gaupol
by François Patte
Bonjour,
Does anybody know gaupol? I want to open a video file mp4 and the answer
is:
gst-core-error-quark: a plugin is missing in your gstreamer installation
Ok, but which plugin? I have no crystal ball and try randomly some
plugins...
I failed! Does anyone know which plugin is necessary to open a (widely
known) mp4 file with gstreamer?
Thank you.

Opera Browser and Opera Mail under Fedora 32.
by Ger van Dijck
Hi all,
I upgraded Fedora31 to Fedora32 and suddenly missed Opera Mail and Opera
Browser.
Question : Is there a way (rpm) to install Opera under F32 ?
I had a solution under F31 : For the Browser I did install Opera stable
and for the Mail agent I did install very long ago a older version (I
belief 12) with the browser and mail combined .
Any help would be usefull ,
Regards ,
Ger van Dijck.

Reading this article, I am beginning to really detest systemd....
Why does it have to hang its tentacles on the home directory?

If we continue like this, soon Linux will have a "Registry" and "Registry Editor"
Just another step towards windows-13.

fedora 32 install success
by Tom Horsley
Finally got around to rsyncing my fedora 32 virtual machine
image to a spare partition on my desktop and editing
all the stuff pointing at the wrong UUID and such.
Almost worked the first time, but it hung in the initial
boot. Chrooting into the image and running dracut to
update the initramfs fixed it though (I assume it was
missing support for my M.2 storage).
I can now boot fedora 32 as well as fedora 31, just need
to replicate all my installed software and settings and
I'll be able to switch over for real.
(Aside: Is the default gnome background designed to
drive away first time users? They could easily leap
to the conclusion that the rest of the distro will
be as awful as that background :-).

usb issue
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I just installed
Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso
on a customer's old laptop. The laptop previously had
Windows XP installed on it. So many things had gone
wrong that it was time to try something else.
Okay, the laptop now runs beautifully, with one exception.
If I copy files from a USB3 flash drive (all the ports
are USB2) the entire machine freezes: screen, mouse,
keyboard are completely frozen.
Now I tortured the machine for hours with streaming
this and that, kpat, etc.. As long as I do not
insert a USB3 flash drive, the machine works perfectly.
May I presume that her USB2 ports are power
compromised? Your thoughts.
Many thanks,
-T

Old Red Hat bugzilla pwd
by Beartooth
In course of trying to repair mate-panel on a Thinkpad, I hit a
bug that might could deserve notice (I seem to have gotten the whole
machine downgraded somehow.) -- and discovered that I still have an RH-
bgz account for my public address (the one I use here).
I haven't had occasion to use it in years (Yay Fedora!), and have
no clue any more what my old password may be. Is there a way I can
legitimate myself and have that password (or if need be, the whole old
account) deleted, so that I can report a new oddity? Should I just report
it here?

"watch" and quotes problem?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I want to run the following command
ls -al /lin-bak | grep -i OurStuff.tar | awk '{print $9, $5}'
with a "watch" on it
How do I get past the embedded quotes issue with
$ watch -n 2 "ls -al /lin-bak | grep -i OurStuff.tar | awk '{print $9,
$5}'"
watch: failed to parse argument: 'ls -al /lin-bak | grep -i OurStuff.tar
| awk '{print , }'': Invalid argument
Many thanks,

How could this happen? Is it save to remove remove?

What are pcscd and sys_nice??
by Beartooth
Upon trying to open a 5-line URL at NYT, I just got an alert
saying, "SELinux is preventing pcscd from using the sys_nice capability."
I tried searching, and got nothing specific to SELinux nor Fedora;
what I did find is way over my head.
