Install packages with just what is needed
by anlarye
Is there a way to install a package with just the bare minimum required
packages?
I am running a XFCE spin of Fedora 23. I wanted to install kvirc on the
box. But when I go through dnf install kvirc, the list ends up being about
38 additional packages. I doubt that all of them are needed for kvirc to
run.
So how do I get kvirc and just what it needs in order to work properly?
Thanks

BlueFish - how to access a remote server
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi
I would use BlueFish to rebuild my web site.
I build this site some years ago using "Front Page" in Windows environment.
In the meantime I changed Windows to Fedora, so I would like to do this
renovation using BlueFish (that I already installed).
...However I have problem to access to my remote site, from BlueFish..
It look to me it possible to do my work using BlueFish, because I took a
look to tutorial : http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/movies...ote_files.html
<http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/movies/working_with_remote_files.html> that
show exactly how to do what I need.
But the images showed in that tutorial appear to be a little different
from these that I see on my computer..: my opinion about this difference is
that the tutorial show BlueFish to work in "Window environment" instead
that in Linux environment (????)
So the tutorial could be not good in my case.
*In short:*
*I would like to access to the SW that is stored in my site as a "remote
server"* , In the same way I accessed using Front Page..., but* I am not
able to do really this operation...*
Any suggestion will be appreciated...
Than you
Regards

An interesting sort problem
by JD
The sort command does not provide for a way to say that the key is the
last word in a line,
where the file contains lines of varying number of words,
and where words are groups of characters without spaces or tabs.
Thus
sort -k <what should this position be> <filename> ....
How can one tell sort to chose the last word in the line as the sort key?
The key is always the entirety of the last word.
Cheers,
JD

xfce in 21
by Frank McCormick
I am still running Fedora 21 with various desktops including XFCE.
Because of various bugs in the version I am running
I wanted to update to 4.12 -- 4.10 is the current
Fedora 21 version.
A user on the XFCE forum pointed me to a user
repository on Fedora which has 4.12...and this morning
I updated without a problem.
Is 4.12 ever going to be in the official 21 repositories ?
Thanks

mate problem after upgrade to 22
by Frank McCormick
Upgraded my 21 system to 22 this morning...but using the script
fedora-upgrade not
anything else
All seemed to go well...after reboot I went into my mate desktop and
discovered
the panel at the bottom of the screen is not displaying. A quick check
showed it was loaded and seemingly running. Google didn't find
anything relevant.
Does anyone have a suggestion ?
Thanks

rsyslog problem
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-23/KDE, and am trying to activate /var/log/messages,
but when I run "sudo systemctl restart rsyslog" I get the entry
Nov 25 11:40:35 william rsyslogd-2027: imjournal:
fscanf on state file `/var/lib/rsyslog/imjournal.state' failed
[v8.10.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2027 ]
in /var/log/messages and no further messages appear there,
although "sudo systemctl status rsyslog"
says the rsyslog service is still running;
and I see nothing relevant in "sudo journalctl -u rsyslog",
just the information that the service has re-started.
The URL www.rsyslog.com/e/2027 I'm advised to read
says "This is a very generic error code that happens
whenever some unexpected IO error happens",
which is not very helpful.
Has anyone managed to get information in /var/log/messages
as in pre-systemd days?

Fedora mirror speed's are low!
by Mihuleac Sergiu
Hi!
I'm from Romania, the speed from Fedora repo mirror is very low (from
50kb/s to 1 mb/s when it's good, usually the download speed stays
between 50 and 150 kb/s with the official repos and over 1 mb/s with
other repos ) when doing updates and when I install packages with dnf. I
tried using fastmirror module but I see there is no change and I lose
even more time because of the search for the best mirror.
1. What can I do to resolve this issue?
2. Is there a way to manually test mirrors and chose the best one for me?
3. How do I know witch mirror can I trust?
4. Where can I find a mirror list?
5. How can I create a local mirror?

Best Wishes,
