You're pointing out the same thing I was wondering about when I read
about this kickstart mechanism: We don't want to configure password
policies in two places - thats only going to lead to anaconda
disagreeing with the installed system.

I think the difference of opinion is only about the enforcement part.
If pwquality gives us useful information about that quality of the
password then we absolutely show that to the user and help her to come
up with a better password.

minimum F22/F23 installation requirements
by Felix Miata
Is there a list anywhere of what packages are required to get any session to
proceed beyond crash notices? Out of more than a dozen, probably more than
twice that, of F22 & Rawhide installations, I've only ever seen what KF
desktop looks like on one, and that on the slowest system on which I have
either installed, an Athlon XP 2000+.
I'm not interested in having anything more than the bare minimum, plus
Konsole, Konq, Kmix and Ksnapshot. The only "k" groupinstall I"ve found,
kde-desktop', wants to add 362 packages to the 112 KDE/KDF packages already
installed, among them bluedevil, bluez, kamera, kdegames-minimal, kmail,
kontact, multiple NetworkManager leaves, dmraid, firewalld, ghostscript,
bazillions of python*, speech-dispatcher, lvm2 and many other packages, all
inconsistent with minimalism, and unlikely that I'd ever use on purpose.
On the latest, I left the screen just sitting after closing the crash
windows. Eventually the locker tried to start, so now my screen's center is
covered with illegible (text in some tiny fraction of what I can see without
a magnifier) syslogd messages. Switching to a tty to login, I get a
continuous flood of syslogd messages about the locker that makes killing
startkde tough.

Time on systray lags
by Ed Greshko
Running F22 Beta-TC3 and I noticed something odd.
The digital clock on the systay can lag what is displayed via the "date" command by several seconds. I've observed a lag of 12 seconds. Since I'm frequently rebooting for testing I don't know if the lag will increase.
Strange thing, if I configure the digital clock to show seconds there is no lag.
Is anyone else seeing this?
What component would be appropriate for the bugzilla I think is needed.

Desktop Themes and Plasma 5
by Ed Greshko
Running F22 BTC3 and it seems as if the only Desktop Themes which allows the Network widgets to display properly are either Breeze or Air. Is it safe to assume that is due to the Oxygen theme, for one, being designed for KDE4?
I've not tried to install the old Workspaces on F22, but think that can be done, but I'm wonder if there is any way to prevent themes not known to work properly, or known to not work properly, in Plasma 5 being listed as available for use?
Also, in System Settings, under Appearance there is a "Look and Feel" but only "Breeze" is available and no way to add more selections. Is this by design?

balloo/dolphin search for comments ?
by Richard Z
Hi,
it used to be possible in F21 to search not only tags but
also file comments with the dolphin interface - this does
not work for me anymore.
Is this a known problem? Any known workaround?

Plasma 5 questions
by Glenn Holmer
Questions about Plasma 5 in the 22 alhpa:
1) I can't figure out how to set up konsole so that the terminal window
has the same size every time I open it, even if I resized it before
closing it on the previous run. I was able to do this in Plasma 4.
2) Ctrl-space is broken in konsole (e.g. emacs set mark), although it
works in other places (e.g. NetBeans code completion). This works in the
Ubuntu Plasma 5 pre-release; does that mean that they fixed it
themselves rather than in upstream?
3) In System Settings, under Startup and Shutdown, I've set Desktop
Session to "Restore manually saved session". Where is the option to
manually save a session? In Plasma 4, it would appear in the 'K' menu
once you had selected this.
4) When I right-click the 'K' menu and select Edit Applications, nothing
happens. Known issue?

Re: Network icons documented?
by Rex Dieter
Interestingly, it's not in comps, and the only deps in the distro are:
repoquery --whatrequires NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora
fedora-release-workstation-0:22-0.13.noarch
gnome-shell-0:3.15.91-1.fc22.x86_64
So looks like workstation really wants this (and apparently no one else).

Network icons documented?
by Ed Greshko
Running F21 and KDE4. I just noticed, maybe after an update, that the network icon on the systray is different than it was before. On the right side is a little yellow marker and I've no idea what it should mean.
Is there information somewhere telling people possibilities?
