Re: Thunderbird with mail.corp.redhat.com does not work on Fedora 33

2020-10-01 Thread Harish Pillay
| I've upgraded to Fedora 33 beta and I've discovered a problem with
| Thunderbird. All email accounts work well except the Red Hat one with
| mail.corp.redhat.com as an IMAP server (I use Zimbra servers not Gmail).
| 
| The problem is that Thunderbird does not show any error message but it's not
| able to communicate with the IMAP server. I'm not able to receive any
| message from the server. I'm able to send a message but a copy is then not
| saved to sent folder for the same reason. My first thought was that the
| problem is caused by a downgrade from 68.11 to 68.10 because Thunderbird
| currently FTBFS in Fedora 33 but it does not seem to be so. I've also tried
| to remove the account and add it back but it did not help because I was no
| longer able to log in to my account without any particular error message.
| I've also tried to delete the server's certificates.
| 
| The problem seems to be caused by strict crypto policies in Fedora 33 and
| too small DH key provided by the server.
| 
| $ update-crypto-policies --show
| DEFAULT
| 
| $ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect mail.corp.redhat.com:993 -servername

| * OK IMAP4 ready
| 
| As you can see above, the DH key provided by the server is too small so the
| SSL verification fails. Setting the crypto policies to LEGACY solves the
| issue for me and I am again able to recreate my Red Hat account in
| Thunderbird.
| 
| Hope this helps. I'm going to report this problem to service desk.

Same thing applies to mutt. I've filed this bz:

Given the ability to have different search engines within Firefox (and

option for advertisements, then we all win.

Re: F16-F17 preupgrade (Re: F17 Beta to slip by an additional week.)

I did a preupgrade from F16-F17 on Apr 27 and thankfully, all worked out
- I am posting from that laptop. I am sure I took a big risk but so far, 
so good.

Re: Install Fedora Button for LiveCD

2012-04-08 Thread Harish Pillay
* on the Tue, Apr 03, 2012 at 12:54:46PM -0500, Chris Adams was commenting:
| Once upon a time, Matthias Clasen mcla...@redhat.com said:
|  That really depends on what use cases we see for our live cds. In my
|  view, there's really only two:
|  
|  The primary use for a live cd is to install.
| 
| That's the primary use of the install media.  The primary use of the
| live media is to boot a live system.

There are significant regions where people only get LiveCDs and
not Install CDs - bandwidth, swag handouts at events etc.

So, I think placing the icon/text on the top bar (as proposed 
by the OP), makes things much clearer and obvious. I've gotten
so many questions about how to install from the liveCD, that 
it clearly is something that we should fix and make obvious.

Regards.
