dnf headaches.
by Derrik Walker v2.0
I seem to have some issues with dnf, and Dr Google isn't helping ...
So I installed the "Games and Entertainment," which did exactly nothing,
except mark it installed.
So, I figured out, that if I really want the games installed, I probably
should have:
# dnf group install with-optional "Games and Entertainment"
Cool except it tells me that "Games and Entertainment" is already
installed.
OK, so I'll just remove it and re-install it ... but is says NOPE!!!
# dnf group remove "Games and Entertainment"
Warning: Group 'Games and Entertainment' does not exist.
...
So, now I can't install it properly, or uninstall it.
And the versions I have installed:
# rpm -qa | grep ^dnf
dnf-1.0.0-1.fc22.noarch
dnf-plugins-core-0.1.8-1.fc22.noarch
dnf-langpacks-0.10.0-1.fc22.noarch
dnf-yum-1.0.0-1.fc22.noarch
dnf-conf-1.0.0-1.fc22.noarch
Not sure if It's a bug, or if I overlooked something in the
documentation. But my kid want's his games!
Thanks.

dnf nonlocal update
by Robert Dady
Hi,
I have 2 computers: "A" has F22 and 3G cell phone Internet connection with
a limited data plan, "B" has Windows7 / Ubuntu 15.04 / F22 Live and
broadband Internet connection.
I want "A" make a (dnf) list of packages of available updates, which I
could download on "B" and install them offline on "A" from a USB stick.
Is it feasible?
Best regards,
Robert

For what it's worth, you're trying two mutually exclusive commands, as far as I can see.
NetworkManager automatically configures things as instructed by a DHCP server, or self-configures a link-local address, or activates a chosen user-configured network setting (the later may be an option for you, but you wanted to do stuff by the command line interface, and I'm unfamiliar with controlling NetworkManager that way). I've certainly made new custom settings in the NetworkManager GUI, and chosen them to force manual changes to my network.
Using an IP command temporarily changes the current operating parameters, but doesn't change any stored configuration.
NetworkManager's next operation will do what it wants to do, again.
Overriding what you may have temporarily changed.
I would have thought that if you were making temporary changes, this wouldn't have mattered. But it sounds like you want to make permanent changes, despite initially talking about making temporary ones, and going about it the wrong way.

Some additional thoughts.
Anything you do on the command line, is volatile thus won't survive a reboot.
It is tempting to catch any manually settings in a script, running after startup has completed.
Often this works, though with network-settings there is a catch22...
If you use dhcp, and the lease-renewal comes around, your manual (or scripted) settings, like v4/v6 addresses, (default-)routing, dns/ntp-settings are gone.
Mostly dhcp-settings are set to one or several days, so it seems static,
But when you set on the dhcp-server the lease-time to 5 minutes, you see the effects.
It can cause some very hard to detect unwanted behavior.

Fedora 22 on Surface Pro 3
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I am planning on getting a MS Surface Pro 3 and promptly stripping it of its current software. Does anyone have any information on Fedora 22 can this tablet? (From what I understand, it is actually a full-fledged machine and does not have the ARM processors.)
I DDG'ed on this and came up with the following:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/53414/fedora-20-installation-on...
But this information is from the days of F20. I wonder if the kernel patches that are talked about there and necessary have been sorted and included by default in the current 4.0 series kernels?
Any experience would be very helpful.
Btw, how does one get the on-screen keyboard in such a tablet using linux?
Many thanks again for any pointers, and best wishes,
Ranjan

dnf whatprovides and library files
by Ed Greshko
I can't seem to get dnf to tell me what package supplies a library.
For example, on an F22 system....
[root@f22k ~]# ll /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 19664 Aug 17 2014 /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
[root@f22k ~]# dnf whatprovides /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:26:25 ago on Wed Jun 10 07:23:47 2015.
Error: No Matches found
On an F21 system
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ll /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 19664 Aug 17 2014 /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ yum -whatprovides /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
Loaded plugins: langpacks
libXv-1.0.10-2.fc21.x86_64 : X.Org X11 libXv runtime library
Repo : installed
Matched from:
Filename : /lib64/libXv.so.1.0.0
(dnf fails to find on F21 in the same manner)
Yet on F22 a whatprovides for an uninstalled binary works...
[root@f22k ~]# dnf whatprovides /usr/bin/remmina
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:28:57 ago on Wed Jun 10 07:23:47 2015.
remmina-1.2.0-0.5.git.b3237e8.fc22.x86_64 : Remote Desktop Client

What can I do to get "whatprovides" to work consistently?

F22 rsyslog and logrotate: looks like a bug to me
by Mark C. Allman
I see this line in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog:
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null||true
The PID file for rsyslog is actually /var/run/rsyslogd.pid, therefore
once logrotate runs the new log files, e.g., messages, maillog, etc.,
are empty. Sound like a bug to you all?
I'm running F22 kernel 4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 and I just upgraded via
dnf.
Thanks,

Hotkeys?
by David Cary Hart
KDE's hotkeys package is broken in F22*. I am tired of typing ldquo,
rdquo, mdash, etc. Autokey (via Google) no longer works. Any other
suggestions? And, yes, I filed a bug report.
Thanks
*It doesn't work in a clean install of the KDE spin. I got it to work on
a workstation spin but the virtual machine crashed for other reasons. I
have been unable to replicate it.

F22 KDE How To Remove "Software Updates" Widget?

In the Fedora 22 / KDE 5 task bar there is a "Software Updates" widget.
Where is the setting to remove that? It's inappropriate for arbitrary
