libg2c.so

09 Aug '15

Hello, compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-36.fc22.i686 provides: /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 and /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0.0.0 but not /usr/lib/libg2c.so while gcc -lg2c requires libg2c.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2c What is wrong?

fedup 20 -> 22 -> improper X rendering
by Rich Emberson 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

I used to update: > fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct Coming up in graphical target as default.target, KDE X does not render properly. With right click I a small box appears under the cursor, navigating to what I guess is the first menu item, I can start a console. A box appears. I click into it and type: > xterm Another box appears and I can launch another xterm from it. At any of the xterm's (and console) I can enter commands. The area where the xterm prints my input text and any resulting output text is drawn ... but not the rest of the xterm (which remains the background image). I can find the top of the xterm box and move it ... it leaves a trail of sides of the xterm as it is moved. Any xterm over which I move another xterm, does not refresh it self. Basically, X is unusable. # /sbin/lshw -c display *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:29 memory:fd000000-fdffffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff memory:fc000000-fcffffff ioport:bc00(size=128) memory:fe8e0000-fe8fffff No nvidia drivers are installed: > rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' | grep -i nvi <nothing> > rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' | grep kmod akmods 0.5.4-1.fc22 noarch kmodtool 1-23.fc22 noarch libmikmod 3.3.7-1.fc22 x86_64 kmod-libs 21-1.fc22 x86_64 kmod 21-1.fc22 x86_64 The contents of /etc/X11 is the same post upgrade to fedora 22 as it was for fedora 20 (I kept a copy of 20's /etc/X11 directory).

Hello, It seems that fedora create a ~ sub directory without I can control it. Can I avoid it? I do not see the point because ~ is the home directory, why do we need a ~ subdirectory in any directory?

F22 x86_64 - Chrome: Older HW works with minor issues but Newer HW has significant problems
by Philip Rhoades 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

People, Until recently I have been using some old hardware for both my mail / list server and also as my workstation. Since Chrome is such a resource hog I was constantly keeping the number of windows and tabs as low as possible - which was generally working. I finally bought some new HW to use for the workstation and although it is faster when it is working, it seems to have MORE significant problems with Chrome (or something). On the old HW, if I overloaded it with Chrome, it would eventually grind to a halt, on the new HW, Chrome Tabs stop working when the hardware is hardly loaded at all! If I persist by using a "killall" on Chrome processes and restart Chrome, the workspace and maybe the whole workstation will eventually hang and I have to reboot. Sometimes this will happen while I am using the computer, other times Chrome has locked up sometime during the night . . I haven't been able to produce a sequence of steps that will reliably reproduce the problem. The hardware comparison is: Old New Motherboard Intel DG45ID Asus Z97-A CPU Intel 2 Quad CPU Q9505 @2.83GH Intel i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz RAM 4 * 2GB DDR2 Synchronous 800 MHz 4 * 8GB DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz (I can supply output of lshw if anyone thinks it is useful). I was expecting all my Chrome-induced HW problems to disappear - not get worse! Anyone got any ideas about debugging to find out what is going on? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Fedora on 2-in-1 or "hybrid" laptops
by Temlakos 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Everyone: Who has experience with installing Fedora on a 2-in-1 or "hybrid" laptop--the kind with the detachable keyboard and the screen that can play "touch" when you want to use it that way? I'm in the market for such a device, and I want to know: will it run properly with Fedora? Which brand would work best? Temlakos

Sound and networking not working after fedup from 20 to 22
by fedora2015 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

I know this is very vague, but I don't have access to the machine in question for the time being. A friend of mine, who is even less experienced than myself, used "fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct" to upgrade from fedora 20 to 22. His sound and networking stopped functioning. When he boots into his machine he gets "network has been disconnected" as a message. "Enable networking" is checked in network manageer" "ONBOOT= Yes" is also there in the appropriate ifcfg confi files. Regarding the sound...I'm not sure where to start. A push in the right direction would be appreciated...

Want to help a friend with a desktop problem
by JD 08 Aug '15

08 Aug '15

She is running mate desktop. She does not recall what key sequences she pushed, but now, Cntrl-Alt-F[23456...] no longer work. I tried it on her computer under her login, and it does not work. Creating another account and login in with that account, it works. So, something changed, that has disabled the cntrl-alt-f keys. Any clues how to restore it?

Firefox zero day
by Benjamin Smith 08 Aug '15

08 Aug '15

Firefox released a fix yesterday, and I don't see the latest Firefox after a yum update on Fedora 21. Should I be leaving the repo and getting a binary directly, or is this coming soon? http://www.computerworld.com/article/2966015/web-browsers/mozilla-issues-qu… Thanks, Ben
