Re: F30: Suspend to disk - and then reboot does not restore the suspended session.
You mean there is no util to do this for the user Do the Fedora devs assume all users, newbies and old, have to "KNOW" this in order to do suspend to disk and be able to resume where they left off How about posting an example of this in the Fedoraproject's "How to ." pages?

No. As far as I know only root is locked by default (at least on Fedora Workstation). Aka you can't su to root. But you are able to use Switch to any other (not locked) User, as usual. Is there a way to undo this noxious action? Because if not, I'll be migrating both of my computers to CentOs. So much overreaction to incorrect information. Yes, by default, the root password is locked, which has been the case for a long time. The installer lets you set it if you want. There is no change to su or sudo. As always, if the root password is disabled, you can't use su to get to root. But again, as always, sudo will still work if your user account is set as an administrator (i.e. part of wheel group). And ssh to root will work if you setup a key. I don't have a running Workstation instance at the moment. However, I seem to recall if one is hard-up about using "su -" they can "sudo passwd root" and create a pw and then "su -" will function as before. I tried it Ed. No go.

Re: Mate on latest fedora releases
Installing latest mate desktop (from rpmfusion) on Fedora 30, 29, 28, 27 ...24, 23 22 DOES NOT work. It no longer displays the desktop items that used to be displayed in previous versions of Fedora. The mouse pointer (if it even appears as it does not appear unless the user miraculously is able to start a gui app - such as a terminal), and even then, it appears as a bold lower case x So, would appreciate some info on how to remedy the situation.

I've not had any issues with k3b in the past. I think I no longer have a commercial DVD to test as I stopped using those a few years ago.

He did indeed say he was the g4l maintainer. And he was perfectly clear when he post his dd pipeline that it came from the g4l package. It isn't unreasonable at all that it uses a tool that is part of that same package. There's any number of "progress reporting cat" type commands out there; I've got one of my own called prcat [1] (just a perl script accepting a commandline buffer size, no fancy threading or parallelism). IMO there's little value in this bickering over an _example_ command line whose function is clear on inspection just because it has an odd but obviously equivalent to "cat" command in the middle.

cpupower
Manpage of cpu power make no mention of the selection of governor. How can set the governor to be the user mode governor instead of the performance governor and not the ondemand governor? If I can permanently set that governor, next I want to set the cpu frequency (for all cores) to 2134000Hz permanently. Reason I am posting this is because the normal speed of the cores is 2.8GHz, and that is causing numerous kerneloops interrupts (overheating). Fans are at full speed all the time, as I can hear them :) :) When I set the speed manually (as root) like this: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do echo2134000 > cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq done then kerneloops are greatly reduced. Every kerneloops is accompanied by mce: So, it has to be the heat. But I do not want to do this loop every time I boot up. I want to have set once and for all!!!

Re: Unable to lower cpu frequency
You hit the nail on the head. I found that the command line I was using contained the word performance. Now, I am doing: /bin/cpupower --cpu all frequency-set -u 2.00G and cpu-info is showing: current CPU frequency is 1.60 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). for both cpus. This was necessary because of running ffmpeg alongside with playing videos cause HW errors. Even thought the kernel throttled the cpu, it did not help much. Now, I do not get the HW errors and kernel ooops messages.

Correct, and it's waiting because something is writing to the disk and blocking its ability to update the journal. Not completely blocking it as it spent 0.15% of its time doing something, uhm, "useful" during that sample. It's not even clear that there's an issue since I'd expect stuff like that to occur sporadically during times of heavy I/O. It's also common if you've just formatted an ext4 filesystem as it does, essentially, a "quick" format first, and slowly initializes the rest of the partition over some period of time. The idea is to make the filesystem usable quickly and get the housekeeping done in its spare time. Assuming this isn't a fresh "mke2fs -t ext4" on the partition, I'd still try to find what's beating on that partition before messing around with anything drastic like changing the journal commit timing. The jdb2 thing in iotop (if it happens a LOT) indicates there's something weird going on--but it is NOT the cause of the problem. Don't shoot the messenger! Yes.

Hi all, I have an app that has no manpage, but has about 170 html files, all of which index into a subset of the 168 files. I would like to use an app that will produce a single manpage like text file. Is there an app that can do this? I saw a few apps on google search, but none of them are producing what I want.

People,
This command exits the chrome process tree gracefully, in all window
managers:
pkill --oldest chrome
but it is not what I want to do - when Chrome goes mad and the whole
system starts grinding to a halt (I know from experience it is Chrome)
I want to try and work out what specific Chrome tab or window is the
problem. Chrome has its own task manager:
SHIFT ESC
but you can't kill a window with all its tabs from there.
Using:
ps aux | grep "beta\/chrome"
seems to indicate individual tabs?
Using:
xprop _NET_WM_PID
and clicking on the different windows always give the same id.
I wrote the script below using wmctrl and xkill to allow me to kill
the Chrome windows in reverse order of creation but killing the first
Chrome window kills all Chrome windows. The xkill man page says the
"program is very dangerous" and:
-id resource
This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose creator
is to be aborted.
- so it looks like aborting "creator" gets rid of everything.
Any suggestions about fixing my script to selectively kill single
Chrome windows?
Thanks,
Phil.
#!/bin/bash
wins=`wmctrl -l | sort -r`
IFS=$'\n' # bash 4
readarray -t winsarr <<< "$wins"
for win in "${winsarr[@]}"
do
IFS=' ' read id junk1 junk2 name <<< $win
echo "$id $name"
echo -n "Kill?: "
read junk
if [ "$junk" == "Y" ]; then
xkill -frame -id "$id"
fi
done
You cannot kill specific windows of an app using general purpose CLI
commands.
You need a command that talks directly to chrome and, for example, ask
it for
the window id's of all of it's windows.
And the you might tell chrome to kill some specific set of window id's.
So, it all has to be under the direct control of chrome main process.
I am not sure that such an interface exists. If enought people scream
at google for such an interface, then google /might/ provide such a cli.

I am not familiar with that, as this is the first time I am encountering this problem of fedora on a 1920x1200 screen. 1. Default fonts are just too small. 2. Icons of running apps on the bottom panel of Mate DT are incredibly small and undiscernible. 3. On the first gui login creen, if click on the tiny icon of power switch, the drop down menu is so tiny, I have to use 2.0 power reading glasses to see where the Shutdown, or Restart selections are. If you are using X, and an analog monitor, you can put a configuration file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. A search on the web will give you the format. Use xrandr to get the numbers to plug in. This is a laptop, so no, it is not an old analog display :) I don't know how to do this for wayland. But I think the better thing for you to do is to up the size of fonts that everything uses, if possible. Text will look a lot better. I have done that, but I thought it is a rather kludgey thing to do, because there does not seem to be a system-wide setting that is used by all components of system and apps.

Hi all, some hotspots are censoring many websites which they find offensive or objectionable, including websites that discuss evolution and the possible changes that can occur due to the current weakening of Earth's magnetic field, and the expanding south atlantic hole in the magnetic field...

help with some issues on new install of f27
1. The installation enabled LUKS encryption at install time. 2. At every clean shutdown and reboot, the user enters the LUKS password, and then fsck takes place - EVERY TIME!!! Is this due to LUKS? If so, how can the user remove the LUKS feature? 4. After setting the firefox preferences, single clicking on the firefox icon on the panel, pops up 2 firefox instances.

mate dt on fc27 workstation
I am unable to increase the number of workspaces. When I right-click on the only visible workspace icon on the panel, and I click on Preferences, I do not get a gui that lets me increase the number of workspaces. I only get a small panel which lets the user choose how many columns to display the workspaces in. Will I be able to install an older release like from fc26 or fc25 to see how they will behave?

Re: downloading ALL Packages of a fedora release.
It's quite alright. At any rate, the fedora release packages would not have helped a lot, because the crucial packages had to come from rpmfusion in order to enable the functioning of the broadcom 4322 chipset.

Re: downloading ALL Packages of a fedora release.
Terry, have you looked inside F27 workstation install iso? Please take a look, and tell me if the release packages are ALL there.
