Hardware errors
Hi. After a long time away from Linux I'll be asking some newby-type questions, so I'll apologise from the start. I have just installed the KDE Spin of FC27 to a four-year-old Lenovo G510 laptop, with a 120GB drive installed. Dring bootup I'm seeing messages about hardware failures. They don't linger long enough to write them down, and boot.log appears to be empty (unless that's because I'm logged in as user, not root). They mention TSC_Deadline mce dracut-pre-udev How desperate is this? Is it really telling me it's time to ditch that laptop?

Re: To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
GOT IT! - In case someone else reads this thread, this is what you need to know. If your function keys are marked in orange or blue, you need to hold down the Fn key. From the Power menu, select Restart and, with the Fn key firmly down, start tapping F2. (Function keys marked in white shouldn't need this.) I've now got the Live DVD running. If all looks well I'll install the KDE spin.

It was sold as a 64-bit machine, but ISTR that I always had more success with 32-bit software. Maybe that's what's causing some of my problem. I can't get to grips with the interface I'm seeing. There seems to be a huge amount of software that I can't find, including dmidecode. Searching returns "no results". I have also seen signs about vmlinuz - which are incomplete when I see them, and I haven't found them since. Kernel-core is reporting hardware problems (possibly missing 3rd party drivers?). Altogether I'm more and more convinced that I have to somehow completely get rid of this install. I believe this being 64-bit is at least part of the problem. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
I have tried Esc, Fn 1-12 and Del. In each case I have selected a reboot, then hit the selected key, holding it down throughout the reboot process. None of them gave me the required screen - all with just the choice between the existing FC and Rescue. I'm beginning to think that I will have to take out the hard drive, mount it in a caddy, then hope that Windows disk management tools will see it and allow me to remove everything. Hopefully at that point I'll be able to reinstall and boot from DVD. Whether I'll be able to set UEFI off permanently is anybody's guess. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
Some small progress - I managed to get, from the previously described Fedora options screen, what looks to me like grub. Tab lists possible commands - and "efi" is one of them.

Re: To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
Of course if my previous change was not permanent, it would not be Fedora related. I still need to find a way to access the boot options, though.

Re: To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
Samual and Steve, When I installed Fedora I got the screen where you can turn UEFI off. Since I wanted to promote the DVD drive over hard disk boot, I turned it off. I thought that was permanent. However, now I can no longer get to that screen. I have managed several time to interupt the boot, but I only have the choice of the existing Fedora or Rescue. Something, which has to be Fedora related, since it worked before, is stopping me booting from the DVD. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
I mistakenly installed the Gnome Desktop from a live DVD - my SSD is small, and I want KDE, so I have burned a disk with the Spin. Problem now, though, is that Fedora appears to have turned UEFI back on, and I can't find any way of getting back to promoting the DVD drive. Interrupting the boot simply offers me the choice of the existing Workstation or Rescue. How can I access the spin install?

It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. Brute force attacks are stopped in their tracks. You configure how many consecutive failures are allowed before blocking occurs. We all occasionally mis-type a password or use the wrong password, but normally we only do that once, so three or four consecutive failures are very suspect.

My comment was not aimed at you or your post, but at a general tone that seems to be too prevalent these days. It is right and proper to correct people that don't understand netiquette, but IMO it should be done in private.

Currently my router gives wifi coverage on the ground floor and first floor (and is little used, but desirable). By the time the signal reaches my office in a stone building in the garden it is very weak. I tried adding a second router with the wan omitted and hit the problem described in this thread. I have removed that and now have a switch box without wifi in the office, but now my Internet tablet can't connect so I need wifi here again. Does the AP you recommend simply attach to the switch box? Are there good instructions somewhere that deal with any special settings? Any practical advice you can add?

Kontact is a wrapper for all the kde-pim modules, kmail, kaddressbook, korganizer and so on. They all can be run separately, so it's quite possible you are only running korganizer. I meant that in a terminal you should issue the command "killall kontact", but if you are using korganizer as a standalone application, instead issues "killall korganizer" and see if that does it. > Apparently I don't > use kontact or kaddress or other! do you mean kill some process or close > in someway that I don't know. > > > Alternatively, it usually works if you open system monitor (Ctrl-Esc) and > > put korganizer into the search bar.

Let's start with knowing which version of Fedora and which version of KOrganizer you are running. Then, try starting korganizer from a terminal and see what happens. You may see a huge amount of information scrolling by. Let it finish, the copy it and paste into a text file. Paste the text file into http://fpaste.org/ and then add the link it gives you to this thread. There's a better chance then of seeing what is actually happening.

I find that the best thing is to killall kontact and wait a few seconds, after which everything works again. I assume that something that should have shut down is still open, and this seems to find it. Alternatively, it usually works if you open system monitor (Ctrl-Esc) and put korganizer into the search bar. You'll probably find a slave hanging around, and if you can kill it there that should clear things.

Saving VLC snapshots
Can someone tell me how to tame VLC so that snapshots are always saved to a specific folder? Currently it seems to use a random destination. Please cc me with any answer, as I don't seem to be getting the list messages even though my mailman page says that receiving is enabled.
