We're supplying Vagrant boxes that work with KVM or VirtualBox, so users on Fedora will be able to easily consume the Vagrant images with KVM, and users on Mac OS X or Windows can use the VirtualBox image. • Tunir: A new, lightweight Continuous Integration (CI) tool for rapid testing of cloud images.

Libinput buttonless touchpad
Hi, does anybody tried to run buttonless touchpad with libinput? I've downloaded libinput 0.12 and all rebuilt dependencies from Rawhide to Branched and configured X with following: Section "InputClass" MatchDriver "libinput" Option "Tapping" "on" Option "ClickMethod" "buttonareas" EndSection But I still don't have working right mouse area on touchpad. Left mouse is working since all touchpad area is clickable. Any hints to get it working?

VLC player F22 RC3
Hi, in F21 I installed the VLC player according to the code given in the VLC home page: su - rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm yum install vlc It was a little bit tricky, as I remember for installation in F21 I had to remove the F21 rpmfusion and install the F20 rpmfusion - I hope I remember correctly. In F22 RC3 Workstation x86_64, so far I have no success, possibly I have to wait for Beta, I don't know. Has anyone tried to install the VLC player on F22 RC3? Installed by the procedure to install VLC above is now rpmfusion-free-release 20-1, nothing of F22 on a fresh system, immediately after new installation (I didn't find rpmfusion for F22 in my new installed system) The VLC installation log I got is the following: [root@linux joerg]# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm Empfange http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm Warnung: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.VVsKJq: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, Schlüssel-ID ae688223: NOKEY Vorbereiten...# [100%] Aktualisierung/ Installation... 1:rpmfusion-free-release-20-1 # [100%] [root@linux joerg]# yum install vlc One of the configured repositories failed (RPM Fusion for Fedora 22 - Free), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable rpmfusion-free 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rpmfusion-free.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free/22/x86_64 [root@linux joerg]# Has anyone an idea?

Screensaver in KDE/Plasma 5
I am running what I think is an updated F22 system, and as far as I can tell, I have screen saver turned off. But if I am away, for not sure how long it takes, my workstation goes to a screen for me to enter my password to get back to my desktop. I don't want that, not any screensavers nor anything. I want it to always stay on. I also went through power management to make sure it was off there as well. I did all the normal things I would do when had previous versions, Fedora 21 and below, and they never did this once I configured it.
