Terminal scroll bar -
by Bob Goodwin 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

I have two essentially identically configured Fedora-25 workstation [fresh] installations. One has a scroll bar on the right side of the xfce4-terminal display, the other does not. This one that does not have the scroll bar began as F-25 alpha/beta and was upgraded from there. I just tried a Dell Latitude upgraded directly from F-23 to F-25, it HAS the terminal scroll bar. I have gone through the various menu items but have not been able to see anything different there. I find this inconvenient. Any suggestion on fixing this will be appreciated.

disk monopolized?
by Tom Horsley 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Last night I was "optimizing" a qcow2 virtual image (after zero filling the free space), running (as root): qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 old.img new.img The copying and scanning for zero blocks pretty much took over the disk. Anything else I tried to run which needed access to something on that disk would hang for minutes at a time before getting through. Is that normal behavior? I thought folks were supposed to take turns and play nice together :-).

where did http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/rhel5/x86_64/ go?
by joshgreyhat＠gmail.com 13 Dec '16

Until today, there hasn't been an issue using this repository. My searching did bring up a similar issue that plagued someone back in 2008. Here is the link: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-infrastructure-list/2008-August/msg0… INFO: Mock Version: 1.2.21 Start: yum install http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/rhel5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.…: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror. Here is what is in the Mock config for epel5-x86_64 [groups] name=groups baseurl=http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/rhel5/x86_64/ Anyone know where this went or if there is a replacement?

why is /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf not being consulted?
by Robert P. J. Day 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

i'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but i'm digging around in systemd-coredump, and while the file /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf contains: kernel.core_pattern=|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %e the file /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern still contains: |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t %P %I am i missing something here? is there a precedence/ordering issue, or have i forgotten to start some relevant systemd service? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Does anyone have hdmi out working on Dell XPs 15 L502x with Fedora 25?
by padraic7a 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi folks, I have a Dell XPS 15 [L502x]. It comes with an Nvidia GeForce GT525 GPU card. It's an Optimus laptop so an Intel card powers the main display but the hdmi out port connects to the Nvidia card. I have never had the HDMI out work in Fedora and would like to rectify that. Before I go back down the various rabbit-holes around optimus, bumblebee, nvidia, nouveau, Wayland and xorg I would like to find someone who has it working - just to see what they use, or even to know that it is possible! If you have a Dell L502x running Fedora 25 and you have your HDMI out running please let me know. It would be great if you could post your working config. If you run a different flavour of linux I would also be interested. If you could take follow on questions that would be great! I previously posted about this on: ask.fedraproject https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/97486/does-anyone-have-hdmi-out-w… unix.stackexchange [I posted the question with 50 points bounty here] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/327340/can-anyone-post-a-working-co… It hasn't picked up mush interest, but if receive any useful information here I will post it back to both sites.

f23 :: kde and qt updates broken
by Adrian Sevcenco 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi! It would seem that the configs for the qt and kde updates were broken .. trying to update i have this : Error: package kf5-frameworkintegration-5.27.0-1.fc23.x86_64 requires qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.6.1, but none of the providers can be installed. ........... and so on but if i try only qt5 update : dnf -v update qt5-* --best --allowerasing i get removing 7 packages : kde-print-manager kde-print-manager-libs plasma-desktop plasma-integration plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-drkonqi sddm-breeze and downgrading: kdeplasma-addons kf5-frameworkintegration kf5-frameworkintegration-libs kf5-kdeclarative kf5-kwayland kf5-plasma and the actual qt5 packages proposed for update are 5.6.2-1 so .. what is going on? Thank you! Adrian

setting up dictd-server on local machine
by Steve Foley 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

Hello, can anyone kindly point me in the right direction in setting up dictd-server. I am experienced with Linux but new to Fedora and SELinux. I have installed the package: dnf install dictd-service Went through the docs: /usr/share/doc/dictd-server/INSTALL Added a dictd config file: /etc/dictd.conf Now, I'm a bit confused. There are several example config files in the doc directory, plus a folder of SELinux examples. I haven't allowed access in the dictd.conf file since I'm only going to run on a local machine. When I attempt to start with systemctl: /bin/systemctl status dictd.service I get the following error: ● dictd.service - Dictd Dictionary Server Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dictd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2016-12-09 00:09:12 EST; 41s ago Process: 2493 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dictd --listen-to 127.0.0.1 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 2494 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Dec 09 00:09:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Dictd Dictionary Server Daemon...

Dec 09 00:09:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: dictd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. I looked through the internet for references, but I guess installing dictd-server on Fedora 25 is not a popular thing to do. Thanks!

cannot install vmwre tools from the command line
by ProPAAS DBA 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

All; I've installed vmware workstation on Fedora 25, now when I try to update vmware tools I get a gui that fails with: There was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact VMware Support or your system administrator I want to just doit the old way but I dont have a choice whn I click VM --> Install vmwre tools I saw a post awhile back that indicated a package to install via dnf and it was solved however I cannot find it and the search on the fedora list site seems to be broken - I cannot go past the first page of results Anyone know what the fx is to get vmware to simply mount the tools as a cd when I choose VM -> install vmware tools ? Thanks in advance

Brother, can you spare a printer?

Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-) I'm looking at a Brother HL-L2340DW laser printer. I can't discover any specifics as to whether it works with Fedora, although, "Linux is supported" Does anyone have any experience? Thanks.

setup for localhost web (PHP) development
by Gour 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Hello, I'm interested what would be recommended way to configure my desktop machine as localhost for web (PHP) development? I've few entries like: 127.0.0.1 foo.local bar.local in my /etc/hosts in order to be able to access development sites via aliases, e.g. http://foo.local/ Moreover, I'd like to work on the sites under my regular user account using my uid/gid and keep the development under VCS. I admit I'm not overly familiar with Apache2 setup and certainly not on Fedora (on Debian it is configured a bit different) to which I recently migrated. As a temporary workaround to make it somehow work I configured Apache to run under my uid/gid, put my foo/bar sites under /var/www/html as VirtualHosts, chown-ed them as uid/gid and chmod-ed to 775. Finally, I symlinked them to ~/prj/www/{foo,bar}... I have feeling it's pretty ugly setup, so I'm humbly looking for some improvement tips how to configure Apache+PHP for working on several web sites on localhost machine? Sincerely, Gour -- Thus the wise living entity's pure consciousness becomes covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire.

Re: setting up dictd-server on local machine
by Steve Foley 09 Dec '16

UPDATE: running: [root@localhost ~]# dictd works great and I can access the wordnet dictionary through xfce's dictionary reader, so there's a problem with starting it with systemctl. Anyway, I don't want to take up more of the groups time. Thanks everyone and I'll figure it out one way or another :-) Steve

Go language
by Howard Howell 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Hi, everyone, I loaded go using dnf... sudo dnf install go I am on an AMD64 system with F24 installed. The issue is that the /usr/share/gocode/src/code.google.com/p was empty. I installed the golang...devel package and it added the go.tools directory with several subdirectories and other things. The issue is that the various libraries needed by the code I am working on are not loaded. I downloaded the latest archive from golang.org and it appears the various things that I need, or at least most of them are in the archive. The problem is that removing the go packages via DNF will probably decimate the system. So how do I remove the current package or update it with the required libraries? I have not been successful in searching for the required packages or libraries using dnf. Regards, Les H

I had to change dll.conf, commenting out all the printer filenames except epson2, and in epson2.conf I added the usb 0x04b8 0x110b & left the net autodiscovery as it was. All now seems to work as I expect! Xsane now shows 2 posssible scanners. Again many thanks to you & to Greg for getting me out of the dark brown stuff!! Dave

I'm using a driver I downloaded from Epson's own site. The driver part seems to work ok. I noticed that I hadn't unpacked & installed the scanner "bundle" - one would assume that a package for an all-in-one would install all parts...... However, following Epson's instructions doesn't seem to do anything..... Wouldn't it be nice if there was a button on a printer which sends a "here I am" message to all stations on the LAN?????f Thanks again for your help Dave
