no /dev/root when doing remote install using the netinstall iso...
by dcw
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?

Fedora 20: dropping wifi
by Henrik Frisk
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

In fedora 22, when a USB key is connected, a icon comes

F22 - building local repo
by Robert Moskowitz
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
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,

F20 - Moving notebook pieces around - no mouse
by Robert Moskowitz
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
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?
Thanks - jon

Problem using OpenVPN
by Amadren
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi everybody,
I have a problem with OpenVPN in Fedora 23. When I try to connect to a VPN using the crt located in the same folder as the params, it fails with a no such file error. If I use the NetworkManager (in XFCE), it doesn't work too. I think it could be a SELinux problem (maybe its denying access to openvpn) but I couldn't find any infos about how to fix it.
If I am using openvpn and am located in the same folder as the vpn, I have no problems.
I already filled a bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1248252).
Please help me :(
Thanks!

Fedora-22: KDE vs GTK
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have just upgraded from Fedora-21 to Fedora-22 and am now unable to
control the GUI of applications based on GTK, namely evolution and (I
think) firefox. There was a function to do this in KDE as released
under Fedora-21 (KDE-4, I think), but under Fedora-22 (KDE-5), there
doesn't seem any way to set fonts, scrollbars, window decorations, etc.
How do you do it? Pointers to web pages are very welcome.
Many Thanks - jon
