Alternatives to Theme Font size changer Firefox plugin?
by Sam Varshavchik
The popular theme font size changer Firefox plugin,
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/, no
longer supports Linux.
The default Firefox font size is too small for people with poor eyesight. As
far as I can tell, the only thing that official "Firefox themes" do is set a
background image for the UI. As Benny Hill would say, biiiiiiiiiiiiig …deal.
The top-ranked comment on that extension page suggests hacking "userChrome-
example.css" in ~/.mozilla/firefox.
$ find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name userChrome-example.css -print
$
There goes that idea.
Googling around the only other suggestion I found was to hack
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting in about:config. All that did, apparently,
was making the Firefox UI elements themselves bigger, but their font size –
the menu and the URL bar – remained exactly the same.
Anyone has other suggestions?

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

F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison
Good afternoon,
Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by
Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" =
"users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem
both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely
messages from this list are not junk!
thanks,
Bill.

Chrome blocks hibernation

This is weird. A few days ago I found that my desktop system (F23 fully
updated) would no longer hibernate. A glance at "journal -xe" showed a
bunch of lines like:

and when I killed Chrome then hibernation worked again.
So one question is: what is the magic incantation to stop these alarms
from Chrome?
However another question is how is this even possible? A process with
normal user privileges can prevent the system from hibernating? Is this
right?

enp0s8 not configured notification popups every few minutes (annoying)
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hi;
enp0s8 not configured notification popups every few minutes (annoying)
I just installed Fedora Live 64-bit KDE as a VirtualBox Guest OS.
I want to have two VirtualBox ethernet interfaces:
One for the vm to "see" outwards (NAT Network) and
Two for me to ssh into it (Host-only) so that I'm not forced to use
the console.
Every few minutes (it seems like every few seconds), I get a
notification popup that states that enp0s8 is not configured and then
a notification popup that it is being disabled.
How do I configure my outgoing ethernet interface?
I used to edit a file called something like /etc/network*/interface
and then I could change the default DHCP setting to be static and the
default disabled (off) setting to be enabled (on).
How does one do that kind of stuff now?
Is that a systemd thing?
Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

NetworkManager drops config on link down
by Chris Adams
I have a USB ethernet adapter on my desktop system that I use when
configuring new equipment (servers, routers, switches, etc.). I have a
variety of pre-set configs in NM, like 192.168.0.x, 10.0.0.x, etc.
Often while configuring something, I need to reboot it, which drops the
link. NM "helpfully" de-configures the interface, and I have to wait
for link to return and re-select the right config (because NM won't let
me select a config for an interface that is link-down).
Is there a way to disable this "helpfulness", so that for this USB
ethernet interface, once I select a config, it stays configured (even if
the link drops)? This is frustrating behavior in many cases.

httpd fails to start
by David A. De Graaf
On a newly installed F24 I have a /home/... directory with a
collection of movie files - *.m4v and such, that I want to googlecast
to a TV for viewing. I've configured a private httpd setup to display
this directory listing when the local machine name is entered in the
address line of google-chrome, and when a file is clicked, it plays
and can be "cast" to the TV. Neat!
However, when the machine boots (quiet, without rhgb) the messages
include
[FAILED] Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.
See 'systemctl status httpd.service' for details.
and, sure enough, httpd isn't running.
journalctl -b shows this:
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: (99)Cannot assign requested
address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address
192.168.10.99:80
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: no listening sockets
available, shutting down
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: AH00015: Unable to open logs
...
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Main process
exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP
Server.
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Unit entered
failed state.
Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Failed with
result 'exit-code'.
It can be started manually later, readily enough, with
systemctl start httpd
but that's a PITA.
So, why could httpd not
"make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.10.99:80"
Could it just be that the network isn't up yet?
Why isn't httpd more patient and persistent?
This seems like yet another systemd problem.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

Intel Core i5-6200U laptop issue
by Richard Shaw
I recently upgraded my wife's laptop to an Acer with a fairly stock
i5-6200U system using the UFEI boot (that was an adventure)
About a month ago I started getting strange issues. Not lockups per se but
it seems that the drive is somehow going into read only. Since that's the
case after it starts nothing is getting written to disk (includes journal
entries).
Also the virtual terminals are useless:
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L6zfYtxT5y8/V283nqZgbEI/AAAAAAAABys/jh...
Interestingly enough, a program already open will kind of work but any
attempt to launch a new program from gnome shell fails.
Because of the lack of log entries this has been extremely difficult to
troubleshoot.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard
