slider size too small
by Paul Cartwright
I am running fedora 22 I686 on a laptop, an older Dell model.. I
remember having this issue before ( and way back I knew where to look to
fix this in Windows)..
in Thunderbird the scroll slider bar is very tiny, maybe only 3-4 pixels
wide. Hard to click in that area & hard to grab the slider to scroll
down. How do you make it larger?? I hate to mess with themes, they all
seem too wild for me.. is there a setting somewhere?? I am running Mate
desktop, if it matters.. the slider in Firefox is also small, so it
isn't just Thunderbird..

missing repo, no repomd, no metalink.xml
by Shane
Hi,
I'm using Fedora18 x86_64. (Yes, it's old.) Within the last few
days I found that I cannot install or list anything from the fedora-18
repo via yum. I get the typical errors everybody complains about "no
repomd" and "metalink.xml does not exist". Common workarounds from
google searches haven't worked.
I opened the link spit out by yum
"http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-18&arch=x86_64"
in a browser. It downloaded a metalink file (no .xml suffix). The 3rd
(or so) line of the file has the following dubious message.
# repo = fedora-18 arch = x86_64 error: invalid repo or arch
Following this line is a HUGE listing of available repos and
architectures. There is nothing shown for fedora-18 arch i386 or
x86_64. In fact, even fedora-source-18 repo is missing. I don't think
this is a yum problem on my system.
Is there something else I can try (yum-wise)? If I need to report it
then where? I'm quite certain that this is the wrong list.
Thanks.

Actually looking into the rpmbuild directory, I see that these files are created in /home/etc/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pyFltk-1.3.3.1-1.fc22.x86_64/usr/libusr/lib64, not in /home/etc/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pyFltk-1.3.3.1-1.fc22.x86_64/usr/lib.
How do I fix this? I am compiling using python3.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

NFS browsing from Nautilus
by Ranbir
Hi Everyone,
Nautilus doesn't have built in support for browsing NFS shares which I
find really stupid. Is there an add-on or extension or something that
will allow me to do that?
I need to browse NFS automounts, but I can't until I first do an "ls"
on the automount.
I'm using Fedora 22.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

keyboard oddity
by Jon LaBadie
For several years I have used a Logitech K800 keyboard on my
primary desktop, currently running Fedora 22. Recently it
has been acting up, sending a stream of fives (5's) as if
I was holding down the five key and it was autorepeating.
The 5's would appear sporadically, sometimes once a day,
other times every couple of minutes. They appeared in
xterm's, browsers, and other GUI apps and also when I
switched to one of the virtual consoles not running
X-windows. The 5's also appeared in virtual guest OS's.
Assuming my keyboard was bad I purchased another kbd,
Logitech K330. As expected, no 5's streamed from this
new kbd. However when I installed the suspect K800 kbd
on my other system (running CentOS 7.1), it acts normally,
no 5's. Swap it back to Fedora 22, I get 5's. It has
now been back to the CentOS system for 10 days and has
not acted up once. Only on Fedora 22.
Any clue as to what might cause such behavior on one
system but not another?

HCL badly needs updating
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Who is keeping the Hardware Compatibility List for Fedora?
Someone's been falling down on the job. That HCL hasn't seen an update
in five years.
In that interval, the hardware makers have introduced "two-in-ones,"
laptops with screens that respond to touch as swiftly as a tablet does.
And I can't even find, /anywhere,/ any insight as to whether Fedora will
even run on a two-in-one.
Even if I decide not to go for a two-in-one just now: I found a good
deal on a modern Acer Aspire E machine. I look up the HCL. The most
recent article on any Acer model goes back to Fedora 11. And here we are
at Fedora 22!
Why has the community neglected the HCL?
Or are we now supposed to be 100 percent confident Fedora will run on
absolutely any platform out there? Without having to use proprietary
drivers? (I refer here to the never-ending NVidia GeForce problem.)

PS generated file -> pdftotext -layout and images
by Gary Stainburn
Hi folks,
Thanks to help from here I've managed to get pseudo printers working with CUPS
to allow Windows PC's to print a document which then gets converted to PDF,
has stationery applied to it, and the result emailed back to the requesting
user.
I'm now on phase 2 of the project which uses
pseudo printer -> ps2pdf -> pdftotext -layout
to generate a text file which then is used to import data into my systems.
This method is because the system that generates the report doesn't have an
export facility.
My only problem with this is that the generating system uses images of a tick
and a cross to indicate some boolean values.
Can anyone suggest how I can convert these ticks and crosses back to their
boolean value?
