Here is what I did: I removed virt-manager, emptied an 80 GB partition, mounted 
it as
/var/lib/libvirt and installed virt-manager again and now it ran without 
problems.

Your idea with symlink made me think of this solution, thanks for your help.

Thanks, didn't think of this possibility.

Virt-manager issues.

[Erik P. Olsen]

Hi,

1. I am getting the following error message: "Error launching libguestfs 
appliance:" and
there is nothing after the colon. What is it and does it matter?

2. I can't save the domain, It's apparently trying to save it into
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/win10.save but there is no space left on device.
Is there a way to specify a path to a device with enough space?

Need help customising Thunar.

[Erik P. Olsen]

Googling info on customising Thunar I find that you should click Edit in the 
menu which
should be very easy. However, my problem is that there is no menu when I launch 
Thunar,
so I guess the question is how do I get a menu in the Thunar window?

I don't use clonezilla but it looks like you can download an rpm package from
https://fedora.pkgs.org/33/rpm-sphere-noarch/clonezilla-3.35.2-1.noarch.rpm.html
 and then
install it with dnf.

Can qemu be safely removed?

Hello,

I don't believe I am using qemu for anything and would therefore prefer to

entirely. Is it doable?

Yes, you are right. It was just the sort of cable I had. I've now ordered an 
HDMI->DVI
cable, and that'll most probably be better.

Thanks for the help.

Dual monitor issue.

[Erik P. Olsen]

I have an old 20" monitor model Flatron L2000CP that I want to connect to my 
T580 laptop.
The monitor came with both VGA and DVI cables and the T580 "only" has HDMI. I 
therefore
bought an HDMI to VGA adaptor and have established an HDMI to VGA connection to 
the
monitor.

The connection works and I can switch to all four connection types but one tiny 
but
decisive problem makes the dual monitor unuseable: the display on the Flatron 
screen is
not positioned correctly. It is shifted ½ an inch off the screen on the left 
side and on
the right side there is likewise ½ an inch of unused area.

Any advise on how I can overcome this issue is highly appreciated. Thanks in 
advance.

Maybe I should. The disk contains 8 months of backups that I can't get at and 
has to be
demolished anyhow - or else my sledgehammer will do it :-)

OK, I accept it's now a coaster. The damn box is glued together, no screws, so 
it's not
easy to take apart - and not worth the bother :-(

Unable to mount USB connected hard drive.

[Erik P. Olsen]

I've had this 1 TB drive for about 1 year and have been using it succesfully 
for backups
of my anf my wife's systems and suddenly yesterday morning I was unable to 
mount it.
Neither fdisk nor gparted can see it but lsusb can:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab26 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Slim Portable 
Drive 1 TB

On trying to mount I get this error message:

mount: /backupdev: cannot read the superblock on /dev/sdc1

Is the drive a brick or can I perhaps regenerate the superblock somehow?

/var/lib/system-upgrade

[Erik P. Olsen]

I've noticed that the subject directory contains a lot of fc22 rpm's. Can 
somebody
explain what purpose it serves? It takes up much apparently unused space (some 
1.5 GB)
that I would happily use for other purposes.

CUPS-PDF issue.

[Erik P. Olsen]

I am trying to print to pdf using CUPS-PDF. The output is supposed to go to
member files in /var/spool/ but the created members are all empty.

I am apparently missing some configuration settings but can't find what it may 
be.
Appreciate any pointers to how I can fix it.

Issue upgrading f31 to f32.

[Erik P. Olsen]

After dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32 I get the following error:

the file /usr/include/mysql/mariadb_rpl.h makes conflict between the attempted
installation of mariadb-devel-3:10.4.12-3.fc32.x86_64 and 
mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.1.8-1.fc32.x86_64

The original error message was in Danish but I have attempted to translate it 
as well as I could. I hope it is understood.

What can I do about it? --allowerasing and --skip-broken do not help.

Thanks in advance.

Microphone problem.

[Erik P. Olsen]

When I want to use the built-in microphone of my laptop it is unavailable. I 
then
manipulate pavucontrol to make it available which is OK but when I reboot it 
becomes
unavailable again. Is there a way to make the settings I've done permanent?

Well, didn't work that way, but I've set it to Fn+F12 which is reserved for

Yes, I noticed that also, but it presents selections of all the various ways of
getting out of your session, so I changed it into just suspend :-)

Oh, I should have thought of that from the beginning. And no, there isn't a 
shortcut for
that but I've made one :-) Very nice solution.

Thanks, there is nothing in BOIS settings regarding closing of the lid. 
However, it's not
terribly important, so I can live with it.

HandleLidSwitch issue.

[Erik P. Olsen]

According to man logind.conf HandleLidSwitch=suspend is default. This does not 
happen
when I close the lid of my Lenovo T580. Directly setting 
HandleLidSwitch=suspend has no
effect either.

Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Automatic mount of external HDD.

[Erik P. Olsen]

I have an external 2TB HDD which is defined in /etc/fstab so it is mounted at 
system boot
time. I would like to be able to have it mounted automatically with the same 
mount point
as defined in fstab when it is hot-plugged and unmounted when it is later 
disconnected.
Is that possible and if so how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Issue: Epson Perfection V39 and imagescan.

[Erik P. Olsen]

Have installed imagescan from Epson.com and it works only half way through. 
Launching
imagescan provides a dialog with some of the button greyed out which they 
shouldn't be
according to the manual. Pressing the scan button does start the scan but no 
output is
generated.

Has anybody run into this issue and have probably a cure to it?

No. I've been porting system-config-users from previous versions to the next

wont work that way any longer. And it is not gnome-control-center.

It's python2 dependant so it wont install on FC31.

Yes I did reboot but somewhat later I went into settings to see what the screen
resolution was. I tried to change it into something more resonable and then, lo

behold, the screen did actually resize. And all is well.

Thanks a lot. Did install it and now this problem was solved. However, a new

showed up: the screen auto resize did not work. Maybe I should get in contact

about it. Hope they will listen.

Thanks for the answers. I said that the /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log was of no 
help because
I did not understand what I saw but comparing my list to Ed's shows that the 
problem
indeed is the same. So I guess I have to wait for the next version to surface.

Can't install VirtualBox Guest Additions.

[Erik P. Olsen]

Hello,

I have problem installing VirtualBox Guest Additions. My host is 
5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64
And when I run the VGA installer on the guest system I get:

[erik@localhost VBox_GAs_6.0.4]$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 6.0.4 Guest Additions for Linux
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing installed version 6.0.4 of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Copying additional installer modules ...
Installing additional modules ...
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel 
modules.  This may take a while.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: To build modules for other installed kernels, run
VirtualBox Guest Additions:   /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup 
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the modules for kernel 
5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64.

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log to find out what

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until

Perhaps someone on this list has overcome this problem and would explain what I 
did
wrong? The /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log was of no help.

Thanks for your interest in my problem. I solved it in Settings -> keyboard ->

setting "Change Layout Option" to "Menu" and "Compose key" to "Caps Lock".

How to disable CapsLock.

[Erik P. Olsen]

Is there a way to make CapsLock a dead key? I never use this key on purpose and 
it's
irritating when I sometimes hit it without knowing, so I would rather have it 
doing
nothing.

I use to build claws-mail from source but wanted to try the package and it 
failed with the
error I described. I thought this symlink could act as a circumvention until 
the package

Claws-Mail doesn't start on FC28 because it can't find libnsl.so.1. A softlink 
to
libnsl.so.2 fixes the issue.

OK, let me serve you the piece of cake :-)

1. Configuration -> Filtering
2. Give the filter in question a name (any name will do)
3. Hit the upper define button to define the condition on which the filter 
should act.
4. If you for example want to filter messages from a certain user press the 
"Match
Criteria" pull down and select "Header"
5. Now you can select which message header to use by pressing the "Name" pull 
down and in
the case of matching a user's mail address select "From" and enter the user's 
address in
the empty box below the "Name" box.
6. Now press "Add" and "OK"
7. You have now defined the filter condition and you remain the define what the 
filter
should do. Press the lower define button.
8. It comes up with the action "Move" as default. Press the "Action" pull down 
to see the
various possible actions. Select one of them and pick the target destination 
through the
"Select" button. 
9. Once the destination  is selected you press "OK", then "Add" and "OK"-
10. Your filter is now defined and you activate it by pressing "Add" an "OK".

Have fun.

Configuration -> Filtering

From then on you give the filter a name and press the two define buttons on the 
right of
the display and I am sure you can find the right way to create a filter. It's a 
piece of
cake.

Try it with Vuescan (www.hamrick.com). It's proprietary but can be run free in 
demo mode then you
may see if it at all works in fedora.

Thought I'd let you know that I took the advice about using an access
point. I bought a UniFi AC-AP LR although the controller wont run on
Fedora 23. However the UniFi app does easily set up the AP. It took 10
minutes after having unpacked it and with the TX power on high it
knocks through all the obstacles.

Thanks for all your advice.

I already tried using alien but to no avail because it produced this
rpm build error: Arch dependent binaries in noarch package

So alien is a bad idea.

It turned out that the controller software is only available debian

Thanks for that information. There is a unifi ac-ap lr with exceptional
long range. I don't have much knowledge about WAPs but my router has
one free cable port so I assume I could connect the WAP to that port 
and disable all wireless ports on the router and let the WAP handle
the wireless devices. Does that sound doable?

Thanks for your answer but the placement is not to discussion. That's
why I want a router that can knock through the obstacles I know
are there.

Seeking advice on router.

[Erik P. Olsen]

I have a linksys router model WRT160NL but the range is too short. I
experience many situations where the connection is dropped when the
distance from the router is more than 25 feet. What is the recommended
router when it comes to signal strength? I would prefer one which can be
flashed with dd-wrt.

Thanks in advance

I am using claws-mail. When I click on the URL in question it opens a
dialog prompting me to used xdg-open and when I accept it it opens
firefox. I may also chose to select google-chrome in which case it
correctly opens google-chrome. I'll probably have to trace the action

It's more tricky than that. If I issue the command that Ed mentioned
xdg-open correctly opens a tab in google-chrome. But if I click on an
URL attached to an e-mail it opens in firefox.

default-web-browser was already set for google-chrome and the two
scheme-handlers are not implemented for xfce. So that doesn't seem to
do it.

xfg-open issue.

[Erik P. Olsen]

When I use xdg-open to open an URL it opens it with firefox although
my preferred browser is google-chrome.

Is this a bug or have I missed something.

I am running f23.

I think yum-extender for dnf is the culprit. I see today that
kernel-4.4.4-301.fc23 has become available and yum-extender does not
include kernel-devel in the update whereas dnf update does. Weird.

Thanks. I'll take a note of that and see if I remember next time I
upgrade :-)

I am running F23. Actually I had to upgrade to 4.4.3-300.fc23 this
morning and kernel-devel didn't upgrade allthough I had all previous
kernel-devel versions installed.

Issue with kernel-devel installation.

[Erik P. Olsen]

It is not a bug but merely an irritation whenever I update the kernel
to the next level kernel-devel is not updated, I have to do it manually
when I run into a problem that it is not installed.

How can I train dnf to pull in kernel-devel when the kernel is updated?

/usr/src/kernels/4.2.6-201.fc22.x86_64 missing.

[Erik P. Olsen]

The subject kernel headers are missing. Where can they be found?

 The problem is that the package is broken. I hope someone can tell me
 where I can find them.

Bob, check Vuescan from hamrick.com
(http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/canon_n1240u.html). It's the only
proprietary software I use, but you don't have to pay in order to test
you device. At least you can see if the scanner is broken.
