Wine installation
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I used* gnome-software* to install Wine.
Now I have on the desk top an icon of "wine" that I can launch.
If I search for wine, I have this output:
--
[angelo_user@zorro ~]$ sudo find / -iname "q4wine"
[sudo] password for angelo_user:
/usr/bin/q4wine
/usr/lib64/q4wine
/usr/share/doc/q4wine
/usr/share/q4wine
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
/home/angelo_user/.config/q4wine
----
The problem come when I use the application (when I launch wine)...
...then I get some messages of error that say the application is not
properly installed.
The first one is:
-------
Cannot find or execute the 'wine' binary. Make sure that this binary is
available by search PATH variable and see also INSTALL file for application
depends.
-------
After this messages come a wizard to help me to do the set up of Wine...
The first steps of the wizard ask me :
- wine bin:
- wine server:
- wine loader:
- wine libs ..:
I am not able to set correctly this data .... (for example wine server in
not installed).
So I am confused .. because gnome-software don't seem it made the
installation.... also gnome-software didn't get me a .rpm file to use for
the installation...
What I have to do ???
Regards
Angelo

extremely slow shell starts (trying to debug, dbus related)
by Neal Becker
On my server, after updating f20->f21, shell startup is _extremely_ slow.
Using strace, it appears that the problem is dbus
08:22:57 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL,
sun_path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 33) = 0
...
08:22:57 recvmsg(5, 0x7fff640c3970, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
08:22:57 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}])
08:23:22 recvmsg(5, {msg_name(0)=NULL,
msg_iov(1)=[{"l\3\1\0013\0\0\0\4\0\0\0m\0\0\0\6\1s\0\7\0\0\0:1.1155\0"...,
2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 179
08:23:22 write(6, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
Notice the 30second wait for a response from dbus?
Also in /var/log/messages, various dbus messages such as:
Dec 30 08:19:32 nbecker7 su: (to root) nbecker on pts/0
Dec 30 08:20:02 nbecker7 dbus[809]: [system] Connection has not authenticated
soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=30000ms, elapsed: 30004ms)
Any hints?

Fedup issues
by Robin Laing
Overall, I say that this worked pretty good.
Two machines different problems.
First machine, F20 to F21. Full procedure followed and install went
almost 100% perfect. Only issue remaining is that I have two F20
kernels listed via rpm but not when I run yum list kernel.
I removed on kernel with yum and they were all listed. Now I cannot
remove any others by yum.
I have rebuilt the rpm database
rpm --rebuilddb
On the second machine, I removed the F20 kernels from the lowest number
to the highest, one at a time.
Machine seems to work perfectly.
Machine 2.
Dual boot, Win 8.1 / Fedora.
While running fedup, is stuck at the end. Before the shutdown and
reboot. Don't know what happened but after two hours of sitting there,
I shut down.
On reboot, machine couldn't find the grubenv. I found a bug and
followed some of the instructions and now it boots.
Before I got to this point, I couldn't boot into any of the F20 kernel
listed and the rescue mode wouldn't let me mount any of the unused
partitions automatically.
I removed the old kernels using yum one at a time from the lowest
version to the latest.
Only issue that I see to have right now is that the /home/user
partitions are not mounting but fstab doesn't look like it was changed.
I will have to check pam-mount configuration.
Don't know if encryption has had anything to do with this.
Only 3 more machines to do. Two from F19 to F21. Will find out if
encryption has anything to do with this.

F21 - Huge icons
by David A. De Graaf
Icons are taking over the World! In Fedora 21, that is.
I've always been afraid that the GUI generation would eventually
make Linux completely unusable, and now they've almost succeeded. :-)
In a few F21 GUI panels the icons are grotesquely large - 1.75 inches
square on a 15 inch wide monitor. Normal size would be ~0.25 in.
This makes the panel nearly incomprehensible. This occurs in, eg,
system-config-printer
system-config-firewall
virt-manager
A screenshot is attached of virt-manager running an instance of Centos
7 on the Fedora 21 host.
[No, it's not! GUI's are OK; images of them are too big for this
list. Sigh...]
The virt-manager icons are so big that that
the virtual window cannot be enlarged to a proper size.
A possible clue to the error are the messages in the root window
following the virt-manager command:
[root@datwiz ~]
# virt-manager
[root@datwiz ~]
#
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:18: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
Similar messages appear when system-config-printer is invoked.
Unfortunately these mean nothing to me.
FWIW, I installed F20 using the wonderful Live Xfce4 images ( thank you
Kevin Fenzi ), and have completely avoided the dreaded Gnome. I've
enabled multi-user.target so that neither lightdm nor gdm can destroy
my env variables.
My questions to you all:
Does anyone see these huge icons in the example programs?
Can anyone guess the problem with the Theme?
Am I the only one with the problem? On three machines, so far?

VM access to base system files
by Robert Moskowitz
Well I got my first VM created and in it. Got Firefox installed and
adblock plugged in...
There are two things I want to do next.
First to access files in my base system. Like my real /home/me stuff.
So far my searching how to do this has come up empty.
Next I will want to set up firefox to run proxy through an SSH tunnel to
a server on my net. This is for when I am on the road to give me a
trusted connection for a number of things. But hopefully this will be a
'simple' SSH tunnel with port 80/443 proxy support.
thanks

Evolution not filtering
by Mike Chambers
In Fedora 21, using evolution-3.12.9, in KDE (maybe it happens in gnome
as well?), anyone having trouble with evolution not downloading all the
emails, via imap, as in just stops? Mine does that, and if I close it,
then open again, it shows and gets the emails. And sometimes it either
doesn't filter at all, or it does, and acts like it leaves a copy
showing in the inbox? Had no issues with the version from fedora 20 at
all.

New to building VMs. Build stalled at 597/1241
by Robert Moskowitz
I have finally buckled down to learn to make a VM.
Now I probably bit off a bit much.
I am installing from my local repo. For some reason it said this is a
test image. My netinst to this notebook did not say that. Something MAY
be left over in my repo from the beta.
I then specified the URL of my updates repo. This worked fine both on
this notebook and my Asus i386 notebook.
I then selected Xfce desktop and really a minimal set of tools, on 10Gb
storage. The install started and for the last ~2 hours it has been
sitting at 597/1241 on the install status. The message is installing yum.
I can access my repo server, though I don't see any activity on it.
I have been following the instructions at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization
And am using the GUI virutual manager.

Saving ios data -
by Bob Goodwin
Can iPhone data be saved to my Fedora-21 computer and be transferred to
another iPhone. This seems to be a common problem in this family when
they get new phones. Apparently they are putting the stuff on an iCloud
server and that raises hell with my bandwidth usage numbers ... It seems
to me it should be possible to store it locally?
