Alternatives to Theme Font size changer Firefox plugin?
by Sam Varshavchik
The popular theme font size changer Firefox plugin,
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/, no
longer supports Linux.
The default Firefox font size is too small for people with poor eyesight. As
far as I can tell, the only thing that official "Firefox themes" do is set a
background image for the UI. As Benny Hill would say, biiiiiiiiiiiiig …deal.
The top-ranked comment on that extension page suggests hacking "userChrome-
example.css" in ~/.mozilla/firefox.
$ find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name userChrome-example.css -print
$
There goes that idea.
Googling around the only other suggestion I found was to hack
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting in about:config. All that did, apparently,
was making the Firefox UI elements themselves bigger, but their font size –
the menu and the URL bar – remained exactly the same.
Anyone has other suggestions?

Changing umask in fedora24
by Alex
Hi,
I posted a message the other day regarding changing the umask for
users in an apache DocumentRoot on a fedora24 system and haven't
received any responses. Maybe my question too confusing with the
DocumentRoot discussion.
Does anyone know how to reliably change the umask for regular users
(specifically the apache user) on fedora24?
The methods I've searched and tried apparently no longer work on fedora24.
Thanks,
Alex

I was trying the local root password. It didn't occur
to me to try using the admin PIN. I'll try that next
time I'm able to reproduce the prompt (turns out
it is a little intermittent). That said, one really
*shouldn't* need the admin pin for everyday tasks.

Build rpm - extract source
by arnaud gaboury
Here is part of my spec file:
-----------------------------------------------
Name: mattermost
Version: 3.4.0
Release: 1%{?dist}
Summary: Mattermost is an open source, self-hosted Slack-alternative
URL: http://www.mattermost.org
Source0:
https://releases.mattermost.com/%{version}/mattermost-%{version}-linux-am...
License: MIT
Group: System Environment/Daemons
........
%prep
%autosetup
---------------------------
Now testing:
$ fedpkg --dist f24 prep
leaves me with this error: mattermost-3.4.0: No such file or directory
$ ls returns in fact mattermost. I guess the difference is due to untar.
How can I tell in my spec file that the source directory will be named
%{name} and not %{name}.%{version} ?
Then, I though the %autosetup macro would have download the source, which
is not the case. I need to run $ spectool -g *spec to get the source. Is it
the normal behavior?
Thank you for help.

GPG2 can't read smartcard
by Laverne Schrock
Hi,
I have several Fedora 24 boxes, all of which have
/home from NFS. Some of these boxes were fresh
installs and some are upgrades from 23 (some of
which were fresh installs, and some of which were
probably upgrades from 22, etc).
On the fresh installs, running `gpg2 --card-status`
prints out the card info. On the upgraded boxes,
running the same command gives
gpg: selecting openpgp failed: No such device
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No such device
On both boxes, `rpm -qa | grep gnupg | sort` gives
gnupg-1.4.21-1.fc24.x86_64
gnupg2-2.1.13-2.fc24.x86_64
gnupg2-smime-2.1.13-2.fc24.x86_64
On both boxes, `rpm -qa | grep pcsc` gives
pcsc-lite-1.8.17-2.fc24.x86_64
pcsc-lite-ccid-1.4.23-1.fc24.x86_64
pcsc-lite-libs-1.8.17-2.fc24.x86_64
On both boxes, `ps ax -o user,stat,command | grep scd` gives
root Ssl /usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --auto-exit
schr1230 SLl scdaemon --multi-server
On the fresh boxes, the pcscd process sometimes
dies, but it comes right back when I run `gpg2 --card-status`
again. It doesn't seem to die on the old (non-working) boxes.
I've checked dmesg and the device is being detected. It
is a Yubikey Neo. On the upgraded machines, when I log
out after trying this (or even just Ctrl-Alt-F1 to gdm) there
is a popup that says
Authentication is required to access the smartcard.
Administrator
Password: <box for pw here>
Entering the password has no effect.
Any idea on what might be different on these older systems
that prevent this from working?
Thanks,
Laverne Schrock

Off Topic- Architectural Question..
by bruce
Hey List.
This is off topic, but I noticed the list has been quiet!!
Trying to get different thoughts on how to approach an issue.
I've got a situation, where I'm going to have a shared nfs, with a
bunch of files..
I'm going to have multiple client boxes/(vms) with each client,
running apps that access the files on the main nfs.
The idea, is that a clientApp, on a given clientVM will access a file
on the nfs, and then the nfs file is no long used. The goal is to rip
through/process the nfs files as fast as possible, in a simple manner.
clientVM1
clientApp1
clientVM2
clientApp2
clientVM3
clientApp3
.
.
clientVMN
clientAppN
nfsShare
dataFiles...
The process can't have the same data file operated on by multiple clientApps.
I've thought of having a "pid" file on the nfs, where each clientApp
would reset/lock/use the pidFile to then get/use/delete the file as
required, but this seems tb slow.. but doable.
Surprisingly, in looking around, haven't come up with anything that
appears to be really better.
(I've also thought of setting up a "webservice" kind of situation,
where clients would get the "file/data" from a webservice, and the
webservice, would interface with the nfs dir.. but this would be
overkill!)
Any thoughts/comments?
Thanks

recommended way to mount a google drive on fedora 24
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Is there a recommended way to mount a google drive on Fedora 24?
I found these instructions online:
http://xmodulo.com/mount-google-drive-linux.html
(and they involve installing from some place else)
but I was wondering if there is something more recent and recommended for Fedora?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

F23 rsnapshot log timestamps funny
by Christopher Ross
Since yesterday's update of rsnapshot to
rsnapshot-1.4.2-1.fc23.noarch
The format of the date/time field in the rsnapshot.log has gone funny,
as per the following examples...
[19/Oct/2016:11:53:42] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: completed successfully
[19/Oct/2016:12:04:15] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: completed successfully
[2016-10-19T18:08:11] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: completed successfully
[2016-10-20T00:07:09] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: completed successfully
[2016-10-20T06:06:31] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: completed successfully
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there an easy fix?
Many thanks,
Chris R.
