BT mouse sleeps too often
by Patrick O'Callaghan
My Bluetooth mouse goes to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity. The
light doesn't go off so I assume it's not the mouse itself. It takes
about 5 seconds or so of jiggling to get the screen cursor to reappear.
The kernel modules are:
bluetooth 486193 37 bnep,hidp,btusb,rfcomm
and they don't change during this whole process.
Where can I look for something to tweak to change this? I'm using KDE
Plasma5 on F21, if it's relevant (but I suspect it's not).

Crashes of tainted kernels
by JD
Many of us need akmods for our hardware.
But when the kernel crashes or ooops'es,
we are unable to send the crash report.
Since none of the crashes occur in the modules
inserted via akmods, why is the fedora abrt not
allowing thes ending of such reports?
At least provide a way for us to send them to
the place we got them from, namely rpmfusion
in this case, or other repos in other cases.
All abrt has to do is ask for the user's login
id and password and have it submit the report there.

Permanent NIC Setup from command line???
by Peter Ulrich Kruppa
Hi,
this is the background to question:
Last week I set up my first Fedora (21) server - everything went well
until ... now, of course "I didn't do anything" (TM) ... all my network
configuration was gone.
First Aid was to set my NIC with the ip command - but this won't
survive a reboot.
Reading the fine manuals led me to NetworkManager and nmcli but
# systemctl status Networkmanager
● Networkmanager.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
doesn't look good.
So now my question: What would be "the" Fedora 21 way to set up a NIC
permanently from command line?
Thanks and regards

why is connecting with my android phone so hit and miss?
by Robert P. J. Day
currently running fedora rawhide but i suspect this is a more
general fedora issue -- i could be wrong. whenever i plug in my HTC
android phone to my laptop (via USB), it's totally hit and miss
whether i get the phone's content mounted under /run/user/1000/gvfs,
which allows me to copy pics out of the gallery and so on.
sometimes it works fine, sometimes not. when i plug it in, the phone
typically displays "USB tethering [connected]" and "Media device [MTP]
connected", which is what i expect to see, but whether the mount
actually succeeds is unpredictable.
what driver/kernel feature is responsible for this? it would be
easier to debug if it wasn't so arbitrary about whether it worked or
not.

Missing feature
by Damjan Činkole
Hello,
In Fedora SOAS there is no install link like in most other LInux
distributions.
Could you make it in some of the future versions?
Does any other Fedora distro have an install link?
Regards,
Damjan

Noticed another problem on Firefox 37.0.1
by Jim Lewis
When I was running FF 37.0.1 (between crashes) I noticed it would not
let me create any new Bookmark folders. The Add button would stay grayed
out. This is not the case on 36.0.4, adding a new folder works just
fine.

/tmp vs /var/tmp
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Is there a setting that controls where temporary files are stored (/tmp vs
/var/tmp)?
When I did a fresh install of F21 temporary files such as the pdf ones
opened by Firefox are now stored in /tmp; before they were stored in
/var/tmp.
Much thanks,
Max Pyziur

Thank you. Pretty much done. It all came back to life with a jiggle
and a poke. I've lost the weather icons on the top bar and the system
monitor displays, but I think I can live without those.
