I have also added "nopti" as well as there is some anecdotal evidence it improves stability but I'm not sure about that. There is also some discussions in the bug page about old PSUs not providing good enough low voltage, AMD is recommending running a newer PSU (post-Haswell) but for the time being the boot config is working for me.

Magic SysRq doesn't work? Are you running Chromium by any chance? I've been experiencing similar hangs, first with an AMD Phenom II processor and recently with a Ryzen 5 2400G and a X370 motherboard. This morning I left the computer unattended with Chromium and top open and top showed Chromium taking 34% of the CPU around the crash time. Then I left the computer unattended without running Chromium and ran happily for hours. I might have a go at running Chromium with debug logs to see if I can see anything unusual. Reviewing the journal a few crashes ago I saw some Chromium errors regarding GPU, might be a red herring though. Frustrating.

As long as you install your software from reputable sources (i.e. Fedora repositories) and you keep it up to date you should be safe in that sense.

A smartphone is great on the go because it is light, portable and always available in your pocket. A tablet is great to use at home (or in a plane) to write some short emails or to watch a movie.

I see no real advantage of running the same OS on all devices. The way things are at the moment there is already a decent level of integration. I can read the same emails in all devices.

Fully agree, specially when you are dealing with huge documents (i.e. thesis) with multiple references. When I was working with other people I used LaTeX with a version control system (e.g. Subversion) to manage the different contributions.

You need to make the changes in /etc/default/grub, and then update the
Grub configuration. If you make the changes in /boot they will be
overwritten the next time you update the kernel.
So,
1. Make the changes in /etc/default/grub
2. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf (<--- only UEFI systems)
And that's it!

Re: Optimization Start Up of Fedora
Hi! 2013/1/27 carachi diego > > But if I compile the kernel without all unnecessary drivers and packet, > Can I obtain more performance than only disable some service? > The Fedora kernel (and actually any other distribution) has most of its kernel options compiled as modules (not drivers). Why? Because it is impossible for Fedora devs to know beforehand the hardware the computer will run and people like to get their hardware up and running as soon as they plug it in. In any case, the kernel does not load modules on memory until they are needed. So the only thing you are wasting is hard disk space (and not really much). So you could save a few MB of hard drive by compiling your own kernel and removing modules you are not going to use (floppy disks?) but 1) you will spend a lot of time and 2) you may break something. So my advice is: leave the kernel as is and take a look at unnecessary services at boot.

I installed F18 in a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X in another partition and Mac OS X shows up in Grub. I am not sure if it is the task of the installer to set up booting other operating systems. It is Grub that enables that. Grub2 looks for other operating systems when updating its config and it should add them to the menu "automagically".

I have just tried to reproduce the problem and I couldn't. This time I only used Network Manager to define the zones for each interface (they were already set) and the firewall-config GUI application and it worked correctly. I believe I made a mistake when checking if the port was open or not.

Re: firewall-applet
Hi! I have tested firewall-applet in the desktop. I used it to open a port in the home zone. Then I added my network interfaces to the home zone in NetworkManager but it didn't work so I used the command line. Since then firewalld is running happily and I haven't used the firewall applet any more.
