Import pxssh failed in Fedora 24 (worked in Fedora 23 and earlier vresions)
by Kevin Wilson
Hi all,
I ran a python 2 script which works fine for Fedora 23 and earlier,
with python-2.7. It stopped
to work on Fedoera 24 ; following are details:
python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Sep 8 2015, 17:20:17)
[GCC 5.1.1 20150618 (Red Hat 5.1.1-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pexpect
>>> import pxssh
>>>
....
...
rpm -q python-pexpect
python-pexpect-3.1-4.fc23.noarch
In fedora 24, I don't have python-pexpect, it seems that
python2-pexpect replaced it.
But python2-pexpect does include pexpect.py and pxssh.py
rpm -ql python2-pexpect | grep pexpect.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/fdpexpect.py
...
cghost:~$rpm -ql python2-pexpect | grep pxssh.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/pxssh.py
However, I get ImportError: No module named pxssh when running the same script:
The error is about pxssh; please not that import pexpect succeeded.
$> python
Python 2.7.11 (default, Jun 21 2016, 09:15:12)
[GCC 6.1.1 20160510 (Red Hat 6.1.1-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pexpect
>>> import pxssh
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pxssh
>>>
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Kevin

DNF does not actually upgrade
by SternData
I did
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=24
--enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
--enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing --nogpgcheck
which downloaded a lot of packages and ended with
Complete!
Download complete! Use 'dnf system-upgrade reboot' to start the upgrade.
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful
transaction.
But when I do
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
The system reboots, pauses near the end and says "preparing upgrade.
this may take a while". After about 3 minutes, it reboots again and I'm
still in F23.
There's no upgrade option on the boot screen, just the F23 kernels

Linphone configuration
by Pavel Vlček
Dear users,
my name is Pavel Vlček. I am from Czech Republic. I am using screen
reader and Fedora 24. I have a small issues with Linphone 3.6.1, can
you help?
When I want to add my sip account, I fill user name, password and
domain, but the Appli button can't be clicked. My question is, do you
know, why? I used 3.9.1 Linphone when I used Arch Linux, but 3.9.1
isn't officially in Fedora and some repository which I found has code
500 error. Can someone help please?
Thanks,
Pavel Vlček

LiveUSB-Creator -
by Bob Goodwin
It appears that LiveUSB-creator [aka Fedora Media Writer] no longer
writes to a usb flash stick from data saved to my Fedora23 hard drive
but insists on downloading a copy itself? Or am I missing something?

Fedora 24 install fail
by Robin Laing
Trying to install Fedoar 24 to a new machine. System freezes on the
install just after and EDAC sbridge, - couldn't find mci handler.
Used to have an message about KVM before but enabled VT in bios and that
disappeared.
Tried Fedora 24 live and Fedora 24 KDE live with the same problem.
ASUS sabertooth X99 motherboard. Latest BIOS.
nVidia Titan X video card.
I suspect issue is with Titan X not being supported by Nouveau enough
for install. The matrix says it should work without some basic
features. https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/
Will try a different nVidia card and see if that works.

Minimizing downloads for multiple dnf system-upgrades
by Sam Varshavchik
I have a bunch of x86-64 machines on my LAN.
It seems to be a major waste of time to have each one of them plow through
and download all F24 packages.
I suppose I can poke around and find where the first one ends up downloading
all the packages to, before the install, and then rsyncing the whole thing
over to the next box.
But I was wondering if there was a less hacky way to do this.

F24 starts in command line - SOLVED
by Temlakos
Everyone:
I thought I'd start a new thread, just to let everyone know I had a
solution to the problem of F24 starting with a command-line login, not
the graphical login I'd been used to.
I'll pass along these two commands, which come from Garry T. Williams:
sudo systemctl --force enable sddm.service
sudo systemctl start sddm.service
Run the second program only if you haven't started X already. If you
have, do a restart.
I had found sddm.service disabled on my setup. Maybe it always was, and
I never gave it a second's thought.
Anyway, F24 now starts as it should. And one thing I got back, is a
full-sized "firetray" icon for either Firefox or Thunderbird. The latter
is important: I now have back an accurate count of my unread messages,
and can make Thunderbird disappear and reappear at will. Firefox,
also--but Firefox gives me no other indicators.
Thus far, aside from a very old off-line password manager that no one
has maintained since F12, everything works as I'm used to seeing it
work. I'm running KDE, and now I get a complete KDE login, and can
directly select a user account, type in a password, and sign in, exactly
as I do with Windows. (WinDoze?)
I must say this dnf system upgrade program works better than I
anticipated. And much better than fedup ever did. It shows me my
progress in a way I can understand.
Thanks to the development team, and to all of you for your helpful
suggestion.

F24 starts in command line only
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Today I ran dnf system upgrade to go from F22 to F24. (Long story,
including RPMFusion not getting their free and nonfree repos on-line
until only the week just passed.)
The problem: my system starts with a command line. Rebooting will not
start my favorite desktop environment, which is KDE.
How do I start it consistently in graphic mode?

f24 postfix install DNF messages?
by Tom Horsley
The subject line had an unfortunate typo the last time I sent
this. Let's try again with a fixed subject and see if anyone
can tell me what the heck this means :-).
Running dnf install to pick up loads of things for my new
f24 partition, this nonsense appeared:
Installing : postfix-2:3.1.0-1.fc24.x86_64 1088/3005
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
Installing : qmobipocket-16.04.1-1.fc24.x86_64 1089/3005
Is this trying to tell me I can't run postfix as a service?
If so, why not?
If not, why did it want to print this gibberish and confuse me?
