Caja File manager hotkey idiosyncracy
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
When using the Caja file manager in xFce, if I shut it down using ctrl-W,
I can restart it later.
However, if I shut it down using ctrl-SpaceBar, then (C)lose, I can't
restart it.
Is this prevented by some "lock" file somewhere? Or something else?
Thank you,
Max

tweak/startup application
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Before fc36, I could have the application gnome-terminal
starting automatically at login.
Now, this application is still visible in the list of
Startup Applications,
but it does not work.
If I try to add a new application with tweak (at startup),
terminal, or gnome-terminal, does not show up (even by using search tool)
while /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
can be run manually.
What is going on?
Thank.

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston
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?

I'm running F35 and Gnome.
I can run the speaker tests,
the speaker icons actually appear this time,
but I get no sound.
If I play with the pale green connector in back of the PC,
I get the expected scratchy sound.
Now what?

gnuplot changed in 5.2->5.4 update
by Eyal Lebedinsky
A new gnuplot version was installed recently. Originally I had
2021-05-17T14:31:30+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-wx-5.2.8-7.fc34.x86_64
I recently upgraded fedora 34->36 and received this update
2022-06-09T18:04:52+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-common-5.4.3-3.fc36.x86_64
Since then, a simple plot with tics/labels on the left (y axis) are not anymore mirrored on the right (y2).
It used to always do this by default, and it makes sense when reading values on the right.
I tried to play with the 'mirror' option to no avail.
Anyone knows how to restore the old behavior?

Num Lock
by c. marlow
Fedora 36
XFCE 4.16
Dell Optiplex 980
I am needing to know how do I get my numlock to automatically turn on
when X loads and the log in screen comes up?
I have Numlockx installed, but the numlock does not come on after x
loads.
I had it set in the DELL bios for numlock to be on at boot, but after X
loads, when you go to hit a number on the 10 key all you hear is an
internal beep from the computer. I have to toggle the numlock off and
back on then punch the numbers in for my password.
Have it set this way was fine for all the other DE's i've used... MATE
and Gnome... But not for XFCE for some reason.
