DNF problems.
by George R Goffe
Hi,
I'm probably not understanding how "dnf group install <group-spec>" is supposed to work. On my Fedora 22 system I enter "dnf group install 'Administration Tools" and some tools were installed. When I enter "dnf group install 'Editors'" NOTHING is installed. I do get a list (apparently) of what's in this group but when I enter "rpm -q joe" for example, "joe is NOT Installed". Am I not understanding something or doing something wrong?
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.

Q about cpupower
by JD
cpupower frequency-set -f 2000MHz
reports that all cores have been set, and command exits with value 0.
But
/usr/bin/cpupower frequency-info
shows all cores still at lower current frequencies.
This is on a laptop with a dual core i5 with hyperthreading enabled.
Also, the info shows 2 cores at slightly different "allowable???" turbo
frequencies.
See below.
# /usr/bin/cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 2.67 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2.40 GHz,
2.27 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.47 GHz,
1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave,
ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.67 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
*current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).*

Not able to do a remote install over the network ...
by dcw
I can do a remote install when both computers are on the local network
but when I try to do a remote install on a friend's computer the
following occurs:
I remote login to his computer and setup /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for the
remote install to go from F20 to F21.
menuentry 'Remote Install' {
set root='hd0,msdos1'
echo 'Loading Linux'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-remote
repo=hd:sda3:/install/Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-21.iso noselinux
ks.device=MAC_address ks=hd:sda3:/install/ks.cfg --noip6 vnc
vncconnect=MY_IP vncpassword=PASSWORD ramdisk_size=8192 panic=30
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd-remote.img
}
I then issue the 2 commands:
grub2-reboot "Remote Install"
reboot
His computer reboots, highlights the 'Remote Install' entry and then boots.
When it gets to the part on connecting VNC it displays connected.
I had started vncviewer --listen on my computer.
This is listening on port 5500. I also had port 5500 ACCEPTed in my
iptables.
I get the password window type the password in, the window disappears
and then NOTHING else happens.
I have tried the connect mode, direct mode, re-tested on a local
computer to verify I have his computer setup correctly.
I have setup my firewall to ACCEPT all packets from his IP address.
I took out the vncpassword and I got the initial window and NOTHING else.
I assume that I am overlooking something on my side like a iptables
entry but nothing is evident to me.
The documentation on Anaconda indicates that I have the 2 computers
setup correctly.
I know I am overlooking something but what?
Any help or pointers will be appreciated,
Thanks

Double click in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal selects different text parts
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
I'm running f22 with MATE desktop and GNOME3 desktop. I'm seeing
different strategies selecting text in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal:
Suppose there is a line containing the text
"sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22" in both terminals. Double
clicking in the gnome-terminal on "sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22"
selects only "sy-2015-06-13_08" (stopping at first ":"), but in
mate-terminal the same double click will select the complete text
"sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22".
I don't understand the different strategies.
Kid regards

There is an update on the HP website for the BIOS.
I do believe that I had updated it the last time when
I posted this problem. But I will check again, and if
it is not latest, I will indeed install it via windows 7 (on partition 1).
What I am thinking to do now is not only to gather the lmsensors
data, but also to use a fedora (20) package to reduce the frequency
(and hopefully, thus the temperature, of the cpu. Perhaps that
will go a long way to alleviate the problem.

F22: where is the files hids-id.h in the Fedora kernels?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
On the kernels from kernel.org, we have the file hid-ids.h in:
linux-4.0.5/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
This kernel is however missing from my F22 installation (with the Fedora kernel). Where would this be?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

managing the swap space size on fedora
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I need to adjust the swap space of my computer, and using the commands
lsblk e swapon -s :
I got the following output
- =-=-=-=-=-=-
[angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ *sudo lsblk*
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot
└─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part
├─fedora_localhost-swap 253:0 0 7.8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
├─fedora_localhost-root 253:1 0 50G 0 lvm /
└─fedora_localhost-home 253:2 0 873.2G 0 lvm /home
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
[angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ *swapon -s*
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/dm-0 partition 8126460 0 -1
- =-=-=-=-=-=-
This makes me think that the swap space on my computer resides on the
partition / dev / dm-0, which is 'managed by LVM, and' of about 8 GB.
The RAM of the computer and 'GB, and I would initially try to bring the
swap space to 16 GB (after I might try other values ....).
Since the swap partition and 'managed by LVM should not be hard to change
its size, but it is still fairly inexperienced *I would get a little help
to do this.*
Regards
thank you

(OT): Question about the laptop's lcd screen
by JD
Del Latitude E6501 (15.6") matte screen, has a resolution of 1366x768.
Have been asked by a friend to replace it with a matte 15.6" with resolution
of 1920x1080.
I have no problem helping as I can open the screen and do the replacement.
Q: Would the higher resolution require a different cable to connect it
to the motherboard?
Q: Would the graphics processor even be able to run it at 1920x1080?
The display model# my friend wants is
LG model LP156WF1 TP B1
I found this blog that says it is "doable" ;-)
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/e6510-1366x768-to-1920x1080-direc...
Hoping that someone on the list has encountered or done this before.

F22 LiveCD fails on older Dell E6400s
by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
I get the following behavior using the Workstation (and possibly other) LiveCD when I try to run a F22 livecd on two Dell E6400s (the same appears to be true for some other machines, as per the post):
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/69051/why-do-i-get-the-oh-no-so...
I have not tried the workaround this morning, but perhaps the LiveCDs should be considered for respinning with the updates, as is being suggested, with this BZ fix? So that beginners or those not well-versed in fedora/linux do not get their first obstacle in the most basic of steps before trying out Fedora (not possible to even have the LiveCD come up):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1228011
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
