dnf hangs - looking for advice
by Timothy Murphy
I've install Fedora-23 beta from a KDE Live USB stick,
and it seems to be working fine.
The installation went quickly with no problems.
However, on running "sudo dnf update",
all 542 packages were downloaded OK,
but then dnf hung after a few cleanups, at
Cleanup: initial-setup-0.3.35-1.fc23.x86_64
I ran "sudo dnf clean all" and then update again,
but it just tells me
Nothing to do.
Complete!
Is there any way of completing the cleanup?
Or is that unnecessary?

Binary file
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
When I make a grep on files, I can get:
Binary file foo matches.
How can I recognize a binary file (without using grep)?
Actually it seems to be a file with characters above the standard ascii character.
I did not find any option of ls for example.
Thank

Workstation 23 (Beta) locking up
by Sanne Grinovero
Hi all,
I was brave enough to upgrade my primary work laptop - a Lenovo laptop
T440s - from Fedora 22 (workstation) to the Beta of version 23.
The upgrade was smooth, Gnome 3 is working great, and it's all looking
gorgeous but the machine occasionally seems to "freeze" and I have to
long-press the power button to force a shut down as it won't react to
any other key combination I tried (from ctrl-alt-del to
ctrl-alt-F1..F9, ctrl-alt-backspace).
Kernel version is 4.2.1-300.fc23.x86_64 (not tainted nor customized).
The boot command line is the "vanilla" one:
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.2.1-300.fc23.x86_64
root=UUID=f12bc342-dcf1-4c72-815f-4d3c0475a9f0 ro
rootflags=subvol=root vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet
Is there anything I can do to help getting this fixed?
I guess a good start would be to report it on some issue tracker, but
I'm not sure which one, or which component: I probably need some help
to narrow it done somewhat?
Thanks,
Sanne

kmod-nvidia-304xx and dnf
by Javier Perez
I have a problem. It happened also with yum, therefore it is not unique to
dnf, but dnf inherited the task of updating the system.
Oftentimes, the kernel is updated and the corresponding kmod-nvidia package
is not yet published. If I update the system, the kernel is updated, but
because the kmod-nvidia package is not likewise updated, I end up with a
black screen.
I can solve it easily by booting to the former kernel, but I wonder. Is
there a way to keep the kernel from being ujpdated if the corresponding
kmod-nvidia package is not available to be updated as well?

fix a txt/dat file with soccer data using awk and sort
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fedora users,
I have a file table.dat with team data ie, Wins Loses Draws Goals For, Goals Against, Total Points as follows:
$ cat table.dat
Team W L D GF GA DIF PTS
Team1 3 2 1 13 17
Team2 2 3 1 14 13
Team3 6 0 0 28 13
Team4 0 6 0 5 23
Team5 0 0 0 0 0
$ awk '{print $1 "\t" $2 "\t" $3 "\t" $4 "\t" $5 "\t" $6 "\t" $7 "\t" $8 "\t" $5-$6, "\t" $2*3+$3*0+$4*1}' table.dat
Team W L D GF GA DIF PTS 0 0
Team1 3 2 1 13 17 -4 10
Team2 2 3 1 14 13 1 7
Team3 6 0 0 28 13 15 18
Team4 0 6 0 5 23 -18 0
Team5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
bash-4.3$
I can get the DIF by subtracting the 5th - 6th and get the goal differential, and the points by multiplying the Wins by 3 and the loses by 0 and the ties by 1 and get the points. I am not expert, but instead of using a spreadsheet I would like to use awk as the example shows, but I would like the DIF to be under DIF and the points under PTS, how can I accomplish this? Also if it were possible which I do not see why not? is how can I sort the teams by the ones higher in the table?
For example, I would like to do something like:
http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/league-table.html/
http://www.mlssoccer.com/standings
http://www.mediotiempo.com/tabla_general.php?id_liga=1
but only using awk/sed/sort no spreadsheet, no database only nice unix/linux/bsd tools
Also add a variation, if the teams tie in regulation, then overtime kicks(extra time) and/or penalty kicks to determine a winner. If the team wins in overtime or penalty kicks the winning team earns two points and the loser earns one point only
Team W L D GF GA OT/PKS DIF PTS
Team1 3 2 1 13 17
Team2 2 3 1 14 13
Team3 6 0 0 28 13
Team4 0 6 0 5 23
Team5 0 0 0 0 0
Here Team1 ties with Team2 and they go into overtime and remain tied in Overtime. After the overtime, they go into Penalty Kicks. Team2 beats Team1 in PKS and earns two points, in the overall PTS
team1 earns 10 total pts, and team2 should have 8 pts. But the awk command on top gives 7 points because it does not take into account PKS.
awk '{print $1 "\t" $2 "\t" $3 "\t" $4 "\t" $5 "\t" $6 "\t" $7 "\t" $8 "\t" $5-$6, "\t" $2*3+$3*0+$4*1}' table.dat
how can it be done so that the table prints out correctly and in the OT/PKS line, the team that wins gets a 1:0 and the losing team gets a 0:1 and each time they tie and go in to OT, a running tally gets going 2:0 or 1:1 depending if they split the games.
Thank you in advance for suggestions and advice. I am discovering awk that one can do math to lists and tables it is awesome. I did not know this, I just used sed -i 's|*|x|g' file to replace text x with *.
Best Regards,
Antonio

[SOLVED] Re: dracut fails to include support for md RAID
by Alex
So despite grub2 acknowledging that the currently running system has
RAID support, provides a hint for the md device, loads the mdraid1x
and other RAID drivers and modules, it for some reason changed to not
automatically starting any RAID devices on boot.
Added "rd.auto" to the linux16 command line and it works now. So frustrating.
How could it work fine for one kernel of the release then all of the
sudden have the default change for another kernel version?!? wtf,
fedora.
I suppose adding "rd.md.uuid=..." may have been enough to prompt it to
start the arrays.

Re: F22/23 + nvidia = no boot...

How did you install the nvidia drivers? Manually or did you use the rpmfusion packages. For rpmfusion, did you use kmod-nvidia or akmod-nvidia?
I have a few systems running akmod-nvidia-304xx, and have no problems.

strange firefox issue
by Paolo Galtieri
Folks,
I have 2 systems running FC22. Both are at the latest updates. On
one system firefox shows I have flash version 11.2.202.521 installed.
This is the latest version available from Adobe. On the other system
firefox tells me I have an out of date version of flash 11.2.202.508.
This is, however, wrong. I have 11.2.202.521 installed. I have
verified this by downloading the latest flash tar file from Adobe and
doing an md5sum on the one from the tar file and the one installed in
/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. They both have the same
checksum. The link in ~/.mozilla/plugins points to
/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so so the correct version should
be pulled in. I tried removing the link in the ~/.mozilla/plugins
directory and re-starting firefox, but it still shows I have
11.2.202.508 installed. Even after I restore the link and restart
firefox it still shows I have 508 installed.
How do I get firefox to pickup the correct version of flash?
Any help is appreciated.
Paolo
