Copr builds for Fedora 25?
by Richard W.M. Jones 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

I see in the settings of my Copr repository that Fedora 25 isn't available. Of course F25 is only in Alpha at the moment, but there is a Fedora Rawhide option, which is even more "alpha" than F25. Importantly this means I cannot build nor install the packages on the Fedora 25 Alpha server that I just set up. Could F25 be added earlier? Perhaps when it branches?

F24: wakeup multiple screen config random
by Neal Becker 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Congratulations are in order! It has long been believed that truly random sequences can't be produced by deterministic machines, but this has now been demonstrated. Every time my laptop wakes up, it's screen config is different (multiple screens). Including the presence and locations of any panels. I set it for external monitor right-of laptop, but when it wakes it could be any of: monitor off any random geometric arrangement and this morning: clone

using a web camera
by Angelo Moreschini 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hi, I am trying to set my computer to use a web camera (this function doesn't work actually with cheese, for example). With this program (cheese) I can see images by the camera, but when I shot an image, then the image that appears in the window of shot images is blank... I read the document The Webcam HOWTO (at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Webcam-HOWTO/) and I tried to do what wrote there, but I hadn't success... Can I get an concrete help to achieve my purpose ? Thank you Angelo

Threaded view of the Users list
by Robert McBroom 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Is there any way to get a threaded view of the users list in a browser without going through an intermediary email program? Since a login is forced, I created a junk account on Yahoo but the stock email is very clumsy. Thunderbird is not much better. It was so simple to follow a thread in a browser and use the history chain to jump back to the list. Other viewers have been around from time to time but seem to have all been broken.

2-in-1 Tablet Autorotate screen
by Christopher 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi all, I have a Dell 2-in-1 tablet/laptop (Inspiron 7352), and I'm trying to figure out how to get the auto-rotate of the screen to work again, when I fold back the screen into tablet mode. This worked briefly on F23, but then it stopped at some point, and hasn't worked at all in F24. Does anybody know what Fedora component is responsible for handling this? Does anybody know what settings I need to change to make it work routinely? The following is the output of `xinput list`, if it helps. ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Chicony Wireless Device id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Chicony Wireless Device id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DLL06B5:00 06CB:75DB Touchpad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=18 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen Pen id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Chicony Wireless Device id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ DELL Wireless hotkeys id=19 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=20 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Chicony Wireless Device id=21 [slave keyboard (3)]

F24, changing Thunar (Xfce) default archive manager
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

I prefer engrampa to xarchiver. In F22, after a couple times selecting engrampa from the right click, Thunar just started using it as the default. That has not happened in F24 (I download a couple lectures each day as zips that require using the archive manager daily). I looked in preferences for thunar, and no where is there control for the archive manager. Nor is there for xfce's default applications. Anyone with ideas, experiences?

evercookies.
by William Mattison 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi all, Two questions about "evercookies". I think this could be useful to others in this forum as well as to me. 1. On my home Fedora-23 (updated weekly) workstation, how do I find and truly, fully, permanently get rid of whatever evercookies might be on my system? If y'all don't mind, I'd also like to know how to find and delete "evercookies" on my home windows-7 box, if there are any. 2. I use Firefox (updated weekly) for browsing. On my home Fedora-23 workstation, how do I block or prevent the storage of evercookies on my system? If y'all don't mind, I'd also like to know to to block or prevent the storage of "evercookies" on my home windows-7 box. I'm already using "No-Script" (on both systems) if that's relevant. thanks, Bill.

I actually created an RPM from their linux zip file that I used on my F22 box and now CentOS 7.
