Can't display text messaging -
This system updated today, Thunderbird 35.5.0 can not display text messages sent from an iPhone. Message source shows the following: Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 22:22:11 + MIME-Version:1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; type=application/smil; boundary=__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__ My BCC from this F-22b computer displays as usual. Another computer running Fedora-21 and Thunderbird 31.6.0 displays the messages. I use this to exchange a number of messages via VZWPIX.COM daily. I can get by looking at the message source but would like to fix it. Trying various settings in MIME editor hasn't helped, it defaults to application/smil+xmlDefaultvideo It looks like I should try replacing Thunderbird with an earlier version ...

Copy/paste problem -
At least to me it is impotent that I have a convenient copy/paste routine without a lot of complicated clicking here and there.

In browser localhost:631 login as root at the CUPS prompt or else it wont let you do anything. Add Printer AppSocket/HP JetDirect In my system the address for an HP C-6800 is socket://192.168.1.11:9100 Then follow menu items for manufacturer and model. I used the same procedure for the two Brother laser printers also. Just added the HP printer in F-18 and printed test page without a problem.

Ok, apparently typing setxkbmap -optio9n terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp might work . Yes, that does the trick, ran the command and Ctrl+ALT+Backspace log me out as needed! Than you, a seemingly minor thing but it really simplifies things here.
