VNC and sound
by Chris Kottaridis 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

I am running Fedora 22 on a machine that is off in a closet and am using VNC to access it from a machine at my desk. I followed the instructions in System Admin guide chapter 8: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/System_Administrators_G… I successfully got Tiger VNC server working. it was quite easy. Cudos to everyone involved to make that so simple. My VNC client is Windows TigerVNC version 1.5. I don't seem to get sound. It doesn't seem to come out on my VNC client or on the VNC server's sound card. My remote machine is close enough that I could run a wire from it's sound card to the speakers on my desk if that is easier. But, right now I can;t get the sound to come out the VNC server sound card. Any pointers or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks Chris Kottaridis

Fedora mirror speed's are low!
by Mihuleac Sergiu 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hi! I'm from Romania, the speed from Fedora repo mirror is very low (from 50kb/s to 1 mb/s when it's good, usually the download speed stays between 50 and 150 kb/s with the official repos and over 1 mb/s with other repos ) when doing updates and when I install packages with dnf. I tried using fastmirror module but I see there is no change and I lose even more time because of the search for the best mirror. 1. What can I do to resolve this issue? 2. Is there a way to manually test mirrors and chose the best one for me? 3. How do I know witch mirror can I trust? 4. Where can I find a mirror list? 5. How can I create a local mirror? --- Best Wishes, Mihuleac Sergiu

Sound not working with F22 on ThinkPad T60
by Dave Johansen 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

I recently did a clean install of F22 Mate Spin from F21 and sound is no longer working. I tried the recommendations from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems but nothing seemed to work. Is there anything else I should try? Thanks, Dave

Upgrade advice
by Jeffrey Ross 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to upgrade an older Fedora system and keep as many of the configurations as possible for the applications that are being used. Currently the system is running Fedora 16 and there are at least two things that are preventing me from successfully running fedup or the yum upgrade. The first stumbling block is that system was installed with separate partitions for /, /boot, /var, & /usr and I think that the separation of / and /usr is my biggest issue. The second issue is the system is setup with RAID1 on all partitions with the bootloader (Grub ?) installed on both disks in the event of a disk failure. I would like to avoid a new/clean install (I know I can preserve /home) if at all possible. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks, Jeff

Configuring/setup of WiFi card on Dell E6220 Laptop
by Max Pyziur 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Greetings, I've just installed F22 on a Dell E6220 laptop (in anticipations of next week's F23 rollout). ;-) A few issues left to squre I'm trying to setup WiFi (the Ethernet device works correctly, btw). There is an external switch controlling power to the card, and an indicator light. Those show that the item is "on." lspci -v for the WiFi card reports the following: 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1530 Half-size Mini PCIe Card Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at e1b00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?> Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-19-ff-ff-5a-60-d8 Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?> Kernel modules: bcma iwconfig and ifconfig -a report no instance of the card. In NetworkManager, this is no MAC address shown for a WiFi card when I try to do a WiFi setup I assume that is a kernel module issue. When I issue the modprobe bcma and then lsmod | grep bcma it shows that the module is loaded. However having googled some on this subject, I see that there are probably other modules (and configuration settings) required to make this WiFi card operable. Per suggestions, I have installed kmod-wl, akmod-wl, but I suspect that there is something else that needs to be done. Much thanks for any advice on this topic. Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Another F22 issue
by Stephen Davies 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Under F21, I could configure a screen saver which trawled through my photo collection. I cannot find this facility under F22. Does it exist? If so, where? If not, why not?
