Whoever patches this should get rid of the useless 'err' variable... (In reply to Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from comment #1) > Whoever patches this should get rid of the useless 'err' variable... It wouldn't be useless if errno wasn't thread-specific. Which it is. Bad habit. Please file upstream bugs in the future. Fixed both upstream.

We need to have a downstream ticket here because we're in Final Freeze and would need a Freeze Exception or Blocker status in order to pull this in. Oh, and +1 FE from me. It will need release notes changes too. Where would I do that? switcheroo-control-1.1-1.fc25 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 25. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-3d2ba1299d switcheroo-control-1.1-1.fc25 has been pushed to the Fedora 25 testing repository.

switcheroo-control is written to exit 1 if no switchable graphics hardware is present: /* Check for VGA switcheroo availability */ fd = open (SWITCHEROO_SYSFS_PATH, O_WRONLY); if (fd < 0) { int err = errno; switch (err) { case EACCES: g_warning ("switcheroo-control needs to run as root"); break; case ENOENT: g_debug ("No switcheroo support available"); break; default: g_warning ("switcheroo-control could not query vga_switcheroo status: %s", g_strerror (err)); } return 1; } This means the switcheroo-control service will very commonly fail on boot. This is bad, we don't want failed services, they cause users to worry (and we have an openQA test that checks for them which will fail forever if this is not fixed). This should be tweaked somehow so the service isn't considered 'failed' when no switchable graphics are present. Nominating as a freeze exception as I believe this is worth fixing for F25 Final and we're in freeze. There are several ways to fix this that shouldn't be too dangerous.
