Gnome3's password entry prompt blocks access to anything else
by Dario Lesca
When gnome3 application (es evolution) ask password of some account
that not want to save it to keyring (Seahorse), the access to other
application (es. gnome-terminal or keepass, my keyring) or other desktop
is disable.
I have found only this tread on this problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688434
But the solution proposed at comment #33, works only partially: it is
not possible to type some text on other application, only mouse work.
It's possible, an how to do, disable this annoying an unintended
"feature"?
Many thanks

How to get my app visible in gnome-software
by Jeandet Alexis
Hi,
I wonder if a copr rpm can be visible on gnome-software, then if yes can
somebody point me to some documentation for fixing my spec file?
This is a graphical app and I'm a very beginner in rpm building, I may
have missed something obvious.
Best regards,

Printer Driver for sending a job to Kinkos
by JD
Kinkos has a printer driver for windows which
allows one to select to print to a Kinkos nearby
location.
I was wondering if there is a Linux/Unix "kinkos" driver
to add to Cups so that when one is on the road, one can
print to nearest Kinkos location.
I know I can email the file, or even the web link
to the kinkos email address. But that requires that
I know the email address of the kinkos location.
Thanks for any tips/clues.

=====================
Hi Paul,
thank you for your answer,
I made successfully all that you said (I already made the same procedure).
But I still had the same answer "Failed to add new printer" when I made the "selection of the Printer Driver..
Perhaps I don't select the right driver?
I read the name of this driver on the CD that I got when I bought the printer (the disk is for install the printer on Windows).
What I can try now ?
thank you
regards

Installation of a printer HP2510, as client, in a Windows network
by angelo.moreschini＠medident-sw.it
Hi,
I failed to install a printer (HP
deskjet 2510) on my computer that run Fedora 20.
I tried to do it in this way:
1. Before I got the driver (following
the instruction on the site HPLIP).
I was able to complete
this task, and now in the my computer exists a directory:
/home/my_name/Desktop/hplip-3.14.6
(I think in this
directory is istalled the driver).
2. After I tried to “ADD
the PRINTER”:
I did this opening the
“printers dialog”, where I pushed the button “unlock” and
after the button “Add New Printer”.
A window appeared, and in
this windows I found the printer that I would like to install
(previously
I used the command <# iptables -F> to reach this result - as I
red on this forum).
The printer that I wound
install (as printer in the net) was indicated as HP-2515 on the
computer //Nelly
N.B. I got the driver for the
printer HP DESKJET 2510 ALL-IN-ONE (not 2515).
Selecting this printer I
pushed the button Add.
A dialog appeared where i
could selected, before Helwet-Packard, and after: “Deskjet 2510
Series, hpcups 3.14.6”.
At
confirmation of this selection I got the message “Failed to add new
printer.”.
I tried still to download
another driver from the site HPLIP, but I was not able to do it this
second time.
//
-----------------------------------------
This is message error that I
get at page http://localhost:631/admin/log/page_log
of firefox:

Last round of xorg updates broke mouse acceleration for my ALPS touchpad
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
The last round of F20 updates broke mouse acceleration for the ALPS
touchpad integrated into my dell latitude E6320.
Moving the mouse pointer with the touchpad is super-slow, and changing
the acceleration slider in xfce's mouse settings doesn''t change a
thing.
External USB mice work fine.
How should I proceed with a bug report? I know there is some kind of
voting system to flag new packages as problematic, but I don't even
know which package causes the issue or how I could switch to an
earlier revision (does yum allow to "rollback" an update?).
Thank you in advance, Clemens

LDAP login from console
by Jerry Feldman
I have a system that uses LDAP. Originally I set this up as a
stand-alone until all my company's security issues were mitigated. The
problem is that on the GDM login, it does not display the name. I have
this set up on our RHEL servers but not my laptop, so I log in as a
local user and ssh to the servers. I can SU (or SUDO) to the LDAP user.
I do have a local user set up with the same userid and group, but a
separate home directory. I probably missed something somewhere.

slightly OT: incremental backup suggestions
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have decided to also create an incremental backup on my own and was
wondering what you would recommend. I did some DDG'ing around and came
up with rdiff-backup. Would you recommend this? (There are
some more, but this one appears to have an rpm in the fedora
repositories.) Personally, I am a great fan of rsync but I also wanted a
setup that would be fast because I would like to run it every hour
(say).
OK, I know this is OT, but it is slightly so because the system used to
backup are updated F20 systems:-)
Any suggestions/personal experiences/suggested tweaks/references would
be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
