How to figure out which package provides the "Fixed 16" font
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was wondering how to find out the package that provides the font called "Fixed 16" in Fedora 22. The font existed in Fedora 21. Installing the same packages in F22 that were in F21 has made this font disappear (actually, I fedup-ed and nothing font-related that I can tell was dropped or obsoleted.)
Many thanks,
Ranjan

Packages without updates during 20->21 upgrade
by Alex
Hi,
I'm using fedup to upgrade from fedora20 to fedora21 before going to
fedora22, and there appears to be a few packages that have no fedora21
equivalent:
Packages without updates:
aic94xx-firmware-30-6.fc20.noarch
febootstrap-supermin-helper-3.21-2.fc18.x86_64
gnupg-1.4.19-2.fc20.x86_64
libgssglue-0.4-2.fc19.x86_64
perl-PlRPC-0.2020-15.fc20.noarch
prelink-0.5.0-1.fc20.x86_64
1:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-10.fc20.noarch
The aic94xx I assume is for my Adaptec controller. No upgrade for gnupg?
perl-PlRPC is for amavisd-new.
Is this something to be concerned with before proceeding?
On another system, I have the following failure during fedup:
# fedup --network 21 --product=server
setting up repos...
fedora/21/x86_64 | 3.8 kB 00:00:00
fedora/21/x86_64/group_gz | 232 kB 00:00:00
fedora/21/x86_64/primary_db | 17 MB 00:00:23
No upgrade available for the following repos: updates
Error: can't get boot images.
The installation repo isn't currently available.
Try again later, or specify a repo using --instrepo.
I've searched quite a bit online, and all references to this issue
appear to be with much older upgrades. Any ideas would sure be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Installing "Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop" spin, Fedora 22
by Kevin Wilson
Hi, Fedora users,
I downloaded and burned on a DVD the following image:
"Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop"
from Fedora website:
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/kde/
Now, I want to install it on my disk.
However, when booting from the DVD, it starts a screen where I see
"Live user" session (as default) and when I enter this session, I do
not reach a place from where I can install it on hard disk (as opposed
to the case when I install Fedora workstation, which let me choose
between LiveCD and Installation)
The same is if I chooses other session.
Any idea how can I install the "Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop" on disk
from this DVD?
or could it be that this spin is only a live DVD, and does not support
installing on disk?
Regards,
Kevin

vbeinfo and grub2 resolution
by Alex
Hi,
I have a few fedora20 systems running on 1U rackmount servers with basic
video cards. One of them is an MGA G200eW WPCM450
03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA
G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)
Where can I find the current documentation on how to set a reasonable
console text video mode for this card? The docs I've found either relate
to older grub2 or just grub.
I've seen references to vbemode and vbeinfo as well as gfxmode and
gfxpayload, but don't understand how to determine what video modes the
controller supports. Is it possible to choose "800x600" and have grub
figure out which mode that is for the particular controller?
I'd like a simple 800x600 or something that will scroll smoothly.
Whatever the current default is, causes the text to scroll entirely too
slowly.
I can't test this until I go to the colo, so I hoped to be able to get
it right the first time and hoped someone could help.
Thanks for any ideas.

gnome extensions
by Amadeus W.M.
Is there a problem getting gnome extensions in F22? I can't seem to be
able to download any extras neither from gnome-tweak-tool nor directly
from the gnome site (https://extensions.gnome.org). Moreover, in both
cases I'm being prompted to unlock the default keyring. What keyring? I
never set it up? Why is it asking me for a password?

F22: Logwatch audit messages

Every morning, I'm seeing a bunch of audit messages in logwatch reports.
Since these seem to be non-errors, why is logwatch reporting them? Is
there a way I can disable this?

I'm having similar tearing, but I can't say if it's the exact issue
you're having. My video card is an ATI FireGL 300 v.3, so no NVidia. This
only happens in graphics mode, with the default gnome 3 desktop. This has
been an ongoing issue for me since gonme 3. I don't even know how to
report that as a bug, as I can't take a screenshot. It happens at the
login screen in graphical mode.
By the way, how did you take the screenshot? Print screen? I can't do
that, as I can't even log in.
The way I'm being able to run Fedora (currently 22) is to install the
Mate desktop and run Mate in non-graphical mode.
1) dnf groupinstall "Mate Desktop"
2) systemctl set-default multi-user.target # see /etc/inittab
3) create a .xinitrc file in the home directory with a line
exec mate-session
Then, you start the x server the trusted way: startx.
I also tried cinnamon, and that also has some issues on my machine
(though it works fine on other machines I have).
This works for now, but I'm totally dependent on Mate. When that stops
being supported, I'm toast.
