Re: Power flag problem
You can place a PWR_FLAG symbol on the relevant net. You can find this in symbol folder called "Power". Usually, GND also needs one.

Re: Power flag problem
You need to connect a power flag symbol to each of the two wires.

Re: DB15 connector symbol
Indeed. For some reason, they all got to be called 'DB', perhaps because the 25-contact size shell was so widely used. And before the high-density range was introduced, the pin-count and shell-size

Re: DB15 connector symbol
Oops; I actually lied. The SHELL size is indicated by the character after the D; turns out that there are multiple pin densities that can be fitted to each shell size.

Is there anywhere a symbol for the DB15 15-contact connector? I know that I could make one, but its geometry is not simple.
