[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

This list's search engine not working?
by HaJo Schatz 22 May '24

22 May '24

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0 results. Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by author, I do find my posts. OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the same issue when searching for given topics. Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably? Google shows 0 hits on a "site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" search... -- HaJo Schatz <hajo(a)hajo.net> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?

The (bad) state of Qt on GNOME / Wayland
by mario futire 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I am developing a Qt app in Fedora 31 using the default GNOME wayland session and I am very sorry to see the state of Qt in this configuration. 1) qt creator crashes often (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773356) the crash report tool does not seem to help 2) drag & drop does not work in Qt creator (and in no other Qt app) (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774762 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80303) 3) main window geometry cannot be restored when the application restarts (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80612) I think GNOME / Wayland / Qt it is just not ready and should not be offered as the default desktop session for Fedora. If I force Qt to use X11 emulations, things are much better. Probably Qt is responsible (but in the bug reports someone says that KDE / Wayland works well), and GNOME is not Qt, but there are so many Qt apps, that sending new users to a non working environment re-enforces the fact that "just works" is not true in Linux.

how to install zoom client.
by home user 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Good morning, (f-29) (background) Last week, I was to participate in a "Zoom" meeting for a charity that I'm involved in. I have the needed software on my rarely-used windows-7 box. But I could not complete the windows-7 login (some problem with a windows-7 service). I've since found there is a "Zoom" client for Fedora. "dnfdragora" does not find anything for it. But I found a web page that I hope has what I need. I've downloaded the package ("zoom_x86_64.rpm"), and I've downloaded a "Public Key" ("package-signing-key.pub"). The web site from which I've downloaded these also has a line: Key fingerprint: [some 40 hex digit number] (4 questions) 1. Do the 2 files need to be in a specific place to do the install? If yes, where? 2. Do I need to be "root" to do the install? 3. What do I do with the "Key fingerprint"? 4. How do I do the install (preferably using "dnf")? thanks, Bill.

VideoConference Package?
by John Mellor 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

In this extended period of Covid-19 isolation, is there a videoconference package available? Hosted systems like Zoom are not opensource, do not use a browser as a client, feed connection data to Facebook, only allow 2 participants for free, and not available for a local install. I thought of Webex, but its Cisco. Maybe its just me :-) I took a quick look at Jitsi, but users say it has a fatal extreme processor utilization bug, the rpm packages are 3 years out-of-date, and does not seem to be present in the normal rpm repos. I also took a quick look at BigBlueButtion, which looks pretty good. However, it only runs on an ancient version of Ubuntu, and uses a shell installer for some unknown reason. This seems like a major application type that appears to be completely missing from the repos. Is anyone building one, and just hasn't announced it yet?

Is an encrypted Fedora Live CD possible?
by Earl Terwilliger 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi, I've managed to use the kickstart files to create a Fedora 31 KDE live CD without any problems. Actually I have a simple python script which conglomerates all the KS files together to make it easier to deal with. Then I customize it and have it copy some files into the /var/www/html directory. I am now trying to see what is necessary to have it encrypted (with Luks) so it prompts for the password at boot time. part /boot --size=512 --fstype=ext4 part / --encrypted --cipher=aes-xts-plain64 --size=8200 --fstype=ext4 Those commands don't seem to make it encrypted.. Is encryption ignored for the livecd? Am I not doing something correctly, or is this not possible? Thanks, Earl

System becomes unusable when copying a large file via USB into HDD
by Sreyan Chakravarty 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

I have just installed the latest version of Fedora Gnome on my HP laptop. I had to import a 50 GB OVA file from my USB HDD to my hard drive via USB 3.0. When the copying was taking place through VirtualBox, the system hung almost completely, I was not able to even move my mouse. Why does this happen ? Reading this: https://askubuntu.com/q/397249/628460 It seems to be the case for Debian based OSes, but then why is it happening in Fedora ? I just formatted from Windows 10, and while I hate a lot of things about it, it never made the system unusable during heavy I/O operations. I had multiple tabs in Chrome open without any lag whatsoever. I say this, not to criticize Fedora but to point out this should be the case in modern OSes. So why am I facing this issue? Let me know what you think and if any further information is needed. Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty

sudo related
by David 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

To the few of you who recommended that I do a reinstall, to fix my sudo problem, I just wanted you to know that the marvelous Fedora self-healed itself. I assume something in systemd update yesterday, or kernel rc7, fixed the issue that I was having. Anyways, yesterday's update of systemd and kernel rc7 and the other stuff that tagged along for the ride, seem to work fine on my install. I wish people would stop telling me to use Rawhide, and instead teach me tiny things that my brain might be able to understand. I am 100% certain that I have the lowest IQ of anybody using a developmental version of a Linux distro. But the perk to that, is that I might notice something that the programmers don't see. On the virus-front, things are looking bleak over hear in near Houston, Texas, USA. Not only do we have to worry about the virus, but now we have looters, and thieves and the normal crime is now elevated because the government released hardened criminals onto the streets when there is no employment. Everybody here is polishing their guns. Booze or liquor are still selling because people are short-sighted and think this is only going to last two weeks. There are still people here who think it is a politically motivated event. The government is sending out retarded messages - Beaches are free, go to the beach, breath, Beaches are closed, violators will be sent to jail, so they can make room for the hardened criminals to be set free. Pinch me, I must be dreaming. David Locklear

Samba with external usb drive -
by Bob Goodwin 29 Mar '20

29 Mar '20

I have been trying to configure an asus RT-N66U router to work with a USB external hard drive using the asus software. I can see the external drive in the router setup GUI but it never shows up in the computer network browser. I thought perhaps it needed Samba installed in Fedora 31? Did that with dnf but it looks like I created an smb server, I think that is already part of the router? I set up a router and USB drive in the past with an older version of Fedora and it just worked, not so now. I would like to have another way to save stuff on my LAN that will be convenient for the Apple users and me to use. I guess I am looking for some help from anyone familiar with this. Perhaps I should just buy aWD NAS unit? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, Fedora Linux-31 XFCE

Does Fedora Community have a novice listserve ?
by David 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

I have tried hanging out on the test-listserve, and here on the user-listserve, but neither suit my needs. Although, I enjoy tinkering and living in Rawhide, I am a computer novice, and do not code, or muck around with complex issues discussed on the user forum. On a different note, I have chosen not yet to reinstall Rawhide, for now, because I can still login as superuser and update my install. The only thing that I seem to have broken was the sudo privilege. I am unemployed now, and probably for a long time. If I had some money, to pay the bills and not worry, I could spend some leisure time learning about things like nano, and kate, and more Linux commands, and bash, and gcc and clang, and rust and qt and perl and python, etc. But I just do not sense that my brain or IQ has the capacity to learn such things. I must go find a job, but how when so much is closed and lines of people are applying for temporary jobs at places that are still open for inside-business ?? For what it is worth ( at least to me ), I have been living in Rawhide as my only operating system since June of 2018, although I have reinstalled it several times and did probably tinker around briefly with some other distros, that I have laying around on some spare SSDs. Today's update brought in a new point-release to thunar. Whoopee !! and some other various things, like plymouth, which I guess I use nearly every day, since I reboot several times per day. I am typing this message after the update, using ethernet connection. David Locklear P.S. I am now in Montgomery County, Texas, USA, and today the gov't warned looters, and miscreants that their punishment would be twice as long as they think it will be. Police are strictly enforcing laws and confiscating driver's automobiles who are out stirring up trouble. I need a bumper-sticker on my car that says, transporting Linux equipment, or something essential. LOL !

I usually select standard partitions when installing to avoid this sort on confusion, I don't know why I have this one lvm system but it is there and it still boots if I want it, however it would be convenient to be able to see the file directly without shutting down and booting the other system from the boot menu. I have mounted /dev/sda2 at /media/test and done lvscan and found that I can do: [root@Workstation-1 bobg]# ls -al /dev/fedora_localhost-live/home lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 26 05:16 /dev/fedora_localhost-live/home -> ../dm-1 but I don't know how to list "home" on the lvm, is it possible and how?

New Laptop - Graphics Card choices - suggestions?
by S.Bob 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

All; I've found that my current laptop in no way supports a 3rd monitor. So I am going to upgrade to a Lenovo P73 Mobile Workstation, the graphic card options are: NVIDIA® Quadro® P620 4GB NVIDIA® Quadro® T2000 4GB NVIDIA® Quadro® RTX3000 6GB Do these cards work well with Linux / Fedora? Any reason I would want anything beyond the P620? I do mostly text based work via ssh but I also do a fair bit of photography image post processing with tools like gimp, rawtherapee and darktable Thoughts? Thanks in advance -- `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*".' (By Linus Torvalds)

ssh question
by bruce 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Hey. My apologies. I now I've asked this/solved this before. can't findwhere I placed the soln. I have a remote VM. I've created a private/public ssh key for user 'bob' The public key is in the required location on the remote VM. On my normal local box,, logged in as user 'bob' I have the private key. I can login as user bob - ssh bob@remoteServer1 this works, no prob. My question If I'm on user "linda"s machine, logged in as linda, what do I need to do to be able to ssh into the remote server as user 'bob'?? Do I place the private key of user 'bob' in the required ssh file within user linda's ssh dir? Which implies that I then need to remove the private key once I leave if I don't want linda accessing the remote box later on.. thanks

nvidia and zoom problem?
by George Avrunin 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Like many universities, we are converting to working from home and doing only online instruction as of Monday. (This week is spring break and faculty get to use it to figure out how to make the online instruction work.) The campus has a Zoom license and we are urged to use that for class sessions. I've run into a problem and tried the fix suggested by Zoom support, but it's not working and I'm hoping someone here can help me. Trying to interact with Zoom support gets a "we're too busy right now" message.... The problem is sharing a window/screen (desktop). I can share from my Fedora desktop, but when I stop the sharing Zoom crashes (or, in some configurations--see below--sharing a window/screen just blacks out the window/screen being shared). Zoom support indicates that this is mostly a problem with something automatically switching from the nvidia card to a built-in card and suggests running xcompmgr -c -l0 -t0 -r0 -o.00 With the nvidia driver, this seems to have little or no effect. It does seem to work with nouveau, but I'm getting an annoying flashing of (at least some windows on) the screen with nouveau (and I'm losing some performance that I'd like to keep for other purposes). Here are the details: My home machine is running Fedora 31, fully updated, on a Dell Precision T1700 with 32 GB of memory. I have an nvidia card and run the nvidia driver from negativo-17 (for performance with darktable...). I use KDE, and Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor is not set to enable the compositor on startup. The backend Renderer is set to OpenGL 3.1, but I've had the same problem with OpenGL 2.0 (though it did seem to work once with 2.0; nothing like intermittent buggy behavior...). I did try logging in with Gnome and still had the problem of stopping Zoom screen sharing causing Zoom to crash. When I run the xcompmgr command before starting Zoom, I'm getting the following kind of message in the konsole I ran it from when Zoom crashes: error 138: BadRegion request 137 minor 14 serial 63627 error 138: BadRegion request 137 minor 14 serial 63635 The "BIOS Setup" at startup does have a video option. It has 3 choices for "Primary Display": AUTO, INTEL HD Graphics, and NVIDIA HD Graphics, and it says that when "Auto" is not selected, the onboard graphics device will be present and enabled. I tried resetting this from Auto to Intel, and got very slightly different behavior (sharing a konsole window blacked out the window on my desktop and the meeting participants screens, and quitting sharing crashed Zoom on the desktop). So I put it back to Auto. I then tried disabling the nvidia driver. I blacklisted it (and the associated modules in a file in /etc/modprobe.d) and changed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to list "nouveau" as the driver for Device 0. (When I rebooted, lsmod doesn't show any nvidia stuff, and does have nouveau, so I think this worked). With that, I'm getting some annoying screen flashing (notably in claws-mail) and sharing a window blacks out the window , but then running the xcompmgr command unblacks it and stopping sharing doesn't seem to kill Zoom. Between the screen flashing with nouveau and wanting the performance of the nvidia driver for other things, I'd like to make this work with the nvidia driver.

It doesn't have this problem (but I hope not to have to use it for online teaching; the screen is too small and it's one of the ones with the webcam at the bottom of the screen, so if you can reach the keyboard to type, the camera is looking up your nose). Thanks for any suggestions you can give me. George

VPN connection (XAUTH/IKEv1) does not work
by Bogdan Vatulya 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Good day. I have an issue that spans both, Fedora 31 and Fedora 32. I have installed NetworkManager-libreswan-gnome package to get IPsec XAUTH working (with PSK). When I connect, I see no errors and NetworkManager applet reports that connection is established. Yet I have no internet connection after VPN connection is allegedly established and I cannot access any resources on the network behind gateway. I have an Android 9 phone with XAUTH VPN and the same settings I have on my Fedora workstation and I have an internet and I can access resources behind the gateway. What should I do to get VPN working?

Linux USB monitor? Or an HDMI Splitter - looking for options for a second external monitor
by S.Bob 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

All; I recently updated my laptop to this: ASUS VivoBook Pro 17 N705FD (https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-VivoBook-Pro-17-N705FD/) Unfortunately the usb-c port on this laptop does not support a monitor. It does have an HDMI port so I can add a second monitor but I want 2 external monitors. Does Fedora 31 support any USB monitors? Will a USB->HDMI adapter work? Any other valid options? Thanks in advance -- `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*".' (By Linus Torvalds)

bootable live system ??
by bruce 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi. Looking at a process for digitalocean to repartition a VM. The docs I'm looking at discuss the process for debian. Anyone have steps/docs for doing this with centos/fedora? In particular, the docs I'm looking at require the grml-rescueboot, and the grml.iso which in the site/url are debian related. Are there similar centos/fed items?? The url I'm looking at: https://www.ismay.ca/2015/10/repartition-a-debian-digital-ocean-droplet/ thanks for any help! package, then download the grml iso to /boot/grml/ with wget:

/usr/ permissions ??
by David 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

I logged in as root just for the fun of it to mess around with my permission settings in the /usr/ directory not having any idea what the heck I was doing. I am the only user of the computer ( so I am the admin ). But now, I get a sudo error message when logged in the normal way as admin or sole user. * sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set* What do I need to do to fix that ?

problem setting the PATH variable.
by Angelo Moreschini 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

hi I have a strange problem ... On my computer "maven" (an IDE for developent in java language) is installed in the directory: "/ opt / netbeans / java / maven / bin / mvn". And I can run it (maven) by giving its full path from the command line. I wanted to modify the PATH variable to use the simple name of the program "mvn". I did it and actually I get this output for the command : ------- angelo_dev @ pluto: echo $ PATH: / Usr / share / Modules / bin: / usr / local / bin: / usr / local / sbin: / usr / bin: / usr / sbin: / opt / netbeans / java / maven / bin / mvn. ------- However when I use of the mvn command (without specifying its complete value) it does not work, I get this output; ------- angelo_dev @ pluto: ~ $ mvn bash: mvn: command not found ... Install package 'maven' to provide command 'mvn'? [N / y] -------- I cannot understand... Can anyone help me understand this problem Thanks Angelo.

I can create a test website, running centos/apache: http://1.2.3.4/cat.php i'm trying to get to http://test.com/cat.php where I use something like cloudflare to implement the domain/url/DNS process.

OT: delaying postfix until/unless VPN is up/connected
by Ranjan Maitra 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Dear friends, I am using postfix to deliver my work mail from a remote location. This works fine when I am on VPN (the postfix traffic goes through VPN then). However, it gets identified as spam when VPN is not up. Since most people do not routinely check their spam folders especially when the e-mail is not expected from a recipient, this presents a problem. So, I am wondering if I could please set up my services for postfix to be delayed unless/until VPN is up and running. If so, how do I go about doing this? I am running a fully updated F31 but this is likely really a OT question. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate. For those needing to send personal or professional e-mail, please use appropriate addresses.

Jabber client for Fedora30
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

This week is IETF107, but no in-person meeting only virtual. So for the first time I would benefit from a Jabber client on my Fedora30 system (Webex on Fedora is pretty bad, I will probably have to use my Win10 system for the video). I see that there is pidgen, but what else? The Jabber for IETF announce is found at: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/107all/sb8GQn0x4p4_MmvSCzJ_qWtZE78/ Thanks!

Xfce Rawhide related
by David 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

This is a personal usage report. This is my first post here, although I have been regularly posting on the test listserve for about a month. Mr. Ed Greshko and others on that list recommended I post my rants here. I use Rawhide in the real world on hardware as my only operating system. My motto is, "Live in Rawhide, Live on the Edge." For the past month, Xfce has been my only weapon of choice, and I just last night learned how to install the whisker menu. I own a one-person business, driving a car about 300 miles per day in awful congested city traffic delivering documents. ( Until about 6 days ago, as I have been unemployed due to the hysteria or concern of the COVID-19 paranoia ). I use my computer only for household things, like surfing the web, sending email, watching YouTube. My computer is a ASUS mini-ITX about 5 years old with Intel i5-3470 and 16 GB of DDR3 at around 1,000 MHz. I should have a slightly better computer in a month or so. Anyways, I update my Rawhide install everyday. My non-Xfce software is currently all flatpaks. I did my install with an iso on the Fedora Nightly Compose Finder page, back around January 24th, ( I think ). And it has performed well, ever since. I do have an issue with wi-fi due to my Broadcom on my motherboard. I just have not had an opportunity to look into it, as I have a nice ethernet connection at around 100 Mbps. There was no update today, except to my flatpaks. Normally there is a large update on almost a weekly basis, but that might be postponed due to the displaced volunteers, and Fedorans who normally do all that dedicated work. I live near Arcola, Texas USA. I have 3 years of Linux experience, but only at the novice level doing household average stuff, like play Gnome games. Here is a screenshot showing my custom background, the whisker icon, and a terminal window with some stats: https://www.dropbox.com/s/46skvbon2n8d1zd/Xfce_Rawhide_March_2020.png?dl=0 Thank you, and good day.

VM layout -- thoughts/comments?
by bruce 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hi. In looking to setup a test digitalocean VM, I'm interested in thoughts/pointers to how to setup the layout/partition for the VM Should diff dirs have their own volume? IE, some articles I've seen say that /, /home, /boot, and swap. are more or less the default dirs created when installing Centos. I'm trying to understand what the "accepted" dir structure would be/should be for a test server that's used to be an apache webserver. I'm also trying to figure out the cmds required to ensure the initial harddrive is properly set up. Pointers for me to take a look at are appreciated. thanks You can also create additional partitions and vol

System Cloning
by Robert McBroom 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Cloning Fedora 31 on different computer. Fixed the UUID entries in /etc/fstab, /etc/grub2.cfg, /boot/grub2/grubenv, but attempting to start finds an entry for the original / UUID and drops into dracut. dracut seems to implicate initramfs as the location of the legacy UUID and says regenerate it. I can use a live system to chroot to the new filesystem and do any necessary edits. Is there a way to edit or regenerate initramfs?

selinux/ssh -- basic question
by bruce 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Hi. Stepping into centos 7 -- selinux... I've got a basic question for ssh. Creating a new/base VM- digitalocean. I create the VM via the DO website, get a test IP Address 1.2.3.4 (I'm running on a local linux/centos) with a test user "fooUser" the VM creation process creates the root user with the rootPasswd from the local linux (user fooUser), I log into/ssh the remote VM: ssh root(a)1.2.3.4 I get into the remote server as "root" My question, on the remote VM, I want to create a user "bob". I also want to modify the remote to ssh into the VM as bob, using sshkeys do I have to have a local user on my local linux as "bob".. pretty sure I don't! but I'm not sure where the local ssh key should be placed, to allow me to ssh into the remote using the key. Also, how doe this process work when accessing the remote from other local servers.. I'm assuming, I have to copy the key/files to any box I want to access the remote VM from. I'm missing something subtle here.. thanks!! b safe out there

Login screen related
by David 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Check out this backsplash on my login screen https://www.dropbox.com/s/wwy0qzey0vl4fjq/Davids_fancy_Log-in.jpg?dl=0 I wish all Linux desktop distros had more options for theming the login screen. I am using Xfce ( in Rawhide ), and assume the procedure is the same in other desktop environments. The trick ( I think ) is that you have to have root access to change the image /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png I copied my new image ( mountain-valley.png ) next to "default.png" in that same folder. It MUST be a "png" Then renamed "default.png" to "defaultx.png" and then renamed my new image "default.png.". Logged out and it was there. D.L.

F31: recommended best way to send postfix traffic through Cisco's AnyConnect VPN
by Ranjan Maitra 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

Hi, I am on a fully updated F31 and I would like my traffic (especially postfix) to go through Cisco's AnyConnect VPN when that is up. (I am reduced to having to use this proprietary software because of 2-factor authentication required for VPN at my institution.) Anyway, I came across the following 7-year old example: http://tim.rideyourbike.org/2013/02/force-traffic-through-your-cisco.html and the following 4-year old example: https://sweetcode.io/routing-all-traffic-through-a-vpn-gateway-on-linux/ But I was wondering if there is a better option. Alternatively, or perhaps what will meet my needs, is it possible to have the at least postfix traffic go through VPN? If so, how do I do this.

What is package Fedora-release and Fedora-release common ?
by David 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

What is package "Fedora-release" and "Fedora-release common" ? And what typically changes when their is a point release like the one today in Version 33. ( 33.0.2, for example from 33.0.1 ) See Below: ............................................................................................................. Changelog: * Wed Mar 18 2020 Peter Robinson <pbrobinson(a)fedoraproject.org> 33-0.2 - Add IoT provisioning URL config - Enable fstrim.timer (crobinso) - Enable kata-osbuilder-generate.service (crobinso) .............................................................................................................. By the way, my install of Xfce ( Rawhide ) had a nice update today. I doubt any other Xfce distros have had as much updating in the past month as my install has had. Lots of mesa, and samba related stuff. I do not know if Version 32 gets the same versions of those packages. One of the things that I hope to learn in my quest to understand Rawhide, is during the branching off process, which files and packages start to really be significantly different, between Version 32 and Version 33, over the coming months. Obviously, none that would probably affect the way I use my computer, but I want to understand it better. David Locklear P.S. COVID-19 is starting to look far worse than the flu over here in the southeast portion of the state of Texas, USA. Most public business are closed. Pizza places and donut shops are making millions of dollars in increased sales. Unemployed people have taken temporary jobs delivering food. Businesses that previously did well with take-out food, such as SUBWAY Sandwich Shop, are still doing as good or better. Places that had popular drive-throughs like Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks are raking in the money. I see a movie-plot of secret capitalist-conspiracy unfolding. Meanwhile, I am on Day # 7 or 8 of being unemployed. Ironically, nobody in my state has had the flu in the past two months. And nobody has really died of pneumonia either, as they label all deaths now as COVID-19.

rescue mode needs rescuing!
by home user 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

(stand-alone home workstation; f30; Gnome) Well, as I noted when I closed the "prep. for upgrade." thread, I'm getting hints of hardware trouble. I thought I'd start by testing memory (memtester). My understanding is that it's best to do that with as little else as possible running. So I re-booted. In the grub menu, I chose the line "Fedora (0-rescue-[32 hex digits]) 30 (Thirty)" which is the 4th line in my grub menu. A thick line of various shades of a bluish color appeared at the bottom of the screen, with "Fedora 19" at the right end. The line turned white starting from the left end, working slowly towards the right. Then in the middle of the screen, the message "NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau" appeared. Nothing else happened for over 5 minutes, at which point I did a manual hard reset. 1. The grub menu entry and the boot progress line contradict each other. 2. The rescue mode fails to completely boot. My preference is for the rescue mode to use the most recent release practical up to and including f30 (not 31!). I do now have Fedora live on a USB stick, but as I noted (in different words) when I closed the "prep. for upgrade" thread, it's glitchy. So I'd like to have this second fall-back. How do I rescue the rescue mode?

pushing local CA on several fedora machines

Hi! I'm using pfsense as my firewall and using it as a loca Certificate Authority for my servers. I was wondering if it was possible either through pfsense or through another magical way to push that local CA rather than having to run update-ca-trust on each machine? Thank you. Fred

I can not find anything our there on how to use curl with gmail and OAuth2. I did figure out how to get my token: First, you must obtain your Client ID and Client Secret by using a browser.

And independently save these values as well The script will then take you to a browser page where you will sign into your google account to receive your authorization code, which you save Also note that you have to tell gmail that the suspecious activity is you. gmail will send you a letter with a link to follow client_id="aaaa" # from the web page client_secret="bbb" # also from the web page scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive" endpoint="https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"=code&scope=$scope%access_type=offline&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob" url="$endpoint?client_id=$client_id&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=$scope&response_type=code" This is what I have so far $ cat mail.txt | curl -vvv smtp://smtp.gmail.com:465 --mail-from "xxxx(a)gmail.com" --mail-rcpt "yyyy(a)zoho.com" --ssl -u xxxx(a)gmail.com:'zzzz' -oauth2-bearer 'big long thing' % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0* Trying 74.125.142.109:465... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to smtp.gmail.com (74.125.142.109) port 465 (#0) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:09 --:--:-- 0* response reading failed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:10 --:--:-- 0 * Closing connection 0 curl: (56) response reading failed * Trying 0.0.0.4:80... * TCP_NODELAY set <hangs for about five minutes> * connect to 0.0.0.4 port 80 failed: Connection timed out * Failed to connect to 4 port 80: Connection timed out * Closing connection 1 curl: (7) Failed to connect to 4 port 80: Connection timed out

OT?? : Xscreensaver: Is it me??
by Beartooth 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

On a Lenovo Thinkpad running F31 Mate, fully updated, I'm presently running the Binary Ring screensaver. It works fine; this is just a question, not a problem. Whenever that screensaver begins to move toward a change, I see or think I see images inside the ring. Most of them look vaguely Indian or Maya, and seem to include human or at least bipedal figures. A few look more like totem poles. And once in a great while something utterly different, like a cartoon character, seems to be there. All of them are very much obscured by the radial lines in the screensaver, and partly also by the darkening inside the ring. But I'm pretty sure they're really there (not like the poetic little man upon the stair). What are they? Is there a setting for that screensaver that makes them more apparent? Is there any info about them anywhere? I looked on jwz.org, but didn't see a link from which to ask such a question as this. I'm betting there's interest here, too. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is

a personal "user" report - Xfce
by David 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

I am a Fedora user. I like to share my experience with Fedora with other computer users in the world outside of Fedora, but they ridicule and berate me ( even Linux users ), for not using their so-called "normal operating system." So I turn to my potential friends in the Fedora community for moral support. Thank you all for the warm welcome. I use Rawhide, and lately I use Xfce, but I prefer Gnome, and Plasma ( actually have never tried Plasma in Fedora, but it is on my bucket list ) The benefit to using Xfce on Rawhide, is that you get a stable desktop environment, that very rarely changes, but you get to test Fedora's latest version of system components like systemd 245 and kernel 5.6.0-rc5. It just may be, that I am the only person on Earth ( besides the maintainer of Xfce in Fedora ??, whoever that is ), that is interested in this topic. Today's fine update, brought the latest anaconda packages, dracut, firefox, glibc, perl-(numerous packages ), inxi ( which I use regularly ), info, iwl####-firmware, kbd, linux-firmware, pcre2, vim, webkit, python3-cssselect2, shadow-utils, set-troubleshoot-plugins and most of all the initial pieces of kernel rc6, and wine 5.4.1 That update went smoothly, as has most of my past 90 Rawhide updates. I assume that if I were running the pre-Beta of Version 32, that I would get almost similar packages, but just with the fc32 suffix instead of the fc33. I do plan to have an install of Fedora 32 on hardware, but the COVID-19 hysteria has turned my world upside-down. One thing a Rawhide user can do to minimise the risk, is to install the update for each package separately. But I need to learn more about that, before telling people that is the way to do it. Another tip, I have heard is to not do the update from a graphical environment, but instead through the tty. I have not found that to be necessary. My goal is to show people how to use Rawhide, but I am not there yet. Mostly, as to why they should run Rawhide instead of Tumbleweed, or Neon Developer's Unstable Edition, or Mageia Cauldron, or OpenMandriva Cooker. Rawhide is superior, is the reason, but I need to be able to explain that in logical sensical terminology. I am a novice Rawhide user, and probably always will be. ( But even Mr. Torvalds announced once when introducing his new kernel idea, that it was just a tiny project ). Who knows, maybe someday in 2040, I will fork Rawhide, and call it "FudOS." I do not know how to write a "hello world " program. But maybe I will learn that someday. I am pretty good at playing FreeCell in Aisleriot, and not to shabby at Gnome Mahjongg. My long term goal is to learn more about the things that Linux novices struggle with like printing and wi-fi, and video cards and all the things a gamer must do to set up a AAA game with the latest packages. I am not there yet, but occasionally watch a YouTube video to learn. Cheers, David Locklear Arcola, Texas USA

Just to be sure: my home partition is contained in physical volume which is a raid array (md5), I have nothing to do with this array?

I get: that my username "is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." Not sure how this happened. How do I get back into sudoers? I am not even sure I, (in fact I think that I do not), have a root account. Any suggestions? This is strange.

Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Subject: Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic Good day from Singapore to all Linux users, Recently, on 12 March 2020, I have successfully created my own custom Linux distribution which I affectionately call it Teo En Ming Linux. My custom Linux distribution is based on the most basic Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd book and Linux kernel 5.5.7. I am able to boot it successfully on my Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA internal harddisk /dev/sdb2. After the initial success, I wanted to make a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. I followed Jimmy Anderson's guide (which was written more than 7 years ago on 20 Jan 2013) and modified his guide in trying to make it work with LFS 20200302-systemd book. You may refer to the following guides on how I created a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. Blog post #1: "How to create a Bootable Live CD/DVD from your Linux From Scratch (LFS) build" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/how-to-create-bootable-live-cddvd-f… Blog post #2: "Patching Linux Kernel 5.5.7 to Add Support for AUFS Filesystem" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/patching-linux-kernel-557-to-add.ht… When I booted up my bootable Live CD/DVD, I got a kernel panic. Looking at the following screenshot, it seems that my 64-bit Live CD booted in 32-bit mode. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P_EcnlhuDIQ/XnDso3sjNZI/AAAAAAAAAqw/qa5EZoHQQa8W… Notice the "trampoline_32bit" and "booted via startup_32()" lines on the above screenshot. The following screenshot illustrates the kernel panic. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uSNEk19fG7s/XnDtZf-80_I/AAAAAAAAAq4/Q-GAHKnWe_IS… My guess is that my 64-bit Live CD booted up in 32-bit mode, and when it tried to execute /sbin/init (symlink to systemd binary) after mounting the squashfs root file system, which is 64-bit, it resulted in a kernel panic. What I am trying to say is that the 64-bit Linux kernel on the Live CD boots up in 32-bit mode (my guess), and then tried to execute purely 64-bit binaries, which results in a kernel panic. Please advise me on how I can resolve this issue and produce a working Live CD of my LFS system without kernel panic.

Using Steam with Fedora
by Patrick O'Callaghan 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

For several years I've been using a Windows VM with passthrough graphics as a gaming platform. It works pretty well, but ties up machine resources even when idle, so I'm now experimenting with Valve's Linux version of Steam with the Proton additions to the Wine libraries. I've disabled the VM, installed the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers, modified grub appropriately and rebooted. The Nvidia modules are loaded. The nvidia-settings command shows the GPU. However when I run games under Steam, they are using the internal Intel GPU, making this configuration essentially unusable for AAA gaming (i.e. games will start but are unplayably slow). I can find no documentation on how to change this (whether via a global Steam option or even individually for each game). For the record, Linux Steam is a 32-bit executable, but I don't think this should affect anything (my machine is 64-bit). Has anyone done this successfully on Fedora? There are any number of Google hits on similar themes, but mainly focussed on Ubuntu, which is what Valve are mostly aiming at. poc

prep. for upgrade.
by home user 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

stand-alone home workstation; f30; dual-boot (with windows-7); Gnome (mainly). I plan to upgrade to f31 in about a month. I looked thru the instructions for the upgrade. I know that beforehand, * I should do a back-up, and * that I should download the Fedora Workstation Live image to a USB stick. F31 seems to have had more problems than the past several (6+ years) of releases. I don't have any data; that's just my impression based on this list. (I am curious what actual data would show.) question 1: In addition to doing a back-up and making a live image USB stick, what preparations should I make to, within reason, minimize the probability of problems when I do the upgrade? question 2: How do a make an f30 Fedora Workstation Live image on my USB stick? I found a place in the Fedora website to do f31, but I seriously want f30 for this. Thank-you! Bill.

Reasons for staying on a old version ( Re: Prepping for upgrade)
by Christopher Marlow 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

I am just curious why people stay on old versions of Fedora like say FC30 instead of upgrading to 31? I am guessing after a new version of FC comes out, that the previous version is still supported for a limited time? Thanks, Chris Fedora 31 Workstation XFCE Desktop Enviroment.

Fedora Mate accessibility
by Devin Prater 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Hi all. I just tried installing Fedora Mate into a virtual machine, using VmWare for accessibility reasons. I am blind, so use the Orca screen reader <https://github.com/GNOME/orca>. During installation, Orca works fine, although I had to turn up the sound volume using AlsaMixer in mate-terminal. After installation, though, I must, again, turn up the volume through alsamixer, then start Orca. But, moving to the desktop, opening the applications menu and using arrow keys to move around, and pressing Alt + F2 and running terminal, Orca does not speak anything. After restarting a second time, Orca did turn on, but still didn’t read the log in screen. I just pressed Return, since I chose not to set a password for this test account on a test virtual machine. Still, Orca did not read the desktop after I logged in. So, is there a step I’m missing? Or is Fedora Mate simply not designed to be accessible? As Mate is the desktop environment many blind people enjoy using, both because of the linear menus and light resources, I think some dedication should be set to making this spin of Fedora, one of the most up-to-date variants of Linux that is user friendly, accessible. Thanks for any help with this.

detect bluetooth mouse connecting?
by Tom Horsley 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

I always need to run some ximput commands when my bluetooth mouse connects, I'm wondering if I can automagically detect the mouse connecting and run the commands so I never have to remember to do it manually. The only thing I've found so far that notices a new mouse connection is messages for the device appearing in dmesg. Once upon a time, I'd get dbus messages when connecting a usb mouse, but I don't see anything showing up on dbus for a bluetooth mouse. Is there some well known way to detect new bluetooth connections which I simply can't find in my googling?

Clone fedora 31 on new computer
by Robert McBroom 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

Windows 10 on nvme ssd. Two additional drives is the system. Desire to put fedora on a partition of a gpt drive. Live system on usb drive but the custom install sees only the entire drive not the desired partitions. Set up for /boot,/ and /home. I have a repository with current fedora 31 rpms on a network drive. Followed many threads on the uefi bios and think I see how to add fedora to the boot sequence. How do I tweak the install to go where I want it?

Mouse controls for Fedora
by Robert G (Doc) Savage 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

I'm been using a Logitech M705 wireless mouse with my Fedora laptop for a long time. Recently it seems to have developed an unwanted "double- click" behavior when the left button is depressed. This is particularly objectionable when I'm trying to select a single e-mail in Evolution, or after selecting it, to delete it. If either action senses a double- click, that e-mail will pop up in its own window, or it and the next message will be deleted. Is this something that I can tune out with Preferences > Hardware > Mouse in the MATE desktop? Or is there some other control? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

Where is browser to be executed on open URL configured
by Geoffrey Leach 08 Mar '20

08 Mar '20

xfce-terminal, bash, fedora 30 When there's a url -- http://foo.bar.com for example -- typed in the terminal and I clink the RMB with the sprite on the text, I am offered the option: "open link". So far, so good. The default browser is not executed. (Firefox rather than Chrome, FWIW) Question: where is the browser to be executed at this point configured?

f31 : wifi dev not present but driver is loaded
by Adrian Sevcenco 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi! I have a really weird situation with my wifi device on an old Thinkpad t420 : i have no network device but the device seem fine in lspci and the iwlwifi driver is loaded. There is not hardware problem as i tried a knoppix and it works without problem. One small quirk is that the ssd+os is transplanted from other station to this laptop, but i would have expected for the wireless device to be at least discovered Any idea what is going on? Why i do not have it in ip addr output? rfkill show only bluetooth type devices Thanks! Adrian

network went boom, fix found
by Tom Horsley 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

This morning I installed a lot of updates on my machine at work which is setup with "network", NOT NetworkManager. I rebooted, and had no network. DHCP not giving me an IP, ypbind not talking, etc. After much flailing around, I found the socket systemd-networkd.socket enabled (I have no idea if it has always been enabled), so I disabled it, rebooted again, and all networking was once again functioning perfectly. Just thought someone else might run into this and could use my solution.

Primary and Secondary Display
by Michael J. Baars 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi, I just bought myself a brand new 27" monitor, that came with a standard VGA cable and no HDMI cable. Apparently VGA is still considered the standard by Philips. I would like this to be my new primary display. I also have a somewhat older Samsung 24" monitor, that is connected via HDMI to the HDMI port of my computer. I would like this to be my secondary display. Let boot things up... The grub boot menu appears on the secondary screen. Apparently the HDMI port is considered the primary port by the computer manufacturer. There's no way to change this in the BIOS. So I thought, let's make the 24" the primary and the 27" the secondary display. I can always buy an extra 5m VGA cable to replace my new 5m HDMI cable. Let boot things up... The grub boot menu appears on the primary screen. So far so good. Waiting for the login prompt, and yes, there it is... on the secondary screen :) And yes, I've double checked the settings under Devices->Displays and made sure that the Samsung 24" is the Primary Display. Any thoughts? Regards, Mischa.

Printing through a Wifi repeater on a LAN printer using CUPS
by Frederic Muller 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi! This might be a little bit out of topic on this list but I am getting out of options. So here we go and thank you for your patience: I have a few Fedora clients on one subnet, a firewall and the Internet on one side. Then in a different room, far away from my router I have a HP printer with a RJ-45 connector. I then bought an inexpensive Wi-Fi Repeater/Router with 2 Ethernet ports (I guess 1 WAN, 1 LAN), thinking I could connect a cable from the LAN port and to the Wifi using that device allowing me to share that printer over my network. I've setup that device as a repeater and the wifi part works. However it seems the LAN interface can only be setup as a different subnet. Let's say my network is 192.168.0.x then the LAN interface IP is automatically set by the device firmware as 192.168.1.x (netmasks are all at 255.255.255.0) . The repeater IP is currently given by the DHCP server running on my router and on 192.168.0.x. Currently I can't see the printer from my computer. I could also set up the device as a router (I however assume I'd need a cable from the WAN port to my router), an AP (would need a cable from my router to the device - so no) or an WISP (not what I need neither) but it doesn't seem to fit. I've already spent 2 days on this and starting to lose my hair... so do you guys have any suggestion or done this before? Looking forward to reading from you. Thank you. Fred

The people who *make* Fedora mostly hang out on other lists, like devel. devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org The people who *test* Fedora mostly hang out on the test list. test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org You'll have much better luck with your questions there.

I just want to say hi :)
by Łukasz Piekarski 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hello, My name is Łukasz, but to make things easier, I often write Lukas. I live in Poland with my son and my fiancee. I'm working in e-commerce but my passions are computers, software, programming, Linux systems and management. I'm using Fedora 31 as my daily driver. I also have computers with CentOS, elementary OS and Windows on board. I think the Linux community is amazing. Especially Fedora Community:). That's why I'm contributing to Fedora by being active on the forum, testing updates on bodhi, by reporting bugs and participating on Test Days. I love to read (and comment) articles on Fedora Magazine and Enable Sysadmin (comment section, please). Sometimes I help developers fix bugs reported on Github (recently Planner Flatpak ver) or GitLab. I helped to translate into Polish Ubuntu Budgie and some applications for AppCenter elementaryOS. You can also find me on Twitter (@roypen_). I try to share my time between my family (which is most important to me) and my hobby. In my free time, I also learn Python, Linux management and building Flatpaks. I try to plan and arrange everything so that I have time for all my activities. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out. Especially when you also want to train running or watch a new episode of Picard series. However, I would like to contribute more to Fedora and focus on one or two areas. I have a FAS account (which I'm actively using) and I saw that there are a lot of groups to join. At this stage, I think I could help with testing and maybe the translations. I'm curious, where do you recommend to start? Where is the help most needed? Cheers, Lukas Piekarski

open double quote on top of next character
by home user 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

(background/environment) f30; Gnome The problem is seen in the Gnome terminal editor, but not in gvim, Firefox, or Thunderbird. The terminal's font is set to the system font (vs. custom font). The system font is set to "AR PL UKai CN Book 16". This is set via the "Tweaks" tool. I really do need to use the UKai font. (what I do) When I view a Chinese music video in youtube, I also make notes about it in a text file. I use vi(m) to edit that file. 1. In Firefox, I load a youtube video whose title and/or description (poster's comments) contains Chinese text. This text is found below the video itself, and above the section for comments by viewers. 2. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the text containing Chinese characters. 3. I paste the selected text into the left part of google translate. - Below the Chinese text that I pasted in, google translate displays "pinyin" (the "romanization" of the Chinese text). This is useful for pronunciation. - In the right part of google translate, google translate shows its English translate guess. 4. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the pinyin, and paste it into my text file of notes about the video. 5. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the English translation guess, and paste it into my text file of notes about the video. (what I see) When the Chinese text contains the Chinese equivalent of the open double quote (it looks like a double version of the less-than character '<'), then in my notes file, in the pinyin and English, it shows as an open double quote with the next English character in the same position (that is, on top of each other). There is no problem with close double quotes. I have not seen this problem with any other character. I've attached an example text file, and a screen capture of that text file in vi(m). Notice in the screen capture: - in the second non-blank line, after "13", an open double quote and the letter 'Y' appear to be in the same position. - in the third non-blank line, after "13 ", an open double quote and the letter 'I' appear to be in the same position. This problem occurs a lot, and it does make editing difficult. (the question) My sense is that this is not something that I can fix on my workstation. So I should submit a bug. Where should I submit the bug, and against what (the font or the terminal or something else (what?))?

In the corresponding file for epel-7 builds, last used before the updates, yum/yum.conf is 3.2 kB In the F30 host /etc/yum.conf is now 816 bytes Perhaps I should try to revert. John P

seems that konsole keeps blocked around 5Gb of space in a deleted file. How can I force konsole to realease it? As far as I remember, konsole was creating a huge cache file in Fedora 23 too but that wasn't a problem because the cache at that time was stored in .local/cache where I have plenty of space but now it is in /tmp. Alternatevely how can I force konsole to low the amount of cache it stores? Thank you Walter --
