Hi All,

I have a web site that requires the flash plugin. Anyone
know how to get Flash to work in Brave? Pepper Flash?

qemu goes to 100%?
by Tom Horsley
Here's a weird one I just noticed: I've been using a
Windows 10 virtual machine to run my tax software.
I've got it displayed in virt-viewer and all is
well, then I close the virt-viewer window and
leave the KVM running. About 5 minutes later I
see a cpu suddenly pegged at 100%. I run top and see
that qemu is the culprit. I start virt-viewer
again, and it goes back to normal.
Anyone else seen this? Why would nobody looking at
it make it go crazy I wonder?

Need a statement on Fedora's purpose
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I just had a vendor tell me they do not support Fedora Server
because the the developers of Fedora had stated that it is not
a stable release and is used only as a testing ground for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). And as such, they only supported
RHEL and Cent OS.
Huh ??????
Fedora is more stable in my experience that RHEL ever was. When
I was running Scientific Linux (clone of RHEL of CentOS) I
almost went INSANE!
Is there a statement from the Fedora developers somewhere that
I could send this vendor to straighten him out?
Many thanks,

Remote Assistance
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I subscribe to Go To Assist, but they are dragging their ever
living feet on supporting Linux. (And I complain bitterly to
them about it on a frequently basis.)
Do you guys know of a remote assistance package that will
work on Fedora? The target customer will be logging into
hot spots, so there will be no port forwarding on routers
allowed.

upgrade f27 to f29 : repositories in archive, how to update
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! I am trying to upgrade my long overdue f27 to f29 (to prepare for
f30 :)) but i have problems with :
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'
I already updated my system by pointing the baseurls to the archive
but then if i try
dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=29
--setopt='module_platform_id=platform:f29'
i get this 'failed to synchronize' no matter what link i use ...
Is there a way to workaround this?
Thank you!

sane : how to remove old scanners ?
by sean darcy
On fedora 29 , sane-backends 1.0.27.
scanimage -L shows a number of scanners that are no longer connected,
and haven't been used in years.
In what file is this info stored ? Couldn't find any reference under
/etc/sane.d.
Is there a way to remove the old scanners from the command line ?

how to check for disk fragmentation?
by home user
Good evening,
I recall that a few years ago, I somehow checked my Fedora system for disk fragmentation. I also think the tool came with Fedora; i did not have to install it separately. Now, I don't recall the name of the tool that did that. Nor can I find any tool to do that. How do I check my F-28 system for disk fragmentation?
thanks,
Bill.

F30 and php 7.3
by sixpack13
Hallo
upgrade and running F30 without any trouble.
***a big thanks folks !!!***
one inconvenience:
I'm runnning baikal to sync calendars, etc. between thunderbird and my android smartphone.
=> http://sabre.io/baikal/
baikal currently doesn't support php 7.3.x (only 7.2.x) !
there are some info's in the wild that workaround's being in worked on (not tested so far: a VM with F29 serves my F30 Thunderbird since yesterday)
Questions, esp. to the php experts:
=========================
1. Is it feasibility to temporally "downgrade" ( e.g. F29 packages) to php 7.2 *without* breaking my really smooth running F30 ???
my box is a workstation running httpd only to sync between box/smartphone, so I guess nothing really special
2. any hints ?
