> > What are you. Asking.. I am not getting Should I set up something to have the correct viewing? I cannot use it with "wrong" character while I think that evince would be helpfull for some purpose. In one word I would like to use evince, but because the displaying is wrong, I just cannot use it! However, I may have not configured it properly!

F18: Adobe Acrobat Reader fails hyperlinks?
by Dan Thurman 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

It appears that on Fedora 18, Adobe Acrobat Reader hyperlinks (control-left-click on link) fails to execute properly and bring up the the web page. I tried the same PDF file on F13 and it works. Is it a bug or is there something I need to do to make this work?

Display setting problem CORRECTION-
by Bob Goodwin 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

CORRECTION: Fedora-19 I have a ViewSonic VX2035wm LCD Display monitor on this computer that is not recognized by Fedora-19. in order to get a reasonable display I have to run /usr/bin/xrandr -s 1680x1050 after I am logged in and the display [XFCE] is running. That works for me but it seems a bit clunky and after doing so for more than a year I would like to find some more elegant way to deal with it. I could use a different monitor but I prefer the aspect ratio of this one, it's wide but higher than the others available. Anyone know a better way to deal with this? As it stands it is just one of the things I do every morning after booting the computer ... Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD Box 10 Fedora-19/64 XFCE Linux

How avoid unwanted systemd-journald?
by Franta Hanzlík 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

For one thing I'm in the conviction that binary logs are hazardous bullshit, for another on my two F19 machines systemd-journald occupy significant part of resources (after several days it is often 1.5 to 2.5 GB RAM and several GB on /var/log/journal/*/* filesystem). Then, how I can avoid this crap and log only to standard rsyslogd? I tried set "LogTarget=syslog-or-kmsg" in "[Manager]" section of /etc/systemd/{system.conf,user.conf}, but this not helped; setting "Storage=none" in "[Journal]" section of /etc/systemd/journald.conf is better, but I want ideally completely cut out systemd-journald from my systems. TIA, Franta Hanzlik

Writing English.
by Rolf Turner 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Just read some stuff on this list about "spins", a concept which had not previously impinged itself upon my consciousness. So I went and had a look at the spins.fedoraproject.org page. It started off by saying "What is a spin? Fedora spins are alternate version of Fedora, tailored ...". For God's sake, people!!! That's "alternative versions"!!! Alternate means "every other" or "every second". Alternative means "available as another possibility". Saying "alternate" when you mean "alternative" is sloppy, lazy thinking and irritates and confuses the reader. Why can't computer geeks learn to write English correctly? Of course the geeks are not alone in their inability. I just read, in this morning's New Zealand Herald, an article (reprinted from the Independent, which you would think would get it right!) about Pope Francis, in which it was said "Despite winning pundits for his graceful-but-radical abdication, Benedict fell victim to ...". Uh, I think the writer meant *plaudits*, don't you? Psigh! What hope for humanity? :-) cheers, Rolf Turner

My wife's laptop was running fine on kernel 3.10.11-200: uname -a: Linux croweflies.the-leveys.us 3.10.11-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 9 13:03:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci -s 03:00.0: 03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe rfkill list wlan: 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I neither had nor needed any additional kernel modules. However, when I upgraded kernels: uname -a: Linux croweflies.the-leveys.us 3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 27 19:20:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci -s 03:00.0: 03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp.

The problem is that the "asus-wlan" doesn's show as an available interface, and I cannot connect. Any suggestions? -Don
