Alternatives to "No Native Notifications" Firefox extension.
by Sam Varshavchik
With Firefox 57 looming on the horizon, this is the only extension that I
have that won't work with it.
I tinkered with XFCE's notification settings manager, until native
notifications look sort of like Firefox's own notifications, but the native
ones are still much more compact, take up much less screen real estate, and
are much less intrusive.
Anyone know of any 57+-compatible alternative, to keep using Firefox's
notifications, instead of the system ones?

f26 to f26 cups sharing problem
by tar＠sonic.net
I'm having a cups sharing issue in what should be a straightforward
situation: an existing f26 system (the client) trying to get a
remote printer from a freshy installed f26 system (the server).
cupsd.conf on the server is set to allow sharing in general
and of the desired printer in particular,
and the firewalls (server and client) have mdns and ipp-client ports open.
Both machines are on the same internal network (192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.6)
and I can ssh between them just fine so the network is ok.
On the client side, "avahi-browse -a" shows the printer from the server
just fine:
+ enp9s0 IPv4 HP Deskjet D2500 series @ liberty Internet
Printer local
+ enp9s0 IPv4 HP Deskjet D2500 series @ liberty _ipps._tcp
local
+ enp9s0 IPv4 HP Deskjet D2500 series @ liberty UNIX
Printer local
However, "cups-browsed -v" has an issue:(running with cups-browsed.service
stopped for testing)
Avahi Browser: NEW: service 'HP Deskjet D2500 series @ liberty' of
type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local'
Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
Avahi Browser: NEW: service 'HP Deskjet D2500 series @ liberty' of
type '_ipps._tcp' in domain 'local'
Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
Avahi-Resolver: Failed to resolve service 'HP Deskjet D2500 series @
liberty' of type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
listening
Avahi-Resolver: Failed to resolve service 'HP Deskjet D2500 series @
liberty' of type '_ipps._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
If I "systemctl restart cups.service" on the server, then retry the
browse, the
result is:
Could not connect to the server liberty.local:631 for
Deskjet-D2500-series!
So it seems like the broadcast from the server is working
but for some reason the server is not allowing the clien
to get the additional information from port 631.
Port 631 (ipp-client) is allowed by the firewall,
and "systemctl stop firewalld"
on the server does not change the behavior.
The address "liberty.local:631" is suspect, as the server should be
liberty.localdomain,
but even adding liberty.local to /etc/hosts made no difference.
On the server, a netstat shows
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:ipp 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
882/cupsd
tcp6 0 0 [::]:ipp [::]:* LISTEN
882/cupsd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:ipp 0.0.0.0:*
938/cups-browsed
so it sure seems like the server is listening on the right port...
and this client has no problem connecting to a legacy f14 system.
any clues or suggestions?

Any changes to php / httpd that need changes in configurationfiles?
by Teaterljud se
We have problems since an update with php pages (PHP 7.1.10, Apache/2.4.28 (Fedora 27))
I just noticed that changes was made to mariadb-configuration in some way, we had /var/run/mariadb/ as pid dir and this dir was automatic removed so mysql couldnt start..
Have it been made any changes that I need to do?
apache logs dont show anything, but php dont work and we made several reinstalles and tryes..
Thanks in advance

F26 Xfce install
by Robert Moskowitz
Past time to set up a F26 system with Xfce. Should have gotten off F24
months ago, but finally bought a new drive for the install...
Anyway, all I see is a live image for F26 Xfce. Does the Netinstall
give you the options for which desktop? Or doing an install to a clean
drive work off the live ISO?
I want complete control over how the partitions are set up.
thanks

Bash startup files
by GianPiero Puccioni
Hi,
I have a question about the system startup files for bash.
The problem I had was that I set up an alias in ~/.bashrc, let's say
alias ls="ls -lh"
but it didn't work as "alias ls" reported
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
What happens is that at the end ~/.bashrc sources /etc/bashrc which sources
/etc/profile.d/*.sh that redefine "ll".
This happens on F24, F25, F26 and CentOS....
Easy to correct, but the question is: is that right? None of the examples I
found on line does that and /etc/profile.d/*.sh are already sourced by
/etc/profile (which is the first startup file read on login). Is this a quirk of
RedHat or an error that still remains in the files or what?

OT: smplayer Question
by JD
Is there a way to tell smplayer to save "the best formats of audio and
video" of a download into mp4.
More often than not, it merges the audio file and video file into mkv;
to wit:
youtube-dl -ci <the youtube url> ....
.
.
.
Requested formats are incompatible for merge and will be merged into mkv.
.
.
Thanx!
