Can I move qemu vms between systems?
by Robert Moskowitz
I am setting up a 'new' F22 system. On this F21 system, I have a F21
QEMU vm.
Can I 'simply' move the image file in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ to the
new system and run it?
Obviously the VM will still be F21, but that is no problem.
The two systems have identical hardware (Lenovo x120e).

Audacity Won't Start
by Craig Lanning
Something has happened in the last couple of months that causes
audacity to not want to start.
If I type 'audacity audio-file.wav' in an attempt to get it to start
with an existing audio file. It just exits.
Is there some way that I can start it that will show me what it is
trying to do so I can see where it fails? Any help figuring out what
is causing problems and how to fix it would be appreciated.

F21 - Missing LVM swap partition or Hardware Error?
by Erik Grun
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hey list!
So, I am experiencing a bug under Fedora 21 (I think that I also had it
under Fedora 20).
A bit of back story: The HDD which is used in this PC was in an older
one before. On the older PC I had Fedora 17 installed with LVM as my
file system. I had to reinstall my OS after a failed upgrade to Fedora
19. I think that I did not swipe the drive completely and just installed
Fedora 20 over the left pieces of what was once my operating system.
Now the used file system is ext4.
A couple of month later I bought this new PC where I used the old HDD,
because why not.
When I left my terminal open for a while I could see messages popping
up, telling me that there was something wrong with my CPU cache.
After some searching I found out that I didn't find out anything.
My computer didn't crash when this bug showed up so it didn't bother me.
I tried to upgrade to Fedora 21 a few weeks ago.
I tried booting into "System Upgrade" but it would stop after some time
telling me that there is a lvm swap partition missing or something.
I managed to finish the upgrade without any further problems.
And now SELinux (under F20 there where no warnings by SELinux) is
sometimes throwing a warning that says:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------
The error reproduces itself and seems to appear at random.
If you need any additional information just tell me.
Now it does look more and more like a hardware error, but I am highly
confused about the missing lvm_swap partition that it is trying to find.
Apart from that Fedora works just fine. (Well, GTK+ seems to cause
some trouble, but that problem is for another mail.^^)
Thank you for your help.

rsyslog "stop" syntax
by Tom Horsley
I have a bunch of lines like this in
/etc/rsyslog.d/systemd-drivel.conf:
:msg, contains, "Activating via systemd" ~
:msg, contains, "Activation via systemd failed" ~
Every time I boot, rsyslogd complains about
the deprecated syntax:
Aug 9 18:39:21 zooty rsyslogd-2307: warning: ~ action is deprecated, consider using the 'stop' statement instead [v8.8.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2307 ]
Yet no google-fu seems to be powerful enough
to find an example of "using the 'stop' statement"
Can anyone tell me *exactly* what to put in a file
in /etc/rsyslog.d to use this mythical, yet
uttery, utterly, undocumented "stop" statement?
Absolutely none of the links from the URL in the
message have any descriptions of how to use the
new and improved syntax.
The man page for rsyslogd still documents the
deprecated stuff and doesn't say anything at all
about any new syntax.
This appears to be a classic example of open
source project obfuscation by "improvement" :-)

nvidia proprietary driver and console
by Pal, Laszlo
Hi,
Recently I had issues with suspend/resume and it seems related to nouveou
nvidia drivers, so I've moved to prop. using negativo's repo.
Everything is fine, except my text console which is now text (640x780). Is
there any way to restore the way it looked when I used open source driver?
I've tried to search a solution, but it seems simple gfxpayload is not
enough
I've found this guide for FC20, but it seems something else still missing
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/
Any idea how to fix?
Thanks

Firefox question
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-22/KDE,
and am not sure if my query is a Fedora, KDE or Firefox query.
I notice that if I am viewing a page in Firefox,
pressing the down-key sometimes takes me down the page,
but sometimes does not.
Is this basically due to a difference in the HTML of the 2 pages?
Or is these some other explanation?
And is there any alternative to the down-key if it does not work?

Mount USB drive at boot time in Fedora-22
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I would like my system to mount a USB hard drive at boot time, provided
it is connected to the system. The drive is used for backup, and is
usually, but not always attached. Fedora-21/KDE had an option to mount
the drive when KDE starts, which is almost as good, but this doesn't
seem to be available in Fedora-22.
Is there some standard method in the USB device manager, or wherever,
to do this; or do some control files have to be edited? If control
files,which ones and how.
Thanks - jon

More dnf annoyance
by Heinz Diehl
Hi,
F22, in short: first running "dnf --refresh upgrade" shows some new
packets. Then "dnf clean all" followed by "dnf --refresh upgrade"
shows the same packets to be updated, and *some more*.
Dnf hasn't been working properly since F22, while I had not a single
problem with yum ever. Still I have to use "dnf clean all" before
updating, just to be sure to get all available updates.
There are bug reports reporting the same behaviour, but no solution.
As far as I realise, there isn't a way to get yum back.
Any chance that Fedora gets a properly working packet manager in the
near future?

dnf update vs Software Udpates
by Javier Perez
This is weird.
Software Updates on the Control Panel says that there are 39 updates
available
But when I run dnf update it says "Nothing to do". What gives?
