Chromium libusb errors
by Jens Neu 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Dear all, anyone else seeing this since some days? /usr/bin/chromium-browser: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/chromium-browser: undefined symbol: libusb_interrupt_handle_event I'm using repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/ on 23, everything is up-to-date. I'm aware of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium and the problems around, the error is the same on stable an the copr repo. My suspicion is, the libusbx from updates (1.0.21-0.1.git448584a.fc23) breaks something that libusbx from fedora-chromium-stable (1.0.20-101.fc23) is trying to get right? If you google the error, you get exactly one (!) hit, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=266149 which is not particulary helpful. any thoughts? regards Jens

Scrolling through LO documents lets horizontal/verlitacl lines appear/disappear with some ati video cards
by Joachim Backes 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Hi F23 users, Having problems with displaying Libreoffice documents using horizontal or vertical lines: If scrolling through such documents, rather often the lines disappear or appear again. Seems a displaying problem (such printed documents show the lines always!). I think id could be a problem with the video card: 1. VGA compatible controller:Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] 2. xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.fc23.x86_64 I'm not running drivers from rpmfusion. Anybody has similar problems? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) Kernel-4.4.3-300.fc23.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/

webalizer replacement?
by Alex 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Hi, I have a fedora23 system with a few web sites, and would like to generate some stats on them. What are people using for this these days? I'd like to find total hits, bandwidth used, geolocation info, etc. I used to use webalizer, but it appears it's no longer being developed... Thanks, Alex

Fedora infra services integration with gnome desktop
by Zoltan Hoppar 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Hi, I am looking for connections, and possible integration with FedoCal, and other infra fedora services that can be added to my Gnome desktop. I have seen already OwnCloud solutions, but the question is: Is that would be possible to use OwnCloud calendar plugin, and others to be binded with our services? Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7

Thanks for that - but now that I am on the path of trying to get the plain old network setup to work . . I will continue down that path as an intellectual exercise I think . .

I have: /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/device -> ../../../acer-wmi /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/device -> ../../../acer-wmi /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill2/device -> ../../phy0 So I am presuming 0 is the WiFi. > An easier way might be installing the rfkill RPM and using its tools to > re-enable the wireless.

Making changes to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* as recommended and then doing: systemctl start network turns the WiFi light back on (!) but fails with a job error - doing: systemctl status network shows: Bringing uup interface Billion_1: command failed: Network is down (-100) Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking Doing: ifup Billion_1 Gives: wlan0 (phy #0): failed to connect, status: 1: Unspecified failure RTNETLINK answers: File exists I seem to be making progress but am still not quite there yet. Even though I have since had pointed out to me a way of getting NetworkManager to work reliably . . now I have started this exercise, I would like to get the old network method working . .
