how to remove bootloader
by Amadeus W.M.
I have a pc which initially had a single drive with F23 installed on it,
running perfectly. Now I just added a second drive and I installed again
F23 on it, with the intent of using the first drive for data only. So now
I have two perfectly good F23s installed on separate drives and I can
boot either one of them. I want to
1) remove the bootloader from the first disk
2) reformat the system partitions on the first disk
3) keep and expand the data partitions from the first disk
I know how to do 2 and 3, but I need to know how to do 1 without losing
the partition table.
The reason I need to remove the bootloader is that by default, the pc
boots from the first drive. I can display the boot order (F12) and select
the 2nd drive manually upon boot, and I can also probably change the boot
order in the bios, but I recon there must be a software way to remove the
bootloader.
Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks!

ssh-agent not working after upgrade to fedora 23
by Richard Heck
I've googled around for this and found some similar complaints, but none
of the solutions mentioned in these threads works for me. So I'm asking
here.
With F22 on the same machine, my normal routine would be:
> ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/me/.ssh/id_dsa)
> ssh myserver.com
But now I get in response:
Enter passphrase for /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa:
And yet:
> ssh-add -L
ssh-dss
lots of stuff.... /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa
It seems that the agent is not being consulted or something.
I've check $SSH_AUTH_SOCK, and it seems to point to something reasonable:
> echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/tmp/ssh-8mkcEDB8W6mO/agent.1158
> ll /tmp/ssh-8mkcEDB8W6mO/agent.1158
srw-------. 1 me me 0 Apr 13 15:36 /tmp/ssh-8mkcEDB8W6mO/agent.1158
Any suggestions?

something is turning on fingerprint reader and leaving it on
by Neal Becker
Every since a recent update (f23), something is turning on my fingerprint
reader on my lenovo x1 carbon, when it's time to enter a password. But
unlike previously, where the reader would simply timeout and stop blinking
(I never actually use it), now it's just left on forever.

"Brave" new browser
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I recently became aware of a new browser called "Brave" which ditches ads (www.brave.com) or pays you to watch them and have been using it for a couple of days now. It is certainly faster than Firefox which is a great browser but freezes quite a bit.
But I was wondering: is the license appropriate enough to bring to Fedora? The license is Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 and is attached.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

dnf and yum caches
by Paolo Galtieri
This is a problem that has existed for a long time, and is starting to
get really annoying. I'm running F22 and when I do an update the
directories /var/cache/dnf and /var/cache/yum fill up and there doesn't
seem to be any way to clean them out.
cd /var/cache

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64
by Gordon Messmer
Is anyone else having trouble with
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64?
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-cebdf579ca
I updated this morning, and with that update applied, when I lock the
session and my monitors shut off, the system takes a very long time
(which varies, but 15 seconds seems like a minimum) to turn them back on
and show a password prompt. The logs also indicate that Xorg triggered
the OOM killer and terminated my session while I was out to lunch.
When I revert to an earlier Xorg package, the system works normally.

Fedora 23 multiple CPU cooling/temp errors every day
by CS DBA
Hi all;
Daily I see anywhere from 10 - 50 or more of these alerts via abrt. I'm
running Fedora 23 (KDE Spin) fully up to date on a Lenovo X1 carbon 3rd
gen. In all the alerts I see that the trip temp was exceeded, and then
dropped below the trip temp within 1 second.
Below is a sample of the output.
Should I be concerned? If not can I disable the popup alert? If so,
recommendations? should I consider cleaning & replacing the cpu thermal
compound?
Thanks in advance

Windows 10 virt-manager access Samba server
by Chris Murphy
computer1 = Fedora 23 Server, running samba-4.3.6
computer2 =Fedora 23 Workstation, virt-manager VM Windows 10
computer2 happens to be a Mac, and whether Fedora or OS X I can share
files just fine from the Samba server. UI wise both Fedora and OS X
are about as brain dead simple as it gets, which is what I expect in
the modern era.
Files > Other Locations > Windows Network > COLOR > F23S
Where COLOR is the workgroup set in the samba server's smb.conf and
F23S is the hostname. OS X doesn't seem to care about workgroup at
all, I never even see the word COLOR when I connect. But in any case
both of those OS's work.
Windows 10 in a VM, virt-manager running on Fedora 23 Workstation is
revisiting misery. It sees only itself in the Explorer under Network.
I read elsewhere the workgroups need to match among Windows machines,
so I change workgroup from WORKGROUP to COLOR. And f'n wow, really, in
2016 I have to reboot Windows 10 for network changes to take effect?
Stunning. So the VM comes up and it still doesn't see the Samba
server, and meanwhile Fedora Workstation can't either. Shutdown the
VM, Fedora Workstation can see the samba server again. Boot up the VM,
now it's gone.
So I change the workgroup in Windows 10 to DUNG, and reboot. Fedora
Worktstation can now see the Samba server whether the Windows 10 VM is
running or not.
But that ultimately doesn't fix the problem, I still can't see the
Samba server from the Windows 10 VM. Should this work? At this point
I'm just curious if it should work and can be made to work. But as a
work around I'm already likely to just setup httpd on the server and
copy the file over, fully into the VM which is what I was hoping to
avoid. But nothing is worth this kind of hassle.

journalctl/rsyslog pause/delay while logging
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora23 mail server that's been working for quite some time.
I have rsyslog installed and configured to log mail to
/var/log/maillog. It's never had a problem, but for some reason
yesterday it started intermittently stop logging for about three
minutes, then catch up with the three minutes of missed data before it
begins to log normally again.
It then appears to log for another few minutes, then repeat this cycle.
Looking at the logs with "journalctl -f" shows no such lag with
logging, but I can't use journalctl for this project.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Photo app's -
by Bob Goodwin
.
Is there an dnf downloadable application
that will permit me to extract only one,
or a few, of the pictures in my camera?
The only application I have that works
well for me is gphoto2 and it seems to
do all or nothing.
This morning I needed to snap a picture
to put into a message but first I had to
download 262 images when all I cared
about was the last six I had just taken.
Perhaps I don't know the proper command?
Any suggestionsappreciated,
Bob
