Fedora 23 Apper display garbled
by Mayavimmer
Hello list, this is my first question on Fedora lists. Gentle guiding
appreciated.
Problem: when I run Apper the progress information, such as "Downloading
gcc" and similar, is a bit garbled. It seems that it writes
"Downloading" first, then overwrites it with "Downloading gcc" shifted
to the right by 4 or 5 spaces, making it hard to read.
Is this normal? Is it a known bug?
And how do I search the list to see if it has been discussed already?
Thanks.

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,

How to rip a DVD?
by thomas cameron
Howdy, all -
I have purchased a DVD for my kids, and I want to make it available on
their tablet for car trips and the like. Totally legal, not pirating,
blah, blah, blah.
I've always used handbrake to rip an mp4 file for this, but this
particular DVD seems to be copy protected somehow. It's "From Up On
Poppy Hill," from Studio Ghibli.
Does anyone know a way of doing this on Fedora? My Google-fu must not be
good, as I've found references to this being copy protected, but am only
finding links to closed source Windows software to make copies.
Thanks,
Thomas

DNF is a time waster
by CLOSE Dave
If I run something like, "dnf -y install xxxx", and xxxx is already
installed, DNF gives a response like the following.
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:02 ago on ...
Package xxxx is already installed, skipping.
... (long delay, sometimes several minutes) ...
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
That is, it works but it takes an unreasonably long time to do so. How
can it be that, DNF knows the package is already installed and /still/
takes such a long time to decide that dependencies are ok? There aren't
any dependencies to resolve!

4.6 kernel timeframe?
by Tom Horsley
When is a fedora release likely to have the 4.6 kernel
(I suspect fedora 25)?
I saw rumors the nvidia maxwell card firmware will finally
be included in 4.6 and it might finally be possible to
use nouveau with my graphics card, so I'm just wondering when
I might be able to stop fooling with nvidia binary drivers.
