How to change id and group to the user
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Experts,
as you probably know (from another thread) I've just installed Fedora 23 on
my dell m6800 and I have a new problem.
I have let the installer create my user and it has given it uid 1000 and
gid 1000. This is the standard behavior and I'm used to change it by
manually edit /etc/group and /etc/passwd but this time this behavior has
broken my user. I can't enter at the kde login (before in the splash screen
it was asking for the password of my user than asking for a password but no
user was specified and I got a login erro when I use my passowrd).
Also removing the user with userdel and readd it with useradd didn't solve
the issue. The only fix I found was to reinstall the whole system. But now
I still have the need to change the user uid and its group number. Which is
the correct way?
Thank you again for the help and Merry Christmas
Walter

partition management in dual-boot laptop / limited space
by Ian Malone
It's been a while since I touched LVM, I don't use it on my personal
machines since I don't need what it provides and when it was first
introduced in Fedora I found it slowed things down a bit.
Right now I'm changing my laptop to a 250GB SSD (from the 100GB it had
previously). It dual boots and was a little tight for space (since
just getting Win7 installed means about 40GB for the partition).
What's there now is approximately:
- windows c:\ 40GB NTFS
- linux ~30GB ext4, / and /home
- swap 2GB
- /boot 500MB
- shared NTFS remainder (~30GB, no, those don't quite match 100GB total)
* normally on dual boot I put shared data on NTFS, FAT has too many
problems (like file size, naming issues), and I don't really trust
windows not to mess up ext4. There does seem to be a bit of a
performance hit using NTFS from Linux, my desktop has various extra
partitions for different things.
I'm thinking of adding most of the extra space to the shared
partition, but also considering whether it's worth having a separate
/home partition now there's a bit of space for it. But not certain in
advance what the balance of those should be, so it'd be nice to be
able to adjust it after the fact if needed, and I'm wondering what the
most painless way of doing that will be. The nuclear option of course
is take copies of everything, recreate those two partitions and then
copy back on. Is there any less drastic approach?

OT: On dual boot system - need to expand windoze partition ...
by JD
by catenation to a partition on an external drive.
I do not want to shrink the fedora partition, but I could
if necessary; in which case does fedora have a partition
resizer?
I know I can back up the fedora partition, resize it and
and restore from backup. But that could take many hours
of down time. I was wondering if there is a util that
can do it to an unmounted fedora partition.
Thanx.

F23 login fails after logout
by Robert Arkiletian
1) boot
2) login
3) logout
4) login (fails with correct password) I'm simply dumped back to the gdm
login screen
if I kill the remaining processes of the user which was logged in (systemd
and something else) with pkill -U user , then I can log back in.
Anyone experience this or have a fix?

802.11n WIFI speeds
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
Does Fedora/Linux support the faster than 54 Mbit/sec 802.11n speeds?
My OpenWRT AP has a status page that claims that the 5 Ghz radio is
configured for a 150 Mbits/sec 40Mhz (double-wide) channel. I'm only
seeing a 54 Mbit/sec throughput over WIFI though. (Over ethernet to the
same router I'm seeing the expected 180 Mbits/sec to the internet.)
This is what lshw(1) has to say about the wifi card:
*-network

vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0

resources: irq:52 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:b2000000-b2003fff
Does this ring any bells? I can easily believe that the faster speeds
are proprietary extensions but figured I'd check.

Scroll Bars not Working Properly in F22 Applications in KDE
by Stephen Morris
I have an issue certain applications not displaying the scroll bars
properly.
I am using the upstream Nightly version of Firefox and the upstream
Daily version of Thunderbird. Both of these display the vertical scroll
bar permanently, but neither of them display the top and bottom arrows.
Another application I have looked at is Gedit which only displays the
vertical scroll bar when you mouse over it, but it doesn't display the
top and bottom arrows either. I get these issues irrespective of what
KDE theme I use.
Looking at the KDE Settings App it displays the scroll bars with top and
bottom arrows fine.
The Kwin script to force window decorations on GTK+ apps is active.
Does anyone have any ideas why the above mentioned applications don't
show the arrows but the KDE Settings Application does show the arrows,
and whether or not there is anyway to rectify it? From memory I did not
have this issue in F21 and F22 was installed from scratch from the live
DVD because the F21->F22 upgrade process does not work on my system (the
upgrade process wants to run the install from the Grub menu and on my
system my wireless network is not active at that point and cannot be
made active because of required drivers).
regards,
Steve

No second monitor - Fedora23 KDE spin
by CS DBA
All;
I'm running Fedora 23, KDE spin. I've fully updated my system. several
updated back I could plug in a second monitor, go to system settings -->
display and click on the second monitor to 'enable' it
However a few updates back this functionality stopped working. Now I
plug in the HDMI cable, go to system settings --> Display and it only
show the laptop screen.
I've installed the Cinnamon desktop and it seems to work flawlessly per
auto-adding the second monitor as soon as I plug the HDMI cable in. I
suspect this confirms that it's a KDE issue and not a Kernel issue, but
I'm not 100% sure.
Any thoughts on debugging this?
I'm running on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd gen, lspci listing below, thanks
in advance

NUT config for Powercool UPS
by Gary Stainburn
I've just bought a Powercool UPS from my local supplier as it seemed a very
good price for my needs - 1 headless server for home automation etc.
However, I can't get it to work with NUT. Google hasn't returned anything
useful.
I've checked (too late) the hardware compatibility list and it's not on, but
there are sections on generic USB connections but I can't seem to make any
progress with this.
Before I return this unit, and spend much more on a compatible unit, can
anyone help me.
