Default browser
by Beartooth 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

In the past, I have always set my default browser to Dillo, which is very fast and very safe; and it usually shows me at least enough to guess reasonably well whether I want to go on, switch to another browser, or skip the site. I've managed to make it a partial default (under xfce4 in F18). Pan, for instance, routinely opens links in Dillo. Alpine, however, does not. (I run Alpine on a remote host, over ssh; is that relevant? It does open Firefox.) Like so many other things of late, the software to set default choices seems to have been moved to some new place, without leaving a spoor behind to follow. So the place I found to set defaults is quite likely not the main one. What is?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Hello, The viewing ot the attached file is correct with xpsd and acroread, but is wrong with evince. The correct character is a \Delta with the wrong character for me is \Phi. Would you know what is wrong?

Can't stand Gnome3, I think it's time for Fedora to move on
by Hugh Caley 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

I'm voting for Cinnamon, since the developer of compiz isn't interested in keeping it going. But maybe if MATE was the default for Fedora he'd change his mind? Or someone else would take over?

Best (Fedora) way to capture/archive videos for LATER editing?
by M. Fioretti 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Greetings, I already know my way around nonlinear video editing on Linux. This time I'm looking for pointers to general information useful for the procedure below, as well as tips on the best software and hardware peripherals to do it on Fedora boxes. My relatives asked me to "make sense" of the family home made videos. So I should transform an ugly mess of already existing analog or digital movies of ALL sorts into one archive of digital video clips ready for later editing. "ALL sorts" means everything from VHS and DV tapes to home-made DVDs and NEVER edited footage by assorted camcorders, smartphones, digital cameras.. "later editing" means that the "ONLY" thing I'm supposed to do now is: - capture the video from FireWire camcorders, VHS players etc, when not already on file - discard all the useless scenes (like those ten-minutes-long close ups of the ground of the inside of a backpack, because somebody forgot to turn the camcorder off and started walking...) - convert all what's left, regardless of its origin, in clips in one open digital format. Possibly lossless, possibly able to carry some metadata inside like author, comments, subject tags... all the real editing and "publishing", like mixing clips, adding effects, titles and soundtracks, uploading to YouTube, burning to DVD, whatever.. will happen later, if/when somebody feels like it. I "just" have to prepare the raw video archive, that is to save the footage (minus the useless scenes) all in one place. Therefore, the questions are: what do you think is the best "one, open digital format" (assuming it exists...) that would make it possible later editing and transcoding, with the smallest possible degradation? What forums or online tutorials would you recommend to know more on this? What Fedora-compatible video capture hardware should I buy to hook VHS players, Firewire camcorders... to my computer? what tools do you recommend (command-line stuff is OK) for grabbing the video from that hardware, transcoding and saving to disk only specified parts automatically (meaning connect the VHS player, then tell Fedora "save by yourself only the first 5:30 minutes, then from minute 40:20 to 43:10, of the incoming video") Thanks a lot for any feedback Marco

accessing a network scanning device
by lee 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Hi, how would I go about accessing a scanning device that is connected via network? The device is an OKI MB441 and supports TWAIN and WSD (whatever that is ...). Google hasn't been helpful at all with this. Everyone seems to assume that you would connect the scanner to a computer through USB, SCSI or a parallel cable and make the scanner available on the network through the computer it is connected to by running saned on the computer. I have it the other way round, the scanner is on the network and I want to access it from my computer via network. -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)

F18: TigerVnc incomplete?
by Dan Thurman 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

What's up with TigerVnc? It seems to be missing the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon and other icons for Windoes? If there is another VncClient that has it, what would it be?

Up to F20??
by Beartooth 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Do we know yet whether those of us on F18 (lots of us, if my impression is accurate) who want to move up to F20 but prefer to avoid a fresh install with all its restorations from backups -- whether we'll be better off running fedup twice, or upgrading with a medium? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
