F22 useradd??
by Beartooth 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

I have F22 with xfce4 up and running fine on my #2 PC; but I can't find the GUI form of useradd for it. I tried to RTFM for the command line, but I'm clearly misunderstanding something. How do I get to the "users and <whatever>" function that I'm used to using?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

DNF problems.
by George R Goffe 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

Hi, I'm probably not understanding how "dnf group install <group-spec>" is supposed to work. On my Fedora 22 system I enter "dnf group install 'Administration Tools" and some tools were installed. When I enter "dnf group install 'Editors'" NOTHING is installed. I do get a list (apparently) of what's in this group but when I enter "rpm -q joe" for example, "joe is NOT Installed". Am I not understanding something or doing something wrong? Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. George...

Q about cpupower
by JD 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

cpupower frequency-set -f 2000MHz reports that all cores have been set, and command exits with value 0. But /usr/bin/cpupower frequency-info shows all cores still at lower current frequencies. This is on a laptop with a dual core i5 with hyperthreading enabled. Also, the info shows 2 cores at slightly different "allowable???" turbo frequencies. See below. # /usr/bin/cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 2.67 GHz available frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.27 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.47 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.67 GHz.

Not able to do a remote install over the network ...
by dcw 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

I can do a remote install when both computers are on the local network but when I try to do a remote install on a friend's computer the following occurs: I remote login to his computer and setup /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for the remote install to go from F20 to F21. menuentry 'Remote Install' { set root='hd0,msdos1' echo 'Loading Linux' linux /boot/vmlinuz-remote repo=hd:sda3:/install/Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-21.iso noselinux ks.device=MAC_address ks=hd:sda3:/install/ks.cfg --noip6 vnc vncconnect=MY_IP vncpassword=PASSWORD ramdisk_size=8192 panic=30 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd-remote.img } I then issue the 2 commands: grub2-reboot "Remote Install" reboot His computer reboots, highlights the 'Remote Install' entry and then boots. When it gets to the part on connecting VNC it displays connected. I had started vncviewer --listen on my computer. This is listening on port 5500. I also had port 5500 ACCEPTed in my iptables. I get the password window type the password in, the window disappears and then NOTHING else happens. I have tried the connect mode, direct mode, re-tested on a local computer to verify I have his computer setup correctly. I have setup my firewall to ACCEPT all packets from his IP address. I took out the vncpassword and I got the initial window and NOTHING else. I assume that I am overlooking something on my side like a iptables entry but nothing is evident to me. The documentation on Anaconda indicates that I have the 2 computers setup correctly. I know I am overlooking something but what? Any help or pointers will be appreciated, Thanks David

Double click in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal selects different text parts
by Joachim Backes 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

Hi all, I'm running f22 with MATE desktop and GNOME3 desktop. I'm seeing different strategies selecting text in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal: Suppose there is a line containing the text "sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22" in both terminals. Double clicking in the gnome-terminal on "sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22" selects only "sy-2015-06-13_08" (stopping at first ":"), but in mate-terminal the same double click will select the complete text "sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22". I don't understand the different strategies.

I do believe that I had updated it the last time when I posted this problem. But I will check again, and if it is not latest, I will indeed install it via windows 7 (on partition 1). What I am thinking to do now is not only to gather the lmsensors data, but also to use a fedora (20) package to reduce the frequency (and hopefully, thus the temperature, of the cpu. Perhaps that will go a long way to alleviate the problem.

F22: where is the files hids-id.h in the Fedora kernels?
by Ranjan Maitra 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hi, On the kernels from kernel.org, we have the file hid-ids.h in: linux-4.0.5/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h This kernel is however missing from my F22 installation (with the Fedora kernel).

managing the swap space size on fedora
by Angelo Moreschini 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hi, I need to adjust the swap space of my computer, and using the commands lsblk e swapon -s : I got the following output - =-=-=-=-=-=- [angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ *sudo lsblk* NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part ├─fedora_localhost-swap 253:0 0 7.8G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─fedora_localhost-root 253:1 0 50G 0 lvm / └─fedora_localhost-home 253:2 0 873.2G 0 lvm /home sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom [angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ *swapon -s* Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dm-0 partition 8126460 0 -1 - =-=-=-=-=-=- This makes me think that the swap space on my computer resides on the partition / dev / dm-0, which is 'managed by LVM, and' of about 8 GB. The RAM of the computer and 'GB, and I would initially try to bring the swap space to 16 GB (after I might try other values ....). Since the swap partition and 'managed by LVM should not be hard to change its size, but it is still fairly inexperienced *I would get a little help to do this.* Regards thank you Angelo

(OT): Question about the laptop's lcd screen
by JD 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Del Latitude E6501 (15.6") matte screen, has a resolution of 1366x768. Have been asked by a friend to replace it with a matte 15.6" with resolution of 1920x1080. I have no problem helping as I can open the screen and do the replacement. Q: Would the higher resolution require a different cable to connect it to the motherboard? Q: Would the graphics processor even be able to run it at 1920x1080? The display model# my friend wants is LG model LP156WF1 TP B1 I found this blog that says it is "doable" ;-) http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/e6510-1366x768-to-1920x1080-direct-… Hoping that someone on the list has encountered or done this before.
