F23 kickstart stalls
by CLOSE Dave
Trying to kickstart a Dell R630 with ten total Ethernet ports, I see
this output.
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 23.19.10-1 for Fedora 23 started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain
attachments
18:03:37 Not asking for VNC because of an automated install
Starting automated
install...........................................................................................................................................................................................
The dots continue "forever".
/tmp/ifcfg.log ends with a series of lines like this (where the last
character varies from 0..9),
18:03:40:558 DEBUG ifcfg: IfcfFile.read
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?
/tmp/program.log ends with a series of lines like,
18:03:38.616 DEBUG program: Return code: 0
18:03:38.619 INFO program: Running... udevadm settle --timeout=300
The files in /tmp are not growing though it has been more than 20
minutes since the process started. On some attempts, the dots continue
all night. Other identical machines have been successfully installed
using the exact same procedure.
Does anyone know the possible cause of this issue?

liveusb-creator gone?
by Timothy Murphy
Has liveusb-creator been replaced by Fedora Media Writer?
I'm having difficulty installing Knoppix on a stick with the latter,
although I had no problem installing an older version of Knoppix
on the same USB stick with liveusb-creator some time ago.
The copy now completes without error, but the stick is not seen
as a bootable device, and re-booting my ThinkPad T510
ignores the USB stick, and goes to the usual kernel menu.
I read that Fedora Media Writer is able to restore a USB stick
to factory setting, but I see no way to do this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

can't switch from X to tty consoles
by maderios
Hi
Sometimes with F23, after some hours, I can't switch from X to tty
consoles (ex, with ctrl+alt+f2). Consoles are frozen, I can switch only
to tty1, from which I started X with startx. All F23 kernel versions are
concerned, now kernel-4.4.7. Same problem happens with xfce4, fluxbox or
Enlightenment-0.20.x. I don't use any display manager like lightdm, gdm,
etc...
Any idea?

but have not been able to find how to do
that.
Suggestions appreciated.

Fan/sleep/hibernation issues on Dell Optiplex 780 usff fedora 22
by Matt Morgan
I have F22 on my son's Optiplex 780 ultra-small form factor. We seem to
have a variety of (maybe related) power management issues.
First, the fan often goes full-speed and starts making lots of noise.
Usually this is when the computer is actually doing more work, like running
Minecraft. Sometimes it happens when watching Youtube videos. Since these
are the two main things he does with the computer, it pretty much always
happens eventually.
Second, when this happens, and he then suspends the computer, the fan stays
on during suspend. It never quiets down. So I don't think the computer is
suspending properly.
Third, if I hibernate the computer, the fan shuts off, but the computer
actually shuts down--when he returns from hibernation, he has to log in to
a new session, his apps have all shut down, etc.
I used to use this computer (several years ago--it was probably F16, maybe
18) and I don't recall these issues, so I believe they must be fixable.
I tried installing TLP, not expecting much from it on a desktop, but
figuring it wouldn't hurt, and it didn't appear to change anything.
Any advice about where to start with this?
Thanks,
Matt

intel graphics driver fails to detect resolution
by Neal Becker
It seems if I plug in an external projector, using displayport with a vga
adapter, I can only get the resolution choice detected if I reboot.
Using kde/settings/display+monitor, the resolution is unavailable, unless I
reboot.
Any suggestion?

Is there a way to check which network modes (802.11 b, g or n) my
