is there an explanation of the various fedora DL URLs and what they correspond to?
by Robert P. J. Day 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

once again regarding docker (but really a more general query), i'm trying to clarify the various sources of fedora packages WRT which release/update/testing/rawhide version they correspond to. for example, i'm assuming that the following URL is the absolutely top level of all possible packages for fedora in all its current incarnations: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/ is that a fair statement? so i just want to clarify the subdirectories there. first, i'm assuming that: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ represents the contents as they were distributed at the time of official release, yes? next, i'm guessing that "updates/": http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/ represents only *normal* package updates for each official release, so that ".../updates/22/" are package updates for f22, etc. i also see ".../updates/23"; i assume those would be updates for the current f23 release and test candidates, is that right? then there's the "updates/testing" stuff for each release: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/ representing additional available packages if i choose to enable the "updates-testing" repo. and, finally, there's rawhide: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/ if i want to live dangerously. the reason i'm asking this is that i'm trying to collect a list of docker-related fedora packages with a brief explanation of what they're for, and i ran into the following quirk(?). currently on my "updates-testing"-updated f22 system, i have an installed package named "docker-selinux". but when i went digging through the fedora package db looking for docker-related stuff: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/*docker*/ that package is not listed there anywhere. it appears in rawhide, and in f23 updates-testing, so why is there no mention of it in the package db? is all this written down somewhere? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Strange behaviour of ln
by Paolo Galtieri 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

I've tried this on 2 different systems, and on both systems ln -s fails in the same way. Here's the steps mkdir Test cd Test >afile cd .. ln -s Test/afile Test/afile2 ls -l Test This is the output: /bin/ls: cannot access Test/afile2: No such file or directory total 0 -rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 24 13:46 afile l?????????? ? ? ? ? ? afile2 cd Test ln -s afile afile3 ls -l This is the output: total 0 -rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 24 13:46 afile l?????????? ? ? ? ? ? afile2 -rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 24 13:46 afile3 ln -s Test/afile afile4 ls -l afile4 This is the output: -rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 24 13:46 afile4 The problem occurs only if the destination is in a directory. This issue came up when trying to setup radiusd. The README.rst says $ cd raddb $ ln -s mods-available/foo mods-enabled/foo When I tried this as root I got the strange ln behaviour, but the problem is not user specific. Anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug? Any help is appreciated. Paolo

Open Broadcaster software in Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with using this software in Fedora 22? Apparently, unlike my preferred recordmydesktop, it creates mp4 files. Is it packaged as an RPM anywhere? I can build from source, but I thought that i would check here first. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!

low resolution after grub2
by Konstantin Svist 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

I have Fedora 21 XFCE x64 running on a laptop with dual graphics: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK104M [GeForce GTX 870M] [10de:1199] (rev ff) Grub2 is displaying full 1920x1080 resoltuion -- but as soon as I run of the kernel options, it switches to BIOS resolution (text mode) and runs like that for a few seconds (non-"quiet" spits out a bunch of init/kernel messages) -- and only later switches to a full graphics mode again. How do I make it stay in high resolution mode all the time?? What I've tried so far: * checked that grub2 has "set gfxmode=auto" and "set gfxpayload=keep" * tried booting without initrd entry -- in the past, that used to boot kernel in current grub resolution and show a number of penguins. Now it's just text.. * tried booting with and without plymouth ("rhgb" option in kernel line, and yum-removed plymouth* with regenerating initramfs by "dracut -f") Some more info: bumblebee and nvidia driver are installed to run the nvidia card -- everything works great in X current kernel 4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64 Not sure who to file a bug against -- grub2? kernel? etc?

Dolphin vs. KDE Desktop -- Delete vs. Trash
by Jonathan Ryshpan 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Right clicking on an item in the Dolphin File browser gives an option to delete it but not to move it to the trash. There doesn't seem to be any way to move a file in Dolphin to the trash, only to delete it. Right clicking on an item on the KDE Desktop gives a option to move it to the trash but not to delete it. There doesn't seem to be any way to delete a file from the Desktop, only to move it to the trash. Or have I missed something? Thanks - jon
