ssmtp
by François Patte 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Bonjour, Does somebody know how to configure the "TO" field in ssmtp? In my configuration (I followed the examples given), when some app (logwatch, mdadm, rkhunter...) send a mail, the FROM field is rewrited with my name ans email address, but the TO field is root@my-internet-provider. How can I get the same as in the FROM field? ie. root=me@my-internet-provider 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

info files index generation on fedora 30 - how does the 'dir' file get generated?
by Ronaldo Mercado 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hi, Yesterday I noticed that the info files from /usr/share/info/*.info.gz on my fedora 30 pc were missing. This was because emacs 'info' command reported "emacs can't find the info directory node" A while the /usr/share/info/dir file had been generated. What generated the info directory file /usr/share/info/dir? I think the packages in old versions of fedora had a %postinstall script that called /sbin/install-info. Those scripts seem to be gone. How does the /usr/share/info/dir generation work on fedora 30? Thanks

sound device initialization?
by Tom Horsley 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Lately when I install updates and reboot, I'll randomly have no sound when I log back in. I'm supposed to get sound output on my HDMI interface (being run by the nvidia binary driver from rpmfusion). If I run "gnome-control-center sound", it will show as currently using a dummy device, and if I try to switch to HDMI output (which is listed as a choice), it won't allow me to test the audio out. Rebooting and hoping I'll have sound when I come back has been the only way I've found to fix this so far. Anyone know if there is some way to re-initialize audio devices less drastic than rebooting?

external USB drives
by Paolo Galtieri 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Folks, I recently purchased a 4TB external USB drive. I have purchased USB drives in the past and have run dosfslabel to set the drive label. When I tried this on F29 I get the following: dosfslabel /dev/sdc2 NEW_LABEL Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0. I have 2 8TB drives which I labeled some time ago without a problem, but now I get the same error when I try to print out the drive label dosfslabel /dev/sdd2 Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0. The new drive shows up on the desktop as: "Seagate Expansion Drive" I tried the same thing on F30 with the same result. Can someone tell me what's going on? Paolo

No GTK3 dark mode theme for use under KDE plasma?
by Barry Scott 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Thanks to the work of a number of helpful people I now know how to configure KDE plasma to allow Firefox to work in dark mode and support the CSS prefers-color-scheme feature. In KDE Settings search for GTK. This brings up the GTK Application Appearance panel. In here you can choose the GTK2 and GTK3 themes. Adwaita-dark is available for GTK2 but there are no GTK3 dark themes listed. I cannot find a GTK3 dark theme in the Fedora 30 repos. I had to install a dark theme from the Choose Theme button - I use Mojave-dark. Once I had done that Firefox come up in dark mode. Am I correct in thinking that there are no packages with a dark theme for GTK3 apps? Barry

Thinkfan
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Anyone have experience with this? My new x140e's fan is running at 590rpm with the CPU/GPU temp at low 50s C. I have a SSD, so drive temp is not much of an issue. The fan is noisy. The old x120e ran at 450rpm with temp of 60s C and was just fine. I am going through the various docs and samples, but have yet to figure out what to do. The fan variables for the x140 look to be the same as the x120. thanks for any help

Disable Caps Lock -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

. J am a poor typist and usually disable Caps Lock in a script with: /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=Shift_L' That no longer works as it should in Fedora-30 for whatever reason, now it just locks Caps Lock on and all I can get is caps unless I hold a Shift key which is inconvenient to say the least ... What can I use instead of "Shift_L" to make it simply do nothing? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box83 FEDORA-30/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3
