How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin)
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hi;
How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin)
I just downloaded and installed Fedora 22 KDE spin as a VIrtualBox guest OS.
I have updated.
I'm trying to change the am/pm time format to 24-hour time format.
Under System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Date & Time I do not
find any way to change the format of my time, only my timezone, which
I do not wish to change.
I tried to change the icon itself but that doesn't work either.
Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

How to disable the automatics screen lock on Fedora 22 KDE?
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hi All;
I just installed Fedora 22 KDE spin as a VirtualBox guest.
I tried to disable the automatics screen lock but it still turns on
automatically.
I want to invoke it manually only (if ever).
How to disable the automatics screen lock?
Thanks,

/boot and encrypted partitions?
by Dave Johansen
I was luck enough to be bitten by this issue (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212907 ) when attempting to do
a clean install of F22. I copied all of my data off and then tried manually
setting things up as separate partitions (instead of in an LVM) but it kept
telling me that /boot couldn't be on a LUKS partition. The config I had was
/home was encrypted and / was encrypted but then the biosboot partition was
not encrypted, and all 3 were standard partitions. Is this something that's
just not supported? Or was I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi alchemist,
Another point: clicking first on the "New Data Project" button, and
then dragging /boot/vmlinuz... to the Data project window, no error
happens, and I can burn flawlessly. It seems that the direct drag/drop
process selects the wrong target action.

I sent Joachim a snapshot of my k3b, off list, showing my "correct" view and indicated I only get what he shows if I click on "audio" project.

grub2 in fedora 22
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I had a bad surprise.
After the last update grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
the grub.cfg is not correct
I have:
menuentry 'Fedora (4.1.2-200.fc22.i686+PAE) 22 (Twenty Two)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-4.1.2-200.fc22.i686+PAE-advanced-78c1373b-43b8-4706-8771-4bc5a2ea0fa4' {
set gfxpayload=text
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos6'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos6 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos6 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos6 --hint='hd0,msdos6' fff6282e-eb24-405f-b43b-06ba5cc92c70
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root fff6282e-eb24-405f-b43b-06ba5cc92c70
fi
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.1.2-200.fc22.i686+PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys0-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0 rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys3/root
initrd16 /initramfs-4.1.2-200.fc22.i686+PAE.img
}
while it should be:
inux16 /vmlinuz-4.1.2-200.fc22.i686+PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys0-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0 rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys0/root
VolGrpSys0/root is a fedora 20.
where did grub2-mkconfig find this wrong information?
How can I fix it (i.e. not manually in gbub.cfg
Thank.

UEFI system: reboot does not work but shutdown -r now does
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
On a new UEFI-boot desktop running Fedora 22, the command (on a terminal prompt) "reboot" does not actually bring up the system. Actually, it is not clear that the system even goes down. What happens is that the monitor light goes off but the desktop light stays on -- and nothing happens. I don't even see the Fedora f/infinity bubble.
However, running "shutdown -r now" brings the Fedora f/infinity bubble, the lights switch and the system boots again.
What is the issue here? Any suggestions? I have never had this happen previously, but then this my first try at a UEFI system.
Is it possible to disable "reboot" -- i am concerned about "reboot"ing remotely by habit and accident and the system not coming up until being powered on.
I considered renaming the file /usr/sbin/reboot to something else, but then an update to systemd would likely break my "fix".
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
