Changing systems
by Mike Chambers
Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving,
Could I take 2 HD's out of 1 computer, move them to a different
computer, obviously having to reinstall grub and such, would they work
without having to do much of anything else?
I know I have to make sure the correct one is booted up and how they
are connected, and the BIOS sees them correctly.
Anything else to know first? The computers are both pretty new so not
like going from 10 year old to a 1 year old or anything, both only 3-5
years old even if that old.

Appending the file modified date to the file name
by Robert Moskowitz
I am pulling a bunch of recordings off my android phone. I found
simple-mtpfs to be able to use 'cp -a' to actually copy the files and
preserve their date information.
Now I want to rename these files, which are all lectures to have the
date of creation/lastmodified in the file name. All my searching has
only found how to put the current date into the file name, I can'f find
anything on using the actual file date.
Can anyone point me to how to do this?

rpmbuild error
by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
I am trying to build a RPM for luksipc to allow for in-place LUKS encryption of existing HDDs from a LiveUSB without erasing their data but I am running into some errors. The trouble is that the file does not come with a make install in the Makefile: thus the executable is not moved to the file. Therefore, I wonder how do I deal with such a situation?
Here is the SPEC file:
$ fpaste luksipc.spec
Uploading (1.8KiB)...
WARNING: Could not shorten URL
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/295683/88575141
I tried taking out the line
%{_bindir}/%{name}
and then compilation and installation proceeds without error, except that I end up with a package which does not have an executable, hence is essentially useless.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

f23 :: bluetooth ralink RT3290 - no driver found
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! It would seem that the current kernel of f23 have no support for the bluetooth part
of RT3290 ... is it possible to be added? what is the cause for bluetooth not being
supported but the wireless part is supported?
Thank you!

DNF: Retainining old Kernels
by Dave Cross
Currently I have problem with newer kernel RPMs on my Dell Dimension.
There's a bug in Bugzilla about this.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231508
I have three kernel RPMs installed.
kernel-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.2.6-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64
Over the weekend I discovered that the problem goes away if I use the
oldest of my kernel installations (4.2.5-300).
I'm worried that the next time I get a kernel update, my working RPM
will be removed and (potentially) replaced with another non-working
one.
Can I configure dnf so that it won't remove the working kernel RPM and
new updates will replace the second oldest one? I'd obviously still
like to install new RPMs so that I can test them to find when my
problem is fixed.
Thanks,
Dave...

VirtualBox 5.0 and UEFI secure boot
by Celso Viana
Hi all,
I have the fedora 23 installed on a machine with UEFI BIOS, and secure
boot enabled; after you installed VirtualBox 5.0 on this machine, I
create the VM's normally, but when I go to install, I get an error
message saying that vboxdrv can not be loaded; I used the link below
and the installation procedure is initiated, but another error appears
that vboxnetadp module can not be loaded; Has anyone ever experienced
this?
http://gorka.eguileor.com/vbox-vmware-in-secureboot-linux/
How do I solve this problem without having to disable secure boot?
Thanks

Getting "... md5 mismatch ..."
by JD
This is just an FYI and I am not seeking a resolution to it.
While running dnf update, I sometimes get output lines like
/var/cache/dnf/updates-d28e3be95240972f/packages/[APP NAME].drpm: md5
mismatch of result
APP NAME can happen to be any app - so it is a random thing
rather on some particular app in a repeated fashion.
