dnf group install with-optional but only some options?
by Ted Roche 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Putting together a development workstation for PHP and Ruby work, and was hoping the group install option would speed the time picking and choosing the many packages. Is it possible to install only one or two of the "Optional groups" or is it an all-or-nothing choice? Had a question on the dnf command: The "Group info" command lists mandatory and optional groups. # dnf group info "Web Server" Last metadata expiration check performed 3:19:40 ago on Tue Nov 17 06:30:49 2015. Environment Group: Web Server Description: Server for serving static and dynamic internet content. Mandatory Groups: Basic Web Server Core Hardware Support Standard Optional Groups: Guest Agents HAProxy Java Application Server MariaDB (MySQL) Database MongoDB PHP Perl for Web PostgreSQL Database Python Ruby on Rails Tomcat The help for group install in the man pages and http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html shows the 'with-optional' phrase: dnf [options] group install [with-optional] <group-spec>... So, the optional groups pretty much include everything except the kitchen sink, and I wonder if I can avoid installing a couple of languages and two databases I don't need, or if I should just skip the group install as an installation technique> -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

extcalc: which repository? [CLOSED]

Good morning, Doug replied: > Go to Google and input extcalc.rpm and you'll find several entries that are specific > to Fedora, and some that do not seem to be specific.

I looked for other graphics calculators for Linux and found "GMT" (Genius Mathematics Tool) and "Qalculate!". "Apper" does find them, so I installed them (as "Genius Math Tool", "Qalculate!, and "Qalculate! (GTK)"). I gave them quick, preliminary tries, and they seem to work. Plots of sines and cosines do look nice and wavy. If those are not adequate, I could wrestle with "GDL", or perhaps C++ writing files and "gnuplot" reading them. I'm closing this. Bill.

Audacious is another good one, with a more lightweight philosophy and in the winamp lineage of players (design-wise, not code-wise). -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

F23 GNOME "Terminal I new notification" on login screen
by Ted Roche 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Machine lost power and upon restoration and restart, the login screen shows "Terminal 1 new notification" though, of course, terminal did not survive the interuption. How can I reset that notice? It continues to appear each time I'm back at the login screen. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

Fails installing fedora 23 with KDE
by Frédéric Bron 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi, I brurnt a DVD of the Live KDE fedora 23. But when the system is loaded, I get only a nice background (blue with some 45° features). In the top left corner, there is like a small white icon with 3 gray horizontal lines. However, nothing else, no menu, no right click menu. How can I install F23 with KDE? Thanks, Frédéric

Cassify that urban myth, if you make your system vulberable, then you have much more "issues" than just this. Furthermore, I wouldn't give that particular list much credit as a reliable source when it deals with linux. They do more unfounded linux -bashing than the people from Microsoft. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org [mailto:users-bounces@lists.fedoraproject.org] On Behalf Of jd1008 Sent: vrijdag 20 november 2015 3:25 To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Re: FYI: ransomware virus on Linux (From FreeBSD Users mailing list) On 11/19/2015 06:48 PM, Juan R. de Silva wrote: > On Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:27:06 -0700, jd1008 wrote: > >> You might wish to read this thread online.

You might wish to read this thread online. Does not look terribly scary, but it is good to be aware of the piece of SW causing it.

In fact, I do already have "galculator", and 2 other calculators. But none of them are graphics calculators - calculators that can plot functions. That is (part of) why I would like "extcalc". Bill.

Installing i686 on x86_64 with DNF
by Richard Shaw 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Am I'm missing something obvious? I need to install nosync 32bit for mock but I had to remove it before dnf system-upgrade would stop complaining. Now that I'm upgraded I tried "dnf install nosync.i686" does not find the package. What magic incantation is required to install i686 packages on x86_64 wit dnf? Thanks, Richard
