Tab Completion Broken

I have two files: SUM-12_schematic.pdf VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.1-1379776.x86_64.txt Doing: # ls SUM works as expected and completes the filename but doing: # sh -f VMw does not work. The filename is not completed. Clearly someone is trying to "help" me and not complete a file that sh

gnome-terminal --display-factory

I have been using this external editor command for the Sylpheed mailer: gnome-terminal --disable-factory -x vim '%s' This allows launching a terminal with vi so that I can capture shell command output, edit things with vi and insert files and such. This is a very powerful and important

Does mDNS play well in regular DNS env?

Is mDNS supposed to coexist with DNS? I have a proper DNS server but if I just try to ping an FQDN it tries mDNS UDP 5353 which fails. OTOH I just installed my printer and I'm guessing mDNS helped with that so maybe mDNS is something I need? I have no experience with mDNS but I am assuming that

Dell E7470 Install: No bootable device found

I just tried to install F24 and everything went smoothly but after reboot I just get "No bootable devices found". I've been using Linux as my primary machine since kernel 2.0.35 and my instinct tells me this looks like the bootloader wasn't installed correctly. Is this a known problem? When I

New(er) kernel RPMs?

I just got a Dell Latitude E7470. Mostly works with the latest Fedora live. However, attaching an external monitor to the HDMI port hangs the machine. I've been using Linux as my primary machine long enough to know that it smells very much like a driver issue and that the only way I'm going to

I'm trying to boot the latest Fedora Live iso on a brand new Dell and I'm getting: Selected boot device failed What is the trick to getting this to boot? I just dd'd the iso on the USB drive. Do I need to make it bootable or some such? I updated the BIOS to the latest. I verfied everything
