Please make DeltaRPM for all minor and revision versions of a Firefox release
by Farhad Mohammadi Majd 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hello, size of Firefox package in Fedora/CentOS is double (89M) compared with another Linux distros, this is very huge, currently DeltaRPM for Firefox is available only from last update to current update! this means if the user don't/can't update the Firefox for only one time, he needs to download huge data, this costs bandwidth and traffic use for both the client and the repository provider this is an acute problem, because Firefox rapid release which Fedora only offers it, has very fast updates. I beg you provide DeltaRPM for all minor and revision versions of Firefox within one release, or provide Firefox ESR instead, I have currently Firefox 54.0-2 and there is a available update for 54.0.1-1, and if I want to keep the Firefox up-to-date I must download a very huge package (89M) just for a minor update! this is a disastrous situation!! I really can't continue to use Fedora if this problem don't solved.

by Antonio Olivares 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Is there any possibility of copying code from mathematica to use with maxima, octave, gnuplot to create a truncated icosahedron? Looking at page here: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/118604/3d-graphic-of-soccer… Is there possibility to make equivalent picture with opensource tooks? Some have used geogebra and have created: https://www.geogebra.org/material/show/id/xNgwKQJK https://www.geogebra.org/material/show/id/AfNmbnDD And another person using javascript https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20789627/understanding-the-geometry-of-… Using parametric one can create a sphere using gnuplot, but how can one put the faces to be pentagons and hexagons with some filled? Thanks for any pointers and advice. Best Regards, Antonio

can't reclaim disk space on F26 install
by Dave Mitchell 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

I'm trying to install F26 on an i386 system with a single 119Gb SSD. It previously had F22 installed, with a straightforward partitioning scheme: sda1 ext4 500Mb /boot sda2 LVM encrypted, and containing /, swap, /home I booted off Fedora-Workstation-Live-i386-26-1.5.iso, and in the installer, I selected: Storage Configuration: automatic ticked: "I would like to make additional space available" ticked: "Encrypt my data" done I then chose an encryption password, then the "Reclaim disk space" dialogue appeared. I selected Delete all but the "Reclaim space" button remains greyed out The "reclaim disk space" screen shows: disk name filesystem reclaimable space action ----------------- ---- ---------- ----------------- ------ 119.2 GiB ATA ... sda (blank) 118.94 GiB total Delete ext4 sda1 ext4 187MiB of 500 MiB Delete fedora sda2 LVM not resizable Delete Free space 1.3 MiB Ay the bottom of the screen it has: LHS: 1 disk: 118.94 GiB reclaimable space RHS: Total selected space to reclaim: 3.24 GiB Installation requires a total of 5.59 GiB for system data Then there is Cancel button and an inactive (greyed out) "Reclaim space" button. Any ideas how to proceed from here? For this install I'm happy to for the current disk contents to be completely blown away and for Fedora to partition the whole disk as it sees fit. -- My get-up-and-go just got up and went.

Covert a Shockwave Flash File (.swf) to something useful
by Ted Roche 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Ultimately, my goal is to post some SWF files to Youtube. An acquaintance created a series of screen-capture and audio-narration video tutorials that produced SWF files, and would now like to post them to YouTube, which doesn't appear to accept the SWF format. I found the following suggestion [1] for converting SWF to MP4 using gnash and ffmpeg, but gnash doesn't appear to be available in the Fedora repos any more. Attempting to download the source from gnu.org and build has lead to a couple of cycles of make errors, search for the missing packages, reinstall, repeat and I'm hoping there might be a better solution. Has anyone done a similar conversion or could offer suggestions? TIA!

Google Chrome won't die
by Jonathan Ryshpan 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Attempting to terminate google chrome by clicking the "X" window decoration closes sometimes leaves some of chrome's back end in existence. When this happens, further attempts to start chrome fail and parts of the system lock up in strange ways. Entering "$ chrome" into a shell locks up the shell; "^C" and "^Z" have no effect; the process(es) can't be killed by using "kill -9 <whatever>"; if the user logs out, no login is possible and the system has to be rebooted. Terminating chrome by using the build in exit command: [Customize and control Google Chrome]->Exit work OK. Has anyone else seen this? What's going on? Thanks - jon

installing Fedora 26 to a SSD
by Tim 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Hi, Have we got to the stage where the default install options for Fedora 26 work fine with a SSD, or should I be tweaking something? At the moment I've let it install with whatever parameters it does by itself. All I did was change from using LVM to EXT4 (I see absolutely no advantage to using LVM on a single-disc computer, and a lot of serious annoyances should I pull out a drive to read it on another computer). And went with the boot, system root, and swap partitions that it offers. -- Trying out Thunderbird for mail. 5... 4... 3... 2... ONE! Email has gone Boilerplate: All mail to this mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.

Is yumex working?
by François Patte 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Bonjour, I am facing a problem with yumex: I can't update a system nor install many packages at the same time: an error window opens giving a lot of error messages, mostly about python... I can only use yumex to install or update one or two packages.... Does anyone facing the same problem? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

F26 GTK icons corrupted sometimes
by Michael Schwendt 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Anyone else seeing that? When starting GTK applications such as Claws Mail or Audacious, a few icons are not displayed correctly and contain garbage. Such as the small magnifying glass icon left of the search field. Or the attachments icon. Working with the programs, window refreshes usually fix the damage, but it's odd and must be something that has crept into GNOME Shell.
