  However, if somebody runs dnf upgrade on the command shell then
  he clearly wants the latest updates. Right now! No caching or other
  magic involved. That's the whole point of running dnf upgrade
  manually, otherwise the user would have left the whole updating
  business to some automated background task.
 
 
 If this is what you want,  use dnf update --refresh instead

  I hope this will be done *fast*, because I have to clean all
  *everytime* checking for updates. Otherwise, no updates are shown, even
  though they exist. This is a major bug.
 
  I'm sorry but clean all is not necessary at all!  clean metadata or
  clean expire-cache should be sufficient.  
 
 In practice, there's not much of a difference between clean all
 or just clean metadata. Because both require the update/upgrade
 command to download all stuff from the network and build to whole
 meta database from scratch, even if that wouldn't be necessary.

Sorry, that's not correct.  Ever since the yum days, they have been
different.  The key differences are these two bits (from `man dnf'):

  [...]
  dnf clean packages
Removes any cached packages from the system.
  
  dnf clean plugins
Tells  all enabled  plugins to  eliminate their  cached
data.
  
  dnf clean all
Does all of the above.


By removing packages, you are losing the ability to do offline
transactions.  Cleaning cached data from plugins, can do any number of
things depending on the enabled plugins.  So please stop repeating this
obviously incorrect information.

  That said, I sometimes do not understand what's the harm in getting
  updates few hours later.
 
 Caching might be cool for automated tasks (eg, cron jobs or background
 processes) and also for some actions that do not require up-to-date
 metadata.

During the yum days, the most frequent complaint on this list were: why
is yum so slow, I hate waiting for metadata updates,  and so on.
And now people complain, the cached metadata is out of date (please
don't confuse this with actual bugs).  There is no winning, you either
wait for the metadata to download, or you get a responsive interface.

PS: I've no relation to the dnf team, just a user.  I however think
instead of complaining on the list, if any discussions here lead you
to think there is a problem with dnf (as in a bug), you should file
bug reports.

Well, your mirror did not get the update, yet. So, what else is new?

I rsync all updates from my closest mirror to my internal LAN mirror via  
cron, overnight. This is probably a coincidence, but it looks like last  
night, at the time I usually rsync things over, the rsynced-from mirror was  
only partially cooked. Had to kick off another rsync this morning, to pull  
in the complete set of updates, including Firefox.

 What do you expect people to do with that information? You don't say

I googled  found this:

Install the numlockx https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=numlockx
package and the edit |/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf| adding the following line:

I did not have that package installed, but dnf install numlockx shows this:

 I use lightdm ( with e19  MATE). when I boot, the numlock is off.

Every PC I've ever used has a setting in BIOS for defaulting the numlock
key to the desired state, i.e., either ON or OFF at boot.  This seems like
better way to do it instead of finding some app to twiddle it for you...

No? Or maybe I misunderstand...

  System - Preferences - Hardware - Keyboard
  
  There nothing there about shortcuts.
  on my Centos-7 box, using MATE, there's both keyboard and
  keyboard shortcuts on the hardware menu. I think
  that's the one wanted.
  
  On her fedora Mate,
  there is no
  System - Preferences - Hardware - keyboard shortcuts
  
  What there is,
  System - Preferences - Hardware - keyboard - Accessibility (a
  tab) - A checkmark for Accessibility features can be toggled with
  keyboard shortcuts
  
  But that does not provide anything to fix her problem.
  So, the issue might be with different mate config menus for
  different distros/versions ???
  Yeah, I have that program too, but it's not the one needed.
  
  pls see if there are any other mate packages not installed:
  
  yum list available | grep -y mate
  
  perhaps one of them dthat isn't installed has the progrm you need.

  She has all of the packages you mention, except for libmatemixer,
  which is available in fedora 22 updates repo.
  But I do not think that the mixer has anything to do with my friend's
  problem at hand.
  
  OK, I have one (or two) more suggesion(s):
  on my centos system, the menu item for keyboard shortcuts maps
  to the program named gnome-keybinding-properties.
  
  On a Fedora-21 VM I have, it links to mate-keybinding properties.
  
  so, if your friend has either of those two programs, that's the
  one you need, at least for the purpose of checking out the earlier
  suggestion from another poster.
  
  You don't even need to link it into the menus, you should be able
  to run it from the commandline.
  
  Fred
  Fred, u r a lifesaver.
  On her system, it is /usr/bin/mate-keybinding-properties
 
  and that was the magic bullet!!!
 
  Many thanx!!!
 
  Cheers,
 
  JD

 Glad I was able to help!


​I observed the following behavior on my friend's mate DT fedora

perl/XS

2015-08-08 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

I updated fedora 20 to fedora 22.
Now, I am in trouble with my perl library.
I tried to understand, but I cannot find any explanation. Hence, I am
think if there is not an issue with the perl library

I got:
Can't load '/home/pdupre/perl_lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Werf/Werf.so' 
for module Werf: libperl.so.5.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory at /usr/share/perl5/XSLoader.pm line 68.
 at /home/pdupre/perl_lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/Werf.pm line 58.
Compilation failed in require at ./test.pl line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 9.


when I run my perl file calling Werf

Why perl want to load libperl.so.5.18 while the perl version is 5.20?

I recompiled my library and installed properly.
Actually, it is 
/home/pdupre/perl_lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Werf/Werf.so

Did something have change?
How can I for force perl to load the right library?
Would it be an issue with?

Desktop Switching Tool

2015-08-08 Thread jd1008

The Desktop Switcher:
System - Control Center

opens up the gui app for all kinds of system settings.

One of them, in the System group, is called Desktop Switching Tool.

When selecting this tool, it displays the names of several DT's:
Gnome
KDE
TWM
FVWM
ICEWM
System Defaults

But no selection available for Mate.

Is this something that the Mate devs should address, or some other group?

Just checking.  Are you currently using Mate?  It might not show 
whatever DE you're using because it's pointless to switch from Mate to Mate.

fedup 20 - 22 - improper X rendering

2015-08-08 Thread Rich Emberson
I used to update:
 fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct

Coming up in graphical target as default.target, KDE X does
not render properly.
With right click I a small box appears under the cursor,
navigating to what I guess is the first menu item, I can
start a console.
A box appears. I click into it and type:
 xterm
Another box appears and I can launch another xterm from it.
At any of the xterm's (and console) I can enter commands.
The area where the xterm prints my input text and any resulting
output text is drawn ... but not the rest of the xterm (which
remains the background image).
I can find the top of the xterm box and move it ... it leaves
a trail of sides of the xterm as it is moved.
Any xterm over which I move another xterm, does not refresh
it self.

Basically, X is unusable.
