help - Fedup F20 to F21 through firewall
by Robin Laing
Fedup won't use the proxy server where I work.
I can download packages and do yum updates by command line or yumex on
the machine for updates.
sudo yum update
works as expected.
I cannot run fedup. I get error messages for every server tried as 403'd.
This is from the log file.
[ 4.623] (II) fedup.yum:log_grab_failure()
http://fedora.mirror.gtcomm.net/releases/21/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata...:
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
I can access the archives via web browser and download files from the
sites so they are not blocked when using Firefox.
So from this, I am assuming that fedup isn't using the proxy settings in
the yum configuration files or I have something configured wrong that I
am missing.
I really don't want to have to upgrade manually again.

chroot question
by JD
As root, I ran
chroot --userspec=user2:user2 /home/user2
chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Permission denied
The dir /home/user2 has in it
all the *bin and *lib (links) and usr/*bin and usr/*lib files and subdirs.
So, what is chroot good for???

kmail repeatable hard crash
by Benjamin Smith
I have kmail set up on F21/64/KDE spin laptop, a Dell Precision M3800, 8 GB
RAM, 250 GB SSD.
When I do a search for email using the "Search" function at the top, it hard
crashes anytime I enter in "seq=2". Further testing seems to show that the
following perl regex describes the input in the search box that causes
instant, hard crash of kmail:
/[a-z0-9]+\=[0-9]+/
Any idea where to go from here?

deleting email attachments in Evolution
by Tim
Has anyone tried the "remove attachments" feature in Evolution? I find
that it simply deletes the whole message (a totally unacceptable
behaviour).
From time to time, you want to keep an message where someone has mailed
you a file, but don't want the file wasting hard drive space. It'd be
nice to be able to simply remove the attachment without a palaver.

tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp
Linux 3.19.3-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Fri Mar 27 17:30:08 UTC 2015 i686
All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

Controlling use of /tmp vs /var/tmp
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Recently, I tried asking a question in regard to the use of /tmp vs
/var/tmp in F21?
Is there a way of controlling where temporary files used by certain
programs are stashed?
With /tmp the files are erased w/ each reboot; w/ /var/tmp they sit there
until the files get wiped by something like tmpwatch.
As an example, I open enough pdf files using Firefox; in turn, I export
them to Acrobat. There, they are stored in /tmp, until I save them to some
other location. If I forget, or there is a system crash, the files are
lost.
In older versions of Fedora (my prior one was F18), temporary files in
Acrobat were assigned to /var/tmp.
Is there a way or place to specify this?
Thanks.

Firefox won't allow connection when site certificate is invalid
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I need to use Firefox to connect to a specific site which has an
unrecognized SSL certificate (the specific error is "Peer's Certificate
issuer is not recognised"). I get the usual dialogue asking if I accept
the risks, but clicking on the Add Exception button does nothing. This
is FF 37.0.1 on F21.
This specific site only works with FF and IE. It used to work with
previous versions of FF, but I last used it weeks ago so I can't be sure
which exact version introduced the breakage. I've already tried running
in safe mode, to no avail.
Has anyone else seen this?
