If it was the last item of the transaction then your system should be
fine. Probably some plugin hanged - like leaves plugin.

This is different cleanup. You don't have to call it.

I believe that it's not a bug problem. You should be fine,
maybe some plugin didn't write something or the package
was not written into dnf database.

Next time you experience this give DNF a few more minutes,
then report it, please [1] with /var/log/rpm.dnf.log
and /var/log/dnf.log attached.

I currently have 7. Admittedly two are blank right now. One is playing
radio, one is displaying a standard operating procedure, another is a
website used for that SOP, yet another (which I could probably close
now) is a data repository and the final one is this email. The day is
still fairly early. If I'm researching a topic I may have six or more
open just for that, a page of search results and five or so pages at
any one time which might be relevant.

looking for a good "git/gerrit on fedora" online tutorial

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i've offered to put together a basic presentation on how to set up
git and gerrit (in my case, on fedora), and i've collected a few
moderately decent tutorials that i can cannibalize to get the final
result, but if there's something already out there that covers that
topic, that would be just ducky.

  i'm after something that both sets up the server side and databases,
then shows developers how to check out and configure to start using
gerrit as part of their workflow.

  i have a good chunk of this already, but has anyone already written
something like this specifically for fedora? thanks.

My hunch is you were swapping which caused the issue.  Hundreds of tabs
should not be a problem.  I regularly have that many tabs open without
any problems (197 at the moment).  It could be one of the tabs was
consuming a lot of memory forcing FF to swapping.

I think you will have much better response with the fedora devel list

this.

I don't have a signup address, as I read it via newsreader Pan from

gmane it is called linux.redhat.fedora.devel.

Okay.  I just read the thread, and I see you got no joy there, as your
question was considered inappropriate. There are people occasionally on
this list that are skilled in spec files. (I'm not)  Perhaps one of
them will help you.

I don't have this hardware and haven't solved your problem.  But I have
a workaround to suggest.  You could go into the X kbmap that you use,
say
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
and add the keymappings you want to have directly.  The intl version of
the kbmap, has all modifiers enabled, so you might find some
combinations that are irrelevant to you, and overwrite them with your
needs.

There is obviously a learning curve to do it this way.  This is what
xbindkeys or xmodmap should be doing, and hiding from you, but aren't,
for some reason.  Maybe they will work if you enable the intl keyboard,
and then modify mappings you won't need.

An even more involved solution is to create a custom keymap, a major
undertaking even if you copy your current keymapping and modify it.
The advantage is that you can transfer it to your next iteration of
Fedora, while with the simpler solution you will have to edit the kbmap
file every time you upgrade.

That's not quite correct.  The problem is not that the packets wouldn't 
be accepted by your client, or that your client would not reply to ARP 
requests.  The Buffalo device at 1.1.1.1 would accept packets from your 
client (unless rp_filter is enabled and it had no default route, but 
let's ignore that), but it would lack a route back to the client.  The 
Buffalo device would never send an ARP request, nor would it send 
packets in return.

Thank you for your answers. Yes, I have been bumped from devel to
users. I knew for sure it would be difficult to find an answer here,
thus why I posted @devels.

I found a way to solve my issue. Furthermore, someone from devel list
replied me privatly and gave me some hint. Unfortunately, no one could
benefit from the solutions...sad.
To sum up, best in fact was to post in devel list, even if some found
my post inapropriate.

Yea, I realized that after sending off the msg.  It would never even
send that arp request because it wouldn't see the src address as a local
network hence no arp.

Instead of using htop, could you show your results with smem? Run
`smem -k` for human-friendly units. To see specifically gnome-shell or
firefox:

 smem -P gnome-shell$ -k
 smem -P firefox$ -k

Look at the USS and PSS values USS is, roughly, memory which
wouldn't be used if just that process weren't running. PSS divides
shared memory among processes using it.

FWIW, on my F23 system right now, up for six days, I get this for gnome-shell:

  PID User Command Swap  USS  PSS  RSS 
 1947 mattdm   /usr/bin/gnome-shell   0   164.1M   177.4M   219.8M

If you're just jumping in right now, I highly recommend looking at Red
Hat's Project Atomic  (and, hey, it's on
topic after all - Fedora Atomic Host).

This focuses on the app deployment story, not just "basically a hosted
vm, but with an api instead of a web control panel". And it sounds like
you're looking for the full deal. :)

gnome-shell-extension-openweather not working

[Andre Robatino]

For most of the past day, gnome-shell-extension-openweather is not working,
and it just says "Loading" when clicking on it. If I go to the website, and
enter the zip code for my city, it shows the forecast, but the city link is
just "http://openweathermap.org/city/0"; which points to "City of London,
GB". Was there an API change or something?
