Bluetooth woes (again)
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Once again my BT mouse is acting up and I have no idea why. I've been using it with no problems for months, through successive updates to the kernel, and it has Just Worked. Then suddenly it doesn't. The configuration dialogues (on both Gnome and KDE) see the mouse and give its Mac address, show it as paired, trusted and not blocked, but say it's "unreachable". The mouse has adequate battery and power cycling makes no difference. My BT adaptor is a Broadcom dongle. It has up to date firmware (as of a couple of months ago). This has happened several times in the past (e.g. see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2014-March/447579.html) and just as suddenly seems to fix itself, sometimes after several days of complete frustration. This is F22 fully updated, using both kernel-4.1.8-200.fc22.x86_64 and kernel-4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64 The mouse has never failed on my other system, a laptop running Fedora 21 but with a builtin BT adaptor. If anyone has something to suggest, I'm all ears. poc

Disaster recovery recommendations
by Max Pyziur 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Greetings, I have three drives; they are all SATA Seagate Barracudas; two are 500GB; the third is a 2TB. I don't have a clear reason why they have failed (possibly due to a deep, off-brand, flakey mobo; but it's still inconclusive, but I would like to find a disaster recovery service that can hopefully recover the data. Much thanks for any and all suggestions, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

building tcl without threads
by Paolo Galtieri 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

I'm trying to install and run sguil, a network security monitor. In order to run sguil you need to have tcl installed. The problem is that sguil requires a version of tcl built without threads. The installed tcl has threads enabled. I downloaded the srpm for tcl and changed the spec file to run the configure with --prefix=/usr/local and removed the --enable-threads flag. This didn't work, it still built everything under /usr. How do I build a version of tcl that I can install under /usr/local that disables threads? Any help is appreciated. Than you, Paolo

Problem with new install of F22
by JD 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

During boot, I get (as a last line) something like Not Authorized and I do not get the GUI coming up. I get the prompt to enter control-D or enter the root password. How can one debug this to find the root cause?

F22: Interrupted system update
by "Germán A. Racca" 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi guys, I have this situation: I was updating my Fedora 22 at the university, but there was a power outage and the update didn't finish. Hopefully, I was able to boot the machine and even to login into Gnome, but now it is impossible to continue with the update using dnf upgrade. I tried package-cleanup --cleandupes, but it didn't work because it wanted to remove systemd and dnf, which are protected packages and are duplicated. Running dnf remove $(dnf repoquery --duplicated --latest-limit -1 -q) also gives the same result: "Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, dnf". My question is: can I safely remove the lower versions of systemd and dnf with rpm -e and then proceed with cleaning duplicates and continue to update in the usual way, or how should I proceed? Many thanks in advance! Germán. -- Germán A. Racca Fedora Package Maintainer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Skytux
