Chrome not Chromium on Fedora 24
I noticed that chromium was now in the fedora repo, so I installed it. It turns out that pepperflash is not included, but I found freshplayerplugin on rpmfusion. I was not able to get it working (the audio/video/ebooks from the public library services, such as overdrive, hoopla, Naxos Music Library, did not work). There was already a google-chrome-stable repo in yum.repos.d from before, so I updated chrome. This is where the problems/confusion began... 1. google-chome-stable is no longer located in /usr/bin 2. no links appear in the launcher (easy to create manually) 3. dead links to the executable in /usr/bin and /etc/alternatives 4. chrome is now installed to /opt 5. the google chome repo file has vanished from yum.repos.d 6. privacy badger does not recognize chrome in /opt and no amount of uninstalling, closing down chrome, restarting and freshly installing the badger would get it to work So... Can I manually create the google-chrome-stable repo file and will it now update the version installed to /opt, or is this going to cause a big mess? Or, do I henceforth have to uninstall chrome and reinstall for every new upgrade? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Fedora 24: sound fails at random times
PS: I got rid of my 2 old computers (a desk- and a laptop) and now have just a laptop. I am not certain if I have experienced the problem since the hardware change, but I will report, if it should occur. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I have had a similar problem since a couple of months (since F24ß was released?). I don't use Chrome enough on a regular basis to be able to confirm, but Firefox is stricken. I'll decide to play some videos on YT using Firefox and there is no sound. I open other tabs and try. Typically, nothing. Rarely, this appears to fix the problem. Sometimes, I open VLC and play a video stored on my computer. This appears to be the most reliable solution for me. Perhaps a logout/in. I've always managed to get it working without rebooting, but it takes a lot of fiddling. I have no idea what causes it and there are no clues that might suggest a culprit. There is this report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803042 I haven't tried the suggestion about modifying asoundrc. There is a similar report on archlinux (I find them to be a pretty reliable bunch of guys that have lots of information that has helped me out a lot with problems). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: PSA: Do not run 'dnf update' inside GNOME, KDE or any other graphical desktop on Fedora 24

I'm not against the software updater (apper?), but I like to see all of the messages (skipped packages, versions, repo that it comes from, dependencies, rpmnew/saved created, etc.), so that I can adjust the command, if necessary, before running it. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Sure, I suppose I learned a lot about the system, but I like that systemd just does it all for me and I don't need to waste my time on pointless tasks that a modern OS should be able to deal with on its own. My old computers were afflicted with pesky stop job problem, too. I'm not sure if it is on my new one? I didn't realize that it was only on reboots and not shutdowns: perhaps that's why I haven't seen it lately? Or could it be fixed :-O I dealt with it by making an espresso and then it was timed out. They go for 1'30". But, yes, it is frustrating when working on something and having to wait for the timeout. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
