Yes, that might be a typo, just leave off the @ sign, e.g. "yum install enlightenment" I have it installed here and it works very nicely.

Fedora 20 / Gnome 3 crashing when ssh session hangs/fails
by Digimer
Hi all,
Twice today I've had my system lock up hard when my ssh session
failed. In both cases, the mouse pointer moved still, but I couldn't
corner bump or even do ctrl + alt + f2/f3/f4 to get a terminal window.
My setup is a fresh install (not an upgrade) of stock Fedora 20
x86_64, Lenovo Thinkpad W530 on an SSD with luks-encrypted root (no LVM,
ext4) and selinux disabled.
The /var/log/messages from the minutes before the second crash don't
seem to show much:
Dec 18 21:01:01 lemass systemd: Starting Session 5 of user root.

The messages after this are the boot messages.
I should mention that, perhaps related to or perhaps an issue on it's
own, both times I hard-rebooted my laptop. In both cases, I had to
reboot three times before it would prompt me to enter my luks passphrase
to unlock /.
I had no issues like this in Fedora 19. I reinstalled ~24 hours ago.
Any help is appreciated.

Weird gnome setup window in VNC virtual machine
by Tom Horsley
I installed 32 and 64 bit Fedora 20 virtual machines at work
today, using VNC video (since I have an old server that doesn't
know anything about spice).
After the install, on the first run the gnome setup tool
runs to ask a few questions about keyboard, cloud, etc.
In the VNC client, a black hole appears with the setup
tool window squished into 2/3 of the hole over on the
left side. I can't click the "Next" button to make
any progress until I discover that I should click the
button over in the black part of the screen where the
Next button would have been if the window wasn't
squished.
So far, no other app has acted like this. The Gnome
help app that pops up once I exit is drawn perfectly
normally, no squishing.

Fedora 20 / Bluetooth / XFCE
by SternData
Where did bluetooth support go in F20?
Under F19, I had a bluetooth icon in the notification area and there was
"blueman" to manage bluetooth devices.
Yum tells me blueman has been obsoleted and replaced by BlueZ in F20,
but I can't find any menu item related to Bluetooth.
There is a program called "bluetooth-wizard". It sees my Roku box and
iPHone but not my Jambox.
This all worked in F19.
Package blueman-1.23-7.fc20.x86_64 is obsoleted by
bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 which is already installed
$ rpm -qa |grep blue
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-4.0-9.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64
bluez-libs-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64
bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64
gnome-bluetooth-libs-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64

I'm pretty sure it does. When I run GTK apps under FVWM, they actually
get buttons in the app itself where they belong. Yet another reason
to run as far away from Gnome as possible.

I am getting so close to pulling the plug on gnome. Just
getting too hard to use with a mouse and keyboard.
would like to get back to something close to gnome 2.
Like I still have on my Centos boxes.
I have MATE running on F18 - and it has a ways to go with
~/.gnome2 as opposed to ~/.gnome(3) user settings. MATE
fails to save workspace settings, fails menu "reorganizations",
uses caja/nautilus inconsistently, semi-fails XDMCP (Cannot
log in remotely-unable to enter password), 'motion' does
not work well on httpd+web browser and so on. There is more
HD bloat (gnome2+gnome3) and it is a performance hog so
a speedy MOBO/CPU/RAM is needed. The look and feel is pretty
good, but it can get ugly sometimes.
I hope MATE & applications catches up to what it was before
gnome-3.

What hath Gnome wrought?
by Tom Horsley
OK, X was working well on my Samsung TV because at some point
they introduced a "quirk" that informed the world that
the idiots at Samsung set the size of the TV to 160x90
just to get the aspect ratio right in the EDID info, so
Xorg.0.log says things like this:
[ 4.694] (II) Quirked EDID physical size to 0x0 cm
then later the intel video driver arbitrarily does this:
[ 4.695] (==) intel(0): DPI set to (96, 96)
Now, in Fedora 20, the Gnomes are apparently going to
some vast amount of trouble to ignore the X DPI, and
dig up the low level EDID provided display size in order
to utterly screw everything up and make the characters
on my screen be about the size of baseballs.
Curse all "helpful" software to the uttermost depths
of hades!
Anyone know how to get latest gnome to believe the DPI
setting and not blow up 12pt fonts to gigantic
proportions?

Re: hacked - looking for doc/suggestions on hardening/securing systems from the start
by NoSpaze
Common rootkits that exploit weaknesses of old systems. I'd say it's
enough to keep updated systems. If want some more hardening, close
opened ports, use a firewall or iptables, create a DMZ, use strong
passwords, disable unneeded services.
Re included the list. There are people who reads the threads. Sorry for
the top-posting, I started :(
Merry christmas.

f20 - nautilus
by Robert Moskowitz
OK. Now I am getting really bummed out.
I want TREEs, not places. Can't seem to do that.
Where is my menu on top?
OK. <cntl-l> works to get a copyable location.
And that advise that gedit is managed via appmenu? I suspect Nautilus
is too, but can't find the tool....
