How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
by JUSTIN TAYLOR
I have a 3rd party app that use a Java GUI, so it won't run on a headless JVM. I had it working until I installed a different app using dnf. It overwrote my JVM with a headless one and now the Java GUI app is broken. Is there a way to install/register a non-headless JVM with Fedora so it won't keep installing the headless JVM?
Thanks

Should the "xset m" commands do anything in F25?
by Iiro Laiho
Hi,
I have filed the bug #1408997 about "xset m" commands having no effect on mouse speed. The lack of effect of the command also seems to mean that the GUI sliders in LXDE have no effect at all, and to cause inconsistent behaviour in XFCE4's settings.
The problem can be reproduced on at least two machines: in a VirtualBox VM (yes, the tablet emulation was disabled) and a real one.
I fail to find any info about the current situation of the command and it's possible replacement. Is the "xset m" command obsolete, or is there just a some kind of bug?

Can a second F25 be installed on the same machine?
by Mayavimmer
I tried to do an identical second install on the same machine, but the
installer Anaconda gives an error about being unable to set a root
partition.
The only difference compared with the first successful install is that
there is a bit less disk free space, and of course another F25 already
installed. Previous install was about 20GB in 60GB free space. Current
failed attempt is also 20GB in remaining 35GB space.

OT: Flash on (Linux-Based) Samsung SmartTV
by Tim Evans
I'm trying to long-distance-coach a tech-challenged friend on using his
Samsung SmartTV's web browser to view content his Cable TV service
doesn't carry. (This is not trying to get around stuff without
paying--the content, out of area sports, FWIW, is freely available to
watch on his PC.)
When he tries to access the content with the Samsung-embedded browser,
he gets an immediate prompt to upgrade Flash. Following the offered
links allows access to what is labeled as "Linux" rpm and/or tgz
versions, neither of which will install on the TV. So, the content won't
load.
While I've suggest he do a general upgrade of the TV firmware, in hopes
there's a usable Flash upgrade included, I'm thinking of pointing him in
a different direction--say, a ChromeCast.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

NFS Mount Point and Security Changes, Why?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have a mount point definition in /etc/fstab for a NAS device
connected to my router via Ethernet that is specifying nfs interfacing.
When I first put this definition in place on F24 I was using the option
SEC=KRB5P which was working quite happily (I'm also not sure how long
ago it was that I put this definition in place). I found yesterday that
the mount point was no longer being mounted because of an invalid
option, when I removed all the options and added them back one at a
time, I found that the option that was being objected to was SEC=KRB5P.
I also found that SEC=KRB5 and SEC=KRB5I were also being rejected as
invalid even though looking at the MAN page for NFS says all three are
valid parameters. The only security option I could get to work was
SEC=SYS. The MAN page does hint at other configurations being required
to use Kerberos security, but if so, why is this required now?
How do I find out why the SEC specification I was using now no
longer works (I can't identify exactly when it stopped working) and why
the MAN pages are indicating that it is still valid?
regards,
Steve

OT: smplayer mailing list

Does anyone know of a mailing list for smplayer?
Google shows no such beast exists.
If not a mailing list, then perhaps a forum?

gsl
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I tried to put
gsl_integration_qags
in a loop with the option:
#pragma omp parallel for
but it fails.
Is it because gsl does not have been compiled with the option
-fopenmp
?
Thank.

F25, no desktop wallpaper
by Jon LaBadie
I just upgraded my old laptop (Dell Vostro 1500) from
F24 to F25 using the "dnf" plugins.
Video is now a problem. My selected desktop wallpaper
does not show, just a black background. Once drawn on
the desktop, items remain. For example menus still show
after making a selection although they are not active.
Moving windows leave lots of ghost trailing images.
If I switch workspaces then switch back the artifacts
are gone, but still no wallpaper. The wallpaper does
appear for an instant if I logout or reboot.
My normal environment is sddm display manager, mate
desktop environment, and compiz as the window manager.
For the latter I've tried both the emerald and the
gtk window decorators.
I've tried display managers gdm and lightdm, window
managers marco and mutter, and desktop environments
cinnamon and gnome. All exhibit the same behavior.
I also tried a root gui login to mate which exhibited
the same behavior.
The video hardware is nVidia GeForce 6800M, using Xorg,
not Wayland, and the nouveau video driver. No xorg.conf
file in use.
Suggestions welcomed.
Jon

Plus more code than the list will allow
but received a copy directly via fastmail.
This is a great help to me, for the
first time in years I have a calendar
display the I can read easily! Larger
font, better contrast with white text on
a black background, and the display just
looks better all around. And now I know
how to mess with the display. :-)
Thank you for your time and effort in
doing this.

A happy, healthy and prosperous new year
to you also ...
