75% right now. The problem happens the same whether 15% or
90% on
Fedora, and never on macOS.



I have occasional blips with my BT mouse in KDE (using
a Broadcom
dongle) especially after resuming from suspension (not
so much for
hibernation). They fix themselves when I pull the
dongle and reinsert
it, or use a second mouse to click on the KDE BT
widget Connect button.
I've never been able to figure out what's going on.

There's definitely a conflict. On a clean reboot with both
WiFi and
Bluetooth left on at reboot time, the mouse/keyboard never
connect. I
have to turn off the WiFi radio itself, and then boom,
Bluetooth
devices connect pretty much instantly.

The disconnect from Bluetooth seems to coincide with the
WiFi radio
disconnecting from on AP MAC address and connecting to a
different AP
MAC address. This laptop does this disconnect/reconnect
routine
exactly every two minutes, always, to the second. I'm
guessing it must
be unique behavior to its WiFi firmware. A nearby Intel
NUC also on
Wireless doesn't behave this way, it goes hours or even
days connected
to one of those two APs.

Both bluetooth and wifi use the 2.4GHz frequency band. If you have
dual-band wifi, try using a frequency in the 5GHz band.
Failing that,
try to get your wifi to use a different channel. That may
clear it up.
This is always going to be an issue.

I have had this issue as well for EVER :)
I simply stopped using BT.


Have no idea. It's been quite a while since I ever used BT.

My wife (who is a much better Googler than I) found a discussion in a
Gnucash forum of exactly this issue:

 http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Problem-printing-checks-td4684960.html

The upshot of it is that this is a bug introduced in 2.6.12 . The reason I
never saw it in F23 was that, prior to just before my system-upgrade, I had
not done an update in F23 in a long time, so I was still running 2.6.11,
which does not have the bug. F24 has 2.6.12, with the bug. A fix has been
committed to 2.6.13, but Fedora doesn't have this yet (at least not in the
normal updates repo).

So I just grabbed the old 2.6.11 package and did a "dnf downgrade", and I
am back to 2.6.11 and it works again.

Shut off suspend and hibernate modes. It depends on which power manager
GUI you have. In XFCE's Power Manager:

General tab: Set "Laptop Lid" to "Switch off display" for both
"On battery" and "Plugged in".

System tab: Set "System sleep mode" to "Suspend" and run the
sliders all the way to the left (for "Never") for both "On
battery" and "Plugged in"

I think that'd do it. All you're doing at that point is blanking the
screen when the lid is closed. You've disabled all the suspend/hibernate
stuff.

Remember to re-enable that stuff when you want to go back to normal.

gnucash check printing in F24

[Greg Woods]

I am asking this here because I don't think it's a gnucash issue
specifically. The gnucash package in F24 is the same version as in F23
(2.6.12-2) and I even checked the file in /usr/share/gnucash/checks where
the printing format is defined and it's identical to the one from F23. I
don't think it's a printer or print driver issue either because the problem
occurs even when I just print to a PDF file.

The check format I am using is "wallet checks". There are three checks to a
page and a blank area at the bottom, like this:

check 1
check 2
check 3
blank

In F24, they come out with the blank space between checks 2 and 3:

check 1
check 2
blank
check 3

It's a long shot to ask abut this here I know, but I can fathom no reason
why this should be happening. I have tried playing games with larger,
smaller, and different fonts and it continues to print like this. Of
course, this means the third check comes out blank, the the printing in the
blank space in the bottom instead of where the third check is supposed to
be. I can live for a while with writing every third check by hand (it's
only for personal use, not a business), but it's a royal pain and I'd like
to solve this. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.

Good point. If you're using iwlwifi, you could create or edit an
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file and add:

options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

Then reboot and see if it helps.

I'd recommend using screen in your ssh session in case the ssh session 
gets nuked during the upgrade. It reduces the chance you'll need to

In my case I have a desktop with Ethernet cable and no Wifi, so
probably not related.

Bluetooth left on at reboot time, the mouse/keyboard never connect. I
have to turn off the WiFi radio itself, and then boom, Bluetooth
devices connect pretty much instantly.

The disconnect from Bluetooth seems to coincide with the WiFi radio
disconnecting from on AP MAC address and connecting to a different AP
MAC address. This laptop does this disconnect/reconnect routine
exactly every two minutes, always, to the second. I'm guessing it must
be unique behavior to its WiFi firmware. A nearby Intel NUC also on
Wireless doesn't behave this way, it goes hours or even days connected
to one of those two APs.

I just did it (using `dnf system-upgrade`) and it worked fine. There's
less to go wrong with that approach vs. doing a "live" dnf update — but
on the other hand, it feels a little bit scarier if you don't have
console access. (Which, thankfully, is increasingly common for remote
servers these days.)

If you can replicate your server a test run in virtual environment may be
worth the effort.

Wild thought: how good is the battery level in the mouse? back when I
used a Macbook Pro it would sometimes disconnect because of battery
level, then work again for a while after toggling the connection before
doing it again. Might be entirely unrelated of course.

I have occasional blips with my BT mouse in KDE (using a Broadcom
dongle) especially after resuming from suspension (not so much for
hibernation). They fix themselves when I pull the dongle and reinsert
it, or use a second mouse to click on the KDE BT widget Connect button.
I've never been able to figure out what's going on.

WiFi conflicting with Bluetooth

[Chris Murphy]

Hi,

About a dozen times per day, my Bluetooth mouse stops working. I can't
connect manually in Settings > Bluetooth. If I merely turn off the
WiFi radio (Settings > Network > Wi-Fi change from On to Off) and then
click the mouse button, it reconnects and works normally.

With kernels 4.6 and older this ridiculousness was ridiculously
tolerated (in that I continue to use Fedora slightly annoyed rather
than use macOS where this problem does not ever occur with the same
hardware). But with kernel 4.7rc7 this power cycling of WiFi doesn't
work anymore, now I have to reboot.

So the question is, does anyone  have any idea how to get more details
debugging information on what appears to be a conflict between WiFi
and Bluetooth? Upstream GNOME bluetooth maintainer says it's a kernel
bug. But there's no meaningful kernel messages at all while this is
happening.

Here's the bug I've filed against the kernel, if anyone has
suggestions on improving the report that'd be great. Or heck, maybe a
solution to the problem, that'd be even better.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136221

In ancient times, I remember even Apple had problems negotiating WiFi
and Bluetooth since I guess both are on 2.4GHz and would conflict with
each other. Maybe the work around is to use the proprietary WiFi
driver instead of b43.

OS upgrade via SSH

[Mark Haney]

What's the status on being able to upgrade a server via SSH?  I've upgraded
a couple of Ubuntu servers that way, but how about Fedora? This is a pretty
plain server, just used for storing data. No third party repos, etc.

Is it considered moderately safe? Or should I avoid like the plague?

Re: conversion of notes.ics in a text format

[Tim]

Allegedly, on or about 22 July 2016, Patrick O'Callaghan sent:
> As Rick has said, it wasn't clear you meant a literal \ n (i.e. a '\'

I had wondered about the original poster, too.  But...  If you're going
to do representations of Control + N, etc., for those low-numbered ASCII
control codes, then traditionally its with a carat symbol:  ^N

e.g. As displayed by applications giving you an interpretation of a file
contents, such as some hexdump programs.  And on-line terminals over
modems, etc.

The slash N representation is more a case of Linux code escaping,
entered using the terminal into some type of editor, more than what's
normally found *in* a text file.  Not that /that/ stops any editor from
using such a sequence, if it's also going to be used to interpret the
file when it shows it back to you, particularly file meant to be special
rather than plain text.

Re: conversion of notes.ics in a text format

[bruce]

Hey.

Good to know the link was helpful. For others with this issue, could you
detail the steps you used to resolve the prob?

Was it running the perl script?
Was it simply looking for the "dir" with the content, and doing a physical
change of a few files to match the ID of a given file?

As you've seen, some issue are frustrating, even though the soln is simple
once you know it. So, being able to find some soln to a prob that someone
has solved is always cool!

Good Luck/Thanks!

Re: conversion of notes.ics in a text format

[Maurizio Marini]

for who is having my issue, I confirm that this one:
> http://techblog.babyl.ca/entry/knotes-migration
solved entirely my issue and that after last upgrades the ics was here
~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data/32/32_r0

where 32 is only the # number of note, so change it to what you have into
~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data/

very interesting, I found there all the release of the notes, old stuff that
can come back useful one day

as always, you guys are very helpful and fantastic :)
this community is great :)
