Behavior Midnight Commander with exiting to the last active directory
by John Pover 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Dear readers, Since this weeks update of Midnight Commander (mc-4.8.19.1.fc25.x86_64.rpm) it's normal behavior when exiting to the last panelized directory has changed. If you have started mc from the command line in a terminal or konsole it will now exit to the directory from which you have started regardless of whatever directory was active in the last active panel. So far none of the classic remedies have success in restoring the proper behavior. These are : 1) Putting the line " alias mc='. /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' " in .bashrc. 2) Creating an executable exitcwd and putting the line " alias mc='. ~/.config/mc/exitcwd' " in .bashrc. Etc, etc. Has anyone experienced the same and perhaps found it's causes and hopefully it's cures ? Regards John

With the great success of our collaboration during Fedora 24 and Fedora 25 to improve localization, this is the time to make it even better for Fedora 26. We’re having a virtual Fedora 26 translation sprint to finish translations prior to the next Beta release. We will be gathering online from 11th April to 17th April. We have a list of priority projects to translate and many languages to cover. So, what are you waiting for? Here [1] is a short list of the basics to get started. If you have questions, feel free to drop an email on trans(a)lists.fedoraproject.org or use #fedora-g11n channel on Freenode. Want more badges? Yes, we do have a Badge for translation sprint! Wish you a Happy translation :) On behalf of the Translation team, Jona [1] https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-26-translation-sprint/

Persistent static routes
by InvalidPath 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Im having an issue with setting static routes that are persistent. FOllowing the Fedora documention for 25: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Co… After some mixup, I set one static route in NetworkManager for my main Ethernet interface to find the correct filename (instead of route-eth0, it created route-USB3_Ethernet which is what I named it in NM) However after subsequent reboots, 'route' does not reflect the routes in that file. And I did try both of the syntaxes below to no avail. ADDRESS0=10.10.10.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.0.10 10.10.10.0/24 via 192.168.0.10 dev eth0

OT : Blue Hat
by Beartooth 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Some of you might have tried in the past to acquire an actual blue Fedora (as I have, for years); if so, you might like to know that such hats now exist. They carry the name "Bailey of Hollywood"; I got mine from https://www.herringtoncatalog.com/ Color : They call it Navy, and it is distinctly darker than the royal blue characteristic of Fedora OS; but it is at least definitely blue. Size : I ordered the biggest I could get, as I normally do with hats & gloves. I could actually wear a thin cap in under this XL, and may order a size L besides -- while I can still get it. -- Beartooth Implacable, Neo-Redneck Linux Enthusiast Freedom is my issue : I'm pro-choice, pro-right-to-die, pro-gun, and pro-term-limits. Without defiance, no liberty.

ssh stderr question
by bruce 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

hey... the following test works.. ssh user_foo(a)1.2.3.4 pgrep -f 'master_app' | wc -l however, i realized that in some cases I was seeing a "ssh connection timeout" so I looked into how to capture the complete STDERR from the local side. ssh user_foo(a)1.2.3.4 "pgrep -f 'master_app' | wc -l " 1>&2 runs but not sure it will actually do what I want... any thoughts? net searching/SO hasn't given me the doh moment yet.. thanks

httpd illegal instruction by rebuild with rpmrc file
by Dominik Kucher 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

when i rebuild the src.rpm with my .rpmrc file i became the error "illegal instruction", when i create the rpm without the .rpmrc file it works perfectly! other builds (pure-ftpd, mpd, mpdscribble, samba, openssl) works with my rpmrc file, but why it breaks httpd-* and mod_* files? maybe the problem of my mod_ssl build? i use the httpd-2.4.25-3.fc25.src.rpm file This is my .rpmrc file: [builduser@buildsrv]: cat /home/builduser/.rpmrc optflags: x86_64 %{__global_cflags} -m64 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -- Dominik Kucher

Re-enabling KDE apper aplet
by Jonathan Ryshpan 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

I had some trouble with the KDE apper program and (in the process of fixing it) disabled the KDE applet in the system tray that manages it. It's not clear how to get the applet back. Can anyone tell me on how to re-enable it? BTW: The problem with apper is a bug in PackageKit (apper's backend) for which there's a work around, namely to delete /var/cache/PackageKit/25/hawkey/(a)System.solv . I did this, and it cured the problem. Thanks - jon

RE: Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6?
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

That sounds like old-school: Under traditional "Dual-stack" the intended procedure was indeed first to try IPv6, and only when it fails, THAN to try legacy Ipv4. It was thought that (network) administrators would take their responsibility seriously ;-( Last February, @FOSDEM-RTC-devroom, I was informed that the new V6-mantra is named "Happy Eyes", where both options should be probed simultaneously, And let the first one who succeeds win. <dream> Still, if you get V6 working properly, there's no need for legacy-stuff :-) </dream> -----Original Message----- From: Tim [mailto:ignored_mailbox@yahoo.com.au] Sent: maandag 10 april 2017 7:39 To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6? Allegedly, on or about 10 April 2017, Stephen Morris sent: > am I correct in understanding that you are saying that even though I > have IPv6 set to link-local, that IPv6 is still being attempted across > the internet gateway, and in my case because my ISP doesn't support > IPv6, I am assuming those packets would be rejected and hence the > system would fall back to IPv4, or is it the case that > IPv6 is tried for every transmission, which would then make internet > access horribly inefficient? There's a yes and no answer to that, it will depend on the application. I've found that mplayer would first try IPv6, wait for that to fail, then try IPv4, before playing a file. It tries IPv6 because I had IPv6 on my LAN, as far as my router, but my ISP doesn't support IPv6 (so I'd need access to an external gateway). If I totally removed any IPv6 networking from my LAN, it was quicker to start playing streams. Though, the odd thing is that even without IPv6 networking, my DNS server still returns answers for IPv6 addresses (it can still do that through whatever means it has of getting out into the internet). So, to really stop mplayer from always trying IPv6 first, I had to configure mplayer not to do that. Chances are you may have to do that with your browser. Because if anything gives it an IPv6 answer for an address that you're trying to browse (whether that answer comes from your DNS server or a proxy server), it's going to try *it* first. I think that our ISPs are really dragging their heels on this. IPv6 has been around for years, they've been replacing networking equipment for years, it's well past the point where we should have working IPv6 as a matter of course. * In this case the ISP "doesn't support" IPv6 meaning that it's not there, rather than they simply won't give any help with it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.

No Network Manager in task bar after upgrade to F25
by Stephen Davies 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

With no network icon in the task bar, I eventually got my ethernet and wireless connections working again using nm-connection-editor but would prefer to get the icon interface back too. If/when I get that back, does it include the connection status notifications?
