MP4 video on F23
by Patrick O'Callaghan 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Since updating to F23 I've been unable to view MP4 videos (mostly H264 encoded). I know this is a proprietary format but it's what's out there and what people tend to send when sharing in emails (from non-Linux machines as a rule). The message from vlc (for example) is: Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) Usually the audio track is supported and plays, but no picture. No doubt the answer is going to be "install gstreamer-ugly-whatever" from RPMfusion, but I've done all that and still nothing. I didn't have this problem under F22 (or earlier) so I have to wonder if something hasn't been updated, but anyone with a solution is welcome to comment. This is what I currently have installed: gstreamer1-vaapi-0.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.6.1-2.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-28.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.23-3.fc22.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-18.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.6.1-1.fc23.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23-7.fc22.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-15.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-espeak-0.4.0-7.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.13-15.fc22.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.23-28.fc23.x86_64 gstreamermm-0.10.11-8.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686 gstreamer1-libav-1.6.1-2.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.6.1-1.fc23.i686 poc

xfce without a mouse
by Chris Murphy 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, So I have only a bluetooth mouse, and GNOME lets me navigate by keyboard only to get to Settings well enough I can then pair with the mouse. I can't figure out how to do this at all on xfce (granted this is Fedora 20 because that's the build Intel is using for their CPU diagnostic tool). Any suggestions? -- Chris Murphy

How to install fresh kernel from rawhide
by Michael Kuryshev 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Hi, what's the proper steps to install kernel (modules, headers, etc) from rawhide. And I want to keep 'em updated, without breaking any other stuff or pulling another rawhide packages. The reason I want this is to install 4.3+ kernel because it seems it should have fixed thunderbolt2 support for new 2015 macbooks. -- Mike

Bluetooth keyboards
by Berend De Schouwer 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

I currently have a problem where bluetooth keyboard pair, but don't work. Other bluetooth devices work. USB keyboards work. I've tried four different keyboards from four different manufacturers, so I'm pretty sure it's a local problem. I've tried different kernels with the same result. So I think that this is in bluez. It used to work when F23 went live, so I assume it's a recent update problem. I've tried both X11 and Wayland to try and differentiate between xinput/wayland events. Both exhibit the problem. The keyboards do pair, and they do need a passcode when pairing, and entering that passcode does work, so the keyboards are working. After pairing, they show up as connected. They just do nothing. No HID input. If anyone can help me tracking it (or even finding debug info), I'd appreciate it. I don't know where next to look.

F23 Installer does not recognize any storage devices
by Oliver Paukstadt 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Hello I try to install F23 onto a predefined but unused md device. I read about problems with the workstation image, so I used server-netinstall on a physical cd. The install target box stays gray with warning sign, even if /tmp/storage.log is about 160k bytes and /proc and /sys is populated. Is there any way to work around this problem? Might using the full server iso help? Regards, Oliver -- Oliver Paukstadt <fedora(a)sourcentral.org>

SElinux issue
by Paolo Galtieri 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Somehow my SElinux config has gotten messed up. When I try to install a module I get the following error: libsepol.context_from_record: type httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t is not defined (No such file or directory). libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure (Invalid argument). libsemanage.validate_handler: invalid context system_u:object_r:httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t:s0 specified for /usr/share/prewikka/htdocs/generated_images [all files] (Invalid argument). libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records (Invalid argument). semodule: Failed! The httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t does not exist. The directory does exist, but it doesn't matter whether the directory exists or not I still get the error. The problem entry is in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:/usr/share/prewikka/htdocs/generated_images system_u:object_r:httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t:s0 I have tried using the various selinux tools to correct the problem without success. My questions are: 1) Can I manually edit the file_contexts.local file and remove the problem entry? 2) Is this sufficient? 3) Do I need to run anything after I remove the entry to get SElinux to work correctly? Here is al ls -l of /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/ -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 369806 Nov 20 04:44 file_contexts -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1379785 Aug 22 18:55 file_contexts.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13169 Nov 20 04:44 file_contexts.homedirs -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 45743 Aug 22 18:55 file_contexts.homedirs.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1092 Oct 22 18:14 file_contexts.local -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3936 Aug 22 18:55 file_contexts.local.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Nov 20 04:43 file_contexts.subs -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 474 Nov 20 04:43 file_contexts.subs_dist -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 139 Nov 20 04:43 media How are the .bin files generated? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Paolo
