local repository

[arnaud gaboury]

I have some rpm packages I have built myself. I need to create a local
repo in order to reference these packages and solve dependency issues.

What I did:
- put all my .rpm in one folder
- # createrepo /my/path/to/rpm

The last command create and populate a subdir repodata

then:
# dnf config-manager --add-repo file:///my/path/to/rpm

It added a file in /etc/yum.repo.d:

name=created by dnf config-manager from file:///storage/development/rpm/
baseurl=file:///storage/development/rpm/
enabled=1
---

% dnf repolist
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'storage_development_rpm_' from

There is no surprise as it is a local sqlite DB (as far as I understood).

How shall I solve this issue without setting a http/ftp service ?

It can handle local repo's fine so that's not your problem. I basically do
the same thing but I put mine in /var/local/packages/$releasever

I would check permissions instead although I've never used the dnf addrepo
command, I wrote my own .repo file.

Thanks,
Richard

Even after 10 years of Linux, permissions are still part of my isues (with
typo). My rpm packages were owned by me. changed onwer to root:root, rerun
create repo, and then:

Re: MP4 video on F23

[Mark Haney]

I had a similar problem and I think I had to install the x264 libraries to
make it work, but I'm not certain what I did to get it working on my F23
system.

The package description for that says it's an "encoder", not a decoder.

VLC doesn't even use GStreamer, afaik.

This will become a growing problem for more users, too. What you show is a
wild mix of packages for two independent GStreamer versions. The packages
with prefix gstreamer1-* are for GStreamer v1.x, those with gstreamer-
prefix are for the older GStreamer 0.10.x. Better check which version
of GStreamer your audio/video players really need.

dnf system-upgrade reboot problem

[Gary Artim]

my server is stuck i did:

dnf system-upgrade download --release=23
dnf system-upgrade reboot

now the last message i get on console is:
started rolekit - role server

Don't get the usual, updating various packages...tried reboot into recovery
mode and it just does the same, can seem to get it to forget the upgrade
now. Is there a switch or setting to start over?

any help would be great, last resort is to reinstall fc23.

thanks!

MP4 video on F23

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

Since updating to F23 I've been unable to view MP4 videos (mostly H264
encoded). I know this is a proprietary format but it's what's out there
and what people tend to send when sharing in emails (from non-Linux
machines as a rule). The message from vlc (for example) is:

Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))

Usually the audio track is supported and plays, but no picture.

No doubt the answer is going to be "install gstreamer-ugly-whatever"
from RPMfusion, but I've done all that and still nothing. I didn't have
this problem under F22 (or earlier) so I have to wonder if something
hasn't been updated, but anyone with a solution is welcome to comment.

Issues with install F23 MATE desktop

[Chris Adams]

I have a brand-new Dell Precision workstation, on which I'm trying to
install Fedora 23 (with my preferred desktop environment, MATE), which
is turning into the most frustrating Linux install I've experienced in a
long time (and I've been using Linux since before Red Hat existed).

I started with Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23 on a thumb drive.  I
booted, selected automatic partitioning and MATE, and it started
downloading RPMs.  When it finished downloading, it rebooted.
Apparently, there's a conflict between release and updates on who owns
/etc/xdg/menus/mate-preferences-categoris.menu, and anaconda just
crashes and reboots (not even a traceback) on an install transaction
failure.

After a few passes through that before I figured out anaconda was not
going to install MATE (with frustrating waits for downloads each time),
I gave up and did a minimal install.  Then I did a dnf groupinstall
MATE, and that downloaded all the RPMs, then gave me the error about the
file conflict.  I tried to exclude one of the choices, use --best, etc.,
and nothing would solve it.

Also, when "dnf groupinstall foo" is run, even if it fails, dnf then
thinks the group is installed (and so a repeated groupinstall does
nothing).  I had to do a groupremove first.

I just manually installed the RPMs from the dnf cache to get around the
MATE brokenness, and then got systemd to do a graphical boot.

Now, when I get to the graphical login, my USB is dead.  I can boot
single-user mode and the keyboard works fine; as soon as the graphical
login loads, USB appears dead (keyabord is like it is powered off, no
Numlock, Capslock, etc.).  Tried unplugging keyboard, moving it to
different USB ports (directly on the computer instead of hub), etc. with
no result.  The fact that the keyboard works in single-user mode shows
there's no hardware problem, Linux USB issue, etc.

At this point, I guess I'll roll back and try Fedora 22.  If I ever get
a working desktop, I'll try to file some bugs I guess.  I found a BZ
about anaconda that appears to match my problem (1287841).  That doesn't
explain the MATE conflicts in the repos, dnf groupinstall fail, or
disappearing USB though.

I had this very same problem and the only solution I found after

Sorry, but this is bad advice - Linux/Fedora is not Windows.

Reinstalling the distro because some arbitrary program (here: vlc) or a 
library (here: x264) doesn't work/malfunction, is *never* required.

True. I mentioned gstreamer as an example. VLC uses a bunch of other
libraries, but still doesn't work with MP4.

As I said, VLC doesn't need it, but doesn't work. In any case, I've
removed all the older gstreamer packages and nothing protested, so
presumably they were unneeded.

Just for fun, a long time ago I did a minimal install and notice this, on
single-user mode keyboard and mouse seems to not work, and also I make a
mistake by setting as default graphical instead of multi-user, then when
the computer reboots I was not able even to poweroff the computer.

On single-user mode do a search for a package "libinput" or something like
"xorg-libinput", also search for something like "xorg-xkb", not sure but
once of this make the trick. Install one by one and see which of them fix
the problem.

Do not set graphical mode as default, because if this don't solve the
problem you will not able to do something else, always run a startx fron
single user session to see if the keyboard is working on graphical login.
Also install a login, lightdm is the default for Mate, in case it is not
already installed.

Seems like a weak/bad dependency solving from a "not yet a production
software, buggy and experimental"... dnf. Recently a friend faced the same
proble when he did a minimal install.

Throwing out your computer and buying another one would also have
worked :-)

Seriously, it is sometimes easier just to reinstall everything, but
it's almost never necessary, and if you do it you'll probably never
know what actually went wrong.

Yeah, if there's a conflict between packages that are all dependencies,
no flags will help. The RPMs need to be fixed.

This, and the above, probably needs to be brought up with the MATE
Compiz spin team, and possibly MATE upstream. The spins page gives
#fedora-mate as a place to talk with the developers (as well as this
list, although I'm not sure I've seen the developers active here).

If you are using the gmail app from android is pretty easy to respond in
line and to quote text, just do that, make sure that when replying, down is
a check box that say "quote text" and next to it and option that say
"respond in line", then make sure to comment below the paragraf you are
refering on.

Also, avoid respond in html style, instead of it try to use plain text.

This keeps readability ;)

I run mplayer, and have no issues with mp4.  Have you tried an install
of mplayer and ffmpeg from rpmfusion?  They might even pull in the
dependency that seems to be missing for vlc with their install, and
then vlc will work as well.

I *have* had this exact issue intermittently with firefox playing mp4
videos on vimeo, even when it works on mp4s elsewhere.  I suspect that
is a problem with their player or feed, though, not with my setup.

I'm on a cellphone. The way this browser quotes is kinda messy. That's
why I don't quote.
Besides, I think the problem was in the mix of repositories. But I
couldn't fix it. That's why I decided to install from zero.
BTW, I never used windows myself. My first computer came with Linux

I haven't run this upgrade, and I'm not familiar with it beyond
reading the mailing list.  So, this advice is very 'any help'.  There
should be a directory somewhere, with a switch set that tells the
system to do the upgrade reboot instead of a normal reboot.  It used to
be in /boot/.  Removing that directory would revert to a normal boot.

You could also edit the restart / reboot by adding noquiet to the
kernel boot line, so you can see boot messages.  I don't think it
is possible to look at journalctl to see what happened in this case,
but I could be wrong.  Maybe if you booted a rescue disk, and mounted
the root filesystem, and pointed journalctl at the file, it would work.

I did not find your problem in either the upgrade instructions, or on
fedora bugzilla, so we can name it after its discoverer, dnfis
artimus.  The problems I did find about rolekit mostly seemed concerned
with SElinux, so you might also add an enforcing=0 to the boot line if
you go that route.

You need someone a lot more knowledgeable than me helping you, though.
These are just stabs in the dark.

mplayer also doesn't use GStreamer. See "rpm -qR mplayer|less" for many
libraries it depends on, just not GStreamer.

This bottom part of the list is even weirder, as these are language-bindings
for programming languages other than C (to use GStreamer from programs
written in those other languages).

It seems you've chosen to "install everything that has 'gstreamer' in
its package name", even if that installs packages you don't need.

If installing vlc, mplayer, ffmpeg or other programs, dependencies should
really pull in everything that's needed. And in case there are optional
runtime requirements, if the documentation doesn't mention them, consider
reporting that as a problem.

Re: dnf system-upgrade reboot problem

[Gary Artim]

found if I remove quiet and and boot with rd.break on the linux line of my
boot config I can get at the file that you're talking about, but have to
umount /sysroot then mount -w /dev/sda2 /sysroot (sdx would change if
diff). the file can then be removed. I tried redoing the process and it
hung every time. strange, I've done about 8 systems this way flawlessly. g.

vlc, mplayer, mpv and ffmpeg all report no problems when run against
"rpm -V", however the last three do report a missing library with ldd:

[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mpv|grep "not found"
libvo-aacenc.so.0 => not found
[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mplayer|grep "not found"
libvo-aacenc.so.0 => not found
[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/vlc|grep "not found"
[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg|grep "not found"
libvo-aacenc.so.0 => not found

Looks like a library for AAC-encoded files. This might be the problem,
except that vlc doesn't use that library and still doesn't work.

"dnf search libvo-aacenc" gives nothing.

It's a hardware acceleration/codec problem. Can you try changing

I am using VA-API video decoder via DRM for example.

xfce without a mouse

[Chris Murphy]

Hi,

So I have only a bluetooth mouse, and GNOME lets me navigate by
keyboard only to get to Settings well enough I can then pair with the
mouse. I can't figure out how to do this at all on xfce (granted this
is Fedora 20 because that's the build Intel is using for their CPU
diagnostic tool).

Any suggestions?

Re: xfce without a mouse

[Chris Murphy]

This is what I'm working on, for reference:
http://www.tcsscreening.com/files/users/IPDT_LiveUSB/index.html

OK so from CLI I figured out how to use bluetoothctl to power on
bluetooth, scan, pair, trust, then connect. That all worked, and I was
able to navigate... with a very spastic mouse arrow.

I can't find this IPDT anywhere, just an Install to HD icon. I click
on that and it's Anaconda. Apparently Intel's idea of doing a
diagnostic using Linux is to first install Linux rather than just run
the software from the live environment. As I flail the spastic mouse
arrow toward Quit, suddenly the screen status changes to the screen as
if I've clicked Begin Installation. I've entered no spokes. I've
picked no drives. I've given no permission to delete any existing
partitions.

No joke. Complete data loss on that drive.

Fortunately, all that was on the drive were a few Fedora ISOs, and new
installations of Fedora 23 Server and Workstation into separate Btrfs
subvolumes that had not been significantly customized.

And I still can't find the software... :-P The way this is described
in the URL above, is not how it behaves at all.

No, I use Opera. I need to save connection and space.
This is the best I can do for quoting as you can see below.
Or above. I don't know, I can't see it.

I've never used Opera, but I'd be very, very astonished if it didn't 
allow you to trim quoted text to what's needed only, and remove 
redundant lines such as the boilerplate that the list includes on every 
post.
