dillo's ssl support does not work with F26
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Dillo's ssl support seems to be broken in F26 (and has been since the day it was released). Here is what happens:
Go to https://www.nytimes.com/
The webpage says that Dillo's prototype plugin for https support is disabled.
I downloaded the src.rpm to see what the problem was with the .spec file and found that nothing has changed. Specifically, the following is there (as it was for the F25 spec):
%configure --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-ipv6 --enable-ssl
So, then I was wondering why this has stopped working with dillo with F26. Any ideas for a fix?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

installing updates not in the background on F26? reboot giving me a
15 min delay...
by Peter Teuben
I'm coming back to trying out Fedora, because so far I've not liked the new Gnome3 implementation in Ubuntu 17.10
Installed Fedora-26, which was fast and a snap... now doing the first reboot, since it wanted to install updates. I've been sitting here for literally 15 minutes watching a useless black screen... much like how windows does this.. Is that just an unhappy default, or required. In Ubuntu they are downloaded as you continue to work, you reboot, and that's usually quick, and you're back to work, usually that all takes a minute.
I jokingly thought in that time waiting for Fedora, I could have installed a whole new Ubuntu, and then some....
ok, up for hopefully a nice looking Gnome3 now!

Spamassassin and sa-update/sa-compile
by Jeffrey Ross
System is Fedora 26 and I'm using the spamassassin (and any support
applications) supplied with the distribution/repositories.
I have sa-update running from /etc/cron.daily using the supplied script
"/etc/cron.daily/sa-update.cron" which appears to be working as
expected. In an attempt to improve processing speed I installed re2c,
run sa-compile, and modified /etc/spamassassin/v320.pre to take
advantage of the compiled rules.
This all appears to be working as expected...except sa-compile needs to
be run whenever sa-update says there are new rules. I looked at the
sa-update.cron file and in big bold letters it says "*** DO NOT MODIFY
THIS FILE ***". I ignored the warning and expect my change to be
overridden at some point and added the following:
# sa-compile #
if [ -f /usr/bin/sa-compile ]; then
/usr/bin/sa-compile
fi
# sa-compile #
at line 71, immediately after the logging messages and right before the
script tests for and issues a restart via systemctl).
The questions I have are:
1) did I do a bad thing by ignoring the warning for the cron script?
2) did I modify the right file? or should I modify a template and move
it to the cron directory?
3) is this the best way to perform the sa-compile, if not what is the
preferred way?
Thanks, Jeff

ip forwarding/masquerading and dhcpd
by JD
Hi,
My em1 is config'ed as:
ifconfig em1 inet 10.10.10.1 up netmask 0xffffff00
The wifi is connected to and internet and working OK.
em1 is the lan.
I have the following /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file
DHCPDARGS=em1;
ddns-update-style interim;
subnet 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
broadcast-address 10.10.10.255;
clientsoption routers 10.10.10.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.10.10.1;
}
I execute:
sudo systemctl start dhcpd
and I see it is running:
ps -ef | grep dhcpd
dhcpd 24671 1 0 19:30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -f -cf
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -user dhcpd -group dhcpd --no-pid
However, the client, an old skype phone (from the days before MS bought
skype),
is unable to connect and obtain an ip addy.
I have ip forwarding enabled:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i wlp12s0 -o em1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED
-j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i em1 -o wlp12s0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED
-j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i em1 -o wlp12s0 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i wlp12s0 -o em1
-j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp12s0
-j MASQUERADE
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o em1 -j MASQUERADE
So, there must be a problem with the ip forwarding, and / or the
dhcpd.conf file ???

F26: wifi not working on hp af103ax
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I am trying to help a student get F26 installed on a HP AF103AX. The installation does not recognize the wifi card so I was wondering how I should troubleshoot it? Where do I find drivers for this if that is the issue?
Here are the specs:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04803103
He would like to wipe out the Windows partition and has only wireless at home so it is important for him to get this working.
Many thanks and best wishes,

Myself have two i686 machines running. One will be disposed of in the
next month or two. The second one is great for emergencies and as a
travel (where stupid spy/scan laws prevail) throw away computer.
If support is dropped, the second machine will survive on the latest
version that runs it until hardware is dead.
My choice is to see i686 to finally end.
On the other side of the coin, support for economies where used
computers are being used, as the cost of new hardware is beyond the
level of income for these locations. i686 is a way to provide a working
computer system without the extra costs. Support for many of these
machines may be necessary to provide a level of security.
BUT. How many of these places are actually running Linux at all? This
is a question to be asked. If the usage is small, then dropping support
may be an matter of economy of development resources.

how do I enable the telnet server?
by Christian Groessler
Hi,
on Fedora 24, I've installed the "telnet-server" with
# dnf install telnet-server
But, still, I cannot login. I'm getting "Connection refused". Seems that
it is not enabled.
What else do I need to do?

Strange login screen
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Here's a picture of my login screen. (Please excuse the Moiré bands;
it's an actual photograph.)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B96WA_V8sR9bRzFKc2RfS1NmTlU
It doesn't look anything like the images in
System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Login Screen
Note, in particular, the X-Windows style X shaped cursor.
It seems that part of a theme is missing; but I have no idea what it
could be.
Thanks - jon
