dnf install nodeps option
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I would like to install texmaker, but dnf wants to install a full
texlive.... I have already installed texlive from CTAN and I don't want
to have two texlive on may machine.
How can I get rid of dependencies?
Thank you.

error connecting bluetooth mouse in Fedora 23
by Gianluca Cecchi
hello,
I have a Samsung S Action Mouse ET-MP900D that I'm trying to connect from
my laptop: Asus U36SD with Fedora 23.
I can pair and connect to the mouse both from a Samsung S2 phone and from a
Samsung Pro 12.2 tablet.
I remember in the past on the same PC with Fedora 21 I was able to connect
to this mouse.
But now on fedora 23 I get:
[root@ope46 ~]# bluetoothctl

Tried also from mate and from kde sessio s with same results.
Device added successfully, but failed to connect
Connection Failed: blueman.bluez.errors.DBusFailedError: Input/output error
I also found some reference to create file /etc/sysconfig/bluetooth and
include
HID2HCI_ENABLE=true
But after done and reboot same behavior.
How to debug further?
Thanks in advance.

You keep mentioning that the external monitor is bright, but that is
irrelevant. There is no way for software to adjust the brightness of an
external monitor. Power saving yes, but not the brightness.

Does your laptop have an ambient light sensor? I had one go bad on an Acer laptop that
would cause trouble. In my case it was flaky and would randomly dim/brighten. It has
been a while now, but I think I had to short it out to get things working well.

F23 kickstart stalls
by CLOSE Dave
Trying to kickstart a Dell R630 with ten total Ethernet ports, I see
this output.
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 23.19.10-1 for Fedora 23 started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain
attachments
18:03:37 Not asking for VNC because of an automated install
Starting automated
install...........................................................................................................................................................................................
The dots continue "forever".
/tmp/ifcfg.log ends with a series of lines like this (where the last
character varies from 0..9),
18:03:40:558 DEBUG ifcfg: IfcfFile.read
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?
/tmp/program.log ends with a series of lines like,
18:03:38.616 DEBUG program: Return code: 0
18:03:38.619 INFO program: Running... udevadm settle --timeout=300
The files in /tmp are not growing though it has been more than 20
minutes since the process started. On some attempts, the dots continue
all night. Other identical machines have been successfully installed
using the exact same procedure.
Does anyone know the possible cause of this issue?

Keyboard Volume Control Keys
by Jon LaBadie
Running F23, mate desktop and compiz.
Each time I login the three volume keys on my
keyboard cause no action. If I go into the
program "/usr/bin/mate-keyboard-properties"
either as a CLI or the System->Preferences menu
and immediately exit the keys work as expected.
Can anyone suggest a way to activate the volume
keys automatically on login?
Thanks,
Jon

How old is your laptop? Is it old enough that the video card might be
wearing out?

Which of course will promptly be reverted the next update leading to
eternal dependency hell fights, and would have to be done for every package
that has a dependency on a texlive subpackage.
Naturally the "correct" answer is not to mix source and package installs on
a package based system.
Why did you feel a need for CTAN?
The best of the bad options are:
Grab the texlive srpm and adapt it to your version (do note that the spec
for it is hideous).
Create an empty meta rpm that has no files contents but provides the
texlive stuff so the dependency chain isn't broken and you don't have to
custom install edited versions of a bunch of packages.
The latter is the best bad option, but there will be no texlive updates and
packages that expect a particular version or path may misbehave with your
CTAN install.

New kernel will not boot after upgrade from fedora-21 to fedora-22
by Bill Perkins
I have this system that I have been using that was running Fedora 21.
I just updated it today (Monday) to Fedora 22. It is an old Dell
Optiplex GX620 with two 2TB disk drives set up with two partitions
each in a RAID One configuration. LVM2 runs on top of the second
partition with several logical volumes. This system had been running
just fine before I did the upgrade. After the upgrade, the system will
not boot using one of the new Fedora 22 kernels. It boots just fine
using one of the old Fedora 21 kernels that did not get replaced during
the upgrade.
I can get the system up using one of the new kernels, but I have to
wait until it stops at a Dracut prompt. I then manual run "mdadm --
assemble --scan" to get the RAID One partitions assembled, and "lvm
vgchange -a y" to get the Volume Group built. After that, I issue an
"exit" and the system completes the boot process. I need to figure out
why this system will not boot without intervention. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
I have tried to rebuild the initramfs with dracut, no joy doing that.
Here is some of the data:
