There should be a process running in the background, named gns3server. To check this, run the command pgrep gns3server.

This process should be listening on port 3080. To check this, use the command ss -lntp | grep 3080.

Most likely, something prevented the gns3server from starting, and the two commands won't display anything relevant.

Since the more recent versions of Fedora use systemd for managing services, you may find information about the failure with the commands systemctl status gns3 or journalctl -l -u gns3. The latter command must be executed as root.

Alternatively, check the GNS3 log file, which is probably /var/log/gns3/gns3.log (see also the systemd service definition).

Another possibility: The gns3server was not installed at all. Check if the file /usr/bin/gns3server exists and can be executed. On my Fedora 28 PC, GNS3 consists of three packages:
Code:
$ rpm -qa|grep -i gns3
gns3-gui-2.1.5-1.fc28.noarch
gns3-net-converter-1.3.0-6.fc28.noarch
gns3-server-2.1.5-2.fc28.x86_64
Perhaps gns3-server is missing on your system.
