um ... why are my wiki pages suddenly rendering "fi" in olde english?
by Robert P. J. Day
ok, maybe not old english, but recently, my wiki pages suddenly
started rendering the two-character string "fi" as some weird,
stylized "m" with a curved stroke above it (can't remember what that's
called).
i'm on fully-updated fedora rawhide, so it might be a fedora thing,
it might be a font thing, it might be a firefox thing, i have no idea.
has anyone else seen this? here's a sample page where this happens
throughout:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Git_config
the very first line -- the title "Git config" -- renders the "fi" in
"config" as i described above, and it does that throughout the page.
thoughts?

turn off monitors when logged out
by SternData
The monitors turn off normally when I'm logged in and idle for 20
minutes but since the upgrade to F22, the monitors stay on when I'm
logged out.
Where do I tell gdm to turn off the screens if the system is idle for
more than X minutes while logged out?

Problems with journalctl
by Dave Cross
It appears that journalctl isn't set up correctly on my system. It
doesn't seem to be registering each boot correctly.
$ journalctl --list-boots
0 67279b3d530040d997694f7fc89ec7de Thu 2015-03-19 07:04:29 GMT—Sat 2015-03-21 1
And I've rebooted the system many, many times since March.
Also:
$ journalctl -b -1
Failed to look up boot -1: Cannot assign requested address
I have a /var/log/journal directory
$ ls -l /var/log/journal
total 28
drwxr-sr-x+ 2 root systemd-journal 20480 Jun 18 09:34
cbed8c34efb340afbf91f264e57b8278
And (somewhere) log data has been kept back to December 2012.
$ journalctl
-- Logs begin at Fri 2014-12-12 07:55:40 GMT, end at Thu 2015-06-18
09:44:18 BST. --
...
I'd like to be able to see all of the system boots and easily access
logs from a particular boot.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,
Dave...

Fedora 22 Kde font size for app toolbars
by Earl Terwilliger
Hi guys,
I just installed the Fedora 22 KDE live desktop on my machine.
In Settings -> System Settings -> Font I can change the font size and make
it bigger however this does not fix the application menu bars font size.
The old Fedora 21 KDE had a way to adjust the GTK programs to use the KDE
sizes.
How can one do that in Fedora 22 KDE?
thanks

rpmbuild breaks distcc
by Sam Varshavchik
With some external help, I finally figured out why distcc refuses to
distribute builds when I run rpmbuild to build a package.
It's the -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 parameter that
rpmbuild sets up. distcc refuses to distribute a build when this parameter
is given.
So, what's the right answer here? Patch distcc, so that it accepts this
parameter?

grub efi linux & linuxefi
by Andrea
Hi,
I am on Fedora 22 and I am trying to dual boot ChromiumOS and Fedora 22.
I was trying to use the grub coming from Fedora 22, which boots Fedora's kernel via the undocumented
grub's commands linuxefi and initrdefi (they seem to be added by one of the >100 patches in grub's rpm).
linuxefi fails to boot ChromiumOS with the reason "kernel does not support EFI handover".
At the same time Fedora's grub lacks the traditional "linux" command (command not found).
On the other hand ChromiumOS's grub (which runs too in EFI mode, with kernel 3.14.xx) only has the
traditional linux & initrd commands.
It seems to me that Fedora's grub & kernel have been patched so that they work together, but by
doing so, they have lost the traditional interface (which is still used by ChromiumOS).
Am I reading this correctly?
i.e. that Fedora's grub is special and is not supposed to work with non-Fedora's kernels.
My current solution is to chainload ChromiumOS's grub and start ChromiumOS from there (all in EFI
mode), but I would like to remove this steps.
Thanks

F22: dnf - seems to do nothing?
by John Horne
Hello,
I have just installed F22 (KDE spin) onto my laptop at home. After
installation I ran 'dnf update' and it installed a load of patches.
However, now whenever I invoke dnf it seems to do nothing (no output on
terminal). My first thought was to perhaps try using 'strace' to see
what it was doing, but of course I can't install it. A reboot made no
difference.
A bit of searching seems to indicate that there was (?) a problem with
dnf 'install' (perhaps with metadata?), but I couldn't find out if this
was resolved (I assume not since the latest updates obviously didn't fix
it), or if there was some sort of workaround.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this problem?
Thanks,
John.

Basic drivers, installation and regular session
by Lain Cortés González
If I installed f22 in "basic mode" (or with basic drivers), do I have
to change anything (post-installation, of course) in order to use the
regular drivers?
