Re: evince

So what is the solution ?
I tried fedora 16, fedora 18, fedora 19 (gnome3), all give the same result
a \Phi is shown when a \Delta should be displayed.
Thank.

will configuring network allow me to install *updated* packages right from the start?
by Robert P. J. Day
sorry if this is a trivial question -- i'm just about to read
the install guide end-to-end and it might be in there. if i configure
a wireless network early in the f19 installation process, will that
support installing the updated versions of the packages, rather
than making me do a sizable "yum update" post-install?

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

The OP has known to me now...Its over but my mean to say was that some

Very OT Postgres
by Roger
Sorry for the very OT about postgres, (only claim to fame is it's on
Feora 19), but I've been on this all day and am lost, searched
StackOverflow, Postgresql pages, etc, and I am no further. I hope a psql
database admin can explain.
I have a postgres database: registration_test owned by postgres UTF8,
Access privileges =Tc/postgres, postgres=CTc/postgres, tester=CTc/postgres
Role named tester to which out of desperation I gave superuser privileges.
When I run rails command - rake test /test/mailers/notifier_test.rb I
get error:
PG::InsufficientPrivilege: ERROR: must be owner of database
registration_test
Apparently it cannot drop and recreate the database.
Rails4 database.yml
test:
adapter: postgresql
database: registration_test
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
username:
password:
Same yml, privileges, etc as development and production and they work well.
pg_hba.conf:
local all postgres 127.0.0.1/32 @authmethodhost@
local all tester 127.0.0.1/32 @authmethodhost@
Also cannot find info on what CTc/postgres means, some privileges have
C*T*c*/postgres, couldn't find info on that either.
Have restarted and reloaded postgres.
Help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
