lost graphical boot after f29 upgrade
by jim.cromie@gmail.com
boot process hangs/stalls on graphical screen with 3 blocks illuminated.
booting as normal, but hitting escape early, will revert screen to a console,
which displays the old-school kernel and systemd startup lines,
until it hits "Starting GNOME Display Manager"
then it hangs.
If I edit boot command line by adding a 2 (runlevel 2)
it will eventually (I came back later) leave that 3-block screen
and go to console, the screen is full of accented Gs.
Ive edited boot command line, dropping the "rhgb quiet" and adding "2"
it boots faster to same 'G' filled console screen.
console clears 'G's where it offers login prompt,
typing clears lines after CR/NL
once logged in, console is usable.
startx works at least partly
it clears screen, paints a big mouse and waits.
eventually it rendered the default background - meshy blue screen,
and the mouse started working
the background looks same as on my hires laptop,
despite the large pointer and font.
Devices->Display
shows blank resolution,
lspci -v says its an Intel 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller
this is on an old dell desktop with core 2 duo, uname -a has i686
(4.18-300 iirc)
I have some recollection of seeing discussion of switching display managers,
Im gonna look at that next, hints welcome.

Yes. I tried four cables. Each of them on both TVs. Each behaved same for me. *however* factr that I
had tried several different cables, does not mean I used different type of cable. they are very
likely from same shop in my neighbourhood, likely same vendor and price level, just bought in
different times.

I'm aware of this difference in view like "it exists". But do not know details of the difference
between proprietary and open implementation.
I was hoping for magical switch for HDMI, but looks lie there is none.
Thanx a lot!

HTTPD shutting down every night
by Scott van Looy
Hi,
Since the upgrade to F29 my HTTPD has been shutting down around 3am every night. I’d like to try and investigate why, but the only thing in the log is:
[mpm_event:notice] [pid 1096508:tid 140027704744192] AH00492: caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully
These all happen at roughly the same time, but not the exact same time - around 3am
It’s strange

Thank you - F27 to F29 upgrade
by Robin Laing
I just wanted to say thank you to the developers of the upgrade.
I upgraded two machines to F29 from F27 with only one small issue
related to a 32bit library used by Wine.
I liked the boot screen showing which packages were being installed and
the increasing icon.

How do I Systemd Disable Userspace Service no Longer Needed?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Looking at failed messages in journalctl I noticed the following messages:
Nov 13 06:47:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[2393]:
openrazer-daemon.service: Failed to execute command: No such file or
directory
Nov 13 06:47:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[2393]:
openrazer-daemon.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning
/usr/bin/openrazer-daemon: No such file or directory
Nov 13 06:47:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[2386]:
openrazer-daemon.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Nov 13 06:47:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[2386]: Failed to start
Daemon to manage razer devices in userspace.
That service was from a vendor supplied package for the mouse I used
previously.
I tried to disable the service but that failed.
sudo systemctl disable openrazer-daemon.service
Failed to disable unit: Unit file openrazer-daemon.service does not exist.
sudo systemctl disable openrazer-daemon.service --user
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
Given the above how do I stop systemd from trying to start the unneeded
service?
regards,
Steve

grub menu
by Tom Horsley
If I edit the grub.cfg file and replace this absurd
chunk of gibberish:
if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then
if [ "${menu_show_once}" ]; then
unset menu_show_once
save_env menu_show_once
set timeout_style=menu
set timeout=60
elif [ "${menu_auto_hide}" -a "${last_boot_ok}" = "1" ]; then
set orig_timeout_style=${timeout_style}
set orig_timeout=${timeout}
if [ "${fastboot}" = "1" ]; then
# timeout_style=menu + timeout=0 avoids the countdown code keypress check
set timeout_style=menu
set timeout=0
else
set timeout_style=hidden
set timeout=1
fi
fi
fi
with just
set timeout=5
will I get my grub menu back so I can do things
like choose previous kernels?
Or should I just delete the entire chunk of code
between the 01_menu_auto_hide comments?
And why isn't there a way to disable the whole
auto hide nonsense? The only thing it appears to be
checking is a serial console, no define you can provide
to just say "Dammit! Don't hide my menu!"

Link-Local Only option not available on NetworkManager
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
I am trying to configure a VPN-L2TP network via NetworkManager. To
accomplish that, I need to have the option
"Link-Local Only"
on the IPv6 settings, but unfortunately such an option is not
available. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Slow gnome-shell, gnome-files
by Tibor Attila Anca
Hi,
after installing the new Fedora 29 with Gnome 3.30 there is one really
annoying thing. Gnome-shell or gnome-files becomes extremely slow.
Nautilus used to load within one second (I use SSDs), the list of
folders and files appeared immediately. Also, when I would save
attachments from within Evolution, the dialogue appeared immediately.
Now, Nautilus still launches fast, but it takes a moment for the list of
folders and files to load. If I want to save attachments from within
Evolution, the third such operation in a row slows down the whole
system. I don't see in the save dialogue for some minutes anything. Than
folders and files (if there are any) appear slowly and the path gets
visible.
Did someone else observe this?
Thanks in advance
Tibor
