Splash screen -
by Bob Goodwin 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

. For the last several versions of Fedora, back to F-22 and probably before that, when I starttxfce the xffce splash screen I selected is displayed for less than a second and immediately replaced by an ugly gray screen with a "spinning worm" in the center that just does nothing else for perhaps ten seconds, in a vm it is has been nearly 30 seconds! I do "# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target" and startxfce4 from the text screen if that matters ... This is not a real problem but an annoyance, there are times when I reboot several times and I always wonder how I could change this, have looked but don't see where that screen is coming from; it happens on at least three computers and for several versions and I would like to change it if possible. Any suggestions appreciated, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-25b/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

cut & paste to virtual machine in x2go session?
by Tom Horsley 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Obscure question here: If I start a virtual machine on my desktop at home, I can "cut" stuff from other windows on my desktop and "paste" it into windows inside the virtual machine display in virt-viewer. If I access that same desktop system remotely via an x2go session, then doing a "cut" in some app in the remote desktop will not "paste" into a virt-viewer running inside that same remote desktop. I'm wondering why this doesn't work. I'm trying to figure out if I have something mis-configured or if maybe x2go doesn't support some required protocol or where the problem might be. I don't suppose anyone just happens to know the answer to this obscure question?

Reverting to nouveau
by Patrick O'Callaghan 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

Due to ongoing problems with non-functioning hibernation (or rather resuming) I decided to reduce the number of variables by removing the proprietary Nvidia drivers. I did the following: - Removed all Nvidia-related rpms (i.e. everything with Nvidia in the name, i.e.: kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.5-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.3-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-kmodsrc-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.96-2.fc24.i686 akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.4-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.2-201.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-367.44-1.fc24.x86_64 - Deleted /etc/X11/*nvidia* - Deleted the Nvidia blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d - Rebooted I now have a VGA system (640x480). The Nouveau module is not loading at boot. xrandr says "Failed to get size of gamma for output default". So, two questions: a) What am I forgetting? b) Why is switching video drivers so fscking difficult? poc

Taking a screenshot in GNOME desktop during a pulldown menu is open. How to?
by Joachim Backes 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

Hi all, having a problem: I need to take a screenshot on the gnome desktop (no wayland!)with alt+print or shift+print keys, during some pulldown menu of some window is opened, but nothing happens. How can I achive this? The pulldown menu should be included in the screenshot. The screenshot is performed flawlessly if the pulldown menu is closed. It seems that this is a X11 problem. All comments are welcome. Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) Kernel-4.8.3-300.fc25.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/

konsole
by Walter Cazzola 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

Dear all, I'm using fedora 23 on my laptop and I was used to have always open two konsole instances side by side each with different tabs and geometry from working session to another. But since the last update to konsole/KDE the two instances are not saved/reopened correctly. At login I get two konsole instances with the same geometry, in a different position and no tabs at all. So now I have to restart them manually but: - the flag --geometry has been removed so I can't call konsole with the desired geometry - the flag --tabs-from-file opens one extra tab (I've 14 tabs stored but it opens 15 tabs instead) Apart that it is a waste of time to manually restore the session work I can't get it correct. At the moment I'm using: >rpm -qa | grep konsole konsole5-16.08.1-2.fc23.x86_64 konsole-part-4.14.3-10.fc23.x86_64 konsole5-part-16.08.1-2.fc23.x86_64 and plasma 5.7.5 Is that possible to restore the old behavior and save/reopen my session correctly? Thank you in advance for any help Walter --

by Stephen Morris 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Hi, Does anyone know what Gnome-looks.org looks for the determine that Gnome is installed? When I go to Gnome-looks.org it tells me it cannot find Gnome on my system therefore not all of its functionality will work. Is there something that I need installed for Gnome the would enable Gnome-looks.org to know that Gnome is installed and when I am accessing the site I'm accessing it from Gnome? regards, Steve

How do I Install a Theme Into GDM
by Stephen Morris 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Hi, I have downloaded several themes from Gnome-looks.org for GDM, but I can't find any documentation on the net for installing the theme (not just the background picture) that actually works for F24. I've found lots of documentation for updating the default background, but none of that documentation is valid on my system as either the specified picture file doesn't exist in the directory specified or the specified directory doesn't exist. The files I've downloaded are tar.gz files which Gnome-tweak won't accept as being Gnome-shell theme files (I've found lots of doco on the net when searching for updating GDM themes that talk about configuring Gnome Shell). Does anyone have any ideas on where I need to put the extracted directories and how I tell GDM which of those themes to use? regards, Steve
