Does anyone know if there's a way to get Android's Nearby Share feature to work on Linux? Apparently the Google code is on GitHub and has a free license (Apache 2.0), but I don't see anything in the Fedora repos. poc

Copy Paste using whatsapp web on firefox doesn't work

by ogio.spam

Hi all, I'm not sure who is responsible but the situation is like that: 1. WhatsApp web opened 2. Select text from a chat, ctrl-c or "menu copy" 3. Paste in another chat (ctrl-v or paste) works well 4. Paste in other application works well 5. Select text from another app 6. Paste in a chat doesn't work 7. Copy from another tab in firefox and paste in a chat doesn't work Same test on google-chrome is working perfectly As I don't know how whatsapp web is working, there is a simple way to remove all information about whatsapp from firefox and restart it? As you think, where I can issue a bug report? Regards Ambrogio

dnf install stuck

by Mike Wright

Hi all, 2 f38 hosts. 1 dnf install xxx works fine. Very fast. 2) spins forever: dnf.log shows Error during transfer: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for https://mirrors.fedo... Web searches show this to be common. It also showed the cures to "just wait", reboot, "try it again". Nothing definitive. Any body know how to move on from here? TIA

More hibernation mystery

by Patrick O'Callaghan

I have set up a nightly hibernation routine (see below) but it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It appears to be completely random. When I invoke it manually, via 'systemctl hibernate' it invariably works. $ systemctl status hibernate-preparation hibernate-resume ○ hibernate-preparation.service - Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-preparation.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) ○ hibernate-resume.service - Disable swap after resuming from hibernation Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-resume.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) $ cat hibernate-preparation.service [Unit] Description=Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Before=systemd-hibernate.service [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /usr/sbin/swapon /SWAP/swapfile && /usr/sbin/swapoff /dev/zram0 [Install] WantedBy=systemd-hibernate.service $ cat hibernate-resume.service [Unit] Description=Disable swap after resuming from hibernation After=hibernate.target [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/swapoff /SWAP/swapfile [Install] WantedBy=hibernate.target When it fails, I get this in the journal: Aug 13 01:05:25 Bree systemd[1]: Reached target sleep.target - Sleep.

Any thoughts? poc

recommended key pair encryption

by Mike Wright

Hi all, I recall a discussion that may have said RSA was not being accepted in f38 and a different type was being preferred, possibly ecdsa? Can anybody point me to that? (date or subject would help me search) I generated an ECDSA pair. The public key seems awfully short. Thanks

DNF5 feature status.

by Joel Naya

Hello everyone, I've been using dnf5 for almost a month and have done updates including kernel updates and everything seems to be working well. Dnf-3 has a feature of downloading source code directly from the repository which is absent in dnf5. Will it be implemented anytime soon? dnf-3 on my machine is very slow so I have to rely on dnf5. Thanks.

Printer settings?

by Alex

Hi, I have a fedora38 desktop install, and when I go to the main System Settings menu, there is no option to configure printers in the Hardware section. What package am I missing in order to configure/detect/install new printers? This is a complete reinstall on the same computer where I had fedora37. I have a Brother HL-L2370DW series printer. The printer is available when I try to print from gnome-text-editor, but not from within Chrome. I think it must be automatically detected each time I try to print with gedit, but it appears more is needed to be set up with Chrome, which I would imagine starts with proper CUPS configuration. I'm aware of the web-browser interface to CUPS, but want to use the GNOME interface to start instead. Thanks, Alex

nftables and selinux

by François Patte

Bonjour, I come accross a problem with nftables: it was impossible to start nftables, the error message is: internal:0:0-0: Error: Could not open file "/etc/sysconfig/nftables.conf": Permission denied This file /etc/sysconfig/nftables.conf has 755 permissions. I tried to get informatons from the internet but did not find a solution. I tested wether it was a selinux problem and I won... setenforce 0 solved the problem.... Now I went back to setenforce 1 but the problem is : if I reboot my machine, the problem will come back. How to make selinux accept nftables? fc36 nftables version 1.0.1 Thank you for helping. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte FSF https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-fr...
