battery discharging whilelaptop powered off?
by Chris Murphy
I've noticed this only a few times, and it doesn't always happen, but
there isn't enough data to form a pattern.
Fedora Workstation 28
kernel varies but mainly I use Rawhide kernels to catch bugs
[ 0.000000] DMI: HP HP Spectre Notebook/81A0, BIOS F.40 02/26/2018
Battery is 100% charged. Computer is powered off via GNOME power
button icon thingy. Unplug power cord. Go to bed. Morning I plug power
back into the laptop and boot, and the battery icon indicates
charging, click on that icon and it reports it's charging the batter,
will take 40 minutes until full (80%).
So how the heck is the battery losing 20% when the laptop is powered
off? I have in the past couple weeks left the laptop overnight in
suspend to RAM mode, unplugged from power, and in the morning it's 90%
charged, which makes some sense I guess even though that still seems
like a lot of loss. But 20% powered off makes no sense.
The first time this happened I was suspicious of my own memory: OK
maybe I left it in suspend even though I'm 99% certain I powered it
off, but which is more likely, that I'm being spacey or that the
laptop discharged 20% overnight while powered off? But this time I am
certain it was powered off.
Anyway, it's been charging a bit before I ran this:

Open with ,or launching with dnfdragora package manager.
by Ger van Dijck
Hi all,
1)When I try to install with dnf install a downloaded .rpm version I get
the massage dnf client error occurred:
g-io-error-quark:
GDBus.Error.org.baseurl.DnfSustem.LockedErrors:
dnf is locked by another application (36)
2)In some cases I get the message ""transaction build error"" without
further comment : The display shows no information.
3)When choosing for history information I get how many updates there
where and their data , but the display showes no information or
discription : Blank.
4)I won't be ingratefull but I think the Yum Extender did functionate
better , more direct , gives more information , was more easely to use .
Kind regards and ask for help,
Ger van Dijck.

Enable mDNS name (.local) resolution on Fedora 28
by Marek Howard
Hi,
I've just installed Fedora 28 and I wanted to make it discoverable on
my local network via mDNS. I'm using Avahi to resolve .local names of
my ArchLinux and Ubuntu boxes. To make it work, I've installed and
started avahi daemon on both boxes and slightly modified 'host:' line
in /etc/nsswitch.conf (with the help of ArchWiki) to
hosts: files mymachines mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
However, on Fedora 28, the header of the aforementioned file has the
following at the top
# Generated by authselect on Tue May 21 10:25:11 2018
# Do not modify this file manually.
So I guess my changes would be overwritten at some future time when
authselect will be run by some daemon. I started avahi-daemon.service
but name resolution of .local hostnames, current machine hostname to be
precise (pluto.local), doesn't work.
# hostname
pluto
# ping pluto.local
ping: pluto.local: Name or service not known
I've also tried
# systemctl disable firewalld
before running commands above.
I don't know what authselect is (yet). I tried to Google it, ended up
at SSSD documentation and now I'm more confused than when I started. It
seems these tools/services are intended for enterprise environments,
not for my home, but I don't dismiss it, partly because I want to keep
my Fedora as it was designed.
How can I enable mDNS name resolution? I want to be able to resolve
mDNS names of other machines on local network as well as being able to
connect from these machines via Fedora's host mDNS name.
Thank you.

portable (really) Fedora on stick
by Aleksandar Kostadinov
Hi,
I'm reading documentation [1] for Fedora on a USB stick. The only option
to have a portable fedora on a stick seems to be by creating an overlay
FS and this certainly leads to getting out of disk space at some point.
I would really like to create Fedora on USB that I can plug anywhere and
work off it.
I was thinking that perhaps I can just install regular fedora on a USB
stick like I would do on a hard drive. Then it can be updated and used
just like any other Fedora machine. Perhaps disable persistent logging
and swap so that flash memory doesn't wear out.
One issue I presently know about is dracut. It creates by default images
that only support a specific hardware. i.e. if I install kernel on a
machine with an nforce disk controller, it will put in intird only that
module thus Fedora will not boot on a machine with AHCI controller.
Maybe this wouldn't matter when all things are on the USB drive but then
can there be a problem with different USB controller modules?
I was wondering if anybody tried that and has tips for greated portability.
Thank you,
Aleksandar

F28 - kernel-PAE missing?
by Jim Simmons
I upgraded a 32-bit Fedora 27 system to Fedora 28 using the normal dnf
upgrade procedure. The upgrade finished but the system is still
running a Fedora 27 kernel.
There don't appear to be any kernel-PAE* packages in the repos and I
don't see this mentioned anywhere in the docs I've found. Are they no
longer supported? A quick attempt at using the normal kernel didn't
work - the system went to a black screen with just a cursor and hung.
I did a control-alt-del and it hung with a message from systemd about
starting something to do with the root device. I ran out of time
testing - I'll look at it later.
Is there anythng special about going back to the regular kernel?
Thanks,
Jim

Bonjour,
I have seen that in fedora 28, 2.8 version of gimp is still provided....
Is there any chance to have the 2.10 version before f29 release?
Thank you.
