by fedora2015 18 Sep '17

My 81 year old mother just texted me. Her FC25 boots up to a blue screen with a message saying "There is a software upgrade available." The message disappears and the screen remains blue. I am not there to see it. Any clues as to what is going on?

xmodmap

Hello, On ly laptop, in fc24, I sued to do: xmodmap -e "keycode 112 = Prior KP_Home Prior KP_Home Prior Prior" to change the behavior of a key, but it does not work in fc26 (I have the same issue with xmodmap -e "keycode 112 = Prior (Home Prior Home Prior Prior") xev shows state 0x10, keycode 112 (keysym 0xff95, KP_Home), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 79 while the key which does the same shows: state 0x0, keycode 79 (keysym 0xff95, KP_Home), same_screen YES, What is wrong?

Weird video glitch with nvidia drivers
by Tom Horsley 16 Sep '17

16 Sep '17

I've been noticing a weird and (I'm guessing) totally harmless video glitch lately. There is one spot on my screen a few hundred pixels diagonally down from the top left corner where a small remnant of my mouse pointer can sometimes be found flickering on an off. If I run the mouse over it, everything goes back to normal (I haven't yet determined exactly when it happens, but it sure seems like it always happens in the same place). I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this happening? (Just curious, not trying to track down any technical issue :-).

howto re-enable SELinux
by Gour 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Hello! I was playing with some app (ZoneMinder) which recommends to disable SELinux, but solved my problem with the IP camera by using some app on my tablet and now would like to re-enable SELinux as it was initially configured. However, I cannot boot (without passing selinux=0) by just editing /etc/selinux/config so wonder what is correct/recommended way to re-enable SELinux on Fedora (f26)? Sincerely, Gour -- As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence.

OT: restoring Chrome bookmarks
by Patrick O'Callaghan 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

For complicated reasons involving changing browsers, my set of Chrome bookmarks was messed up. Luckily I have a backup of the correct set, but when I shut down Chrome and do: $ cp .config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks.bak .config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks on starting up Chrome it briefly shows the correct bookmarks but within a couple of seconds the old (bad) set is restored. This is reflected in the respective files (the .bak is the good set): $ ls -l .config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks* -rw-------. 1 poc poc 2216739 Sep 15 15:51 .config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks -rw-rw-rw-. 1 poc poc 104157 Sep 15 15:51 .config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks.bak This happens repeatedly, even when I've turned off all extensions and set the startup preference to not open existing pages. It still manages to find this bad data somewhere. I'm using google-chrome-stable-61.0.3163.91-1.x86_64 Any thoughts? poc

Possible to "dnf upgrade" in a Fedora Gnome without the need to reboot?
by Wolfgang Pfeiffer 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

I took the following quote from from the recent thread "Fedora 25 not booting after update" - didn't want to hijack that thread and therefore started this new one: On Tue, 2017-09-05 at 01:56 -0700, Samuel Sieb wrote: [ ... ] > I use Gnome and I still do my updates directly online with dnf. It's > your choice how you do them. Ditto here: Gnome here (plus KDE installed, but rarely used) and I also update via dnf only, i.e. I log out of Gnome, log in to a tty, run "dnf upgrade", and reboot - did you, or anyone else, find a way to upgrade safely without the need to reboot? On Gnome? More info, and what got me to upgrade always with a reboot following: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject. org/thread/7ULAG243UNGTOSL6URGNG23GC4B6X5GB/ I'm relatively new to Fedora, and I'm astonished we seem to be on Linux in a situation now that I had on MS Windows. In previous times, on a Debian system, I rebooted the machine maybe once or twice a year (not kidding ..) and it worked - provided I didn't mess up dependencies with the package manager (I *did* mess it up .. :) .. ) TIA Wolfgang
