mate autologin
Hi all, I'm using Fedora 23 with mate and trying to setup autologin. I edited a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and uncommented lines autologin-user=pasha autologin-user-timeout=0 but after boot, I still get a login window. I also tried to uncomment pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin then after boot, I got login window with message "Unable to authenticate" over it. Any ideas where else to look?

How to install MATE on fedora workstation
Hi, I installed fedora 21 workstation, and trying to install MATE desktop on it. Command "yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"" attempts to resolve dependencies and fails with conflict between fedora-release-workstation and fedora-release-nonproduct. So, is it possible to install MATE on workstation, or it is GNOME only now? Thanks. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

mount --move doesn't work
Hi, I'm trying to understand how mount --move can be used. Whenever I use it, I get an error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock..." for example (something I found that supposed to work): mkdir foo bar mount --bind foo foo mount --move foo bar mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on foo, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so What is wrong with it?

Re: Can anyone recommend a good video editing tool?
You can also try pitivi from fedora repositories - it doesn't have many of the features openshot and kdenlive have, but it is good enough for simple editing. Also, if you choose avidemux, don't use gtk frontend - in my experience, it is buggy as hell, while qt frontend is much more stable.

The problem is that drive is mounted exclusively for user owning the session, so it is accessible only by that user or root. But ,for example, virtual machines that run by default as 'qemu' user, have no access to that drive, so for example I can't boot them with CD image located on that drive. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Make external hard drive accessible to all users
F17 introduced a change to how external drives are mounted. They are mounted now exclusively to a logged on user.

In that case, gnome shell defaults to power off. But on real boxes which support suspend (or at least claim to support it), suspend is the default and you need to hold "Alt" to power off. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Try to check if any of the applets you use somehow expanded itself to fill all available space of the panel. Also, can you create launcher on second panel?

It really depends. I do recompile newest versions for some packages, when it does not require too much to be updated. Specifically, wine does not break anything else, but the fact that 32-bit packages can't be build in the same way as 64-bit packages makes thing to be more complicated. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

You know, there is a tiny group of people called users, that supposes that in 21st century they may expect OS to be actually usable even with such distribution as Fedora, without having to run alphas, betas and previews.

It requires that not know PW evolution looks for password to unlock default keyring, where it (and most Gnome apps) store passwords. Usually, on fresh installation, when some application tries to store password for the first time, it asks you to create password for default keyring. You can try running keyring manager (seahorse in command line) to see if keyring was created. If it exists and you don't know password for it, you can delete it (you will lose any saved passwords, of course) and it should be recreated when evolution tries to save password again. To shutdown, click your user name in right top corner of the screen, then hold 'Alt' button. Suspend menu item will change to shutdown. There are some extensions that make shutdown menu item permanently visible, just search this archive for it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Gnome shell and NVidia binary drivers
I'm running F15 on Dell Latitude D620 Laptop with NVidia NVS 110M video card. So far I used it with nouveau drivers and while it ran fairly well, I experienced sometimes glitches - screen becoming white or otherwise unreadable. So, I tried to install NVidia drivers from RPMFusion. After log in, gnome shell draws its top bar, but after that it simply stops drawing anything on screen. If I launch terminal, I can see that mouse pointer changes when it goes in and out of terminal window, but window itself can not be seen. After sometime it displays "sad terminal" icon with a message "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again". Are NVidia drivers supported by Gnome 3? Should I file bug for this?

I connect to internet using PPPoE, and, till now, I used "old" network configuration (and disabled network manager) to setup a static IP address and PPPoE connection, and then used masquerading to share connection to other computers on the network. In F15 I can't find a way to make such configuration and also can't find an option in NM to enable connection sharing for DSL connection. Is there anything I'm missing? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
