F26 Xfce install
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

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 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

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? GianPiero

OT: smplayer Question
by JD 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

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!

who forgets to turn on audio?
by Tom Horsley 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

This has just started happening: I'll play a youtube video in google-chrome and get no audio. I'll start poking around and eventually run gnome-control-center sound As soon as the sound control panel pops up, audio will start playing in youtube. So which component here is failing to activate something to make audio work? Anyone else seeing this? I've got an nvidia card and the audio should be coming from the HDMI output. It is almost like it forgets that the audio is set to HDMI out and suddenly remembers that when I start the control panel.

Kernel 4.13.5-200 Ate^h^h^hMogrified My Laptop
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

I have a ThinkPad Yoga 11e, which is a convertible notebook/tablet device. Prior to a recent kernel update, it worked just fine as a plain laptop, and there was no support for the tablet fcuntionality. After upgrading to 4.13.5-200, the laptop is no longer usable. - There appears to be support for setting the screen orientation based on the accelerometer. Unfortunately, the orientation is 90° out of sync. - The device is stuck in "tablet" mode, which means that the keyboard and mouse are disabled. The touch screen works and I can get an on-screen keyboard, but I'd like to use the actual keyboard. It looks like the screen orientation issue can be solved by a simple patch to the udev hwdb [1]. However, I'm less certain why the device thinks it's in tablet mode. In the kernel logs, I see: [ 8.875546] thinkpad_acpi: Tablet mode switch found (type: MHKG), currently in laptop mode ...which is exactly what I saw in previous kernels (and in any case would not seem to be the source of getting stuck in tablet mode). While it would be super awesome to have the laptop/tablet conversion working, I would prefer "just act like a laptop" over "just act like a tablet". Where should I be looking for clues?

You're welcome, Note that in older Samba servers, it may help add also the sec=ntlm option with 1.0 version, this way: sec=ntlm,vers=1.0 Note this is completly insecure, but some servers need it. I found it useful when connecting to an old SCO Unix OSE 5.0 with (its) oooold SAMBA (from Skunkware). Best,

cifs quits after kernel 4.13.5-100.fc25 update
by Robert McBroom 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

The following command was used to access Seagate "Goflex Home" home NAS. mount -t cifs '//192.168.1.66/External Storage' /mnt/external -o username=xx,password=yyy,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,domain=Seagategroup The error is 112 Host is down Access through dolphin or nautilus works but that is not equivalent to a mount. The NAS is seen by windows with no problem. The command works in CENTOS6. Is there something new that allows mounting file systems for full use as data files? Robert
