Taskbar Panel in Plasma Won't Autohide
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I am trying to get the Taskbar Panel to autohide, but when I click on
the options button in the panel, the left, right and center options are
permanently highlighted but seem to function in terms of moving the
indicator that reflects which option is active. Also the 'Always
Visible', 'Auto Hide', 'Windows can Cover' and 'Windows go Below'
options are also permanently highlighted but selecting the 2nd or 3rd
option does nothing. It appears these options are highlighted because
the colour scheme I am using, which is forget-me-not thinks they are
push buttons.
Does anyone know why these don't work anymore in Fedora 23? I am using
Breeze for the Windows Style and Windows Decorations themes.
regards,
Steve

Problem getting large files from a GoPro
by Mark
Hi
I recently got a GoPro video camera and ran into some problems with
getting the files from it to my Fedora 24 desktop. When connected via
USB it automagically mounts and I can see the video files in Files. I
can transfer small files (around 100MB) from it, but not large files
(1GB). Don't know exactly where the limit lies. But in VLC I can play
also the large files on the GoPro device even though I couldn't copy
them.
So I thought I would try to copy them from a terminal window. But I
couldn't determine the mount point! I look in journalctl and df without
getting any wiser.
So my questions are:
How can I determine the mount point for a USB device?
What's the best way to copy large files over USB?

Themes Under Gnome
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I can't see anywhere within Gnome Settings or Gnome Tweak Tool an
option that allows me to set the global system theme nor the global
colour scheme, plus the ability to view what each of these will look
like and to be able to fine tune them if necessary. Is this
functionality just not available under Gnome like it is under KDE?
regards,
Steve

Can't check Bluetooth mouse battery level
by Patrick O'Callaghan
(Originally posted to the KDE list but now I don't think it's a KDE
issue).
Using the Status and Notifications widget used to show the battery
level in my Bluetooth mouse. Now it just says there are no batteries.
It's a desktop, so there are indeed no batteries in the system, but
there are in the mouse.
One responder suggested trying "upower -d". This shows no battery
either.
Any ideas? This used to work for me.

Does dmesg give you any output when you plug the device in? That's usually my go to for finding a USB. You can then mount it wherever you would like (ex: /mnt/myusb) using the mount command from a terminal. Just create a directory somewhere.

Boot normally, but give me a root shell
by Richard W.M. Jones
Is there a way to get Fedora to boot into a root shell, without
requiring a password?
NOTE: I'm not interested in "emergency" shells and this is not for
recovering a system.
I want the (specialized, non-networked) system to boot as normal, all
the way to multi-user.target, and then drop me to a root shell.
Rich.

boot messages
by François Patte
Bonjour,
At the early beginning of the boot sequence, I have these kinds of messages:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0 outp 04.0006:0344 no bios dp data
What do they mean? Is there something to change in the bios
configuration to satisfy f24?
Thank you.

Developing Android apps under Fedora/KDE
by Timothy Murphy
I have an old smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S2), unlocked,
and I'm thinking of trying to write simple apps for it
on my Fedora-24 laptop.
I'm fairly familiar with Java (and Eclipse)
(Long ago I wrote a program modifying TeX web2c to output Java).
I haven't found a reasonably authoritative article on this,
and would welcome advice and/or suggestions
from anyone who has gone down this route.
I ran "dnf search android" and found quite a few
appropriate sounding programs,
but found it hard to tell how they would fit together.
I'd like to do it in as simple and standard a way as possible,
eg not writing in C++ and using a program to translate that to Java.
I've looked at a number of sites claiming to teach this topic,
but none of the ones I have seen had concrete instructions
of how to transfer Hallo World, say, to the phone and run it there.
And all seemed to have their own special programs,
eg I was just looking at one which said
"Android Studio is the official IDE for Android development"
but none of the others mentioned this program (or suite).
As I said, I would be very grateful for any knowledgeable adivice
on this topic.
