Updates available?
by Temlakos 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Everyone: When is the last time anyone got any updates? Since packagekit quit working for me (and yes, I have a bug on file), I've been using "yum -y update" every day. For two days straight, it's done nothing: "No packages marked for update." Now is that true? Or am I getting yet another false negative? Temlakos

Mate desktop sharing
by Todor Petkov 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello, few years ago I used the Fedora desktop sharing options, but it was on some F14 version. Now, on 21, I can not find the option in Mate panels. I have vnc server installed, but I don't have the sharing option in System menu. I found this article: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/47085/cant-find-remote-desktop-pr… but it does not help in my case. Can someone tell which packet should be installed? Thanks in advance.

Adobe not providing linux flash updates
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

www.cnn.com is telling me that my version of flash-player is out of date with security risks so it won't display any video news. Go and update your flash player. On this F21 system I am using: adobe-linux-x86_64.repo which has in it: baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/ yum.log shows: Jan 19 18:08:31 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.429-release.x86_64 Jan 26 08:51:24 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64 So supposedly I am current to Jan 26. But cnn is not a happy camper. There have been a couple other sites complaining as well. Even one that said my version of Firefox was out of date, but that was only a warning.

Network-based install unreliable?
by W. Michael Petullo 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Since Red Hat 4.2, I have frequently performed network-based installs of Red Hat/Fedora. Some time around Fedora 16, installing over the network became somewhat unreliable. It seems like some days it just won't work. Generally there is some package that cannot be found or something to that effect. I have always assumed that problems with network installs occur because of inconsistencies across Fedora's mirrors. Today, I had trouble until I changed the source URL to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/... and avoided mirrorlists. I have had this trouble on two university campuses and also from home. The stange thing is that I do not see too many complaints from anyone else. Has anyone else had trouble with this? I would much prefer using the mirror system than hitting dl.fedoraproject.org directly. -- Mike :wq

F21, authconfig-tui, system is unusable
by Dan Irwin 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi all, I just ran authconfig-tui to configure my F21 system for kerberos and ldap. When I reboot, Fedora gives me the firstboot screen EVERY TIME now. Prior to running authconfig-tui, my system was working fine, and had been for weeks. If i attempt to setup a new account, it hangs indefinetly. If i allow it to join my AD domain, it hangs indefinetly. Point: I just setup my machine to join the local kerberos realm and ldap directory. Now it's unusable. Why the hell would I now want to join my AD realm? And why is it even hanging? I could debug this, and open bugs, but history has shown that any bug "too hard" won't even be looked at. Do the developers of Linux actually use linux for anything other than to try and clone OS X, poorly? </rant> - Dan

Does compton exist for Fedora?
by Ranjan Maitra 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi, Is compton barred by licensing issues? I was looking at xcompmgr which exists in Fedora and then I got led to compton. However, it is not in Fedora and I was wondering why.

Allowing less secure apps - "Goozilla" vs Mozilla
by poma 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Allowing less secure apps to access your account Google may block sign in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safer. Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include: ... Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird Therefore "Goozilla" considers Mozilla Thunderbird as less secure!? Really "Goozilla"?

google chrome linux repo unreachable?
by Neal Becker 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

For the past several days, it seems google chrome linux repo is unreachable? Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'google-chrome' from 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64': Yum repo downloading error: Downloading error(s): repodata/filelists.xml.gz - Cannot download, all mirrors were already tried without success, disabling. Seems a bit odd - I'd think google was well-connected to the net. -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

Touchpad second button not working in new Fedora 21 install.
by Ananda Samaddar 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hello all, I've just installed Fedora 21 from the live desktop image to my laptop; an Acer Aspire E15. I did a DNF update immediately after installing. For some reason I cannot use the second touchpad button to right click at all. I'm using GNOME as my desktop. Everything else is working fine except this. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be most appreciative. If you need the outputs of any commands then I'm fine with doing that. thanks in advance, Ananda Samaddar
