thunderbird: duplicated messages downloaded
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

[resend from correct email] F38, tb 115.3.2 (64-bit) The server is configured as pop3 with the option to leave the messages on the server. After clicking "Get Messages" I often get no reaction for a while, and click again in a few seconds. In this case, after the new messages are downloaded, a second download starts and the same messages are fetched again. Normally, only new messages are downloaded in this situation (so none on a second download), as it should be. If I download from another client then I will get these messages again, which is OK as each client should know what it already has. I have one "main" client which downloads messages, removing them from the server. When away from the main server, I often collect messages using other clients, leaving the messages on the server. This is when the problem shows. -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Time to replace SSD disk?

Duplicated start menu entries
by Paul Smith 05 Nov '23

05 Nov '23

Dear All, I was playing with menulibre and alacarte, and now I have some duplicated start menu entries. Could you please help me? I am using XFCE on Fedora 38. Thanks in advance, Paul PS: I posted this on the XFCE mailing list two days ago, but nobody has answered. That is why I am now using Fedora list.

way off topic...
by bruce 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

please.. no flames.. we all know.. the list is FEDORA only... (got it... ) no flames.. (this is a last resort!) However, doing a test of a digitalocean installation/install of ubuntu "23.10". The goal is to get a running Apache webserver. In fedora, trivial!! In ubuntu, at least with the Digitalocean starting instance, not quite working. So, I was wondering 1) has anyone here any experience/success with this process for ubuntu? 2) anyone have any idea/site one can turn to for "help"/pointers.... I've gone through countless stackoverflow posts, as well as numerous sites, etc with no success. Leads me to believe I'm missing something subtle. Thanks for any/all help!

MongoDB & lots of SELinux denials
by lejeczek 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hi guys. I’ve just installed vanilla-default MongoDB (following their official docs) and right away SELinux shows denials: ... SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mongod from search access on the directory /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/fe6f1040c1373930efe68c777805ecd4c921631e3a87b8806af1fe0cdf266d8b/userdata/shm. For complete SELinux messages run: sealert -l 5263cddc-183a-472b-9098-bf4599c8453c ... What is Mongo’s business in checking such path (and there is more paths)? - I refuse to believe (yet) that my Mongo is trojaned. Many thanks, L.

How many dirty blocks are cached for a device?
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 02 Nov '23

I can use /proc/meminfo to get the total, but I am interested in one device (or partition or fs). TIA -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

output device changes with pipewire-0.3.83-2
by Frank Elsner 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hello, has anyone other than me observed the effect that during audio playback to an audio interface the destination device changes to the "build-in audio device." This happens to me occasionally with pipewire-0.3.83-2.fc38.x86_64 and my ZOOM H6 audio interface. Any hint to avoid this welcome. Greeting, Frank

libvirt/KVM/QEMU and Secure Boot
by Jeffrey Walton 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

Hi Everyone, I recently started using libvirt/KVM/QEMU. In the past I used VirtualBox. When using VirtualBox I turned off Secure Boot because I did not want to manage signing of tainted modules. My question is, are libvirt/KVM/QEMU modules signed out-of-the-box? Or, can I enable Secure Boot without the need to manage module signing? Jeff
