possibly OT: emacs update on Fedora does not like my default font
by Ranjan Maitra 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hello, After last night's update to emacs on F32, I can no longer use emacs with my default font. When I fire it up, I get a second window open and the following: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/user/.emacs’: Symbol's function definition is void: set-default-font To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. ---------------- My own .emacs has the following set at: (set-default-font "10x20") Any suggestions as to what I should look at/change? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Anyone know how to get around a java script on this web page?
by ToddAndMargo 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hi All, This is a puzzle I have been working on for about two years. On this web page: https://www.eset.com/us/business/endpoint-security/windows-security/downloa… From the command line, I am trying to read the revision shown here: https://ibb.co/RHJShwh which is 7.3.2039.0. Problem is that the revision is generated by a java script. And curl and wget have no way of running java scripts. And I have not figured out how to get it with headless Firefox. I asked ESET if they'd give me a direct download link, but they ignored me. Any of you guys have a cleaver way to cli extract the revision? Many thanks, -T

Off-Topic - please do not shoot the messenger
by David 24 Aug '20

I have been using Fedora Rawhide as my only operating system for over a year. I love it. My teenager is attending school this semester 100% online and they are 100% on their own to do all their studies, as my wife and I are not able to be there to help. The stress of all that is overwhelming. Due to various logistics, I just had to buy her a computer, and after careful pondering, I purchased the ACER 24 inch All-in-One Chrome-based computer. I am extremely impressed with this device ( but it is $ 600 ). My only regret now is not getting a more powerful one. Why is that you may ask, as Chrome OS is fairly lightweight ? Running GNU/Linux on this computer is a breeze. Based on my first impression, this implementation of Linux just may be the future of mainstream desktop Linux. The Linux that is installed is "Debian 10 Buster." I do not know much about Debian. But the integration of the apps with Chrome was amazing. Anyone familiar with Gnome 3, can figure this implementation out. In the present form of this implementation of Linux, a person would either have to already know some Linux, or have a tutor or someone sit down with them and show them what all the hoopla is about. This purchase may just be the best investment that I ever made. Only downside so far, is that certain apps may be limited in function. For example, I could not change the tiles in the game "gnome-mahjongg." I do not yet know enough about this implementation to do everything I want to do, but it looks like I will be able to figure it out. You have to know Debian command line and understand the exact names of the programs in their repository to install them. Here is a basic summary of how to get started. 1 ) In the Settings Menu is a icon of cute fat penquin that says "Linux Beta." Click install and wait a few minutes depending on your internet speed. This machine has ethernet. 2 ) a linux terminal pops up, and you can make it full-screen. the command line will be: name@penguin:~$ 3 ) sudo work out of the box ( and with no password ). so, type "sudo apt-get install gnome-mahjonng aisleriot libreoffice-writer" would install those three programs you can launch them from terminal or go to the graphical launcher and there will be an icon for Linux apps. I now have a whole lot of new fun stuff to learn, like how to run Fedora Rawhide on a ChromeOS computer. Supposedly there will be a way to load it from a USB flash-drive. I will try to make a video someday on YouTube about all this. David Locklear Arcola, Texas USA

gnome-software thinks Fedora 33 is available now
by Gordon Messmer 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Recently, gnome-software has started alerting me that a new version of Fedora is available. I haven't seen anyone else mention this happening, so I assume that there's something misconfigured on my system. Where does gnome-software get the list of available releases, on Fedora?

Bluetooth Headset Not Working
by Richard Kimberly Heck 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Hi, all, I gather this is something of a known issue, but I wonder if anyone here can help. I'm trying to set up a bluetooth headset for use when teaching by Zoom. I have tried this with two different headsets and have the same problem with both. Pairing goes fine. If I choose "High Fidelity Playback" as the profile, the sound works, but the mic does not work (unsurprisingly). If I choose "Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)", then nothing works: No sound, and no mic. This is all being done in pavucontrol, and I'm running KDE if that's relevant. Thanks for any help. Riki

kernel-5.7.17 NFS client can't "see" all directories/files
by Anthony Joseph Messina 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Strange thing after upgrading a client to kernel-5.7.17, the client is unable to list files/directories from an NFS server running kernel-5.7.15 (NFS v4.2 / Kerberos mounted /home). The files/directories seem to be accessible if I type in their names, but are not available via ls -l. Reverting the client to kernel-5.7.15 restores the expected behavior (all files/directories are visible again). Has anyone else see this? -- Anthony - https://messinet.com F9B6 560E 68EA 037D 8C3D D1C9 FF31 3BDB D9D8 99B6

network printer discovery
by Neal Becker 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Network printer discovery is not currently working. I have used this printer before from this fedora laptop, but now cups can't communicate with it, and if I try to add printer, no network printers are discovered. I can get to the printer's web page from this laptop, and I can print from other devices. What could I do to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Neal -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*
