Focus-follows-mouse in KDE under FC19?
by William W. Austin
Apologies if this has been answered already but I didn't see this in
the archives and a web search didn't find anything more recent than
FC14 (and that trick didn't work under FC19)
Last week I upgraded my wife's linux box from FC17 to FC19. She uses
the KDE desktop.
Saturday she announced that she cannot live without focus-follows-
mouse.
Previously I would simply use /bin/systemsettings > Window Behavior >
Focus, and then select "focus follows mouse" - but that option has been
removed for some reason. So I spent much of the weekend trying to find
a way to restore the capability.
A friend suggested that I use gnome-tweak-tool to set Windows>Window
focus mode to "mouse." That didn't help so I tried "sloppy". Ditto -
no effect.
Is there anyway to turn this back on in FC 19 (or 20) for KDE?
Otherwise I'm going to have downgrade her machine back to FC 17 just to
keep peace at home.

Virt-Manager with MacVTap not working?
by John Obaterspok
Hello,
I've setup a VM with default networking (NAT) and this works fine but hosts
on my LAN can't get to the VM since it uses NAT.
When I try to set network to use MacVTap with either default or bridged I
get no networking for the VM.
Any hints around this? I would like to have the VM's on the same LAN as my
other machines. I don't care if the VM host can't reach the guests.

Fedora 20: Video driver related corruption of the display...
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
Have any of you seen anything like this before, and do you know how I
can go about fixing it?:
<http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/Fedora20-Screenshot-20...>
If I reboot, the corrupted elements will go back to looking like they
are supposed to.
I am running a fully updated Fedora 20, installed via fedup from Fedora
19. I am also running KDE 4.12.2 from either kde-testing or
kde-unstable.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I am running the default Nouveau driver and I
have never even attempted to install the NVidia driver on this
installation of Fedora 19 or 20.
Also, it makes no difference if I am running the latest kernel, or the
other one:
kernel-3.12.10-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-3.12.9-301.fc20.x86_64

Updating Fedora versions
by David Mehler
Hello,
I've got a Linode running fc17. I'd like to update it to fc20. I'm
wondering if it's possible to do this upgrade from fc17 to fc20
without doing a complete reinstall? I've got several services that I'd
very much not like to have to reconfigure from scratch on the new
system.
Thanks.
Dave.

32-bit Mesa Debug RPM?
by Christopher Thielen
Hi all,
I'm trying to diagnose a crash in the Nouveau driver under F20 possibly
caused by Wine.
The crashing .so in question seems to be supplied by the
mesa-dri-drivers package, so I did:
sudo debuginfo-install mesa-dri-drivers
which installs a handful of debuginfo packages, among them
mesa-debuginfo-9.2.5-1.20131220.fc20.x86_64.
However, my Wine crashes are still missing Nouveau debug symbols. I'm
not sure why. Perhaps the Wine-based backtrace program is unaware of
Fedora's debuginfo RPMs?
The top of the backtrace looks like:
/lib/libc.so.6(+0x415d02f3)[0xf74292f3]
/lib/libc.so.6(+0x415d7e52)[0xf7430e52]
/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so(+0x1e8e69)[0x7b188e69]
/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so(+0x1e8e4b)[0x7b188e4b]
/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so(+0x1e8e4b)[0x7b188e4b]
/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so(+0xe309a)[0x7b08309a]
/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so(+0xe3569)[0x7b083569]
Is there a program I can use to manually map this backtrace onto the
appropriate symbols or set up Wine to load Fedora's debuginfo RPMs?
Thanks,
Christopher Thielen

dnf?
by Beartooth
I found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DNF#hawkey_package,
but couldn't make much of it, since it is written for a much more
technically sophisticated audience that I'll ever be.
I gather that dnf is a fork of yum, meant to be or to become a
replacement for it. But I don't follow the rationale.
Should end-users be trying it now? (It does seem, in my limited
purview, to work well.)
Can some Alpha Plus Technoid explain it to the rest of us?
I have one F20 box that seems to be having endless trouble with
NetworkManager, openswan, and libreswan (whatever the latter two may be);
what hope is there that dnf will straighten them out sooner and better
than yum has been doing?

Duplicate words | uniq\sort?
by Frank Murphy
I have 554 words in the following file one word per line.
Some words are repeated up to 3 times.
words.list
If I try "cat words.list | uniq -u"
It dumps all repeated words, I need one copy of all words.
uniq words.list > uniq.list
Words are still duplicated.
sort words.list | uniq
leaves about 20 words total
which I feel is wrong as
cat words.list | uniq -c
shows about 100 non-dupe words
Haven't much success with sort either.

'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'
by Stephen Davies
I recently tried to build the FreeCAD application on my Fedora 14
installation.
Somehow that process broke yum so that now, any attempt to use yum gives:
[root@mustang ~]# yum --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/yum", line 4, in <module>
import yum
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 55, in

<module>
flags = {"GT": rpm.RPMSENSE_GREATER,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'
I have managed to upgrade to Fedora 17 using DVDs but now neither yum nor
fedup work.
The yum error is unchanged and fedup gives effectively the same error:
[root@mustang ~]# fedup --network 18
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/fedup", line 25, in <module>

flags = {"GT": rpm.RPMSENSE_GREATER,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'
I tried rebuilding yum from source (yum-3.4.3-31.fc17.src.rpm) but with no
joy.
