Mouse controls for Fedora
by Robert G (Doc) Savage
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?

Where is browser to be executed on open URL configured
by Geoffrey Leach
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
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!

selinux.... again
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I am wondering why selinux changes its policy. I did note update or
upgrade my system for a long time now, but selinux policy has changed!
I used to use dictd server on my computer and it worked fine up today: I
can't start the server for selinux block it (If I setenforce 0, I can
start the dictd server). Why? I don't know.
And, as usual, journalctl is unable to give me any clue:
using journalctl -u dictd answers:
mars 05 11:57:53 dipankar systemd[1]: Starting Dictd Dictionary Server
Daemon...
mars 05 11:57:53 dipankar systemd[1]: Started Dictd Dictionary Server
Daemon.
mars 05 11:57:53 dipankar systemd[1]: dictd.service: Main process
exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
mars 05 11:57:53 dipankar systemd[1]: dictd.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
Thank you sir! "Failed with result 'exit-code'" What can I do with this.
dictd.log file is also useless:
:I: 1701 starting dictd 1.12.1/rf on Linux 5.3.14-200.fc30.x86_64 Thu
Mar 5 11:21:46 2020
:I: Initializing 'MW'
:I: Opening indices
(dict_index_open) Cannot mmap index file "H=
(dict_index_open) dict_index_open: Permission denied
OK! What can I do with this?
The only way I found is to stop selinux!
Who can help?
Thank you.

network went boom, fix found
by Tom Horsley
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
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
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.

This is the users' list, so most of the people here are just *users* of
Fedora. 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.
