Using Google Mock
by Jeandet Alexis 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

Hi, Does anyone uses Google Mock from fedora repositories (gmock.noarch)? If yes why it doesn't ship gmock dll but only gmock source files, why we don't have a gmock.x86_64 package as for gtest? Should we build it locally for each app, what is the procedure? Best regards, Alexis.

looking for summary of multiple/related (fedora-based) git repo "solutions"
by Robert P. J. Day 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

for my own benefit, i'd like to write a short wiki page on the variety of (ideally fedora-packaged) solutions to how to combine multiple git repos into a single build environment. preferably, these solutions would either be part of git proper, or come in git-related rpm files as easy additional package installations. i'm also open to third-party solutions (say, hosted at github or sourceforge) that might be yet another solution. the first choices are obvious: * git submodules * git subtrees * google's "repo" command * gitslave? (http://gitslave.sourceforge.net/) * git-subdir? (https://github.com/andreyvit/git-subdir) * etc, etc ... obviously, preference is given to solutions either part of git proper, or available as git extension packages. also, i'm interested in both benefits and drawbacks of any approach -- for instance, from way back here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3904932 as i was investigating feedback on google's "repo" command, i read this: ===== snip ===== mindjiver 1628 days ago [-] Well, since the maintainer of repo wants to kill it off, it is perhaps not surprising that it is badly maintained at the moment. exDM69 1628 days ago [-] Do you have a source for that? If this information is true, I could use it to help convince our management at work that we should move off Repo and into Git submodules. mindjiver 1628 days ago [-] Not on paper but Shawn Pearce (Gerrit/repo maintainer) said it at GitTogether 2011. But wanting to kill something off and actually doing it, they are of course different. ===== end snip ===== this was the first i'd heard of any indication that "repo" was deprecated, if that's even true. and that is from way back in 2011. anyway, simple links to possible solutions will be just fine, and i'll take it from there and slap together a wiki page. thanks for any assistance. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Dell Latitude E7470 Install: Selected boot device failed
by Michael B Allen 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

I'm trying to boot the latest Fedora Live iso on a brand new Dell and I'm getting: Selected boot device failed What is the trick to getting this to boot? I just dd'd the iso on the USB drive. Do I need to make it bootable or some such? I updated the BIOS to the latest. I verfied everything works as it should under Windows. I tried playing with the BIOS settings but stuff is mostly disabled already. I tried booting in both Legacy and UEFI modes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nursing a 5 year old Toshiba with CentOS 6 and it's time to upgrade. I've been using Linux as my primary machine since late 90's but it has been so long since I last installed on a newish laptop I have no idea what the issues are anymore. Help! Mike

issue with pycam
by Howard Howell 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi, everyone, I use Pycam with my milling machine. The process I follow is: design with OpenSCAD, export as DXF or STL format. Open with PYCAM and adjust settings for feedrate, speed, bit size and so forth as required for the project and material. Load the DXF or STL file and run one of the tool paths. This has worked for years with no issues. Today, though, Pycam fails. No errors when the window closes suddenly withour finishing the job. So I started Pycam from the terminal windows and here are the error messages: Psyco is not available (performance will probably suffer slightly) Enabled 8 parallel local processes Font directory: /usr/share/pycam/fonts Loading task settings file: /home/lesh/CNC/PYCAM/plywood.conf Imported STL model: 839 vertices, 0 edges, 1444 triangles No previous undo state available - request ignored Imported STL model: 518 vertices, 0 edges, 800 triangles radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 Toolpath generation time: 6.927992 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x882000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x881000 radeon: Failed to deallocate virtual address for buffer: radeon: size : 4096 bytes radeon: va : 0x884000 Segmentation fault (core dumped) Here is my machine configuration:

Forward and Backward Steppers missing in Thunderbird and Possibly Firefox
by Stephen Morris 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi, I'm using Thunderbird 52.0a1 and I have an issue with the forward and backward steppers (top and bottom arrows on scrollbars) missing. In another thread Tom Horsley provided a gtk-3 css script that needed to be placed in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. This script rectified the missing arrows issue when I was using KDE, but now that I am trying Gnome this script does not appear to work, what needs to be done to get the script to work under Gnome? regards, Steve

F23: KDE menu launch SSH inside konsole fails after update
by Gary Stainburn 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

I don't know when it stopped working working, but it was recently. Unfortunately, with almost daily updates I don't know what's caused it. I have menu entried within my KDE which start a ssh command inside a konsole. This has worked fine for as long as I can remember (F9 or before) However, now when I try, I get the launch feedback, the konsole window never opens. If I open a konsole session, e.g. by right clicking the desktop, and then run the ssh command then all works fine. Can annyone suggest how I can debug/fix the problem?

Alt tab with 2+ monitors
by Cássio Pereira 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

So, Ubuntu handles alt+tab correctly when you have more than one monitor. It displays the app switcher on the window you're currently active on. Fedora always displays the app switcher on the primary monitor. Any way to display it on all monitors or, ideally, only on the one you're currently working on? I'm using Fedora 24 with Gnome 3. Thanks, Cássio -- Cássio M. M. Pereira, PhD Head of Data Science Veridu

Then if you want to change your GNOME Shell theme, you need to enable to User Shell Theme extension. That extension should be there by default in Fedora 23 and 24 if I remember correctly. This will allow you to change the overall theme of top bar, for example opening the drop down calendar up top and colour of the panel. If you want to change just the colour of the panel, I used to use an extension to do that but I cannot find it anymore. You'll have to dig up the .css file or create one if it doesn't already exist. Alternatively you can find an extension that changes it (mine changes it to a dark grey, for example). There is no way that I know of to preview extensions or themes. I just go off screenshots or download them and try them out, there isn't really any harm in doing so. You will need to google/duck/etc some themes, gnome-look.org has some you can take a peek at. Thanks, Bryon
