I think the USB unifying receiver makes the mouse and keyboard work
exactly like any wired device. No need for special drivers or
configuring bluetooth. It also means you have the keyboard available
on boot, before drivers are available, if you need to hit F1 or F12 or
DELL to update boot options or access the machine's BIOS/EFI
configuration.

Hi, Tim:

I have a dozen or so domains hosted on four machines in different
parts of the U.S. I've been using LetsEncrypt.org since it was a
start-up project on eff.org, and I have never seen that error message.
I have seen *LOTS* of error messages as my httpd.conf skills are
rudimentary, but I've been able to work through them.

I can't say how well it would work with a cpanel-managed environment,
as cpanel has its own way of doing things. But the letsencrypt.org web
site has some pretty good support resources available on it to help
out, and a quick search turned up some topics on cpanel. Good luck!

Some of my best projects started out as a one-liner. ;)

I'm using Pihole now. It acts as a DNS and returns 0.0.0.0 as the
address . What if you set dnsmasq to do this with no web server

I am that someone, I think. Apologies for not following up. This is a
work-weekday machine and I just got back to the office and today's
updates to 5.19.9-100.fc35.x64_64 made no difference. I also tried a
Live USB from the F33 days and still no sound. I suspect my issues are
dead hardware and not relevant to the other issues going on.

"Dummy output" instead of sound card options, was working, now gone.

[Ted Roche]

Dell Precision M6800 worked fine for a year. Some recent change has
caused the sound cards to disappear.

Hitting the volume control buttons on my (Logitech K350 or laptop
built-in)  keyboard or digging through the settings of my Gnome
desktop for Sound shows that "Dummy Output" is my only option. While
its opinion of me isn't wrong, I could use some help getting this
working. It had been working well for years, upgraded in place to
Fedora 35. It was working after the big dnf system-upgrade, but sound
disappeared after a later update.

Internal laptop speakers make no noise, plugging headset into the
headset jack shows no dialog for "you just plugged something in" nor
makes sound.

Basic troubleshooting pointers on what to search for would be appreciated.

Beartooth:

You can look up packages at https://packages.fedoraproject.org/

and https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/pan/pan/ shows you the
current state of things.

Perhaps you can get in touch with the maintainers of the Fedora
package (linked on that page) if you are very desperate for the new
version and make your case, or perhaps volunteer to help out.

Re: desktop recording / screen casting - ??

[Ted Roche]

The first troubleshooting note on
https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/troubleshooting/ suggests:

"Some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu 17.10) will by default use the
Wayland display server. Since Wayland doesn't provide a standardized API
for screen capturing, SSR can't support it (yet). The solution is to switch
back to the X11 display server. On Ubuntu, this can be done by logging out,
clicking the 'gear' icon on the login screen and selecting 'Ubuntu on
Xorg', and logging back in."

Re: F32 can't print

[Ted Roche]

Sometimes my printer enters into a "Paused" state, and this is how I fix it:

In a browser window address bar: localhost:631
CUPs appears. Select "Administration" from the top menu bar
Click the button for "Manage Printers"
Select the affected printer
It should display the printer status, in my case: "Officejet (Paused,
Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)"
Select the "Maintenance" drop down and click "Resume Printer"
You may be asked to login with a user with sufficient privileges, yourself
or root.
if it's a good day, it should say "Printer OfficeJet has been resumed."

It does. However, the list guidelines suggest you may not want to:

There are alternatives: posting your images elsewhere and supplying links
can allow form members who want to see the images go there, while not

I dropped the local workstation firewall (in my case, with sudo systemctl

Re: Where are the microcode updates for Crosstalk in F32 ?

[Ted Roche]

Sreyen:

I ran the scripts as you suggested and also got the

 * CPU microcode is the latest known available version:  NO

and went to my vendor's website (Dell, in my case) and found there was a
new BIOS update, installed it, re-ran the tests and passed.

Is it possible that it is your firmware that needs an update?

It appears to be this bug:

Re: raspberry pi 4

There does seem to be a project to run Fedora on Pi, but you'll want to be

Re: tar a flash drive

[Ted Roche]

scrub, in the Fedora repos, has a fillzero option and a freespace specifier
that should do the trick. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST, as scrub's primary job is to
erase any trace of everything on a device, so you'd hate to get the options
wrong!

Re: Volume/mute/brightness keys stopped working

[Ted Roche]

See if the Volume/Mute/Brightness works if you hold the "Fn" key
simultaneously. There's an "Fn Lock" setting in the BIOS and/or
software-accessible that gets toggled inadvertently. Just this week, I had
customers complaining their Wifi keeps getting turned off, and their F8 is
no longer working like it used to, and that was the cause.

Re: Fedora and Thunderbird -

[Ted Roche]

Hi, Bob:

Tonequilla looks like a very useful add-on, but it appears it's been
unsupported for some time, and new versions of Thunderbird have a different
API it won't work with.

The only suggestion I could find online was to consider "Mailbox Alert" (
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mailbox-alert/)

Mailbox Alert doesn't work the same way as Tonequilla, but it appears if
you wanted to set up filters to save specific email senders into their own
folders, Mailbox Alert would let you set up different sounds for them. That
might be a big disruption to your workflow.

Haven't tried it, just found the clues on the internet.

Hope that helps.

Yes, both, and more.

PDF has many different versions and options and at least two different
systems for defining forms and the data to fill them. I have a commercial
application that uses one of the older formats, but generates tens of
thousands of "official" documents with data filled in from a database and
an official ink signature (as a graphic) which recipients can use as
evidence to perform their businesses.

With the proper libraries, these documents can be queried and what the
form-filler placed in the named data entry fields (text, number,
checkboxes, etc.) can be read by machine. So, the PDFs can be computer- or
user-generated and could be computer- and user-readable.

There are also complex forms (like tax documents) which can be filled out
with a viewer or some browsers and submitted, either as a document, or by
using embedded script, submitted over the internet. There are some benefits
over HTML forms in being able to print pixel-perfect forms or save PDFs for
those who need to archive their documentation. HTML printing on the
spectrum of operating systems and variety of printers is more difficult to
achieve.

There are a number of closed source, proprietary, commercial PDF libraries
to accomplish all of these functions. Open source options are more limited.
I've had great success with pdftk, which is available on Ubuntu but not
Fedora due to iText licensing issues, iirc.

Re: Whither CHECKSUM?

[Ted Roche]

THe CHECKSUM ought to be in the same directory as the .iso you downloaded,
so if you clicked on a link like:

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/29/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso

open a web browser and browse the directory at:

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/29/Workstation/x86_64/iso/

Note that your URL may be different, as Fedora redirects you to the optimal
mirror.

I found that /etc/sane.d/dll.conf had a list of all of the various
interface/protocol/brands that sane scanned for on startup. If I commented
out all but the ones I used (net and hp) that startup was much faster and
it didn't search for devices that may have once been configured and are

It may not be related, but I also did an update Wednesday morning, and was
greeted on Thursday morning with 3 ABRTs and complaints of a tainted kernel
and a message that there were more updates, which included a new kernel and
a whole passel of utilities, so checking for an update might be in order.

Ah! That's it. I must have missed that in the GNOME3 release notes.

I will definitely do that. Thanks, Hans!

I confirm that both the two-finger click and using tweaks work.

How to Troubleshoot? No trackpad right button Inspiron 5558 F29

[Ted Roche]

Dell Inspiron 5558, upgraded from F28 to F29 and all seemed well, until I
noticed right mouse button on trackpad was not registering. With a cordless
Logitech mouse plugged in, right-mouse clicks bring up the appropriate
context menus.

Running the "mouse and touchpad" app under devices in GNOME Settings show
both right and left mouse clicks detected as a primary button.

Tested GNOME on Xorg and Wayland.

I'd welcome suggestions on what I might try or look at for troubleshooting.

The logs include:

Re: Will a T42 thinkpad run F29?

Hi, Beartooth:

IIRC when discussed in January, people pointed you to the 32-bit distro, as
the T42 runs a 32-bit Pentium-M processor.

That's what I'd try.

Re: how to prevent google-chrome from starting full screen in gnome3?

[Ted Roche]

"Metro" and "Chrome" are window modes for Microsoft Windows 8. This
doesn't apply to Gnome3 on Fedora.

I believe that Chrome starts in the window condition it was last in:
if you close Chrome in full-screen mode, that's what it starts up in
next time.

To prevent from Chrome starting  in full-window mode, click on
Chrome's top bar, other than on the tabs and buttons, to take it out
of full-window mode (I don't know what this mode is called) before
closing Chrome.

Is it possible you have your default browser configured to only open

"Open link" correctly opens the URL in my default browser.

Thank you! I see the grub.cfg at that location was truncated to zero

Windows 10 update ate Fedora 25 boot info: EFI. LVM, LUKS, oh, my!

[Ted Roche]

Booted into Windows 10 to start the annual TurboTax stuff, and it
asked to do an update, as usual. It turned out the "Features Update"
was an entirely new version of Windows 10, Fall Creator's Update
update, or something.

Rebooting to go back into Fedora 25, and the boot menu is gone, replaced with:

grub>

Trying to follow the clues at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Encountering_the_dreaded_GRUB_2_boot_prompt

(This is a Dell Inspiron 5558, i5, 12 Gb RAM, 1TB HDD)

I've done the following: determined the boot files are on (hd1,gpt6),
booted an F25 live USB and found the LVM listed below. Fedora25 is
installed in an LUKS-encrypted partition, and is managed with LVM,
volgroup is 'fedora' and root is in LV root.

I'm guessing on a couple of these settings and would welcome
suggestions. Please forgive typos.

grub>insmod xfs
grub>insmod lvm
grub>set root=(dev/fedora/root)
grub>linuxefi (hd1,gpt6)/vmlinuz-4.13.16-100.fc255.x86_64
root=/dev/fedora/root ro quiet rhgb
rd.luks.uuid=luks-95ed05-2b2b-40ef-8eca-95ca54cf22a7 rd.lvm.lv=root
grub>initrdefi (hd1,gpt6)/initramfs-4.13.16-100.fc25.x86_64.img
grub>boot

I see the LUKS unlock dialog and type the proper password, it chugs
along, and after a few I am back at the login screen. Whew!

So, I am back up and running. Now, how can I preserve these settings
so I never have to type these things again?

The fedoraproject page above suggests:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and

grub2-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

Finally, my question: are these last two commands correct with all the
variations of EFI, GPT, LVM, LUKS etc that is my configration? After
all this, I'd really hate to write to the wrong place!

Also seeing this, on a Dell Inspiron just upgraded to *F25* using dnf.
(I'm a trailing-edge leading-edge guy.) My LUKS partition is
lvm-managed and contains both root and home mounts, and I'm seeing two
requests for password. That might be a red herring, though.

I also found that hitting backspace a few times (though no characters
were showing in the password box) allowed me to log in successfully
the first time. Also, at least once I noticed the first character
didn't seem to display the password-mask dot, so perhaps the first
character is being "lost" and hitting backspace is waking something up
and giving focus to the dialog.

Covert a Shockwave Flash File (.swf) to something useful

[Ted Roche]

Ultimately, my goal is to post some SWF files to Youtube.

An acquaintance created a series of screen-capture and audio-narration
video tutorials that produced SWF files, and would now like to post
them to YouTube, which doesn't appear to accept the SWF format.

I found the following suggestion [1] for converting SWF to MP4 using
gnash and ffmpeg, but gnash doesn't appear to be available in the
Fedora repos any more. Attempting to download the source from gnu.org
and build has lead to a couple of cycles of make errors, search for
the missing packages, reinstall, repeat and I'm hoping there might be
a better solution.

Has anyone done a similar conversion or could offer suggestions? TIA!

Hi, Mike:

I think all that was intended was the poster to the fedora-users list
replied to a message on another list and decided to send it to the
fedora-users list as well.

Hence, he/she just added fedora-users to the mail "To:"

And I've blocked further posts from that poster.

After getting the envelope inserted into the document, I use the
standard print dialog, chose page 1 only, and change the feed source
to "Manual." When it prints, the printer prompts me to stick the
envelope in and it prints, landscape mode.

This might be dependent on your specific printer and print driver.

Re: virt-manager thinks an ISO file is a directory

[Ted Roche]

Is it possible that you have an application that recognizes the .iso
as a disk image and auto-mounts it? When I right-mouse click an iso in
the FIles application, it offers to mount it using Disk Image Mounter.

Issuing "mount" from the commandline yields:

/dev/loop0p1 on /run/media/tedroche/CentOS 7 x86_64 type iso9660
(ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500,uhelper=udisks2)

Re: Screen rapidly blanking on and off

[Ted Roche]

OP once again, attempting to wrest back the topic to a simple Inspiron
5558 i5 laptop, no second adapter, running Intel 5500 graphics.
Previously, while updating F23's updates, including many Intel drivers
and kernel 4.7.7, I continue to see the blanking behavior, in the
console before loading the desktop GNOME system.

One again, invoking xrandr in a terminal within GNOME and issuing
xrandr -r 48 (at the native 1920x1080 resolution) stops the screen
from blanking 1 second after each keystroke. Issuing xrandr -r 60
causes the blanking to restart, and reinssuing the -r 48 restores the
screen to normal operation.

Also, cold shutdown and restart will also clear the behavior. Perhaps
on reboot, the video driver is left in an unstable state.

Update: updated to F24 due to F23 EOL, and running GNOME on Wayland,
not X with this version:

 4.8.15-200.fc24.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 15 23:09:22 UTC 2016 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

installed the latest updates via "Software" and upon reboot, the
machine was blinking again. Initial grub screen is fine and stable,
but dialog for LUKS password, sddm login screen, and GNOME on Wayland
are all blinking.

The xrandr trick no longer works, since Wayland isn't X. Cold shutdown
and restart did resolve the issue.

I find BZ fairly hostile. Can anyone suggest an existing bug report,
or the proper component to post this to?

It's not like ViM releases a new version every week. This one was 10
years in the making.

Typing:

:help version8

from within vim will provide release notes (also available here:

Re: Brother, can you spare a printer?

[Ted Roche]

I have the HL-L2360D laser and had to download and install drivers
from the Brother site to get it to work. It installs a custom PPD and
sets up the printer with a funky address of the form:

dnssd://Brother%20HL-L2360D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=efabcde----decafbad
(ID obfuscated)

However, once I had the port set up, using the brother utility, the

Generic PCL 76/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)

works fine as a driver.

Re: Screen rapidly blanking on and off

[Ted Roche]

OP, here. The Inspiron (5558) has built-in Intel 5500 graphics.

Plugging in an HDMI external monitor and enabling it with the
"Display" applet in Settings causes the internal display to return to
the blanking behavior.The external monitor does not blink.

Using GNOME 3.18.2.

Playing a Youtube video in Chromium on the external monitor causes the
internal laptop display to stop blanking. Scrolling down the page
until the video is no longer visible, and the blanking starts
immediately.

Thinking this is some "blank on inactive" timer gone wild. Any
suggestions on what to look at or poke around in?

More data: if I open YouTube on a tab in Google Chromium and play a

Opening a terminal and typing xrandr yields:

Issuing xrandr -r 48 and the screen is steady and not blanking.

Issuing xrandr -r 60 and we're back to the blanking.

Screen rapidly blanking on and off

[Ted Roche]

I've run into a problem with my Dell Inspiron where the screen blanks
every second, unless I'm typing or moving the mouse. Spinning the
mouse around the screen will keep the screen lit, while typing will
blank between keystrokes, and I'm a fair 70 wpm typist.

This ia Fedora 23 64 bit installation, and I've seen the problem on
all three of the current kernel installs,

Linux jupiter.in.tedroche.com 4.7.4-100.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Sep 15
18:48:53 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hence my post.

Been running Linux since dinosaurs roamed the earth, floppy disks, 110
baud, blah blah blah, many machines, many distros.

This is a new-ish laptop, clean F23 install. Inspiron is one model
down in build quality than my usual and I regret that. I've had to
disasssemble and retighten screws twice to avoid crashes when lifting,
twisting, repositioning screen, etc. This doesn't seem to be a replay
of that, although a click certainly can cause mechanical motion. The
screw tightness problem was causing a full hardware crash, short to
ground, dead box, not a desktop crash, so I'm pretty sure they're
different issues.

GNOME3's not my first choice, just went with the defaults to see how
long until I'm disappointed again and find a new desktop.

So I've narrowed it down to hardware, driver or desktop manager. Now
to vary one factor at a time, gather data, and try alternatives.

Re: Workarounds for Intel video driver X11 crashes

[Ted Roche]

Tom:

The last time I crashed back to the login screen I hit the little
'gear' icon to see what choices I had installed, and I could pick from
"GNOME" "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME with Wayland" (iirc, perhaps not
verbatim). I had been using "GNOME Classic" and thought I'd try
Wayland for the experience. So far, no crashes, but it's only been a
few hours.

Workarounds for Intel video driver X11 crashes

[Ted Roche]

I'm running a Dell Inspiron with an Intel video driver and up-to-date
F23 64 bit installed, GNOME3 desktop. I'm looking for suggestions to
improve stability, as I'm crashing 3 - 4 times a day and can't afford
to lose work in progress in LibreOffice, consoles and Chromium.
Crashes are almost always occurring when I click on a link or UI
element, instantly dropping me back into the login screen. Running
ABRT, I've posted bugs to Bugzilla (see below).

If anyone has a similar setup and had found more stability by
downgrading a driver, tweaking settings or switching desktops, I'd
welcome any suggestions.

Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz × 4
Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)

Re: pdf-stapler

This was discussed last year. I think the mcpdf utility also depends
on iText, which has some licensing issues.

Here is some of that discussion:

I also have client applications that depend on pdftk. My solution was
to switch them to Ubuntu.

F23 GNOME "Terminal I new notification" on login screen

[Ted Roche]

Machine lost power and upon restoration and restart, the login screen
shows "Terminal 1 new notification" though, of course, terminal did
not survive the interuption.

How can I reset that notice? It continues to appear each time I'm back

Well, that makes sense. It wasn't obvious from the man pages nor the

dnf group install with-optional but only some options?

[Ted Roche]

Putting together a development workstation for PHP and Ruby work, and
was hoping the group install option would speed the time picking and
choosing the many packages.

Is it possible to install only one or two of the "Optional groups" or
is it an all-or-nothing choice?

Had a question on the dnf command:

The "Group info" command lists mandatory and optional groups.

# dnf group info "Web Server"
Last metadata expiration check performed 3:19:40 ago on Tue Nov 17
06:30:49 2015.
Environment Group: Web Server
 Description: Server for serving static and dynamic internet content.
 Mandatory Groups:
   Basic Web Server
   Core
   Hardware Support
   Standard
 Optional Groups:
   Guest Agents
   HAProxy
   Java Application Server
   MariaDB (MySQL) Database
   MongoDB
   PHP
   Perl for Web
   PostgreSQL Database
   Python
   Ruby on Rails
   Tomcat


The help for group install in the man pages and
http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html  shows the
'with-optional' phrase:

dnf [options] group install [with-optional] ...

So, the optional groups pretty much include everything except the
kitchen sink, and I wonder if I can avoid installing a couple of
languages and two databases I don't need, or if I should just skip the
group install as an installation technique>

Script/list of everything installed on old F20 box (yum) to new F23 box (dnf)

[Ted Roche]

Hi, folks:

My old development workstation,

$ uname -a
Linux stupidname.mydomain.com 3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12
17:08:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

is finally getting replaced with a new machine,

$uname -a

Linux newstupidname.mydomain.com 4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_x64 #1 SMP Tue Oct
27 4:29:56 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there an easy way to query the database of installed stuff on the
old machine and turn it into a script to run on the new one? I know
there's the old config file, font, and script I installed by hand, but
this would get me a long way toward a working workstation.

I'm sure I can hack something together with

yum list installed

and flub my way through cut, sed, slice but if someone already has a
more elegant solution, I'd appreciate suggestions.

pdf-stapler or pdfshuffler are fine tools if you just want to collate
PDFs, but pdftk did a lot more. I've been using it for years to merge
data into pre-built template PDFs. pdftk has a number of very useful
commands to debug issues with data PDFs.

I haven't found another tool in the Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS distrosthat
lets me do that. I have had to switch a large enterprise client onto
that other popular Linux.

Does anyone have a suggestion for other tools you can use to batch FDF
or similar text data into PDF, controlling the output filenames?

Re: Unwanted blinking notice -

[Ted Roche]

Bob:

What does the flashing notification say?

It doesn't seem to be an exact match for what you are describing, but
I get a confirmation dialog asking me if I want to use FireFox or
another web browser when I flip this setting:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.protocol-handler.warn-external-default

In Thunderbird, hit the menu hamburger icon, then Preferences,
Advanced, Config Editor. Search for:

network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http

This may void your Mozilla warranty, fwiw.

What is it you are seeing? There are a lot of settings in Audacity

Re: Won't stay on this page http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options

It's a problem with the entire website. There's a bad line of code in the
header:

which redirects everyone back to the main page. I've emailed the webmaster
with details.

BTW, you can use wget to download the page and find the links you need from
there. That's how I found the problem.

I got feedback from one of the fedora web people that this is an
intentional thing with the intent  to discourage the use of

I think it could have been handled more gracefully.

 I hope that makes sense.

Apologies if asking you to repeat yourself, but I don't see the previous
messages on this.

What have you tried? What do you see?

The internet is full of Firefox is slow, and here's what to do
postings. Over the years, I've run safe mode (see the man page), started
the Profile Manager (see the man page) and started with a clean profile,
enabled/disabled syncing, disabled all plugins, and disabled Flash, all
in attempts to fix a performance issue. All of which, in various
combinations, resulted in partial, temporary victories.

So, let us know what you've tried, so we can avoid repeating the internet.

Happily running F19 and FireFox 28.0,
