Power management and docks
by John Morris 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Been banging my head against a minor problem for months now. Finally giving up and asking... Have a Thinkpad and a dock. Mate still allows for this arrangement, I can even configure it to stay powered on with the lid closed off of the dock if I want. The problem is I can't logout and back in or reboot. The second Mate releases control over power the machine suspends if the lid is down, like most cases while docked. Googled, poked around in config files, etc. Nothing seems to allow changing of the power policy while at the login screen. I can totally disable the lid from /etc/systemd/logind.conf but that is overkill. I do want the system to suspend if the AC is disconnected and the lid closes.

Discovering and controlling paps font choices
by Max Pyziur 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Greetings, I realize that it was sometime ago, but much thanks to whomever passed on the advice of using paps in place of enscript, especially when unicode/UTF-8 is involved. Since then I've essentially stopped using enscript and am working with paps. However, I still don't have a good handle on how to control fonts; by example, my standard commandline using paps looks like this: paps --landscape --paper=letter --columns=2 --font="Monospace-Bold 6" SomeFileName | lpr -P MyLinePrinter Using this particular font choice, gives me an Arial-like font, not something monospaced. If I replace the hyphen w/ a space, I then get Courier. I've looked a bit both googling and the various installed RPMs to see if I could determine the naming of the fonts, but with no good results. Any advice in this regard? Much thanks in advance, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Raid-1 setup -
by Bob Goodwin 05 Dec '14

If I select two large drives and check the boxes for Raid mirrored does it create a raid-1 system for me or must I first set up the system before running the installer? Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

Fedora 20 Mate System Sounds
by Rich 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi, I've been running Fedora Mate 20 for about 6 months and it is admirable. Everythng appears to work except for my system sounds, example: login sound, shutdown sound, etc... I've tried everything I know and can't seem to get them working. I've loaded the few sounds themes available to me. Sound works when testing using the mixer, as well as when using Chrome and netflix. Has anyone else had this problem? Rich

torrent.fedoraproject.org RSS feed?
by Ben Blankley 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

I sent the following note to the infrastructure list, but maybe it's better suited to users? It was never approved for the infrastructure list. Please delete if it is offtopic. With the impending release of F21, I was planning on setting up my RSS-enabled Bittorrent client to get the F21 final ISO downloading as soon as possible. Is there an RSS feed for torrent.fedoraproject.org? If not, is there a mirror-friendly way to automate such a download upon final release, whether through Bittorrent, rsync, or http? I have a few systems at home that will need a full new installation from F20, and since I'm on slow internet I'd rather just download packages once, while I'm at work in CST. I haven't figured out how to set up a local update mirror cache yet. Thanks, Ben Blankley

Fedupdated v20 to v21 - perfect!
by Philip Rhoades 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

People, I just updated from F20 x86_64 to F21 via fedup and although it took a while - it was completely painless! The only thing that was odd was when downloading RPMs (console) parts of one line would be duplicated over the whole screen and then letters would start disappearing (an odd screensaver thing?) - I don't know what that was about but it was just a display thing and pushing SHIFT caused a sensible output again. The only package issue was some dependency problem with pdftk but I will worry about that later. Thanks again people!

fc20. using vlc, or wget or smplayer, how do I download a stream which the FF plugin downloadhelper says is made of many files, each one of which has the extension .f4f When I download the .f4f files, they are not playable by any media player.
