Fedora-MATE-Compiz
by Maksym Bilak 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hello. Using this mailing list, I would like to contact the developers of the Fedora-MATE-Compiz distribution. I would be very grateful for solving the problems described below. 1. By default, the keyboard shortcut for the Toggle screen reader is not assigned in the distribution. Could you assign a keyboard shortcut super + alt + s to the Toggle screen reader? This key combination has already become a peculiar standard. It will make life easier for people with visual impairment ... 2. When installing the system on a hard drive, closer to the end of the process, the Orca screen reader suddenly turns off (I hear Screen Reader Off). I can easily restart Orca; But this situation will cause discomfort for less experienced users. There are no special conditions to reproduce the situation. Just try installing the system on your hard drive by turning on Orca. 3. I do not know if this is a bug. When installing Fedora-Workstation, selecting the Ukrainian language in the first dialog, I saw that the time zone was configured correctly (Europe Kyiv). Fedora-MATE-Compiz automatically adjusts the time zone (America New York). I installed both systems without connecting to the Internet. 4. Add, please, the NetworkManager-ppp package to future releases. This will allow users who do not have an alternative to the mobile Internet to connect to the Internet without additional manipulations. 5. Using the Ukrainian MATE interface, I can not configure the keyboard shortcuts to switch between keyboard layouts. Steps to reproduce: 5.1. Ukrainian interface language MATE; 5.2. Press Alt + F1 to enter the main menu; 5.3. Submenu Система (System); 5.4. Submenu Налаштування (Preferences); 5.5. Submenu Пристрої (Hardware); 5.6. Activate an item Набірниця (Keyboard); 5.7. Select a tab Розкладки (Layouts); 5.8. Click the button Параметри (Options...). After that, "Keyboard" closes and the focus falls onto the desktop. I also note that this problem is missing when using the English-language interface of MATE. This problem is absent, for example, in the distribution of Ubuntu-MATE. I would be very grateful for the attention to these problems; And sorry for my bad English.

Select packages missing from repo
by Alex 22 Jul '18

22 Jul '18

Hi, I have a fedora28 machine that was upgraded from fedora25 and having some problems with some packages showing as unavailable from the repo. perl-Encode is one such package. On one machine "dnf info perl-Encode" shows the package is available, but on others it is not. # dnf info perl-Encode Last metadata expiration check: 2:30:58 ago on Fri 20 Jul 2018 12:28:10 PM EDT. Error: No matching Packages to list What could cause this? I've tried running "dnf clean all" then re-running the dnf info command with no change. The following is the [fedora] section of /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo: # cat fedora.repo [fedora] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever… enabled=1 metadata_expire=7d repo_gpgcheck=0 type=rpm gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch skip_if_unavailable=False What more can be done to troubleshoot this?

by Patrick Dupre 22 Jul '18

22 Jul '18

Hello, After the upgrade to fedora 28, I lost the tab "Desktop" under tweak. I found this: You need to install in this folder name https://github.com/Ste74/org.gnome.desktop-icons-reworked/blob/master/metad… For an accident i forgot the -shell in the name But I do not understand. Some help? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

Odd ARP entry
by Jeffrey Ross 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

looking at the arp table on my system I see that I have one entry that shouldn't be there - proxy10.fedoraproject.org (209.132.181.15) at 50:3d:e5:f5:b6:c0 [ether] on enp0s25 First, the subnet this machine lives on is 172.18.19.0/24 and all of the other arp entries are correct as they are for hosts on my subnet. The MAC address listed for "proxy10.fedoraproject..." is my router which tells me that my router is supplying a proxy-arp response which I'm ok with, at least for now. So my questions are - 1) Why is this fedora system not following the routing table to reach 209.132.181.15, there is no route other than default that would match this network 2) More importantly why is this machine trying to reach proxy10.fedoraproject.org ??? (currently there are no open sessions to this destination) System is Fedora 28 with all the latest updates, and I have no recollection of ever configuring a fedoraproject proxy. Jeff

file own by 2 packages

Hello, Doing: rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf I get texlive-base-2016-33.20160520.fc26.1.noarch R-core-3.4.4-1.fc26.x86_64 showing that /usr/share/texmf belongs to 2 different packages. How can I remove it from one package? This gives an issue when I try to update my distribution. My Best. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

suspends shutdowns system instead of suspending
by Sudhir Khanger 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Hi, A new bug has cropped up on my system Dell Precision 5510 running Fedora 25 Plasma Desktop. Anytime I suspend my device it shutdowns and obviously I lose all my unsaved work. I have tried all the kernel currently installed on my system 4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64, 4.10.9, and 4.10.8. I have also tried downgrading systemd to systemd-231-10.fc25.x86_64. I continue to have the problem. sysinfo - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/9nY1-YH4IKXt4wJhyIbMGV5M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… dmesg - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/WK2NAqy3PRxrR6Fze2baIl5M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… What I can do to troubleshoot the problem?

Which is better? Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Microsoft Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Microsoft Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Microsoft Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE===
