problems with kde
by Walter Cazzola 20 Dec '15

20 Dec '15

Dear Fedora Experts, I'm a proud user of Fedora (currently 20) Linux on a Dell Laptop since 6 years. A couple of days ago without any real reason something broke up (the only thing happened is a write error but after that it worked fine) and I get serious problems in login into my KDE account. It takes half an hour and after that I'm in a crippled system. Each command I type gives as a reply "no more processes." Also menus and windows are quite unresponsive. Today after many desperate attempts I logged as root on KDE (I know this is something to avoid) but with the root account everything is working fine. I got into in few seconds and any command works as expected. So I suspect that something happened to my user, so I removed the .local configuration without any luck. I would also send you some logs but I can't imagine what could be useful. Anyone can help me to solve this issue? Thank you in advance Walter --

The 8600 series cards are classified like the 9600 series and 9300 series cards , as "Legacy" and *require* the 340-xxx series drivers. I am using the 340.96 with a 9300 chipset on my main box, and with a 9600 chipset on the mythbox. Both running well on F22. Using the wrong driver might the problem, not F23. Geoff

See > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix A faster and much more useful route is to install isomaster on your main computer and use it to edit the iso image. I have used to to remove unused packages and to add packages. It is extremely easy to use. It's been around since 2007 or Fedora 7 so I would suspect that it's stable and it works! R.

X server dies on startup with kernel-4.2.7-300.fc23.x86_64
by Patrick O'Callaghan 19 Dec '15

19 Dec '15

I have an Nvidia card and use the proprietary driver, so I've blocked updates to X for the time being until RPMfusion gets the new kmod module for Nvidia version 352.63. In any case, my current X server is xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.4-1.fc22.x86_64. Rebooting with kernel-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64 works. poc

dnf system-upgrade fails with key verification
by Sam Varshavchik 19 Dec '15

One upgrade to F23 succeeded. The second server fails, repeatedly with "dnf system-upgrade --releasever 23 download" resulting in: … [SKIPPED] zukitwo-gtk3-theme-0.0.2-1.fc23.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded [SKIPPED] zukitwo-gtk2-theme-0.0.2-1.fc23.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded warning: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/kernel-core-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 34ec9cba: NOKEY Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm- gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64 [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG- KEY-fedora-x86_64] The downloaded packages were saved in cache till the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Googling around doesn't find anything useful.

yum configure to only download one package at a time
by Robin Laing 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my system and through our corporate firewall/network filters/etc, the bandwidth is limited. Today while doing an upgrade, yum was downloading five packages at a time. Due to the limits, I was running into a under X bytes for 60 seconds restart. The limit is such that when there are large packages (eclipse) it gets stuck restarting each package over and over until it has run out of mirrors. I read through the yum.conf man and I cannot find a way to tell yum to only download a single package. This is on a f20 system and I am trying to get to F23 but I cannot get fedup on f20 to work through our corporate firewall and dnf won't play. I am working on the problem I asked about earlier as this is the first time I had a few days to work on this. fedora-upgrade is the command that I am using. Robin

A reliable ocr program for Fedora
by JD 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Downloaded and tried tesseract and cuneiform, and both fail to work on any of the pdf images I have. These images are NOT encrypted as they are public documents like from the DMV, ... etc. Does anyone know of a free OCR program for linux, that WORX :) ?

rpmfusion updates-testing repos enabled in Fedora23
by CS DBA 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hi All I recently did a fresh install on Fedora 23 on a laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 3rd edition) I followed up the install by installing the rpmfusion repos. I simply ran the command from the rpmfusion site to enable rpmfusion-free-updates and rpmfusion-nonfree-updates However today I noticed that the rpmfusion-free-updates-testing and rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repos are also enabled. I thought the testing repos were for packages still in testing mode, thus if I want a more stable system they should be disabled. Should I leave the testing repos enabled? Has the rpmfusion repos changed such that I should want this? Thanks in advance

rc-local - How to enable ???
by JD 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

# systemctl enable rc-local The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). So, what does a user do in order to make the system start (execute) /etc/rc.d/rc.local at (or shortly thereafter) boot up??
