R as on Ubuntu and Fedora
by Max Pyziur 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Greetings, I've been learning R on both Fedora and Ubuntu. I've noticed that Ubuntu has considerably greater support for R than Fedora (more R deb packages than R rpm packages). Is there a rationale for this? Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

OT: force re-download in clasw-mail
by Amadeus WM 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

I accidentally deleted my inbox messages. I'm accessing my email via pop3 and they are still on the server, but when click "Get Mail" in claws- mail, nothing happens. Probably claws-mail knows I once had them and deleted them, so it's not bringing them again. Is there any way to trick claws-mail into re-downloading my inbox messages? Thanks!

OT: digitally signing a PDF file in Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hi, Is there a way to digitally sign a pdf file in Fedora. I have noticed that my colleagues on Windoze and Mucks all append their signatures using "Digitally Signed by...and time" presumaby using Acrobat, but is there a way to do this with something in Fedora? Of course, I prefer an OSS tool. Best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.

samba share without authentication
by François Patte 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Bonjour, I read a lot of smb.conf that are supposed to configure samba to share a folder without authentication (ie. everybody connected to the LAN can access this folder) but all these config files are wrong... ie. when I try to connect to the samba server (f27), from a windows computer, user name and password are required! I want to do the same for the printer connected to the samba server: everyone connected on the LAN can use this printer without user/password... Is that possible? And how? Thank you. -- 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

gnome-screensaver
by Amadeus WM 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

I've been happily using the mate desktop until yesterday when, after an upgrade to F27, I decided to give gnome3 another chance. Knock on wood, all seems well, except that the screen does not lock. I always boot to level 3, so I start X at the command line with startx. I also know that I have to start gnome-screensaver when X starts, and I tried to do so from gnome-tweak-tool -> startup applications, but I don't see it listed. What's the proper way to start gnome-screensaver whith startx? Thanks!

Yumex Getting Bus Connection/Network Issues
by Stephen Morris 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

Hi, Has anybody seen these messages before and know what is causing them, and hence why yumex is getting them? These are potentially new since the last system update. (<class 'dbus.exceptions.DBusException'>, DBusException('Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.107" (uid=1000 pid=3908 comm="/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/yumex " label="unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023") interface="(unset)" member="GetDevices" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.9" (uid=0 pid=1456 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon " label="system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0")',), <traceback object at 0x7fea6ad483b0>) (yumex:3908): IBUS-WARNING **: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: Connection refused (<class 'dbus.exceptions.DBusException'>, DBusException('Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.107" (uid=1000 pid=3908 comm="/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/yumex " label="unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023") interface="(unset)" member="GetDevices" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.9" (uid=0 pid=1456 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon " label="system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0")',), <traceback object at 0x7fea6ad4ad88>) 07:31:35 : INFO - Can't detect the network connection state (<class 'dbus.exceptions.DBusException'>, DBusException('Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.107" (uid=1000 pid=3908 comm="/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/yumex " label="unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023") interface="(unset)" member="GetDevices" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.9" (uid=0 pid=1456 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon " label="system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0")',), <traceback object at 0x7fea6ad4cfc8>) regards, Steve

Nvidia Module Tainting Kernel
by Stephen Morris 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

Hi, I'm using the nvidia drivers from negativo17. I have the nvidia source module registered with dkms and it seems to be being compiled when I get a new kernel, if that is the case what do I need to do to resolve the following messages shown by "dmesg"? [ 14.934074] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 14.934086] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [ 14.934087] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint [ 14.943865] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel regards, Steve

Uefi/csm -
by Bob Goodwin 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

I ordered another Asrock motherboard to replace the one I haven;t been able to install Fedora 27 on. The user manual says it can be setup to boot uefi or legacy bios by enabling csm. I do not need to dual boot with Windows, only Fedora 27 so it appears to me that the legacy option is best in my case. Is that rightor am I missing something?

basic issue/question -- renaming in mass a bunch of files
by bruce 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

Hi. Have a bunch of files with the basic naming of: ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_001__parse.dat ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_002__parse.dat etc.. I'd like to simply remove the 1st part ztcloud_nfs_parsezt from the files, renaming the files to the rest of the filename.. Thought it should be simple using rename rename 's/ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa/aa/' zt*.dat However, this didn't work... so.. hmm.. How would you guys solve this? SO has a bunch of different solns as well. thanks...
