Run firefox across ssh?
by S.Bob 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

All; I seem to remember way back in the day we used to ssh to a server, set our local display on that connection and then run a web browser FROM the ssh target but display the web browser on the source machine. I think we used to do this: ssh -Y target_machine export DISPLAY=:0 $ firefox & I have a mac, I can ssh to it, I want to run a web browser FROM the mac but displayed on my Fedora 31 laptop. I tried this: ssh -Y mac_ip export DISPLAY=:0 $ /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox But no joy Thoughts? Is this possible?

No idea about the Mac, but the same thing on a Linux box instead of the Mac works just with local$ ssh -X remote_linux_box remote$ firefox I'm not sure anymore about doing something with DISPLAY, on either end... It just works. Stay safe. Iosif Fettich

F32, Mate, i686 vs, 86_64
by Beartooth 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

I'm getting failure because of conflicts in Mate-panel between i686 and 86_64. Can I somehow remove all of one with a single command? (I expect more such conflicts.) How do I tell which a given machine should be pared down to? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Where is the DNF system upgrade log? F32 install did not reboot
by Barry Scott 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

I had a server fail to reboot after completing the system upgrade to F32. Is there a log that I can look at for clues as to the problem? I did wait for the install to finish, I hit reset after 10 hours. Happily the system did boot up to F32 after I hit the reset switch. Barry

So the place is in Cambodia and the valley is in a V shape, mountains bing outside of the V and the top of the V facing the sea (or kind of....). And so I asked if satellite connection was an option as it is what he thought about, but I am not sure he knows of any provider at this stage. Thank you.

OT: Internet solution in a valley 9km from the city
by Frederic Muller 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hi! (I google searched and didn't really find much) So I have a friend who asked me what his options were for this situation: 1. He lives in a valley (so there are mountains around his place...) with no phone connection 2. He said in altitude he can get signal, which would require to have a (flying) ballon with a phone attached to it and then maybe a cable coming down? But it can't stay up at all times 3. The "city" is at 9km from his place 4. He would like to have Internet So no service provider delivers the service to his place. If anyone has some suggestions to direct my searches that would be nice. Thank you. Fred

Hi list members. After having worked fine for a number of kernel upgrades from 5.4 to 5.5 ... , the nvidia-340xx module was not automatically rebuild by kmod during the kernel upgrade to 5.6.6 leaving the system stuck during the boot process.

python 3 bindings for libgnome
by Paolo Galtieri 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Folks, I have an issue that has cropped up in F31 and F32 and I hope someone can help me. I have been using sbackup for years to do backups on my system. It has worked great up to and including F30. This program is a python2 program. The issue though has to do with bindings to libgnome. The sbackup program consists of 2 parts, a front end and a back end which actually does the backup. As long as I add #!/usr/bin/python2 to the back end backups work fine. The issue I have is with the front end. When I run the front end simple-backup-config on an F32 system I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/simple-backup-config", line 36, in <module> import gnome.ui ImportError: No module named gnome.ui In F30 this module is provided by the package gnome-python2-gnome-2.28.1-23.fc29.x86_64 Is there a corresponding package for python 3? I know python 2 is end of life, and I know I need to port sbackup to python 3 going forward, but I don't know what the python 3 equivalent to the gnome-python2-gnome package. Any help is appreciated. Paolo

Re: BIND 9.16
by David 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

I have nunerous Linux newbie questions, just using "bind" as a package example. The new 9.16 test-version of "bind" is considered "upstream.". Right ? Is 9.17 "further upstream" ? What factors will play out by the person choosing to replace the current version of "bind" in the Rawhide repo" with a later version ? Will that version be latest 9.16 described in the author's email. I am assuming that the author of the email, Mr. Menšík, is not the bind package-manager in Fedora. And finally, what would happen in Fedora 32, for "bind" to get a point-relase update ? Any helpful insights related to packaging procedures for newbies would be of interest. I have no clue what one does to compile a or build a package. David Locklear

AAUGH! More "helpful" software!
by Tom Horsley 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

I try to shutdown my new fedora 32 virtual machine. It immediately says: "Installing updates, do not turn off" AAAAAAUGH! I don't want to install frigging updates (yet). How do I reinstall fedora and turn this crap off before I shutdown the next time?
