Yum Update Cache out of Space Error
by Stephen Morris 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the following errors are and why they are being shown when /var is in my root partition which has 695GB free space? There is insufficient space on the device. Free some space on the system disk to perform this operation. Disk error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/yum/x86_64/20/updates/c82039c0491e88e0504754ac963910eae06d6f6e1cb47250f897e174a272e32b-updateinfo.xml.gz' regards, Steve

Wireless connect fails on laptop wake
by Bill Murray 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Dear Fedorians, I am using F20 gnome on my laptop, and have great suspend/resume as I wander from meeting to meeting in different rooms. Except for the wireless. Maybe 1 time in 3 or 50-50 the wireless fails to connect on resume - it just loops. It is easily fixed: I disable the wireless either in software or hardware and re-enable and it works 100%. So it seems something is not optimal in the wireless recovery. I compare /var/log/mesages from good and bad sessions, and I find for a resume session: NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> inactive NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: inactive -> scanning wlp2s0: authenticate with XXX.YY.... wlp2s0: direct probe to XXX.YY.. (try 1/3) This then goes into an authenticate -> disconnect loop while for a good session where I switch off wireless in NM and on again: NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: inactive -> scanning wlp2s0: authenticate with XXX.YY.... wlp2s0: send auth to to XXX.YY.. (try 1/3) this goes on to connect just fine. Any ideas what is wrong with my suspended session? It would be nice to be able to open my laptop and have it just work.... Thanks for your ideas!

f18 keyboard and panel volume controls
by Mike Wright 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi all, I put f18 onto a system three days ago and am having a lot of trouble making some basic things work. The old way of setting up keyboard shortcuts is gone and the mapping between the keyboard and XF86, such as Volume Mute <=> XF86Mute are gone. They now map to Pragha. We'll have to chalk that one up to sheer brilliance on somebody's part. The standard Volume Control on the top panel is also gone and I haven't been able to find a replacement for it either. Having to open Audio Mixer and/or Pulseaudio Volume Control (whose title bar makes no mention of Pulseaudio) is absurd to the extreme. Side note: there is now so much bloat that the only way to get VLC to play video and audio in sync is to run it --high-priority. That's a first for me. If anybody knows how to bring back keyboard control of volume and muting, and how to put a volume control back on the top panel I'd be most appreciative. Thanks a million for any help, Mike Wright ps. If someone finds a bunch of marbles please be so kind as to return them to me.

Save everybody some surprises in Fedora 22!

We've put together a > very short and simple survey. Let your opinion be heard! > http://dnf.baseurl.org/2014/06/06/vote-for-yum-features-that-you-miss-in-dn… The list of missing yum options is both outdated and incomplete. For example, it's missing "includepkgs" (a repository option), for people who need to access specific packages from non-Fedora compatible repos. On the other hand, it includes "deltarpm", although dnf has supported this for a while now. Sorry for replying out of thread, but I normally use Gmane to reply, and for some reason this thread never showed up there. (Normally there's just a delay, but it's past that point now.)

Trying do get F20 up
by don fisher 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

All of the configuration files have changed from my previous version (I think it is F17). Is there documentation on how to set up acpi? Is there documentation of all of these other changes? I am command line orientated and have trouble finding where things are. Pleases help a non-windows orientated person. Thanks

losing WiFi Access - prompted for password
by SternData 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

F18... Over the last few days, I'm getting prompted to re-enter my password for my WiFi network. It's not the router because no other device on the network seems to be having problems. Potential changes on my system include May 07 21:39:32 Updated: 1:wpa_supplicant-1.1-1.fc18.x86_64 May 25 15:33:44 Installed: kernel-3.9.3-201.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:42 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:47 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:53 Updated: network-manager-applet-0.9.8.1-4.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 Given that this has really started the day before yesterday, I suspect it has something to do with the NetworkManager update. Is anyone else having this problem? (Please -- do not tell me to "dump the evil NetworkManager". I'm trying to solve a problem here, not make some stand against the tide. Thanks.) -- -- Steve

Install problem (Fedora 20-32bit
by Doug 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Trying to install Fedora 20 32-bit version on a multiboot system (Windows 8.1 + PCLOS 32 + PCLOS 64) into a standard partition. Got up past setting passwords for root and user. Then it crashed with the following message: *********************************** The following error occurred whil installing. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. error population transaction: failure: Packages/s/systemd-python-208-9.fe20.:686.rpm from anaconda: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. ************************************* Machine is desktop 64-bit Intel processor with 8GB ram, connected to Internet, Nvidia graphics. Uses BIOS, not UEFI. I want to install Fedora in order to run Linux version of DraftSight cad program, which has a Fedora rpm available and which does not run on PCLOS, for unknown reasons. Suggestions, please. Thanx--doug

REALLY quiting skype
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

So I have Skype on a f20 i686 system and actually USED it for a business call. I then quited Skype. But later I was looking into some things on the system and found that Skype still had a process running. I could not find it on the Gnome desktop anywhere, so I just killed the process. But I should be able to do this 'more normally'? thanks
