I have installed the previous version of libdrm, and will try to see if I can reproduce it, after the next reboot. As an added information, I've found that using the channel popup-menus in X-Chat is a pretty surefire way of provoking the fault, so it should be easy enough to see if the behaviour changes. -- //Wegge -- 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?

Fedora on systemd-nspawn container - ML best practice
I started running Fedora server on a systemd-nspawn container. I am wondering what is the best practice when an issue occurs: - send to Fedora user ML - send to systemd-devel ML - send both with CC I am afraid that when sending to only one list I will be told to ask the other one, thus wasting time between the two lists. On the other hand, CC to both lists can be viewed as spam. From a user point of view, best would be to post to both lists as long as the issue can come from systemd-nspawn functionality or Fedora. use case: after install, boot, upgrade Fedora container, network is down in container (when it used to work to install some new packages). Thank you for advice about ML posting. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx -- 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?

RE: WiFi restoration
With only ten feet away, drop of signal because of distance isn't a serious consideration. However, what Tim wrote does: If there is another modem operation on the same frequency, it will cause interference (like the old moiré patterns from physics-class) If they use hidden ssid, it might be a bit harder to detect, but, moving them 4 channels up/down might be helpful, just like moving to the 5GHz band: - those signals dampens more when they travel, thus causing less interference - on the 5GHz band, you can use consecutive channels with less problems, on 2.4 you have serious overlap.

You could be in a dead spot for wireless reception - reflections of signals around the room you're in merge and cancel out where your computer's antenna is located. Try moving position a bit. I can produce this sort of problem when just a couple of feet from an access point. You could be using the same WiFi channel as a neighbour, and the clash of each others signals messes up yours. Try changing your access point's channel. I've had that problem, too. Changing channels made a world of difference. I wish the interface that shows your nearby networks that you use to pick the one you wanted showed what channels were in use, rather than having to use some other debugging tool. It'd make setting up your wireless LANs a lot easier. Some access points have an automatic option for them to pick which channel to use. Mine always automatically picked the worst one to use. Logically speaking, it'd be scanning nearby networks, and avoiding channels that are in use; or, for where they're all in use, opting to re-use the channel with the weakest signal, presuming that it was the furthest one away. However, there's a fundamental flaw with this process - the access point can only determine best and worst channels for itself, your clients are in other locations, and which already-in-use channels are stronger and weaker, for them, will probably be a different set of channels than the access point's. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.4-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 13 22:20:50 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

Serial port bug?
Hi, I found a weird behavior, I don't know if it is a bug. On my codes I usually look into "/dev/serial/by-id/" to list available serial ports. I discovered that when I use two FT2232(USB to dual serial port) I only see the last connected chip not both. If look into "/dev/serial/by-path/" I see all of them and also into "/sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/". Example: [jeandet@machin opt]$ ls -al /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 28 avril 10:40 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 28 avril 10:40 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 28 avril 10:35 ttyUSB0 -> ../../../devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2.2/1-2.2:1.0/ttyUSB0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 28 avril 10:35 ttyUSB1 -> ../../../devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2.2/1-2.2:1.1/ttyUSB1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 28 avril 10:35 ttyUSB2 -> ../../../devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/ttyUSB2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 28 avril 10:35 ttyUSB3 -> ../../../devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.1/ttyUSB3 [jeandet@machin opt]$ ls -al /dev/serial/by-id/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 28 avril 10:32 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 28 avril 10:32 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 usb-FTDI_Dual_RS232-HS-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 usb-FTDI_Dual_RS232-HS-if01-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB3 [jeandet@machin opt]$ ls -al /dev/serial/by-path/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 28 avril 10:32 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 28 avril 10:32 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 pci-:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 pci-:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.1-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 pci-:00:14.0-usb-0:2.2:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 avril 10:32 pci-:00:14.0-usb-0:2.2:1.1-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB1 Should I consider that as a bug?

Cross-posting is not particularly popular, so I'd avoid it. I know. If it's nspawn related it's probably best to keep it on the systemd ML. Consider using using systemd-networkd in the container and on the host. If so the network should just work between them. I will as systemd- networkd already manage my network on the host. Btw, as fedora will act as a server, i will need a fix ip, get rid of ebtables and firewalld in container (kernel is built with apparmor and grsec) etc etc. Lot of work Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat -- 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?

Tainted kernels

I'd like to check again, and check it on my desktop as well because I know the desktop's kernel is tainted by kmod-nvidia, and that would give me a good way to compare a known-tainted kernel with my laptop's.

For what I think the OP wants, he'd need something like a Mimo USB-based LCD device--not a tablet. I have one of these Mimo devices and it does sorta look like a tablet. It is merely a small LCD that interfaces via USB. It works--not great, but it works. I haven't futzed with it in a while (probably since F19) and it needed an xorg.conf file with it configured as the primary display (ugh!). The login prompt and desktop displayed on the Mimo and I had to drag stuff to the big monitor to read it. Not ideal. I have the xorg.conf file here in my hot little hands if you want to see it. I never optimized it, it was more an exercise in a "can I get the beblistered thing to work?"-form of self torture with the result best summarized as, "Well, yes I can...but it hurts too much!" -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - Charter Member of the American Society of Curmudgeons- -- -- 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?

With close distances, it's usually signal reflections, that mess up a signal, rather than signal losses. The reflections can add together in bad ways, and cancel out, or seriously mess up the signal. You can also get signal overload causing strange things. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.5-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 20:28:39 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
