As you mentioned before, all is about choices. If there's no interest in what the user base needs, well, the user base will move away, resulting in less and less feedback, which lets developing get more and more difficult. Bugs remain undiscovered, features get less testing, and so on. In case of Gnome 3, I guess it it won't collect much new users over from Wind*ws or Apple related systems. Think logically: those who try will probably have a great optical experience, but when things are unstable, unreliable and buggy and you have work to be done, you'll quickly move away and blame "the difficult Linux" or whatever for the bad experience. Not to mention what such a user will write if anybody is asking how Gnome 3 can be an alternative to let's say Wind*ws 7, and how many users are just too busy to try it by themselves after a lot of negative publicity... I for myself have been a big Gnome fan over a lot of years, and have been using it both at home and at work. I also have been a big LXDE and xmonad fan, which runs on all of my laptops. Not a big thing for me, I'll drop F15, and when F16 comes out, I'll stick with LXDE.

With mydestination you specify your local domain(s). Example: mydestination = fritha.org All mail handled by postfix which goes to .fritha.org will be delivered locally. When there's no local user for it, the mail will be undeliverable and bounce. Mail to .fritha.org will not be send to the smarthost or elsewhere. You can say that this postfix is the mail server for fritha.org. (For virtual hosting of a domain, you'll have to configure it in the virtual alias db). The myorigin parameter defines where your mail is coming from when you send a mail. Example: you log in as "htd" and write a mail to somebody.

When you e.g. receive mail via a script locally, they will most probably not have the FQDN. You have to tell postfix that these mails should be delivered locally, and you can do that by adding "localhost" and "myhostname". See "aliases", too. > Am I rignt in thinking that fetchmail actually passes the email > on to postfix's sendmail-emulator? Judging from the header fragments you posted, I'm shure that your fetchmail connects to your postfix via localhost on port 25. You could avoid that step by telling fechmail to deliver your mail to "something else" (see the "mda" option). Here's an example (from my own setup). I'm polling mail from a pop3 server, which gets delivered directly to procmail. Procmail invokes CRM114 (configured as a spam filter), sorts the mail and finally delivers it into the respective maildirs, where mutt picks them up when reading. No postfix involved, because it's not neccessary. Mail I send is delivered to postfix on localhost (via mutt), which connects with my uplink (smarthost) and pushes the mail out. > Postfix has delivered the email to alfred.gayleard.eu > (which happens to be the hostname of the machine postfix is running on) > because I specified this as mydestination - > and then postfix has added one or two headers to say that it has done this? Yes. Your postfix is set up to be the final destination for your domain/host. Postfix recognizes this mail to be delivered locally. Btw: the "Received:" headers are the only ones which can not be completely faked by e.g. spammers, because they are added by the processing MTA after the mail is sent. > Actually, I wouldn't say that postfix "finally delivers these mails" to me, > since I'm also running amavis and dovecot, > and the mail finishes up on ~/maildir > from which I collect it with KMail on my laptop. Postfix delivers your mail to what you have specified in "home_mailbox" after processing, in your case. What you do with it afterwards is out of reach for postfix, which regards your mail as delivered when it's send to "home_mailbox". Maybe I begin to understand what confuses you: don't think of mail only going into two directions (in/out) when you think of a fully-fledged MTA as e.g. postfix, exim, sendmail and similar. Otherwise, you miss "through". The MTA can not know if mail which comes "in" (fetchmail) or shall "out" (mail you send) should go these ways unless you told it explicitely. This is why mydestination, the smarthost and other parameters are crucial. You could e.g. set up postfix solely as a relay/mail gateway. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

More dnf annoyance
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?

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).

Firefox, HTML5 and high res. videos
Hi, F22, latest Firefox 40. With standard configuration, I can't play any 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.

The thing is: it only plays when the two config options mentioned before are set to "false". But then, not a single video on Youtube can be played with a 720p / 1080p resolution. And there are a lot of other videos (real videos, not music playing alongside a static picture) which won't play when highres HTML5 is enabled in Firefox. Using Flash rather than HTML5, both cases just work. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

So now the question is: why does it play for you, but not for me when both options are set to "true"? Both options default to "false" in latest Fedora Firefox 40, which means you can't watch any video on Youtube with a higher resolution 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".

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.

Firefox suddenly defaults to flash again on youtube
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?

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. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
