 Are you running a debug kernel by any chance?

If I am correct, the issue happens with the previous kernel.
I made and update yesterday.
Maybe the issue happens before I restart the machine.

Re: How to figure out which package provides the Fixed 16 font

2015-06-07 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Hi,

Thanks again!!

 When I do a edit-profile preferences in an xterm, I can then select
 custom font in the general tab.

I wonder if we are discussing different xterm applications. 

So, when you say that you do an edit-profile preferences in an xterm, are you 
also talking of the xterm application, obtained using dnf install xterm? 
(Because I do not get such an edit profile preferences there). What I get, upon 
a click of the third right mouse button with ctrl pressed is a bunch of 
options, one of which is Huge. This is equivalent to xterm -fn 10x20. 

On sylpheed in Edit Preferences, that font used to correspond to Fixed 16. 
However, while this is still set from my preferences, it no longer gives me the 
font I am talking about (the same as using xterm -fn 10x20). It did so, all the 
way up at least from pre-Fedora (RH8 or something) to Fedora 21. 


 If I click in the font box, all the available fonts come up.
 In that list is a font called Fixed Regular.
 Is that the font?
 There is a slider at the bottom of the font selection window that
 allows for the selection of font size.  You should be able to adjust
 that to 16, if it is available in that size.
 
 The default seems to be monospace courier.
 
 In fonts, *fixed* is often a synonym for bitmapped, as opposed to
 vector fonts, where the shape is expressed as algorithms, and thus
 scales with size.  So, fixed is an adjective, not a noun; there are
 lots of fixed fonts, meaning the positions of the bits that create the
 shape are absolute, and restricted to only that size.  Resizing a fixed
 font creates jagged edges because the shape is resized as a block.
 Like zooming in on a jpg or png.

I see. Thanks again! I like the fixed fonts because they are all aligned from 
one line to the other. This really helps (me) in programming and writing 
documents and e-mails. Within the fixed, this 10x20 is my favorite because it 
is large while also looking compact. Therefore, I would like this back if at 
all possible.

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Installing Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop spin, Fedora 22

2015-06-07 Thread Kevin Wilson
Hi, Fedora users,

I downloaded and burned on a DVD the following image:
Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop
from Fedora website:
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/kde/

Now, I want to install it on my disk.
However, when booting from the DVD, it starts a screen where I see
Live user session (as default) and when I enter this session, I do
not reach a place from where I can install it on hard disk (as opposed
to the case when I install Fedora workstation, which let me choose
between LiveCD and Installation)
The same is if I chooses other session.

Any idea how can I install the Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop on disk
from this DVD?
or could it be that this spin is only a live DVD, and does not support
installing on disk?

Regards,
Kevin

Re: vbeinfo and grub2 resolution

Alex Regan mysqlstud...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi,
 
 I have a few fedora20 systems running on 1U rackmount servers with
 basic video cards. One of them is an MGA G200eW WPCM450
 
 03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.
 MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)
 
 Where can I find the current documentation on how to set a reasonable 
 console text video mode for this card? The docs I've found either
 relate to older grub2 or just grub.
 
 I've seen references to vbemode and vbeinfo as well as gfxmode and 
 gfxpayload, but don't understand how to determine what video modes
 the controller supports. Is it possible to choose 800x600 and have
 grub figure out which mode that is for the particular controller?

I can't point you to documentation.  But I used to set the resolution.
It doesn't seem to be necessary anymore.  It's strange, when it failed
to set the resolution for me, it defaulted to 640x480, so large it was
almost unusable, but not slow.

In /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, there used to be a stanza to load font. From
an F20 grub.cfg.

if loadfont $font ; then
  set gfxmode=1920x1080
  set gfxpayload=keep
  load_video
  insmod gfxterm
  set locale_dir=$prefix/locale
  set lang=en_US
  insmod gettext
fi

I added these two lines in order to set the screen resolution.
  set gfxmode=1920x1080
  set gfxpayload=keep

In F21, that loadfont stanza is missing, but just putting the 
  set gfxpayload=keep
into each kernel stanza after load video seems to work.

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Fedora' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class
  os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option
  'gnulinux-simple-f908bebb-66db-48db-a429-fe716bf67592' { 
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep 
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2

I do this so the virtual consoles have the same resolution as X.
Otherwise, they seem to default to 640x480.  X has the right resolution
by default.

 
 I'd like a simple 800x600 or something that will scroll smoothly. 
 Whatever the current default is, causes the text to scroll entirely
 too slowly.

You could try setting it using the above statements.

Not very definitive, but maybe it will help.

Re: How to figure out which package provides the Fixed 16 font

2015-06-07 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Thank you very much!

  Sorry, I should have been clearer. I have the availability but for
  Fixed-Regular-16, but with that combinationunder regular, I no
  longer get what it used to be (which was the same font as for xterm
  -fn 10x20) but a different font. (Is this a gtk-2/3 issue? I seem to
  think that sylpheed and claws-mail also is a gtk2 application).
 
 I don't *think* this is a gtk2 / gtk3 issue.  The developers probably
 switched the font they associate with Fixed Regular.  You could ask on
 their list.

So, which list would this be? I don't think that this is a sylpheed issue, 
because nothing has changed there for months. And the font still works on a F21 
installation for sylpheed with exactly the same version as F22.

F21:
$ rpm -q sylpheed
sylpheed-3.4.2-2.fc21.x86_64


F22:
$ rpm -q sylpheed
sylpheed-3.4.2-2.fc22.x86_64

Many thanks again and best wishes,

ISO image filenames should be 
Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-22-3.iso  or Fedora-Live-KDE-i686-22-3.iso
(64bit and 32bit x86), those are Live but installable images.
Before F22 there was an icon for the installer in the live session
Desktop, currently it doesn't show folder view (which displays icons by
default), icon is still there, you can find Installer shortcut
from the menu (also it is on the first page of the menu (bottom
left) which shows favorite applications)

workstation spin

2015-06-07 Thread Amadeus W.M.
Someone please enlighten me. What does the current workstation spin 
actually have to do with work? 

On a workstation one might want to do some development, C/C++, java, web, 
python, latex, modeling, engineering, whatever. One might want to have at 
least windows that come with minimization buttons already, to configure 
our own shortcuts. I mean, really, do I have to get/enable extensions 
just to get minimization/maximization buttons on my windows?

What comes with this spin instead? A desktop made for touch pads, with 
all the social media and online cloud connectivity junk, bluetooth, etc. 
I don't understand, is this how work is done these days? 

Don't get me wrong, there are many good things that come with recent 
versions of Fedora, many things that just work out of the box, and the 
things that I need are readily installable and configurable. But then 
don't call this a workstation spin. Call it a social media spin and, if I 
may suggest, provide a real workstation spin.

I know this will be classified as a rant, and there will be those who say 
why don't you do it?. I don't mean to be negative, I just want to point 
out the need for an actual workstation spin, in the hope that someone in 
the steering committee would agree.

I'm having similar tearing, but I can't say if it's the exact issue 
you're having. My video card is an ATI FireGL 300 v.3, so no NVidia. This 
only happens in graphics mode, with the default gnome 3 desktop. This has 
been an ongoing issue for me since gonme 3. I don't even know how to 
report that as a bug, as I can't take a screenshot. It happens at the 
login screen in graphical mode.

By the way, how did you take the screenshot? Print screen? I can't do 
that, as I can't even log in. 


The way I'm being able to run Fedora (currently 22) is to install the 
Mate desktop and run Mate in non-graphical mode. 

1) dnf groupinstall Mate Desktop
2) systemctl set-default multi-user.target# see /etc/inittab
3) create a .xinitrc file in the home directory with a line
exec mate-session

Then, you start the x server the trusted way: startx.

I also tried cinnamon, and that also has some issues on my machine 
(though it works fine on other machines I have).

This works for now, but I'm totally dependent on Mate. When that stops 
being supported, I'm toast.

X root cursor changing randomly?

2015-06-07 Thread Tom Horsley
Just curiosity: Has anyone else noticed their root X cursor
randomly reverting back to the default big hollow X shape?

I've got it set to an arrow shape, and at some point during
my session it will suddenly go back to the default X shape.

I can fix it with xsetroot, but I have no idea why it is
changing on me (and I haven't changed anything in my
session - just downloaded updates from time to time).

I can't imagine there is any way to track this down
that would be worth the effort, but I just thought
I'd ask if anyone else has seen it.

 screen bit density matches the font bit density, say 100 dpi, then fixed
 fonts will be clearer than vectorized fonts, because they are
 customized for that exact use case.  The difference between an off the
 rack suit, and a custom tailored suit.

Agreed! :-) I spent time ages ago to get a good rack suit, or so I thought, and 
since that has always worked, I decided not to bother with more changes. But I 
wonder if the manufacturer has gone out of business or has a new distributor, 
since xterm is still able to pull in that font:-) I still am trying to locate 
the distributor.

Thanks again for all the help!!

Re: How to figure out which package provides the Fixed 16 font

Ranjan Maitra maitra.mbox.igno...@inbox.com wrote:

 It appears to me that the font that I want is actually installed.
 When I do xterm -fn 10x20, I get the font. (xterm is from where I
 became aware of this font in the first place.) However, in sylpheed,
 I do not know how to call this font. I have previously used Fixed 16
 to refer to this font but it does not seem to work (it gives some
 other font). Is this a gtk update/packaging issue?

When I do a edit-profile preferences in an xterm, I can then select
custom font in the general tab.
If I click in the font box, all the available fonts come up.
In that list is a font called Fixed Regular.
Is that the font?
There is a slider at the bottom of the font selection window that
allows for the selection of font size.  You should be able to adjust
that to 16, if it is available in that size.

The default seems to be monospace courier.

In fonts, *fixed* is often a synonym for bitmapped, as opposed to
vector fonts, where the shape is expressed as algorithms, and thus
scales with size.  So, fixed is an adjective, not a noun; there are
lots of fixed fonts, meaning the positions of the bits that create the
shape are absolute, and restricted to only that size.  Resizing a fixed
font creates jagged edges because the shape is resized as a block.
Like zooming in on a jpg or png.

vbeinfo and grub2 resolution

2015-06-07 Thread Alex Regan

Hi,

I have a few fedora20 systems running on 1U rackmount servers with basic 
video cards. One of them is an MGA G200eW WPCM450


03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA 
G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)


Where can I find the current documentation on how to set a reasonable 
console text video mode for this card? The docs I've found either relate 
to older grub2 or just grub.


I've seen references to vbemode and vbeinfo as well as gfxmode and 
gfxpayload, but don't understand how to determine what video modes the 
controller supports. Is it possible to choose 800x600 and have grub 
figure out which mode that is for the particular controller?


I'd like a simple 800x600 or something that will scroll smoothly. 
Whatever the current default is, causes the text to scroll entirely too 
slowly.


I can't test this until I go to the colo, so I hoped to be able to get 
it right the first time and hoped someone could help.


Thanks for any ideas.
Alex

 This works for now, but I'm totally dependent on Mate. When that

I think both gnome3 and cinnamon use gtk3, which is probably what is
causing your problems. Mate, xfce and lxde are still using gtk2.  And I
think kde uses qt instead of gtk, so should also work for you.  So, you
have some other alternatives if mate stops being supported.

Ranjan Maitra maitra.mbox.igno...@inbox.com wrote:


 I wonder if we are discussing different xterm applications. 
 
 So, when you say that you do an edit-profile preferences in an
 xterm, are you also talking of the xterm application, obtained using
 dnf install xterm? (Because I do not get such an edit profile
 preferences there). What I get, upon a click of the third right mouse
 button with ctrl pressed is a bunch of options, one of which is Huge.
 This is equivalent to xterm -fn 10x20. 

From within an xterm, running in X
$ rpm -qi xterm
Name: xterm
Version : 308
Release : 3.fc21
Architecture: x86_64

I have an icon on the desktop that starts it with double click.

 On sylpheed in Edit Preferences, that font used to correspond to
 Fixed 16. However, while this is still set from my preferences, it no
 longer gives me the font I am talking about (the same as using xterm
 -fn 10x20). It did so, all the way up at least from pre-Fedora (RH8
 or something) to Fedora 21. 

I use claws, an offshoot of sylpheed, and I can find the same Fixed
Regular font available there, with the same ability to set the size.

 I see. Thanks again! I like the fixed fonts because they are all
 aligned from one line to the other. This really helps (me) in
 programming and writing documents and e-mails. Within the fixed, this
 10x20 is my favorite because it is large while also looking compact.
 Therefore, I would like this back if at all possible.

If no scaling is required, and the bit density is high enough, and the
screen bit density matches the font bit density, say 100 dpi, then fixed
fonts will be clearer than vectorized fonts, because they are

 Am 07.06.2015 um 22:28 schrieb Amadeus W.M. amadeu...@verizon.net:
 
 Someone please enlighten me. What does the current workstation spin 
 actually have to do with work? 
 
 On a workstation one might want to do some development, C/C++, java, web, 
 python, latex, modeling, engineering, whatever. One might want to have at 
 least windows that come with minimization buttons already, to configure 
 our own shortcuts. I mean, really, do I have to get/enable extensions 
 just to get minimization/maximization buttons on my windows?

….

 
 I know this will be classified as a rant, and there will be those who say 
 why don't you do it?. I don't mean to be negative, I just want to point 
 out the need for an actual workstation spin, in the hope that someone in 
 the steering committee would agree.
 

It might be qualified as rant, yes. That discussion is closed and in some way 
lost for those who try to use Fedora for real productive work.

And „workstation“ is not a spin but a kind of „product“ or „edition“ in 
contrast to server and cloud. You must not take it literally. „desktop“ might 
have been more appropriate

On the login screen you can switch to „Gnome Classic“ (the round symbol besides 
the login button) which gives you a desktop better for real work (the same as 
with the current enterprise line). With F22 the Classic desktop is quite ok, 
again, and easier to use as having to configure all that extension stuff by 
yourself.

At the end you may better switch to a „real“ spin, i.e. XFCE or KDE desktop. In 
particular, XFCE has obviously benefited greatly from the disappointment of 
Gnome 3 in recent years and has grown up“. For me it's really become usable. 
The Gnome community is a lost case.

Hi.

Workstation targets developers, any kind of developers. But that
doesn't mean that everything that a potential target user wants should
be included in the default install. Should all the Java tools be
installed when someone wants to do C development? Probably not.

 I did a man xterm, and turned up the following:
 
 Most of the xterm options are actually parsed by the X Toolkit, which
 sets resource values.  Xterm provides the X Toolkit with a table of
 options.  A few of these are marked, telling the X  Toolkit  to
 ignore  them  (-help, -version, -class, -e, and -into).  After the X
 Toolkit has parsed the command-line parameters, it removes those which
 it handles, leaving the specially-marked parameters for xterm to
 handle.
 
 -fn font
This option specifies the font to be used for displaying
normal text.  The corresponding resource name is font.
The resource value default is fixed.
 
 So, in all likelihood, the font named fixed is set by X.  That
 probably means the X definition of fixed changed between F21 and F22.
 Since X is undergoing major construction because of wayland, that might
 make sense.
 
 This also could explain why the command line version is so minimal -
 xterm gets no options.  In the gui version, there are probably default X
 options that add all the gui goodies.

Thank you very much!! But, an update from the repos today (I am set up by cron 
to do an update every night) fixed it. So there was something missing which has 
now come in and I am back to being a happy camper (as far as fonts go). I have 
to say that so far I have not had any negative experience with F22 (but then I 
do run a very mininalistic distribution).

Thanks again for all you help and explanattions!!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Re: How to figure out which package provides the Fixed 16 font

Ranjan Maitra maitra.mbox.igno...@inbox.com wrote:

 So, which list would this be? I don't think that this is a sylpheed
 issue, because nothing has changed there for months. And the font
 still works on a F21 installation for sylpheed with exactly the same
 version as F22.

I did a man xterm, and turned up the following:

Most of the xterm options are actually parsed by the X Toolkit, which
sets resource values.  Xterm provides the X Toolkit with a table of
options.  A few of these are marked, telling the X  Toolkit  to
ignore  them  (-help, -version, -class, -e, and -into).  After the X
Toolkit has parsed the command-line parameters, it removes those which
it handles, leaving the specially-marked parameters for xterm to
handle.

-fn font
   This option specifies the font to be used for displaying
   normal text.  The corresponding resource name is font.
   The resource value default is fixed.

So, in all likelihood, the font named fixed is set by X.  That
probably means the X definition of fixed changed between F21 and F22.
Since X is undergoing major construction because of wayland, that might
make sense.

This also could explain why the command line version is so minimal -
xterm gets no options.  In the gui version, there are probably default X
options that add all the gui goodies.

 F21:
 $ rpm -q sylpheed
 sylpheed-3.4.2-2.fc21.x86_64
 
 
 F22:
 $ rpm -q sylpheed
 sylpheed-3.4.2-2.fc22.x86_64

You're right, it shouldn't be a sylpheed issue.  So, it must mean that
the font that they are calling Fixed Regular 16 changed in Fedora
between F21 and F22.  You could look at the src.rpm for sylpheed to see
what that font is called by them.  That is, what font is selected by
sylpheed in the code, when the user selects Fixed Regular 16 as a
preference?  It must be the same in both F21 and F22, but different
under the same name in whatever guise Fedora has it.  

Once you have the name, you can find the package.  Once you have the
package, you can look at the change history.  Or compare the font files
between F21 and F22.  You can even build an F22 rpm from the F21 font
src.rpm using rpmbuild in F22, and install it.  You might have to tweak
the version somewhat, so it is higher than that in the repositories.
Or the upstream developer of the font might provide a tar package you
can install in /usr/local.  

But you have to know the font's real name.

Re: kde error's in f22

2015-06-07 Thread Javier Perez
I had the same problem.
Then I installed Nvidia. Problem went away.
Had to remove nvidia because rpmfusion did not have the nvidia for the new
kernel. The problem did not come back.

I hope that helps.

Re: Packages without updates during 20-21 upgrade

2015-06-07 Thread Alex Regan

Hi,

Following with solutions to many of these issues...


I'm using fedup to upgrade from fedora20 to fedora21 before going to
fedora22, and there appears to be a few packages that have no fedora21
equivalent:

Packages without updates:
   aic94xx-firmware-30-6.fc20.noarch
   febootstrap-supermin-helper-3.21-2.fc18.x86_64
   gnupg-1.4.19-2.fc20.x86_64
   libgssglue-0.4-2.fc19.x86_64
   perl-PlRPC-0.2020-15.fc20.noarch
   prelink-0.5.0-1.fc20.x86_64
   1:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-10.fc20.noarch


All of these were safely deleted without issue.


On another system, I have the following failure during fedup:

# fedup --network 21 --product=server
setting up repos...
fedora/21/x86_64 | 3.8 kB  00:00:00
fedora/21/x86_64/group_gz| 232 kB  00:00:00
fedora/21/x86_64/primary_db  |  17 MB  00:00:23
No upgrade available for the following repos: updates
Error: can't get boot images.
The installation repo isn't currently available.
Try again later, or specify a repo using --instrepo.

I've searched quite a bit online, and all references to this issue
appear to be with much older upgrades. Any ideas would sure be appreciated.


This turned out to be a mirror issue. Somehow even after rebooting it 
still picked the same mirror that was having a problem. I edited the 
fedora-updates.repo file and hardcoded an IP address for one of the 
mirrors that I knew was working properly.


Thanks,
Alex
