scripting Gnome - ?
by lejeczek 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hi guys. Would you know best, or perhaps just a good way, to script Gnome, Nautilus/Files specifically? I'd like to script "bookmarks", which would if possible get re-created at user login automatically. All notions shared are much appreciated. many thanks, L.

Fedora 36 CoreOS [1] 3. Fedora Cloud Test Day [2] These are events that are easy to start off if you are new to Fedora and some of them even reward you with a Fedora Badge as token of gratitude and reward for your time and energy that you spent contributing! The wikis below will guide you through the instructions and how to participate. In case of an unlikely event of things not working as intended. File a bug and if you have any questions, reach out to @test list directly. In the coming week, we have two of the most community impacting topics that we will test for the Audio and Upgrade path to Fedora 36 from Fedora 35 and Fedora 34.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

display problem (probably OT?)
by home user 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

(f34; gnome (is that relevant?), NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660], Dell U2711) This is a dual-monitor home workstation. This afternoon, the left monitor suddenly started displaying only dim vertical stripes and lines and a black background, nothing else. The right monitor still works fine. It is the same when I switch the monitor cables on the back of the tower, at the graphics card outlets. How do I determine whether the problem is the monitor, the graphics card, the graphics driver, or something else? Is there something to look for in a log file? If yes, what do I look for, and which log file should I look in?

dns config query
by Jack Craig 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

hi list, i have recently failed to get a cascaded router configuration to work, so i removed the second router and am now just using the att provided router (arris bgw210700). Worse, I made erroneous assumptions and managed to shoot myself in the foot. I am revisiting earlier provided dns setup and run into the following issue. I get as far as whois and things appear to fall apart... *host linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com>linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com> has address 108.220.213.121* *host 108.220.213.121121.213.220.108.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer unknown5065f34aece5.attlocal.net <http://unknown5065f34aece5.attlocal.net>.* *whois linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com>[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com <http://whois.verisign-grs.com>][Redirected to whois.networksolutions.com <http://whois.networksolutions.com>][Querying whois.networksolutions.com <http://whois.networksolutions.com>] <timeout>* *systemctl systemctl status namedUnit named.service could not be found.* *so i am not running named and it looks to me like whois networksolutions is confused.* *dig sez, ...* *dig linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com> any; <<>> DiG 9.16.27-RH <<>> linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com> any;; global options: +cmd;; Got answer:;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 23677;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 65494;; QUESTION SECTION:;linuxlighthouse.com <http://linuxlighthouse.com>.

DRPM performance ?
by jim.cromie＠gmail.com 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

so a couple of weeks ago, I did a dnf update, and got ~ 19% reduction due to DRPM that was by far the highest return on the effort Id seen. previous experience for me was 1-4%. I should have grabbed a "screenshot" and sent it here. Whats the "average" experience here ? are there statistics ? do *noarch 's do better ? how often do you see some version of "find/download failed" ? (it sometimes appears to be a cached-version problem, particularly if the update is older than a few days)
