something is turning on fingerprint reader and leaving it on
by Neal Becker
Every since a recent update (f23), something is turning on my fingerprint
reader on my lenovo x1 carbon, when it's time to enter a password. But
unlike previously, where the reader would simply timeout and stop blinking
(I never actually use it), now it's just left on forever.

"Brave" new browser
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I recently became aware of a new browser called "Brave" which ditches ads (www.brave.com) or pays you to watch them and have been using it for a couple of days now. It is certainly faster than Firefox which is a great browser but freezes quite a bit.
But I was wondering: is the license appropriate enough to bring to Fedora? The license is Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 and is attached.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

dnf and yum caches
by Paolo Galtieri
This is a problem that has existed for a long time, and is starting to
get really annoying. I'm running F22 and when I do an update the
directories /var/cache/dnf and /var/cache/yum fill up and there doesn't
seem to be any way to clean them out.
cd /var/cache
cd yum/x86_64/22

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64
by Gordon Messmer
Is anyone else having trouble with
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64?
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-cebdf579ca
I updated this morning, and with that update applied, when I lock the
session and my monitors shut off, the system takes a very long time
(which varies, but 15 seconds seems like a minimum) to turn them back on
and show a password prompt. The logs also indicate that Xorg triggered
the OOM killer and terminated my session while I was out to lunch.
When I revert to an earlier Xorg package, the system works normally.

Fedora 23 multiple CPU cooling/temp errors every day
by CS DBA
Hi all;
Daily I see anywhere from 10 - 50 or more of these alerts via abrt. I'm
running Fedora 23 (KDE Spin) fully up to date on a Lenovo X1 carbon 3rd
gen. In all the alerts I see that the trip temp was exceeded, and then
dropped below the trip temp within 1 second.
Below is a sample of the output.
Should I be concerned? If not can I disable the popup alert? If so,
recommendations? should I consider cleaning & replacing the cpu thermal
compound?
Thanks in advance
The kernel log indicates that hardware errors were detected.

Windows 10 virt-manager access Samba server
by Chris Murphy
computer1 = Fedora 23 Server, running samba-4.3.6
computer2 =Fedora 23 Workstation, virt-manager VM Windows 10
computer2 happens to be a Mac, and whether Fedora or OS X I can share
files just fine from the Samba server. UI wise both Fedora and OS X
are about as brain dead simple as it gets, which is what I expect in
the modern era.
Files > Other Locations > Windows Network > COLOR > F23S
Where COLOR is the workgroup set in the samba server's smb.conf and
F23S is the hostname. OS X doesn't seem to care about workgroup at
all, I never even see the word COLOR when I connect. But in any case
both of those OS's work.
Windows 10 in a VM, virt-manager running on Fedora 23 Workstation is
revisiting misery. It sees only itself in the Explorer under Network.
I read elsewhere the workgroups need to match among Windows machines,
so I change workgroup from WORKGROUP to COLOR. And f'n wow, really, in
2016 I have to reboot Windows 10 for network changes to take effect?
Stunning. So the VM comes up and it still doesn't see the Samba
server, and meanwhile Fedora Workstation can't either. Shutdown the
VM, Fedora Workstation can see the samba server again. Boot up the VM,
now it's gone.
So I change the workgroup in Windows 10 to DUNG, and reboot. Fedora
Worktstation can now see the Samba server whether the Windows 10 VM is
running or not.
But that ultimately doesn't fix the problem, I still can't see the
Samba server from the Windows 10 VM. Should this work? At this point
I'm just curious if it should work and can be made to work. But as a
work around I'm already likely to just setup httpd on the server and
copy the file over, fully into the VM which is what I was hoping to
avoid. But nothing is worth this kind of hassle.

journalctl/rsyslog pause/delay while logging
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora23 mail server that's been working for quite some time.
I have rsyslog installed and configured to log mail to
/var/log/maillog. It's never had a problem, but for some reason
yesterday it started intermittently stop logging for about three
minutes, then catch up with the three minutes of missed data before it
begins to log normally again.
It then appears to log for another few minutes, then repeat this cycle.
Looking at the logs with "journalctl -f" shows no such lag with
logging, but I can't use journalctl for this project.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Photo app's -
by Bob Goodwin
.
Is there an dnf downloadable application
that will permit me to extract only one,
or a few, of the pictures in my camera?
The only application I have that works
well for me is gphoto2 and it seems to
do all or nothing.
This morning I needed to snap a picture
to put into a message but first I had to
download 262 images when all I cared
about was the last six I had just taken.
Perhaps I don't know the proper command?
Any suggestionsappreciated,
Bob

Fedora 22 login screen is slow to respond
by David Aldrich
Hi
We are running Fedora 22 (64-bit) on a powerful workstation. At the login screen the GUI is slow to respond: the mouse is jerky, particularly when hovering over user names, and using the arrow keys to traverse over user names sometimes jumps two names for one key press.
Response after login is fine.
Please can anyone suggest the cause of this problem?
Best regards
David
