System pauses when replaying
by Geoffrey Leach 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Configuration. Host is a Puget Systems Echo I, built on the Intel DH77DF MB. It uses an Intel i7 3.1 GHz with 2 x Patriot Signature DDR3-1333 8GB. There is a 100MHz connection to a Silicon Dust dual tuner. What's going on. While the tuner is decoding and downloading OTA TV and mplayer is replaying an MP4. the replay pauses for a second or so, repetitively. As far as I can tell, there's no loss of playback. Environment is Fedora 17. There's nothing else going on, other than the gaggle of processes that come with the OS. I'd be interested to hear speculation as to what might be going on. Thanks.

Kate over a remote connection
by Mark Haney 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Up until the latest version of Kate (3.8.5 with Qt v4.8.1 & KDE v4.8.5) I've been able to use it over a remote LAN connection without any trouble. (I know I can use vi, but unless someone can show me how to highlight perl and javascript code in vi, this is what I use) Now it's just dog slow. Simply typing a single word such as 'testing' is lagging on the keystrokes. Anybody know of a place to start figuring this out? I know I can hit the KDE people, but I'd like to have some debugging data to send to them. -- Mark Haney Software Developer/Consultant AB Emblem markh(a)abemblem.com Linux marius.homelinux.org 3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64 GNU/Linux

Grub boot menu after kernel update/install
by Mateusz Marzantowicz 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I know it's nothing serious but after installing/removing new kernel with yum my boot menu is totally messed up. What I mean here is that after clean install of Fedora (17/18) or after running grub2-mkconfig there are only two "top level" items in grub menu: 1. Fedora 2. Advanced options for Fedora I really like to have only those two items, but every kernel installation adds new items to the menu related to new kernels. Is it a bug or is it just some inconsistency? Why grub2-mkconfig makes order again but simple yum upgrade/distro-sync messes things? How can I fix permanently? Mateusz Marzantowicz

Wine + Netflix on Fedora 17
by Konstantin Svist 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

In case anyone is interested, it's now possible to get netflix running on patched wine. I've written out the way I did it on my machine, here: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_%28Watch_Instantly%29_in_… For Ubuntu there's a PPA that installs everything for you and will launch firefox/netflix in kiosk mode (i.e. fullscreen) when started. See http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html Hope this helps someone

mp4 video to AMV 160x120
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I just got a Trio v418 that was advertised as supporting mp4 video, but it does not. Only AMV. So is there a tool to convert mp4 videos to AMV format with 160x120 resolution?

Don't mess with its desktop files, your issue is something else. BTW, that looks like yumex-local.desktop which is made to install local rpm's. yumex.desktop is attached in case you lost it (?)

Yumex issue on new install
by Joe Zeff 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

I finally broke down and replaced F16 with F17 on my laptop with a clean install, except for /home. The good news is that the boot issue went away, proving that it was a software issue not a kernel issue. The bad news is that after installing yumex I can't get it to run. It asks me to authenticate, but always fails, claiming the password's wrong. I know that I haven't forgotten the root password because it's the same one I used to install yumex. I'm not at that computer right now, but I did have a thought: just on a whim, when I set up my user I made it an Admin, putting it in the wheel group. (I'm not sure why; when I was customizing my install I made sure sudo wasn't installed because I have no use for it. [I'd feel differently, of course, if this were a production box.]) Could it be expecting me to use my password instead of root's? If so, I'll take a moment and remove myself from wheel because it really doesn't matter one way or the other as long as I'm the only person who ever uses it.

Is nspluginwrapper needed for AdobeReader?
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

On f17 x86_64 I have installed AdobeReader and it seems to work just fine without nspluginwrapper.i686 Do I really need nspluginwrapper.i686? (When I googled about how to yum install AdobeReader, the site showed needing to install nspluginwrapper)
