Soundblaster
by Antonio Montagnani
I have two similar PC (old Pentium but workin fine)
In Pc no.1 I upgraded from RH8 to Fedora and it went fine: Soundblaster
is working fine
In Pc no.2 I made a fresh installation but in redhat-sound-config Fedora
doesn't see any card, that was working on Redhat 9 after soundconfig...
Where is the trick?? I assume that my Sounblaster is an old 16...but
fine on a router/firewall.
Tnx

Getting Fedora to recognize my Kindle
by David Cary Hart
This is probably basic stuff. It's just been a very long time since I
have had to do it.
Simply put, if I plug my Kindle into a USB port, Fedora fails to
recognize and mount it as an MTP device. This was working in F-21.
Particularly troubling is the failure of ADB to see the device after 21
-> 22.
No problem with my Android phone- Mounts and seen by ADB.
Where might I start? I would RTFM if I knew which FM to R ;-)

I'm shocked, shocked!
by Tom Horsley
To see that the "predictable" network name for my
one and only ethernet port has changed once again.
On fedora 22 eno1 is what used to be em1.
I have officially had it, I'm going to eradicate
this scourge and go back to eth0 so I don't have to
change all my iptables and ifconfig files every
time I upgrade fedora (or sometimes when I merely
get a new systemd update).

Unwanted blinking notice -
by Bob Goodwin
.
In Thunderbird, when I click on a URL in a message it does what I expect
it to and I don't need re-assurance the it has!
It brings up a flashing notification in the top left corner that I would
like to eliminate. Does anyone have a fix for that?
This is an updated F22/64bit system.

distcc only builds locally when using rpmbuild
by Sam Varshavchik
I've got distcc working correctly, when I run a build myself. I see the
build jobs getting distributed just fine.
However, when I use rpmbuild, all builds appear to be running locally.
ps shows the maximum number of "/usr/bin/distcc /usr/bin/g++ [options]"
processes running locally, that I but nothing gets distributed to other
hosts.
I've got %_smp_mflags set correctly to the number of build jobs that can run
in parallel, to the sum total of jobs that can be distributed via
/etc/distcc/hosts. Counting the number of distcc processes, I see that the
right number of jobs have started, but only the local build jobs are
running, and nothing gets distributed.
There must me something in the environment that's doing this, because when I
make the build myself, it works correctly.

Nautilus not show "Move to trash" in some case
by Dario Lesca
Stop fixing what is not broken.
Into nautilus / preferences / behavior / Trash, the flag "Include a
Delete command that bypasses Trash" is gone away (why?).
If the file to remove is into a folder into filesyste without user
trash, the right click on this file do not show "Move to trash".
So, in this case, it's not possible to remove the file or folder.
Workaround solution is using Caja (Great file manager!), thunar or open
a termina and delete the file/folder.
Some suggest?
Thanks

Fedora 22 KDE Spin - Arrows on windows borders
by Javier Perez
Hi
How do I get back the arrows for window resizing?
I can resize, but I have to guestimate if I am within the 10 to 20 pixels
area where the desktop recognizes that I am trying to resize the window,
not trying to do something else.
It is kind of annoying not having that visual feedback
My Look and Feel is "Breeze" and the desktop theme is "Fedora tweny two"
I tried googling but I do not even know the search term to look for it.
Thanks

F22 :: EFI boot :: grub2 does not find Windows 8.1
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! I know that there is another thread with similar subject but as i tried everything
i will reiterate the problem with grub2-mkconfig not seeing the windows 8.1 even after
adding custom entry.
So, this are my information:
[root@localhost grub.d]# parted -l
Model: ATA Corsair Force 3 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 90.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

[root@localhost grub.d]# mount | grep ^/dev/
/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/sda2 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=winnt,errors=remount-ro)

/dev/sda4 on /mnt/WIN_C type fuseblk (rw,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/WIN_D type fuseblk (rw,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[root@localhost grub.d]# cat 40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'Microsoft Windows 8.1' {
set root='hd0,gpt4'
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
boot
}
i must say that with both gpt2 and gpt4 (esp partition and C:\ partition) does not work..
[root@localhost grub.d]# ll /etc/grub*.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 May 30 10:07 /etc/grub2.cfg -> /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 May 30 10:04 /etc/grub2-efi.cfg -> /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
So, what i am missing? and why? (wasn't fedora tested for efi dual boot situations? i would think
that is preaty obvious that a HUGE percentage of usage will be on modern efi/gpt windows 8.1 laptops
and desktops)
Did anyone have a working dual boot EFI installation of Windows 8.1 + fedora 22?
Thank you!
Adrian
