alt + above_tab changes work-spaces, how to disable?
by Digimer
Hi all,
With Fedora 23 using the "Power Alt+Tab" extension, <alt> + <~> and
<super> + <~> (~ == 'above_tab'), gnome cycles through the work spaces
instead of the other windows in the active application. This wasn't the
case in Fedora 22.
Does anyone know how to disable the workspace cycling? I tried looking
in dconf-editor -> org > gnome > desktop > wm > keybindings without
luck. I am not sure how to look into how extensions work, and I realize
this might be an issue with the extension instead of gnome itself. If
that is the case, any pointer on how to look into extensions would be
much appreciated, too.
Thanks for any help! This is making me pull my hair out...

Virtualbox -
by Bob Goodwin
Using Virtualbox in an updated F23 I've
installed VM's for Fedora, Centos, and
Scientific Linux.
Fedora 21 xfce live because I happened
to have it handy, the others from the
DVD iso's.
Fedora21 boots and runs as expected. the
others boot and run with a text screen
but startx reports "command not found"
and a ping to other than localhost,
reports network unreachable.
What am I missing?

Fedora 23 and 4K monitors?
by Justin Moore
Does anyone have Fedora 23 working with a 4K monitor? Last week I got an
Asus PB287Q monitor, but got bit by the "hardware loses signal when monitor
goes into sleep" issue. I'm returning that monitor and would like to get
another one, but am hoping to find a good success story. I'm running Fedora
23 with a GeForce 750 Ti card using the NVidia drivers. Does anyone have a
working 4K setup with this or similar hardware?
Thanks,

uhm, I' ve checked and in what should be the /boot dir I' ve
efi
|-->EFI
|-->BOOT
|-->BOOTX64.EFI
|-->fallback.efi
|-->fedora
|-->BOOT.CSV
|-->fonts
|-->unicode.pf2
|-->gcdx64.efi
|-->grubx64.efi
|-->MokManager.efi
|-->shim.efi
|-->shim-fedora.efi
|-->mach_kernel
|-->System
|-->Library
|-->CoreServices
|-->SystemVersion.plist
as far as I know everything is there or is it not?
I've also checked the options related to UEFI in my BIOS and seems that
UEFI and Secure boot are both disabled.
This are the related options:
General
Boot Sequence
Legacy (this flagged)
UEFI (this is not flagged)
Advanced Boot Options
Enable Legacy Option ROMS (this is selected and the note says "This
option is not allowed if secure boot is enabled")
System Configuration
Integrated NIC
Enabled UEFI Network Stack (this is not flagged)
Enabled w/PXE (this is flagged)
Secure Boot
Disabled (flagged)
Could be that I missed something? Any other idea?

mlocate updatedb not running from cron, mlocate.cron not installed
by Neal Becker
I noticed mlocate updatedb is not running. I believe there should be
mlocate.cron installed into /etc/cron.daily
repoquery reports no such file.
How do I get fedora's version of mlocate package to run updatedb daily? Why
isn't it installed this way?

command line ogg123 in Fedora 23 does not exist
by Antonio Olivares
Dear folks,
I installed Fedora 23 and copied some old ogg vorbis files I had around. I wanted to play them(without a gui), amorok plays them, but prefer to use command line. Can't install mplayer as dont have working internet ATM on this machine :( . I did a
$ which ogg123
and it returned no ogg123 in ....
I tried playing them with amorok and it plays fine, but I would prefer the old way to play the files. Which package do I need to install to have this functionality?
Best Regards,
Antonio A. Olivares

Why is mysql running?
by Stephen Davies
On my Fedora 22 system, ps -aef shows:
someuser 3097 3086 0 18:32 ? 00:00:01 /usr/libexec/mysqld
--defaults-file=/home/someuser/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
--datadir=/home/someuser/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/
--socket=/tmp/akonadi-someuser.xEIhbs/mysql.socket
I have never explicitly installed mysql (I use PostgreSQL for all my real
database requirements) so wonder why this is there.
Can I safely zap this and, if so, how?
Cheers and all the best for the silly season,
Stephen

Users cannot log in using sddm on Fedora 23
by Andrej Podzimek
Hello!
After a Fedora 23 installation, users can't log in with sddm. A "login failed" message is displayed by sddm, sometimes preceded by a short switch to the tty and back. Users can log into a text console just fine. Also starting a Plasma desktop using startx works perfectly fine.
Because sddm's logs report helper failures with codes 2 and 15, I tried this:
# cp -a /usr/libexec/sddm-helper /usr/libexec/sddm-helper-binary
# cat > /usr/libexec/sddm-helper <<-WRAPPER
#!/bin/bash
strace -f /usr/libexec/sddm-helper-binary "$@" 2>/tmp/sddm
WRAPPER
Here's the entire strace output obtained from a login attempt using the wrapper above: https://andrej.podzimek.org/dell-strace-0.txt The strace dump shows (among other glitches) something like a file descriptor leak. But the most important thing seems to be the following:
[pid 1818] execve("/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd", ["/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd", "andrej", "nullok"], [/* 0 vars */]) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
[pid 1820] execve("/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd", ["/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd", "andrej", "nullok"], [/* 0 vars */]) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
I tried to make /etc/shadow readable, but that didn't help. Also tried to do setenforce 0 and that didn't help either. :( Last but not least, rebooting with SELinux in permissive mode does away with the EPERM error, but sddm logins hang forever, with no chance to retry.
I looked at recent sddm bugs such as this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265813 But I don't think other sddm issues could be directly related, because the failure pattern is different, i.e., I can't see any segfaults here and my user IDs are in the correct range (uid 1001 in the attached log). :(
What's wrong here? Why does sddm fail on Fedora 23? The hardware, just if it happens to matter:
DMI: Dell Inc. Inspiron 7548/0AM6R0, BIOS A00 11/19/2014
