Zygrib not available for Fedora 21?
by Peter Lesterhuis 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Hi, After upgrading to Fedora 21 I lost Zygrib. Can't find a rpm in the repo's. Of course I could compile from source, but I'd rather wait for a rpm-package. Does anyone know if it there will be there soon? Should I try to install the fedora 20 rpm? Peter

eclipse
by Angelo Moreschini 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Hi, I downloaded Elipse (Gallileo) from the official repository of Fedora with the purpose to develop Java programs,but it doesn't look to be suitable to be used for developing Java programs..(it is not sensitive to the skill used in Java programming, i.e there is not option to create java classes, as also the option of compilation.., etc..). Also I don't find JDK (Java Development Kit) inside the IDE, neither in the menu Window ---> Preferences I find a possibility to add the Java capability, as it is wrote on the manuals of Eclipse.... I don't understand, I used Eclipse on Windows OS.. and there I had not problem to develop Java Programs... I am confused... what it is ? What can I do to use Java in Eclipse in Fedora environment. Regards thank you Angelo

Samsung Gs3 and F21/Xfce
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

When I was running F20 with Gnome, I could mount my Samsung Gs3. First it mounted the windows installer. I did nothing, just waited, and this mount disappeared then the Samsung device mount appeared and I could access the files. Mostly to move videos and pictures around. Now on F21 with Xfce, I only get the Windows install mount which disappears after a bit, then nothing. No device is showing under /dev I really need to get some files onto the phone, and take some off. And no F20 or Gnome systems here. Anyone else working with a Samsung phone and F21? I am planning on upgrading my phone. Either to a Gs4 or Note4. Does anyone have experience with either of these? My cellular account is with VerizonWireless if this makes any difference. thanks

Need soundcard advice
by William W. Austin 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

My wife composes, and for playback she has used an Audigy2 PCI card in her desktop machine for years. That computer is beyond it's last legs now, and her new one has only PCIE slots. (Yes she uses Linux for her composing and playback.) The problem is that she uses the Midi feature of that card and has sound fonts that she loads (about 126 MB in size) into it. She has given up trying to find one and has asked me to help... but so far I've struck out. Are there ANY PCIE sound which is roughly the equivalent of the Audigy 2 cards? I won't say "money is no object", but I'm approaching the point where cost is less important than finding such a card if on exists. Any pointers on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Bill -- william w. austin airedad(a)att.net "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..."

Need an tftp server for switch config files
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

I need to run a tftp server. I have installed it on a F21 notebook. I see basic starting instructions at: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ch13s… How do I control what directory it is using? The README.secure talks about creating a user and group of tftp, but the install did not do that.... Besides the basic instructions to start the server, I know I have to open the udp port in firewalld. But I want to know what directory it is using so I can put the config file there to download. thanks

Terminal bell/beep in XFCE
by Sam Varshavchik 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

After switching to XFCE, one thing that I'm missing fondly is the terminal beep/bell. I don't see any promising setting in xfce4-terminal. What I'm looking for is what Gnome did – use an audio effect for a terminal beep, and not the motherboard speaker. Anyone knows if that's possible?

How NOT to have Xfce restart all running apps on restart
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

It is kind of nice but too many things just don't work write. I would rather start everything my self and in the right workspace (some are starting up in different workspaces). The 'settings' > 'sessin and startup' dialog on Application Autostart tab basically says you have no control over restarting what was previously running. Seems like I grumbled about this during the beta, but lost what was said about dumbing down Xfce startup.

Xfce Thunar directory size
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

Shows the Kb of the directory. I am use to Nautilus and Nemo showing how many files are in the directory. I looked through the various settings, but could not find how to get Thunar to behave like Nautilus and Nemo. thanks for the help BTW, I have completed the migration from my F20/Gnome to the new F21/Xfce laptop. Had to backup and copy ~110Gb of files. Both systems are Lenovo x102e units with 240Gb SSD installed. The only major hangup is that the screen is not turned off with screensaver. And, yes Poma, it is xflock4 that is being run with <ctl-alt-del> and it is NOT turning off the backlight. And I noticed the last night with the room light off, that my Asus ee900 (i386 install) also has its backlight on, but much dimmer than the Lenovo's backlight (which can be seen in a lit room). see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175015 I need to update the bug report for the Asus problem.

F21 Xfce on Asus ee900 not seeing wireless adapter
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

I just noticed this, as I have been using wired all this time. But went to do some wireless testing, only to find out no wireless. How do I go about finding out if it is even recognizing the wireless card?
