F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!

by William Mattison

Good afternoon, Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" = "users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely messages from this list are not junk! thanks, Bill.

how to set 24-hour clock (military time) on Fedora 20 in KDE?

by Kenneth Wolcott

Hi; I can't seem to find any way to change the Fedora 20 KDE time and date settings so that the time is displayed in the 24-hour format like military time. Is this not possible? Thanks, Ken Wolcott

Sending a desktop to a big screen

by Amit Prahesh

Hi there, imagine a medium sized office room, where four engineers hack away (all of them currently have Fedora 22 workstations, to stay on topic.) On that room there's a fifth PC, hooked to a big TV on the wall (also running F22) that has Firefox running full screen with some visualization of sorts (dashboard thingy). Those five computers are all on the company wired network... nothing you haven't seen a thousand times before. Now, Sally, one of the engineers wants to share her desktop with the others and uses application XYZ to project/cast/extend/send it to the big TV (via its PC, of course). All of them discuss whatever was on her mind, and five minutes later, she closes application XYZ and the office goes back as it was before. Fred wants to do the same, and he does. Actually all of them can. They asked me what is XYZ. I was thinking on a member of the VNC family, but what they want to do is the reverse of what one normally do with VNC. To make things more... interesting? XYZ must never go out of the corporate LAN and if it were Open Source, the better. Any ideas on XYZ? Best regards, Amit. PS. Erm... one last thing. If there's a solution, could it include sending the audio as well?

dnf update vs Software Udpates

by Javier Perez

This is weird. Software Updates on the Control Panel says that there are 39 updates available But when I run dnf update it says "Nothing to do". What gives?

/boot and encrypted partitions?

by Dave Johansen

I was luck enough to be bitten by this issue ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212907 ) when attempting to do a clean install of F22. I copied all of my data off and then tried manually setting things up as separate partitions (instead of in an LVM) but it kept telling me that /boot couldn't be on a LUKS partition. The config I had was /home was encrypted and / was encrypted but then the biosboot partition was not encrypted, and all 3 were standard partitions. Is this something that's just not supported? Or was I doing something wrong? Thanks, Dave

UEFI system: reboot does not work but shutdown -r now does

by Ranjan Maitra

Hi, On a new UEFI-boot desktop running Fedora 22, the command (on a terminal prompt) "reboot" does not actually bring up the system. Actually, it is not clear that the system even goes down. What happens is that the monitor light goes off but the desktop light stays on -- and nothing happens. I don't even see the Fedora f/infinity bubble. However, running "shutdown -r now" brings the Fedora f/infinity bubble, the lights switch and the system boots again. What is the issue here? Any suggestions? I have never had this happen previously, but then this my first try at a UEFI system. Is it possible to disable "reboot" -- i am concerned about "reboot"ing remotely by habit and accident and the system not coming up until being powered on. I considered renaming the file /usr/sbin/reboot to something else, but then an update to systemd would likely break my "fix".

Mounting exfat usb stick

by JD

$ grep sdc1 /etc/fstab UUID=BE5F-383B /sdc1 exfat noauto,rw,user,uid=508,gid=508 1 1 # cat /etc/fuse.conf # mount_max = 1000 user_allow_other $ mount /sdc1 FUSE exfat 1.0.1 fusermount: option blkdev is privileged So I tried as root, and it mounted OK: mount | grep sdc1 /dev/sdc1 on /sdc1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=508,group_id=508,allow_other,blksize=4096) then as root I tried to copy a file to /sdc1: # cp rpms.list /sdc1/ cp: cannot create regular file ‘/sdc1/rpms.list’: No such file or directory So, what else need I do so that regular users can mount and write to usb sticks that are formatted as exfat FS? These are the relevant rpms installed: fuse-exfat-1.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64 exfat-utils-1.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64
