remove/delete files with dots "." in the name..
by bruce
Hi.
Test file with a name of:
67.205.168.80_PID.dat
find . -name '*.dat' -exec ls {} \;
displays the file
but
find . -name '*.dat' -exec rm -f {} \;
doesn't delete it.
thoughts?
thanks

Probably a dumb question but if you see a package release pushed to
stable.. does that mean it’s available in the Fedora repos?

sed question!
by bruce
Hey guys.
Thanks for the delete replies..
Got a quick sed question now..
test file::
head -2 sed.dat
228d98f0_f16a_11e6_9544_1ad613f05f7b,1486934882
22b93712_f16a_11e6_a6ad_1ad613f05f7b,1486934883
want to simply truncate/search/replace the end of each line starting
with the ","
to get
228d98f0_f16a_11e6_9544_1ad613f05f7b
22b93712_f16a_11e6_a6ad_1ad613f05f7b
the following isn't working
sed -i 's/\,+\$//' sed.dat
sed -i 's/\,+$//' sed.dat
I'm sure it's simple/trivial...
thoughts...

cups and sys v scripts
by John Whitley
Cups appears to not support sys v scripts any more. cuips version 2+ lpadmin treats '-i' as a ppd file.
I copied a configuration (/etc/cups) from a system that successfully uses sys v scripts (cups-1.7.2-1.fc20) to cups 1-7.5 and the script is ignored.
Normally ppd files are OK but I'm driving a dot matrix printer that needs form feeds adding etc.
Can anyone cast light on this?

Re: Fedora 24 Update: nitrokey-app-0.6.3-1.fc24
by Tim
Allegedly, on or about 07 February 2017, updates(a)fedoraproject.org sent:
> Name : nitrokey-app
> Product : Fedora 24
> Version : 0.6.3
> Release : 1.fc24
> URL : https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-app
> Summary : Nitrokey's Application
> Description :
> Nitrokey's Application.
I just picked the above at random, as an example of crapness. There's
no end of notifications about updates that give no actual information.
You don't know what the update is about, you don't know what the
original package is for. Likewise, when doing YUM searches, there are
packages with crap descriptions.
I wish that sort of useless description would result in packages getting
an automatic banning. That and URIs that don't work, or lead to
similarly un-useful websites. I've seen plenty of packages with links
that lead to some GITHUB kind of thing with zero information about what
the package actual does or is used for, and no links anywhere on the
page that lead to something else that might explain what it is.
Maybe then, the big stick approach, might force some sanity.

radiotray, gstreamer plugin
by Jon LaBadie
Using "radiotray" in a mate environment on Fedora 24.
For many stations I get the following warning message:
Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
gstdecodebin2.c(3576): gst_decode_bin_expose (): \
/GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin7/ \
GstDecodeBin2:decodebin26: \
no suitable plugins found
So far as I can tell, all the available plugins for
gstreamer and gstreamer1 (12 each) are installed.
How can I determine what is missing?

What do Network Manager / Network Messages Mean That are Shown at
Boot Time
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
What do the messages listed below, particularly the last two, which
are listed in boot.log, mean relative to ethernet and wifi network
devices (I am assuming a wireless mouse has no impact on this situation)
that are configured in Network Manager to not be connected to at boot
time and definitions that are?
Starting Network Manager...
[ OK ] Started Network Manager.
Starting Network Manager Wait Online...
Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service...
[ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.
[ OK ] Started Network Manager Wait Online.
Starting LSB: Bring up/down networking...
[ OK ] Started LSB: Bring up/down networking.
[ OK ] Reached target Network.
[ OK ] Reached target Network is Online.
I am particularly interested in whether the last two are produced
because the checking process successfully found usable devices that
could be used for the network, as opposed to devices that Network
Manager has been told to connect to at boot, and if it is the latter
option how can the network be online when dkms has not finished
compiling and installing into the kernel the driver for the only device
that Network Manager has been told to connect to boot. I am assuming
that the pci wireless device that functions with an inbuilt kernel
module (ATH9K) is not being network activated when there isn't a
definition for that device in Network Manager.

Steve

Extreme UI lag when copying files on Nautilus( fedora 25)
by Bill Kontos
I am encountering a bug that causes extreme UI and mouse lag when copying files using Nautilus on a fedora 25 installation. The system is up to date as of 9/2/2017. This is encountered both when I'm copying from a directory on the internal hard drive to another directory or from a directory from the internal hard drive to a removable media. Mouse, switching windows pressing super, everything lags. The lag stops when the copy operation is completed or if I cancel it.
Is this a known bug with a workaround or should I report it ? If I should report it can you point me where and how ?

Apologies - somehow my original email was severely truncated in
transit. But that's irrelevant and I have found a way to solve the problem.
It isn't obvious, but it is possible to do it and if there is any
interest I can send the procedure. (Basically it's a mixture of shell
scripts* and GUI actions.)
________
* if you don't like shell scripts the commands aren't that difficult to
cut and paste - I just did it that way so that I wouldn't have to type
it twice...
Thanks to anyone who sent a response off-list whom I haven't already
thanked.
