After installing Fedora Workstation ...
by JD 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

During install, Anaconda let's you select one desktop from the left column, and then select the groups of packages from the right column. Fine. Now that fedora is up and running, how does one add a group of packages ala the groupings presented by anaconda? Where is the list of such group names documented, what packages they contain, and how to install them. Thanx!!!

Toshiba support in the kernel.
by Lain Cortés González 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

So, as I'm not a hardcore developer or coder, I was wondering: Is the new support that it's dropped in the kernel for the Toshiba laptops build by default or I'd have to compile by myself from "scratch"? -Isaac C.

akmod Nvidia dependencies
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I just updated the kernel to kernel-4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64 and rebooted. The system came up in VGA mode, presumably because kmod-nvidia had not recompiled. Is there a way to force this, or do I have to wait for an update to akmod-nvidia? For the moment I removed akmod-nvidia and rebooted with Nouveau. This seems rather inelegant. I thought the akmod thing was supposed to take care of these dependencies, or am I missing something? poc

Firefox scrollbar problem
by Philip Heron 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hi all, I've noticed since F22 I can't grab the Firefox scrollbar with the mouse pointer when it's on the very right of the bar. I have to move it in a pixel or two in before it works. It's like there's a thin inactive border around it. Someone else noticed it too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1232399 Anyone know a workaround? No other programs on F22 seem to have this problem, even Thunderbird. -Phil

rngd read error
by Timothy Murphy 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

When I re-boot my Fedora-21/KDE laptop I get dozens of error lines "rngd read error" in /var/log/messages . This has been happening for some time. I've ignored it up to now, as it seems to have no bad consequences. But the number of times this line is repeated seems to be increasing, so I thought I would look into it. Many people have asked about this error message, but the only helpful response I have seen was in <https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/48046/boot-hangs-rngd-read-error//>, where I read (in one of the answers): ------------------------ rngd gathers entropy from a hardware device, You don't have one, so rngd doesn't work. This is expected, and not related to your problem. You can do systemctl disable rngd with no ill effects to stop seeing the messages ------------------------ I've followed this advice, but am left wondering from what "hardware device" rngd would "gather entropy"? Incidentally, I read at one point that I could learn more from journalctl. But when I run "sudo journalctl" I get an enormous number of lines, ending with lines 262810-262850, dated March 10 (I assume this year). Is there some way of culling journalctl? I tried "sudo journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=rngd" but just got the response Logs begin at Tue 2015-01-13 07:42:13 CET, end at Mon 2015-06-29 17:25:30 CEST I found "man journalctl" more or less unintelligible. Maybe it was written by a machine? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

gnome3 and gdm in f22
by Joachim Backes 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hi all F22 users, having the following problem in F22/gdm with my ATI-Radeon video card 5400: If logging out from a gnome3 session, it takes a very long time until the login screen of gdm re-appears (10-20 secs). Some times I have to restart my box because the screen remains dark after logging out (the screen reports: no signal). Sometimes it helps to click on the screen for getting back the login screen. But: if running mate for example as desktop environment, the gdm screen re-appears immediately after having logged out. Any recipe? Kind regards Joachim Backes Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) Kernel-4.0.7-300.fc22.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

DNF problems - maybe force ftp->http ?
by Martin Møller Skarbiniks Pedersen 30 Jun '15

Hi, I am having big problems install new software and upgrading my current F22 using DNF. Maybe I am wrong but I think that if I could force dnf to use http(s) instead of ftp, then my problems would be solved. Please advise.

DNF problems. (George R Goffe)
by George R Goffe 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Thanks to whomever hinted "groupinstall". It's working great. This option is NOT listed in the man page. Sigh. FWIW, I'll file a bug report for this. I wonder what else is missing... Anyway, THANKS for your help! George...

Journal question
by Joe Zeff 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Somebody on a web forum, posted a very good question, that I can't answer, but would like to. In this post on systemd-commits: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-commits/2012-July/002320.html there's this statement: systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading Does anybody here understand what's misleading?
