Aaugh! xinput not working for drag lock!
by Tom Horsley
I'm trying to do final tweaks to my fedora22 system,
and I can't live without drag lock for my trackball.
These commands have always worked before:
#!/bin/bash
xinput --set-button-map \
'Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse' \
1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2
xinput --set-int-prop \
'Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse' \
'Evdev Drag Lock Buttons' 8 2 1
but on fedora 22 I don't get drag lock (although
I do get the top left mouse button mapped to
button 8).
Anyone have any idea what might have changed here?

Replacement rack server recommendations
by Gary Stainburn
I'm looking to replace our 8 year old IBM Express x3550 servers and I'm
looking for recommendations.
They have hardware RAID 1 with 2x760GB drives, 4GB RAM and Xeon E5410 quad
core 2.33Ghz processor.
THe biggest problem here is that the server is too slow, so really any modern
server would probably do to replace it. Dual power supplies are HW RAID are
on my wants list though.
What I'm looking for is makes / models that play well with Linux. The only
real problem I have with the IBMs is that the HW RAID was not supported by
Linux. While I was able to configure it through the BIOS, and the RAID worked
when needed, i.e. when a HDD died, I could not monitor the state via Linux.
Other than that I don't have any odd requirements. It's just going to be a
bog standard LAPP server.
I'm based in Leeds in the UK, so a UK based model would also be required.

Mobile Broadand
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
After I updated from fedora 20 to 22, I lost the Mobile Broadband and
Wifi connections.
I tried several things
like
systemctl start ModemManager
systemctl enable ModemManager
but it does not help.
Id does not show up in
mmcli -m 0
while it does in
mmcli -L
Any ideas?
Thank.

after upgrading from W7 to W10, grub2 still thinks it's W7
by Andre Robatino
I have a BIOS machine which is dual boot Windows 7/Fedora 22. I just
upgraded Windows from 7 to 10, but grub2 still detects it as "Windows 7
(loader)", same as before, even after running "grub2-install /dev/sda" and
"grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" in F22. Other than the mislabel,
everything seems fine. Is it normal for grub2 to not detect the correct
Windows version? What about Windows 8, which has been around for a while?

Closure: fedup 20 -> 21 -> No Mouse or Keyboard
by Rich Emberson
Review my post from previous week or so for background
First Laptop:
Having failed to upgrade Fedora 22 using fedup on my KDE-base
Fedora 20, I reinstalled Fedora 20.
I downloaded the Workstation Live dvd twice, each time it passed
the 256sha and both time the burned dvd passed the media test ...
but both time after a prolonged time, the "sad-face" information
widget appeared announcing that the Workstation code not be loaded;
also no mouse or keyboard so I could not interact with the widget.
So, I tried downloading KDE Live .... and I came up with
mouse and keyboard.... something is right about the KDE Live
iso or wrong about the Workstation Live iso.
Then, one more time I executed (going straight to 22 from 20):
> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct
After download, reboot, install, etc. I found my self
with the graphics mode login screen with both mouse and
keyboard. I logged in putting me in KDE with, again, mouse
and keyboard.
I did no more experimentation as to why my previous fedup
upgrade had disabled my mouse and keyboard.
Second Laptop:
So, I then took another Fedora 20 laptop (a rather more
recent machine) and executed:
> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct
After the upgrade (download, reboot, install, etc.)
I was in multi-user mode and I logged in. Then I execute
> xinit
with my .xinitrc containing:
/usr/bin/startkde
KDE started but I had no mouse or keyboard!!!
So, I changed to graphics mode and rebooted ... yes,
I have mouse and keyboard.
Changed back to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard.
Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard.
First Laptop:
Changed to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard.
Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard.
So, at least for me and two different KDE laptops,
"xinit" calling "/usr/bin/startkde" leaves me with
neither mouse or keyboard.
Just finished upgrading my KDE media server (xbmc -> kodi) with
> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct
and all when well (in graphics mode).
Thats it. No answers.
I would like to be able to boot into multi-user mode and
then start X/KDE but maybe thats no longer possible
with Fedora 22.
Thanks

Sticky notes: fedora to/from android
by Timothy Murphy
Is there an app for writing sticky notes
that transfers automatically between Fedora-22/KDE and Android?
I use KNotes under Fedora and GNotes under Android,
but neither seems to transfer automatically.
Incidentally, is there a forum or mailing list
devoted to Fedora/Android inter-action?

Glabels asks for too much info
by Javier Perez
Trying to install glabels I see it wanting to install
evolution-data-server
geocode-glib
gnome-online-accounts.
At first Ithough to file a bug in bugzilla but then I realize that maybe
glabels have some kind of mailmerge component that tries to talk to your
e-mail (evolution) and online accounts.
Fair enough, but isn't there a simple mail maker that one could use for
stuff like printing a CD with some info just to remember what kind of info
has just been burned?
Using GIMP is kind of overkill.
