font ttf vs. otf
by Patrick Dupre 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hello, Should I install both extensions .ttf and .otf of the same font? It is what I have now, but some applications (like xournal) offer me twice the same font. Is it the reason? Thanks. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===========================================================================

Abrt not working because retrace.fedoraproject.org is down for weeks?
by Clemens Eisserer 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hi, for quite some time (weeks/months) ABRT does not seem to work anymore, because fedora retrace servers are down: Hochladen des uReport zum Server »https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf« > mit curl: Could not resolve host: retrace.fedoraproject.org fehlgeschlagen > Effectively this means, fedora users are not able to report application/system crashes anymore. Is this a known issue? What is taking soooo long to resolve it? Thanks & best regards, Clemens

Sounds like a trick question. The answer is Flatpak. Mike On 8/6/20 6:19 AM, users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org wrote: > What am I missing if I remove flatpak?

coloured text distorted on 4k monitor
by Eyal Lebedinsky 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

I recently started using a 4k TV as a monitor. The video is natively 4k from the on-board Intel i7. I noticed that I often get difficult to read text. This is even worse when I use reverse video (black bg). Looking closer I can see that the image changes as I shift the window one pixel sideways. Seems that I get a different image when the left margin is odd and when it is even. I run a test: ============================ #!/bin/sh show_color() { x="$1" fg="-fg $2" eval xterm $fg $bg -geometry $geo+$((x+0))+$((y+0*dy)) $cmd & eval xterm $fg $bg -geometry $geo+$((x+1))+$((y+1*dy)) $cmd & eval xterm $fg $bg -geometry $geo+$((x+2))+$((y+2*dy)) $cmd & eval xterm $fg $bg -geometry $geo+$((x+3))+$((y+3*dy)) $cmd & } bg='-bg black' cmd="-e 'ls /bin/z* ; read x'" geo='70x10' y='200' dy='160' off=500 show_color $((off+0)) "rgb:ff/00/00" show_color $((off+450)) "rgb:00/ff/00" show_color $((off+900)) "rgb:00/00/ff" ============================ Each column is one color (r, g, b) and each row is shifted one pixel. Examining the windows with xmag shows clean text without any artifacts. I am not sure of the policies regarding attachments on this list, I added four small images of a closeups of some test screens. Two are green and two are blue. Each pair is shifted one pixel relative to its mate. The blue one is worse. === Images are now here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~eyaleb/attachments/20200801/dsc08803.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~eyaleb/attachments/20200801/dsc08804.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~eyaleb/attachments/20200801/dsc08806.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~eyaleb/attachments/20200801/dsc08807.jpg === Plain white text on black bg and plain black text of white bg is clean. Coloured text is problematic. Does anyone have an idea where I can look? TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

I need help with "nmcli device status"
by ToddAndMargo 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hi All, I am trying to use the nmcli command to cough up (a highly technical term) the connected state on a particular network interface. According to the man page: nmcli device {status | show | set | connect | reapply | modify | disconnect | delete | monitor | wifi | lldp} [ARGUMENTS...] ... status Print status of devices. This is the default action if no command is specified to nmcli device. So here goes without the device: $ nmcli device status DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION br0 bridge connected System br0 virbr0 bridge connected virbr0 eno2 ethernet connected eno2 eno1 ethernet unavailable -- lo loopback unmanaged -- virbr0-nic tun unmanaged -- So far so good. Now the specify as "specified" device: $ nmcli device status eno2 Error: invalid extra argument 'eno2'. Okay, what am I doing wrong/misreading? Yes, I know I can use grep and awk. I will be using Raku though: $ nmcli device status | raku -ne 'for $_.lines -> $I { if $I.contains( "connected" & "eno2" ) { say "connected"; last }}' connected Many thanks, -T

aarch64 mock gcc/annobin errors
by Sam Varshavchik 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

I'm running an F32 aarch64 guest qemu VM on an x86_64 F32 host, and, in that VM, I attempted to build something fairly simple via mock. This is my reward: configure:3590: gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,- D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fstack-protector- strong -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 - specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables - fstack-clash-protection -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now - specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld conftest.c >&5 annobin: conftest.c: AArch64: The annobin plugin is out of date with respect to gcc *** WARNING *** there are active plugins, do not report this as a bug unless you can reproduce it without enabling any plugins.

This if from a first build in mock, which presumably pulled in the most recent versions of all rpms into the chroot.

Fedora Zoom? -
by Bob Goodwin 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

I have a request from the VA to do a video interview rather than the usual secure text messages. "Do you have the ability to do a video appointment (you would need a computer with a camera or a tablet or a smartphone)." We have iPhones etc. that might work but my daughter suggests that I need 'Zoom' on my Fedora 32 computer since I have trouble with the smaller mobile devices. Is there a Linux equivalent application I can run from my desktop workstation? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD FEDORA-32/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3
