firewall-config has many broken dependencies.
by Sam Varshavchik 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

I upgraded a headless F20 box to F21's server product. xorg-x11-xauth is installed, in order to make X forwarding work over the ssh connection. After installing the firewall-config rpm manually, it's obvious that many of its dependencies are missing. I was able to figure out that some of the default font packages that must be installed. However, firewall-config still comes up with some of its display widgets obviously not getting rendered correctly, and they do not respond to mouse clicks or the keyboard. I posted a screenshot comparison between a working firewall-config, and broken one in bug 1176331. Anyone has any idea what dependency can result in such a broken display?

Gnome & Yumex : Is there a way ...
by Beartooth 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

I'm busily weighing Mate and xfce4 against my uses; with luck, I may eventually need only a rock-bottom few Gnome apps. Is there any way to eliminate the rest of Gnome by the shovelful instead of one app at a time with Yumex? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Getting onto HP2207
by Beartooth 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, which ceased to be a server or to have any form of RAID when I inherited it. Over the years, I've run many releases of Fedora on it, one or two of CentOS, and I disremember what all else on it. Some OSs figure out my HP w2207h monitor on contact, even from behind the KVM switch where I normally keep it; the last few Fedora releases have been good about that, iirc. Some OSs don't while behind the switch, but do if I shut everything down and connect the Dell directly and alone to the peripherals. Some OSs never get it; I have had to tinker endlessly with xorg.conf a/o grub.conf. But now F21 doesn't get it, and I can't seem to find a file that will let me tell it there is such a thing as a 27" 1680x1050 terminal. (The only plausible candidates so far open with DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, and a reference to the other files that set them; but I'm drawing a blank about any way to reset the setting files.) Clue, please? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

yum or dnf question
by Joachim Backes 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

Hi guys, is it possible to run "yum/dnf update [<some pkgs>]" (from the official repos) together with some rpm file residing on my box (for example downloaded from koji)? Example: I need such a mechanism if mutual dependencies exist between pkgs from the repo and the rpm on my box. KInd regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) Kernel-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

initial-setup
by JD 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

Has anyone used initial-setup command to return Fedora to a state without users (other than root), so that the user will have to set up things like clock, location, create new user, .... etc ? I do not want to run it because there is no man page for it and I do not know what it will do. Thanx.

fedup from f19 to f21 possible?
by Robert Arkiletian 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

I have used fedup in the past to hop one version. f17 -> f19. Wondering if it will work now from f19 -> f21? I know f21 is a little special so I'm wondering if anyone else has tried it?

RPMfusion non-free packages not ready?
by Temlakos 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

I have just upgraded two different machines to F21. I dutifully went through all the clean-up steps afterward. I also kept an Ethernet connection during the boot-to-system-upgrade step. The fedup program took a downgrade, and yes, I have to remove Google Chrome and then re-install it to get the F21 build. All as the fedup page told me to expect. (And, no, I did /not/ lose wireless connectivity. When I pulled the Ethernet plug on each system, its wireless adapter immediately found my router and re-established the connection I had set up earlier.) This no one told me to expect: it said the RPMfusion non-free packages for F21 were not ready. What do I wait for next? Will my systems, once RPMfusion "pushes" those packages, be able to see them and update the system? Thanks in advance. Temlakos

f21 still on mono 2?
by Tom Horsley 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

I thought fedora was cutting edge :-). Why is the mono on fedora 21 still at 2.10? There's a mono 3 out there these days which I need to run the latest RepetierHost.

Disabling a specific key
by Patrick O'Callaghan 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

I have a keyboard (Microsoft Wireless 800) which has an Insert key right beside the Backspace and I keep hitting it by accident and changing the insert mode of whatever I'm typing. I want to disable this key completely as I can think of no circumstance in which it would ever be useful. If it can't be disabled I would consider remapping it to a second Backspace. Any ideas? I'm using KDE under F21 but I would hope for a general solution to this. poc
