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

Google Chrome Update Question
by Tim Evans 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

Usually, dnf updates take care of updating Google Chrome. Lately, for the past week or so, however, there's a big pink button in Chrome's status bar labeled "Update," but dnf insists I have the latest version (google-chrome-stable-115.0.5790.110-1.x86_64). If you click this button, it tells you it's unable to update Chrome and asks if you want to re-install. Is this just a new idiot light that means nothing, or is there some sort of conflict with update versions? Thanks.

Printer drivers and raw queues are deprecated

It wrote that after I installed a Brother HL-L2360DW using the printer-driver-brlaser-6.2.6-1.fc38.x86_64 package. It provided the Brother HL-L2360D series, using brlaser v6 (en) option under model. If CUPS rejects my printer before it runs out of ink, will I have another option? -- Michael hennebry(a)mail.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "I was just thinking about the life of a pumpkin.

F38 - Error in file transfer to flip phone after system update
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

F38 with Xfce: I have two Android phones I copy files to: My Samsung A01 smartphone My wifes's LG VN220 flipphone With my phone when I mount, I am queried on the phone to allow which I do then can transfer. For the VN220, I go into settings and switch USB Connection to file transfer, attach and mount the phone then just transfer files. So today I did a big update; probably has been a couple weeks since the last. Afterwards, I rebooted. Then moved some files to the A01. No problem. Then tried the VN220. It created the directories but cannot transfer files. Thunar just freezes. I have to crash it. I got to get some files on the phone for the wife. Where do I look for what might be not working? thanks
