dnf not working
by machine
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

a compatibility question: AMD Radeon HD8200 R3 series
by Tim
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.

dnf is looking for a gpg key in all the wrong places
by Sam Varshavchik
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
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?

eclipse Neon and crooked font sizes
by lejeczek
hi users
I wonder if anybody is using eclipse neon on rawhide?
I see the fonts all having different, usually smaller sizes
in different panes. Mostly so small that almost impossible
to read.
Is your eclipse also unusable?
thanks,

DNF plugin directory?
by Tom Horsley
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
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?

f24 postscript install messages
by Tom Horsley
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?

F24 NetworkManager packet loss
by Michael H
Hi List,
I did a fresh install of F24 and a full dnf update, since then I am
seeing a lot of packet loss while using NetworkManager, if I set my NIC
to NM_CONTROLLED=no the packet loss stops completely.
I have a NFS mount that freezes periodically using NM.
