 I haven't checked details this time, but there a quite a few reports

I haven't seen a single person report a dep issue of this nature, and I
spent most of release day in #fedora, and have been following G+,

Violated upgrade path issues still hit users. One example:

  R in F21 older than in F19
  https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2014-December/456108.html

Other users don't ask the Fedora Project but just give up and hope it
will work some months later (which isn't guaranteed either).

Okay, so the bg option is a little different from what most people
refer to as automounting, in that it just repeatedly attempts to mount
the share until it succeeds, whereas true automounting waits until you
attempt to access the mount to even try to mount it.  Of course, this
distinction matters very little to _you_, but it might indicate what
systemd is getting wrong here.

I'm curious as to whether systemd even tracks the mount properly in
this case.  Does `systemctl status mnt-backup.mount` indicate success
or failure?

If it indicates success, systemd definitely should be tearing down the
mount on shutdown.  (systemd by design is supposed to reverse
Before/After deps for stop operations.)  Definitely file a bug in this
instance.

If it indicates failure, systemd isn't getting informed that this
mount actually succeeds.  You could file a bug against systemd
regarding this, but their answer might just be use real automounting
if you want this to work properly. To do that, switch your bg mount
option for x-systemd.automount and see if it gets unmounted properly
on shutdown afterwards.

Their answer could just as easily be yeah, we need to fix this, so
please do file the bug anyway, if only for the benefit of others who
might run into this.

Fedora/Gnome3 : Display Problem on my hardware.

2014-12-12 Thread Madhurjya Roy
Hey guys,

My old  PC MoBo recently died and so, I built a  new PC with
the following hardware specification :

* Processor : AMD A4-6300K 3.7 GHz Dual Core APU with integrated
Radeon HD 8370D GPU

* MoBo : MSI A58M-E33

* RAM : 4 GB Corsair Value RAM 1600 MHz.

* HDD : 500 GB WD Caviar @ 7200 rpm

* Monitor : 19 inch Samsung SyncMaster at 1400 X 900 pixels @ 60-75 Hz
refresh rate

So, I went ahead and popped in the Fedora 21 Workstation Disc.
Anaconda worked well
and installed Fedora 21.

But as soon as I restarted my PC and logged in I found the desktop
flickering! I moved the mouse pointer and it flickered even more
vigorously and when I pulled through the activities hot corner, I
could barely see the icons, which appeared like distorted squares.

Somehow, I managed to open the terminal. All the text in the terminal
were clearly visible, I installed Xfce desktop and to my surprise it
worked fine, text and icon everything was clear and perfectly
usable. Next, I installed KDE and it worked as well. I really had trouble
understanding the wobbly widgety interface, though! So, I assumed the
problem is with Gnome 3.

I reinstalled the complete Gnome desktop and alas, the problem
persisted! I have used Fedora 20 for quite some time on my
laptop, so, I booted a live image of Fedora 20, that I had had flashed
onto a pen drive and still there was the same problem.

Frustrated, I gave up and installed Ubuntu, Unity worked well but
when I installed Gnome3, I was back where I was, running a completely
graphically distorted UI!

I've since changed many distros (without Gnome as DE) and all of them
worked fine. Windows 8.1 worked fluidly as well! I am currently using
Ubuntu 14.10 (with Unity as DE). I found it quite close to Gnome3.

However, I would still like to use Fedora and since, I'm using this as
a multimedia PC, so Gnome3 is still my preference.

From my observations, it seems to be a Gnome 3 hardware incompatibility issue.

I've tried changing refreshing rate, resolution and colour depth and
nothing could solve the issue! Even switching to the proprietary AMD
drivers didn't work out.

Should I file a bug report on BugZilla?

If anyone's got some idea, please help!

Thanks,
Madhurjya Roy

 Violated upgrade path issues still hit users. One example:
 
   R in F21 older than in F19

 Other users don't ask the Fedora Project but just give up and hope

That's not a dependency problem. Nothing breaks. The upgrade works, R 
probably still works, and the docs do suggest running a distro-sync 
after the upgrade if you want to resolve situations like that.

Of course it's not perfect, it's just that I'm not sure anyone's 
suggested an alternative that's *better* yet. The best combination of 
ideas I can see is this:

Use updates/ as a staging area during Branched freezes, and disallow 
pushes if the upgradepath would be violated versus stable and the 
packages currently *pending* for stable.

The thing with that is, I'm not sure it's even viable to write a test 
for that, the 'currently pending' part. Without it, you can't do a 
simultaneous push of an update to stable for all supported releases, 
because the upgradepath is violated for the older releases at the time 
you submit the update. If you want to push the same update to all 
three releases you have to submit it for the newest, wait a day for it 
to go stable, submit it for N-1, wait a day, submit it for N-2, wait a 
day - it's kind of impractical. We struggle enough already with 
getting updates actually shipped (see the updates-testing status mails 
with the list of un-pushed security updates).

(The other thing we could do is have fedup do distro-sync, but we've 
already got a whole bug report arguing about that.)

Shell will run fine without 3D acceleration, it'll just be a bit slow 
and use some CPU time. It wouldn't do *this*, though.

It's probably more a case of a bug in the radeon driver for the 
hardware in question which GNOME's rendering happens to hit, while the 
other desktops don't. I'd file the bug either against xorg-x11-drv-ati 
in RH Bugzilla or Product xorg, Component Driver/Radeon in

Re: Fedora/Gnome3 : Display Problem on my hardware.

2014-12-12 Thread Madhurjya Roy
Thank you for the response!

As a high school student, I'm no expert in the department but
shouldn't it be actually a GNOME3 shell bug, considering the fact that
the same driver worked when used with other DEs?

And if indeed, it's a driver problem, then the problem should lie
within AMD's main codebase. That'd explain the fact that even the
proprietary drivers couldn't resolve the issue.

I'm also wondering if the problem is in anyway associated with some
AMD CPUs in general! One of my friends, also noticed some occasional
minor distortions on his Debian (GNOME) system running an AMD Athlon
x64 4600+ processor with an old nVidia nForce integrated GPU.

Cheers,
Madhurjya Roy

 video acceleration. i've not personally experienced that, so I don't
 know if your symptoms are what actually occurs without 3D accel.

 Now, I know your AMD processor includes a Radeon video unit, so you
 SHOULD be getting 3d accel.

 however, if you didn't install AMD/ATI's proprietary driver for it,
 you're probably depending on the open source driver instead, and I
 suppose it simply may not work very well with that particular chip.

 As I said, I have no direct experience, so I may be all wet here.

 Shell will run fine without 3D acceleration, it'll just be a bit slow
 and use some CPU time. It wouldn't do *this*, though.

 It's probably more a case of a bug in the radeon driver for the
 hardware in question which GNOME's rendering happens to hit, while the
 other desktops don't. I'd file the bug either against xorg-x11-drv-ati
 in RH Bugzilla or Product xorg, Component Driver/Radeon in
 bugs.freedesktop.org , including the stuff described in
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems .

 That's not a dependency problem. Nothing breaks.

Really?  

Just comparing the RPM based dependencies in the builds for F20
and F21 reveals several changed SONAMEs. That is a broken dependency by
definition, because F21 does not provide the stuff that's required by
the F20 package.

Awesome, so now you have me running a test install of F20 with R just 
to see what happens in this situation. There's certainly no other way I
could be using my damn morning.

We seem to keep going in circles here. Here's what I'm contending:

* Any particular fedup test is only of value, regarding package 
upgrade path issues, for that particular day's compose of *both* the 
'from' distro *and* the 'to' distro. We started debating this last 
week, and there was at least one updates push for *both* F20 *and* F21 
between last week and the GA date. So 'failures' for fedup upgradepath 
last week were not necessarily failing on release day. Is it useful to 
catch upgradepath issues and then go to Bodhi, look into the state of 
the from and to distros, and try to help make sure they're consistent 
for release day? Of course it is. But with the way updates currently 
work, I think it's taking things too far to say that it's worthless to 
test upgrades against updates-testing, which was one place where we 
started this endless debate.

* The obvious way you can really 'solve' this 'problem' is to tighten 
down the updates policy, but that's not a free action. It *does* come 
with negative consequences and there *will* be pushback against it 
from packagers. Personally I am totally happy if anyone wants to come 
up with a comprehensive proposal for adjusting the updates policy and 
*take it to FESCo*, who own the updates policy. If someone comes up 
with such a proposal, we can even put it up for discussion on this 
list or in a QA meeting and decide if QA as a whole wants to back it 
in the FESCo discussion. But I'm just tired of going around in endless 
discussion, especially when no-one seems to acknowledge the issue just 
isn't as straightforward as 'oh well it's OBVIOUSLY wrong and we 
should OBVIOUSLY just have strict upgradepath enforcement'.

The other path you can take is to try and convince wwoods to have 
fedup do distro-sync. The bug reports for that are 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892061 and h
ttps://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/issues/21 . Given that wwoods filed 
https://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/issues/21 himself, I'm guessing he'd 
welcome a patch.

Likely not. As I wrote, it's most likely just that GNOME is exercising 
rendering paths the other desktops aren't. It uses OpenGL rather more 
in desktop rendering than most desktops do.

You can certainly choose to file a bug against a GNOME component if 
you like (I'd guess either gnome-shell, mutter, or clutter), I just 
suspect it'd get pinged around a couple of components and then they'd 
wind up telling you file a graphics driver bug...

Successful install of F21-Xfce on Lenovo x120e

2014-12-12 Thread Robert Moskowitz

Install went smoothly.  Took about an hour for a netinst from my local repo.

Was able to add local updates repo per Adam's instructions.

Yes, system got hot during install; both CPUs at max and who knows what 
else.  Still need to tear into the unit to see if the heatsink is on right.


No problems with nvram.  I suppose once this was fixed with a Fedora 
entry, nothing furture needed.


System boots up.  So now it will be moving everything over, installing 
all the stuff I had on my old system.  And submit bug reports on Xfce as 
I go (like turning off screen on lock).


Have a good weekend all.

FWIW, any UEFI Fedora install will remove and recreate the 'Fedora'

 And if indeed, it's a driver problem, then the problem should lie
 within AMD's main codebase. That'd explain the fact that even the
 proprietary drivers couldn't resolve the issue.
 
 I'm also wondering if the problem is in anyway associated with some
 AMD CPUs in general! One of my friends, also noticed some occasional
 minor distortions on his Debian (GNOME) system running an AMD Athlon
 x64 4600+ processor with an old nVidia nForce integrated GPU.

In that case it's not an AMD/ATI graphics processor, it's NVIDIA.
I've been running AMD CPUs with NVidia graphics cards for years
and haven't encountered such problems (though I have to admit that
I can't stand Gnome-3.x and use it only long enough to install Mate.)
I have, otoh, run Gnome-2.x on those systems for all those years and
can't say I've ever seen any such problem on them.

Apparently redhat-upgrade-tool (which appears to be a fork of fedup) doesn't
use distro-sync either, despite the fact that there is NO attempt to make sure
package versions in RHEL7 are greater than RHEL6, which leads to total carnage:

Re: Fedora/Gnome3 : Display Problem on my hardware.

2014-12-12 Thread Frederic Muller
Hi!

Does it look like something like this: http://snag.gy/AGPaq.jpg

I've started having the problem on F20 after a xorg update about 3 weeks
ago and it has stayed. I upgraded (new install though) to F21 to get the
same result unfortunately.

It's also a Radeon (HD 6770 though) card.

Thanks.

 Hey guys,
 
 My old  PC MoBo recently died and so, I built a  new PC with
 the following hardware specification :
 
 * Processor : AMD A4-6300K 3.7 GHz Dual Core APU with integrated
 Radeon HD 8370D GPU
 
 * MoBo : MSI A58M-E33
 
 * RAM : 4 GB Corsair Value RAM 1600 MHz.
 
 * HDD : 500 GB WD Caviar @ 7200 rpm
 
 * Monitor : 19 inch Samsung SyncMaster at 1400 X 900 pixels @ 60-75 Hz
 refresh rate
 
 So, I went ahead and popped in the Fedora 21 Workstation Disc.
 Anaconda worked well
 and installed Fedora 21.
 
 But as soon as I restarted my PC and logged in I found the desktop
 flickering! I moved the mouse pointer and it flickered even more
 vigorously and when I pulled through the activities hot corner, I
 could barely see the icons, which appeared like distorted squares.
 
 Somehow, I managed to open the terminal. All the text in the terminal
 were clearly visible, I installed Xfce desktop and to my surprise it
 worked fine, text and icon everything was clear and perfectly
 usable. Next, I installed KDE and it worked as well. I really had trouble
 understanding the wobbly widgety interface, though! So, I assumed the
 problem is with Gnome 3.
 
 I reinstalled the complete Gnome desktop and alas, the problem
 persisted! I have used Fedora 20 for quite some time on my
 laptop, so, I booted a live image of Fedora 20, that I had had flashed
 onto a pen drive and still there was the same problem.
 
 Frustrated, I gave up and installed Ubuntu, Unity worked well but
 when I installed Gnome3, I was back where I was, running a completely
 graphically distorted UI!
 
 I've since changed many distros (without Gnome as DE) and all of them
 worked fine. Windows 8.1 worked fluidly as well! I am currently using
 Ubuntu 14.10 (with Unity as DE). I found it quite close to Gnome3.
 
 However, I would still like to use Fedora and since, I'm using this as
 a multimedia PC, so Gnome3 is still my preference.
 
 From my observations, it seems to be a Gnome 3 hardware incompatibility issue.
 
 I've tried changing refreshing rate, resolution and colour depth and
 nothing could solve the issue! Even switching to the proprietary AMD
 drivers didn't work out.
 
 Should I file a bug report on BugZilla?
 
 If anyone's got some idea, please help!
 
 Thanks,
 Madhurjya Roy

Re: Fedora/Gnome3 : Display Problem on my hardware.

2014-12-12 Thread Madhurjya Roy
It's quite similar to that, just more severe! In my case, when I open
the 'activities' menu, there are square and triangular lines spread
all over and almost none of the icons render correctly.

Another thing worth pointing out is that applications are not affected
by it. Most of the applications I ran (Nautilus, GIMP, Gnome Terminal,
Application Settings) rendered correctly.

The problem mainly affects the panel on the top, the calendar view
that opens up from there (like the one in your picture) and the
'activities' menu.

I'm downloading the Fedora live image, once it is done, I'll boot up
and share some screenshots. I guess that'll provide a better idea of
it.

 Hey guys,

 My old  PC MoBo recently died and so, I built a  new PC with
 the following hardware specification :

 * Processor : AMD A4-6300K 3.7 GHz Dual Core APU with integrated
 Radeon HD 8370D GPU

 * MoBo : MSI A58M-E33

 * RAM : 4 GB Corsair Value RAM 1600 MHz.

 * HDD : 500 GB WD Caviar @ 7200 rpm

 * Monitor : 19 inch Samsung SyncMaster at 1400 X 900 pixels @ 60-75 Hz
 refresh rate

 So, I went ahead and popped in the Fedora 21 Workstation Disc.
 Anaconda worked well
 and installed Fedora 21.

 But as soon as I restarted my PC and logged in I found the desktop
 flickering! I moved the mouse pointer and it flickered even more
 vigorously and when I pulled through the activities hot corner, I
 could barely see the icons, which appeared like distorted squares.

 Somehow, I managed to open the terminal. All the text in the terminal
 were clearly visible, I installed Xfce desktop and to my surprise it
 worked fine, text and icon everything was clear and perfectly
 usable. Next, I installed KDE and it worked as well. I really had trouble
 understanding the wobbly widgety interface, though! So, I assumed the
 problem is with Gnome 3.

 I reinstalled the complete Gnome desktop and alas, the problem
 persisted! I have used Fedora 20 for quite some time on my
 laptop, so, I booted a live image of Fedora 20, that I had had flashed
 onto a pen drive and still there was the same problem.

 Frustrated, I gave up and installed Ubuntu, Unity worked well but
 when I installed Gnome3, I was back where I was, running a completely
 graphically distorted UI!

 I've since changed many distros (without Gnome as DE) and all of them
 worked fine. Windows 8.1 worked fluidly as well! I am currently using
 Ubuntu 14.10 (with Unity as DE). I found it quite close to Gnome3.

 However, I would still like to use Fedora and since, I'm using this as
 a multimedia PC, so Gnome3 is still my preference.

 From my observations, it seems to be a Gnome 3 hardware incompatibility
 issue.

 I've tried changing refreshing rate, resolution and colour depth and
 nothing could solve the issue! Even switching to the proprietary AMD
 drivers didn't work out.

 Should I file a bug report on BugZilla?

 If anyone's got some idea, please help!

 Thanks,
 Madhurjya Roy
