installing Fedora 21 or 22 on a MacBook Air 7,1
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I have been struggling installing Fedora on a friend's MBA as the local
SSD doesn't seem to be recognized. I found a few posts online with
various degrees of luck, unfortunately they never mentioned with MBA is
used and that didn't work for me.
Does anyone has (positive?) experience on the topic?
Thank you.

FAIL: Thunderbird: Replying to thread
by Rich Emberson
I use gmail.
When I reply to a thread using Thunderbird, the response never
shows up, but, if I include the email of the person who wrote
the thread I am responding to, that person gets the email.
On the other hand, if I log in to my gmail account, the
I can post a response, that that response appears as a new,
top-level discussion thread.
How do I response to a message in a thread using Thunderbird
and have the users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org accept it?
Thanks

64-bit Fedora 21, up-to-date. In the last few days, suspend is asking for authentication. AFAIK, nothing has changed, other than updates. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Update 20 -> 22, failure
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
After I upgraded from fedora 20 to 22, I cannot start the machine
in graphics mode.
in level 6, I get:
A start job is running for sendmail Mail Transport Agent
A start job is running for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit
or in level 3,
after login, I run startx
the machine is stocked.
In any case, I have to restart the machine by unplugging.
How do I troubleshoot ?
Thank.

initial-setup-graphical.service
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
In the manual (Installation Guide for fedora 22, 6.1), it says:
You can make it display again (after the next reboot, before a login prompt is displayed), by
executing the following command as
root
systemctl enable initial-setup-graphical.service
But the response is:
Fails to execute the operation: No such file or directory
How could I rerun the Initial Setup?
Thank.

Thunderbird is loading up my AdressBook
by Mickey
Fedora 21/ KDE Fedup from F20
Thunderbird is loading up Email Addreses in my AddressBook that I'm not
doing myself.
I'm get double entries of Email addresses I have entered.
Fedup 20-21 has Screwed up a number of things in the F21 update that I
did not have in F20. I guess I'm going to have to do a Fresh install of
F22 to get rid of these problems.

Blinking wifi light - Intel Pro Dell Wireless WIFI 3945 card in Dell D630 Laptop
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I swapped out a stock Broadcom wifi card for an Intel 3945 card and now my
Wifi indicator light blinks continually. I tried some of the
recommendations that I've found (create an /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
file with the line:
options iwlwifi led_mode=1
Subsequent rebooting does nothing to eliminate the annoyance.
The reason that I swapped out the Broadcom card is because it would stop
functioning after a certain irregular period of time, and
"systemctl restart NetworkManager" would not restart it (resorting to
plugging in the ethernet cable, or rebooting).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (either how to keep the
Broadcom card from dying, or getting rid of the Intel card causing the
wifi light to blink).
Thank you.
