Audio book download -
by Bob Goodwin 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

. Can anyone tell me how to download files from Amazon's audible.com with fedora 24 that I can copy to a flash drive? They refer to several applications they provide, none or which appear to be Linux apps ... Normally I just get MP3 files, etc. and can deal with them.

USB flash -
by Bob Goodwin 30 Oct '16

"Your message to the test mailing-list was rejected for the following reasons: The message is not from a list member" Perhaps someone can offer a suggestion here? = I am trying to use an USB flash drive but it does not mount/show up on desktop. It is listed under lsusb though. Normally this just works but not in this Fedora-25 beta. What am I missing or doing wrong?

gnome-abrt claims the kernel is tainted
by George R Goffe 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi, "my" fc23 x86_64 system gets the following messages below which trigger gnome-abrt execution. The results of this report that the kernel is tainted but there are no modules listed. I had assumed that the tainted flag was due to the vbox kernel modules being loaded so I used rmmod to remove them. subsequently I got another message (see below) but gnome-abrt still claims that the kernel is tainted. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks, George...

youtube-dl
by JD 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

A new strange behavior of this util. When downloading a format of the file that is pure video (i.e. no audio) I end up with tens of small files each one labeled by the name of the listed movie appended with .part-FragN where N ranges from 0 to more than 200 sometimes. I updated youtube-dl by running youtube-dl -U and retried. It does the same thing. After it finished getting all the fragments, it does not catenate them into a single video file. How can I get around this problem? Thanx!!

Alternatives to Theme Font size changer Firefox plugin?
by Sam Varshavchik 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

The popular theme font size changer Firefox plugin, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/, no longer supports Linux. The default Firefox font size is too small for people with poor eyesight. As far as I can tell, the only thing that official "Firefox themes" do is set a background image for the UI. As Benny Hill would say, biiiiiiiiiiiiig …deal. The top-ranked comment on that extension page suggests hacking "userChrome- example.css" in ~/.mozilla/firefox. $ find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name userChrome-example.css -print $ There goes that idea. Googling around the only other suggestion I found was to hack layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting in about:config. All that did, apparently, was making the Firefox UI elements themselves bigger, but their font size – the menu and the URL bar – remained exactly the same. Anyone has other suggestions?

Changing umask in fedora24
by Alex 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi, I posted a message the other day regarding changing the umask for users in an apache DocumentRoot on a fedora24 system and haven't received any responses. Maybe my question too confusing with the DocumentRoot discussion. Does anyone know how to reliably change the umask for regular users (specifically the apache user) on fedora24? The methods I've searched and tried apparently no longer work on fedora24. Thanks, Alex

It didn't occur to me to try using the admin PIN. I'll try that next time I'm able to reproduce the prompt (turns out it is a little intermittent). That said, one really *shouldn't* need the admin pin for everyday tasks.

Build rpm - extract source
by arnaud gaboury 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Here is part of my spec file: ----------------------------------------------- Name: mattermost Version: 3.4.0 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Mattermost is an open source, self-hosted Slack-alternative URL: http://www.mattermost.org Source0: https://releases.mattermost.com/%{version}/mattermost-%{version}-linux-amd6… License: MIT Group: System Environment/Daemons ........ %prep %autosetup --------------------------- Now testing: $ fedpkg --dist f24 prep leaves me with this error: mattermost-3.4.0: No such file or directory $ ls returns in fact mattermost. I guess the difference is due to untar. How can I tell in my spec file that the source directory will be named %{name} and not %{name}.%{version} ? Then, I though the %autosetup macro would have download the source, which is not the case. I need to run $ spectool -g *spec to get the source. Is it the normal behavior? Thank you for help.
