Fix Gnome 3.16 icons too big on desktop

To fix the icon size:

install dconf-editor

In dconf-editor, Navigate to: org > gnome > nautilus > icon-view

change the value for "default zoom level" to small. 



Consider changing the default icon size from 64 to 48 in conjunction with this.

Installing Chromium Browser in Fedora 23


If you want to get the full multilib tree with signed packages (notably for libusbx.i686 and libusbx.x86_64), go to https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium/ and use that repository instead.

Use this command to create a repos:
sudo gedit  /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-chromium-stable.repo


# Place this file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory

[fedora-chromium-stable]
name=Builds of the "stable" tag of the Chromium Web Browser
baseurl=https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
skip_if_unavailable=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/spot.gpg

[fedora-chromium-stable-source]
name=Builds of the "stable" tag of the Chromium Web Browser - Source
baseurl=https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/fedora-$releasever/SRPMS
enabled=0
skip_if_unavailable=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/spot.gpg




For some reason, I keep getting an gpg error:

warning: /var/cache/dnf/fedora-chromium-stable-fae8399dc26ced2e/packages/chromium-46.0.2490.80-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 93054260: NOKEY
Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/spot.gpg [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/spot.gpg]
The downloaded packages were saved in cache till the next successful transaction.

I run this command:

sudo rpm --import http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/spot.gpg

After running the above command , try reinstall Chromium again:

sudo dnf install chromium

Voila. Good Luck
