by Robin Laing 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

Hello, I was trying to install the InventorLoader addon for FreeCAD and it requires three python modules to install. xlrd, xlwt and xlutils xlrd and xlwt are available through DNF, xlutils isn't. I saw it mentioned in an old bug report but nothing more. I would like to request that this package be added. https://pypi.org/project/xlutils/

This is a test. I sent a message asking about editors a bit after noon today. I have not seen a post to this list since 1:22pm today. I am a bit concerned I am having problems with the list, or the list itself is having problems. So this is a list ping....

Rhythmbox: Removing old podcasts
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 Aug '19

03 Aug '19

I've been downloading podcasts to Rhythmbox for a while and have now accumulated about 88 Gbytes of them. I would like to delete the old ones, say older then 4 months, while preserving the feeds. What's the easy way to do this? A while searching the web has produced no help, not even the location of a Rhythmbox mailing list. Thanks in advance for your help - jon

Editor with Markdown folding support
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

I have been using Geany for some time for my html and xml (Internet Drafts) writing. Now I am being pushed to learn the IETF kramdown approach to writing drafts which is based on Markdown. The markdown plugin for Geany only colorizes SOME of the tags used. Most importantly I cannot 'fold' blocks of text I am not currently working on like I do for xml and html all the time So does anyone have experience with at least Markdown and can recommend another editor to try? thanks

Video on Chrome crashes gnome-shell
by SternData 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

I recently rebuilt my desktop to a clean F30 installation. Now I'm seeing gnome-shell crashing when I try to view a video in Chrome. I'd love to upload the report, but abrt reports a "ureport" error. In any case, is this just me or is it more widespread? Chrome: Version 76.0.3809.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) Gnome-shell: 3.32.2-2 The same videos played in Firefox are no problem. -- -- Steve

I need a second pair of eyes on this rm command
by ToddAndMargo 01 Aug '19

Hi All, I can delete these directories from any GIU file manager, but not from the command line. I think I am making a typo here, but I am not seeing it. Would you guys mind being a second pair of eyes for me? $ rm -rf '/home/todd/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage/*' $ ls -al '/home/todd/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage/' total 56 drwx------. 14 todd users 4096 Jul 31 21:10 . drwx------. 5 todd users 4096 Dec 25 2018 .. drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 Jun 14 16:13 198b1dbef7ece2ad03770a72810f2b485859f245 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 14 17:55 2a51ee93d9e3e7bb00e59a2855ec142f6ddcc349 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 Jul 14 18:49 3a6faf96138604257eb4b8adcb261bd5e4ab0f95 drwx------. 4 todd users 4096 Jun 15 21:12 41dfe02456f6f4da9222b2a575ec19bb6b01b882 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 14 19:00 448124daccd0345a938712298d729cd894d33f8f drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 Jul 22 01:30 76ef9e5953a1ba4578548bb32235240a9f0e0ca2 drwx------. 6 todd users 4096 May 21 18:40 942ee46ae9f000b969e9e0558a43880ffd5ccf77 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 22 17:33 a4f47a4fad321b4573c4351081173d302a9112d0 drwx------. 4 todd users 4096 Jul 6 01:27 b1d54369f9d999fc195a9bd1920773b613058719 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 4 00:46 cca3f0d9ad2c35cb718c129cd3407b7abf527ae2 drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 31 17:06 d3f4778886098fd54296f586f474e15474d4787b drwx------. 3 todd users 4096 May 14 18:45 e8f382afbb3541392b00388e574c242bed39bb1e Many thanks, -T

core dumps
by ToddAndMargo 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Hi All, A vendor wants me to set up core dumps for him on a Fedora 30 server. Is this link from 2012 still valid? https://radek.io/2012/02/11/core-dumps-in-fedora/ And is there a way to set up core dumps on only particular software? (Okay, I know, split infinitive, but you know what I mean.) Many thanks, -T
