window displays with black/white blocks running a java program
by dcw
I have F21 but it also did the same thing on F20.
I use the java program thinkorswim from TDAmeritrade.
From the desktop computer, the program works correctly.
The laptop computer has a problem.
The first screen displays correctly. The second screen that is for
logging in has a lot of vertical graphics with black/white blocks. The
screen is not readable but if you put the mouse at the correct place I
am able to login.
After the applications is loaded, the rest of the application runs
correctly.
This has only happened on laptops (2 laptops different brands, both F21).
Both laptops work correctly otherwise.
When I remote login from my desktop to the laptop and run the
application all screens display correctly on the desktop monitor.
I thought that I was missing a font on the laptop, but both laptop and
desktop have the same fonts.
Has anyone seen similar problems.
Any ideas for what to check next?
Thanks,
David

Q about how TB handles google mail
by JD
A friend came to me asking for help I was not able to
figure out.
He has multiple laptops, at different geographical locations.
On all of them, he uses fedora and TB.
What he has bot been able to achieve is that all laptops
download the same messages from gmail.
But what happens is that if laptop A downloads all
latest messages. Then if he logs off, and 2 days later,
he logs in on laptop B and tried to download all messages,
he only gets the ones that come in AFTER the ones he
downloaded on laptop A.
How can he config TB to always download messages that have
not been downloaded?
Or is it an issue with the gmail server itself?
I have seen a solution that advises the use of IMAP instead
of pop3.
But that is not what he wants, because sometimes he does not have
access to the web, and would still like to read messages he has
not read yet, so he needs them to be on the laptops.
Perhaps it cannot be done???
Thanx.

Has anyone installed it?
What are the plans for the Fedora repos? It hasn't made it to
updates-testing yet.

Thunderbird and Gmail -
by Bob Goodwin
I would like to use gmail.com via Thunderbird but nothing I have tried
on their page seems to fix things. "Get Messages" results in the
following message"
> Sending of password for user Bob Goodwin did not succeed. Mail server
> pop.gmail.com responded: Temporary system problem. Please try again
> later. e68mb297548332ita
My password, etc, work as expected on the gmail "web mail" page, I can
send and receive, however that's not what I want, I prefer to use
Thunderbird.
Perhaps someone else has been though this and can tell me what needs to
be done?

This is what I was talking about
by Joe Zeff
Subject: This is what I was talking about
Jerry, earlier this year I wrote you a letter about how the Air Force
could make better use of air supremacy. (Another of your readers
responded, accusing me of "victory through air power.) Here's an
article you may not have seen showing us doing exactly the type of thing
I was advocating:
http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/08/02/us-led-raids-destroy-isis-b...
You drop the bridges and it makes it harder and slower for ISIS to get
troops, supplies and equipment to the front where they're needed and
that makes it easier for our "boots on the ground" to do their job. I
do have to ask, though, what took them so long?

Removing old kernels using dnf leaves files in /boot
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
Because I run my linux installation on "real" hardware as well as
using VirtualBox I need manual control when old kernels (which have
vbox extensions) are removed.
Recently I tried to remove old kernel packages with dnf ("dnf remove
kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22"), yet the files contained in this package are
still in /boot:
[root@user-pc boot]# ls -la /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5968568 Jul 29 21:59 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64
Any idea what could be going wrong here?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

dnf: not found deltainfo and updateinfo
by Robert Moskowitz
I used the -v option and saw all these messages for all of my repos
(Fedora, Fedora-update, Adobe, rpmfusion free and non-free). I kind of
get the no deltainfo message. I did not download the delta rpms to my
local repos for Fedora and Fedora-update, and not supprised the others
don't have. Is that why? Though I did put a deltarpm=0 in the
/etc/yum.conf file (does dnf use this or have its own?).
But what is the no updateinfo message about?
thanks

doing docker build, "SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp from using the sigchld access on a process.", kills wireless
by Robert P. J. Day
by now, i'm getting *really* good at debugging. was doing a simple
docker build (docker-1.8.1) with first few lines of Dockerfile (which
worked fine not that long ago):
FROM ubuntu:14.04
MAINTAINER Robert P. J. Day
ENV REFRESHED_AT 2015-08-18
RUN apt-get -y -q update && apt-get -y -q install nginx
... snip ...
and it was *entirely* reproducible that the instant docker started to
process that "RUN apt-get" command, the wireless connection on my
Fedora 22 laptop was blown away. grabbed this from SELinux:
===== start =====
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp from using the sigchld access on a process.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that abrt-hook-ccpp should be allowed sigchld access on processes labeled kernel_t by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep abrt-hook-ccpp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

i grabbed a few hundred lines of "journalctl" output that show all
sorts of evil nonsense happening with networking, but it would appear
that i'm not the only one seeing this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=selinux%20preventing%...
so it's not clear whether there's a bugzilla here or not -- i get the
feeling top men are already on this. top men.
