RPi 3 extremely slow with F25. Extremely !
by linux guy
Just a note to say that I installed the Fedora KDE arm image on my RPi 3
from the link below using a Kingston class 10 SD card and it is running
extremely slow.
https://muug.ca/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/25/Spins/armhfp/images/Fedor...
After the second boot, I opened a console and did a 'dnf update'. With a
fast ethernet connection, it has taken nearly 12 hours to complete. It is
currently in the 'top' shows nothing CPU usage to be 2.3% for the top
process and nothing much for anthing else. The dnf process occasionally
pops up in the top list, using less than 1% of the cpu, though about 18% of
memory.
Is there a zombie thread running somewhere ?
I'll investigate further once the update process is complete.
BTW: kudos for bringing Fedora to the RPi platform. I'm so happy not to be
building custom kernels and to be running the same distribution I use on my
other computers. Keep up the good work !

The latest upgrade to 4.7.2-201.fc24.armv7hl fails to boot on Odroid XU4.
by Stewart Samuels
Dracut fails to build a bootable image for Odroid XU4 for the 4.7.2-201 fc24 initramfs.
it seems that Dracut fails to create the Early CPIO image it needs to boot the system.
Following are initial comparisons from the previous 4.6.6-300.fc24.armv7hl initramfs
image.

Possible Hangups on Raspberry Pi with FC25 Server
by petrenz.a@gmail.com
Hello,
I recently bought a Raspberry Pi and I want to use it as a small server. I installed FC25 on it. The only additional piece of hardware is a bluetooth keyboard/mouse device, which is connected via usb dongle. On the software side I only installed a samba server and opened the related ports with a firewall command.
This installation is working and I can access the shared folder. However after a while - it differs - the server isn't available anymore. No ping is possible, also there is no HDMI signal anymore - the only thing I can do is restart it. I'm keeping the software up to date, but that doesn't solve the problem.
So what I would like to ask is, if there are known stability issues? Or is there something I can check and maybe fix? Maybe I could provide some details (not sure what - log doesn't tell anything usefull) to track down any issue.
Best Regards
Alex

Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-Rawhide-20170119.n.0-sda.raw.xz problems on CubieTruck
by Robert Moskowitz
I build a CubieTruck image using the installer script with the following
options:
--target=Cubietruck --media=/dev/sdb --norootpass --selinux=OFF
--addconsole --resizefs
I booted up the image with a UDB keyboard and VGA monitor attached plus
the TTY console.
After I logged into the console as root, I set the root password, and
added myself as a user. I then used this userID to log into the Xfce login.
Next I did 'dnf update' Of course this took time to run. But a VERY
long time between the cleanup and verify phases. During these I got the
message:
Image Name: 4.10.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl

dracut: Disabling early microcode, because kernel does not support it.

eventually the update finished. The system SEEMS to be working, but
what is with this message?
thank you

raspberry pi with F25
by solarflow99
Has anyone setup subinterfaces like eth0.10, etc? I have a tagged vlan and
I can't get it to see the devices at all, all I ever get when trying to
bring up the interface is:
device does not seem to be present delaying initialization
I had to modprobe 8021q manually, but it doesn't help anyways, even without
tagging it doesn't see anything else except eth0 by itself.

timedatectl issue ? Love for timedatectl and nmcli !!!!!
by linux guy
# timedatectl
Local time: Tue 2017-01-31 12:49:07 MST
Universal time: Tue 2017-01-31 19:49:07 UTC
RTC time: n/a
Time zone: America/Edmonton (MST, -0700)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: yes
Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time
zone.
This mode can not be fully supported. It will create various
problems
with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The
RTC
time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to
maintain it.
If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling
'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
# timedatectl set-local-rtc 0
Failed to set local RTC: hwclock failed: Child process exited with code 70
BTW, I *LOVE* how timedatectl and nmcli work ! No more hunting around for
obscure commands to set things up from the command line. I couldn't
believe how easy it was to set up wifi from ssh with nmcli ! Love it !
Keep up the good work.
LG.

Booting Fedora 25 from USB attached disk on Raspberry Pi
by peter@pindsle.com
Hi,
As I've finally managed to get Fedora 25 booting from a USB attached HDD on a Raspberry Pi (2B) and I wasn't really able to it documented anywhere I'd like to document some of the things I found before I forget.
As the official Fedora support is so new, I haven't seen much discussion, so not really sure who to tell ... The Raspberry Pi page on the Fedora Wiki pointed me here.
The steps I used were very much the same as any of the guides for booting Raspbian from a USB HDD, but a couple of things I had to learn the hard way with Fedora:
1. The boot menu is extlinux and is configured from /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. This is where you need to set your root partition to point to the USB HDD partition. This may seem obvious, but considering there is cmdline.txt, /boot/grub/grub.conf and this to choose from it took a little time to figure.
2. The USB controller requires the dwc2 kernel module. This is not included in the default dracut image. It took me many hours to find this but once I rebuilt the image to include this module everything sprung to life.
For reference I used the following configuration:
/etc/dracut.conf.d/add-dwc2.conf
add_drivers+="dwc2"
I hope this is useful to someone and if anyone has suggestions for where to post it, fire away.
Lastly, it seems like a good idea to include the dwc2 module in dracut by default. Considering there are a bunch of other USB modules included (which I think can't do anything useful without the controller being initialised), it seems like an oversight not to include it. What would be the best place to request this?
