Thank-you, Bob. In fact, I do already have "galculator", and 2 other
calculators. But none of them are graphics calculators - calculators
that can plot functions. That is (part of) why I would like "extcalc".

uefi pxe not working
by Louis Garcia
I am having trouble setting up PXE for F23. I have configured dnsmasq
for older BIOS pxe and all is working. On newer uefi I get a ip
assigned
and get to the PXE Menu. After that everything quits and returns to
the bios. Any know how to set this up? I could only find dated
information
and nothing current for uefi. shim.efi and grubx64.efi has something
to do with it.
Thanks.

Scale grub resolution on a HiDef screen (Fedora 23)?
by CS DBA
Hi All;
I just received a new laptop, the Lenovo X1 Carbon with the 2560x1440
IPS screen.
I installed the Fedora 23 KDE spin, changed the screen resolution in :
System Settings --> Display and Monitor
Then I was able to change the login screen resolution by adding an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file with this content:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x720"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The login screen and the screen once I'm logged in now look wonderful
(and readable)
The last bit is the grub menu / grub boot screen. The text is
practically microscopic.
If I ever need to boot into single user mode and need to actually read
the text it's
going to be a problem.
I found this solution :
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/23526/how-can-i-change-boot-men...
But it does not seem to work, I changed my /etc/default/grub file to
look like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora_f23host/root
rd.lvm.lv=fedora_f23host/swap rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_GFXMODE='1368x768x32; 1368x768x24; 1280x720x32; 1280x720x24;
800x600x32; 800x600x24; auto'
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
with no luck...
Can someone point me to instructions how to change my grub screen
resolution? and ensure that resolution stays in place if I ever need to
go into single user mode?
Thanks in advance

SDDM Problem (?) With Multiple Screens
by Richard Heck
On Fedora 22 with KDE and SDDM.
I have for some time been using two monitors with a GeForce 610 video
card. After an update a while ago, the DVI output just stopped working
at boot time, at least when the HDMI output was also being used. I was
able to use VGA with HDMI, but now another update has messed that up.
So, e.g., the machine boots, but I never see the login screen, because
the monitor it's meant to be on isn't showing anything. Oddly enough,
though, the monitor does wake up. But it's just black.
This is with sddm.
If I go to a virtual terminal and log in there, then run startx,
everything comes up just fine. The only problem there is that the wrong
monitor is now the default. So there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
I am thinking that maybe the X settings, or sddm settings, have been
corrupted somehow, so I'm wondering which files I might need to delete
to force all this to be reset.
If it matter, I am using the rpmfusion nvidia drivers.
Thanks for any help,
Richard Heck

extcalc: which repository?
by William Mattison
Good morning,
I'm wanting to install "extcalc" (a graphics calculator) on my Fedora 22
system. But "apper" does not find it. I'd like to get "extcalc" from a
repository that "dnf" and "apper" pay attention to so that it will be
kept up-to-date auto-magically when I do my weekly patches. What
repository that "dnf" can pay attention to has "extcalc"? On my system,
I'm currently using these repositories:

As you may guess from the name, "Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-23-10.iso"
is the combined image (sorry, if the word "combined" was confusing you).
This ISO features the "Fedora Live system" (run Fedora directly from DVD
in memory without any installation) and "Fedora Workstation installation"
(install Fedora Workstation edition to harddisk) on one ISO image.
"Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-23-10.iso" combines "Live" and "Workstation"
in one single ISO image.
Most users prefer this "Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-23-10.iso".
It installs a basic Fedora setup (including GUI) pretty fast.
After installation this can be configured in any way you like.
Go for the "Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-23-10.iso", burn it to DVD or
write to USB stick. Then boot and be happy. It's self-explaining. Just
try it out. It doesn't change or destroy anything.

How much cache does keepcache keeps?
by Sudhir Khanger
Hi,
I learned it the hard way that dnf undo/rollback will fail if packages to rollback to are missing. DNF devs don't think it is their problem that packages go missing. Even keepcache is set to false so that the chances of losing packages go high. I don't follow the logic that you write a feature but it's requirements are left to be fulfilled by fate of luck.
> keepcache
> Keeps downloaded packages in the cache when set to True.
How much cache is kept? Is there a size limit? Is there a number of packages limit? Is there a number-of-versions-of-a-package limit?
> Even if it is set to False and packages have not been installed they will still persist until next successful transaction. The default is False.
Does that mean if I upgrade to pkg-1.0 to pkg-2.0 to pkg-3.0, pkg-1.0 is kept when it is upgraded to pkg-2.0 and when pkg-2.0 is upgraded to pkg-3.0 it deletes pkg-1.0 and keeps pkg-2.0 in cache? Basically the last version is kept and all previous are deleted. How is this changed when a user sets keepcache to 1?
It probably seems it is best to setup dnf-local-plugin which keeps all the packages ever installed on my system.

dnf group thinks a group is installed but its packages have already been removed
by Sudhir Khanger
Hi,
I had dnf group install lxqt. dnf group remove lxqt wanted to remove pretty much everything on my KDE box. I removed individual packages with lxqt-*.
Now I can't install lxqt group because dnf thinks it is already installed although there no lxqt-* packages on my system anymore. I can't remove lxqt and reinstall because it will remove everything else along with it.
1. Why does `dnf group remove lxqt` wants to remove everything on my system? Most of it is not explicitely installed by me https://paste.fedoraproject.org/291300/
2. How can I reinstall lxqt group?
3. Is it a bug in dnf?
4. Is there a reinstall option for group?

python-terminado -- missing - fedora 23
by Kevin Abbey
Hi,
I'm trying to use the ipython notebook in fedora 23 but the interface in
the web browser does not appear as expected. Has anyone gotten this to
work as in prior versions: ipython notebook
In the terminal I see the message stating that the module terminado is
not available. I've tried to find the package with the module but it
does not appear to be available. I've found a bug listing here.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219662
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the development files here:
http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] python-terminado-0.5-1.fc21.src.rpm 07-May-2015 16:30 26K

[TXT] python-terminado.spec 27-Jul-2015 11:22 2.2K
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone confirm that there is a problem with the ipython notebook in
fedora 23?
Thank you,
Kevin
