Need advice with a "hot running" graphics card
by Kay Schenk 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Hello all-- I have a old Radeon HD 2400 graphics card in my desktop connected by DVI to my monitor. It may be my imagination but it seems that since upgrading to 6.8 recently, after about 4 hours of use, my system seems to run "hot". I don't think its the man power until but maybe the graphics card? I found references to odd/high power consumption with radeons an particular kernel/radeon versions. And, now I find this old post: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17948 So 6.8 is 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.i686 Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions? -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "Time spent with cats is never wasted." -- Sigmund Freud

CentOS 6, gdb
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Jun '16

Got a user who claims he was running this program, then it broke recently. Almost no updates in a while, and none relevant. I'm guessing the program's compiled from fortran to c.... Anyway, the issue's on two servers. On one, I installed a couple of compat libs, and it runs. The other still fails (but it doesn't have some of the i686 libs. When it fails, it's immediate, and reports dying with a SIGKILL. ldd claims it's not a dynamic executable, but file tells me it's a 32 bit ELF.... Running it under strace gives me no more. So, as one last resort (Confess! You have three last resorts!), I'm trying to run it under gdb. On the system it runs on, I can b main, and it gets there when I tell it run. On the other... the address appears to be the same, it's in his NFS-mounted home directory - it never gets to main, it just reports the sigkill. So, what I'd *really* like to do is not tell it run, but next, or step, but I can't. Anyone heavy enough into gdb to be able to suggest where I can tell it to break during the program initialization phase, before it gets to main? mark

CenOS 6.8 and libGL failures
by isdtor 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Ever since I upgraded to CentOS 6.8, some software has stopped working alogether. This is related to OpenGL/mesa and can be demonstrated with glxgears: $ glxgears libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 33 Current serial number in output stream: 35 $ This appears to be a common problem, but I found no solutions that apply here since I believe everything is installed and set up correctly. It all worked with CentOS 6.x, x<8. https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56273 https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/38116/issues-with-libgl-on-fedora…

Trace back related to nouveau with 6.8
by David G. Miller 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hi All - Ever since I upgraded to 6.8 I have usually been getting a trace back report for some bits related to Nouveau whenever the screensaver has been running and I get back into the system. Along the lines of: :Pid: 31, comm: events/4 Tainted: G W -- ------------ 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 #1 :Call Trace: :[<ffffffff8107c911>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x91/0xe0 :[<ffffffff8107c97a>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 :[<ffffffffa00e35b6>] ? drm_helper_choose_crtc_dpms+0xa6/0xb0 [drm_kms_helper] :[<ffffffffa00e40d6>] ? drm_helper_connector_dpms+0xe6/0x1a0 [drm_kms_helper] :[<ffffffffa01e1e80>] ? nv50_crtc_dpms+0x0/0x10 [nouveau] :[<ffffffffa0134f01>] ? nvif_notify_init+0x121/0x160 [nouveau] :[<ffffffffa01dfe42>] ? nouveau_connector_hotplug+0x92/0xd0 [nouveau] :[<ffffffffa0134f40>] ? nvif_notify_work+0x0/0xc0 [nouveau] :[<ffffffffa0134f6e>] ? nvif_notify_work+0x2e/0xc0 [nouveau] :[<ffffffffa01ecf10>] ? nouveau_fence_work_handler+0x0/0x30 [nouveau] :[<ffffffff8109fdc0>] ? worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 :[<ffffffff810a6ac0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 :[<ffffffff8109fc50>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x2a0 :[<ffffffff810a662e>] ? kthread+0x9e/0xc0 :[<ffffffff8100c28a>] ? child_rip+0xa/0x20 :[<ffffffff810a6590>] ? kthread+0x0/0xc0 :[<ffffffff8100c280>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 PID 31 is: root 31 0.9 0.0 0 0 ? S Jun03 12:44 [events/4] It seems to be innocuous (everything seems to still work) but things that seem to be innocuous have a habit of coming back and biting me. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix it? Both kernel and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau are current as is the rest of the system. Not finding anything with Google. Cheers, Dave

by Alessandro Baggi 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hi list, I'm planning to buy a mobo (z170-K) that has Realtek 8111GR (nic). I've tried to search on google about support on C7 but can't fine anything. There is a way to check if supported? Is the Realtek 8111GR supported or I must change mobo? Thanks in advance.

I just had to browse to a printer... and with https-use-strict at a server higher up, firefox *would* *not* let me get there. I don't see the circa-2012 printer offering https. Luckily, there was konqueror, which *did* let me go to http://<printer> I just *adore* SmartSoftware that Won't Let You Endanger Yourself.... Reminds me of Jack Williamson's old novel, The Humanoids.
