I can't remember seeing any of those on sale, anywhere. Back in my days of using tapes for video production, I had preferred suppliers and I'd order in bulk. But since then, I haven't had a bulk need so I just wait for a good price on a brand I want in the local shops. That's getting harder to do, so I might have to go back to ordering them. Thing is, the local pro suppliers aren't really bothered with supporting this, pro work usually goes around on a hard drive, or USB stick.

I wonder if there is a correlation? Maybe they know they're /that/ much better than the others, and have found people are willing to pay for it.

Re: kernel-3.19.3-200.fc21.x86_64 fails to boot
I once had an akmod screw up somehow, and was never able to figure out how to convince it to rebuild something it was convinced it already built. I eventually solved the problem by booting in multi-user mode, logging in to the console as root, uninstalling everything named *nvidia*, then reinstalling the nvidia driver from scratch. That magically made it work again. Don't know if it would solve your problem or not, but might be worth a try (if you haven't already tried it, of course). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I seem to have both, which I thinks means that the downloaded one is preventing the build from happening. It's not clear how to switch, other than just uninstalling the kmod version.

Check if thunderbird's localstore.rdf contains the string "fullscreen". To do that 1. Quit thunderbird. 2. Do a grep fullscreen ~/.thunderbird//localstore.rdf (replace "" with the actual name of the profile folder - probably something like "wxyz1234.default") If the grep command above doesn't produce any output, the cause of the problem is something else and I don't any further idea. If it does generate output, renaming localstore.rdf should put thunderbird back into windowed mode. Instead of renaming localstore.rdf you could use the text editor of your choice to change the part of the file that looks like sizemode="fullscreen" to sizemode="normal" This way you won't lose other UI settings as you do if you rename or delete localstore.rdf. -- Regards mks -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

We'd go through a couple of hundred blanks a quarter. From that experience I've deduced that the best predictor of success with optical media is country of manufacture.

At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable fedora 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower).

Ah, but it /has/ been from you doing something. Your non-standard use of the shiftkey is the trigger (non-standard, in that you're not using it to immediately type capital letters). Personally, I think using the shift key as the trigger is a rather poor choice. Since people typing a row of capital letters may use it instead of the caps-lock, or they may be holding shift to mouse-select several items. > This happens despite my having disable all the assistive option in the > settings Accessibility applet. It looks like you hadn't, yet, turned off assistive features (because of those annoying problems mentioned above). As I recall, hanging on to the shift key is for activating some specific features of an assistive technology, rather than the overall on/off of assistive technologies. Turn off the master switch, and the individual features are permanently disabled. Since I turned off the overall thing on my installation, I haven't had the individual features pop up and annoy me. If the feature had been activated at the logon screen, I think it carries over into the session. Otherwise, you'd turn them on, post logon. For what it's worth, I'm running the MATE desktop on Fedora 20, on this particular computer. I don't like the way the Gnome 3 desktop works. An alternative thing for you to follow up: Find the keyboard preferences, see if it has an accessibility section, and options for accessibility features being controlled by hotkeys. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.18.9-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 9 17:04:05 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

Media lists a series of speeds that it supports, the burner only has so-many different power levels that the laser can be operated at, the burning software needs to take account of it. To change burn speeds, the laser power need to be adjusted (faster speed, more laser power; slower speeds, dimmer laser). Oddly, I began to see discs that couldn't do 1× burning, several years ago. Which immediately puts them out of use for many standalone video DVD recorders, the older ones that went direct to disc in real time. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.18.9-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 9 17:04:05 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

But regardless of how well media may be regarded, you often need to make compatibility tests with your own equipment. Many years ago, I tried out various different brands, on purpose. Some were just awful (a friend used to buy the cheapest, with nearly a 30% failure rate - around 1 in 3 discs needed to be thrown away). I found Verbatim to be the best with my equipment, and it was a significantly noticeable difference. Compared to others, a freshly inserted disc was recognised the fastest (so it was easier to focus on and read the codes), some will sit there going whiz-whur, whiz-whur in the drive, for prolonged periods, while it attempts to figure out what's being inserted. I can only remember having about three discs fail during burn in the last several years (which is a hell of lot better than brands my friend has used). The discs have remained easily readable many years later (and that is a fault that a lot of people don't even think about). While some people may only require a backup to last a few weeks before it becomes too out-of-date to be useful, other people need long-term archival storage. It's getting harder to go out and buy discs, retail, here. I suspect because the movie piracy black market has changed to watching them as files on a computer, rather than inserting a disc into a player plugged into a television set. There are only a few disc varieties available, mostly terribly cheapies. It's also harder to buy boxes or sleeves, than it used to be. It's more than a bit annoying to not have something to put your discs in. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.18.9-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 9 17:04:05 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
