Re: balsa
by Bob Goodwin
I just went through the Balsa setup routine on an up to date Fedora 24
beta vm on the same computer I have been working on with the following
errors from debug.
Note: I now have balsa running on three computers and I believe they
all work properly, two desktops and a Dell notebook, all Fedora 23
updated and XFCE.

wifi madness
by Chris Murphy
Hi,
I have a super annoying problem that is not Fedora specific, but it's
been driving me nuts for a few weeks. Any idea for a more appropriate
forum to post this in is as useful as an idea what's going on or next
steps.
Linksys WRT600N using dd-wrt in client mode, with laptop and Intel NUC
connected via wired. Both laptop and NUC would get fast.com and
speedtest.net download speeds of ~16Mbps for about 30 minutes then
tank to maybe 150kbps after that until the Linksys radio was disabled
then renabled, or just rebooted. The same thing happens when flashed
with openwrt except it only takes 5 minutes to manifest.
I assumed it was a bad radio on the WRT600N or maybe it's some
hardware incompatibility with the local APs. I went down the road of
multihoming (in previous emails I was sorting out how to get wireless
routed by default for internet and wired for local stuff.)
Well get this. The Apple laptop wireless always gets 16Mbps, it never
tanks. The Intel NUC does the same thing as the WRT600N. It gets
16Mbps for 5-10 minutes, then implodes until I do a 'nmcli c down'
followed by 'nmcli c up' sort of thing, and then it gets good
bandwidth.
So WTF?
I just noticed this odd duck behavior:
# sudo journalctl -b | grep AssocResp
laptop fedora 24 (same results with fedora 23)
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/378329/
intel NUC
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/378331/
The Apple laptop wireless is bouncing between two APs exactly two
minutes apart all the time. This is constant over weeks. But the Intel
NUC doesn't do that, it pretty much sticks with one AP for hours at a
time. All three devices are within 2 meters of each other. I have no
idea where these APs are.
Whatever is causing the Apple wifi card to go back and forth between
two APs is somehow acting like a disconnect/reconnect "fix" that I've
been doing manually with the WRT600N and NUC, which uses an Intel 3165
wireless card. Where the other two persist in holding on to an AP
where the performance has face planted.
My Motorola Android phone also doesn't have the problem.
Maybe this is enough information to forward to the IT folks who manage
this wifi setup? Is there anything else I should provide? Or some way
of making this write up more concise?
iwlist gets me this
Cell 01 - Address: B4:C7:99:ED:F8:A8
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
Quality=46/70 Signal level=-64 dBm
Cell 02 - Address: B4:C7:99:EE:25:08
Channel:1
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Quality=60/70 Signal level=-50 dBm
Cell 08 - Address: B4:C7:99:ED:F0:C8
Channel:1
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Quality=30/70 Signal level=-80 dBm
I have no idea why anything would pick cell 08 with that kind of
signal, but bloop there it is.
I don't think this is an 802.11g vs n issue. The WRT600N does n on
dd-wrt, but only bg on openwrt. The Apple wireless is not using
proprietary driver, so 802.11n isn't supported, only bg. The Intel NUC
supports n as well as many others.
Thanks,

F23 KDE stability issues
by CLOSE Dave
I'll be the first to admit that I don't use Fedora in a conventional
way. But it suits me -- or it did until things started misbehaving a few
weeks ago. Now I'm finally disgusted enough to write some notes and hope
for good advice.
I run F23 with the KDE desktop in what used to be called runlevel 3. I
delete rhgb and quiet from /etc/default/grub and start X using startx
because I like to see what happens during boot. I hate systems that try
to hide what is really happening. Once KDE is running, I use eight
desktops with several windows on each one, most of them XTerms with
active SSH sessions to other machines. When I leave my desk, I lock the
screen but I disable locking based on inactivity. As long as this works,
I'm happy.
But it doesn't work reliably for the last few weeks. If I'm away from my
desk for more than a few minutes, the lock screen is frozen when I
return. I can't unlock. I can switch to a different virtual terminal and
kill X, but if I then try to restart X using startx again, it doesn't
come up properly. No windows appear, no panels, and neither the keyboard
nor the mouse do anything except move the cursor. I have to fall back to
rebooting.
When I reboot and startx again, things start up as they should. Except
that all my previous windows are on the first desktop, overlapping like
crazy. Moving them where they should be is very annoying and tedious. I
have to do this at least once per day, sometimes more often. It's not
just a matter of rearranging the windows, I also have to re-establish
all the SSH sessions. And, of course, any active commands that were
running were terminated so I may have some clean-up to do, also.
My machine is completely up-to-date with the latest Fedora. Even the
kernel is up-to-date due to the frequent reboots. The F23 was not an
upgrade, it was originally installed fresh using the workstation image
(but choosing KDE, not Gnome).

How to set video resolution permanently in Fedora 22?
by David Aldrich
Hi
I want my Fedora 22 box to run at a video resolution of 1680x1050.
I added and selected that resolution by doing:
$ xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
$ xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00
$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050_60.00
That worked, but when I reboot the resolution reverts to 1280x1024.
I tried creating file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf
and putting in it:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VGA-0"
Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050_60.00"
EndSection
but that had no effect (perhaps because the resolution was not found after the reboot).
How can I set the resolution to 1680x1050 permanently?
Best regards
David

Anaconda doesn't recognize the storage device in LXDE spin
by Kalpa Welivitigoda
Hi all,
I was trying LXDE 24 spin pre release yesterday with a live image made with
unetbooting, it booted without no issues. But when I try to install to
disk, in the storage device recognizing phase, it says "probing for storage
device" (I am not sure about the exact wording though) and nothing happens
after that (I waited for like 20 minutes).
Have we come across a similar issue? Any solution or a workaround?

[OT] Apache/PHP question or resource
by Ed Greshko
Running an instance of httpd and the /var/www/html directory has an index.php file.
If I go to http://localhost the page appears to render properly and when I hover over
certain areas a drop-down menu appears and I can see the corresponding URL showing in the
lower part of my browser.
However, when I click on any of these nothing changes. It appears that index.php is being
served up.
Also, even if I enter the URL of one of the links I get only index.php.
In the access log I see....
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2016:16:09:22 +0800] "GET /index.php?action=intro&lang=en&id=162
HTTP/1.1" 200 6598 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36"
and no errors.
Ideas of what I'm doing wrong OR a better place to ask this question.

unable to copy&paste between VirtualBox Windows7 host and Fedora23
VirtualBox guest
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hi;
unable to copy&paste between VirtualBox Windows7 host and Fedora23
VirtualBox guest
1. I have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on the Fedora 23
VirtualBox Guest;
2. I have bidirectional copy and paste enabled in VirtualBox for the
Fedora 23 VirtualBox Guest;
3. copy&paste does not work either way;
I have a Debian Jessie VirtualBox Guest on this same VirtualBox
WIndows 7 host where bidirectional copy&paste works just fine.
I have already requested assistance on the VirtualBox mailing list.
The first tip was to verify that copy&paste was actually enabled by
running VBoxManage:
cd /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox
./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo trombone | grep 'Drag and drop'
Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional
./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo bassoon | grep 'Drag and drop'
Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional
[trombone is Debian Jessie and bassoon is Fedora 23]
The second tip was to to look at https://goo.gl/6PtJtE which I'm still
trying to grok.
Does anyone have any additional tips?
Thanks,

Accessing windows shared files from Fedora
by Junayeed Ahnaf
Hello,
I have a windows 10 system from where I shared some files, I can access those files from my windows 10 on the laptop I have fedora 23 installed on. But from Fedora if I try to access those files it is asking me for a password, which I did not set.
I tried every password I know, but I can't get the username, workgroup and password right to go through. What am I doing wrong ?

NetworkManager, using two networks simultaneously
by Chris Murphy
Hi,
How do I tell NetworkManager to default to wireless? The environment
I'm in provides internet only via wireless, so that needs to be the
default route, if that's the proper term. Right now it's defaulting to
wired and since there's no internet via that route, the web browser
hangs.
I would have though for wired, setting "Use this connection only for
resources on its network" would do that, but it doesn't.
Thanks,
