Re: Eclipse and Fedora 30 upgrade issue
Matthew Saltzman: Is there a workaround for the issue where the Fedora 30 upgrade decides that all of Eclipse is not compatible with Fedora 30 and removes the complete collection of Eclipse packages? If it's best to wait until the issue is resolved before upgrading, will GNOME Software automatically update my downloaded upgrade packages? If not, how to make sure that update happens before the install? Thanks.

Re: GRUB prompt after F29 to F30 upgrade
Am 01.05.19 um 00:03 schrieb Chris Murphy: Just a heads up that this can be an issue, but I'm not sure how common it is. It applies to BIOS (not UEFI) firmware, and for systems that originally had Fedora 20 or older installed and also never had 'grub2-install' issued since then. Therefore it can be prevented just by running 'grub2-install' before commencing the Fedora 30 upgrade. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F30_bugs#GRUB_boot_menu_is_not_populated_after_an_upgrade It's worth going through all the Common Bugs. I am not entirely sure about this issue and now I have read all the posts about it and this Grub 'lesson' is just not getting into me. So far the upgrade went fine as usual in my case. And now why I am replying here. My legacy boot has Grub and instead of booting into the newest Fedora 30 kernel it boots by default into an older one from Fedora 29. I never saw this before. So I have to catch up before the Grub prompt automatically selects the second kernel in the boot menu.

Re: Thunar confused by kernel 5.0.5
Sam Varshavchik: Is anyone running XFCE seeing Thunar being very confused when booting kernel 5.0.5? Mine no longer automounts my removable usb storage mp3 player. As a consolation prize, of sorts, Thunar informs me that /boot, /home, /sys, and the like, are removable volumes, and shows a folder icon for each one of them on the desktop. With an option to unmount them, of course. Plugging and unplugging the USB device is detected, in some way, with the typical stuff showing up in /var/log/messages, but thunar doesn't see it. Everything's fine in 5.0.4.

Oh, you know what? $ uname -r 5.0.3-200.fc29.x86_64 Closer to the edge. And, by the way. RHEL is so BUGGY that it won't even support the C236 chipset.

These and other BUG in RHEL almost drive me INSANE and why I dump them for Fedora, which I an still tickled with. I think that the term "stable" here should be replaced with "buggy". RHEL is intensely buggy and their bugs seldom get fixed; Fedora has a few bugs, but they are rapidly taken care of. You are right, bleeding edge is another word used too often and not always describes Fedora well. For me it is *recent* and *up-to-date* in comparison with other distros but not bleeding edge as in some rolling distributions but maybe close.

Re: Need a statement on Fedora's purpose

Many thanks, -T Fedora is bleeding edge and neither would I put it on a server, I would likely take CentOS. The purpose of RHEL and CentOS is indeed for enterprise whereas Fedora is for desktop where you actually want some change feature wise. Fedora is 'unstable' in the sense of changing versions and adding new features on top of the latest release.

Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....
Ok I have gone nuts trying to figure this out, and I'm just about ready to just re-install the OS. (Fedora 29) I have been using Fedora since likeversion 12, and have experienced all kinds of issues but this one baffles me. So: I had updated from fc26 to fc27 successfully, but I have noticed that since upgrading from 27 to 28 that the kernel versions while they have gone up (e.g. from 3.12.203 >> 3.12.207 and these numbers I use are for example only!) I notice that the "fc" number has remained the same (in other words the "fc27" bit of the kernel name!) I have tried everything I have found online from trying to upgrade the kernel through the Terminal to trying to download, install, and compile a newer kernel version and no matter what I've tried that part remains the same. So my last attempt/effort will be a transfer of all my data and a complete re-install of F29. But it would be nice to know what might have caused this...in case it happens again!
