hi. i can install the package 'vim' via `sudo dnf install vim` but there is no package called vim in the list returned by `dnf search vim`. is there a way to get the real package name given the name vim? (i want a generic way to resolve such a name). - John

F25 : Quitting Remmina simply crashes Gnome-Shell
by Hoggins! 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hey there, I have a fairly embarrassing problem : just upgraded from F24 to F25 using 'dnf system-upgrade'. Everything works as smooth as expected... except... when I close Remmina OR when I lock my screen while Remmina is running, Gnome-Shell crashes and gets me back to the login screen, losing everything I had on screen. Have you experienced this ? What could I provide to help solve this ? Thanks ! Hoggins!

DKMS not Issuing Modprobe After Driver Compile at Boot Time
by Stephen Morris 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Hi, To test out dkms compiling and installing my wifi driver I have uninstalled the driver from the kernel with dkms, removed the driver from dkms and re-added the driver to dkms. When I boot Fedora dkms compiles and installs the driver into the kernel but it does not issue a modprobe to actually load the driver, how do I force dkms to do so, or alternatively am I missing the package that would provide that functionality? regards, Steve

ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Hi, my computer boot only in emergency mode ... Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl ) these lines in red color : ATA2:00: link is slow to respond.... (and after..) ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16) That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs.. I found a possible solution to the problem in this post: http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-err… There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by changing the position of a jumper on the HD... I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this operation.. So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs (my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago). I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can do to go around in my problem.. >From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get: give me this input : /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 Thank you regards Angelo

Mailman problem in F24and F25
by Beartooth 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

I'm not sure where I ought to post this; if there's still a Mailman list, it's not carried by Gmane. And even if there is, this may be a Fedora question. On my own domain (not Comcast) I've been running three lists under Mailman for a good many years and Fedora releases. Two of them are still fine. The third went into abeyance five years back. I want to resume it, or maybe start a replacement, with at least some of the former subscribers. But I never wrote the listowner password down, and of course I've forgotten it. I have both user access and root access to my domain, but no GUI, and the only way I've ever done anything with Mailman is through the GUI. Is there some way to use the CLI to find the list and set a dummy listowner password? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Freeing read locks?
by Tom Horsley 18 Feb '17

18 Feb '17

Every so often, when I run "dnf -y update" in a terminal, these messages will show up: [root@zooty ~]# dnf -y update BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x7a: 5771/139940940851008 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x7c: 5771/139940940851008 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x7d: 5771/139940940851008 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x7e: 5771/139940940851008 Anyone know what that's about? The only way I ever update the system is with the dnf update command. No weird installing rpms behind dnf's back or anything, so why are there sometimes readlocks? Just curiosity here, they don't seem to hurt anything.

httrack mirroring
by Alex 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hi, I'm used to using wget to mirror websites, but I need something more. I tried to use httrack, but I can't figure out how to tell it to just download everything without questions. It seems to download the HTML, but not the images linked within the HTML files. I've tried --mirror, -r, and I've spent quite a while reading examples and online documents. Is there a command option that can be used to tell it to just mirror the whole website, including every page and every image/file?

Tripp Lite PowerAlert software
by Robert Moskowitz 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Tripp Lite has their UPS management software available for Fedora Fedora 8 that is. SHEESH! Other that squeezing the source out of them and doing a build on a more modern Fedora, does anyone know of a UPS management software that will work with Tripp Lite UPS? BTW, I have been using Tripp Lite products since '84, so please don't recommend another brand of UPS. thanks
