How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin)
by Kenneth Wolcott 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

Hi; How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin) I just downloaded and installed Fedora 22 KDE spin as a VIrtualBox guest OS. I have updated. I'm trying to change the am/pm time format to 24-hour time format. Under System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Date & Time I do not find any way to change the format of my time, only my timezone, which I do not wish to change. I tried to change the icon itself but that doesn't work either. Thanks, Ken Wolcott

Hi All; I just installed Fedora 22 KDE spin as a VirtualBox guest. I tried to disable the automatics screen lock but it still turns on automatically. I want to invoke it manually only (if ever). How to disable the automatics screen lock? Thanks, Ken Wolcott

/boot and encrypted partitions?
by Dave Johansen 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

I was luck enough to be bitten by this issue ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212907 ) when attempting to do a clean install of F22. I copied all of my data off and then tried manually setting things up as separate partitions (instead of in an LVM) but it kept telling me that /boot couldn't be on a LUKS partition. The config I had was /home was encrypted and / was encrypted but then the biosboot partition was not encrypted, and all 3 were standard partitions. Is this something that's just not supported? Or was I doing something wrong? Thanks, Dave

It seems that the direct drag/drop process selects the wrong target action.

LINUX is full of music: K3b identifies kernel images in /boot as audio files :-)
by Joachim Backes 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hi all, seems, LINUX is full of sound: Trying to write /boot/vmlinuz... to a data CD with k3b. If I drag such a file to the "Data Project" subwindow of k3b, it is identified as audio file, and the CD burning is rejected. Same with files like initramfs... This happens at least with k3b-2.0.3-3.fc22.x86_64. Kind regards -- Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) Kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

UEFI system: reboot does not work but shutdown -r now does
by Ranjan Maitra 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hi, On a new UEFI-boot desktop running Fedora 22, the command (on a terminal prompt) "reboot" does not actually bring up the system. Actually, it is not clear that the system even goes down. What happens is that the monitor light goes off but the desktop light stays on -- and nothing happens. I don't even see the Fedora f/infinity bubble. However, running "shutdown -r now" brings the Fedora f/infinity bubble, the lights switch and the system boots again. What is the issue here? Any suggestions? I have never had this happen previously, but then this my first try at a UEFI system. Is it possible to disable "reboot" -- i am concerned about "reboot"ing remotely by habit and accident and the system not coming up until being powered on. I considered renaming the file /usr/sbin/reboot to something else, but then an update to systemd would likely break my "fix".
