~
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
It seems that fedora create a ~ sub directory without I can control it.
Can I avoid it?
I do not see the point because ~ is the home directory, why do we need
a ~ subdirectory in any directory?
Thank.

Bonjour,
I tried to use pulseaudio-equalizer, but if I launch it the sound no
more work on my computer.... Is there a special configuration to
perform to use it?
Thank you

F22 x86_64 - Chrome: Older HW works with minor issues but Newer HW has significant problems
by Philip Rhoades
People,
Until recently I have been using some old hardware for both my mail /
list server and also as my workstation. Since Chrome is such a resource
hog I was constantly keeping the number of windows and tabs as low as
possible - which was generally working. I finally bought some new HW to
use for the workstation and although it is faster when it is working, it
seems to have MORE significant problems with Chrome (or something). On
the old HW, if I overloaded it with Chrome, it would eventually grind to
a halt, on the new HW, Chrome Tabs stop working when the hardware is
hardly loaded at all! If I persist by using a "killall" on Chrome
processes and restart Chrome, the workspace and maybe the whole
workstation will eventually hang and I have to reboot. Sometimes this
will happen while I am using the computer, other times Chrome has locked
up sometime during the night . . I haven't been able to produce a
sequence of steps that will reliably reproduce the problem. The
hardware comparison is:
Old New
Motherboard Intel DG45ID Asus Z97-A
CPU Intel 2 Quad CPU Q9505 @2.83GH Intel i7-4790K CPU @
4.00GHz
RAM 4 * 2GB DDR2 Synchronous 800 MHz 4 * 8GB DDR3 Synchronous
1600 MHz
(I can supply output of lshw if anyone thinks it is useful).
I was expecting all my Chrome-induced HW problems to disappear - not get
worse! Anyone got any ideas about debugging to find out what is going
on?
Thanks,
Phil.

Re: backup snapshot posting
by Paul Livingston
Excellent post! I'm not the OP but this scratches and itch for me particularly since it is a bare metal solution
Thanks

Fedora on 2-in-1 or "hybrid" laptops
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Who has experience with installing Fedora on a 2-in-1 or "hybrid"
laptop--the kind with the detachable keyboard and the screen that can
play "touch" when you want to use it that way?
I'm in the market for such a device, and I want to know: will it run
properly with Fedora? Which brand would work best?

Sound and networking not working after fedup from 20 to 22
by fedora2015
I know this is very vague, but I don't have access to the machine in
question for the time being. A friend of mine, who is even less
experienced than myself, used "fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct"
to upgrade from fedora 20 to 22. His sound and networking stopped
functioning.
When he boots into his machine he gets "network has been disconnected"
as a message. "Enable networking" is checked in network manageer"
"ONBOOT= Yes" is also there in the appropriate ifcfg confi files.
Regarding the sound...I'm not sure where to start. A push in the right
direction would be appreciated...

Want to help a friend with a desktop problem
by JD
She is running mate desktop.
She does not recall what key sequences she pushed,
but now, Cntrl-Alt-F[23456...] no longer work.
I tried it on her computer under her login, and it does not work.
Creating another account and login in with that account, it works.
So, something changed, that has disabled the cntrl-alt-f keys.
Any clues how to restore it?

numlockx blocks lightdm
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I want to lock the numerical pad (which is not the default
behaviour...) and installed numlocks... but nothing has changed.
So I added /usr/bin/numlockx on in the [SeatDefaults] section of
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
But, this blocks lightdm at boot time... so I cannot have a complete
graphical boot, stopped after the last loaded systemd service...
How to get the numerical pad locked when a user log in?
(using xfce4 as window manager)
Thank you.
