radiotray, gstreamer plugin
by Jon LaBadie
Using "radiotray" in a mate environment on Fedora 24.
For many stations I get the following warning message:
Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
gstdecodebin2.c(3576): gst_decode_bin_expose (): \
/GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin7/ \
GstDecodeBin2:decodebin26: \
no suitable plugins found
So far as I can tell, all the available plugins for
gstreamer and gstreamer1 (12 each) are installed.
How can I determine what is missing?
Jon

What do Network Manager / Network Messages Mean That are Shown at
Boot Time
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
What do the messages listed below, particularly the last two, which
are listed in boot.log, mean relative to ethernet and wifi network
devices (I am assuming a wireless mouse has no impact on this situation)
that are configured in Network Manager to not be connected to at boot
time and definitions that are?
Starting Network Manager...
[ OK ] Started Network Manager.
Starting Network Manager Wait Online...
Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service...
[ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.
[ OK ] Started Network Manager Wait Online.
Starting LSB: Bring up/down networking...
[ OK ] Started LSB: Bring up/down networking.
[ OK ] Reached target Network.
[ OK ] Reached target Network is Online.
I am particularly interested in whether the last two are produced
because the checking process successfully found usable devices that
could be used for the network, as opposed to devices that Network
Manager has been told to connect to at boot, and if it is the latter
option how can the network be online when dkms has not finished
compiling and installing into the kernel the driver for the only device
that Network Manager has been told to connect to boot. I am assuming
that the pci wireless device that functions with an inbuilt kernel
module (ATH9K) is not being network activated when there isn't a
definition for that device in Network Manager.

Steve

Extreme UI lag when copying files on Nautilus( fedora 25)
by Bill Kontos
I am encountering a bug that causes extreme UI and mouse lag when copying files using Nautilus on a fedora 25 installation. The system is up to date as of 9/2/2017. This is encountered both when I'm copying from a directory on the internal hard drive to another directory or from a directory from the internal hard drive to a removable media. Mouse, switching windows pressing super, everything lags. The lag stops when the copy operation is completed or if I cancel it.
Is this a known bug with a workaround or should I report it ? If I should report it can you point me where and how ?

Apologies - somehow my original email was severely truncated in
transit. But that's irrelevant and I have found a way to solve the problem.
It isn't obvious, but it is possible to do it and if there is any
interest I can send the procedure. (Basically it's a mixture of shell
scripts* and GUI actions.)
________
* if you don't like shell scripts the commands aren't that difficult to
cut and paste - I just did it that way so that I wouldn't have to type
it twice...
Thanks to anyone who sent a response off-list whom I haven't already
thanked.

[F25, KDE] very very slow internet connexion
by Frédéric Bron
I experience very very slow internet connexions, in particular when on
google web sites. Mostly I use firefox but occasionnaly konqueror. Is
there anything I could do to determine if it comes from fedora,
firefox or my internet provider?
$ ping www.google.com

bluetooth broken (?)
by Frank Elsner
Hi,
running Fedora 25 with kernel-PAE-4.9.5-200.fc25.i686
bluez-libs-5.43-2.fc25.i686
blueman-2.0.4-4.fc25.i686

pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-10.0-2.fc25.i686
bluez-obexd-5.43-2.fc25.i686
I cannot enable bluetooth. Clicking the bluetooth applet in my
panel does nothing.
The log shows:

Does anyone tried to install Fedora the Lenovo Yoga Book? If yes does

[OT] - mail.google.com - FYI
by JD
I open firefox for 2 different profiles with the command:
/usr/bin/firefox -P -no-remote %u
In each profile A, I login to my one gmail account
and in second profile I login to my other gmail account.
Attempting to login to 2nd account fails because I am not granted
the same login screen where you enter you email address, and then
prompted for the password. Instead, you can only creat a new pay-for-it
account.
Google must be hurting for cash ??? :) :)
