F25: vim-enhanced.8.0.118-1: unwanted behavior
by Dario Lesca
After last update of vim, from 7.x to 8.x I have found an unwanted and
annoying behavior.
If open some file with vim in gnome-terminal and select some text, vim
goto in visual mode and fast copy/paste (select and click with middle
mouse button) do not work anymore.
This behavior also do not allow anymore to select some text of file
opened with vim and copy it with right click.
If I use "vim -C" this "feature" is disable, bur I do not know what is
also disable with '-C' option.
I think this is a bug, I must fill a bugzilla?
Thanks

Issues after upgrading from F24 -> F25
by Paolo Galtieri
I upgraded my laptop from F24 to F25 and ran into some issues.
The first issue is when I booted after the install the system came up
into maintenance mode. I looked at the log and the only failure I saw
was it complained of timing out accessing a disk drive. Normally this
would be of some concern, however, at the time I booted the system the
drive it was complaining about WASN'T EVEN PLUGGED IN (sorry for yelling
:-). As soon as I plugged the drive in and rebooted the system came up
fine.
Second issue has to do with the Mate desktop. I wanted to setup a
program to change the desktop background every 5 minutes. I googled and
discovered that there is a program wallpapoz does this. So I downloaded
it and ran it and nothing happens. So I tried it with the Gnome Classic
desktop and it works just great there. I did a little investigating and
I discovered that this was a problem back in 2013. I did a little more
investigating and discovered that a patch went in to wallpapoz to
support the Mate desktop which was basically the following:
gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename <image file>
So I tried running this command with an image, and again nothing
happens, the desktop background remains the same as before. I tried doing
gsettings reset org.mate.background picture-filename
and this works. I did verify that the set is getting done by doing:
gsettings get org.mate.background picture-filename
so the image name is getting set, but it does not appear. This problem
has existed since at least F22.
The only way to change the desktop background under Mate is by right
clicking the mouse on the desktop and selecting "Change Desktop
Background".
The third issue has to do with selecting the "Gnome Classic" desktop.
When I select it and login I get the Gnome classic layout with the top
and bottom panels, however, I can't place any application into the
panel. Also if I move the mouse to the upper left corner, I get the
Gnome Shell with the 4 default screens displayed vertically on the right
and the application bar on the left. WTF? Another issue regarding the
Gnome Classic desktop, which has been reported, is that the desktop
icons are huge. I can only place 5 icons vertically under the Gnome
Classic desktop, but at least a dozen under the Mate desktop.
I looked in bugzilla for bugs regarding these issues, but other than the
icons one I didn't find anything. Has anybody else experienced these
issues?

closing terminal sticks for several seconds mate/compiz virtualbox
by Wes James
I have virtualbox 5.1.10 running fedora 24. When compiz is starting
everything works fine until something like a terminal window is closed. It
blocks any access to the vm until the window disappears after 5-10
seconds. Openning and closing trash icon, this does not happen. I doesn't
happen with chrome, but does with computer icon and firefox. Any idea why?
Thanks,

Recovering lost root password by editing shadow
by Robert Moskowitz
I have lost the root password on a arm server. Cannot use the boot to
single user mode, but can pull the hard drive and mount it on another
system...
So what I did was:
Mount drive on my notebook
Then in a terminal window as root, cd to the drive's /etc dir
chmod 711 shadow
vi shadow
(delete all the characters between the first and second :)
(save the shadow file)
more shadow <- checked that indeed, the password field was now blank
chmod 000 shadow
The unmounted the drive, put it back on the arm server and rebooted.
Logged in as myself then tried 'su' with no password.
Did not work, invalid password
Tried 'login root' with no password. Did not work, invalid password.
So what did I miss? I did notice a file /etc/shadow- that I did not change.
Thank you for any help

Unintended consequences F24->F25: vim, you used to be my friend
...
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
In the upgrade from F24->F25, vim went from release 7.4.X to 8.0.x.
With that came new (unexpected) features (for me, it's highlighting a
passage w/ the mouse, and automatically being thrown into "Visual" mode).
(I generally use MATE Terminal).
Is there documentation that describes these specific changes, and how to
change preferences?
Much thanks!

recover update from closed terminal window
by Wes James
I just installed fedora 24 and was doing the initial dnf update and it had
gotten past downloading the packages, doing the drpm part and was
installing. I accidentally clicked the close button on the terminal
window when moving the mouse. Is there a way to recover the update? I get
errors about file from this package conflicts with file from that package.
If there's no easy fix, I can just reinstall.
Thanks,
