Booting into emergency mode - Help!
by Arthur Dent
Hello all,
For reasons I won't bore you with I am stuck on F17 for the moment (At
Easter I have some time off and intend to upgrade then).
I had left the kernel on 3.8.13-100FC17 which worked just fine, but had
to install some packages this weekend and allowed the kernel to update
too. Now when I first rebooted I got an error:
Cannot open font file True
Welcome to emergency mode. Use "systemctl default" or ^D to enter
default mode.
I followed some tutorials I found which indicated changing
"SYSFONT=True" to "SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16" and running
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
This I did, and now the "Cannot open font file True" message is gone,
but it still fails to boot, giving me:
Welcome to emergency mode. Use "systemctl default" or ^D to enter
default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue)
I tried to boot into my previous - working - kernel, but no joy - same
message.
This machine is my mail server so I would really appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance

fedup failure
by Greg Woods
I am trying to upgrade my Sony Vaio laptop from F19 to F20, using "fedup
--network 20". I get an error in the GPG key verification:
warning: /var/tmp/system-upgrade/updates/packages/NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-32.git20131003.fc20.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 246110c1: NOKEY
Downloading failed: GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] curl#37 -
"Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64"
...and, in fact, there is no such file. There is no such file on any of
my other F19 systems either, so I don't know how to fix this. Any ideas
from those more familiar with the inner workings of fedup?
Thanks,

Re: can't boot F19 system
by Paolo Galtieri
Well I tried to re-install grub per the link in a previous email. I booted
from DVD, went into rescue mode and did the chroot. I ran
/sbin/grub2-install /dev/sda
and on rebooting I get:
Secure Boot
Image failed to verify with <ACCESS DENIED>
Press any key to continue
So now what?
Anyway to recover from this?

Text selection and mouse button sensitivity
by Jerry Feldman
I am running F20 with the latest updates, and recently there is a
problem with text selection. While it is very prevalent in Thunderbird,
I also had the problem In Firefox and in gnome terminal. Since this
occurs across applications, I then installed KDE Plasma to eliminate
Gnome. The problems definitely occur in KDE as well as Gnome 3.10.3.
Additionally, I'm seeing some similar problems on Konsole.
The problem is that in some cases when I try to select text I either
cannot select an entire body of text. or sometimes a substitution is
done. I also noticed that in Thunderbird sometimes when I left click on
a button, it tends to double click.
I sometimes run Thunderbird at work via X over IP therough an SSH tunnel
to RHEL 5.10, and the problem does not occur so it seems that the issue
appears with the local X server. As an example, I clicked at the end of
the previous sentence and the background panel came up, so it seems that
it is not restricted to an application or rendering engine. At this
point I am wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.

Targus Bluetooth 4.0 Micro USB Adapter not working on Fedora 20
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
"Targus Bluetooth 4.0 Dual-Mode Micro USB Adapter" is not working on
Fedora 20. "lsusb | grep -i bluetooth" show the following:
[root@afolkey2 Downloads]# lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
I am attempting to pair a Phillips bluetooth headphone and the
headphones are never detected. But, as shown above, the Bluetooth
adapter is correctly detected.
The kernel I am running is "3.13.6-200.fc20.x86_64" and the version of
bluez is 5.16-1.fc20.x86_64
If you need any more information, feel free to let me know.

I understand that the number of users has nothing to do with the
authentication problem. Still I need root permission to poweroff when
using the GUI.
What can I do to get rid of this behaviour?
