Firefox, HTML5 and high res. videos
by Heinz Diehl 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hi, F22, latest Firefox 40. With standard configuration, I can't play any highres video on Youtube (720 or 1080p). When setting media.mediasource.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled to "true" as recommended by the Mozilla Community, highres videos play just fine. BUT some other videos now do not play any longer. In particular, when setting media.mediasource.webm.enabled to "false", those non-working videos work again. But then, no highres is possible. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFzN6j6FjJc WTF?!

window displays with black/white blocks running a java program
by dcw 22 Aug '15

22 Aug '15

I have F21 but it also did the same thing on F20. I use the java program thinkorswim from TDAmeritrade. From the desktop computer, the program works correctly. The laptop computer has a problem. The first screen displays correctly. The second screen that is for logging in has a lot of vertical graphics with black/white blocks. The screen is not readable but if you put the mouse at the correct place I am able to login. After the applications is loaded, the rest of the application runs correctly. This has only happened on laptops (2 laptops different brands, both F21). Both laptops work correctly otherwise. When I remote login from my desktop to the laptop and run the application all screens display correctly on the desktop monitor. I thought that I was missing a font on the laptop, but both laptop and desktop have the same fonts. Has anyone seen similar problems. Any ideas for what to check next? Thanks, David

Q about how TB handles google mail
by JD 22 Aug '15

22 Aug '15

A friend came to me asking for help I was not able to figure out. He has multiple laptops, at different geographical locations. On all of them, he uses fedora and TB. What he has bot been able to achieve is that all laptops download the same messages from gmail. But what happens is that if laptop A downloads all latest messages. Then if he logs off, and 2 days later, he logs in on laptop B and tried to download all messages, he only gets the ones that come in AFTER the ones he downloaded on laptop A. How can he config TB to always download messages that have not been downloaded? Or is it an issue with the gmail server itself? I have seen a solution that advises the use of IMAP instead of pop3. But that is not what he wants, because sometimes he does not have access to the web, and would still like to read messages he has not read yet, so he needs them to be on the laptops. Perhaps it cannot be done??? Thanx.

Thunderbird and Gmail -
by Bob Goodwin 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

I would like to use gmail.com via Thunderbird but nothing I have tried on their page seems to fix things. "Get Messages" results in the following message" > Sending of password for user Bob Goodwin did not succeed. Mail server > pop.gmail.com responded: Temporary system problem. Please try again > later. e68mb297548332ita My password, etc, work as expected on the gmail "web mail" page, I can send and receive, however that's not what I want, I prefer to use Thunderbird. Perhaps someone else has been though this and can tell me what needs to be done? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-22/64bit LINUX XFCE

This is what I was talking about
by Joe Zeff 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Subject: This is what I was talking about Jerry, earlier this year I wrote you a letter about how the Air Force could make better use of air supremacy. (Another of your readers responded, accusing me of "victory through air power.) Here's an article you may not have seen showing us doing exactly the type of thing I was advocating: http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/08/02/us-led-raids-destroy-isis-bri… You drop the bridges and it makes it harder and slower for ISIS to get troops, supplies and equipment to the front where they're needed and that makes it easier for our "boots on the ground" to do their job. I do have to ask, though, what took them so long?

Removing old kernels using dnf leaves files in /boot
by Clemens Eisserer 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hi, Because I run my linux installation on "real" hardware as well as using VirtualBox I need manual control when old kernels (which have vbox extensions) are removed. Recently I tried to remove old kernel packages with dnf ("dnf remove kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22"), yet the files contained in this package are still in /boot: [root@user-pc boot]# ls -la /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5968568 Jul 29 21:59 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 Any idea what could be going wrong here? Thank you in advance, Clemens

how do i pick up the new rpms in updates-testing?
by Robert P. J. Day 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

almost certainly a stupid question, but how do i force "dnf update" to consult the latest mirrors to see the new packages now available? i can *see* here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/22/x86_64/n/ the new NetworkManager rpm that solves a particular problem i've run into, but no variation of "dnf update" i run will pick it up. what's the secret recipe? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
