rooting/flashing an android phone from fedora
by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
I have been trying to install Cyanogenmod on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Fedora 23. According to the documentation available at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_maguro I have to use adb and fastboot which are available on fedora under android-tools. So, all of it is downloaded without a hitch, but I can not get adb or fastboot to "work". Reading on, I have tried the workarounds proposed, to no avail. It appears that I need to add my username to a group plugdev but there is no group by that name. I tried using
sudo groupadd plugdev
and that did add the group. Next, I tried:
sudo gpasswd -a username plugdev
as per http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/UDEV
with my username in place but still:
$ groups
username wheel
However, system-config-users indicates that the group plugdev is checked.
Needless to say, I have come to a halt. Is there any workaround (or even a better approach using Fedora) for this task?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

confusion setting up local email delivery, a war story
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
I wished to set up a Fedora 23 notebook to pick up email via fetchmail. A
problem I'd solved long ago on other distros and releases.
fetchmail failed because it tried to use SMTP with localhost to do the
local delivery and nobody was listening for SMTP. That got removed
from the default install perhaps sometime around Fedora 20.
So I installed postfix. That didn't work. I may have done some other
things in desperation -- I was actually directing my user to do the
sysadmining via intermittent email between different cities. This was a
month ago so my memory is foggy.
I picked up the problem yesterday, with direct access to the notebook.
I'm not really familiar with the new way logging is handled (journald)
so it took me a while to figure out that there was useful information
there. (journalctl is a very awkward tool in my hands.) I finally
figured out that I needed to "process" the aliases file (/etc/aliases).
The comments in the file itself say to run the newaliases command.
There was no such command. But there was newaliases.postfix. Running
that didn't work: it tried to read something (what?) from standard in.
I took a wild guess that the program looked at the name with which it
was invoked behaved accordingly. So I created a symlink
~/bin/newaliases to /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix and invoked that. Success!
Amusing fact: "man newaliases.postfix" displays a manpage (good!) that
doesn't mention newaliases.postfix (bad!).
Why was there no /usr/bin/newaliases? Perhaps in desperation I had gotten
the user to install and remove different MTAs (sendmail, esmtp?) and the
"preferences" system got lost. This seems unfortunate. (Although the
preferences system is surely a Good Thing, it is something else I've not
yet understood.)
If postfix's /usr/bin/newaliases-and-whatever-else cares about the
name under which it is invoked, it should log an error for an
unexpected name. /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix has no other hard links
on my system.

Issue with kernel-devel installation.
by Erik P. Olsen
It is not a bug but merely an irritation whenever I update the kernel
to the next level kernel-devel is not updated, I have to do it manually
when I run into a problem that it is not installed.
How can I train dnf to pull in kernel-devel when the kernel is updated?

Re: btrfs doesn't support filesystem swap

Some features are not production ready, most features however are....

I was surprised that btrfs is still not considered production ready after all this time. I don't recall ext3/4 taking this long to be considered production ready. Of course, had I done due diligence, I wouldn't have put a couple of btrfs based web servers in production before finding that nasty item out. Fortunately, I replaced them with ext4 servers before they blew up.
On that note, is Fedora going to offer native ZFS any time soon? I know Ubuntu 16.04 will release with it native.

Hi All,
I have a few Fedora 23 box's joined to an AD domain using SSSD. The AD admin users in the local default admin group wheel for these computers.
Login and using sudo in terminal is not an issue. However, any gnome GUI interface which requires elevation prompt to enter their admin password fails with a message like "Authentication failure, please try again."
Two of these Fedora 23 desktops are clean builds and fully up to date with selinux disabled.

DWA192 Network Connection Speed Slow
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I am using a dual channel Dlink DWA192 wireless USB adapter. This
adapter is supported in the kernel via the Ath9k driver, but only the
2.4GHz band is supported, the 5 GHz band is not. Looking at the
Networkmanager connection speed statistics the speed alternates between
135Mb/s and 1Mb/s, which on a 600Mb/s link is terrible. On windows with
the vendor supplied driver I get 565Mb/s on the 2.4GHz band and 1.3Gb/s
on the 5GHz band. How do I determine why I'm not getting to full
connection speed from the 2.4GHz band, and how do I determine why the
kernel doesn't support the 5GHz band?
regards,
Steve

/var/log/dnf.rpm.log empty

Hello,
I have 3 - I think identically configured - Fedora 22 hosts but on one of them
the file /var/log/dnf.rpm.log is empty :-(
Any pointer where the problem might be on this host?
