sendmail bombarding logs
by Sudhir Khanger 02 Jan '16

02 Jan '16

Hi, I ran journalctl -b to see what is causing bumblebee to fail. I see the log is huge. There are thousands of line and the file is as big as 5.1 mb. I see a sendmail line over and over. I don't think I use sendmail or what installed it. Dec 31 15:16:06 fedora crond[1188]: /usr/sbin/sendmail: line 64: /home/sudhir/.esmtp_queue/DPfrmBuQ/mail: No such file or directory Here is the full log https://cloud.wyffy.com/index.php/s/wTEhYPA6lS4WfD3 -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com.

F23 on Raspberry Pi 2
by Suvayu Ali 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

Hi, I was looking at how to get Fedora on an Rpi 2, but then I realised the latest Pidora version is an F20 based RC from 2014. Is this all we have? Maybe someone knows a way to install from the latest ARM images. The official ARM installer does not seem to support Rpi. This is the list: - A10-OLinuXino-Lime - A20-OLinuXino-Lime - A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 - A20-OLinuXino_MICRO - am335x_boneblack - Bananapi - Bananapro - cm_fx6 - Cubieboard - Cubieboard2 - Cubietruck - jetson-tk1 - Linksprite_pcDuino - Linksprite_pcDuino3 - Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano - Mele_A1000 - Mini-X - mx6cuboxi - none - novena - omap4_panda - omap5_uevm - riotboard - trimslice - wandboard I tried none, it doesn't install U-boot and then the Pi doesn't boot. Thanks for any other ideas. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

gnome won't start
by Jon LaBadie 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

On my F22 system I typically use mate as my desktop environment. Occasionally I log out and try to login using gnome. It quickly comes up with a screen saying "Opps, something has gone wrong". If I try "gnome classic" instead, it takes a little longer and I get a flash of an new desktop before the "Opps" screen. After the failed login, I went debugging by logging into a tty terminal. Looking at ~/.xsessionerrors there are 4 lines of "stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device" and nothing else. I don't notice any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log*. If I try it logging in as a new user with gnome it starts up fine. If I remove ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* the problem still occurs. Any hints where to look? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

Fedora 23 KDE spin -- no desktop cube?
by William Oliver 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

I just bought me a new laptop (HP envy) and installed Fedora 23 dual boot with Win 8.1. Everything works great, but there are a couple of things about the KDE installation that cause me a bit of a disappointment. 1) There's no desktop cube animation option. Is that a design/deployment decision, or is it an installation problem? Obviously, losing a bit of eye-candy is not the end of the world, but I'm a bit dissapointed. The other is an Activity thing that I'll ask about in a second post, so as not to mix topics. Thanks for any information -- a Google search didn't supply anything. billo

Firefox and gmail troubles
by Chris Murphy 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Fedora 23, Firefox 43.0, and 43.0.3. In the last couple of weeks I started to get this message often while in Gmail: Oops… the system encountered a problem (#007) - Retrying in 1s… Often this takes a lot more than 1s to recover. It always happens when sending emails, and the first attempt for an email always fails, clicking send again always succeeds. This happens in safe mode, and with a new test user login account (a whole new login environment), and it happens with multiple gmail accounts. If I reboot to OS X, and use Firefox 43, it never happens. So the network and hardware are identical, the only factor seems to be something unique to Fedora. There are no messages logged in the journal at this time. I've tried disabling firewalld, connecting to another network via openvpn+private tunnel, and disabling ipv6. No change. Any suggestions? In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can reproduce in vmm/kvm booting Fedora 23 live. This is really super annoying. -- Chris Murphy

Running a private mirror with Fedora's mirrormanager
by spike 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a private mirror with Fedora's mirrormanager. It seem I could successfully check in with the report_mirror script as mirromanager's web interface says Last Checked In: 2015-12-31 03:42:47.866562 for the site I'm interested in. I've got 87.159.31.184/32 and FedoraMirror.mooo.com (which resolves to that exact address) listed in site-local netblocks and the categories carried show a bunch of Fedora 23 stuff (complete list here: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/306101/ if anyone is interested). What I'd expect is https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f23&arch=x… to list my mirror somewhere but unfortunately I only get the unsual public suspects. What am I missing? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Regars, Chris

Fedora 23 KDE spin -- Widgets falling through to wrong Activity?
by William Oliver 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

I just installed the Fedora23 KDE spin in a new laptop (HP envy). It has gone great except for a couple of small glitches. This glitch has to do with Activies. When I create a Widget in an activity, it sometimes disappears when I move it, and ends up in a different Activity. I looked in my .xsession-error file and see the following, that looks a bit suspicious: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 55266, resource id: 27262984, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0 list is empty file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling.

boot problem
by Jeffrey Ross 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

I'm trying to get Fedora 23 to boot on a a system which will eventually have no monitor attached (will use a serial console). The system does have a graphics card in it (and was used for the initial install) the system now starts booting properly but fails almost immediately after re-sizing the screen from 80x24 to ??? to make matters even more complicated I am building the system on one machine and then plan on moving the disks to another system which will have a different video card (built in but not connected to a monitor) See below for the serial console output.

I disabled the 'nomodeset' from the kernel command line and just before the GDM loads the OS and it will lock up and you can hear the fan blowing as if all the resources are being consumed. The only way around this is to power down the box, if I don't touch the kernel command line and let it boot, it will get to the GDM; however, each time I try to login it will come right back to the login screen, but I can go to another virtual console. It is fair to say that I can close this thread and open a new one for Bumblebee because I am able to boot Fedora 23 on the ASUS ROG laptop. -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez
