THANKS FOR THAT, Steve!
I could not get grub2-mkconfig to actually change the grub.cfg file. Now
I know why ( but not why such a dangerously misdescriptive switch would
be hidden away in a default file).
In the past I would just edit the damn file, but the new motherboard
uses EFI, and such hands-on fixing might lead to an undesired result!

USB-live
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I have a USB key with fedora 32.
It works fine on a PC (A), but I cannot boot on it with another computer (UEFI): B
ls /run/media/user/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6/
images
EFI
isolinux
LiveOS
/run/media/user/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6/EFI/BOOT
BOOT.conf BOOTX64.EFI grub.cfg grubx64.efi mmx64.efi
BOOTIA32.EFI fonts grubia32.efi mmia32.efi
/dev/sde1 * 0 3840191 3840192 1.9G 0 Empty
/dev/sde2 172 22559 22388 11M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sde3 22560 69423 46864 22.9M 0 Empty
On the other hand, I checked that I can boot on PC B from a USK stick
(which is also UEFI, if I understand correctly)
ls /run/media/user/GPARTED/EFI/BOOT
bootx64.efi
multibootusb_grub2.txt
Is there something special to configure when booting?

usual torment after updating firefox
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I updated my firefox and, as usual, the syntax to configure the place
of the tab bar has changed.... So, my tab bar is at the top of all
bars and I want it just above the tabs themselves...
This happens everytime developpers have some gas I think and it is
very ennoying because we have many things else to do....
I just came accross a new torment: firefox claims that it has been
updated in background (almost two hours after my update of the whole
system) and I have to restart it without any delay.... no care of what
I am doing!
Boring!
If someone has the recipe to change the place of the tab bar, I will
be happy to know it.
Thank you.

nfs mount problem -
by Bob Goodwin
I have been chipping away at incorporating a new ASUS RT-ACFH13 router
in my system for a few days but it is beginning to seem like an
eternity! I have used a number of routers and they usually work after
some configuration, it's not a difficult thing to do. But I am beginning
to wonder if this one has some unusual defect. It's wifi works, the
iPhones, iPads, a Mac portable, even a Windows10 portable seem to
connect without complaints.
But my wired ethernet NFS server and the SMB server do not? The USB
connected drive is listed but shows as "not mounted."
the NFS server is listed among the wired devices along with two
Workstations and a Brother printer all of which work, but the NFS server
does not. and from this computer I get "192.168.50.32access denied":
[root@WS1 bobg]# mount 192.168.50.32:/nfs4exports/home /media/nfs
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting
192.168.50.32:/nfs4exports/home
I can ssh to 192.168.50.32 and from there I can ssh back to either
workstation, systemctl status shows sshd Active on both of them. I have
changed nothing in the NFS server, the router set the ip addresses in
the .50 subnet which is ok I would think.
What am I missing or should I return the router to Amazon? Bob

.bash_profile
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
What control the call to .bash_profile?
I am 2 machines and a different behavior while, I cannot see the
difference in the configuration.
On both machines .bash_profile is run in text terminal
But on one, it is also run in gnome-terminal
but not on the other one.
I check the profile preferences, both are the same (command run: none checked).
Thanks

rsync question?
by bruce
Hey.
I've got a test scenario. I'm looking to copy from sourceDir to
targetDir where the entire targetDir (parents) doesn't exist. So I'm
trying to rsync and create the dir path at the same time.
I've tried to play with variations of the following and I'm missing something..
rsync -aq --rsync-path='mkdir -p /home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel
&& rsync' /home/test/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/
/home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel
rsync: mkdir "/home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel" failed: No such
file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(664) [Receiver=3.1.3]
The source dir exists. The "/home/webdev" dir exists.
thoughts/comments?
thanks

Missing dev files for xdamage triggered a bunch of warnings. In the end
I reinstalled the xdamage dev package
and that made everything happy.

Thank you. Finally got it sorted out. For some reason the missing dev
files for one or two packages triggered the bunch of warnings.
