Educated guess:  Paranoia that it'll aid competitors, or that someone
will find out they've copied someone else's work into their product.

From my perspective, of hardware that I'd want to use, graphics cards
and printer drivers are the worst offenders.  Virtually no manufacturer
builds a device that is based an an existing scheme that can be directly
supported and optionally improved, everything is a re-invention of the
wheel.

Hi,

It's partially functional, but not stable. You can use it to search and
change some values, but not a lot.

You need to do a lot of work to make the rest api currently usable. I
would say unless you are willing to get deep into some python 3 code, on
Fedora 24 or higher, you may not want to use it yet. If you are keen,
I'm happy to get some docs updated so you can give it a go. 

I'm glad you're interested in it though, and pay attention for more
updates in this space.

If you want to follow more, have a look at the 389-devel mailing list,
and look at our trac instance. A lot of the work at the moment is laying
the foundations for lib389 (our python library) so that the rest api
(rest389) is a thin layer on top. For the moment you may want to look at
what we are doing with the new command tools, as this will have similar
capabilities to rest in the future. 

Thanks,

Re: Taking a screenshot in GNOME desktop during a pulldown menu is open. How to?

[Ted Roche]

If you have GIMP installed, File, Create, Screenshot... allows you to
specify a time delay in order to toggle to the screen you want and
activate the menu.

Re: Taking a screenshot in GNOME desktop during a pulldown menu is open. How to?

[Eric Griffith]

Not sure about a GUI screenshot program, but you can call gnome-screenshot from 
terminal and it has a flag to wait X number of seconds. This would let call it, 
open the menu, and just wait the second or two after the menu opens for the 
screenshot to happen.

Cheers!
Eric

fyi, should be able set timer using screen shot program in accessories or
some such. This would allow you to set "stage".

konsole

[Walter Cazzola]

Dear all,
I'm using fedora 23 on my laptop and I was used to have always open two
konsole instances side by side each with different tabs and geometry
from working session to another.

But since the last update to konsole/KDE the two instances are not
saved/reopened correctly. At login I get two konsole instances with the
same geometry, in a different position and no tabs at all.

So now I have to restart them manually but:
  - the flag --geometry has been removed so I can't call konsole with
the desired geometry
  - the flag --tabs-from-file opens one extra tab (I've 14 tabs stored
but it opens 15 tabs instead)

Apart that it is a waste of time to manually restore the session work I
can't get it correct.

At the moment I'm using:
   >rpm -qa | grep konsole
   konsole5-16.08.1-2.fc23.x86_64
   konsole-part-4.14.3-10.fc23.x86_64
   konsole5-part-16.08.1-2.fc23.x86_64

and plasma 5.7.5

Is that possible to restore the old behavior and save/reopen my session
correctly?

Thank you in advance for any help

Walter

Your signature says you have F25. If so, then you're on the wrong list.
Unreleased systems should be discussed on the Fedora Test list.

Taking a screenshot in GNOME desktop during a pulldown menu is open. How to?

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,
having a problem: I need to take a screenshot on the gnome desktop (no 
wayland!)with alt+print or shift+print keys, during some pulldown menu 
of some window is opened,  but nothing happens. How can I achive this? 
The pulldown menu should be included in the screenshot. The screenshot 
is performed flawlessly if the pulldown menu is closed.


It seems that this is a X11 problem.

All comments are welcome.

Kind regards
