Firefox -- "Gah. Your tab just crashed"
by Jonathan Ryshpan 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I've go so many messages like this from the most recent firefox that it is unusable. I have tried removing all extensions, etc. and disabling hardware acceleration, but without any improvement. Therefor I downgraded to firefox-49.0-2.fc25, which seems to be working OK. The problem appears to be known but not widespread (see e.g.https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Firefox/Gah-Your-tab-just-crashed/td-p/1…) and no cure seems to be available on the web. Has anyone on the list seen it? The system (before the downgrade) was Fedora-25 with all upgrades installed Firefox-52.0.2-2.fc25 Thanks - jon

Cannot chvt away from X (with radeon driver)
by Ian Pilcher 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I'm not sure when this started, but I am unable to switch away from my X VT (usually VT 1) to a text VT. Actually, blind-typing shows that I am actually able to switch to the text VT, but nothing shows up; I'm left looking at a "frozen" version of the X VT contents. I am using an AMD/ATI FirePro V4900 with the open source drivers. Anyone else seeing anything like this? -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================

emacs crashes repeatedly on a C file

While editing a file in C, I have been having emacs crash on me repeatedly. Here is the error I get: Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault Backtrace: emacs[0x50ac9c] emacs[0x4f114c] emacs[0x50945e] emacs[0x509689] emacs[0x5096ef] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x115c0)[0x7f610b7205c0] emacs[0x53af6b] emacs[0x53850a] emacs[0x4a983b] emacs[0x4ada9f] emacs[0x4446b0] emacs[0x44eafe] emacs[0x451268] emacs[0x46544e] emacs[0x46852b] emacs[0x5644be] emacs[0x43227d] emacs[0x454dd9] emacs[0x456cb5] emacs[0x41f0de] emacs[0x565d20] emacs[0x59adf3] emacs[0x565b1b] emacs[0x59adf3] emacs[0x565b1b] emacs[0x59adf3] emacs[0x565b1b] emacs[0x565de8] emacs[0x5645e6] emacs[0x4f1d14] emacs[0x563e85] emacs[0x4f6407] emacs[0x4ffdab] emacs[0x564432] emacs[0x4f1614] emacs[0x5643d3] emacs[0x4f15d0] emacs[0x4f5dd7] emacs[0x4f6128] emacs[0x419d52] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1)[0x7f610af25401] ...

i want to install a package from debian to fedora
by Amir-Trend Plus 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Hi, i am a new user here, using fedora 25 with a screen reader. Since i use the assistive technology, i need to use a package, not one i think, maybe two, packages from debian. The first one, adds support for the new voice available on fedora, called, espeak-ng. It needs a driver to communicate with my speech-dispatcher, an interface that will provide speech using the synthesizer. Unfortunately, the driver is not availablne in .rpm, but in debian it is available. Both debian and rpm are using the 0.86 version of this app, so i think it is not an issue of version. I tried alien and when installing, it said conflict with file. I also cannot find the source package for this. The package i mean is, speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng, available from this link, https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng if anyone can convert it to rpm and i can install it, it will be great!

kernel 4.9.14-200
by Paolo Galtieri 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Folks, one of my systems suffers from a bug (BZ 1435000) in the latest 4.10 kernels in which the monitor attached to the system does not wake up from sleep requiring me to reboot the system to recover. During the latest updates the 4.9.19 kernel was removed from my system, and is no longer available from the repositories. Is there any way to make this kernel available so that I can re-install it to avoid rebooting the system if I step away from it for a while when running a 4.10 kernel? This issue may apply to others as well. Any assistance is appreciated. Paolo

[F25] issue with SSL connexions: Failure of SSL transaction with
by Frédéric Bron 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I often experience very slow internet surf. No idea where it comes from, just that it started when I switched from opensuse to F25. Today, I may have obtained a clue: I normally use firefox. Today I got the following issue: - searched in google for "python os.path" - clicked on the first linked https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html - nothing happened (tried many times) - I removed all firefox cookies and cache -> same issue - I removed current firefox profile and created a new one -> same issue - I tried the search on a windows computer + firefox on the same internet connexion -> no issue - I did the same on fedora with konqueror -> no issue - again with konqueror -> got an error message: "Adresse : https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html Protocole : https Date et heure : mercredi 22 mars 2017 16:47 Informations complémentaires : Échec de la négociation SSL avec docs.python.org" Which means: - again with konqueror -> error message: "Address: https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html Protocol: https Date and time: Wednesday 22nd March 2017 16:47 Additionnal informations: Failure of SSL transaction with docs.python.org" I suspect that firefox has the same error but just does nothing. What does that mean? Frédéric

screen -- long running process... cpu way up there!!!
by bruce 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hey guys/gals! Got a test that I'm running. The test has a remote box running an app on a sep box (box2). Box2 has a screen session running so you can access box2 and do a "screen -r Session1" to access the running output. All of this works as expected. However, when I examine the "top" function in box2 I get the following. As you can see, it shows the screen session running at 99% of CPU!!! So, my question I guess how can I resolve this! The process/app running in the screen is essentially looping through the lines in a file, and doing some processing... For the 1st 2K lines or so the cpu doesn't appear to be doing anything weird.. in fact the cpu data isn't even shown in the top process... Thoughts/comments are welcome.. Thanks

Behavior Midnight Commander with exiting to the last active directory
by John Pover 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Dear readers, Since this weeks update of Midnight Commander (mc-4.8.19.1.fc25.x86_64.rpm) it's normal behavior when exiting to the last panelized directory has changed. If you have started mc from the command line in a terminal or konsole it will now exit to the directory from which you have started regardless of whatever directory was active in the last active panel. So far none of the classic remedies have success in restoring the proper behavior. These are : 1) Putting the line " alias mc='. /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' " in .bashrc. 2) Creating an executable exitcwd and putting the line " alias mc='. ~/.config/mc/exitcwd' " in .bashrc. Etc, etc. Has anyone experienced the same and perhaps found it's causes and hopefully it's cures ? Regards John

firefox: characters showed as squares
by Frédéric Bron 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

firefox now shows characters as squares instead of normal letters so that it is unusable. I removed all history but it did not change anything. I created a new profile but it is still the same. I found one thing that works: untick "allow websites to use their own fonts". But why? I have 2 F25 computers, this happens only on one of them (the one on which I use the nvidia proprietary drivers). Frédéric
