F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison
Good afternoon,
Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by
Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" =
"users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem
both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely
messages from this list are not junk!
thanks,
Bill.

installing via VNC over ipv6
by Chris Murphy
This suggests installation using vnc over ipv6 is supported:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Ipv6OnlyInstallation
But when I use inst.vnc boot option, I get an text screen that says to
connect to an ipv4 address, an ipv6 address isn't listed. When I go to
a shell and use 'ip addr' there is a global ipv6 address, but no
formatting for tigervnc I've come up with will connect, it won't
connect:
vncviewer.desktop[12590]: CConn: unable connect to socket:
Invalid argument (22)
If I boot Fedora 23 Server on this same hardware, the 'ip addr'
address can be used successfully to ssh into the server, and also
point a browser to https://[ipv6]:9090 to reach the Cockpit interface
successfully.
root 1744 0.0 0.9 251060 36468 pts/0 Sl+ 03:29 0:00 Xvnc
:1 -depth 16 -br IdleTimeout=0 -auth /dev/null -once
DisconnectClients=false desktop=Fedora rawhide installation on host
10.0.0.15 SecurityTypes=None rfbauth=0
I can't tell if -InTransports needs to explicitly specify ipv6 for it
to work. But at this point I'm stumped and can't tell if it's user
error or a bug. And netstat isn't on non-live media apparently so I
don't have access to that while xvnc is running to see if it's
listening over something other than just an ipv4 address.

Fedora 23 Server: can't startx
by Braden McDaniel
I have a fresh, updated install of Fedora 23 Server. After
installation, I installed the "Basic Desktop" group. Now, when I try to
run startx, it fails with the error:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
Where should I look to diagnose/resolve this? Could this be related to
the fact that my home directories are NFS mounted? (I have set the
use_nfs_home_dirs SELinux setting to "on".)

smplayer volume control
by Andre Robatino
For a long time now, the smplayer (from RPMFusion) volume control is
vertical, instead of horizontal, with a negligible height, so it's
essentially useless. This is still true with the latest version
smplayer-16.1.0-1.fc23, and even after deleting ~/.config/smplayer. Do all
Fedora users see this, and can it be fixed?

VDQ : Aaarrrghghghhh : Gnome 3
by Beartooth
Very Dumb Question :
I've just installed F 23, and failed to tell it to use xfce; how
do I fix that?? (I seem doomed never to find anything in Gnome 3.)

Shutdown takes too long
by Konstantin Svist
After upgrading the kernel to 4.4.x series, it takes my laptop a long
time to shut down without intervention.
Sometimes I see a status saying something like "wait job is running for
user ... (1m 30sec)"
But a lot of the time I just see the bootup log with "Starting Switch
Root..." being the last line
I noticed one way to shut down is to use sysrq shortcuts (R,E,I from
REISUB combo) -- obviously that's not a perfect solution..
Laptop has dual graphics, if that makes any difference.. Intel+Nvidia
Not sure if filing a bug would even help, most of them just get ignored
for years

Major owncloud updates incoming
by James Hogarth
Hi all,
We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a
while.
The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0
release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the
current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2.
Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as
upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major
releases.
In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's
released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of
weeks.
We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than
usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please
remember your backups prior to the upgrade!
Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for
a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied
before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates.
If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports
please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily
accessible from pkgdb:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/owncloud/
Kind regards,
James

export of programs via ssh
by Todor Petkov
Hello,
I have the following situation:
My workstation is Fedora 23, with the latest updates.
I have also several virtual machines with Fedora23 and Centos 5/6/7.
When I log in Fedora via ssh and try to run firefox from Fedora, there
is no activity, it just stays and no export is coming on my screen.
When I log in this machine via Windows (putty + xming), the export is
fine. I have no problems with the export of lets say wireshark/xclock.
The machine is with the latest firefox/kernel
When I start firefox with strace, it says:
--- SIGVTALRM {si_signo=SIGVTALRM, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=5575,
si_uid=1003} ---
rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
wait4(5592, 0x7ffeecd03cc4, 0, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be
restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
Similar problem is for Centos7 - firefox starts, but it's like hung -
no url back, just gray window. Xclock export is fine. Windows putty
session with firefox is fine
Can someone give a hint what I am doing wrong?
Regards,
8 years
