Try changing your icon theme to something else, then back to what you
were using before. I did

Applications->Settings->Appearance->(Icons tab)

and switched from the Fedora icon theme to Crux and closed that app.
After verifying the icons changed, I used it again to go back to the
Fedora theme.

I think that's how I fixed it. However, I suffered a major power
glitch around when I was doing that and ended up having to blow my
.config directory away and restoring it from a backup. That may have
been the fix. Not sure.

I normally use "xfce dusk" bd some icon selection, none made a 
difference there either.

Assuming you're starting the GUI from systemd startup, you can find
which is used by default by doing something like:

[root@prophead ~]# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 39 Oct 17  2016
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service

So by default, systemd will spin up the lightdm display manager. I think
that's set up by a scriptlet when you install XFCE but I won't swear to
it.

.
[root@box83 bong]# ls -l /etc/systems/system/display-manager.service
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Apr 25 02:35 
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service


However gdm is not active, it loks like there is no DM running, is that 
possible?


[root@box83 bobg]# systemctl status gdm.service
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: disabled)

   Active: inactive (dead)

As Joe points out it probably had lightdm running before I began making 
changes trying to fix an intermittent scan problem I can't even describe 
yet.


This resulted from the replacement of a ViewSonic monitor that did not 
deal with edid and I think I have cleaned out all the xrandr stuff but 
perhaps there is some artifact still lurking.


I can systemctl start lightdm or gdm, but what is it running on now, 
nothing?

The Fedora 28 computer:

● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled; vendor

The same command on Fedora 27 says:
UNit display-manager.service could not be found.

Also systemctl status dmlight/gdm result in not found?

I know that "systemctl status" is a good working command.

Yes, I generally prefer to use "startxfce4."

And when I do "systemctl set-default multi-user.target" it disables 
lightdm which is why I am seeing no dm? It gets loaded but the status 
hows "inactive: dead."

Can't play .mov video -

2018-10-15 Thread Bob Goodwin-Fastmail

.

This Fedora 28 VLC will not play the video part of a .mov file. I see 
the first frame as a fixed image and the sound works, I hear the music 
but dancers [my grand daughter's ballet class] don't move. Another clip 
that I know plays normally on a Fedora 27 system, but not on this F28 
system, produces the following errors:

One video in the group was an mp4, it played as expected, but the others 
were .mov, I don't know why they were not all the same type, and I was 
surprised to see this problem. I use vlc from rpmfusion and it always 
just works for almost anything fed to it.  Until tonight I've only 
viewed rtsp camera video on this F28 system and there are no problems 
with that.


Any suggestions as to what I am missing?

In future, ask whoever is sending these videos to you to turn off hevc

The other file format you mention is probably one of these:

J believe that is an alternate for jpeg and we have avoided using it so far.

This F-28 box is connected to a new HP monitor with an hdmi cable, the 
F-27 happens to be connected with a DVI cable.


And, do you have libva-intel-driver installed?

I dnf installed libva-intel-driver It was not installed since dnf 
accepted it I assume?


And, to my surprise, today, after this mornings reboot VLC is playing 
.mov and mp4 files as it should have before I queried with my problem. 
Was it the libva driver? I checked after installing it but did not 
reboot until this morning and qas not able to get back to this until 
this afternoon.


It appears that the problem is solved with some uncertainty about the 
fix ...


Thanks to all for the help,

Bob
