USB drive renamed during F21-F22 upgrade
by Matthew Saltzman
It looks as though when I upgraded from F21 Server to F22 Server using
fedup, the identifier for my USB attached drive in /dev/disk/by-id
changed. As a result, the entry in /etc/fstab that mounted that drive
failed at boot with no apparent warning. Files intended to be written
to that drive went to / instead and filled the root partition.
I don't recall why that disk was mounted by id in the first place, but I
also don't understand why its id would change and how I should have
handled that during the upgrade.
Any thoughts, enlightenment, etc., appreciated. Also, what's the right
way to set up automounting on a server that doesn't run a desktop
environment?

How do I really prevent /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
by Tom Horsley
In some message a while back the claim was made that
creating a /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf that was
empty would override the systemd installed
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf, but I can
state positively that doesn't work, the systemd
setting is still in force.
What does work is (as root):
rm -f /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
but that file will come back if there is a systemd
update.
So is there really a way to get the default
kernel core file pattern to stick around even
with systemd updates?

ssh -X not working f22?
by Neal Becker
clean installed f22 onto server (was f21). Now ssh -X doesn't seem to work
to this server. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I do have
X11Forwarding yes
and ssh -v -X <host> <command> doesn't give any error - just hangs.

curl issue?
by bruce
Hi Group.
I've got a curl issue that I figured I'd post here as well, given that
this is a slow posting day for fed! Normally, I wouldn't post non fed
things here, but this is a slow day... (I've also posted this to the
curl list as well..)
Heck, I'd even send your fav bev if you were close by!!
Got a short test that "should" work. The test is doing a
curl/fetch of a page from a site that's running jscript on the back.
The test has stepped through the initial pages/using
Firefox/LiveHttpheaders to see what the network traffic is actually
doing. This is replicated in the test curl functions. The app uses
cookies/SSL, but no user/password login process..
It's actually pretty straightforward as far as I can see.
However, the test is not able to generate the target page, and in fact
seems to be running into a 302 somewhere.
The goal is is to generate the "page" after the initial pages that has
the list of the dept alphnumeric selection list.
If someone can point out what I've screwed up, much obliged.

Playing blu-ray disks on Fedora
by Richard W.M. Jones
Is it possible to play commercial blu-ray disks on Fedora? (I expect
of course that I'd have to install some RPMFusion software, and even
'other' software off the net).
If it is possible at all, are there external (USB) blu-ray drives
which are better than others?
Rich.

Anyone else having fun with multiple monitors on Fed22 KDE?
by Gary Baribault
Hey folks,
I have been running Fedora 20 for a while with the KDE spin, works
great, but I thought, I might as well upgrade! What could possibly go
wring? Right? LOL. OK, so it was late and I was on my second glass of
wine, but REALLY?
I have a 6 core AMD with 8 Gig of memory
1 1Tera drive as / and 500M as /boot
1 256Gig Corsair SSD as /home
and a 2 port NVidia graphics card with two 27 inch monitors.
My video is split with the two monitors one over the other. When I
upgraded from Fedora 20 --> Fedora 22 my upper monitor worked fine but
the lower one was SNAFU, weird distorted squiggly lines and the mouse
would not go there no matter what I tried. I tried re-configuring it,
nada, wouldn't work.
When I did the install I did a full backup of /home and then told
install where to mount /, /boot, /home and swap, told Fedora to format
everything but /home as ext4
Anyone else see this?
I backed off to Fedora 21 which is working just fine

I lost Windows boot option on installation of Fedora 22
by William Oliver
Help!
I had a dual boot box using Kubuntu and Windows 8. In GRUB, the Windows
option was listed as "Windows Boot Loader". When Fedora 22 came out
yesterday, I jumped to it. I installed it without a problem, but the
Windows option is no longer listed.
The Windows partitions are still there(the fdisk output is
below.
Any help on how to add it to the boot options?
Thanks!
