I've been reading about firefox 89 and wanted to check it out. I'm on F34. Doesn't seem to be in updates-testing.

off-topic mouse question
by Tim 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Does anybody know of a mouse with a scroll wheel that's not rubber coated? I have a latex allergy, getting really sick of the skin irritation, and I'm not having a great deal of luck researching this. Most mice don't state what they're made of. Yes, I do want a scroll wheel mouse and not a trackball. They have their purposes, but don't suit what I generally want to do. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.25.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 28 21:49:45 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.

Speaking of log spamming, I see nmb spam
by Tom Horsley 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Checking for spam from NM, I instead found this nonsense: Jun 6 00:01:19 zooty nmbd[2999]: [2021/06/06 00:01:19.675514, 0] ../../source3/libsmb/nmblib.c:923(send_udp) Jun 6 00:01:19 zooty nmbd[2999]: Packet send failed to 192.168.2.255(137) ERRNO=Operation not permitted That 192.168.2 network isn't really there, it is a bridge setup that has nothing connected except for some special virtual machines that sometimes use it but are almost never running. So I found the interfaces config options for smb.conf and made those messages stop, but the web is full of info telling me I no longer need netbios on Windows 10, yet when I stop the nmb service, my Windows 10 virtual machine cannot mount the shares it normally mounts from my fedora box. Anyone know if it is really possible to get rid of nmb? (The only systems mounting shares are windows 10.)

network manager spamming logs with repetitive messages
by Frank 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

I noticed this morning that network manager is spamming my log with messages repeated every 3 or 4 seconds. Jun 06 11:58:22 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[787]: <info> [1622995102.8297] policy: set-hostname: current hostname was changed outside NetworkManager: fedora Jun 06 11:58:22 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[787]: <info> [1622995102.8299] policy: set-hostname: set hostname to localhost.localdomain (from address lookup) It repeats these messages every 3 or 4 seconds. This apparently has been going on for a few days at least. There is a bug 1894137 - But it was filed last November. Anyone have any suggestions ?

Troubles with the claws-mail
by Bob Marcan 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Fedora 33 up to date (Sun Jun 6 11:47:43 CEST 2021) claws-mail-3.17.8-1.fc33.x86_64) In claws-mail keyboard key "k" is ignored. Same key is working in all other applications. So it is not a keyboard problem. :-) Does anybody have an idea where is the problem? TIA, Bob

issue before update
by Patrick Dupre 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hello, I planed to update a multiboot machine (all fedora 32) The "regular" machine is installed on sda4 with /boot/efi on sda3 Thus, I first updated a minimum distribution booting on sdc3 But, I did not have enough room on /boot Hence, I made a rpm -e kernel-core-5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 because I did not understand why there was still a fc28 on this distribution. At the reboot, I could not boot properly on any kernel. Finally, I was able to boot on sdc3 with an old kernel 5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64 I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and tried grub2-install /dev/sda But grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory. Checking: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi is not installed no grub2-efi packages on this machine grub2-efi-x64, grub2-efi-x64-modules are installed on the "regular" machine What do you suggest? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 | | Room# D114A ===========================================================================

New window opens on the same screen. firefox always opens on LVDS-1, even when is launched on VGA-1. After moving the window to VGA-1, new window again appears on LVDS-1. No matter if the screen is primary or not. Any clue? TIA, Bob
