Disabling CPU throttling on fedora22
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora22 SuperMicro system operating as a mail server that
has no need to have the CPU throttled. I'm having trouble figuring out
how to disable the throttling. There also doesn't appear to be any
recent threads discussing this previously.
It appears some are running at full speed while others are not:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep Hz
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 1875.187
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 2188.687
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 2399.906
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 1475.812
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 2075.437
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 2340.750
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 1262.062
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz
cpu MHz : 2111.812
I've searched for the programs I've used in the past, including
cpuspeed and cpufreq-* but they appear to no longer exist.
I've looked in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
and all are set to "performance".
What is the procedure for disabling CPU throttling permanently?
Thanks,
Alex

Firefox and Fedora 23
by Jeffrey Ross
I think I'm running into this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439598
Whenever I restart firefox the language used for spelling reverts back to the previous value of English(Malawi) even though I change it to en-US.
Also when restarting Firefox I get the message saying that I haven't restarted firefox in a while and it asks me if I want to reset my configuration. It doesn't matter if I say yet or no the message comes up next time I restart.
Suggestions or am I better off switching to another browser (Chrome) or installing Firefox from a different location?
Thanks, Jeff

sound
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I do not use much my speaker. It seems since I update from fc21 to fc22
I lost the sound! Actually, the test of the speakers is OK, but
still no sound from an application.
I have been to sound: application alsa plug-in is ON
Output: the sound device is LineOut: Built-in Audio,
I only have the choice of Analog Stereo Output.
How can I fix the issue ?
Thank.

submitted RPMs and awaiting action?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Some time ago, circa May 2015, there was a long thread called "Biting the Bullet" [1] where some others complained about the lack of pdftk on F21 and later. (This complaint also manifested itself sometime later.)
In response, and with both general and more specific help from those more experienced, I was able to put together an RPM for pdf-stapler as an alternative to pdftk. I submitted to a black hole called Fedora packaging where there was some churn, some more suggestions (a few contradicting the other) which I duly implemented but no one actually able to move the process forward. However, it sits here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234210
unassigned. It has passed through rpmlint (no errors, only a few nonsensical spelling warnings) and whatever else it was supposed to pass as per packaging guidelines. So also is the case of sylfilter which I packaged separately, and no one has even bothered to comment on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265685
Now, I understand that quality control is an important part of the Fedora packaging which is what makes it a good product (and I am no great RPM-maker, witness my questions on the subject), and there is a dearth of enough people eligible to assign to, but surely, there must be some better way to handle new proposed packages. For instance, if automated setups clear a package, perhaps it would be better to move it to the top of the list or even clear it for testing and see what happens? Otherwise, there will be frustration and the pool of packagers will not grow. Not to mention that if packages sit like this this for months before being acted upon, then the original packager will have lost context and memory and moved on (certainly it would be frustrating and more onerous on him/her than it would be if it were acted upon sooner). Otherwise, people will move on.
I don't need these packages because I have them for myself. Indeed, I could be more sloppy in creating these rpms (or not even bothering to do so), but the reason for putting this out is benefit to the community which has also benefited me/us. This is especially true for niche packages such as sylfilter, etc which may not even have much users who would be willing to test it.
I have some experience with submitting packages for R. My experience there is that if it passes all the tests, it is by and large through, but if it does not (surprisingly, Macs are the killers in most cases), it is not, and feedback is fairly quick.
Perhaps, it would be worthwhile to think about how to streamline the process. At this point, I am fully expecting the familiar notice for EOL eventually.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Setting borders (left/rightbottom) on windows (F23/Gnome3.18)
by Jouk Jansen
Hi all,
I would like to set finite (they now seem "zero"-sized) borders to all
windows displayed on my F23/Gnome3.18 system. I already figured out how to
change the colour of the title bar (so I already work with a tweaked version
of the Radiance theme)
Can someone point me to the right "border" parameters in the .css files that
set the borders widths for the the left/right and bottom sides of the
displayed windows.
regards
Jouk

Now my bottom panel has disappeared. HTOP says mate panel is loaded but

Any suggestion on how I can debug this latest improvement :)

It's 2015, and OOM handling still sucks
by Neal Becker
I have a pretty nice workstation, with 8 cores and 32G RAM.
A stupid little python program just killed it by consuming all the memory,
driving it into swapping hell.
I couldn't even ssh into it - I started up ssh and went for coffee. On
return I still didn't have a prompt. Had to power cycle it.
This is F23, everything is setup default regarding kernel memory policies,
etc.
So, can we configure things to give a better experience? Can we make this
default?

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.
