Thunderbird is loading up my AdressBook
by Mickey
Fedora 21/ KDE Fedup from F20
Thunderbird is loading up Email Addreses in my AddressBook that I'm not
doing myself.
I'm get double entries of Email addresses I have entered.
Fedup 20-21 has Screwed up a number of things in the F21 update that I
did not have in F20. I guess I'm going to have to do a Fresh install of
F22 to get rid of these problems.

Blinking wifi light - Intel Pro Dell Wireless WIFI 3945 card in Dell D630 Laptop
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I swapped out a stock Broadcom wifi card for an Intel 3945 card and now my
Wifi indicator light blinks continually. I tried some of the
recommendations that I've found (create an /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
file with the line:
options iwlwifi led_mode=1
Subsequent rebooting does nothing to eliminate the annoyance.
The reason that I swapped out the Broadcom card is because it would stop
functioning after a certain irregular period of time, and
"systemctl restart NetworkManager" would not restart it (resorting to
plugging in the ethernet cable, or rebooting).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (either how to keep the
Broadcom card from dying, or getting rid of the Intel card causing the
wifi light to blink).
Thank you.

Graphics with fedora 22
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
After I update from 20 to 22. there is a graphics issue.
It works fine with a Live version.
This what I did in the past (2013). Should I do the same?
Xorg -configure
cvt 1440 900
xrandr -q
create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Fedora 21 Install: Stuck at "Installing software 12%"
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
Just put a new Seagate 2TB hard drive in the computer that I use as a
media server. I proceeded to install the KDE spin of Fedora 21 from a
flash drive. Everything went fine, but the progress indicator is
stuck at "Installing software 12%" Has been stuck there for about 10
minutes or more.
So, I WAS wondering what was wrong... Then I saw the following at the
bottom of the screen:
Fedora is now successfully installed and ready for you to use!
Go ahead and reboot to start using it!
In the lower right hand corner is a button that says "Quit"
So, I'm going to click that button and see what happens...

chromecast: Fedora vs Windows
by Timothy Murphy
Sadly, I find that chromecast (under google chrome) performs much better
under Windows 7 than under Fedora-22 (on the same laptop).
Under Fedora the reception is very jumpy.
Admittedly this is with a rather low - 6.5Mb/s - internet speed.
I wonder if this is a common experience?

Well, that all looks in order.
So, you are able to boot and you do get a graphical login screen, but you don't get a cursor and you can't type a password.
You looked in the fedup log, located in /var/log, and see no errors.
I'm fairly sure the lack of XINPUT lines in the Xorg log is telling....just have no idea what could be the issue.
I've not had a failure in fedup such as this and I've been using it for the past several releases.

Help. KDE Dolphin cannot read home directory, smbclient reads it fine
by Javier Perez
Hi
Fedora 22 both machines, the server and the client.
I have been looking for something on this problem but maybe my Google-Fu is
not good enough.
I set up Samba on my home server to share my home directory and a few other
directories.
Finally I got it all working except for Dolphin.
I can do smbclient //server/homedirectory and I get the listing of my home
directory.
On the other hand if I go to Network->Samba Shares->Workgroup->server and
try to open the Homes entry, I get an error: "The file or folder
smb://server/homes does not exist
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

FWIW, all of my systems report something for XINPUT in the Xorg log...
Also, what do you get for these commands?
journalctl -b 0 | grep -i mouse
journalctl -b 0 | grep -i keyb
Sadly, I'm running out of ideas...
