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.

enp0s8 not configured notification popups every few minutes (annoying)
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hi;
enp0s8 not configured notification popups every few minutes (annoying)
I just installed Fedora Live 64-bit KDE as a VirtualBox Guest OS.
I want to have two VirtualBox ethernet interfaces:
One for the vm to "see" outwards (NAT Network) and
Two for me to ssh into it (Host-only) so that I'm not forced to use
the console.
Every few minutes (it seems like every few seconds), I get a
notification popup that states that enp0s8 is not configured and then
a notification popup that it is being disabled.
How do I configure my outgoing ethernet interface?
I used to edit a file called something like /etc/network*/interface
and then I could change the default DHCP setting to be static and the
default disabled (off) setting to be enabled (on).
How does one do that kind of stuff now?
Is that a systemd thing?
Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

installing via VNC over ipv6
by Chris Murphy
This suggests installation using vnc over ipv6 is supported:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Ipv6OnlyInstallation
But when I use inst.vnc boot option, I get an text screen that says to
connect to an ipv4 address, an ipv6 address isn't listed. When I go to
a shell and use 'ip addr' there is a global ipv6 address, but no
formatting for tigervnc I've come up with will connect, it won't
connect:
vncviewer.desktop[12590]: CConn: unable connect to socket:
Invalid argument (22)
If I boot Fedora 23 Server on this same hardware, the 'ip addr'
address can be used successfully to ssh into the server, and also
point a browser to https://[ipv6]:9090 to reach the Cockpit interface
successfully.
root 1744 0.0 0.9 251060 36468 pts/0 Sl+ 03:29 0:00 Xvnc
:1 -depth 16 -br IdleTimeout=0 -auth /dev/null -once
DisconnectClients=false desktop=Fedora rawhide installation on host
10.0.0.15 SecurityTypes=None rfbauth=0
I can't tell if -InTransports needs to explicitly specify ipv6 for it
to work. But at this point I'm stumped and can't tell if it's user
error or a bug. And netstat isn't on non-live media apparently so I
don't have access to that while xvnc is running to see if it's
listening over something other than just an ipv4 address.

F23 kickstart stalls
by CLOSE Dave
Trying to kickstart a Dell R630 with ten total Ethernet ports, I see
this output.
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 23.19.10-1 for Fedora 23 started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain
attachments
18:03:37 Not asking for VNC because of an automated install
Starting automated
install...........................................................................................................................................................................................
The dots continue "forever".
/tmp/ifcfg.log ends with a series of lines like this (where the last
character varies from 0..9),
18:03:40:558 DEBUG ifcfg: IfcfFile.read
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?
/tmp/program.log ends with a series of lines like,
18:03:38.616 DEBUG program: Return code: 0
18:03:38.619 INFO program: Running... udevadm settle --timeout=300
The files in /tmp are not growing though it has been more than 20
minutes since the process started. On some attempts, the dots continue
all night. Other identical machines have been successfully installed
using the exact same procedure.
Does anyone know the possible cause of this issue?

liveusb-creator gone?
by Timothy Murphy
Has liveusb-creator been replaced by Fedora Media Writer?
I'm having difficulty installing Knoppix on a stick with the latter,
although I had no problem installing an older version of Knoppix
on the same USB stick with liveusb-creator some time ago.
The copy now completes without error, but the stick is not seen
as a bootable device, and re-booting my ThinkPad T510
ignores the USB stick, and goes to the usual kernel menu.
I read that Fedora Media Writer is able to restore a USB stick
to factory setting, but I see no way to do this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

can't switch from X to tty consoles
by maderios
Hi
Sometimes with F23, after some hours, I can't switch from X to tty
consoles (ex, with ctrl+alt+f2). Consoles are frozen, I can switch only
to tty1, from which I started X with startx. All F23 kernel versions are
concerned, now kernel-4.4.7. Same problem happens with xfce4, fluxbox or
Enlightenment-0.20.x. I don't use any display manager like lightdm, gdm,
etc...
Any idea?

After this morning's dnf upgrade of
Thunderbird I would like to try Claws mail.
I would like to configure claws to
display white text on a black background
but have not been able to find how to do
that.
Suggestions appreciated.
