Fedora 20 with AMD catalyst video driver
by Bruno Jean
Hi,
I am planning to build a Fedora 20 machine to host a couple of VMs and a NAS server concurrently. I already browse internet to get some advice on the hardware. As I want to keep the cost low, I plan to use quad core AMD processors with built-in GPU. I would like to have feedback from the fedora guys about the AMD catalyst video driver on Fedora 20. According to various internet blog, it does not work out of the box on Fedora 20, and even the workaround posted here (http://bluehatrecord.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/installing-the-proprietary-...) does not seems to work for everyone.
So my question is the following: Is the default video driver in the fedora 20 allows for a 2560×1440 external monitor resolution with AMD GPU, or I should go with another GPU (Nvidia?) or a motherboard GPU.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Bruno

Issue with kde startup?
by Michael D. Setzer II
KDE login selection was failing during a demonstration to my class on
Saturday. Was finally able to figure the issue was errors involving libproj.so.0
not being found? I had even tried reinstalling the kde, but still it failed.
Did a search, and the libproj.so.0 was on the system, but it was in a google
earth library, and not in the regular library. Then did a whatprovides, and
found that libproj.so.0 is provided by proj as well as google earth, but it puts it
in the lib64 directory. Installed the proj and now the kde works when select as
the session. Before the Gnome and XFCE where working. Not sure why the
reinstallation of kde didn't fix this issue?

F20: mouse cursor has 1" x 1/4" rectangle attached
by sean darcy
On an acer latop with XFCE, the mouse cursor is trailed by a rectangle
about 1/2" below and offset to the right.
In Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad -> Themes I can change the size of
cursor, which doesn't affect the size of the rectangle.
How do I get rid of this rectangle?

DropboxServiceMenu Install ?
by Mickey
Fedora 20/KDE
I Downloaded and installed DropboxServiceMenu, Where do you execute it
from ?
The DropBox Icon is in the system Tray.
$
.kde/share/apps/servicemenu-download/DropboxServiceMenu-0.16.1/dropbox-scripts/dropbox_menu.sh
which: no dropbox_menu.sh in
(/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/mickey/.local/bin:/home/mickey/bin)
sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression
get_dropbox_folder.sh: Dropbox database not found, is dropbox installed?
Klipper is already running! Check it in the system tray in the panel.

As I wrote to the maillist I did it. I reconfigured the journald.conf
and deleted the journal logs then restarted the
systemd-journald.service. Moreover I rebooted but the logs were
preserved.
So, I get what you write and the man page says but the actual daemon
doesn't do it. It is a bug or just by design. Thank you systemd
community, we really needed to replace the existed log system and really
wanted to use it by force (Fedora mail list - Re: case study -
journalctl - where is logger output).
