Maybe I've just been lucky but I run dnf on a daily basis in a Konsole
terminal window (under KDE) and have never seen this kind of problem. I
don't use the graphical updater(s).

Create a symbolic link to run firefox 49 ..
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I updated Firefox to version 49, and now I can run it clicking on the
program name from a "nautilus" window.
But It is difficult for me, now, to create a symbolic link in order to run
firefox using the graphical environment of gnome.
This is because it *(already) **exists **a file "/ usr / bin / firefox"
file that is not' a link, but instead it is '**a scrip*t:
- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -

probably (indeed it is sure) in my case it need to modify this script, in
order to run graphically firefox by gnome
But I have not idea how to do this.
Any help to solve my problem will be 'appreciated.
Thank you

Odd behaviour for GREP
by Philip Rhoades
People,
On F25 x86_64 as user "fedora" with default environment I get:
grep Cock application.html.erb
Provider for the National Disability Insurance Trial Site in Kwinana/
Cockburn</a>
grep Cock *
grep: *: No such file or directory
grep Cock a*
grep: a*: No such file or directory
grep Cock *erb
grep: *erb: No such file or directory
The same commands for root work as expected . . but I cannot see
anything in .bash[rc | _profile] that would make a difference - I can
send the diffs if people think I am missing something . .
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Phil.

Weird Disk Usage Monitor messages
by Scott van Looy
Hi,
I’ve just started receiving low disk space warnings from my server.
"Inodes: /dev/sda8 (/home) is 98% full -- 3.7M of 3.8M used, 99K remain”
But
df -h "/dev/sda8 60G 53G 3.9G 94% /home”
Does anyone have any idea what could be up?

rpmbuild: compiles without error but does not install
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have had issues with batti for quite a while, and I came across battray as a replacement (and it works). So, I was trying to put it together as a rpm and perhaps and get it approved for Fedora.
I have created the following spec file available here:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/442597/50173214
It compiles without error. However, when I try to install the rpm using
$sudo dnf install ../RPMS/noarch/battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch.rpm
I get:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:15:05 ago on Mon Oct 3 08:21:04 2016.
Error: nothing provides /bin/python3 needed by battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)
The addition of '--allowerasing' does not change anything other than to remove the suggestion.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong with my spec file?
Best wishes,
Ranjan

autofs not downloading maps after upgrade to sssd 1.4.1
by Mike Iglesias
We have a CentOS 6 system that is running an LDAP server for users, groups,
and autofs maps. After applying updates to a couple of Fedora 23 systems and
rebooting, they could no longer get the autofs maps from the server.
After poking around a bit and turning on all the logging features in sssd, it
turns out that some of the LDAP objects that sssd is looking for in the autofs
maps have changed in v1.4.1. Since we are using the LDAP server to feed
systems other than Fedora, we can't change the name of the objects in the LDAP
server, and fortunately sssd helpfully told you want object names it was
looking for in the autofs maps, so after comparing before v1.4.1 and after
1.4.1, I was able to determine what names had changed. After adding the
following lines to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf in the "[domain/default]" section,
automounts are working again in Fedora 23:
ldap_autofs_map_object_class = automountMap
ldap_autofs_map_name = ou
ldap_autofs_entry_object_class = automount
ldap_autofs_entry_key = cn
ldap_autofs_entry_value = automountInformation
