Weird transparency in display
by Beartooth 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Running F22 in either rescue or normal mode, I have a problem that I don't see how to attack. When I click on anything that is supposed to bring up a menu, it seems to -- but so faintly that I can't read any of it. How do I remedy this?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

fedup to F22 issues
by Stephen Davies 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

I have just run fedup --network 22 and have several issues as a result. 1. PostgreSQL databases were not upgraded from 9.3 to 9.4 and subsequent attempts to do this manually fail due to locale differences (AU vs US). (I have requested help on the PostgreSQL list). 2. Amavisd-new no longer works due to issues with PERL. This seems to be a result of updating PERL from 5.18 to 5.20 breaking a bunch of modules. I thought that I had resolved these by following the hints in cpan error messages but cannot install Net::LibIDN because idna.h is missing. I am forced to run without spam or virus checking as a result. 3. All of my local sendmail aliases disappeared causing many inbound emails to be rejected. I manually rebuilt /etc/mail/aliases to fix this. 4. After rebooting to F22, I had only one workspace. I reconfigured to four via settings but now I get apparently random blank screen with just the mouse cursor visible. Not even a task bar. The only way that I have found to get my work spaces back is to logout and login again. 5. Some fonts (particularly within Wine apps??) have changed and are much less readable than before. MyHeritage Family Tree Builder is one example. I have no idea which fonts were used in F21 nor in F22. I'd be grateful for any help in resolving these. Cheers, Stephen

F22 and missing font Courier New 10
by Gregory P. Ennis 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Everyone, I created a new install of F22 64 and to my surprise the 'courier New 10' is missing from Libreoffice. Does anyone have an rpm replacement. I have a bunch of documents that use this font and would like to continue it. There are some other fonts that are close, but none that is an exact duplicate which means the formatting will need to be different on the new or edited old documents. Thanks much, Greg Ennis

Bluetooth woes (again)
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Once again my BT mouse is acting up and I have no idea why. I've been using it with no problems for months, through successive updates to the kernel, and it has Just Worked. Then suddenly it doesn't. The configuration dialogues (on both Gnome and KDE) see the mouse and give its Mac address, show it as paired, trusted and not blocked, but say it's "unreachable". The mouse has adequate battery and power cycling makes no difference. My BT adaptor is a Broadcom dongle. It has up to date firmware (as of a couple of months ago). This has happened several times in the past (e.g. see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2014-March/447579.html) and just as suddenly seems to fix itself, sometimes after several days of complete frustration. This is F22 fully updated, using both kernel-4.1.8-200.fc22.x86_64 and kernel-4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64 The mouse has never failed on my other system, a laptop running Fedora 21 but with a builtin BT adaptor. If anyone has something to suggest, I'm all ears. poc

Article: Patch this braXen bug: Hypervisor hole lets guest VMs hijack hosts http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/29/xen_security/ Perhaps nothing new, but perhaps some xen hypervisor users did not know.
