Screencast
by pmkellly@frontier.com
I'm not having much luck making my first screencast. Contrary to
appearances this isn't a misplaced bug report. I'm just trying to get a
recommendation on a screencaster that will work for me.
I've worked with videos before on Fedora I started with files from my
video camera, edited them with Pitivi and watched them with videos. I
have all the codecs loaded and I've tried out my F31 by playing some of
my prior videos with Videos. Everything works fine.
The two screencasters I could find were Peek and Vokoscreen. I installed
them both with no problems. Peek doesn't do full screen or audio and I
need both. Vokoscreen seemed to work and when I played back the file I
got the audio, but the screen was just black. I tried a couple different
File formats with no success.
For prior occasions I set up my video camera on a tripod in front of my
screen with a microphone connected to the camera. That was awkward since
I had to work in a dark room and the camera was in front of the screen.
It worked though the video quality was less than optimal.
I need to create another training video and thought I would try out a
screencaster. Does anyone here happen to know of a screencaster that
does full screen, audio, and works good? This won't be on a website. The
trainees will watch the video on a nice big television; so I use the
video file formats and associated codecs.
Have a Great Day!

need WordPress help
by pmkellly@frontier.com
So far I have been using the Word Press appllication at this web site:
https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/
I prepare my rough draft using LibreOffice Writer. Then I enter the
title on the web page and copy my draft from Writer into the Content box
on the web page and save it. I access the article for subsequent editing
via the link that appears in the Quick Draft box after the save. The
online editor seems to be vary basic and there doesn't seem to be any
easy way change tables. So I make any change to tables in Writer and
Copy / Paste them back to the online Wordpress. I've tried editing a
table using the Code Editor in WordPress, but that is a chore. I'm
guessing there is a bunch of stuff that I missed. How should I be doing
tables in WordPress. Also I see when someone has edited one of my tables
they have sometimes added color shading to rows. I would like to know
how they do that.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!

The online editor seems to be vary basic and there doesn't seem to be
any easy way to make a Code Block. I think there must be a way to make a
Code Block since I've seen them in other Fedora Magazine articles. I
briefly thought about using GIMP's text tool to make them up as PNGs,
but somehow that doesn't seem right. I will appreciate it if someone
can explain it to me.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!

Article for Fedora Pastebin retirement
by Rick Elrod
Hello, I've drafted an article discussing how Fedora Infrastructure is
turning off our Modern Paste servers and switching `fpaste` to use the
CentOS pastebin instead.
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29708&preview=true
Please review and provide any feedback. The sooner we can get it out,
the better, because we are turning off those servers on December 1.
I tried posting it to the Community Blog instead but they said it should
go to Magazine instead.

Re: Where is the "reply" button
by Paul Frields
I think your email was caught up in the same "invited before logged in"
issue we've recently been having. Try again now.
