Adding aliases & functions to PATH
by Steven P. Ulrick 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Hello, Everyone I will do detailed troubleshooting on this later today, but I thought I'd see if you can figure this out with what I can remember... I just did a fresh install of Fedora 23, with a brand new user account. I proceeded to copy certain changes to my PATH from my old ~/.bashrc (created on Fedora 20) Didn't copy the whole thing over, just copy and pasted what I really need right now. Then I log out and log back in. Or try to log back in... I get an error message that starts like this: "All shell packages missing" The login process hangs at this point. BUT, when I go back to the login screen, instead of "Sign in" or whatever it says, it says "Unlock" But, of course I cannot log in. If I go back to the original .bashrc (as shipped with Fedora 23) and reboot, then I can log in. Later on today, I will try adding just one alias, or one change to my PATH at a time, to see what it takes to trigger this. I'm sure I've made mistakes with my .bashrc & .bash_profile before, but I have NEVER had anything like this happen. And I've been using Red Hat/Fedora since Red Hat 7.0... Thank you for your help.

What does systemd-coredump do?
by Ranjan Maitra 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

other than slow down a machine? Hi, Of late, the midori browser has been crashing on F23 with unfailing regularity. The frequency is very high, as in a minute (here I was, looking at a ebay listing: $ midori& [1] 10128 $ (midori4:10128): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'bookmark-new' for stock: Icon 'bookmark-new' not present in theme (midori4:10128): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'user-trash' for stock: Icon 'user-trash' not present in theme Vector smash protection is enabled. openjdk version "1.8.0_77" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode) [1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) midori $ Ok, so it crashed, dumping core, but there is also a very greedy process that is started. $top 10676 root 20 0 130192 97888 2420 R 93.8 1.3 0:05.29 systemd-core This process, not always, but often hangs around for ever, slowing everything down, especially if there are multiple instances of midori being opened and crashed, one after the other (and multiple systemd-cores running as a result, one after the other). So, what does this systemd-core do and how do I disable it, if it does not do much that is crucial? Btw, here is the webpage on ebay, I was trying to look at for the above example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-Carbon-Fiber-Mountain-Road-MTB-Bike-Bicycle-Cyc… It only crashes if you play around that webpage for a while. It also crashes at a lot of other webpages. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Fedora 23 Apper display garbled
by Mayavimmer 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hello list, this is my first question on Fedora lists. Gentle guiding appreciated. Problem: when I run Apper the progress information, such as "Downloading gcc" and similar, is a bit garbled. It seems that it writes "Downloading" first, then overwrites it with "Downloading gcc" shifted to the right by 4 or 5 spaces, making it hard to read. Is this normal? Is it a known bug? And how do I search the list to see if it has been discussed already? Thanks.

Major owncloud updates incoming
by James Hogarth 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Hi all, We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a while. The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0 release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2. Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major releases. In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of weeks. We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please remember your backups prior to the upgrade! Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates. If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily accessible from pkgdb: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/owncloud/ Kind regards, James

export of programs via ssh
by Todor Petkov 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, I have the following situation: My workstation is Fedora 23, with the latest updates. I have also several virtual machines with Fedora23 and Centos 5/6/7. When I log in Fedora via ssh and try to run firefox from Fedora, there is no activity, it just stays and no export is coming on my screen. When I log in this machine via Windows (putty + xming), the export is fine. I have no problems with the export of lets say wireshark/xclock. The machine is with the latest firefox/kernel When I start firefox with strace, it says: --- SIGVTALRM {si_signo=SIGVTALRM, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=5575, si_uid=1003} --- rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) wait4(5592, 0x7ffeecd03cc4, 0, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) Similar problem is for Centos7 - firefox starts, but it's like hung - no url back, just gray window. Xclock export is fine. Windows putty session with firefox is fine Can someone give a hint what I am doing wrong? Regards,

How to rip a DVD?
by thomas cameron 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Howdy, all - I have purchased a DVD for my kids, and I want to make it available on their tablet for car trips and the like. Totally legal, not pirating, blah, blah, blah. I've always used handbrake to rip an mp4 file for this, but this particular DVD seems to be copy protected somehow. It's "From Up On Poppy Hill," from Studio Ghibli. Does anyone know a way of doing this on Fedora? My Google-fu must not be good, as I've found references to this being copy protected, but am only finding links to closed source Windows software to make copies. Thanks, Thomas

DNF is a time waster
by CLOSE Dave 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

If I run something like, "dnf -y install xxxx", and xxxx is already installed, DNF gives a response like the following. Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:02 ago on ... Package xxxx is already installed, skipping. ... (long delay, sometimes several minutes) ... Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! That is, it works but it takes an unreasonably long time to do so. How can it be that, DNF knows the package is already installed and /still/ takes such a long time to decide that dependencies are ok? There aren't any dependencies to resolve! -- Dave Close

Dovecot password scheme : Blowfish
by arnaud gaboury 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Fedora 23 I built an email server with postfix+dovecot+postgresql. When it comes to retrieve the user password, I have this error from dovecot: Unknown scheme BLF-CRYPT In fact, my passwords are encrypted this way in my DB. After some readings, it seems not all Linux distro have glibc built with blowfish support. the command $ doveadmin pw -l does not return in fact BLF-CRYPT in its enabled scheme. I installed the bcrypt package, but nothing changes. Is there a solution, or am I missing something? Thank you for help -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx <https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/emlink?emr=05814804238976922326&emi…>

4.6 kernel timeframe?
by Tom Horsley 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

When is a fedora release likely to have the 4.6 kernel (I suspect fedora 25)? I saw rumors the nvidia maxwell card firmware will finally be included in 4.6 and it might finally be possible to use nouveau with my graphics card, so I'm just wondering when I might be able to stop fooling with nvidia binary drivers.
