Usage of PageUp/Page Down Key in gnome-terminal
by Joachim Backes
Hi guys,
I'm running F26/x86_64 and having the following problem: In earlier
Fedora Versions, I could use PageUP or PageDown key to scroll through
the gnome-terminal output (or I could use the mouse wheel for doing the
same). But in F26, nothings happens if I use these keys or the mouse
wheel! Anybody knows whether this feature has been been abolished in F26?
Kind regards
Joachim Backes

Unfortunately this is not as straightforward as it could be.
Checking how Archlinux does it now, they probably go without denyhosts.
There is a also a tool sshguard [1], which does quite much the same as
fail2ban using configurable backend (firewalld, iptables, ...).
The denyhosts got last update also 10 years ago [2] and we already have
quite much 2 alternatives that can do the same using firewalls, so it
might be also a time to go for denyhosts. Or not, but clearly document
that OpenSSH will not be using hosts.deny anymore.

That would be great if you could review the dependencies if it is used
and drop the bogus dependencies.

OS for Thinkpad T42??
by Beartooth
Some years ago, I bought an
IBM-refurbished Thinkpad T42, meaning to
devote it to use with a Garmin UPS, under
Linux of course. It turned out not to be
suitable for that.
I put it into the guest room, where
it also got little or no use. Until last
week, it still had Fedora 22. I've been
trying for days to get F26, or 25, or even
24 onto it.
It demanded an i386, 32-bit .iso;
and I did finally manage, after a lot of
grief, to get it to seem to finish an
installation. Upon rebooting, it says only
that it can't boot what it has!
As a last resort, I've been looking
for a Puppy Linux version. The download
page offers versions for Ubuntu (which
affects me like sand in the teeth),
Slackware (which I've never even seen
running), and M$. Oh, and also for the
eeePC.
Is there hope??

For the t42 you need to tweak one kernel parameter.
T42-CPU does not support pae-extension.
Somewhere down the kernel-line they changed the default setting. From default to 'required', thus very old cpu's won't boot anymore, unless you drop this requirement.

F26 OpenVpn at boot
by mark2015@openmailbox.org
I've just set up an openvpn connection on a Fedora 26 desktop. But I can't find/remember how to set it so that it's activated when the wired connection is activated and if openvpn fails the also the wired connection is taken down. In previous Fedora versions wasn't there a legacy network connection GUI that had this option? How is it done nowadays?

rpmbuild --rebuiild with config options
by Amadeus W.M.
I'm trying to put together a minimal emacs rpm and I'm trying this, with
the ensuing error:
rpmbuild --rebuild emacs-25.2-3.fc25.src.rpm --without-all
rpmbuild: --without-all: unknown option
I untarred the emacs source code and ran ./configure --help and --without-
all is an option. I tried a few other config options - rpmbuild doesn't
seem to recognize any of them.
In the past I used
rpmbuild --rebuild system-config-network-*.src.rpm --with gui
and it worked. What am I doing wrong now?
Thanks!

Bluetooth Audio segfaults
by Florian Sievert
Hi there,
I reported a few weeks ago an issue I observed when trying to pair and
use a bluetooth audio speaker to a Fedora26 system. The issue was
reported at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1469961
However so far there had not been any reaction. The issue was observed
from multiple users I know and had been reproduced with different audio
speakers. So my assumption currently is that the bluetooth audio is
completely broken under Fedora 26. Can anyone confirm this issue or at
least confirm that it is working for him? As this is an issue that not
allow to use existing hardware correctly, I would appreciate if anyone
having ideas to possibly working arround the segfaults.
I am looking forward for any suggestions :)
Best regards,
Florian

tcp_wrappers deprecation
by Jakub Jelen
Hello Fedora devels and users,
more than three years ago, the same topic started discussion if we want
this package in Fedora or not and how [1]. The discussion resulted
mostly in flames and in the removal of the dependency on tcp_wrappers
from systemd. But it was quite agreed that it is considered as a
security layer for some users, if they use it correctly, or something
that is or should be replaced by firewalls.
So can we discuss it now once more without the affiliation to systemd?
The fact is that we still do not have any other replacement except
firewalls. But do we need one?
The complete removal of the package is probably not a wise step, even
though we can not find tcp_wrappers in recent SuSE anymore [2]. It is
still available in Arch [3] without other tools depending on it. To be
fair, Debian [4] is still building tools (for example openssh) with a
build-time support for it.
My primary concern is OpenSSH, which upstream dropped support for
tcp_wrappers three years ago (late 2014) [5] and since then we are
maintaining one more downstream patch. But this effort should be
coordinated among other components to simplify the transition for users
who insist on using it (using tcpd).
Removing the dependency will also allow us to trim the default
install for few more Kb.
If there will be no significant drawbacks, I will progress with filling
a system wide change for Fedora 28 and I will pull the maintainers of
other tolls using libwrap into the round and discussion.

Fedora 26 server installation
by isdtor
I'm trying to kickstart a Fedora 26 server from a local repo. What is the magic sauce to force installation from local repo only?
The PXE file points inst.stage2 to the local repo and sets inst.geoloc=0, yet after "Starting automated install", download of repodata/* files, there is no more access to the local repo. I'm logging https requests to servers like 67.219.144.68, proxy06.fedoraproject.org, vm3.fedora.ibiblio.org etc. instead.
