Seems to be the case. Looking into the latest 2.7.1 source shipped by
Fedora, subpixel rendering isn't enabled in foptions.h. Most probably,
Fedora follows the freetype principal developers opinion(s).
 
> Subpixel rendering has no effect if AA is turned off, right?

As far as I understand it, subpixel rendering is a form of
antialiasing on LCD screens that works because the combination of red,
green and blue appears as white light. A typical example is Micro$ofts
"Cleartype".

To me, v40 is far superior to v35. Fortunately, there's a way to
switch back to v35 behaviour.

As far as I can see, the different hinting levels do no longer have
any effect since freetype-2.7. Have to dig a little deeper into the
sourcecode to fully understand what's going on.

Normally, it is enough to log out and in again to restart the font
renderer, you won't have to reboot..

In addition, to get really sharp fonts, you'll have to delete the
slight hinting set as default in /etc/fonts/conf.d and enable full
hinting. Just delete the link to 10-hinting-slight.conf and create a
new one to 10-hinting-full.conf.

F26 and blurry fonts

2017-07-13 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

for those who love razorsharp fonts just like me but got the new v40 interpreter
coming with freetype-2.7 enforced on them when installing F26: the good old v35
interpreter is still there (and I hope it will be forever). You can
use it by setting the environment variable

 FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35

If you also want subpixel rendering, which now is disabled by default,
you can dig into the foption.h file in the config directory of the
freetype sourcecode, uncomment the option and recompile.

I have never been able to understand why people like the blurry and
muddy Micro$oft-like font rendering... gaah.. Now we have to hack the
source to get rid of that crap.

Pwgen uses /dev/urandom, so the statement that those passwords are
less secure than "fully" random passwords (define "fully random"..) is
merely of academical nature.

In case of any doubt, you can always do something like

 head /dev/random | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c X

where X is your password length. Tr also lets you tailor the

For those who care: looked into it, and the file

previous Fedora releases. At least not in F23/24. So the solution is
to alter or replace the hinting here.

The option you mention is not present in F25/XFCE, but in the

needed, because there are programs that presumably do not obey the
antialiasing and hinting settings, as e.g. firefox or thunderbird,

I'll take a closer look at the remaining F24 system, where this wasn't

No, it's definitely not. I have the same phenomenon on (now) three different
machines. One has nvidia graphics, one AMD and one Intel Ironlake. On
all three, changing the file mentioned in the mail before made the
font sharp and crisp again.

If you use stock Fedora fonts, it may be that is why you didn't notice
the effect. I have always hated blurry fonts, and highly prefer "as
sharp and clear as possible".

What I'm doing is:

1. Recompiling freetype with subpixel rendering and the bytecode
interpreter enabled.

2. Setting antialiasing and hinting to "max" (Applications -> Settings
-> Appearance -> Fonts).

That sufficed to get the desired "as sharp as possible" effect, until
F25. While most of the fonts where as sharp and crisp as before using
1 and 2, some were not, as e.g. in Firefox, Thunderbird and some other
programs. Most probably because they obey the systemwide font
config. This obviously wasn't the case in previous Fedora releases. As
a "sharp and crisp" freak, I can tell that there's a *huge* difference
if a font is slightly or fully hinted.

F25 XFCE font rendering

2016-11-26 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

updated two machines from F24 to F25, and now the fonts configured in
Applications -> Settings -> Appearance are no longer on the same level
of sharpness/clarity as they were in previous Fedora releases.
It is considerably visible in Thunderbird and Firefox. While there was
no problem to get clear and sharp fonts using antialiasing and
hinting, it now seems to be impossible, at least in programs that
adapt their fonts from the above mentioned setting.

Does anybody know what's going on and what I can do to get back
pre-F25 behaviour?

Thanks,

Hmm, maybe you just have to uninstall xarchiver?

FWIW: I just upgraded a laptop from F23 to F24, and during
"system-upgrade download", I remember the download summary showed that
there were 13 packages to be downgraded - on a bog standard F23.

How to build a recent "Fedora kernel for the unexperienced":

1. Grab recent -stable from kernel.org and unpack it into /usr/src
2. Take a look into /boot and grab the config of your recent Fedora
kernel. Example: config-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64
3. Rename this file to ".config" and copy it into the root directory
of your unpacked source
4. Change into the source root directory
5. Do a "make oldconfig". If your new kernel is newer that your recent
Fedora one, you'll have to answer some new question on the
configuration of your new kernel. If you have no clue what to answer,
a "no" for alle of the questions will do it in 95% of the cases.
6. Continue with "nice -n 19 make -j x", where x is the number of your cpus
cores.
7. "make modules_install"
8. "make install"
9. Reboot, you're done.

This kernel will live peacefully together with your Fedora kernels,
without affecting the rpm database or similar.

Btw: your patch should be applied after step 4 and before step 5 ;-)

The same here, on different machines. And it continues with FF 43,
while downgrading to 41 fixes the thing. That's f*ckin' annoying..

Remove all flash rpms from your distribution. Donwload the plugin

You can compile it yourself quite easily. But don't use 4.3.1, it has
a bug affecting X.509 certificate handling that can lead to a
non-bootable system. 4.3.2 is already released.

Then, I would suggest you download 4.3.x from kernel.org directly.
Take a look into /boot, copy the .config of your actual kernel into
the 4.3 sourcetree. You can follow these steps to compile your kernel:

make oldconfig (you'll have to make some decisions here)
make
make modules_install
make install

Your new kernel will live peacefully together with all your other Fedora
kernels installed. If you do not need it any longer some time in the
future, just delete the related files in /boot and /lib/modules, and
remove the sourcetree.

Have done that all my life, since I'm using a heavily customised
configuration which requires compiling a new kernel anyway.

LVM can not possibly be life-threatening, in opposite to a non-used
seatbelt, which is why your argument is bogus ;-)

Automatically introducing complexity into 95% of the users systems just because 
it could
be useful some day is, quite frankly, embarassing. It makes sense the
other way 'round: complexity adds to the diffculties when
having to handle data operations (backup, encryption, transfer,
recovery..) , which in turn makes data loss more likely.

If the kernel has the drivers necessary for your new system, it should

Me too. But I've always one machine left, in case of trouble. And I

This time, I partially broke with old habits not to upgrade within the

F23, Thunar crashes when doing copy & paste

2015-11-07 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

after updating to F23, Thunar crashes when copying/pasting a
file. This is the error message which shows up in the logs:

Thunar[1653]: segfault at 2 ip 7f87c2a2c07d sp 7fff45204d98
error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.1[7f87c29f8000+5]

Donwgrading to latest F22 Thunar doesn't help. The bugs is also
reported by Arch users and others, e.g. here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203663=2

Fortunately, I haven't upgraded my own machine yet. Unfortunately,
I have three extremely annoyed F23 users who want a solution.

Anyone else encountering this? Any solution yet?

The thing is, Firefox now _always_ uses the flashplayer, unless I go
to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and switch to the html5 player. Html5
works flawlessly, but is no longer the default player.

After a closer look, the only thing that's different is the absence of
the flashplayer plugin for the test user. After putting it in place,
it's the same behaviour here as well: when opening a video on youtube,
the flashplayer is always opened first. The only thing that helps is
disabling it entirely. That wasn't the case before. The flashplayer
plugin was always there, but when a video was available as html5, the
html5 player got used. Now, it's just the opposite, and I just can't
see why.

Firefox suddenly defaults to flash again on youtube

2015-11-03 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

the subject says it all. It came out of nowhere, the only thing I
remember is having used youtube-dl on this machine a singe time
today. Firefox used the HTML5 player on youtube, now flash is back as
the default player, and nothing helps to get rid of it. No downgrade,
no upgrade, only the manual switch to HTML5 on the youtube config
page. Next time, flash is back as the default player.

However, after creating a new user, the default player is html5 for
this one.

Where is the config option, switch or whatever changes the default
player in firefox back to html5 again?

Thanks,
 Heinz

I've never used any distribution kernel, and on my F22, there is no

> What can I do to repair the filesystem?

Go to http://www.sysresccd.org and download the sysresccd image to
another machine. Then burn in onto a CD and boot from it. If you have
the syslinux tools installed, you can run

 isohybrid sysresccd.iso

and then copy this image to an USB-stick: cat image.iso > /dev/sdX
and boot from it.

After that, you can use "lsblk -f" to see what kind of filesystems you
have on your damaged machine and the respective blockdevices. The
sysresccd holds all the tools you need to repair most fs: fsck,
xfs_repair and more.

ext3/4 can be repaired using "fsck.ext3 /dev/sdX" or fsck.ext4
respectively.

For XFS, "xfs_repair -v /dev/sdX" will do it.

A DOS Partition can be repaired this way:
dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdX

After repairing, boot your machine, delete the defective libidn.so.11
and reinstall that package. Most probably, this lib got truncated by a
fs crash and became thus unusable.

First, I would test if you can reach the mailserver at all:

telnet smtp.gmail.com 25

If this succeeds, then nstall tcptraceroute (or something similar)
and run it against the mailserver/port you're trying to reach.
It will show you where your packets are being blocked and thus
help you to narrow down the underlying cause.

Example: tcptraceroute smtp.gmail.com -p 25

be played with a 720p / 1080p resolution. And there are a lot of other
videos (real videos, not music playing alongside a static picture)

Using Flash rather than HTML5, both cases just work.

Both options default to false in latest Fedora Firefox 40, which

than max. 480p. At least I can't. Higher resolutions as 720 or 1080p
are only accessible to me when both options are true. Otherwise, I
simply can't choose them. They are not offered.

 Maybe point me to a video that doesn't play for you with them sent to true? 

I already did. It works for you, but not for me, and I wonder why.

  FWIW, I'm not sure of the value of setting media.mediasource.webm.enabled to 
 true since I've not encountered any Matroska formatted videos.

As already written: *not a single* HD video on Youtube offers me to go
above 480p when these two options default to false.

highres video on Youtube (720 or 1080p). When setting

 media.mediasource.enabled
 media.mediasource.webm.enabled

to true as recommended by the Mozilla Community, highres videos play
just fine. BUT some other videos now do not play any longer. In
particular, when setting

 media.mediasource.webm.enabled

to false, those non-working videos work again. But then, no highres
is possible. Example:

More dnf annoyance

2015-08-11 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

F22, in short: first running dnf --refresh upgrade shows some new
packets. Then dnf clean all followed by dnf --refresh upgrade
shows the same packets to be updated, and *some more*.

Dnf hasn't been working properly since F22, while I had not a single
problem with yum ever. Still I have to use dnf clean all before
updating, just to be sure to get all available updates.

There are bug reports reporting the same behaviour, but no solution.
As far as I realise, there isn't a way to get yum back.

Any chance that Fedora gets a properly working packet manager in the
near future?

 No you don't, as has been explained several times recently. You can use
 clean metadata or --refresh. Doing both is redundant.

Obviously, you haven't read my mail with enough attention. The
time between the commands is clearly stated, and so are the commands
itself. I already used the --refresh parameter, and it wasn't enough

 Is there a trick I don't see here ? Because if the backup of those

If you backup all your partitions with rsync, all you have to do in an
emergency case is to boot from e.g. CD or a memory stick [1] and
reverse the rsync command.

Example:

rsync -avxHSAX /home/ /backup/home   -- backup
rsync -avxHSAX --delete /backup/home/ /home   -- restore

The --delete parameter will take care of all the files that are not
in the same state as when they were saved.

So in case of a complete disaster, just restore your data as
described. If your boot sector is damaged, you'll however have to
restore it by hand (which isn't all too difficult).

 Stop right there. This unfortunately sounds like a well-known Google-ism.
 If you send mail to a mailing list that you are on, it does not put the

Though I'm not a Thunderbird user, I wonder why it shouldn't be able
to store a copy of your mail in the INBOX folder. I mean Thunderbird,
not Google.

After all, IMAP is nothing more than a bunch of directories. Maybe I'm
missing something..

Mutt, which is what I'm using, allows specifying where I want to have
my sent emails stored (set record), maybe Thunderbird can do the
same?

Another part of the problem may be that you haven't sorted your
listmail into seperate folders. This being the case, your email will
be sorted correctly when returned by the listserver..

Ok.

 That said, I sometimes do not understand what's the harm in getting
 updates few hours later.  dnf already tells you how old the metadata is
 when it starts, you can choose to get the latest metadata if it is too
 old.  So what's the big deal?

I usually update weekly (or at least once within two weeks). And since
F22, I get nothing to do every time I do this - although there are
updates waiting. Which is.. annoying. So every time I have to clean
the cache to be able to update.

This was at least not how yum behaved. But if it's intended behaviour
now, well...

Mouse wheel acceleration problem

2015-07-19 Thread Heinz Diehl
Hi,

after updating F21-F22, I noticed immediately that the mouse wheel
has got some nasty acceleration. Example: I open a large pdf
document, and as soon as I begin to scroll, I'm on the last
page. After that, scrolling works at normal speed. The same happens
when scrolling a website in Firefox: at first wheel action the scroll
speed is extremely high, and at the next touch, all is back to normal.

This behaviour is driving me insane, and I could't find a solution so far.
Is it something with XFCE, Xorg, whatever? I don't know.

Is anybody here encountering the same phenomenon, and what to do about
it?

What I know so far is that it came with the F22 update.

Thanks,
 Heinz

Re: To the aeskulap guy

 You can take the src rpm from Fedora 21 and use the command:
 rpmbuild --rebuild src rpm. This generates a version of aeskulap to
 Fedora 22. It works in several times.

It doesn't.

Aeskulap may compile, but won't work because the Dicom Toolkit provided by F22 
is not
fully backwards compatible to the (older) version needed by the F21
aeskulap package.

The proper solution mentioned here in the corresponding thread is
either installing the F21 rpm together with the F21 Dicom Toolkit, or
replacing the F22 Dicom Toolkit with the latest from F21 and
recompiling a recent version of aeskulap.

This is because vtkThreadedStreamingPipeline.h was removed from

 Sometimes it takes days for problems to show up.

Most often, mprime95 is a better alternative and fails within a short

One full hour with each of the three stress-tests (respectively) will usually

make localmodconfig is what you're after. Be aware that
localmodconfig does exactly what you want. So if you e.g. don't have

Set up the console and output in grub.cfg:

terminal_input serial
terminal_output serial

Then tell the kernel to use it (grub.cfg, as a kernel parameter):

console=tty0 console=ttyUSB0

Now, you just have to connect another PC to the serial port of your
machine. Reboot, and fire up minicom or something similar, and you'll
get a login screen (and the redirected output).
