Re: Laptop's display not visible in setting
Thank you stan I investigated a bit more and the laptop's screen is on but black. If I change to a tty using CTRL + ALT + Fn, it will show in the laptop's screen. It's only the graphical environment that does not show up. Nvidia is installed and updated. I tested that already. The Nvidia configuration GUI only sees the external monitor. I'll send the information about the commands in a little while. I might need to reinstall f29 today after all, as I cannot make this work and tomorrow I have to leave for a work trip and need my laptop working.

I have a doubt because the current EFI System Partition is in the below part under the "Unknown" group, while in several links (regarding older Fedora versions) it was in the upper part too as if it had been "recognized" by the installer to be managed by grub in the latest stage see eg here: http://linuxbsdos.com/2016/12/01/dual-boot-fedora-25-windows-10-on-a-computer-with-uefi-firmware/ You probably need to manually assign that partition to /boot/efi.

Hi Chris,
This stick has to go into and and all machines.
I have two qemu-kvm machines set up to test. One with EFI bios
and one with Legacy bios. Nether have a "compatibility mode"
So far, I can boot into EFI perfectly.
Legacy, I get a Grub> prompt
How do I trick grub2-mkconfig into thinking I have a legacy
machine when I am booted into the EFI machine?
This has probably been done to death, but I now
have a BIOS & EFI bootable F30 USB Stick.
Works OK on an old BIOS Only laptop &
on m/c with EFI & compatibility mode.
No Guarantees!
From my notes
Update F30 2019_05_09
Once an efi bootable F30 USB stick has been created then:
Boot from it in efi mode
dnf [re]install grub2-pc only installs 3 files grub2-pc,
grub2-pc-modules, ...
grub2-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda install grub on the MBR (triple check
the USB stick sda)
//---
Create a Minamalist grub.cfg file
The UUIDs, kernel & initrd versions must be changed as required
Be prepared to re-create this file when a new kernel is created
You left out a pretty big step here. How do you create this

I don't have any direct knowledge of this problem, but it sounds like the built in monitor is not being recognized on boot. You could look at the last boot in the journal using journalctl -b in a terminal to see what happens to the built in monitor during boot. Type /drm and hit enter to take you to the video setup. Report any error back here. Is it possible that you are missing the driver for the built-in graphics? This would especially apply if the graphics are nvidia and using the nvidia proprietary driver. Maybe you need to set up the rpmfusion repositories to get the new drivers, then do a system update. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Grub fails with unrecognized number
I just upgraded one of my computers from Fedora 29 to 30 and after that grub doesn't work any more as it should. Now when I boot up I get briefly the following message Booting from Hard Disk... . error: ../../grub-core/kern/misc.c:465:unrecognized number. then it boots the default kernel. I was expecting the grub menu. Anybody knows what's going on?

This has probably been done to death, but I now
have a BIOS & EFI bootable F30 USB Stick.
Works OK on an old BIOS Only laptop &
on m/c with EFI & compatibility mode.
No Guarantees!
From my notes
Update F30 2019_05_09
Once an efi bootable F30 USB stick has been created then:
Boot from it in efi mode
dnf [re]install grub2-pc only installs 3 files grub2-pc,
grub2-pc-modules, ...
grub2-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda install grub on the MBR (triple check
the USB stick sda)
//---
Create a Minamalist grub.cfg file
The UUIDs, kernel & initrd versions must be changed as required
Be prepared to re-create this file when a new kernel is created
//--
Remember these quotes "EOF_GRUB_CFG" inhibit variable substitution.
Remember "expand -t 4 filename" to prevent TABs being present in the heredoc.
"cat -T filename" shows TABs.
Move /boot/grub2/grub.temp to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg when satified with the
result!

Re: Upgrade to F30 on Dell Precision T1700 goes into emergency mode
Ranjan Maitra writes: Btw, is there a way to take out a root password once set? The manual page for the passwd command describes its options. One option sets an invalid password which means that the account cannot be logged in directly, and the only way to do so is via some other means, like ssh public key authentication. Another option is to remove the password, so that one can log in as root without entering a password. Be sure to fully understand the ramifications of either options. If you have a question about a particular command, the first place to look is always its manual page. $ man passwd ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I wanted to mention that I was able to get in with the set root password. There is one external drive that was/is not getting mounted, and so Fedora 30 was not the issue here. The disk containing / also needed repair so that is fine. Thanks again for the help with regard to how to get in and create a root password using the liveCD. To recap, I mounted the / drive inside the LiveCD, and then did a chroot on it and set up password with "passwd root". Btw, is there a way to take out a root password once set?

Don't use NAT on the router in that case, but let it do DHCP on the LAN with a different IP- range 192.168.x where x is not 1. Port forwardings are then set on the Viasat to the internal addresses (192.168.x.y). So you use the router for routing and firewall, but not NAT. This is the cleanest solution. LAN stations van still access the Viasat through its 192.168 address if the router is properly configured and its firewall allows the traffic If the Viasat can do this it will work wonderfully... ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
