A faster and much more useful route is to install isomaster on your main
computer and use it to edit the iso image.
I have used to to remove unused packages and to add packages. It is
extremely easy to use. It's been around since 2007 or Fedora 7 so I
would suspect that it's stable and it works!

one click is not enough anymore
by Maurizio Marini
after one of last update, sorry I dunno which one, let's say by 2 days and I
update every day, I have to click more than 1 time on windows on
kde plasma panel.
Often double click is enough.
Am I the only one, here, to have this issue?

X server dies on startup with kernel-4.2.7-300.fc23.x86_64
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have an Nvidia card and use the proprietary driver, so I've blocked
updates to X for the time being until RPMfusion gets the new kmod
module for Nvidia version 352.63. In any case, my current X server
is xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.4-1.fc22.x86_64.
Rebooting with kernel-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64 works.

dnf system-upgrade fails with key verification

One upgrade to F23 succeeded. The second server fails, repeatedly with

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Googling around doesn't find anything useful.

yum configure to only download one package at a time
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I am trying to upgrade my system and through our corporate
firewall/network filters/etc, the bandwidth is limited. Today while
doing an upgrade, yum was downloading five packages at a time.
Due to the limits, I was running into a under X bytes for 60 seconds
restart.
The limit is such that when there are large packages (eclipse) it gets
stuck restarting each package over and over until it has run out of mirrors.
I read through the yum.conf man and I cannot find a way to tell yum to
only download a single package.
This is on a f20 system and I am trying to get to F23 but I cannot get
fedup on f20 to work through our corporate firewall and dnf won't play.
I am working on the problem I asked about earlier as this is the first
time I had a few days to work on this.
fedora-upgrade is the command that I am using.

A reliable ocr program for Fedora
by JD
Downloaded and tried tesseract and cuneiform, and both fail to
work on any of the pdf images I have. These images are NOT encrypted
as they are public documents like from the DMV, ... etc.
Does anyone know of a free OCR program for linux, that WORX :) ?

rpmfusion updates-testing repos enabled in Fedora23
by CS DBA
Hi All
I recently did a fresh install on Fedora 23 on a laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad
X1 Carbon 3rd edition)
I followed up the install by installing the rpmfusion repos.
I simply ran the command from the rpmfusion site to enable
rpmfusion-free-updates and rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
However today I noticed that the rpmfusion-free-updates-testing and
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repos are also enabled. I thought the
testing repos were for packages still in testing mode, thus if I want a
more stable system they should be disabled.
Should I leave the testing repos enabled? Has the rpmfusion repos
changed such that I should want this?
Thanks in advance

rc-local - How to enable ???
by JD
# systemctl enable rc-local
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
So, what does a user do in order to make the system start (execute)
/etc/rc.d/rc.local at (or shortly thereafter) boot up??

VirtualBox 5.0.10 network problem
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have the Oracle version of VBox (VirtualBox-5.0-
5.0.10_104061_fedora22-1.x86_64) and it usually doesn't give any
issues, but now (under F23) my Windows 7 guest has no network access. I
have the appropriate VBox extension installed, and have shutdown and
restarted the guest VM, but to no avail.
My guest network is Bridged on virbr0.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Create VM from other than DVD -
by Bob Goodwin
Apparently I can't make google
understand what I want. How do I tell
virtual box to create a new VM from a
file on this computer or NFS server
instead of looking for sd0?
I would like to avoid going through the
burning of another DVD ...
