This isn't related to a service, but is throwing out an spurious error message. There is a patch but it hasn't made it's way yet into the Fedora kernel:
rt_cmos registration error: rhbz#1568276 Basically an error is being thrown because your system doesn't have battery backup. To their credit, it was quickly identified and patched. We now just have to wait for the patch to be applied. However these: The mcelog.service message is associated with rhbz#1166978 The dbxtool.service message is associated with rhbz#1508808 The rngd.service message is associated with rhbz#1490632 At least for me are the result of services being enabled by default, that should never have been enabled for my environment. mcelog: I am using an AMD processor. This service only applies to Intel. dbxtool: I am not using SecureBoot. This service only applies to machines using SecureBoot. rngd: I am not using a machine that has a hardware RNG generator Again, if we are apparently so concerned about a streamlined user experience, why are we starting processes that aren't needed - and in fact are not appropriate for a particular environment, and then throwing out error messages which are spurious and confusing? In my case, this caused me to spend hours individually tracking down all these error messages to find out that there is nothing wrong with my environment. Instead the issue is these services are inappropriately started for EVERYBODY - and in one case have been languishing for years. Last time I checked, Fedora wasn't an Intel only, SecureBoot only, mandatory hardware RNG generator environment. If we truly are concerned about end user experience - this isn't the way to go about it. On Tue, Jun 19, 2018 at 10:54 PM, Gerald B.
