Dell Inspiron 1545 touchpad suddenly s-l-o-w
by Temlakos
The latest updates--pushed yesterday--cause the touchpad on my Dell
Inspiron 1545 to run v-e-r-y s-l-o-w.
It was so bad, I tried to reinstall Fedora.
At first the reinstall restored the swift movement of the touchpad pointer.
But as soon as it took the updates, everything slowed down once again.
When I run in Setup, the touchpad cursor moves swiftly. But not when
Fedora is loaded.
What a time for this to happen. I simply cannot use it for any kind of
presentation in the shape it's in.
What package might I possibly be able to roll back until somebody fixes
the problem?

f20 bridges not starting on boot
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
f20 fully updated. Not using NetworkManager.
There are an assortment of interfaces and bridges defined in my
network-scripts/ifcfg files. The interfaces come up but the bridges
don't. I have to manually restart networking to bring the bridges up
and bind the interfaces to them.
This had been working up through f18 (didn't try f19).
Any ideas on how to get them to be created on boot or why they don't?
Is this a candidate for a bug report?
Thanks for any help,
Mike Wright

Re: Firefox Add-On has a malware effect
by JD
Installed from the add-ons
"PDF Download"
It reformatted my firefox display so that
it creates a right margin at least 4 Inches
from the rightmost edge of the firefox window.
I uninstalled it, but the malware side effect
is still there.
I will try to communicate with the author of this
piece of unmentionable stuff.

mandb errors
by JD
I have a rather new fc20 installation (about 4 or 5 weeks).
After installing some packages for dnf and hawkey,
I thought I would rerun mandb to incorporate the new
man pages into the db.
Not sure why it belched these errors.

DNF Crash Installing Package and Resolving Keys
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I was trying to install mysql packages from the yum repository for
Fedora 20 provided by Oracle and the fist package dnf tried to install
needed to have a key loaded from the key file specified in the
repository definition but crashed with the following stack trace. Has
anybody else seen this?
As a side issue to this, after getting the failure I tried sudo yum
upgrade and that just kept looping complaining that yum-cron was holding
the yum lock, is this normal?

Gnome3's password entry prompt blocks access to anything else
by Dario Lesca
When gnome3 application (es evolution) ask password of some account
that not want to save it to keyring (Seahorse), the access to other
application (es. gnome-terminal or keepass, my keyring) or other desktop
is disable.
I have found only this tread on this problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688434
But the solution proposed at comment #33, works only partially: it is
not possible to type some text on other application, only mouse work.
It's possible, an how to do, disable this annoying an unintended
"feature"?
Many thanks

How to get my app visible in gnome-software
by Jeandet Alexis
Hi,
I wonder if a copr rpm can be visible on gnome-software, then if yes can
somebody point me to some documentation for fixing my spec file?
This is a graphical app and I'm a very beginner in rpm building, I may
have missed something obvious.
Best regards,
