Odd problem with kmodtool
by alan＠clueserver.org
I have a relatively new Fedora 29 install. (I did a reinstall after
getting a couple of new SSDs for my laptop and changing over to a UEFI
boot.)
When I try using akmodbuild for any module, it claims that it cannot find
"/app/bin/kmodtool".
Why does it think I have a Mac?
I have grepped everything I can find and I have no idea where it is
getting that path. kmodtool is installed and it is in /usr/bin/.
Any ideas what is happening here?

F29 problems on Lenovo P50 laptop
by Tony Camuso
With F28 on my P50, I was able to detect a second display and
at least mirror the contents of the P50 on it. It was never able
to work as an extension to the P50 display, but I could live with
that.
Upon installing F29, however, the second display cannot even be
detected, so I only have the laptop display. That's not bad, unless
you've spent good money to have a nice large display, and even worse
if you need to give a presentation and mirror the display on another
display device.
Bluetooth does not work, either. The Bluetooth device connects for
a few seconds, and then disconnects. New attempts to connect to the
device return, "Connection Failed: Protocol not available."
These are pretty bad failures to have on an OS desktop, so I'm
somewhat surprised not to see them on the "Common F29 bugs" page.
I can't be the only one using F29 on a P50, so perhaps there are
BIOS or X settings that I need to implement.

cups browser interface changes?
by AV
Hello
Today I had to use "lpadmin -x" to remove a printer from cups.
Didn't there use to be a 'delete printer' option in the
'Administration' drop down menu.
It has been quite a few years since I last used cups.

Get rid of phantom touchpad clicks, once and for all
by Sam Varshavchik
Looks like, to my great dismay, the touchpad is once again helfully reacting
to taps as button clicks.
I forgot what I did, a very long time ago, to turn off this "helpful
feature" in the first place.
But, looks like after upgrading to F29, at least on the XFCE desktop the
phantom clicks from the touchpad are BACK once again. I am positive that
this is new to F29. Perhaps this used to be configurable in settings,
somewhere, but the support has been removed for some reason. I find nothing
promising in "Mouse and Touchpad" settings, now. Checked accessibility.
Nope. Can't think of any other place to check. Where, oh where, do I get rid
of this, once and for all?
I found some old stuff in Google for Fedora 20. Looks like it might still
work. I dropped the following into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-disable-taps-once-
and-for-eternity.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "tap-by-default"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "0"
EndSection
Crossing my fingers that this works. So far, intentional double-taps no
longer appear to elicit a response, so I'm optimistic.
Still, why did this harassment start back up again, in F29? I really don't
want to remember to do this manual hack again, if I ever install Fedora on a
new laptop.

persistant soundcard image on desktop. Fedora 29
by Richard Dawson
Intermittently an image, approximately 1.5"x1.5" appears in the center of the desktop, covering whatever application is running. The image contains a "sketch" of (presumably) a sound card and a label "Built In analog digital stereo ( IEC958)". Sometimes the image stays on the screen for extended periods of time, and sometimes it seems to appear and then disappear. (It of course stays there for a long time when I am trying to see what is under it in the application.) This is a deal breaker!

luks root partition and grub opens it using usb - how to?
by lejeczek
hi guys
I wonder if it is possible to have a passphrase to the root
partition on a usb/sd and tell the grub to check and use it
and if that fails then fall back to user providing the
passphrase, as normally by the means of keyboard.
Would you know if that works and if there is any doc/manual
for it?
many thanks, L.

Not sure where to look for this. It's probably been around for a while

ssh between el7 and fc28 boxes
by John Pilkington
Hi: I have two boxes connected to the same router. One runs SL7.5,
from tomorrow probably SL7.6, which is an el7 clone, and the other runs
Fedora 28.
I can ssh and rsync from F28 to SL7, but permission is denied in the
opposite direction. Port 22 is open. I now have copies of both
versions of /etc/sshd and intend to examine diffs.
Google provides many links but nothing that looks authoritative or,
preferably, authoritative and simple. Any help wpuld be appreciated.

kernel 4.19.5 crashes in Xen DomU
by Markus Schönhaber
Hi,
I'm running Fedora 28 in a Xen DomU on a Debian Stretch Dom0. This used
to work fine but kernel 4.19.5 crashes on boot (see console output
below) - 4.19.4 and earlier don't show any problems.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a workaround?
Regards
mks
