GNOME applications do not respect the chosen XFCE style
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
I am running XFCE on Fedora 22. And my problem is that the GNOME
applications does not obey to the windows style I have chosen for XFCE
applications. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

NetworkManager-openvpn and NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome
by James Crace
Hi,
I wiped my F21 Workstation and did a clean install of F22, only with the XFCE spin this time.
In F21 with GNOME, I had quite a few .ovpn files that I imported using NetworkManager. They worked fine.
In F22 with XFCE, NetworkManager would not import them, giving the error:
"Error: does not look like a Cisco AnyConnect Compatible VPN (openconnect) VPN connection (parse failed)"
This is with NetworkManager-openvpn installed. I was stumped, and after using dnf list NetworkManager* I saw
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. On a hunch, I installed it, and a new option shows up in NetworkManager for
"OpenVPN" and my .ovpn files are all successfully importing again.
What I'm wondering is why doesn't NetworkManager-openvpn provide the same functionality? Why do I have to
install the -gnome specific files (under XFCE) to get what one would assume comes with the -openvpn package?
It was easy to work around, but I'm just curious why NetworkManager-openvpn doesn't create an OpenVPN option
or allow users to import OpenVPN files.
Thanks,

binary executes in an SELinux type other than its label
by Gordon Messmer
"courierlogger" is labeled "courier_exec_t" in the filesystem, but
appears to execute under "system_mail_t". I think the former type is
being treated as an alias for the latter, but I don't remember where I'd
look for information on that.
The problem is that when upgrading the courier-authlib package, a
preuninstall script runs "authdaemond stop", which in turn uses
courierlogger to signal the running process to exit. The command hangs,
while courierlogger tries to send the signal (in a loop) and is denied
by SELinux policy.
$ ls -lZ /usr/sbin/courierlogger
-rwxr-xr-x. daemon daemon system_u:object_r:courier_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/courierlogger*
This is the AVC that is logged repeatedly while courierlogger is trying
to stop authdaemond.
type=AVC msg=audit(1436135786.396:23625): avc: denied { sigkill } for

Fedora low level tools
by JD
Are there any generic vanilla tools for Linux or specific to Fedora
that can run in standalone mode from a bootable cd/dvd and can be
used to undervolt (i.e underclock) or overvolt (overclock) the cpu?
Especially for the unlocked AMD cpu's.
