new kernel?
by Ranjan Maitra 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

Just curious, there has not been a kernel in testing for a while. When is the next kernel expected to land in Fedora? I guess that it will be a 4.18.3 now perhaps? -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.

Script to wakeup monitor with speakers for cron mp3 alarm
by olivares33561＠protonmail.com 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Dear Fellow Fedora users, I had a script called upon by cron which played music at a certain time, for example 30 08 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm And .dalarm had #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/mplayer -really-quiet -shuffle -playlist ~/.playlist It worked, but I did have speakers, now. I do not have external speakers, but a monitor with speakers, if there is no activity with the mouse, the speakers are not heard and while the script does work, the monitor is not active, it is on, but inactive. I am using KDE and I do not know which screensaver is working, the screen blanks and the monitor goes to sleep. How can I wake up the screen/monitor so I can hear the alarm playing. I remember trying $ xset dpms off Or similar and turn off screen blankinh, but that does not work anymore. How do I figure out a way to get it working? Thanks in Advance, Antonio Sent from ProtonMail, encrypted email based in Switzerland.

Split tunnelling
by Patrick O'Callaghan 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Has anyone got this to work in Fedora? To be clear, split tunnelling is when network traffic to some destinations (or for some apps) is tunnelled over a VPN, while the rest of the traffic goes through normal channels. I've tried messing with network namespaces, which would seem to be the way to go, but not managed to get everything lined up so far. All the howto's I've seen are for various flavours of Ubuntu. I guess I'm asking if anyone has already done the work and feels like sharing it. poc

Device defaults -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

It seems too often I struggle with the problem of dealing with a device that, when "reset" or new, is on a different subnet and my computer address needs to change temporarily for the device to be accessedwith the Firefox browser long enough to change the device address too something in my 192.168.1.xxx range. What is the simplest way to do that with Fedora 27 or 28,NetworkManager? My immediate problem is that I have an Buffalo router /have been using as an ethernet bridge for a long time and I forgot the address I assigned to it and I can't access it. It came with dd-wrt. I t looks to me like I need to reset it to gain access with the browser. /Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

OT: how do I download with curl from this web site?
by ToddAndMargo 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi All, If you guys would permit an Off Topic question, I know there is a lot of intellectual property on this site that may know the answer. With "curl", I want to download jre-8u181-windows-i586.exe and the x64 windows and x64 Linux versions too from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133… According to Firefox's cliget, the address is: https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u181-b13/96a7b8442fe848ef90c9… But how do I get the "AuthParam"? I am stumped? Many thanks, -T

Dell XPS15 9570
by Thomas Letherby 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hello all, I'm trying to install the KDE spin on a Dell XPS 15 and I can't seem to get the nVidia drivers to install. I installed via a USB stick, and I had to add the dis_ucode_ldr switch to the boot options to get it to load and change to ACIP rather than RAID for the drive, but it installed without issue after that and seems to be working fine with the Noveau drivers, however I cannot seem to get nVidia drivers to install correctly. I'm trying to use the workstation RPMFusion repo, and they seem to install OK, but after trying the guides here: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA https://fedoramagazine.org/install-nvidia-gpu/ (I don't have the install drivers option for this one, I think that's Gnome specific isn't it?) I get similar results, namely a blank screen at login, which persists for more than 10 minutes, so I don't think it's still building the drivers. If I switch to another tty I can startx and it will load KDE. It's like it's not loading the login screen. I'm still searching through the logs but I've not found a smoking gun yet, but just in case, has anyone got this to work, and if so how did you do it? Thanks, Thomas

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "private network subnets". You mean it does this automatically, or you configured it that way? > The only > tricky part, which I haven't tried to solve, is that you can't resolve > private DNS entries from the VPN connection. This would likely be a > problem with a work VPN, unless you let the work DNS resolve everything. Indeed, that could be an issue. Poc ===================================================================== " To be clear, split tunnelling is > > when network traffic to some destinations (or for some apps) is > > tunnelled over a VPN, while the rest of the traffic goes through normal > > channels." No, not exactly. That is more an example of the use of multiple routes. Destination-A goes through gateway-A Destination-B goes through gateway-B All-else goes through default-gateway... Either GW-A or GW-B could be VPN. Split-tunneling is more that transmit and receive use different tunnels, Or traffic to SAME destination is load-balanced over multiple, parallel tunnels. "> tricky part, which I haven't tried to solve, is that you can't resolve > private DNS entries from the VPN connection." VPN-server processes can push routing info, and DNS-server addresses. AFAICR systems accept three DNS-resolvers. This can be tricky. If the VPN-process pushes three resolvers, the old ones will be gone (while the tunnel exists), Thus you are unable to resolve NON-vpn-URL's. Situation can get even more complicated, when using split-horizon DNS. Same URL with internally, and externally different IP-addresses. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org… Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

video + kodi users/geeks around? - HW decoding 1080p/4K ?
by lejeczek 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

hi guys I wonder - and for any experts this is probably trivial - and I understand it varies with hardware, but in theory, if hardware capabilities are fully implemented - should HW acceleration(playback) that works on 1080p for h264/vc1, also work for 4K? many thanks, L.

In any case changes > that I've made to the router setup have no effect on it That seems odd to me. First, my DHCP server doesn't supply Domain Name This option specifies the domain name that client should use when resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System. The code for this option is 15. in its reply as shown earlier. And I went to http://www.trendnet.com/emulators/TEW-818DRU_v1/basic/home.htm?expandable=0 and didn't find a place to specify a domain name. (Maybe I didn't look carefully enough) My search option gets set based on the assigned hostname.
