hybrid-sleep with Gnome
by Samuel Sieb 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

My laptop sometimes doesn't turn back on after suspending, so I've decided to try using hybrid-sleep instead. I modified logind.conf to contain the following two lines and restarted logind: HandleSuspendKey=hybrid-sleep HandlePowerKey=hybrid-sleep However, both keys still only cause a suspend. "systemctl hybrid-sleep" does work properly. I was going to ask if Gnome was intercepting the keys and doing its own thing with them, but then I remembered how to check. Sure enough, from "systemd-inhibit": Who: samuel (UID 1000/samuel, PID 1667/gsd-media-keys) What: handle-power-key:handle-suspend-key:handle-hibernate-key Why: GNOME handling keypresses Mode: block Does anyone know how to change Gnome's handling of the suspend key? It used to be possible, but they removed all those options. As much as I like Gnome, it does get a bit frustrating how much they are making it "our way is the only way"... I have filed a bug upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/97

Access to Android
by Patrick Dupre 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hello, I am not sure that I should post this message here. Is there an Android mailing list? I cannot access to my Android phone via the USB bus. Actually, I can see it: ls /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C007%5D but a touch provides me: '/var/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C007%5D/test': Permission denied How can I give the right to the internal folder of my Android? Thank. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

VNC alternatives
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

It seems Tiger-vncserver is broken WRT polkit for any spin other than gnome. Definitely not Xfce that I use. The work around is nasty: Connect via SSH and run vncserver from the command line. But probably can do it better via SCREEN and just forget about that screen session... So it is time to look at the alternatives. I know they are out there and have been talked about on this list, but my search foo is weak (as always). So can I have a bit of help in figuring out what to replace my decades-old connection to VNC? thanks

Adding and removing a user in F28
by Kevin Wilson 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hi, all. On F28, when I am running useradd test10 A new folder is generated: /home/test10/ But when I run: userdel test10 this folder remains. This same is when adduser test11 and them userdel test11 /home/test11 remains. Is this an expected behaviour ? Is there a way to cause the home folder of a user to be removed when removing a user ? Regards, KevinW

Trouble getting Ipsilon working
by Trever L. Adams 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

I have been watching ipsilon for a while now. I thought I might give it a try. Following the documentation on the project site I have done this: 1) Install ipsilon packages # dnf install ipsilon ipsilon-base ipsilon-openidc ipsilon-saml2 ipsilon-authgssapi ipsilon-authpam ipsilon-authform ipsilon-infosssd 2) Make necessary keytab using Samba as it will be the Kerberos and LDAP backend. kinit administrator@DOMAIN export KRB5_KTNAME=FILE:/etc/httpd/conf/http.keytab net ads keytab CREATE net ads keytab FLUSH net ads keytab ADD HTTP unset KRB5_KTNAME 3) Install Ipsilon ipsilon-server-install --gssapi=yes --pam=yes --openidc=yes --saml2=yes --admin-user administrator@REALM I cannot login as root, I cannot as the domain administrator or any other Samba known user. This is with gssapi or pam/form. Is there more documentation for this anywhere? Has anyone set this up to work with Samba or MS AD? Thank you for any help. Trever

somewhat offtopic
by bruce 02 Oct '18

Hi. Doing a test to install drupal8 on a fed/centos7 droplet (digitalocean). Since I'm not trying to get into sysAdmin stuff yet, I (perhaps stupidly) decided to disable systemd/selinux. (An article I'm following said this was ok). I'm now running into an issue where I get the following sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html/drupal/sites/ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘README.txt’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘default.services.yml’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘default.settings.php’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘settings.php’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘default’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘development.services.yml’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘example.settings.local.php’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘example.sites.php’ chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘/var/www/html/drupal/sites/’ Can I assume that this is due to selinux being disabled? And I can therefore skip this step in the process?? Once I actually get the app up/working with everything "disabled" I'll probably take a stab at getting things working with systemd/selinux fully enabled. thanks

ViewSonic VX2452MH resolution issue
by wgelpi＠redhat.com 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

I recently purchased a ViewSonic VX2452MH monitor. I have it set up as an external monitor for my Thinkpad T470S using Fedora 27. When the resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 the right side of the display gets "truncated". It' just about a 1/4" to 1/8" of the screen, but it's enough to be bothersome. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered a similar issue and if so what the resolution was. System details: Model: Thinkpad T470S Gnome: Version 3.26.2 Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)
