio and the Intel Xe graphics but the hard lock 
requiring the power button press is a new one. I'll see if I can figure out 
what triggers it.

GNOME 40 mouse lag

2021-06-25 Thread Leander Hutton via users
Has anyone else been seeing some GNOME 40 animation freezes and lags? I have a 
Dell 9310 XPS (11th Gen i7/16GB of RAM) and with animations enabled the mouse 
cursor will sometimes freeze and lag. Strangely I have access to a Dell 9300 
(10th Gen i7) running FL34 and it's fine. I'm not running TLP on mine and I've 
wiped it to make sure I didn't have some weird old config in place. The mouse 
will just quit responding and suddenly "jump" to catch up at times, it even 
does this when the machine is not under load. The 9300 has a 4K screen and the 
9310 has a 1200p screen so if anything I think the 9310 should be more lag-free 
with the faster CPU/GPU and less pixels to push around. 

I don't think it's a hardware problem since it's fine in GNOME 3.38 when I 
tried Debian and FL33 on here. I've been running Linux on this machine 
exclusively. I thought about leaving it on Debian but I'd like to use Fedora 
due to PipeWire and the better BT audio codec support. I know there are some 
forth coming performance enhancements for the GNOME 40 series too. 

Just wondering if anyone else has similar hardware and has seen similar quirks. 

Thanks!

XPS 13 2-in-1 Fedora Linux 34 Tablet Mode

2021-03-19 Thread Leander Hutton via users
Hell all, I have a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 that I've upgraded to the FL34 beta to 
test on and it's tablet mode no longer works. 

Standard workstation version with GNOME 40. The option in the top right menu 
for orientation lock is gone, folding the machine over in half does not cause 
it to switch into tablet mode like it did in Fedora 33. Screen rotation doesn't 
work at all anymore. I'm running Wayland in both cases (33 and 34).

Anyone else with a similar style machine (Lenovo Yoga comes to mind) and 34 
having luck with switching to tablet mode? Are there additional packages needed 
for convertibles now in GNOME 40? It's always worked right out of the box with 
Fedora since I've had the machine. As far as I can tell iio-sensor-proxy is 
running and monitor-sensor shows it detecting orientation changes, GNOME 40 
just doesn't react to them. 

Thanks!

Suggest plasma-breeze as a dependency for Kdenlive?

2020-11-10 Thread Leander Hutton via users
Hello all, I've been using the KDE spin for years but recently decided to 
install the GNOME workstation version on a laptop but I still use some KDE 
apps, most notably Kdenlive and DigiKam. I've noticed Kdenlive does not install 
plasma-breeze as a dependency and as a result looks a bit bad in GNOME. 
Obviously not a big deal in Plasma as the Breeze theme is installed by default. 
The bad look of the default behavior might turn some off from using the 
application.

I believe the Kdenlive RPM is from RPMFusion and is not in the base repos. Does 
anyone know how to maybe suggest this change to the RPMFusion folks? 

Thanks!

KDE Plasma "For only this specific display arrangement"

2020-09-02 Thread Leander Hutton via users
Hello all, is the "For only this specific display arrangement" in the KDE 
Plasma spin of F32 actually functional? I have 15" HiDPI laptop that I dock 
with a Thunderbolt dock to a non-HiDPI external display. Since this machine has 
an nVidia card (not my first choice just what I ended up with) I'm stuck on an 
X11 session so mixed DPI isn't going to really work. I scale my internal 
display at 175% and the external at 100%. 

I thought the solution would be to disable the internal display and just have 
the external on while docked. I've tried configuring the internal display to 
175% and checking the "For only this specific display arrangement" radio button 
while un-docked and configuring the external display connected and internal 
disabled with that box checked but it never seems to actually work. As soon as 
I disconnect from the docking station the internal display re-enables as it 
should be it's still scaled at 100%. Even restarting doesn't fix it, I have to 
change it again in the display setting and reboot. Happens the other direction 
too, if I reconnect to the dock the internal display disables and the external 
display is still scaled at 175% until I rescale and reboot. 

GNOME will remember these settings even on X11 but GNOME doesn't do fractional 
scaling so I lose a good bit of real estate on the internal display at 2x. My 
next option seems like xrandr. Anyone else get this option to work in the 
Plasma spin? 

Thanks!

Interesting, confirmed the problem still exists on my machine on
5.4.10-200.fc31.x86_64 and 5.4.8-200.fc31.x86_64 just now. The previous

Kernel 5.4 iwlwifi firmware

2020-01-17 Thread Leander Hutton via users
I'm running Fedora 31 on my laptop with a Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 network
card. Under 5.3 kernel series my card worked fine but I've noticed that
under the 5.4 series the firmware fails to load with the following
kernel message:

iwlwifi :00:14.3: enabling device ( -> 0002)

iwlwifi :00:14.3: Start IWL Error Log Dump:

It then produces a longish error dump probably better suited for a
bugtracker than a mail list. I can provide it here if that's help though!

Booting back into any of the 5.3 kernels does not produce this error and
the card works fine, all three released 5.4 kernels for F31 have done
this so far. dnf reports my system as up-to-date and I have the
available iwlwifi firmware packages installed. It looks like they just
aren't updated for the 5.4 kernel or something? I know I can head to
kernel.org, grab the firmware tarball and extract it to /lib/firmware
but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Anyone else with this card having issues?

Thanks!

Indeed it looks like I did, just figured it out. Looks like one of the
RPMs from the amdgpu-pro driver I was trying to extract (and apparently
accidentally installed) for OpenCL before giving up and going over to
ROCm left a configuration in /etc/dracut.conf.d looking for the amdkfd
module that wasn't there. Removed that file, re-ran dracut and I'm
successfully in the new kernel.

Kernel 5.0.17 Vega failing on boot.

2019-05-24 Thread Leander Hutton
Hello, I have an AMD Ryzen with a Vega 56 graphics card running Fedora
30 and the 5.0.17 update the graphics output seems to just die after
grub. Rolled back to the previous kernel (5.0.16) in grub and it comes
up just fine. No errors or logs ... just sits there at the ASRock logo
on screen after selecting the kernel. From what I can tell it is
actually installed. Tried runlevel 1 and 3 as well and it does the same
thing. The kernel works fine on my laptop but that's an Intel machine.

Standard grub command line arguments except amddgpu.gpu_recovery=1 for
the Vega card. I did also try it with that removed and still no go. I
can SSH into it just fine but the screen is just sitting there with the
BIOS manufacturer's logo, nothing telling in dmesg or /var/log/messages
and it doesn't set off abrt.

I'm running a pretty standard Fedora system with only some codecs and
non-free software from rpmfusion. The only other thing I changed
recently was adding the ROCm for OpenCL image support on my Radeon card.
I removed those after I noticed this issue and reran dracut to no avail,
reinstalled the kernel and all related packages as well. Nothing.

Anyway, looks like I really loused something up. Luckily the older
kernel still works fine. Any other ideas out there? Maybe the ROCm
packages left something behind (removed with dnf remove)?

Thanks!

borgbackup on Fedora 30

2019-05-06 Thread Leander Hutton
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Just a heads up for anyone using borg to do backup on F30, it seems to have a 
problem with one of its dependencies that causes the program to fail. 
Python3-msgpack is the issue. Doing a dnf downgrade to the F29 version 
(python3-msgpack-0.5.6-5.fc29.x86_64.rpm) looks to be a functional workaround 
for now. 

Thanks.

Did some comparing between the Debian version of usb.h and Fedora. The
usb.h on Debian included sys/param.h and the Fedora version omits this.

sys/param.h then includes sys/types.h, so that was indeed the underlying
cause. Shoving that include in place on the RawHID common include
Soarer's Converter bundles did allow it to be compiled on F29.

I guess I need to figure out how to keep up with this since I don't
think anyone's maintaining the Linux version of this utility anymore.

Many thanks! Now off to use my very old and very loud keyboard!

Missing typdefs and usb.h for Soarer's Converter

2019-03-29 Thread Leander Hutton
I'm trying to compile Soarer's Converter on Fedora 29 and running into
typedef problems. This is a somewhat old utility for programming USB
converters for old terminal and XT keyboards based on an Arduino Teensy.
More info here on that here:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=17458.0

I have libusb-devel installed and /usr/include/usb.h and
/usr/include/stdint.h are both present. Running the included makefile
for the Linux build just dumps unknown type name errors for u_int8_t and
u_int16_t:

/usr/include/usb.h:81:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
  u_int8_t  bLength;
  ^~~~
/usr/include/usb.h:82:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
  u_int8_t  bDescriptorType;
  ^~~~
/usr/include/usb.h:87:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
  u_int8_t  bLength;
  ^~~~

Tested compiling the code on Debian and Ubuntu with the equivalent
libraries installed and it produces the binaries just fine, so I must be
missing something on the Fedora procedure. It's almost like it's missing
the stdint.h header but I've verified it's present. The binaries I
compiled on the Debian install even work just fine on F29 which leads me
to believe I'm just missing a -devel package needed to compile it.
Thought maybe it needed the avr-libc package and it's headers but that
didn't seem to help.

Unfortunately the original person who wrote this code has long since
vanished but Teensy stuff is pretty popular so I thought it'd be worth a
shot to ask here! I haven't messed with any other Teensy code myself.

Thanks!

RHEL and Debian Stable take the same path. Stable, mostly just security
fixes during a release's lifeftime, etc. I usually prefer Debian in
server environments but at work we have quite a few RHEL machines too,
it's the popular choice for proprietary software vendors to target
because it's long lived and slow moving. Debian Stable and RHEL are both
very handy in situations where things absolutely positively cannot break.

I imagine IBM is mostly interested in OpenShift, JBoss and CoreOS. But
that's just a guess on my part. While I'm not a fan of IBM's business
practices and I've heard nothing good about the corporate culture I'm
not entirely doom and gloom on this. The thing is it's hard to kill GPL
software, if they do ignore it, try to close off parts, etc it will most
likely just get forked like Maria and LibreOffice did after Oracle
bought Sun.

Hopefully IBM will keep paying the RH devs that contribute to the kernel
and other Linux related projects. If they shut those folks down it will
have wider implications on the Linux ecosystem in general. Red Hat devs
make a lot of contributions to projects outside of RHEL and Fedora.

Yup, know all about Unicomp. I restore Model Ms as a hobby and have one
of Unicomp's black/white/gray UltraClassic USB models too. Bought quite
a few parts from them to do repairs on old abused Ms.

Red Hat owns and funds a lot of projects. I use Ansible on a daily basis
(along with Fedora). I wonder what's going to happen with those. GNOME
is largely funded by RH IIRC too, I use KDE these days myself. Depending
on what products of Red Hat's IBM is interested in there could be some
forking here soon. Of course IBM could also let Red Hat be Red Hat and
just collect the checks. Who knows right now.

Feels weird man. Love me some IBM buckling spring keyboards (typing this
on a '86 Model M) but I don't want them in my OS.

Replacing email list for users with a web forum software called Discourse, what's your opinion?

Discourse, Discord or Slack are what everyone seem to be clustering
around these days. The main thing I like about mailing lists and even to
some extent IRC is it's a bit more decentralized and is easily locally
archived. They're also built around a standard or protocol instead of an
individual product so it's fairly easy to migrate data from one
machine/client/place/whatever to another. What happens to all the
Discourse posts when the next HotNewThing(TM) comes along? Will all the
questions, answers and interactions vanish?

I'm a bit of an odd ball for a young person in that I still host my own
mail. While I'm not terribly active on here I'd be even less so on
Discourse most likely.

I ran into the same blank screen bug a while back on KDE spin of Fedora
with a Precision 7720 (Quadro P3000/Intel Graphics). I finally figured
out that adding the following options to /etc/sddm/Xsetup file and
leaving graphics switching on in the BIOS allowed SDDM to start normally
with the nVidia drivers:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

I haven't seen that suggested yet in the thread, if it has and I've
overlooked it my apologizes.

Radeon driver in 4.14.18

2018-02-14 Thread Leander Hutton
I'm currently running F27 KDE with a Radeon Pro WX7100 and the open source 
amdgpu drivers. After a kernel update from 4.14.14 to 4.14.18 my video card is 
no longer recognized. I'm seeing this in my Xorg.0.log:

[ 6.640] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 6.640] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 6.641] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
[ 6.641] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
[ 6.641] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[ 6.641] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[ 6.892] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

3D acceleration and multihead support do not work. Rebooting back into kernel 
4.14.14 fixes the problem, the card is recognized again and all of the features 
work. It looks like the module for the amdgpu driver isn't there in the newer 
kernel maybe? I'm running the stock kernels from the official F27 repos. 

Thanks!
