F22 workstation install - Xfce desktop
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

I am attempting a workstation installation on my rebuilt Lenovo x120e notebook. I want the Xfce desktop. I download the workstation netinstall x86_64 iso and built a DVD. I downloaded: mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/ to my repos server and also: mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/22/x86_64/ (less debug and drpms directories) I booted the install image, set up the partitions as I like (smaller /, larger swap and /home). I specific my local OS repo and the updates as 'update'. I selected the Xfce desktop (deselecting all additional groups for starters) and get an error: Error checking software selection. So how do I do a local install of Xfce? thank you.

no /dev/root when doing remote install using the netinstall iso...
by dcw 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

I downloaded the netinstall 23-Alpha from http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/test/23_Alpha/Server/i386/iso/. The grub menu I created is: menuentry 'Remote Install' { set root='hd0,msdos1' echo 'Loading Linux' linux /boot/vmlinuz-remote repo=hd:sda2:/Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-23_Alpha.iso selinux=0 ks.device=enp0s30 ks=hd:sda2:/ks.cfg --noip6 inst.sshd ramdisk_size=8192 panic=30 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd-remote.img } Both vmlinuz and initrd were copied from the iso. Booting the menu entry 'Remote Install', It gets to the 'Reached Basic system' and after a few minutes drops to dracut with the /dev/root does not exist error message. I added the LABEL to the linux line in grub.cfg that I got from the iso file isolinux.cfg. This did not help. Searches found comments that the LABEL should be set to LIVE. That did not work either. I then burned the iso and booted with it. I got the the screen where you make selections from language etc. I then stopped as I would like to accomplish the install remotely. I have been using the above entry for grub.cfg (with some modifications as Fedora requirements changed) with no problems. Anyone else seeing this? What am I over looking? David

Fedora 20: dropping wifi
by Henrik Frisk 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi, I've been having this problem for some time now, on and off. I loose WiFi and there are no available networks to connect to although I know there should be several and other devices are connected. The only remedy is a restart. Logout will not help. After restart I can access networks for a while after which it is dropped again. My Network controller is Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02) Any suggestions? Best, /Henrik

F22 - building local repo
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

I am downloading (with rsync) the x86_64 os and updates, but noticed how little there is under the os directories, and that there is this 'everything' tree with all of the rpms for the os. Can I rsync the everything packages and repodata directories on top of the os tree to make a complete setup, or do I have to have to keep the everything tree separate?

0anacron cron script produces errors
by Alex 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi, I have been receiving "logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused" from the 0anacron script every hour since recently doing an update. I've enabled tracing in the script with -x to try and isolate where it's coming from, but nothing obvious is produced. I've even disabled selinux to make sure. Running logger manually as root succeeds as expected. # ls -l /dev/log srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 10 06:04 /dev/log logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron: + test -r /var/spool/anacron/cron.daily ++ cat /var/spool/anacron/cron.daily + day=20150811 ++ date +%Y%m%d + '[' 20150811 = 20150811 ']' + exit 0 logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

F20 - Moving notebook pieces around - no mouse
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

I am combining parts of two kind of working notebooks to try and get one working. These are Lenovo x120e notebooks. I took the system board and drive from a system that booted up but had fan and other issues and moved it to a system that had a dead system board. I THINK the dead board was the single board. The new system DOES boot up, but with issues. The biggest is no mounse. Neither the eraser head or the condenser pad. If I plug in an external mouse, it works, but neither set of buttons on the notebook work. It seems that the bios check is taking about 10s. Perhaps it is not recognizing either pointing device? How can I check this? The installed OS is F20 with Gnome. Also the system speakers are not working. Headphones are working. The sound setting app does note the change from when no headphones (shows speaker) to headphones plugged in (shows headphones). Anyway to determine what the issue there might be? Thanks. My regular x120e is in trouble, so I was hoping to have a 'new' working system to build with F23....

Re: Fedora-22: KDE vs GTK
by Jonathan Ryshpan 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Thanks. It mostly works well. Unfortunately (sub) windows in evolution which are used for displaying or composing messages are still shown in a small font. The windows that are displaying messages can be made to use a better font by using CTRL/+, but windows in which I am composing messages don't respond to this (or anything else, I suspect). It looks like I need to edit .../gtk-3.0/settings.ini , but I can't find out what the various elements do. Any advice in this?
