grub question

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I have a debian installed and I want to install on the same disk a
fedora21.
Of course GRUB2 is installed to boot the debian install.
What will happen with GRUB during the fedora install:
will anaconda detect the debian install and ask me what to do?
will it detect the debian install and configure GRUB to boot both
systems without saying anything?
will it unable to detect the debian install and erase the GRUB config?
In that case how to recover my debian system boot?
will it tell me that it has detected a GRUB2 installation, but that
its version is not compatible with the version shipped with fedora21?
In that case, what to do?
will it.... whatever I cannot imagine....
Thank you for enlightments

Mobile broadband is not working through Netwok manager in Fedora 22
by debit2005@gmail.com
Mobile boadband was getting auomatically detected by netwok manager in
Fedora 21. But in Fedora 22, it is not working.
dmesg shows the usb device getting recognised as /dev/sr1. I tried with
nm-connection-editor to create a mobile broadband connection which is also
not detected by Network manager. Please let me know how to make it work
through Network manager in Fedora 22.
It is woking in Debian 8.

Getting Fedora to recognize my Kindle
by David Cary Hart
This is probably basic stuff. It's just been a very long time since I
have had to do it.
Simply put, if I plug my Kindle into a USB port, Fedora fails to
recognize and mount it as an MTP device. This was working in F-21.
Particularly troubling is the failure of ADB to see the device after 21
-> 22.
No problem with my Android phone- Mounts and seen by ADB.
Where might I start? I would RTFM if I knew which FM to R ;-)

GDM memory use
by Gordon Messmer
$ a=0; ps axfu | grep ^gdm| awk '{print $6}' | \
(while read x ; do a=$(( a + x )) ; done ; echo $a )
400760
Does anyone else notice that gdm's session takes up 300-400MB of RAM? I
typically defend GNOME, but this is kind of ridiculous.

I'm shocked, shocked!
by Tom Horsley
To see that the "predictable" network name for my
one and only ethernet port has changed once again.
On fedora 22 eno1 is what used to be em1.
I have officially had it, I'm going to eradicate
this scourge and go back to eth0 so I don't have to
change all my iptables and ifconfig files every
time I upgrade fedora (or sometimes when I merely
get a new systemd update).

UPS shutdown happens how?
by Tom Horsley
I just got a new UPS at work which has a USB cable connection.
If I look at the power settings in gnome-control-center,
it claims to know I'm on a UPS, so I guess it knows how to
talk to it.
I told it to shutdown when battery power is critical, but
I'm wondering who the heck recognizes that. I don't run
a gnome session, so is there some daemon that needs to
be working for it to actually shutdown cleanly?

gdm busted?
by Tom Horsley
I thought I had video working on f22 via the binary
nvidia drivers because I could run startx after getting
them installed, but when I changed the default target
from multi-user to graphical, then booted f22, the screen
just keeps flashing between black and the text mode
boot messages, like gdm is trying to start, crashing,
then trying to start again.
I'll try kdm next (I normally switch to kdm anyway,
I just hadn't gotten that far yet).

Fedora 22: cannot use rpmsign in script - problem with pinentry-gtk-2
by Pavel Lisy
Hello
I've used rpmsign in script for long time. I worked fine. After upgrade to
Fedora 22 (from Fedora 20) something changed
This script:
------------- cut ------------------
export LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8
if [ -n "$PASSPHRASE" ] ; then
/usr/bin/expect -f - << EOF
spawn rpmsign --addsign $RPMS_TO_SIGN
match_max 100000
fork
expect "Vložte heslovou frázi: "
send -- "${PASSPHRASE}\r"
expect eof
EOF
else
echo "Set PASSPHRASE variable first"
fi
------------- cut ------------------
is starting now pinentry-gtk-2 and forces me to put passphrase to modal
window.
Is any possibility how to disable this behaviour? Whatever I've found
through google didn't work for me.
Do you use rpmsign in script?

Swithing between gdm and kdm
by René Harder Olsen
Hello everybody.
I have read the mails about enabling lightdm and disabling gdm.
I have also tried it and what I found out was, it sets display manager
via and ln which it modifies by creating a new one for the one which is
enabled and removed the one which is disabled.
Dnf says that kde and gdm is installed and when I changed it has no
effect on graphic desktop displayed.
Any tips or help is more than welcome.
Can it has anything to do with the sudoers file I have set to no login
at boot.
i am not native English speaking person so please bear with me.
