Is it just me again??
Since I disabled the update applet I manually allowed an update today
and it came with a new kernel
uname -a
Linux unimatrix 5.3.7-desktop-4.mga7 #1 SMP Thu Oct 24 20:11:12 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I checked during grub boot and found a bunch of redundant kernels which
I removed with MCC,
Only to find the listing still in grub boot. Running "update-grub2"
removed them _ should not MCC software run "update-grub2" after an
install??
Further
All the desktop effects a gone I still have 4 virtual desktops but no
grid, no edge switching. transparency is gone
I can't imagine a connection there that could have clobbered the desktop effects, but I can't see that an update would have either.

I can't do anything now, I am recording TV.
I am running the previous kernel and still without desktop effects
Linux unimatrix 5.3.6-desktop-2.mga7
A load of stuff came through; it may be something other than kernel or driver.

Yeah, that is a bit more than just a kernel install.
Beside normal kernel update files, drm is digital rights management
stuff for playing downloaded movies/video.
mesa and the x11 video driver are definite candidates for possible video
Anytime I see new kernel, x11*, mesa. I definitely do a system/install
backup prior to doing the updates.
Oh yeah, as to my earlier reply of testing/fault isolation of Desktop Environment problems, it would be best to always reset the junk account
to a day one setting. I can recommend having a script to do the work.
Here is a quick untested script as a guide.

Now is the time to tell me that I would have done myself a favour if I
had experimented with rsync and backing up Mga7 BEFORE the update
I checked MCC and vesa is an option.. More fun tomorrow.

What was that you said about 20/20
Junk is already a plasma installation and I found a window in my
recording schedule to quickly test Mga6
The desktop effects work fine on Mga6.
So that pretty much accuses one or more of the upgrade files on Mga7.
Baffling stuff
I have a regular gigabyte mother board, a regular Nvidia graphic card
the only wild card for me is the SSD.

Yeah, playing in cauldron to verify my install/change scripts work,
and managing to clobber it numerous times, my hindsight gets sharper
all the tine. :(
That is why I also have a cauldron_bkup partition besides the "Production" hotbu partition.

Yes, but in your last soap opera I thought you had used it for
xfce testing to rule out plasma restarting your nic when down.
Still kinda hoping that is caused via Dhcp*/dynamic ip addressing.

Yup, I would guess the SSD should only bring timing problems to light
when new. As they wear out, I would expect weird problems.

Everybody has the same updates.

I tried vesa driver this morning and lost "X" completely.
I got many complaints about conflicting modules.
Crash and burn :-(
I was driven to consider a reinstall -Ahhggg!!!
Fortunately Mga7 is accessible from Mga6 and I saved the ~/HOME hidden
files knowing this would speed recovery
But then I noticed the option to update with the install media and it
worked !!!!
Reinstalled the nvidia driver and we are back
So were are still in the race.

I didn't get to that process.

I did consider the two files in /etc/ifplugd

That reminds me. A failing power supply where the power provided sometimes
below whats required, but not always, will have very unpredictable effects. Not easy to test for though.

I thought it did, since I seem to recall some grub messages. Then again
I always remove the previous kernel if the new kernel boots.

I have installed xfce and ran it in "junk"
It does have the four desktops but I found no way to display them in a
"grid"
Plasma allows this by defining a screen edge to take the cursor too
which then switches the screen to display a two by two grid of the desktops.
I am missing this seriously - muscle memory still takes my cursor to the
top of the screen when I expect to see the four desktops displayed.

Change the row count/value.

Ok, I was thinking about the grid in the task bar.
to switch workspaces I just roll the wheel on the mouse to cycle through desktops or middle click mouse and pick whichever app that is already running.

Frap, should have said nic card instead of it.
It's supposed to, but this is a known bug that's been around since at
least all of Mageia 6, where grub is not updated properly if you remove
more than one kernel at a time.
When you got the kernel update, did you also get the accompanying kernel-devel packages? If not, then dkms would have been unable to build

In my cursory examination of Xfce I couldn't find a similar arrangement,
ie: a net-applet to enable/disable. I didn't have time to look for long

That was part of the investigation to eliminate the Desktop Environment.
I had expected you to click up a terminal,

ip -o link show $_net_nic
verify state is DOWN then check if state goes back to UP with

I did find a "Windows Appearance" I think that allowed the
transparency to be adjusted but not to the extent of Plasma. I
suspect that the Plasma effects are the old Compiz 3D desktop
Nope. Plasma uses KWin as the default window manager, and KWin does use OpenGL for its compositing effects, just as Compiz does, but Compiz is
an entirely different beast.

I ran your commands three times

Good, I can recommend running it before doing any testing in that
account when wanting to rule out or testing to see if problem(s)
is system wide or just a user problem.

You can check/get your ISP Internet ip address by running
wget -qO - http://icanhazip.com
in a terminal.
If you want to disable it on your node, add/set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1"
in /etc/default/grub and run
update-grub
Next boot should have ifconfig $_net_nic without a ipv6 address
and I hope no 169-254... route.

Hmmm, if that is the answer in a screen that I think it is,
I always set it to NO. that way, NetworkManager does not get control

Since I do a / backup into my /hotbu prior to update, the

THE CRDA setting is only needed for wireless network interfaces as it isused to
control which radio channels the device may use. While it can be set forethernet
devices, it is not used for anything. As per it's man page, the crda commandis
not intended for manual use, only for use in udev scripts that set theenvironment
up as needed for that command.

One day I will try to network the printer
Ah, I had forgotten about that. You should be able to configure the
printer ethernet connection as
static ip address as 192.168.1.200
net mask as 255.255.255.0
gateway as 192.168.1.254
dns 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1
add something like
192.168.1.200 printer.local.test printer
to /etc/hosts.
Thereafter you can use the printer alias, example
ping -c1 printer.
Oh, yeah, have you changed your domain name to something
other than .localdomain?
Your router snippet dump, showed ip leases are obsolete after 24 hours.
That means without static ip assignments, and you were to have a power outage with printer and node up. after 24 your power comes back the node
ip could be 192.168.1.2 and printer would be 192.168.1.1 if printer
asks for an ip lease first.

Hehehe, your lease file given by your router had
option domain-name "home.gateway";
Might not hurt to set lan and router to use whatever domain name
you chose.
I refer you to section 5 into the above document.
What I want to impress upon lurkers/you is you do not want packets/messages/mail/whatnot leaving your system/lan that should
have stayed on the lan. Go read section 2.
For awhile I would use ping to verify no one was using the TLD.
I would assume some code might add .com to the name and at that
point I could/might get into trouble for causing traffic to that domain.
Just for fun,
ping -c1 -w3 localdomain.com
to see who might be irritated by getting messages destine for unimatrix.localdomain.com
ping -c1 -w3 lan.com seems to indicate that TODAY it does not exist.
same for ping -c1 -w3 mylan.com
Is "local.test" an official domain name
no, but try
ping -c1 -w3 local.com
My recommendation is that you should have a FQDN for every node/device
on your system, and the TLD should be .test or if you want .invalid
if you have not bought/have a registered domain.
I am open to suggestions,
I had given you three suggestions, using .test as the TLD.
I do not recommend using .invalid because I have seen an app or two
not work well with that TLD and when you have a second node, you might
not be able to communicate between the two.
"localdomain" came from the default host name
back in the RedHat days - it just stuck
I started my first Linux install with Slackware, and
kinda thought darkstar was handy for a node name.
or cups?
Ah, ha. Me thinks we are in two different conversations.
The conversation in the past about setting up a network printer, and
ethernet cable, caused me to assume you had more than one node on the lan. For instance a tablet or a laptop and wanted to be able to print from them.
Whether you stick with single node physical usb/ethernet connection
directly on your node/desktop, or go with ethernet cable to router,
you still have to get into cups for setting up access for printing.
I shall have to wait for a suitable epiphany to deliver my host name

My error I got that way trying various arrangement with MCC printer setup
ipp://prnt.cryptid.test/ipp
The crazy one worked too
Which is because it was in /etc/hosts.
How is it that your address for "yourtv" is different?
That is somewhat the point I was trying to make. ip address can vary
for several reasons. Look at this, it was
PING e5589.dscg.akamaiedge.net (23.76.193.120) 56(84) bytes of data.
and now it is
$ ping -c1 www.yourtv.com.au | head -1
PING e5589.dscg.akamaiedge.net (23.11.216.226) 56(84) bytes of data.

Interesting. So as long as the errors are internally consistent across
the system, it can work.

Hmmm, I really do not like that "theory" especially in light of the
current circumstance.
What I can say is you do have a nice coincidence which caused no
noticeable problem at this time, in respect to the printer.
If it were me, I would not be happy until I had check directories
for any files needing/using your old domain name.
Before I forget it, what is the current setup for enp0s31f6 ip address, static or dynamic/dhcp?
I was wondering if / when I would be struck down with any possible knock
on effects from the name changes.

Just depends on what happens when and where you are at now.
Now that all LAN nodes have static ip, at this point, I will assume
that any network configuration problems, should show up after
next boot, if any. If so, location of FQDN, domain should be easy to
run down.
Offhand, /etc/hostname, /etc/resolv.conf ,/etc/sysconfig/network and
is all I can think of, in your setup, for cryptid.test problems.
Since you have indicated static ip for unimatrix I suggest /etc/hosts
should have
192.168.1.100 unimatrix.cryptid.test unimatrix
not 127.0.0.2 unimatrix.cryptid.test unimatrix
While in there, add
192.168.1.254 gateway.cryptid.test gateway
That way if you have internet connectivity problems, a quick
ping -c1 gateway, will tell you everything is good upto/at the
LAN side of your modem/router.
If you were to look around in your router, you might find the ip address
of the WAN side of router and its gateway.
I placed those in /etc/hosts so I could ping them to see if that is
where my network is broke when I can not get internet connectivity.
If I am not mistaken, you might find that the router's WAN ip is the
same as your internet ip address found with
wget -qO - http://icanhazip.com
If so, you could add something like
46.153.224.69 ISP.needs.2.fix_this myip
46.159.228.1 isp-gateway ispgw
With that I can ping -c1 myip to know if I can get to WAN side of router
and if passes, ping -c1 ispgw, to see if router can get to ISP's gateway
on my assigned segment.
If not, I power cycle, the router, and try again. Still broke, get into router's web page and check if ip/gateway have changed. If so, fix /etc/hosts, and test again.
If information is still valid in router, I know the problem is upstream starting from the wire hooked to the modem.
Tell me, a little bit about that, is it a modem/router box, or a
modem box and a router box?

I have 5 dual channel SiliconDust network tv tuners giving me 10 unique recordings at a time, and if the channel has sub-channels, myth can also record those on the same tuner at the same time.

You should have started the reply and pasted what you want to work with
into a file, abort the reply, start/create the new thread, then paste
in the contents from the file into your new post and make your changes.

Hey, I gotta have something to do while lurking on Usenet. :)
Current average is around twenty minutes of commercials per hour of show.
I just fast forward and save lots of time.
