I wonder if the situation has changed substantially since last August.

What well-supported options are there now?  In the meantime, I had
access to a hi-DPI device with a touchscreen, running GNOME and KDE,
and I wasn't very impressed with the user experience.  At least a lot
of configuration is needed, and maybe some coding. :-(

When running the profile that doesn't play the videos, are you able to
see the videos choosing html5 from this link:
https://www.youtube.com/html5 ?

I have 2 profiles on Firefox.
They both have identical add-on's via firefox's drop-down menu
Tools -> Add-ons

on both profiles, add-ons have identical setup/configuration.

On one profile, I can play youtube vids, no problem.

On the other profile, youtube plays, but does not 'display'
the video. The video screen remains black.

I checked and rechecked the settings on both profiles
and they are identical.

So, what else should I look at to get to the bottom of this.

No! :(

Nevertheless, I did find the cause of the problem.
It was an addon that I rarely used. If I used it, I
used it in only one of the profiles. The add-on is
YouTube ALL HTML5 2.1.3

After I uninstalled it and restarted, then youtube
played normally. I removed it also from the 2nd profile.

Thanx.

dnf metalink issue: Fedora Updates repo

2015-05-09 Thread Steven P. Ulrick

Hello, Everyone
If I run "dnf upgrade" with the "metalink" line uncommented in 
"/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo", the result is as follows:


[root@afolkey2 ~]# dnf upgrade
rpm.livna.org for 20 - x86_64   3.8 kB/s 
| 3.4 kB 00:00
Fedora 20 - x86_64 - VirtualBox   168 kB/s 
|  52 kB 00:00
Open source multiplatform video transcoder  28 kB/s | 7.2 kB 
00:00
RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Free - Updates  1.6 MB/s | 480 
kB 00:00
RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Nonfree - Updates599 kB/s | 172 
kB 00:00
Adobe Systems Incorporated   12 kB/s | 
1.8 kB 00:00
rpm.livna.org for 20 - x86_64 - Source6.5 kB/s | 1.9 
kB 00:00
google-chrome - 64-bit49 
kB/s | 3.7 kB 00:00



Then, after a few minutes of no apparent activity, the following happens:
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates' from 
'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f20&arch=x86_64': 
Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All 
mirrors were tried


In that example, "dnf upgrade" fails.

If I run "yum upgrade", the result is as follows:
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks
updates/20/x86_64/metalink|  14 kB  00:00:00
updates| 4.9 kB 00:00:00
http://mirror.symnds.com/distributions/fedora/updates/20/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: 
[Errno -1] repomd.xml does not match metalink for updates

Trying other mirror.

After that last message, a similar message is displayed for each mirror.

In that example, "yum update" succeeds.

BUT, it I comment out 
"metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch"; 
in "/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo" and un-comment
"baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/";, 
"dnf upgrade" and "yum update" proceed normally.


Is anyone else having this issue? I have checked this list for the past 
few days for this issue, and I have not seen it mentioned.


To sum this up, if I use "baseurl" instead of "metalink" in 
"/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo" "dnf upgrade" succeeds.
If I use "metalink" instead of "baseurl" in 
"/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo" "dnf upgrade" fails.


Thank you,
