Playing Flash based DRM videos on Hotstar.com
by Sumit Bhardwaj
Hi Everyone,
I have a paid subscription of an online streaming service Hotstar.com in
India. The problem is, they are using some Flash based DRM technique with
their videos due to which they don't play on Fedora 24 Workstation. I only
get a movie not loaded message in context menu of flash player.
I searched about this issue and found few things to try like using
freshplayer to get PepperFlash or installing the HAL shim library. But none
of these methods seems to work with Fedora 24. Can anybody hep me out with
this? It is so frustrating to go back to Windows just to watch my favorite
streams.
Thanks in advance.

Installing programs in fedora - firefox
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
recently I re installed firefox (in order to have the new firefox 49).
Till now, to install programs, I always used yum or rpm, and never I used
the .tar file.
After I unpacked the .tar file, I was immediately able to run the new
version of firefox simply creating a new symbolic link point to the new
version to the file executable, *without changing anything in the files**
unpacked files inside the directory where I dowloaded **the file .tar**
(/home/my_dir/Downloads)*.
That is very simple as it is also very good …
But I am asking to myself if I really made all in the right way....
Of course, in order to use an application, it is enough to run the
executable file -
But, under usual conditions, they are many other files that support the
installation...
Generally they are not inside the directory where I unpacked the .tar
file,–
Generally they are put in some appropriate directories.... and I didn't
change anything never I modified or move files after I unpacked files in
the original directory .
The organization of the programs, inside the directories of the computer,
is managed by the programs that manage the installation... and in my case I
didn't make anything..
So I would ask what is the correct way to arrange files after to unpack the
.tar file for a program like firefox.
Thank you
regards
Angelo

Can anyone tell me if this means drive is dying?
Or could it be an issue with the slowness of the USB port?

I recommend using the net install / minimal image. I actually use it every time, even if I want the GUI. If you don't want to download all of the packages e dry time, the server install is the one you want.

install linux with no Desktop (GUI)
by Adel ESSAFI
Hello,
I need to install fedora with only text mode available. I don t need
graphical desktop installed.
Is there a way or an image that allows this?

resolution restricted after dnf update
by Gary Stainburn
I have a dual headed F23 system using a NVidia graphics card. Everything was
working fine until today when I installed the latest set of updates.
Both screens were set to 1280x1024 resolution.
However, since I rebooted after completing the update, my right hand side
screen is now limited to 1024/768.
If I look in System Settings -> Display Configuration it correctly recognises
my left screen as a CY765. However, the model of my right screen is no longer
recognised, and just shows it as VGA-1 which is it's port.
I'm certain that it used to know the model of that screen too.
Can anyone suggest how I can get this resolved, or at least where to look to
find the problem?
Cheers

Annoying audit messages
by Alex
Hi all,
I recall seeing an rsyslog entry to prevent these messages from
filling my messages logs, but it no longer appears to work with f24.
Is there a more specific method to disable audit messages?
Sep 26 14:40:56 alex kernel: audit: type=2404
audit(1474915256.442:724): pid=3297 uid=0 auid=4294967295

direction=? spid=3297 suid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/sshd" hostname=?

I'm not using selinux, and have enabled rsyslog. They're just not helpful to me.
Thanks,

Is hibernation broken?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I'm using kernel-4.6.6-300.fc24.x86_64 with the proprietary NVidia
driver, plus daily updates from the stable repos. Hibernation used to
work with previous kernels, but now regularly fails to wake up
properly, i.e. on restarting I get the BIOS screen followed by the boot
text console and select the first (newest) option as usual. So far so
good. Then after a few seconds I see the BIOS again, repeat the
selection, and get a full reboot.
Anyone else seeing this?
