OT: help with search
by JD
I googled for a way to list all items found on a single page.
What I am searching for is very very specific (in double quotes)
and only on a specific web site:
FOr example:
my_Favorite_Site.com: "my specific phrase" -some_word
It comes up with a total of 12K hits on that web site.
I need a way list the URL's of all the hits, or find a
way to easily capture the URL's of all hits without the
rigmarole of Rightclick on each link and copy url.
Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?

A couple points here:
- I, or we, can offer guidance on using cloud products, CDNs, etc here to
accomplish a specific goal. Advise on this list is free, and it is the
declared purpose of the list. If you're setting up a webserver, or backup
target, or whatever, say so.
- If you aren't a sysadmin, and will need regular and specific support for
your cloud infrastructure, you should look into Rackspace's support levels.
There is a service tier that gets you OS level admin support. (full
disclosure: I'm one of the folks providing that support).

Weird transparency in display
by Beartooth
Running F22 in either rescue or normal mode, I have a problem
that I don't see how to attack. When I click on anything that is supposed
to bring up a menu, it seems to -- but so faintly that I can't read any
of it. How do I remedy this??

python question
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I have a problem with a python program (oqapy) which does not run on
fedora 21.
Here is the error message:
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 to v11.1 but the
oqapy_iproc module requires API v9.2
as far as I understand the API version is to recent and the program
need an older version.
Is there any way to have some "backward compatibility" modules in
python under this version of fedora?
Thank you

fedup to F22 issues
by Stephen Davies
I have just run
fedup --network 22
and have several issues as a result.
1. PostgreSQL databases were not upgraded from 9.3 to 9.4 and subsequent
attempts to do this manually fail due to locale differences (AU vs US).
(I have requested help on the PostgreSQL list).
2. Amavisd-new no longer works due to issues with PERL.
This seems to be a result of updating PERL from 5.18 to 5.20 breaking a bunch
of modules.
I thought that I had resolved these by following the hints in cpan error
messages but cannot install Net::LibIDN because idna.h is missing.
I am forced to run without spam or virus checking as a result.
3. All of my local sendmail aliases disappeared causing many inbound emails to
be rejected.
I manually rebuilt /etc/mail/aliases to fix this.
4. After rebooting to F22, I had only one workspace.
I reconfigured to four via settings but now I get apparently random blank
screen with just the mouse cursor visible. Not even a task bar.
The only way that I have found to get my work spaces back is to logout and
login again.
5. Some fonts (particularly within Wine apps??) have changed and are much less
readable than before.
MyHeritage Family Tree Builder is one example. I have no idea which fonts were
used in F21 nor in F22.
I'd be grateful for any help in resolving these.
Cheers,
Stephen

Packaging a Python application with a virtual environment
by Joseph L. Casale
I have been reading about to see what is the best way for me to distribute a
package based on a Python app with a virtual environment. Probably the most
insightful look into what needs to be done is [1]. I am wondering what the
opinion is here on this? I can't script anything that requires external access to
the net, however I could package the modules from Pypi for use with pip but
that doesn't seem like a good alternative.
Anyone else ever have this need, or have any insight into a best approach?
Thanks,
jlc

Print from Flash -
by Bob Goodwin
I print several crossword problems every day. Since perhaps Fedora 20 I
have had to use SeaMonkey to print them, actually SeaMonkey v. 2.33.1 in
Fedora 21. That means that I have had to keep an old F21 around on one
computer that usually gets switched on for just that one task each day.
In this computer with F-21 or F-22 and Firefox the images are displayed
and the print menu comes up and it invites me to click on print, however
it doesn't show any printer in the menu, just a blank item and of course
does not print. I don't know how to begin troubleshooting that but I
would like to find a solution and get rid of the F-21 installation.
Perhaps I need to try the Google browser again although I would prefer
not to?
Does anyone know how to deal with this?

F22 XFCE system-config-date not changing date/time system bar
by Robert Moskowitz
In the past, this worked for me. When I moved from the ET to elsewhere
in the US or EU.
But this past weekend in HongKong, it did not work. Nor is it working
now in Japan. The system time is right:
$ date
Mon Nov 2 01:20:46 JST 2015
But the system bar is showing 11:20am
How do I fix this. Other than trying a reboot...
