A note of thanks....

Just updated a dual monitor system from F25 to F26 and *everything* went smoothly with one nice surprise. I run the nVidia drivers from RPMfusion on this system. I was expecting, as always happened in the past, that on reboot I'd be looking at a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I was

Mouse middle-button does work well on sound volume control

Dear All, I have just upgraded from F25 to F26, and I am using XFCE. When I try to change the sound volume by using the mouse middle-button on the volume icon (taskbar), it does not work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul ___ users mailing list --

Fedora 26 qemu breaks Win10 guests

Upgraded F25 that had a Win10 guest VM to F26. When the VM got started, the initial logo and the spinning circle came up, but then the display cleared to what appears to be the VGA 648x480 resolution, with gray vertical lines and something else. After a few minutes of this I force-rebooted

F24 QEMU running away at 100% cpu after system resume

This is an ongoing pain in the hind side. All too often, when I resume my F24 system after a suspend, my QEMU is running away at 100% and my F21 image (that I use for a few apps that I like from F21) is non-responsive. The only option, so far, has been to force the image off, then restart
