Fedora 23: Wayland problems
by David Aldrich 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi I am running Fedora 23 on a machine that has a 22" display connected via VGA. The display was running fine at a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Last Friday I accepted some system updates and, on reboot, ran into problems. The login screen became slow to respond and I got double characters on single key presses making it impossible to login. This looks like a known bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1275095 'Wayland login screen slow and unusable' So I tried disabling Wayland for the login screen in /etc/gdm/custom.conf: # Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg WaylandEnable=false The login screen now responds fine and I can login. However, the maximum VGA resolution supported (reported by xrandr) is now 1280 x1024, which is course on my 22" display. So, is there a way to make the system support 1680 x 1050 on VGA on the current setup? Or is there a way to rollback the updates applied last Friday so that I can make Wayland work properly again? Best regards David

Wanted to write a program in C , but I can not find the include files to be able to! I used to have Fedora 7, now have 23, but it doesn't even seem to be available any more... Anybody know why?

[OT] Building packages with apache-maven
by Earl Ramirez 03 May '16

03 May '16

Good day All, I inherited a packed that was created for an earlier version of of Fedora, now I am trying to package it for Fedora 23; however, under the %build section of the spec file. Apache-maven is used: %build export PATH=$PATH:../apache-maven-3.3.9/bin ( cd constants && mvn -X install && cd - ) || { echo "Constants installation failed" ; exit 1; } ( cd restlet-support && mvn -X install && cd - ) || { echo "restlet- support installation failed" ; exit 1; } ( cd urlfetcher && mvn -X install && cd - ) || { echo "urlfetcher installation failed" ; exit 1; } ( cd syslog-processor && mvn -X install && cd - ) || { echo "syslog- processor installation failed" ; exit 1; } ( cd balcony-tool && mvn -X install && cd - ) || { echo "balcony-tool installation failed" ; exit 1; } I added the '-X' do that I can debug the error and the error that I am getting is: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler- plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project constants: Compilation failure [ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK? The output of mvn -v is as follows: $ mvn -v Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11- 10T17:41:47+01:00) Maven home: /opt/apache-maven-3.3.9 Java version: 1.8.0_91, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91- 2.b14.fc23.x86_64/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "4.4.8-300.fc23.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" echo $JAVA_HOME show: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc23.x86_64 and echo $PATH shows: $ echo $PATH /opt/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin:/usr/lib64/qt- 3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/eramire z/.local/bin:/home/eramirez/bin I spend a few days googling the error and I am seeing the same output for mvn -v and a few recommended that we simply replace the */jre from JAVA_HOME; however, this directory does not exists on Fedora even if I install Oracle Java. Admittedly I'm stuck and utilise all options to get apache-maven to work; therefore, I will like to know if anyone can shed some light on this or can point me into the right direction so that I can get this resolved. I have also use the version of maven that comes with Fedora and I am still not successful. Thanks in advance. -- Earl Ramirez <earlaramirez(a)gmail.com>

F23: Heavy paging by Xorg during screen unlock
by K. Chowksey 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi, I'm using F23-x86_64 on a Dell E6430 latitude laptop with NVIDIA adapter. Sometime in the last 2 weeks, a software update that got auto-installed is resulting in very slow screen unlocks. The screen lock itself is quick (no paging). But when I press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, there is heavy paging activity on the laptop and it take 3-4 minutes for the password screen to appear. This happens 8 out of 10 times. vmstat shows free mem drop dramatically from 5G to 46M during the unlock. The RSS size of Xorg grows from 49M to 7G! The only workaround right now for me is to use wayland, where this problem does not occur. If anyone needs, I have detailed output from vmstat and another script that I wrote to see Xorg's RSS size grow. In case anyone has a workaround for Xorg server, please let me know. Should I be filing a bug for this ?

no more vertical scroll bar on Firefox (46)?
by Frederic Muller 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi! Firefox just got upgraded to version 46 and it seems there is no way to have vertical scroll bars on most websites (I've found a few exception). Is this a new option and is there a way to set it back to showing those scroll bars? Thank you. Fred

Clementine on F23 dies immediately after start

Hello community, after upgrading my (32bit) System to Fedora 23 from Fedora 22 (went smoothly) my favourite music player "clementine" doesn't work anymore :-( Clementine dies immediately after start and /var/log/messages shows: May 3 16:08:18 siffux audit: ANOM_ABEND auid=1953 uid=1953 gid=12203 ses=1 pid=3285 comm="QThread" exe="/usr/bin/clementine" sig=11 May 3 16:08:18 siffux kernel: show_signal_msg: 42 callbacks suppressed May 3 16:08:18 siffux kernel: QThread[3285]: segfault at 31 ip 8032248e sp a87f9870 error 4 in clementine[800fb000+1071000] May 3 16:08:37 siffux systemd-coredump: Process 3262 (clementine) of user 1953 dumped core. What's going on? Any pointer to a solution very welcome. PS: Amarok works but is not my favourite. Others I don't like. Kind regards, Frank Elsner

can't switch from X to tty consoles
by maderios 02 May '16

02 May '16

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? -- Maderios

VDQ Yumex(dnf) on F23
by Beartooth 02 May '16

I should know, but can't think of it: how do I get Yumex on F23xfce to use rpmfusion (and ELRepo if it can)?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, NQC Linux Evangelist Remember I know little (precious little!) of this.
