building .rpm for a GO app
by arnaud gaboury 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

I am writing a .spec file for an app writen in GO. I am a litle confused how to indicate revision and release, following this wiki[0]. The app is in a git repo. When cloning and cd the dir app, I run this command: $ git describe --long | sed 's/^v//;s/$[^-]*-g$/r\1/;s/-/. This gives me for example : 3.4.0.r246.g428444d Is the global revision is 428444d, (which is in fact the number of the last commit) OR r246.g428444d ? Version is 3.4.0 Then, how can I indicate this in my spec file? Of course, I don't know version + revision before I clone. Thank you for help [0]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Go

gnome-terminal --display-factory
by Michael B Allen 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

I have been using this external editor command for the Sylpheed mailer: gnome-terminal --disable-factory -x vim '%s' This allows launching a terminal with vi so that I can capture shell command output, edit things with vi and insert files and such. This is a very powerful and important feature. However after installing F24, this no longer works. The --disable-factory option is no longer supported. It launches but after returning control to Sylpheed, the content is lost. Nothing is inserted into the message. I can only assume this has something to do with --disable-factory. Does anyone have a recommended work-around? I know gnome-terminal is "special" so perhaps there is another terminal for Fedora? What is the most popular terminal other than gnome-terminal? I pretty much only use Linux for the shell and vi. I have about 10 terminals on 5 workspaces going concurrently. So I'm hoping hard that there are still decent terminals around. Mike

After fedup F23 -> F24 no more left-handed mouse
by Mark 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hi I just upgraded my desktop from F23 to F24 via fedup and after that the setting to have the right mouse button as the primary one has no effect. That is I go to All Settings -> Mouse & Touchpad and select Right as the primary button. But it has no effect at all. Even when I go to Test Your Settings it still reports that the right button is the secondary one. Is there some config file that I could tweak to set this?

Problem with keyboard shortcuts and layouts
by Jeandet Alexis 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hi all, I have a laptop with a French (azerty) layout and an USB Dvorak(US) keyboard(a TypeMatrix 2030). So I added my dvorak keyboard in the gnome -settings input sources menu. I can easily switch between keyboards with Super+Space but shortcuts doesn't work with my dvorak keyboard. It looks like the input source switch doesn't apply for shortcuts. Example: My default layout is azerty. -I switch to Dvorak with Super+Space. -Typing works correctly on my Dvorak keyboard. -I try Ctrl+S to save a file on Gedit it comments out current line like I if typed Ctrl+m -Without switching back to azerty I type Ctrl+s on my azerty keyboard and it saves the document. I have this problem with most apps. Did I miss something? Any hints? Best regards, Alexis.

I am writing a spec file to build an app. The build failed with this error: *** ERROR: No build ID note found in /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mattermost-3.4-1.fc24.x86_64/usr/share/webapps/mattermost/bin/platform Googling it, I found a few "tricks" which I tried but don't work: - Adding "LDFLAGS+=--build-id" - adding %global _missing_build_ids_terminate_build 0 What can I do to solve this issue ? Note: the application is written in Go. Thank you for help.

/usr/lib & /usr/lib64 & %{_libdir} in .spec files
by arnaud gaboury 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Below is part of my .spec file: -------------------------------------------------- %install install -Dm644 mattermost.service %{buildroot}/usr/lib/systemd/system/mattermost.service install -Dm644 mattermost-user.conf %{buildroot}/usr/lib/sysusers.d/mattermost.conf %files %{_libdir}/systemd/system/mattermost.conf %{_libdir}/sysusers.d/mattermost.conf ---------------------------------------------- which throw two errors when building: error: File not found: /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mattermost-3.4-1.fc24.x86_64/usr/lib64/systemd/system/mattermost.conf error: File not found: /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mattermost-3.4-1.fc24.x86_64/usr/lib64/sysusers.d/mattermost.conf I understand I installed these two files in /usr/lib/ (which is what I want), as said by the below output: ---------------------------------------------------------- + install -Dm644 mattermost.service /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mattermost-3.4-1.fc24.x86_64/usr/lib/systemd/system/mattermost.service + install -Dm644 mattermost-user.conf /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mattermost-3.4-1.fc24.x86_64/usr/lib/sysusers.d/mattermost.conf ---------------------------------------------------------- BUT Fedora is looking for them in /usr/lib64, right ? So %{_libdir} seems to point to /usr/lib64 rather than to /usr/lib as mentioned in wiki[0]. Am I right? Shall I then write this in %files ? : /usr/lib/systemd/system/mattermost.conf /usr/lib/sysusers.d/mattermost.conf Thank you for help. [0]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

Re: [SOLVED] Dell E7470 Install: No bootable device found

I have resolved the issue. The machine came with Windows 7 which uses BIOS (aka Legacy Mode) and not UEFI so I don't even have a UEFI boot partition. But to boot Fedora Live from USB, I had to switch from Legacy Mode to UEFI in system setup (F12 at the Dell logo when booting). Changing this *back* to Legacy Mode after the installation now loads the grub screen and I can get into the hard disk installation.

starting remote firefox via SSH
by bruce 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi. This is a "continuation" of the issue of starting firefox for a diff user on a box. If one logs into (SSH) into a remote box, and wants to start firefox on the remote machine, such that all firefox operations occur on the remote machine.. Different sites suggest setting the DISPLAY var, as well as xauth, etc.. none of which seem to work. The local/remote are both centos/fed. The goal: To be able to SSH into a remote box, and run a py script that initiates a py/selenium binding/process to use firefox. -This requires that the remote box be able to start/run firefox for the user that the SSH session was started as/under. The SSH/Firefox issue: -How to SSH into the box, and start firefox? (Already set up the keys, to allow ssh into the box vai ssh 192.168.1.4) Tried: ssh 192.168.1.4 foo@box1# DISPLAY=0: firefox ---ERROR: cannot open display: 0: foo@box1# export DISPLAY=0: foo@box1# firefox ---No protocol specified ---ERROR: cannot open display: 0: This has to be simple! Any thoughts??

Emacs24 at f24/f25
by Gour 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello, after experiencing some problem between Emacs-25 and org-mode (org’s ELPA), I had to downgrade to Emacs24(.5.1) on my Debian Sid machine. Since I’m considering to migrate fully to Fedora I wonder if one can use Emacs24 on newly installed f24 and/or f25-beta? I have f25-beta installed on my netbook, but it seems only Emacs25 is available? Any hint? Sincerely, Gour -- A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires — that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still — can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.
