swell foop "new game" menu item?
by Tom Horsley
Just curious: Has the "swell foop" game fallen victim to
some fedora 22 gtk3 nonsense that doesn't display the menu anywhere
unless you are using the gome 3 desktop? Or is there really
simply no menu item any longer to start a new game?

Rsnapshot update
by Patrick O'Callaghan
The Rsnapshot author recently released version 1.4.1, yet Fedora only
has 1.3.1, originally released in 2008. Is this being maintained?

Fedora 22 on Raspberry Pi 2
by rowan
Have version 22 loaded on 64GB secureSD chip, Pi 2 boots to multi-user
(level 3) text login prompt, displays on screen that Ethernet is active
(see it obtained IP address via DHCP from router). I enter root as user
and have tried fidora, 1234, 123456, password and nothings as password
but can't get in. I was never prompted to set root password as this is
Raspberry, not standard install.

make sudo stop sending mail?
by Tom Horsley
In fedora 22, sudo apparently defaults to sending mail out
about unsuccessful sudo attempts. I have a bunch of automated
tests that run on my system, one of them attempts to use sudo
to verify that it fails :-). As a result I keep getting all
sorts of mail about these failures.
I see lots of mail settings in the sudo config info, but
none of them that are described clearly enough that I can
say "Yea, that's how I turn of this annoying mail."
Is there a simple way to make the mail stop? Perhaps my
best bet it is tell it to use /bin/true as a mailer?

HP CP3525dn Printer Doesn't Work with Fedora 22
by thraex
Hi,
I upgraded to Fedora 22 (MATE desktop) on an HP Pavillion p6-2310ef and
it's connected to an HP Color Laserjet CP3525dn printer via USB. The
problem is that although in previous versions of Fedora everything was
working fine, since Fedora 20 or 21 the printer silently ignores all
print requests.
I can dual boot to Windows 8 and then everything works fine, so it's
probably a software issue in Fedora. Here's the output of dnf info hplip
Installed Packages
Name : hplip

What should I do to get the printer working again?

Fedup half-complete
by Timothy Murphy
I followed the instructions at
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum>
to upgrade my second-best laptop from Fedora-21 to 22.
The upgrade failed halfway through with memory warnings of some type.
I ran fedora-upgrade again, and this time it installed all the packages,
but hung halfway through cleanup.
Rather surprisingly, the system booted into a version
that seems to be a mixture of Fedora-21 and Fedora-22.
/etc/fedora-release says it is 22, but the kernel is 21.

Any suggestions?
Should I just forget this, and install Fedora-22 in the usual way?

Losing connection on a repeated wireless network
by Antonio M
I am using a Picostation to repeat the resort's wireless network, from A
SSID to B SSID. I am using DD-Wrt software, but sometimes on Fedora (but
also on Ubuntu on another machine) I lose the connection (a question mark
replaces the wireless icon) and I have to switch off and the switch on the
wireless card by software in order to connect again. I am not sure if it is
Linux' fault, heavy wireless traffic or something else. Any comment???
Never lost any connection on Androd devices for example

upgrading from f21 to f22

I have a laptop which was running F19. I have upgraded it to F20 using
fedup and then upgraded from f20 to f21 using fedup. This all worked
quite well. I'm now trying to upgrade to f22 using fedup. When I run
fedup --network f22
I get a bunch of messages (expected) and then I get the following:

Firefox, HTML5 and high res. videos
by Heinz Diehl
Hi,
F22, latest Firefox 40. With standard configuration, I can't play any
highres video on Youtube (720 or 1080p). When setting
media.mediasource.enabled
media.mediasource.webm.enabled
to "true" as recommended by the Mozilla Community, highres videos play
just fine. BUT some other videos now do not play any longer. In
particular, when setting
media.mediasource.webm.enabled
to "false", those non-working videos work again. But then, no highres
is possible. Example:

i have not had such happen when i used imap, but i know of others who
had similar problems. i do not recall what causes problem, tho i will
presume it is from you creating folders and imap making them on your
system. nft, but i do believe you would not have problem if you use
pop3.

. if you want such a folder as an account, you have to specify such when
you create account.

because you are pulling from gmail account, i would suggest that you do
_no_ filtering on gmail.com and do not try to create any gmail site
structure in thunderbird.
tho you may not wish to, i would suggest that for your gmail account,
you create filters to move incoming gmail to folders that you create
under "Local Folders". creating any folders and subfolders in gmail
account folder has potential to cause problems.
in fact, i suggest that you make all 'filtered to' folders under
Local Folders. makes things easier if you drop an account for another
account and pull same email sources in second account.
any folder structuring that you do under "Local Folders" will not be
seen by any pop3 or imap folders in gmail account folder or any other
account folder, except for what you redirect with filers.
also, to ensure you do not create an potential problems, do not store
emails in "top" folders. ie, create a "top" folder for branching and
classing, then create folders below it to hold emails of various
sub-classing.
another point on causing problems, do not have thunderbird run any
automatic compacting of folders or deleting of Trash while thunderbird
is in online state. put thunder in offline state, click "dual terminal"
icon in lower left of thunderbird window, then run compacting manually.
manual compacting can be done from Menu bar or pressing <alt+f>,<f>.
manual deleting of trash is <alt+f>,<t>.
also, if you have an email holding folder anywhere and you have filters
to direct emails to folder, drag and drop email folder anywhere within
account top folder or Local Folder top folder. do not drag and drop
between them.
after a folder is moved, thunderbird will update filters to reflect move.
same applies to renaming a folder.
