I even removed .mozilla .cache/mozilla/firefox whitout more success! I also tried another user without more success. May I should try an older version, like the last version 20, if I can get it?

lock screen
by Patrick Dupre 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hello, For a couple of days, maybe 1 week, after I make a lockscreen, the top panel (I use frippery) is disorganized: the date move on the right side for example. I can recover by doing Alt F2, but then the open shell windows are all moved and overlap in the same windows (in the one that I use to make the Alt F2). Some ideas? Thank. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

f17 no internet after power failure, power restored
by Jackson Byers 26 May '13

26 May '13

f17 no internet after power failure, power restored {my wife's imac does have internet access.) $ uname -r 3.8.12-100.fc17.i686.PAE trying with chrome: Quote: The server's security certificate is not yet valid! You attempted to reach www.google.com, but the server presented a certificate that is not yet valid. No information is available to indicate whether that certificate can be trusted. Google Chrome cannot reliably guarantee that you are communicating with www.google.com and not an attacker. Your computer's clock is currently set to Wednesday, May 25, 2011 10:10:15 AM. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page. You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain. endquote Then I saw, indeed the date on the time panel was Wednesday, May 25, 2011 not Saturday may 25, 2013 FYI: this f17 is result of several preupgrades over last few years f12, f14, f16, f17 so maybe a lot of cruft has accumulated? I am not sure, but I think I would have noticed a date change this drastic, so I assume it was somehow caused by the power failure. After lot of futzing around using my wife's imac I found some instructions on the internet on how to change time, date. and once I got the date correct, I could then again access internet. as root: # date +%D -s 2013-05-25 But oddly, if I then try to also change the time. # date +%T -s 16:22:00 -u this modifies the time but it is still way off, and worse: the date reverts back to the 2011 as above.!? So i redo the date, and again my f17 has internet, but a way off time clock. advice, comments? Jack

Big problem with an update
by Frank McCormick 25 May '13

25 May '13

I was updating Fedora 19 tonight when my system crashed ( I suspect it's a memory error)....but anyway it now **appears I have a lot of duplicate files on my system, at least that what yum check all reports. The crash happened after the updates had been installed I think during the verify stage. This is a partial list of what "yum check all" reports: Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit SDL-1.2.15-8.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with SDL-1.2.15-7.fc19.i686 1:autocorr-en-4.0.3.3-3.fc19.noarch is a duplicate with 1:autocorr-en-4.0.3.3-2.fc19.noarch 1:cups-1.6.2-7.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with 1:cups-1.6.2-4.fc19.i686 1:cups-filesystem-1.6.2-7.fc19.noarch is a duplicate with 1:cups-filesystem-1.6.2-4.fc19.noarch 1:cups-libs-1.6.2-7.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with 1:cups-libs-1.6.2-4.fc19.i686 desktop-backgrounds-compat-19.0.0-2.fc19.noarch is a duplicate with desktop-backgrounds-compat-19.0.0-1.fc19.noarch desktop-backgrounds-gnome-19.0.0-2.fc19.noarch is a duplicate with desktop-backgrounds-gnome-19.0.0-1.fc19.noarch dialog-1.2-2.20130523.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with dialog-1.2-1.20121230.fc19.i686 dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-21.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-20.fc19.i686 dmraid-events-1.0.0.rc16-21.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with dmraid-events-1.0.0.rc16-20.fc19.i686 dracut-027-46.git20130430.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with dracut-027-45.git20130430.fc19.i686 dracut-network-027-46.git20130430.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with dracut-network-027-45.git20130430.fc19.i686 glusterfs-3.4.0-0.5.beta2.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with glusterfs-3.4.0-0.4.beta1.fc19.i686 glusterfs-api-3.4.0-0.5.beta2.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with glusterfs-api-3.4.0-0.4.beta1.fc19.i686 glusterfs-fuse-3.4.0-0.5.beta2.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with glusterfs-fuse-3.4.0-0.4.beta1.fc19.i686 1:grub2-2.00-18.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with 1:grub2-2.00-16.fc19.i686 1:grub2-efi-2.00-18.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with 1:grub2-efi-2.00-16.fc19.i686 1:grub2-tools-2.00-18.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with 1:grub2-tools-2.00-16.fc19.i686 The list goes on and on... I am a relative newcomer to Fedora ( I'm a Debian refugee) so my knowledge of yum at the moment is pretty minimal. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be fixed? The system still boots fine Thanks -- --Cheers--

So I tried it. Now the partition won't boot. package-cleanup --dupes removed the dupes..at least it said it was....but it also ran into a bunch of files it said were zero-length...what it did about them I don't know. Short version: the partition is now unbootable. So I am back in Fedora 18...where I think I'll stay for a while. I don't anticipate re-installing 19...at least not for a while. -- --Cheers--

A Software Center for Fedora?
by Anthony 24 May '13

24 May '13

One of the things I really like about Ubuntu is the concept behind the software center. Canonical has poorly implemented it but the idea behind it is pretty solid. That got me wondering...why doesn't Fedora have a similar product? Yes, I'm aware of Yum Extender but that's not a 'proper' software store. I mean a full fledged store, complete with backend processing and tracking. Perhaps this is something that would be better for the dev list but I thought I'd float it here before going there just to see the general feel of the community. Thoughts? Thanks, Anthony Papillion

ePDFview bug, where to report?
by Fernando Cassia 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi, I've found a bug in the ePDF viewer as included in Fedora 18 XFCE. Where should I report it?. Particularly, a PDF file that shows OK in Adobe Reader, and also shows OK when viewed with PDF.js inside Firefox (the internal Javascript based PDF reader, which comes bundled with later Firefox versions but can also be installed via the addons site at mozilla.org) instead shows with ePDFview a page with a bitmap on it, as 'empty' (the bitmap doesn't show). The PDF file in question is public, and has been generated by RedHat, and is at http://www.redhat.com/summit/2012/pdf/2012-DevDay-OpenJDK-Bhole.pdf The problem exhibits in the page which shows a screenshot of "Thermostat" (I think it's Page 4, I could be wrong). Only ePDF shows the empty bitmap. My ePDF shows version "ePDFView 0.1.8" TIA FC PS: Is it me or the project page at "Emma's Software", authors of ePDF is gone? trac.*emma*-soft.com I wonder if the project is dead? PS2: Ubuntu shows they have version 0.1.8-3 https://launchpad.net/epdfview -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto Revolucionario - George Orwell
