Fedora – Easier ‘Fix’ for F28 Wine..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 22, 2018 by RGJune 22, 2018

Wine on Fedora 28 is still broken with some windows apps, and to avoid having to individually download and then run RPM on a series of F27 wine rpms, it is possible to use dnf to do the update/replacement with the – working – Fedora 27 versions. # dnf update *wine* –releasever=27 –allowerasing –best This only works … Continue reading →

Fedora – F28 Annoyances, and Workarounds..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 1, 2018 by RGJune 1, 2018

Running Fedora 28 on the test system, I have encountered the following issues with various applications, and found substitute rpm workarounds..  Usually, these can be installed by downloading them ,and then using # rpm -Uvh……… –force.. Grub-customizer still crashes, but the F27 version works ( grub-customizer-5.0.6-6.fc27.x86_64 ) Wine crashes with some windows apps, and the workaround is … Continue reading →

GCC – Update to 8.1.1 – Still Gives Kernel Compile Warnings..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 7, 2018 by RGMay 7, 2018

Fedora 28 has GCC 8.1.1 available (currently in ‘updates-testing‘ repo), and I tested this with Kernel 4.17-rc4, to see if there was any improvement in the horde of warnings generated with 8.0.1. In short, there is no real difference: ……………………………… CC security/keys/request_key.o arch/x86/kvm/lapic.o: warning: objtool: kvm_lapic_reg_read()+0x126: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame arch/x86/kvm/lapic.o: warning: … Continue reading →

Fedora – F28 GCC 8 Now OK with Kernel 4.16.7, and fix for Grub-Customizer..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 2, 2018 by RGMay 2, 2018

Tried Kernel 4.16.7 on Fedora 28 (GCC 8.0.1), and this now compiles successfully, although still with a lot of ‘warnings’.. I use grub-customizer with each new kernel, and the F28 version of this fails: # grub-customizer Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) *** initializing (w/o specified bootloader type)… * reading partition info… /usr/include/c++/8/bits/basic_string.h:1048: std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, … Continue reading →

Fedora – 28 Released, but Fails with GCC 8 and Kernel 4.16…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 2, 2018 by RGMay 2, 2018

Fedora 28 has been released, but this includes GCC 8 (8.0.1) which – currently – is not capable of compiling Kernel 4.16 as-is (tested with 4.16.6): …………………………….

Kernel – GCC 8 Tests – Not Quite Ready…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 22, 2018 by RGMarch 22, 2018

I decided to try updating a crash-and-burn test system to Fedora 28 (early-beta..) as this included GCC 8 (currently 8.0.1), to see how well the Kernel (4.16-rc6) compiled.. There were a lot of warnings generated: …………………… CC [M] drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8523.o CC drivers/usb/core/file.o CC drivers/video/hdmi.o CC [M] drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8563.o drivers/video/hdmi.c: In function ‘hdmi_spd_infoframe_init’: drivers/video/hdmi.c:171:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 8 equals … Continue reading →
