Sorry for the misinformation. I thought that workstation had dropped
the netinst image, but I see that it is still there. So yes, that's the
other difference. What I said is still valid for the live workstation
install.

seeing audit messages to virtual consoles, sort of a workaround
by stan
I run the 4.11 kernels on F25. For the last couple of kernels I've
compiled, they constantly write messages from auditd to the virtual
consoles. Working away, and suddenly 10 lines of output appear and
overwrite the console.
The auditd libraries and binaries were also upgraded a couple
times around the time that this started happening, so I'm not sure which
of the two caused this, the kernel or auditd.
I mention it here because the 4.11 kernel is a release kernel now, and
will likely be coming to F25 at some point. If it does, you can try
the below workaround.
Add the following line to the end of /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules.
-a never,exit -S all -F res=success
This isn't a very good thing to do if you are running a server, because
successful system calls can be useful for finding intrusions and
problems. But I don't have any internet facing services, so I'm not
really interested in these. I no longer have the messages appearing in
the virtual consoles.
Of course you can just comment out the
-a task,never
line, and there will be no rules, and thus no messages, because the -D
erases them.
Here's a link to some rules that seem practical for standalone
computers.

The last comment there is pertinent. I am not an expert, so take my
advice with a grain of salt.

Can't log into Google with 2-factor authentication using GNOME Online
Accounts
by Matthew Saltzman
Anybody else have this experience?
I create a Google account in Online Accounts, get prompted for email
address, then password. Then, on the pop-up that should prompt for the
Authenticator code, I see an empty box.
This is up-to-date Fedora 25, so gnome-online-accounts-3.22.5-
1.fc25.x86_64.
Sometime earlier, I had successfully logged into Google on this
machine, but my credentials had expired. I had the same experience
trying to re-authenticate and deleting the account and trying to
recreate it.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Printer address -
by Bob Goodwin
.
Ihave a printer "Bus 005 Device 005: ID
04f9:0063 Brother Industries, Ltd"
connected to my F-25 computer. I don't
want to reset and change it's configuration.
Is there any way to determine the
printer's ip address so that I can view
the existing configuration from my browser.
Normally I would ask it to print its
settings but it has a defective toner
cartridge and I wont be able to do that
until I receive a new one but I would
like to see the config. now.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Bob

Can't get surround sound on new Intel NUC
by Chris Adams
I have a new 7th-gen Intel NUC (NUC7i5BNB), hooked up to an audio
receiver via HDMI. I have tried a bunch of different things, but I am
only able to get stereo audio out of it.
I can connect my notebook to the same HDMI and get surround just fine;
when I select that output, the receiver sees a PCM bitstream, but it
only ever sees stereo from the NUC.
Both systems are up-to-date Fedora 25.

The Case of the Disappearing Scanner
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a Brother DCP-7055W all-in-one laser printer and scanner,
connected by Wifi to my LAN. The printer works perfectly, and the
scanner worked at least up until a couple of weeks ago when I last used
it. Now, it seems to have disappeared. Both simple-scan and scanimage
report no scanners found.
I've reinstalled the RPM package downloaded from brother.com. I've
rebooted Fedora (you never know). I've also checked that the scanner
itself is working (from a Windows laptop).
What else can I try?
