GNOME software in 3.10 and 3.12 uses the AppStream metadata that is
generated from the fedora repos. You need to get your application into
Fedora before it will be visible in the software center. GNOME
Software has no way of searching all the random repos on the Internet,
and can only load the metadata that has been prepared ahead of time.

If you're using GNOME 3.14, gnome-software will consider your local
AppData file and show the correct data, but obviously this will not
work until the application is installed manually.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your answer, it was quite weird to me, looking the data
provided by copr repo, that it would work. In my understanding the only
way for gnome-software to get appdata information would be to get the
rpm which wouldn't be optimized. 
So from your answer it's clear, is there any plan for copr to generate
this data in the futur? If I setup my own repository, would I be able to
generate this data? My software is quite far from being releasable on
fedora repos that's why I'm asking.

Best regards,

Perhaps this update created earlier today will fix the problem:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-7810/xorg-x11-server-1.14.4-11.fc20



Friday I updated my Eee900 and got a slew of updates as it had been a
time since the last update on that system.  So when the touchpad became
so slow, I decided to do other things for the rest of the day.  So
tonight, I had to use the system again and no new updates to download
and reboot did not help.

So add the Asus Eee900 (i686) to the list of systems messed up by this,
and I will wait for the update to be pushed out.


It looks like it's been pushed out to stable now. [I'm not an xorg 
packager but] thanks to everyone who tested the update and added karma.


Cheers,
Andy

I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No longer

Acrobat is now reserved for the PDF /editor/.

This thread is over a month old.  I found it when thrashing around to
solve my own problem: failure of duplex printing with Fedora 20 on a
Brother HL-5150D (connected via USB).

Please look at this bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035090

There is a work-around that works for me (see comment 9):
sudo lpadmin -p PrinterName -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs

The real problem is a bug ip pdftops.  See:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72312

Please sign up for bz 1035090 and whine :-)
That may increase the priority for backporting the already-fixed
pdftops.

f20 bridges not starting on boot

2014-06-29 Thread Mike Wright

Hi all,

f20 fully updated.  Not using NetworkManager.

There are an assortment of interfaces and bridges defined in my 
network-scripts/ifcfg files.  The interfaces come up but the bridges 
don't.  I have to manually restart networking to bring the bridges up 
and bind the interfaces to them.


This had been working up through f18 (didn't try f19).

Any ideas on how to get them to be created on boot or why they don't?

Is this a candidate for a bug report?

Thanks for any help,
Mike Wright

It's been forever since I used Fedora, but IIRC, wasnt there a package 
called gsynaptics, that was some sort of front end for the touchpad 
driver, that you could tweak the settings with?

Thanks Tom,

NM_CONTROLLED is no, ONBOOT is yes, bridge-utils is there (bridges come 
up after manual restart).


I use a lot of taps so thought maybe they weren't coming up in time but

yum -y localinstall AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm

Yum does install  AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm but when I run the 
command acroread the Adobereader won't start and nothing shows in 
/var/log/messages.


I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No longer 
acroread but AdobeReader. Note: that's case-sensitive.


Acrobat is now reserved for the PDF /editor/.

And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old.

Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader v. 
Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome?

Hi,
If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the 
command provided is acroread. On my system the rpm installed its files 
into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable and that you 
have read/write access to all files/folders within that path. I had an 
issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it produced a dialog 
complaining of a file read error and wouldn't run, I also received the 
same error when I clicked on widgets to add them to my development 
project in Windowbuilder within Eclipse. This error turned out to be a 
corrupt profile in ~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that 
directory, and acrobat recreated it resolved my problems.


regards,
Steve

Gnome3's password entry prompt blocks access to anything else

2014-06-29 Thread Dario Lesca
When gnome3 application (es evolution) ask password of some account
that not want to save it to keyring (Seahorse), the access to other
application (es. gnome-terminal or keepass, my keyring) or other desktop
is disable.

I have found only this tread on this problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688434

But the solution proposed at comment #33, works only partially: it is
not possible to type some text on other application, only mouse work.

It's possible, an how to do, disable this annoying an unintended
feature?

Many thanks

OK  But after it shutdown, is there once again an acroread running?

What you probably need in a case like this is killall:

killall -9 acroread

will get all processes with that name at the same time.

No...

That is the grep finding the grep.

It would look something like this...

Yum does install  AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm but when I
run the command acroread the Adobereader won't start and nothing
shows in /var/log/messages.


I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No
longer acroread but AdobeReader. Note: that's case-sensitive.

Acrobat is now reserved for the PDF /editor/.

And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old.

Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader
v. Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome?

Hi,
If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the
command provided is acroread. On my system the rpm installed its
files into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable
and that you have read/write access to all files/folders within
that path. I had an issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it
produced a dialog complaining of a file read error and wouldn't
run, I also received the same error when I clicked on widgets to
add them to my development project in Windowbuilder within
Eclipse. This error turned out to be a corrupt profile in
~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that directory, and acrobat
recreated it resolved my problems.

regards,
Steve


​Forget all about adobe pdf readers

Run

yum -y install evince

and be done with it.

On my machine:

​
yum list evince
Installed Packages
evince.x86_64 3.10.3-1.fc20 @fedora




My problem is that when I get on to the Boy Scouts of America BSA all
their forms are in pdf and they require AdobeReader .




  I went to the Boy Scouts of America website using Chrome...and all
their PDF's loaded and displayed properly in Chromes built-in PDF reader.




What and where is the Chrome built-in PDF reader, is it a extension or
what.



  No, it's not an extension. AFAIK it's built-in to Chrome.



When I use Chrome go onto the BSA website it tells me I must have
AdobeReader-9 0r greater.



  That's strange. When I went there with Chrome I didn't get any warning.



Can you edit the PDF's on their website ?   To fill in spaces.


  Good question...which I can't answer. But in my experience
many sites with PDF files you can fill in require...can I say it? 
Windows apps. :)

I guess AdobeReader is being shutdown just as it starts, you can see a quick 
flash of the RED adobe start window and that is it.

and finally  Ensure the readhat-lsb packages were installed and that both
