F24 starts in command line only
by Temlakos 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Everyone: Today I ran dnf system upgrade to go from F22 to F24. (Long story, including RPMFusion not getting their free and nonfree repos on-line until only the week just passed.) The problem: my system starts with a command line. Rebooting will not start my favorite desktop environment, which is KDE. How do I start it consistently in graphic mode? Temlakos

f24 postfix install DNF messages?
by Tom Horsley 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

The subject line had an unfortunate typo the last time I sent this. Let's try again with a fixed subject and see if anyone can tell me what the heck this means :-). Running dnf install to pick up loads of things for my new f24 partition, this nonsense appeared: Installing : postfix-2:3.1.0-1.fc24.x86_64 1088/3005 The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). Installing : qmobipocket-16.04.1-1.fc24.x86_64 1089/3005 Is this trying to tell me I can't run postfix as a service? If so, why not? If not, why did it want to print this gibberish and confuse me?

dnf not working
by machine 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Hi, I recently installed Fedora 24 (infact today only). I am facing issues with dnf. Here is what I get whenever I use it. Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora' I can reach fedoraproject.org but I cant reach xyz.fedoraproject.org (ask,forums). Also, I cannot download anything from the GUI 'software sources' Detailed errors from the package manager follow: cannot download Packages/h/hexchat-2.12.1-2.fc24.x86_64.rpm to /var/cache/PackageKit/24/metadata/fedora/packages/: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=x86_64 [Resolving timed out after 120000 milliseconds] I have tried 'dnf clean all' but I am still getting the same errors. Output of dnf clean all - http://pastebin.com/e8uEVJ6v This is not a network issue since I can access other websites. Can I do anything to fix this ? or Should I try a fresh install ? Thanks, Akash

by Tim 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Hi, Does anyone have any good/bad experience with this graphics chipset: On-motherboard AMD Radeon HD8200 R3 series I was offered a reasonable price for a system using it, but really don't want to have to deal with something that's going to be pain. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

dnf is looking for a gpg key in all the wrong places
by Sam Varshavchik 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

On one of my machines: dnf system-upgrade download --releasever 24 this does its thing for a while, but after downloading everything (or rechecking that everything is already downloaded), dnf blows up with: warning: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/docker-1.10.3-19.gitee81b72.fc24.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 81b46521: NOKEY Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm- gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64 [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG- KEY-fedora-x86_64] The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. The right filename is /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-24-x86_64 So, after a quick application of: ln -s /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-24-x86_64 /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG- KEY-fedora-x86_64 This made dnf happy. But the question remains is why dnf is using the wrong path on this particular machine. dnf had no issues with finding the gpg key on all the other machines I updated to 24, but what it's major malfunction here?

Auto Mount of Device Direct Connected to Router Fails
by Stephen Morris 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi, I have a Nas storage device that is direct connected to my router via ethernet. The auto mount at boot time that occurs as a result of the fstab entry fails to be able to mount the device. After I boot into KDE I can quite happily mount the device albeit via using sudo. If I try specifying the users and user options in the mount definition in fstab I get errors saying that CIFS doesn't support those options, hence the only option is to use root to mount the device. Does anyone know if this is deliberate on the part of CIFS or is this a defect? Reading the man page pointed at below is seems that CIFS will only allow Superuser mounts, is that likely to change? Looking at the systemctl output below, I have removed the userid and password for security reasons, it seems to be indicating that the boot mount failed because the network wasn't up. If that is indeed the case, how do modify systemd to not attempt the auto mount until the network is up? systemctl status mnt-nas.mount ● mnt-nas.mount - /mnt/nas Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2016-06-23 07:03:48 AEST; 53min ago Where: /mnt/nas What: //192.168.1.12/Volume_1 Docs: man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8) Process: 1390 ExecMount=/usr/bin/mount //192.168.1.12/Volume_1 /mnt/nas -t cifs -o username=,password=,cache=strict,rw (code=exited, status=32) Jun 23 07:03:48 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/nas...

DNF plugin directory?
by Tom Horsley 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Is there a way to ask the question: What directory do I use to install a DNF plugin? Because it seems to change in every fedora release, and so far the only way I can find it is to run dnf under strace and see where it looks for plugins :-). There wouldn't happen to be a release independent directory like /etc/dnf/plugins or something that won't constantly change on me?

Congratulations to Nouveau!
by Tom Horsley 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

At long last, my Nvidia Maxwell card worked out of the box on my 4K monitor using the nouveau drivers that come with fedora 24! I no longer need the nvidia binaries to get a non-black screen :-). But speaking of 4K monitors, in tty mode during boot the characters are about the size of gnats. Will the SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun32 kernel parameter give me a larger console font these days, or is there some other magic required to change the default console font?
