VirtualBox shared folder looses connection after a while
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
With the most recent versions of VirtualBox, the shared folder is not
working properly as before.
My guest machine is running Windows 7, and the shared folder works
fine during some time. However, after some time, the connection to the
shared folder gets lost. Are other people experiencing the same? Any
workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

more systemd brilliance
by Tom Horsley
Sometime recently systemd has decided to shutdown
the network interfaces before it unmounts all the
NFS filesystems, thus resulting in about a 5 minute
timeout on reboot.
I've now added code to my pre-reboot script to
umount -l and umount -f every nfs filesystem
prior to really rebooting, and I can reboot without
the 5 minute delay now (sheesh).

sagemath
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
The version of sagemath that I run sagemath-8.0-2.fc28.x86_64, gives me
an error:
Oops, Sage crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but..
Should I try to compile the version 8.5 for my fedora 28?
Thank.

Hi All,
Anyone have a favorite on screen keyboard that will operate
under Xfce?
I have been using Florence, but it seems to not be supported
anymore and crashes a lot.
Many thanks,

vcgencmd missing in Fedora 29 arm
by Simone Marchioni
Hi to all,
I'm new both in the ARM and Raspberri Pi world.
Managed to install Fedora 29 Server on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with an USB SSD.
The system works flawlessly but I can't find vcgencmd and relative commands to manage the hardware of the RPI.
Looked for an RPM package but I can't find nothing.
Is there a package with tools to manage HW? Temperature, CPU Frequency, and so on. Or is better to replace vcgencmd with something else?
Thanks in advance

Shredding a removable drive (OT)
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I'm using shred on some 2Tb USB disk drive that I plan to give away.
So far it has taken 8 hours to shred 50% of the drive, which implies
that it will take about 16 hours to shred the whole drive. I have
another 2 drives to go.
Is there a quicker way to protect my data when I give the drives away,
other than smashing the drives to bits?
Thanks - jon

strange issue with tty
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I am trying to trace down a strange issue with one of my computers.
tty1 will display a strange character "Ĝ" instead of spaces. Clear the
screen and the characters fill all the blankspaces. Reboot, the
terminal is filled with these characters.
Other tty's (ctl+alt+F{x}) on the computer work as expected.
No X running on this computer. Two different video cards.
I am at a loss.
I have not tried to change any settings on the computer for the tty's
that I can remember.
