Sleeping mouse
by Patrick O'Callaghan 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

I have a Bluetooth mouse (Sondstrom) which after a fairly short period of inactivity - a minute or two - becomes unresponsive, i.e. it takes a few seconds of jiggling for the cursor to move, whereupon it's fine until it goes to sleep again. As far as I can tell, the mouse itself isn't asleep (the sensor LED is still on) so I assume this is caused by some system setting, but which? I could see the sense if I was on a laptop, but this is a desktop machine and the power management is set to turn off the monitor only after 30 minutes or so. This is F21 under KDE (Plasma-5). The mouse connects via a Broadcom Bluetooth dongle. poc

helved packard pavilion 500
by Angelo Moreschini 13 Mar '15

Hi I bout a new computer (Hewett Packard pavilion 500), but I have problems with this computer when I try to install Fedora. The first problem come with the HD: in this computer is mounted only one HD with1TB of capacity, and it is not possible to mount another HD (there is not the physical space to put another HD inside). I asked at HP support, and I got the answer that it is not possible to add other hard driver in this computer (???). I am not sure if 1 TB is enough for use Windows and Fedora. I encountered a problem also trying to run on this computer the SystemRescueCd .... I chose the graphical environment in the menu of this program, but, after the program started, it didn't run correctly- it stopped before showing the graphical interface... I don't know what it can be, that a good computer (HP) doesn't allow to run open source programs ???? Some one have the same experience as me ??? Thank you Regards Angelo

Evolution Filtering
by Mike Chambers 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Ever since a couple of updates ago, evolution will be stucking in "filtering mode", as in waiting for all the emails to be filtered and sent to their respective folders. I have to close, then kill the pid. Then I can reopen it and it will start filtering with no problems. But once you leave it open for awhile, it is stuck again trying to filter. Be advised, this worked when F21 first came out and however many updates after that until recently. Nothing on the settings end nor anything was changed. And this system is setup as imap to a local network mail server. evolution-data-server-3.12.11-1.fc21.x86_64 evolution-3.12.11-1.fc21.x86_64 evolution-bogofilter-3.12.11-1.fc21.x86_64 -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!"

F21 - perl broken? 5.16 vs. 5.18 API problem.

It greatly speeds compilation to not do all those drivers that I don't need. Sound cards I don't have Latest that created packages without errors.

All the answers to them would do is be noise or distraction. This is at a meta level above that, about the design and control level, rather than the implementation details. I guess I am assuming that the kernel programmers have done their job, and the kernel functionality is abstracted from the underlying hardware. Especially for x86 architectures. I think Heinz has put his finger on the issue in his response: a single process is limited to a single core. But, if that single process can spawn other processes, which is what 'make -j6' should be doing, why would that be true? I'll be following up in my response to him. Thanks for taking an interest, and I'm not trying to be hostile, but I honestly don't see how answering your questions helps.

Testing F21 kernel update kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21
by Meikel 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi folks, in bugzilla I found a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197842) that adresses an issue I have. In a comment from Fedora Update System I can see that "kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21.". I would like to verify if that kernel fixes my issue. I did read the "How to test updates" (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_test_updates) but it's still not clear to me what steps are necessary to test the update. I do not see the kernel update with yum check-update command: LANG="" su -c 'yum check-update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel' # Loaded plugins: langpacks No more output. I then tried LANG="" su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21' # Loaded plugins: langpacks # No Match for argument: kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 # No package kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 available. # No packages marked for update Currently I'm running kernel 3.18.8-201.fc21.i686: uname -r # 3.18.8-201.fc21.i686 Can somebody give me advice on how I can test the kernel update mentioned above? Thanks, Meikel

Fedora 21 server gnome install not starting

Hello Folks I know there's many questions about 'no graphical environment on server', but I've install gnome and enabled it. After booting the display hangs following: [ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager And, perhaps a few following such as starting virtualisation demon, waiting for plymouth to quit Following a server install I ran the following successfully: # yum groupinstall gnome --skip-broken # systemctl set-default graphical.target This this is what systemctl says: ]# systemctl status -l gdm.service ● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Sun 2015-03-08 17:51:35 GMT; 1min 29s ago Process: 1613 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gdm (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1613 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Mar 08 17:51:35 frontserver.lan systemd[1]: gdm.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Mar 08 17:51:35 frontserver.lan systemd[1]: Unit gdm.service entered failed state.

gnome-shell: slow logins?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

I have a variety of F21 users, some with remote home folders (on gluster) and some with local home folders (on desktop SSDs). Some users experience login delays on 30-60 seconds after entering their username/passwd in gdm (the "last login" time is shown, so it is not an authentication delay). The gnome-shell background does not appear during that delay. What causes these delays? How can I debug it? I tried masking the colord daemon, and moving the tracker files out of /etc/xdg/autostart/, but it didn't help. Logouts can be painfully slow too. Some systems are super-quick to load, so it's baffling... Any ideas? - Mike

For F20, during shutdown is the hwclock updated...
by dcw 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

I have done several searches to find this info. I have searched for systemd, shutdown, rtc, hwclock and combinations of those key words and not found what I was looking for. For F20, during shutdown is the hwclock updated? How can I enable/disable that behaviour during shutdown. Thanks all, David
