ssmtp
by François Patte
Bonjour,
Does somebody know how to configure the "TO" field in ssmtp?
In my configuration (I followed the examples given), when some app
(logwatch, mdadm, rkhunter...) send a mail, the FROM field is rewrited
with my name ans email address, but the TO field is
root@my-internet-provider.
How can I get the same as in the FROM field? ie.
root=me@my-internet-provider
Thank you.

info files index generation on fedora 30 - how does the 'dir' file
get generated?
by Ronaldo Mercado
Hi,
Yesterday I noticed that the info files from /usr/share/info/*.info.gz
on my fedora 30 pc were missing.
This was because emacs 'info' command reported
"emacs can't find the info directory node"
A while the /usr/share/info/dir file had been generated.
What generated the info directory file /usr/share/info/dir?
I think the packages in old versions of fedora had a %postinstall script
that called /sbin/install-info. Those scripts seem to be gone.
How does the /usr/share/info/dir generation work on fedora 30?
Thanks

sound device initialization?
by Tom Horsley
Lately when I install updates and reboot, I'll randomly
have no sound when I log back in. I'm supposed to get
sound output on my HDMI interface (being run by the
nvidia binary driver from rpmfusion).
If I run "gnome-control-center sound", it will show
as currently using a dummy device, and if I try to switch
to HDMI output (which is listed as a choice), it won't
allow me to test the audio out.
Rebooting and hoping I'll have sound when I come back
has been the only way I've found to fix this so far.
Anyone know if there is some way to re-initialize
audio devices less drastic than rebooting?

external USB drives
by Paolo Galtieri
Folks,
I recently purchased a 4TB external USB drive. I have purchased USB
drives in the past and have run dosfslabel to set the drive label. When
I tried this on F29 I get the following:
dosfslabel /dev/sdc2 NEW_LABEL
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
I have 2 8TB drives which I labeled some time ago without a problem, but
now I get the same error when I try to print out the drive label
dosfslabel /dev/sdd2
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
The new drive shows up on the desktop as:
"Seagate Expansion Drive"
I tried the same thing on F30 with the same result.
Can someone tell me what's going on?

No GTK3 dark mode theme for use under KDE plasma?
by Barry Scott
Thanks to the work of a number of helpful people I now know how to configure
KDE plasma to allow Firefox to work in dark mode and support the CSS prefers-color-scheme
feature.
In KDE Settings search for GTK. This brings up the GTK Application Appearance panel.
In here you can choose the GTK2 and GTK3 themes.
Adwaita-dark is available for GTK2 but there are no GTK3 dark themes listed.
I cannot find a GTK3 dark theme in the Fedora 30 repos.
I had to install a dark theme from the Choose Theme button - I use Mojave-dark.
Once I had done that Firefox come up in dark mode.
Am I correct in thinking that there are no packages with a dark theme for GTK3 apps?

Thinkfan
by Robert Moskowitz
Anyone have experience with this?
My new x140e's fan is running at 590rpm with the CPU/GPU temp at low 50s
C. I have a SSD, so drive temp is not much of an issue.
The fan is noisy. The old x120e ran at 450rpm with temp of 60s C and
was just fine.
I am going through the various docs and samples, but have yet to figure
out what to do. The fan variables for the x140 look to be the same as
the x120.
thanks for any help

Disable Caps Lock -
by Bob Goodwin
.
J am a poor typist and usually disable Caps Lock in a script with:
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=Shift_L'
That no longer works as it should in Fedora-30 for whatever reason, now
it just locks Caps Lock on and all I can get is caps unless I hold a
Shift key which is inconvenient to say the least ...
What can I use instead of "Shift_L" to make it simply do nothing?
