I updated one system and switched from the nVidia drivers back to nouveau.  
Basically
things run well, that is unless you want to view mp4 videos using things like 
vlc or
mplayer.  Those packages are available from updates-testing of rpmfusion but 
when you run
them you get only audio and this error message.

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nouveau.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such
file or directory
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1

That system is pretty much a test system.  At the moment I've no plans to 
upgrade my
"work" to F23 unless things get resolved or I decide to go through the exercise 
of
downgrading Xorg server.

In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay 
away from
computers altogether.

Looked into this, it does seem like mock is the answer. The only gotcha I  
see to this approach would be if the newer release's compiler/support  
libraries require code changes to the packages being bootstrapped.


The iterative cycle of trying a mock build, then figuring out what broke,  
fixing the code, and then launching a mock build again – based on  
experience, I'd say this will be much slower than just installing the new  
release, and then figuring out what's going on, in a live environment.


Life on the bleeding edge is much more exciting. And fast-paced.

Not sure is this is the same or different issue. With my old Lenovo R60 laptop 
with Fedora 22, it has been working with the 4.2.3 kernel, but the new 4.2.5 
has the boot menu come up, but after selecting it, a couple of lines flash on 
the screen, and then the screen goes out completely black. Can select the 
previous kernel. Currently in PI, was suppose to be in Bali for Harley 
Davidson conventions but got on plane, and had to get off after volcano, so 
stuck in an unplanned hotel with 10 others from Guam making the trip. 
Internet is ok, but just haven't had time to read all the fedora list messages, 
Not getting updates on what status is, but latest is the airport will be opned 
today finally, and we will get out tonight to get the last day of convention.

Rhythmbox F23 goes wacky

2015-11-05 Thread SternData

Before I bugzilla it, is anyone else seeing this?

Please see
http://imgur.com/rJYUlzt

From time to time, since upgrading to F23, Rhythmbox gets very confused 
about where it is on a track, shows a VERY LARGE falue from the current 
position, and stops playing.


When I close it with the X, the window goes away, but rhythmbox itself 
doesn't.  I have to kill it from a terminal session.

Gnome file (Nautilus): mounted disk and other location

2015-11-05 Thread Dario Lesca
The '+' left to "Other location" in left panel of nautilus 3.18.1 do
not open the tree within mounted disk and other location.

In this manner, the mounted disk are not immediately visible, must
click on "other location" to see them on right panel.

It's possible to restore previous direct view, with mounted disk always
visible into left panel of nautilus?

Many thanks

Fedora is killing me with video

2015-11-05 Thread Tom Horsley
First this stupid bug crops up in 4.2 kernels and pulls a
gauze film over my screen at home where I use Intel
graphics and a Samsung TV as a display:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92206

I can work around this by using the old 4.1 kernel
in fedora 22, but there is no 4.1 kernel for
fedora 23.

Then in Fedora 23 at work, I can't use the nvidia
binary drivers because fedora shipped a beta
version of the X server, and I can't use nouveau
because it will only work on maxwell cards when
nvidia gives nouveau some way to distribute and
load the firmware required. So I have to force
vesa mode (which is not very useful on a UHD monitor :-).

It is looking like it will be a long time before
I can actually run fedora 23 by default both at
home and at work...

If your packages are allowed in Fedora, Fedora account holders can use
COPR: Cool Other Packages Repository [1]. People use this for testing
latest upstream (git) versions, or where they don't feel they have the
time to officially develop a package and become a Fedora package
maintainer.

Here you can submit either a .src.rpm URL, or upload same from the
COPR web interface. You can then request to build against
current/devel Fedora versions. The rpms are the output, but it also
does createrepo that you can enable in dnf.

Other than that, mock is the answer, and what Fedora packagers use to
test build packages for any version.

Dave.

F23 KDE instant message client problems

2015-11-05 Thread Barry Scott
After the F22 update I found that the instant messages (IM) client build into 
KDE stopped being able to log me in to google hangouts.

I use the settings online accounts to authorize the IM. But it still
reported auth problems.

Then I deleted everything in .config and .local to do with
telepathy (seems to have telepathy and ktelepathy naming of
files and folders).

I then get told that I need to "Configure Now..." by the IM client.
But adding an account via the settings online accounts does
not make the IM client happy. It still thinks its not configured.

May be I messed up the config? No problem I'll add a new user
to the system and use that fresh account to test IM.

The fresh account has the same problem.

IM client claims no config.
Configure successfully using online accounts
IM client still clains no config.

Anyone else seen this problem?

Anyone know of a work around?

Barry

Re: How can I copy photos from Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?

You'll need something like simple-mtpfs (available from the repos) to
mount the phone/tablet as a disk drive, then navigate through that
mountpoint to find where the stuff is. I use it for my S5 phone.

 From that point on, it's up to you to do what you will.


My system is Gnome DT and "gvfs-mtp" is installed. I can see the phones
files in /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C008%5D/.
The problem I am having is that I can't use "cp -a
 " or "rsync -av
 ". I can only use Gnome filer
manager to copy the file from the phone to the computer.

I have installed simple-mtpfs and tried to mount the phones file system
to local directory without success.

What is the problem? I can't see it :-)


First off, you need to see which devices MTP sees:

[rick@prophead ~]$ simple-mtpfs -l
1: SamsungGalaxy models (MTP)

In my case, just my Galaxy S5.

Next, make sure you have write privileges on the mountpoint you want. I
just created a mountpoint in my home directory for testing:

[rick@prophead ~]$ mkdir tstmnt

Next, I mounted my phone there:

[rick@prophead ~]$ simple-mtpfs --device 1 tstmnt

To verify it, I checked what's mounted (I've stripped out irrelevant
stuff from the following list):

[rick@prophead ~]$ mount
...
	simple-mtpfs on /home/rick/tstmnt type fuse.simple-mtpfs 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)

...

And getting a listing of what's mounted there:

[rick@prophead ~]$ ls -l tstmnt
total 0
drwxrwxr-x. 2 rick rick 0 Dec 31  1969 Card
drwxrwxr-x. 2 rick rick 0 Dec 31  1969 Phone

So, there's a "Card" directory (the SD card in my phone) and a "Phone"
directory (the internal phone storage). I LOVE the fact that the dates
shown are pre-Unix epoch! Cute, eh? (For reference, the Unix epoch
started at 00:00:00.00, January 1, 1970 UTC). I thought Android was
Linux based. :-)

To unmount, just use the normal umount command, but you need to be root
to do it:

[rick@prophead ~]$ sudo umount ~rick/tstmnt

Voila!

There are ways to make this happen automagically by buggering some udev
rules and such, but I've not done it.

No clue. but if you can't get it working, you might try enabling
the two-finger scroll, which supports both horiz and vert. At least
on the systems I've tried it on (not the same as yours).


Thanks Fred. The two-finger scroll works fine both ways but I prefer the

I'm not sure what release you're on... On 22 and 23, you'll see Wayland 
on tty1 and your session on some higher numbered tty.  Take a look at

*is* a pre-release. I guess downgrading might cure the problem, but 
how?


Any advice from the wise persons on this list would be greatly 
appreciated.



Are you using VirtualBox from the virtualbox repos or from rpmfusion? 
I'm using the VirtualBox repo version (Oracle version) and it's 
working for me.
I am using the VBox repo version as well (to be precise: 
VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.8_103449_fedora22-1.x86_64).


FWIW, I found how to downgrade X.Org-server to version 1.17 here:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=306929

It's just:
# dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade 
xorg-x11-server-Xorg
After doing so and manually installing the VBox Additions again, they 
work as expected.

Duplicated Xorg

2015-11-05 Thread Pal, Laszlo
Hi,

I don't know why but recently on my Thinkpad T430 I'm always having two
xorg running. Originally I used it with optimus, so I thought this is the
reason, but now I've switched to discrete graphics but I still having one
xorg on vt1 and another on vt3. How can I get rid of this?

Pretty obvious once I thought about it.

I just removed the English US from the Input Sources under "Region &

Even though I deselected it in Anaconda during the install it was installed
anyway.

Keyboard Layout Panel Indicator

With the installation of F23 I now have an indicator/applet in the top
panel allows switching between languages and altering the keyboard layout.
I have no need or want of that indicator.

How can I get rid of it, permanently?

Constant Web Authentication Redirect

2015-11-05 Thread David Burgess
Since I installed Fedora 23 Workstation (clean not an upgrade) every time I
log in or restart gnome-shell I get a "Web Authentication Redirect" web
page pop up and I am connected to a Gnome Project web page.

I'm not leaving a web browser running when I log out so it's not a web
session trying to resume.

How can I stop this behaviour?

Upgrade F22 to F23

2015-11-05 Thread Ger van Dijck

Hello Fedora world,

I did an upgrade f22 to f23 and it went wrong : dnf upgrade was succesfull  
, install plugin dnf was succesfull ,upgrade and download releaseaver 23  
was succesfull , but with system upgrade and reboot something went wrong :  
I think that in the middle of the cleanup the system went down.


So I did a retry : dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 ; Answer  
Error cannot remove systemd and dnf protected packages.


When trying dnf system-upgrade reboot ; Answer System not ready for  
upgrade.



Is there a way to repair this , or can it only resolved by a fresh install  
?




Thanks for answering , kind regards,


Ger van Dijck.

The way I go about this sort of behaviour is a local httpd instance I fire
up as a local repo.

My own packages I use mock to build for the new version (heck I've gotten
into the habit of using mock for any package building). Then when
everything is built correctly pop in a repo that dnf system-upgrade can
pick up.

No broken dependencies and everything tested to ensure it builds properly
before the upgrade.

"gnome-control-center online-accounts" generates an X error and doesn't

This means that Evolution will not work with Gmail accounts for the time

Dnf does not allow ignoring the broken dependencies. So there is no way to
do updates in the old way using dnf.

Thanks, that's good to know. I think I'll stick with Nouveau for the time
being as it's now working acceptably (I had forgotten to remove all the
Nvidia stuff, which apparently is the only reasonable way to get Nouveau to
activate correctly). Hopefully the new Nvidia drivers will be out soon.

I downgraded Xorg to 1.17 and installed the 352.55 driver from Nvidia.  So
far it's pretty stable in this setup.  Just have to keep an eye out for the
Nvidia drivers to catch up and to not update Xorg until then.


How exactly did you do the downgrade? I tried by removing xorg-* and
running dnf install xorg* with --releasever=22, followed by dnf downgrade,

I had removed all nvidia packages before I ran that.  After I got Xorg 
downgraded to 1.17 I ran the installer package for the Nvidia driver 
that I downloaded from www.geforce.com/drivers


My system is stable in that config, so I didn't try to get a kmod or

This just in: updating to kernel 4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64 has fixed the btrfs

Now I just have to struggle with Nouveau settings to get decent screen

My system is Gnome DT and "gvfs-mtp" is installed. I can see the phones
files in /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C008%5D/.
The problem I am having is that I can't use "cp -a
 " or "rsync -av
 ". I can only use Gnome filer
manager to copy the file from the phone to the computer.

I have installed simple-mtpfs and tried to mount the phones file system
to local directory without success.

What is the problem? I can't see it :-)
