What did you change?  I just went through all of dconf-editor listed

When you open gedit in Fed20 + Gnome-3.10 a gedit icon appears in the
top bar. If you click on this and choose 'preferences' you will see
under 'Text Wrapping' the entries: 'enable text wrapping' and 'do not
split words over two lines'. Is this what you are looking for.

I assume you are using standard Gnome-3.10 and not "classic mode".
I know nothing about "classic mode" (don't use it).

Is this icon not visible in your install?


Fresh install.  Have not applied the updates yet.


Please, do it right now.


I see that gedit icon
on the top bar once gedit is running.  It has a down arrow right
next to
it.  I assume that lets me switch between copies of gedit if more than
one is open.


Why don't you try instead of assume? The down arrow is not for
switching between different copies of the same application, but for a
drop down menu. You should click on it to see its behavior by
yourself, it is cheap!!


I DID try clicking on the arrow and nothing happened.  Since I only had
one gedit opened, I tried to figure it out.  Now that you say this is
what it does, I realized where I MAY be having troubles.  I am in
terminal, sued, and running gedit to edit the yum.conf.d files! So I
opened terminal regular and ran gedit & and sure enough it works and I
can set preferences no problem for ME and turn off word wrap.

But I cannot do it for root's use of gedit to edit config files.  :(


You are right about this, because I opened /etc/yum.conf with gedit
using sudo and I'm not able to open the drop down menu. Maybe this
behavior is intentional, but I'm not sure.


So, I should give it a try and just put up with the wrapping. Afterall
vi wraps, but actually does it smarter.

I can see why, as the top bar is running as ME and should NOT let ME set
preferences for gedit as root.  But that begs the question on HOW to
change the preferences for root.


Anyway, it is safer to use something like VIM to edit files as root, I 
only tested gedit because I saw your email, but as root I use only VIM 
to edit files :)

Hi Jorge,


Hi,

I'm running Fedora 19 & GNOME Classic Session and wondered if there was

Take a look at this extension:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/721/gnome-shell-open-terminal/


- a workspace extension so that I could see all the workspaces on the
bottom right hand.  Right now, with the classic session, I have to click

I'm looking something like the old days.

I searched the extensions website but can't find any for these.

You can find here the different commits:

Hi Jon,

When open gnome-abrt, to the left you have the list of packages, and if 
you click on one of them, then to the right you get some description and

 Hi Jerome,

 Do you know what is the difference between this library
that you
 have compiled and the packages in Fedora? I'm asking
because I think
 it is the same project.

 I also have a Validity Sensors, which also doesn't work,
but mine is
 a bit different than yours:

idProduct  0x0008 VFS300 Fingerprint Reader

 Would you show me the steps you followed to compile the
library?

Would you show me the steps you followed to compile the library?

German,

I do not think that you need to compile the newest driver for your
sensor as it already exists for your hardware.  Just to make sure,
please provide the output to the command below.

grep 138a /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-fprint-autosuspend.rules

Nevertheless, I merely followed the instructions in INSTALL file that
came with the driver.

https://github.com/maffmeier/fprint_vfs5011/blob/master/INSTALL

In my case, I simple ran the command below.

./configure; make; make install

regards,
j

Thanks for your prompt reply Jerome.

This is the output you asked for:

$ grep 138a /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-fprint-autosuspend.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001",

Don't top-post, s'il vous plaît.

That is a library part - 'libfprint',
follows a service part - 'fprintd'. ;)

poma

I didn't realize that the link to fprintd was not created by the
libfprint install.  I created a symlink for libfprint.so.0 and fprintd
works now.  Woohoo!  Thanks.

Hi Jerome,

Do you know what is the difference between this library that you have 
compiled and the packages in Fedora? I'm asking because I think it is 
the same project.

I also have a Validity Sensors, which also doesn't work, but mine is a 
bit different than yours:

$ lsusb | grep -i finger
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300 
Fingerprint Reader

$ lsusb -d 138a:0008 -v
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300 
Fingerprint Reader

Device Descriptor:
  bLength18
  bDescriptorType 1
  bcdUSB   1.10
  bDeviceClass  255 Vendor Specific Class
  bDeviceSubClass16
  bDeviceProtocol   255
  bMaxPacketSize0 8
  idVendor   0x138a Validity Sensors, Inc.
  idProduct  0x0008 VFS300 Fingerprint Reader
  bcdDevicec.90
  iManufacturer   0
  iProduct0
  iSerial 1
  bNumConfigurations  1
..

These are the packages I have installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep fprint
fprintd-0.5.0-1.fc19.x86_64
fprint_demo-0.4-12.fc19.1.x86_64
fprintd-pam-0.5.0-1.fc19.x86_64
libfprint-0.5.0-2.fc19.x86_64

The package in Fedora crashes when I'm configuring my fingerprint. Would 
you show me the steps you followed to compile the library?

Just for info, is the grub2 "without themed" the new F19 default, or

It is essential for the boot loader to boot the kernel, not to play
disco. :)

Poma, he asked a different thing, and "just for info" :)

Marco, I'm not sure if it is the default behavior, but I did a fresh

About Grub, that is what I did: first I installed grub2-starfield-theme
and then I modified the file /etc/default/grub by adding the following
lines:

GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"

Finally, you should reboot to see the theme in action.


Hi, I think you need an additional step before rebooting:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (don't forget to do a backup copy
of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg!)

Kind regards

Joachim Backes



Oh indeed, I forgot about that part, sorry :)

Found it!. The libXcursor update installed a new copy of
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

I had edited it to say Inherits=Bluecurve,
but the new rpm put it back to Adwaita.

I guess I need to add this to the stuff I automagically
re-edit in my after yum hook:

http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/game/Mjolnir.html


Hi Tom,

You can put the configuration in your home directory:

$ cat .icons/default/index.theme
Inherits=dmz

So in that way it is safe and won't be overwrite with any update.

This is not a F19 problemit's a YUM/RPM problem which happened
during a system crash. The crash I can explain,
the other problem I can't yet fix.



Frank,

Sorry but this happened in a F19 system with F19 packages, so please ask

It might use the tagging info from Fedora tagger

Yes, it takes me to nirvana. It shows me what software is well written

Have you thought about programming a "simple" graphical interface without
any dependency at all? I you do it, I promise I package it for Fedora :)


Once upon a time, I did, just by using Zenity, a tool to add GUIs to
Bash scripts done by a guy at Sun Microsystems, Glynn Foster
https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/2.91/index-info.html.en

Such script worked with domain name registrations, and it stopped
working the time the registrar changed its web page (it did a lot of
ugly scrapping of html). But it only needed zenity, nothing else, and
certainly not 100MB of crud installed.


All the best, abrazos,
Germán.


In the end, German, it's a free world, and I'm free to complain if I
think some software is not designed as it should. It might end up
encourage others to "fix it", or design a better replacement. In fact,
had livecd-creator been _statically linked_ and available on the
LiveCD, I'd have just run 'livecd-creator' from a shell window and
this thread would have never happened.

In the end, German, do you know how I fixed it? here's the recipe, I
used TUXBOOT, which transfers ISO images to pen drives with a friendly
GUI, and doesn't need the same tons of deps as LiveCD-creator does.

I got it from here.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tuxboot/old/tuxboot-linux-39-i686?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ftuxboot%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1368243790&use_mirror=ufpr

Of couse, all weren't roses... it wants to be run as root, and Fedora
by default does not run GUI apps as root. So I had to do

1. xhost SI:localuser:root

and then install the p7zip-plugins package that it requires but is not
on the F18 repos.

2. yum install 
ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/18/Everything/i386/os/Packages/p/p7zip-plugins-9.20.1-4.fc18.i686.rpm

Finally, I had to run it with beesu.

But it certainly didn't need 100MB of deps installed.

As usual, just my $0.02 worth of opinion ;)

But... does it work if you don't have qt/kde installed?

Hi Dario,

Did you find a solution?


For now I rec video/audio via this command line:


gst-launch ximagesrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue ! vp8enc quality=10 speed=2 ! 
mux. pulsesrc ! audio/x-raw-int ! queue ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! mux. 
webmmux name=mux ! filesink location=/tmp/screencast.webm


Found here:

Using that pipeline it can't even start recording with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R, 
at least using gnome-shell 3.6.3.1 :(

Hi Dario,

Did you find a solution?

My recollection from looking at this last year is there's not a
trivial fix for this due to the signal specifics in the shell
recorder. However, an easy workaround is to load the screencast into
something like pitivi, record a narration over it, and render the
existing video with a new sound track. This actually is a good
method, because it's not often that people do great narration while
they're carrying out the tasks in the video.

Thanks Paul for your suggestion :)

Germán.

How to record via ctrl+alt+shift+r, video and audio together ?

I have fount this trick:

But the command for set the "org.gnome.shell.recorder pipeline" key:

videorate !  vp8enc quality=10 speed=2 ! mux. pulsesrc ! \
audio/x-raw-int ! queue !  audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! \
mux. webmmux name=mux"


... do not work, and break the recording, likely this setting is for
gstreamer-0.10, bud f18 use gstreamer1-1.x, true?.

This is home page of shell recorder, but there is nothing for enable
audio recording.
http://developer.gnome.org/shell/stable/shell-shell-recorder.html

Someone have suggest?

Many thanks

is there a way to play swf files (version > 9) in Fedora?

2013-05-02 Thread Germán A. Racca


Hi list!

Not that I'm a fan of gaming, but I discovered the web site y8.com by 
chance and I liked the games, and they even offer a download option.


The games are in swf format, and even having gnash installed, not all of 
the games I downloaded are working. Reading the info for gnash I can see 
that "Gnash is capable of reading up to SWF v9...". Taking a look at the 
files I downloaded:


$ file *.swf
AmericanRacing.swf:  Macromedia Flash data (compressed), 
version 14
coasterracer2.swf:   Macromedia Flash data (compressed), 
version 10
Formula Racer 2012_May_4th_2012.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), 
version 10
virtual_drums.swf:   Macromedia Flash data (compressed), 
version 6


In fact, the only one that plays nicely is virtual_drums.swf. Question 
is: how can I play the other files whose versions are > 9 in Fedora? All 
that I found in Google refers to Adobe Player, but the download links 
are for the flash plugin for the web browser.


Any help is appreciated.

Germán.

The command is 7za, see man 7za.  But that won't help you; at least the
man page does not list as a supported archive type.  As mentioned by
others, try unrar; see man unrar for details.



7zip's website says that it supports the RAR format on Linux, but only for 
extracting.  You *should* be able to extract with
p7zip-plugins rpm installed and then use "7z x file.rar" (note, *not* 7za x 
file.rar) but for some reason the folks that built the
p7zip-plugins rpm didn't compile the 7z.so with the rar format plugin in it.  
FWIW, I grabbed the 9.20.1 source code for 7zip, built
it in about 5 minutes, and can use the 7z that built from there with for 
extracting rar archives  with no problem so I'm not sure
why the Fedora folks don't build 7z with the needed plugins in 7z.so.

Kevin


"for some reason the folks that built the p7zip-plugins rpm didn't 
compile the 7z.so with the rar format plugin in it"


p7zip packagers explain that in the spec file:

"RAR sources removed since their license is incompatible with the LGPL"

"The instructions said..." what instructions??

I think you need to install unrar from rpmfusion to extract .rar files.

Taking a SWAG here

F18 contains the package python3-sip.  Maybe GNS3 requires python3

Already tried to install GNS3 with addiction python3-sip but failed.
Continued requiring python-sip.


Because the package you are trying to install (from pkgs.org) has the 
following explicit requirements:


Requires:   python-qt4
Requires:   python-sip
Requires:   dynamips

and they all are wrong for Fedora.

See my answer in the Fedora Brazil mailing list.

Pure leaf package removal bears the risk that you remove something that no
other package depends on but _you_ need it.

I have recently bought an external hard drive of 1 Tb capacity (Samsung
M3). I made a backup of my home directory with the following command:

$ cd /home
$ rsync -avh --delete --stats --exclude=*.vdi --exclude=*.iso german
/run/media/german/SAMSUNG/backup-skytux/

but it turns out that permissions on files/directories were not
preserved in the destination, and then I new that this was because of
the original NTFS format of the hd, so I formatted it to ext4 file
system using gparted.

On one hand, now the contents of my external hd are:

$ ll /run/media/german/SKYTUX/
total 16
drwx--. 2 root root 16384 Feb  6 15:51 lost+found

On the other hand, gparted gives me this information:

Size: 931.50 GiB
Used: 14.84 GiB (2%)
Unused: 916.66 GiB (98%)

So, my questions are:

1) I can't create any folder in the hd because it is owned by the root
user, and as I showed above there is this lost+found directory that I
don't understand why it is there. Is this ok?


Yes.


Should I be root to be
able to create/remove files/folder in my external hd??


No.  Create a scratch dir on the hd (as root) and do

chmod 1777 

This will create a directory that any user can write to.


2) What is this 14.84 GB used in the hd? Is this used by the ext4 file
system?


Yes.  Inodes, reserved space, etc.

Andrew.


Thanks Andrew for your prompt reply and for clarifying my doubts.

The creation of a directory using chmod 1777 works fine!

Hi Andre,

The package adwaita-gtk3-theme is not a "noarch" rpm because it includes
the adwaita engine theme. If you see its contents (rpm -ql
adwaita-gtk3-theme) you will see the library "libadwaita.so".

HTH,
Germán.







I've found that any theme that I installed in my $HOME/.themes folder do not
show up.  So I moved my .themes folder to Themes and linked the themes
to /usr/share/themes/, then they show up.



You can also link ~/.themes (where themes are downloaded) to 
~/.local/share/themes, this is how it works in my F18.

You could look on gimp.org or try asking on the gimp user list:

It is not a Gimp problem, it is a Fedora problem.  So I ask in the
Fedora list.

Hola Lailah,

Packages in Fedora are under free and open source licenses, which is a 
clearly established issue, just see the Fedora wiki about licensing 
guidelines... so I can't see how this is a Fedora problem :(

The question is when you receive mail doews the spam automatically end

Only one 1) works fine regarding with the extensions
It means that I can "add to panel" and select

My TeXLive 2012 works fine, and I don't have any texlive-preview package 
in my repos:


$ yum --enablerepo=updates-testing search texlive-preview
Warning: No matches found for: texlive-preview
No Matches found

So where do your texlive-preview package comes from?

Maybe you should disable updates-testing repo, it's not a good thing to 
keep it enabled.


HTH,
Germán.

Tomboy stores its notes in .local/share/tomboy according to

.local/share/gnote.  Perhaps you can create the tomboy directory and
copy from latter to former and see if cherrytree picks that up.

Well I copied the gnote directory in to a tomboy directory.
However, I can't get cherrytree to display a directory (i.e. .local)
which is hidden. How would one do that?


I think you don't need to copy from one directory to the other, just
leave notes in gnote directory (~/.local/share/gnote), then select
import from tomboy, and in the open file dialog just right click and
select something like 'show hidden files' ;-)

HTH,
Germán.

It automaticly picks .local/share/tomboy to import if it exists.


Well... but you said you don't have tomboy and want to import gnote 
notes, and also you don't know how to select hidden folders... that's 
why my answer...

My second attempt is to copy the tomboy directory to /tmp. Now the filwe
is available to cherrytree but clicking open has no effect,

So how can the transfer of databases be done?

I don't know an smplayer2 - I only know of smplayer 0.8.0... Did you
mean that one?

There isn't afaik. I had never heard of it, but I liked what I saw when
you mailed about it. So I had a look. The text in the "install.txt" in
the download from the smplayer website is not perfectly clear.
Before following the instructions, be sure to install qt-devel ( # yum
install qt-devel ) and that once the rpmbuild is done, you look
carefully in the terminal output for where it's parked the rpm.
In case that's all too confusing for you, I've managed to install it
from the rpm my machine generated. I would think it would be possible
for you to install it with my rpm.

I have temporarily parked it here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2138099/smplayer-0.8.0-rvm.i386.rpm

Let me know when you have it, and if it's worked. I'll also look into
sticking this in rpm fusion, but have patience. I'm a busy man.



There is no need to install that rpm because it is already in rpmfusion 
repos, so you don't need to compile anything. The OP is talking about 
smplayer2: http://www.mplayer2.org/

IIRC, selinux is part of the kernel.  Hence when you make any changes
to/from SELINUX=disabled in the /etc/selinux/config, you have to
reboot.


Yes, but my question is just whether it is safe to yum remove selinux*?  It
seems rather widespread, and I just wanted to be sure it won't cause other
problems if I remove it.



It is not safe to remove selinux, but if you don't want to use it then 
just don't use it, or use it in premissive mode, but you don't need to 
remove it.

I found myself on a command line window, wanting to open a PDF, and I
didnt remember the name of the pdf reader that now comes as a default
install for Fedora. Too many years of "just installing Acrobat" left
me with "./acroread whatever.pdf" engraved into my brain cells.

So.. I had to go to "add/remove programs" type "PDF" in the search
field, and then wait as the program showed the name of the app:
evince.

Now that's great. I now know its 'evince whatever.pdf'.

But that got me thinking. Shouldn't there be a "meta-command" like
"open filename.whatever" that just seeks the default file association
in gnome or whatever, and find the app name, and invoke the right app
without the end user having to memorize the exact app name associated
with any given file extension type?.

I'm not exceptionally bright, and my bright ideas more often than not
tend to be ideas implemented ages ago... so I guess that utilty might

Do you have a user_prefs filer in the .spamassassin directory in your

Look to the spamassassin documentation to see how that works if you
don't. On my machine spamassassin is wonderfully effective.


Yes, I have that file, but I never modified it, so I think it should
work. Or do I have to modify it to really work?

Germán.

It should work but there are things you can modify in the file to
improve its performance. I see you are thinking to switch to Bogofilter.
I have always used spamassassin on a non-server and it works well for
me. But maybe in your environment Bogofillter will work better

One more thing. You have evolution-spamassassin installed and have
configured evolution to use spamassassin?


Hi Aaron:

Yes, I have configured evo to use spamassassin, I always used it and 
worked well, but as I said before, in the last months it is not working 
as before. Now I have switched to bogofilter and it seems to be faster 
and it's working well... let's see what happens in a near future :)

You might want to consider Bogofilter as an alternative. SpamAssassin
is more oriented to server installations and BF works well with Evo.

I already had that in mind but was not sure. Now I'm going to follow 
your advise about bogofilter.

After adding my username to the boinc group, I made sure the service was
enabled and running (using systemd), and then I started "boincmgr". Then
I went to "Advanced -> Select computer -> Host name: localhost", and as
password I put the content of the file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg

But maybe you should file a bug.

Thanks! - I eventually got it working with a blank password (ie only
CR/LF i the file). Now my computer can be of use to some other people's
scientific research again!

Nice to see it is working for you again!

After adding my username to the boinc group, I made sure the service was 
enabled and running (using systemd), and then I started "boincmgr". Then 
I went to "Advanced -> Select computer  -> Host name: localhost", and as 
password I put the content of the file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg

But maybe you should file a bug.

Good luck
Germán.

People,

Some years ago this used to work for me but for the last few versions of
Fedora that I have used (12, 14 and now 16) I haven't had any luck - the

Has anyone got the latest version going on F16 x86_64?

Thanks,

Hi Phil:

You have to add your username to the boing group, and then restart your 
computer.


HTH,

Hi Patrick:

See "man yum.conf" and the option "exclude".

Re: Virtual machine => Physical machine - fix screen resolution?

2012-01-28 Thread Germán A. Racca


On 01/29/2012 12:01 AM, Philip Rhoades wrote:

People,

I sent this note to the Fedora virtual list so I thought I might try
here . .

I installed a Fedora 16 x86_64 virtual machine on a Fedora 14 x86_64
server but used a physical disk (/dev/sdb = /dev/vda) so I could get the
new server going almost completely in virtual mode and then when it was
ready to go, reboot the machine on the new drive. This process went
extremely well (thanks to all the Fedora developers!) but there were a
few glitches left to sort out - one of which was the screen resolution
for both the console and in X. It seems the default virtual screen is
1024x768 but I need 1280x1024(or 768). I tried adding a vga parameter to
the linux line in the grub.cfg file but that only temporarily changed
the resolution during bootup. xorg.conf doesn't get used much anymore -
do I need to create it for this case? Is there some way to tell Fedora
to rediscover the maximum screen resolution somehow?

Thanks,

Phil.


Hi Phil:

Are you using Virtual Box? Did you install guest additions?

Cheers,
Germán.

Any hint??
She has same mysql packages as I have on my box, that works fine

That happened to me today when I installed Clementine for the first

Hi;

You can't always believe what you read !?

Google shows several conversations about gnote not yet being integrated
into gnome. Yet in Fedora 15 I had a little menu icon on a bottom panel
task bar/ notification area.  I have no remembrance of putting it there,
but it just seemed to show up one day.  So I don't know how to get it
back in Fedora 16.  I have tried everything I can think of.

Gnote has become one of my most important aids to writing.  How can I
get it back so that it is handy?  And, get it so that I don't have to
open the search menu with it?  I used to have a recently used notes
list.



Hi William,

I had the same problem, and I found a solution, that at least works for me:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnote use-status-icon true

You can fix it if you don't want to wait for the update. Open this file 
as superuser:


/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_shell.py

and change line 46 by this one:

THEME_EXT_NAME = "user-th...@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com"

and it will work again.

this is linux not windows
rpm -Uvh "package.rpm" or better "yum --nogpgcheck update package.rpm"
to update downloaded packages


My question had nothing to do with windows. I have never run windows except as 
virtual machines. and "yum update
VirtualBox*" gets "No Packages marked for Update" so a clean install is needed.


* download the rpm
* go in the folder with the rpm
* type "yum --nogpgcheck update filename.rpm"

yum is not limited to repos
if something is installed as rpm a "clean install" is not needed
why? because for a rpm a "clean install" does not exist
a rpm-package knows which files are form the apckages, which are
new and which are obsoleted to remove, that is why a package-manager
exists

your user-data has nothing to do with the rpm/software/package
a virtual machine for vbox/vmware whatever is the same as a doc for openoffice
it is yur data and has nothing to do with install/update/uninstall the software



It has to be a "clean install" from my point of view, because he has to 
remove one package and then install the other. Why? Because the newer 
one has a different name. In the format of name-version-release.arch, 
this is:


Old package: VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.14_74382_fedora14-1.x86_64
New package: VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.6_74713_fedora14-1.x86_64

so the old one is called VirtualBox-4.0 and the newer is VirtualBox-4.1.

(BTW, Erik, take into account that F14 is EOL. We are in F16, and the 
same versio of VirtualBox is available).


HTH,

Shibi:

I can't answer your question, and even don't know what it means, but I 
have a Dell Vostro 3500 with an Intel card and when using the battery I 
also get this error message when the system comes back from suspending 
... just to say that you are not alone :)
