Strange mouse issue in VirtualBox
by andrea 18 Jun '17

18 Jun '17

Hi I occasionally have this strange mouse issue in VirtualBox. Running an update version of Fedora 25 with GNOME and wayland. (64 bit) Most recent VirtualBox 5.1.22 Guest Windows 10 with Guest Additions Installed. Sometimes the mouse partially stops working and the only way to reset it I've found is to power off the guest. When I say partially I mean 1) mouse pointer still moves 3) it can be used to trigger the GNOME task switcher (top left corner) 4) no other control responds to clicks As soon as the Guest stops, everything starts working again. Keyboard still works and this is what I use to gracefully shut down the guest. Somehow the mouse click event is trapped by Virtual Box and cannot be used. I know it makes little sense, but this is my best description at the moment. Andrea

Virtual keyboard problems.
by George R Goffe 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hi, I just installed a ton of packages to this system and all of a sudden I have this virtual keyboard. Yes, you guessed it, I don't know which package brought me this head ache. This system is a Fedora 27 x86_64 (rawhide). I'm using KDE. The monitor is a Samsung 27" TV and has NO touch screen capability that I'm aware of. I am using ONLY the TV as a monitor... the one on the laptop is disabled as far as KDE is concerned. Any/all help hints/tips would be GREATLY appreciated. My UNENDING Thanks, George...

F25 LibreOffice hung
by Robert Moskowitz 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

I had an Office Base database open for a few days (and a couple system suspends), along with lots of spreadsheets and docs. Went to close Base and save the database and now none of the LibreOffice docs are responding. I thought I found the soffice.bin running and killed it, but it still seems to be running and I can't see if there is any other related process. How can I find the process and kill it? I really don't want to boot... thanks

printing envelopes?
by Tom Horsley 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

I was trying to use LibreOffice to print an envelope last night. The Insert>Envelope... dialog worked fine, but it will only produce a profile print. My printer wants the envelope inserted longways. My work-around seems to be to export a PDF, then use evince to print the PDF, which will indeed allow me to change the orientation when printing. Is that really the only (relatively simple) way to print envelopes? (It might actually be simpler to use texlive and command line tools).

systemd .service/.timer question (needing help)
by Trever L. Adams 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

I am needing a bit of help. I am converting some of my old crontab entries to xxx.timer and xxx.service systemd files. I have the following (the system is a backup server that can be woken by magic packets or some amount of time before the backups run): ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -t $(/usr/bin/date +\%s -d 'today 23:50') > /dev/null It yeilds: Invalid escape sequences in line, correcting: "/usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -t $(/usr/bin/date +\%s -d 'today 23:50') > /dev/null" Is there a way to correct this easily, or am I going to have to turn that line into a separate shell script? Thank you. Trever

terminal hangs looking for missing commands
by Matt Morgan 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

On a newish computer with F25, I see this at the command line when I type in a command that's not installed: [matt@envious ~]$ pv bash: pv: command not found... and then it just sits there until I ctrl-c or similar. I assume what's happening is it's trying to check for what package provides that command, but failing. Has anyone else seen this? What can I do about it? Apologies if this is a common error--it's resistant at least to the search terms I can think of. Thanks, Matt

File a bug report with this info. Try adding "noapic" to the kernel command line.

You mean you installed a bunch of packages without knowing what they were or how they may affect your system? And, your running rawhide which is for testing and whose questions should really go to the "test" list? Well, anyway, sounds like you could have installed qt5-qtvirtualkeyboard. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly

new package: KeepassXC password manager
by Germano Massullo 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Hello, I am glad to announce that KeepassXC just arrived into Fedora repositories. KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, a native cross-platform port of KeePass Password Safe, with the goal to extend and improve it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform and modern open-source password manager. https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/keepassxc A new important feature that will be introduced probably in future 2.3.0 release, is the PKCS#11 support, in order to let users access to the database using security devices like smartcards and usb sticks like Nitrokey Pro https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/255 Concerning the frequent question "why KeepassXC instead of Keepass*", please read https://keepassxc.org/docs Best regards
