F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Good afternoon, Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" = "users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely messages from this list are not junk! thanks, Bill.

how to set 24-hour clock (military time) on Fedora 20 in KDE?
by Kenneth Wolcott 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi; I can't seem to find any way to change the Fedora 20 KDE time and date settings so that the time is displayed in the 24-hour format like military time. Is this not possible? Thanks, Ken Wolcott

installing via VNC over ipv6
by Chris Murphy 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

This suggests installation using vnc over ipv6 is supported: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Ipv6OnlyInstallation But when I use inst.vnc boot option, I get an text screen that says to connect to an ipv4 address, an ipv6 address isn't listed. When I go to a shell and use 'ip addr' there is a global ipv6 address, but no formatting for tigervnc I've come up with will connect, it won't connect: vncviewer.desktop[12590]: CConn: unable connect to socket: Invalid argument (22) If I boot Fedora 23 Server on this same hardware, the 'ip addr' address can be used successfully to ssh into the server, and also point a browser to https://[ipv6]:9090 to reach the Cockpit interface successfully. root 1744 0.0 0.9 251060 36468 pts/0 Sl+ 03:29 0:00 Xvnc :1 -depth 16 -br IdleTimeout=0 -auth /dev/null -once DisconnectClients=false desktop=Fedora rawhide installation on host 10.0.0.15 SecurityTypes=None rfbauth=0 I can't tell if -InTransports needs to explicitly specify ipv6 for it to work. But at this point I'm stumped and can't tell if it's user error or a bug. And netstat isn't on non-live media apparently so I don't have access to that while xvnc is running to see if it's listening over something other than just an ipv4 address. -- Chris Murphy

Fedora 23 Server: can't startx
by Braden McDaniel 16 Apr '16

16 Apr '16

I have a fresh, updated install of Fedora 23 Server. After installation, I installed the "Basic Desktop" group. Now, when I try to run startx, it fails with the error: xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) Where should I look to diagnose/resolve this? Could this be related to the fact that my home directories are NFS mounted? (I have set the use_nfs_home_dirs SELinux setting to "on".) -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com>

smplayer volume control
by Andre Robatino 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

For a long time now, the smplayer (from RPMFusion) volume control is vertical, instead of horizontal, with a negligible height, so it's essentially useless. This is still true with the latest version smplayer-16.1.0-1.fc23, and even after deleting ~/.config/smplayer. Do all Fedora users see this, and can it be fixed?

VDQ : Aaarrrghghghhh : Gnome 3
by Beartooth 05 Apr '16

Very Dumb Question : I've just installed F 23, and failed to tell it to use xfce; how do I fix that?? (I seem doomed never to find anything in Gnome 3.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Shutdown takes too long
by Konstantin Svist 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

After upgrading the kernel to 4.4.x series, it takes my laptop a long time to shut down without intervention. Sometimes I see a status saying something like "wait job is running for user ... (1m 30sec)" But a lot of the time I just see the bootup log with "Starting Switch Root..." being the last line I noticed one way to shut down is to use sysrq shortcuts (R,E,I from REISUB combo) -- obviously that's not a perfect solution.. Laptop has dual graphics, if that makes any difference.. Intel+Nvidia Not sure if filing a bug would even help, most of them just get ignored for years

Major owncloud updates incoming
by James Hogarth 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Hi all, We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a while. The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0 release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2. Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major releases. In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of weeks. We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please remember your backups prior to the upgrade! Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates. If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily accessible from pkgdb: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/owncloud/ Kind regards, James

export of programs via ssh
by Todor Petkov 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, I have the following situation: My workstation is Fedora 23, with the latest updates. I have also several virtual machines with Fedora23 and Centos 5/6/7. When I log in Fedora via ssh and try to run firefox from Fedora, there is no activity, it just stays and no export is coming on my screen. When I log in this machine via Windows (putty + xming), the export is fine. I have no problems with the export of lets say wireshark/xclock. The machine is with the latest firefox/kernel When I start firefox with strace, it says: --- SIGVTALRM {si_signo=SIGVTALRM, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=5575, si_uid=1003} --- rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) wait4(5592, 0x7ffeecd03cc4, 0, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) Similar problem is for Centos7 - firefox starts, but it's like hung - no url back, just gray window. Xclock export is fine. Windows putty session with firefox is fine Can someone give a hint what I am doing wrong? Regards,
