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 !

Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-20170327.n.0-sda.raw.xz - 32Mb FAT partition?
by Robert Moskowitz
I am attempting an install of
Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-20170327.n.0-sda.raw.xz
Not too successful right now, as the 4Gb mSD cards I have with me are
only 3.9Gb, not the 4Gb needed. So this project is on hold until I get
home Sunday. However,,,,
I looked at the drive with fdisk to see why it was so large, and got:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 61439 59392 29M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 * 61440 1060863 999424 488M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 1060864 2060287 999424 488M 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb4 2060288 7919615 5859328 2.8G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
What is partition 1 all about?

[GSoC] migrating Plinth to Fedora Server
by taingram@mtu.edu
Hello,
I'm Thomas Ingram, a second year CS student hoping to get into GSoC
this year, and really hoping to work with Fedora! I'm a longtime Fedora
and GNU/Linux user and have always wanted to contribute.
I am interested in helping migrate Plinth to Fedora server. I've been
following the FreedomBox project for a while. I think it's a great way
to provide a self hosted free software alternative to many web
services.
Experience wise I have a good understanding of dnf, Python, and Git. I
have a small amount of experience with Django, and a basic
understanding of rpm and deb packaging. I also have a Raspberry Pi 2
and would be willing to get other arm devices for testing if needed.
I'm very excited about the prospect of working with Fedora and free
software and would be happy to take extra time to learn in the area's I
am lacking.
So far I have made FAS account, wondering what groups I should apply to
join in order to get started on my wiki pages? Any other feedback would
be appreciate as well.
Thanks!

Broken fedora rawhide arm images
by Tomasz Kłoczko
Hi,
Seem something is wrong with rawhide arm images.
It is a problem with mounting 4rd partition with rootfs.
After writing image to sd card using fedora-arm-image-installer 4th
partition cannot be recognized as ext4 and looks like by boot fails on
remounting to rootfs on sd card:
# file -s /dev/mmcblk0p{1..4}
/dev/mmcblk0p1: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2, OEM-ID
"mkfs.fat", sectors/cluster 4, reserved sectors 4, root entries 512,
sectors 59392 (volumes <=32 MB) , Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT
60, sectors/track 32, heads 64, reserved 0x1, serial number
0x9a574bdf, unlabeled, FAT (16 bit)
/dev/mmcblk0p2: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data,
UUID=478eb925-9ca1-444a-800e-2ced04ee699f, volume name "_/boot" (needs
journal recovery) (extents) (64bit) (large files) (huge files)
/dev/mmcblk0p3: Linux/i386 swap file (new style), version 1 (4K
pages), size 62463 pages, LABEL=_swap,
UUID=634545e1-7b96-40b2-850c-8d5f6cf69be3
/dev/mmcblk0p4: data
Seems by this at the moment boot fails.
Strange because I still can mount this partition from image file by:
# fdisk -l Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-Rawhide-20170323.n.0-sda.raw*Disk
