Power management and docks
by John Morris
Been banging my head against a minor problem for months now. Finally
giving up and asking...
Have a Thinkpad and a dock. Mate still allows for this arrangement, I
can even configure it to stay powered on with the lid closed off of the
dock if I want. The problem is I can't logout and back in or reboot.
The second Mate releases control over power the machine suspends if the
lid is down, like most cases while docked.
Googled, poked around in config files, etc. Nothing seems to allow
changing of the power policy while at the login screen. I can totally
disable the lid from /etc/systemd/logind.conf but that is overkill. I
do want the system to suspend if the AC is disconnected and the lid
closes.

Discovering and controlling paps font choices
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I realize that it was sometime ago, but much thanks to whomever passed on
the advice of using paps in place of enscript, especially when
unicode/UTF-8 is involved.
Since then I've essentially stopped using enscript and am working with
paps.
However, I still don't have a good handle on how to control fonts; by
example, my standard commandline using paps looks like this:
paps --landscape --paper=letter --columns=2 --font="Monospace-Bold 6" SomeFileName | lpr -P MyLinePrinter
Using this particular font choice, gives me an Arial-like font, not
something monospaced. If I replace the hyphen w/ a space, I then get
Courier.
I've looked a bit both googling and the various installed RPMs to see if I
could determine the naming of the fonts, but with no good results.
Any advice in this regard?
Much thanks in advance,
Max Pyziur

Raid-1 setup -
by Bob Goodwin
If I select two large drives and check the boxes for Raid mirrored does
it create a raid-1 system for me or must I first set up the system
before running the installer?

Fedora 20 Mate System Sounds
by Rich
Hi,
I've been running Fedora Mate 20 for about 6 months and it is admirable.
Everythng appears to work except for my system sounds, example: login sound, shutdown sound, etc...
I've tried everything I know and can't seem to get them working.
I've loaded the few sounds themes available to me.
Sound works when testing using the mixer, as well as when using Chrome and netflix.
Has anyone else had this problem?

torrent.fedoraproject.org RSS feed?
by Ben Blankley
I sent the following note to the infrastructure list, but maybe it's
better suited to users? It was never approved for the infrastructure
list. Please delete if it is offtopic.
With the impending release of F21, I was planning on setting up my
RSS-enabled Bittorrent client to get the F21 final ISO downloading as
soon as possible. Is there an RSS feed for torrent.fedoraproject.org?
If not, is there a mirror-friendly way to automate such a download
upon final release, whether through Bittorrent, rsync, or http?
I have a few systems at home that will need a full new installation
from F20, and since I'm on slow internet I'd rather just download
packages once, while I'm at work in CST. I haven't figured out how to
set up a local update mirror cache yet.
Thanks,
Ben Blankley

Fedupdated v20 to v21 - perfect!
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I just updated from F20 x86_64 to F21 via fedup and although it took a
while - it was completely painless!
The only thing that was odd was when downloading RPMs (console) parts of
one line would be duplicated over the whole screen and then letters
would start disappearing (an odd screensaver thing?) - I don't know what
that was about but it was just a display thing and pushing SHIFT caused
a sensible output again.
The only package issue was some dependency problem with pdftk but I will
worry about that later.
Thanks again people!
Regards,
Phil.

using vlc, or wget or smplayer, how
do I download a stream which the FF plugin downloadhelper says
is made of many files, each one of which has the extension .f4f
When I download the .f4f files, they are not playable by any media player.
