F25 XFCE font rendering
by Heinz Diehl 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi, updated two machines from F24 to F25, and now the fonts configured in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance are no longer on the same level of sharpness/clarity as they were in previous Fedora releases. It is considerably visible in Thunderbird and Firefox. While there was no problem to get clear and sharp fonts using antialiasing and hinting, it now seems to be impossible, at least in programs that adapt their fonts from the above mentioned setting. Does anybody know what's going on and what I can do to get back pre-F25 behaviour? Thanks, Heinz

Fedora 24 -> 25 upgrade smooth and successful (but for one small vpn openconnect issue)
by Ranjan Maitra 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi, I have upgraded all my machines (3 laptops, 2 desktop warhorses) using fedup and all went smoothly. The only thing that does not work is openconnect with NetworkManager. I got the following when I looked into it. Could not load editor VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect' (missing plugin file "/usr/lib64/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so") Where do I get this plugin, and more importantly, why is it not pulled in with an upgrade/install? As an aside, while very smooth, I think that the upgrade itself can do with a bit more installation before the reboot: perhaps some of the things that are applications can be installed after the other ones have upgraded and after the system has come up since upgrade during the boot process leaves the computer pretty unusable. Just a thought: I have no idea if it is possible to implement what I am suggesting (or something similar) but I want to stress again that this was a very smooth upgrade in general. Thanks, Fedora developers!! Best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.

Nvidia drivers on F25
by Patrick O'Callaghan 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Apparently Nvidia has yet to release F25 drivers for the GEforce 6 series among others. Is this correct? I'm currently using Nouveau and it's fine so far but I haven't stressed it much and would like to have the option. poc

No X/KDE after upgrade to F24
by Stephen Davies 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

I have just completed the upgrade from F23 to F24 and rebooted to the new version. The system now boots to console mode and I have to login and type startx to get to KDE. F23 started X and KDE automagically. I also seem to have lost some libraries. e.g. the 32-bit version of libncurses.so.5 Several daemons failed to start at reboot. These include all those in rc.local (yes. I do still have a few.) and openvpn. Running rc.local manually works and starting openvpn manually with systemctl also works. What could cause these issues? Cheers and thanks, Stephen

Firewall methods for fedora25
by Alex 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

Hi, I'm most familiar and comfortable with iptables, and use shorewall on my firewalls. With fedora23, it appears the default has shifted to firewalld. This has created a problem for me ever since, particularly with trying to build a reasonable firewall on my mail servers, as well as interacting with fail2ban. We typically offer submission, simap/spop, smtp, http/https, ssh, and domain services on our Internet servers. We also need snmp and nrpe for monitoring. Does anyone have a set of reasonable firewalld rules and understand how it interacts with fail2ban that they could share? firewalld doesn't even include all these services by default, so it's necessary to do it one port at a time... firewalld just doesn't seem to be appropriate for anything more than a desktop. I'd appreciate any ideas on how you build a firewall for fedora servers, particularly as it relates to interoperating with fail2ban and standard Internet services. Thanks, Alex

Desktop icons on Fedora 25??
by Michael D. Setzer II 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

Saw that Fedora 25 was released, so did a fedup update on one of my classroom machines to show students in my Saturday Linux course. Update seemed to go thru with no issues, but did notice that there are no desktop icons?? Checked the gnome-tweak-tools, and it is set to show them, and the files are still in the desktop folder?? Anyone know why that would not show. Even found a link to use dconf-editor, but its setting shows that the value for the icons is true? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Firefox troubles & KDE Plasma Workspace Crash
by Jonathan Ryshpan 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

If I open too many tabs in Firefox, it becomes extremely slow, sometimes too slow to be usable. If I terminate it when it's slow, very frequently KDE's Plasma Workspace (shell) crashes; fortunately Plasma Workspace always restarts quickly. The bug can't be reported by gnome-abrt, since the memory dump is too large. Has anyone else seen this? I would like to report this as a bug, but I'm not sure which bugzilla to report it to.

Down(up)grading from desktop to server
by Robin Laing 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

I have an old desktop that is being re-purposed to a file server. What is the best procedure with F25 coming out. Presently running F23. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=25 As a desktop, it was dual purpose but now will be just a file server. Is it better to just remove the extra packages manually before the upgrade or to remove some and upgrade the rest? I don't want to rebuild the whole system from scratch as I have a number of systems to do that to already.

Hdd not seen in bios after installing Fedora
by octysro＠gmail.com 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

So I am currently having this issues : my hdd is not listed in the bios boot menu after installing Fedora in dual boot with Windows 10. To check if all the partitions are ok, I used the Fedora live and everything seems ok. It lists both windows and the freshly created Fedora partitions. Still, when i reboot and get into BIOS the only boot option is the DVD. Is it possible that the windows didn't shut down completely before installing Fedora and now the hdd is still mounted somehow , hiding it from the bios boot menu? Any ideas for making the hdd visible again?
