Gimp fails exporting
by Sylvia Sánchez
I can't save my work because The Gimp shows me an error message
everytime I export it into jpeg format.
The message is "Jpeg complement failed"
Any thoughts?
Cheers, and thanks in advance

Smart Media Player Network Access in Fedora 20
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I was given a Smart Media Player for fathers day, which I have
connected to my TV via HDMI. When I power it on and it establishes its
wireless connection to my router, Windows 8 automatically detects it and
adds it as a device it can stream to. Under Fedora 20 none of the
network interfaces available to Dolphin can see the device. What do I
need to do to get the same automatic setup under Fedora as I do under
Windows, or if Fedora has detected the wireless device, how do I find out?
Also, under Fedora how do I set up Miracast (which is native to
Windows 8) or Airplay streaming to the device once Fedora can actually
see and use it?
regards,
Steve

F20 "yum update" broken
by Paul Erickson
For some time now. "yum update" has been broken. I get the following
message:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libdvdcss2-1.2.13-7.fc20.x86_64 (@atrpms)
Requires: /usr/sbin/ldconfig
Removing: glibc-2.18-12.fc20.i686 (@updates)
Not found
Updated By: glibc-2.18-16.fc20.i686 (updates)
Not found
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[paul@paul Downloads]$
"--skip-broken" does update some of the packages, but this issue with
glibc has been around for a while. Any thoughts as to how to fix
this, or do I just have to wait?
thanks in advance.

lyx
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
There is a new version of lyx which has not been included in the last
updates of fedora.
Are there some plans to get it soon, or should I install it by myself?
Thank.

IP addresses on local network change
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I am newbie to Fedora and I would like ask for a (for me important)
clarification regarding the assignment of the IP address of the computers
of my LAN.
Having problems to access to a repository located on another computer on my
LAN, I used, several times, the ping command to check the accessibility of
the nodes in the network ...
With my surprise, the answers that I received using the ping command (with
IP number) had not been consistent.
...an IP number available at a certain time was no longer available some
time after (and vice-verse);
And happened also that non-existent IP addresses in the network
occurred as available,
...some times....
Moreover, a test done with /sbin/ifconfig stated that some IP addresses
changed in the time.. ...
[angelo@zorro ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig
em0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
inet6 fe80::227:eff:fe1f:824c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:27:0e:1f:82:4c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 28131 bytes 30128278 (28.7 MiB)

[angelo@zorro ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig
em0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
inet6 fe80::227:eff:fe1f:824c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 20 memory 0xf2100000-f2120000
I didn't expect a such (for me) strange situation, and I would like to have
some explanation about it.
I can only think that all can be correlated to the dynamic assignment of
the IP address (DHCP), but the change of the IP happen also if the
computers are not rebooted.
If, is possible, I should like have a reference to documentation that can
explain this my problem.
Thank you
Regards

BT Applet in Mate
by Pal, Laszlo
Hi,
Is there anyone out there except me prefer MATE? :))
After a lot of attempt to use some other more shiny environment, I've
decided to use this old-school desktop.
Now, I have only one issue which is the missing bluetooth applet / app.
I've searched for a solution but it seems due to the transition between
bluez4 and bluez5 the bt applet is lost.
Is there any working solution?
Thank you

Firefox fonts
by Michael Hennebry
I recently installed some courier fonts.
I cannot tell which, if any, of them Firefox is using.
They are in the font chooser.
How do I discover what font Firefox actually uses for something?
I've found Inspect Element, but I'm pretty sure Firefox is substituting.
How do I discover what was substituted?
Is there a way to control what Firefox uses for substitution?
I'm running CentOS 6.

Name resolution for kickstart
by CLOSE Dave
We have a number of internal machines which run a local nameserver. It's
primarily a relay for the wider net but does a few other things as well.
So DHCP is configured to specify 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver address for
these machines.
Of course, that is also what kickstart is told when it connects and
begins operation. But, of course, kickstart is not running a local
nameserver. This means that name resolution for the "repo" lines in the
kickstart file doesn't work and installations fail.
The only workaround I've found is to use IP addresses in the "repo"
lines, not the associated names. But this isn't ideal: addresses can
change and sites using multiple addresses can't be properly matched.
Is there a way I can tell kickstart not to use the resolver specified by
DHCP but instead use one that I specify in the kickstart file?

5tFTW: Fedora Council, Flock 2015, Workstation, F21 @ Rackspace, and Better Rawhide (2014-10-07)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-10-07/>.
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that
goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five
different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just
quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for
October 7th, 2014:
Fedora Project Board finalizes Fedora Council
---------------------------------------------
The Fedora Board and others in the community have been working on a
proposal to rearrange the highest level of project governance and
leadership. As board member John Rose notes in a message sent to
several key mailing lists, “the primary motivation in doing this is to
create a system of governance that includes a much more active
leadership responsibility”. This proposal is now in its final draft,
and the Board will be voting this week on whether to adopt it or go
back to the drawing board. You can read it at
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MatthewMiller/council-draft
If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to discuss!
* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-October/203141.html
Flock 2015 locations narrowed down to NY or CO
----------------------------------------------
Short story: while all of the bids are great, last week’s survey
indicates that Rochester and Colorado Springs are the leading options.
Flock organizer Ruth Suehle breaks down the details in a post on the
Flock planning list, and notes that the Flock planning team will be
working on cost analysis and choosing final dates for next summer’s big
Flock to Fedora contributor conference.

What’s coming in Workstation
----------------------------
Christian Schaller blogs about progress on Fedora Workstation,
noting specifically progress on Wayland (a new display technology that
hopes eventually to be the successor to X11), new upstream Human
Interface Guidelines, and the improved software installation GUI.
Christian concludes:
> [...] as we go towards Fedora Workstation 22 the pace of innovation
> and progress will only pick up. So great things are ahead and I hope
> that once Fedora Workstation 21 is released regardless of if you are
> a long time Fedora users, a lapsed former Fedora users or someone who
> has never tried Fedora before you will be willing to give it a try
> and hopefully become as excited about it as we are.

Testing Fedora 21 in Rackspace Cloud
------------------------------------
Interested in trying the Fedora 21 alpha (and upcoming beta) but aren’t
ready to put it on your own hardware? Fedora contributor and Rackspace
hacker Major Hayden posted an Ansible playbook which converts a
Fedora 20 instance running on Rackspace Cloud into a Fedora 21 test
system. Cool!
* https://github.com/major/ansible-rax-fedora21
Rawhide: getting better all the time
------------------------------------
Fedora Infrastructure team lead (and FESCo member, and many many other
roles in Fedora) Kevin Fenzi posted This week in rawhide, the early
October edition. Rawhide is the always-changing development branch
that runs ahead of even the alpha and beta releases — so right now, it’s
a long-removed preview of next year’s Fedora 22. Kevin notes some
important changes in the works, including signed packages (currently,
only the packages in the release branches are signed), and the goal of
making “test composes” every night. Currently, test composes are kicked
off by Release Engineering manually, and every six months there seems to
have been enough change that the process needs tweaking, sometimes
leading to delays. Having that be continuous will make sure we’re always
ready to go and is a big step forward towards more agile distribution
development.
