[Fedora 23] Installing KDE Plasma as a second Desktop Environment! [bug]
by Mihuleac Sergiu
Hi!
==
I have Fedora 23 installed on a [Lenovo
E540](http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/e-series/e540/#tab-te...
with the default Gnome 3 Desktop Environment. I was thinking of trying
multiple Desktop Environments, so that I might see what are thee new
breakthroughs. Basically I'm using Gnome for a long time.
What better way to try a new interface then just installing it along
Gnome 3? So I've installed `KDE` using `dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma
Workspaces"` I was very surprised to find out that after the reboot
`KDE` wold not work ...
What happened is that when I chose to log into `KDE` my screens changes
and the Desktop Background appears the just in a few second I'm back to
the log in screen. No matter how many restarts or how many times i try
the result is the same.
* Is the first time I tried to have multiple Desktop Environments on
Fedora, is this something that happens often or is it because of fedora 23?
* And why wold this happen, all seems very straightforwards.
* Should I make a [bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/) report and what
should I write in it?
* What is your experience in having multiple desktop environments on
Fedora?

I think the command is triggered automatically when you install a new desktop
environment so no there is no extras knowledge need to switch DM when doing a
DE install.
I have not played with Ubuntu in a long time. I will have to do an install to
be double sure of claims I am making. I will give it a try tomorrow.
Make sure you are replying to the list like you say in your long signature :).

Speaking of black screens
by Tom Horsley
I only fooled with this for about 5 minutes, but I'm getting a
black screen with GDM when I login. I just got the fedora 23
nvidia 340xx driver from rpmfusion which finally supports
xorg server 1.18 (nouveau won't work at all with my card),
and when I login with gdm, this is what happens
on the 3 or 4 tries I gave it while I had time to fool
with it:
I get the GDM login prompt drawn correctly, I select
the user, type the password and login.
The screen then goes black (or dark gray, anyway) and
the mouse pointer can move, but nothing else happens.
I've waited two or three minutes with no change.
I decide to go to a console screen and see what is
running, so I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2.
Boom! I instantly get a gnome3 desktop. If I do
Ctrl-Alt-F1, the desktop is still there.
I have no idea if it ever switched to console 2 or
not.
Just curious if anyone else has seen anything like this.
When I have time to fool with it I'll try ssh instead of
a console switch to poke around and try switching
login managers and desktops to see if they all have
the problem.

Problems to boot
by Frank White
Hi,
I am a new subscriber but an old user, especially on linux.
I have some problem to boot my box because I changed some files by a live cd.
I lost my root password so tried some old method to change it. I tried
to boot in single mode but it doesn't worked. After that I change the
passwd file removing the x character ... but this has broken my box.
I have rid of the following errors on the log:
Nov 3 17:40:06 localhost dbus-daemon: Could not get password database
information for UID of current process: User "???" unknown or no
memory to allocate password entry
Nov 3 17:40:06 localhost dbus-daemon: Unknown username "root" in
message bus configuration file
Anyone know how to fix it ?
Oh the last thing, my bot does not boot property, I mean it stop at
Network manager startup and it does not give me the login prompt on
gdm or console.
Thank you.

Hello,
I cannot any more make CRT+C ctl+V under nedit as soon that there are

Is nedit still maintained?
I would be happy to use another editor if I find one which let me
copy data by column (CTL+Maj V with nedit).
Thank for any help.

Re: installing grub back to MBR
by sinthia.vee
Things like sda and sdb are Linux. Your bios is at a lower level, ie in onboard flash rom. It's primary purpose is to act as a bootstrap loader for a disk operating system such as ms-dos or linux. The standard on a modern system is a scheme called efi.
That said, you appear to have 3 physical hdds. If you are on a desktop system drive numbering is determined by which ribbon cable is plugged in. The boot disk will be at position 0 on the primary cable. It is likely the first drive on your list. Then you can boot from the hd and use linux tools. If you are so inclined, you can disconnect the other drives temporarily in order to add them one at a time and see what you have.
Incidentally, you always have the option of booting linux and installing disk tools for 1 session from usb stick.

Odd. When you add a harddisk to your system, you can retrieve information
about it either before partitioning it or afterwards, too. If not via
kernel messages, run command-line tools such as hdparm or smartctl. They
print details. You may need to install missing packages for these tools.
Examples:
hdparm -i /dev/sda
smartctl -i /dev/sda
