Evolution and network proxy
by martin.wagner＠mailbit.io
Hi
I'm trying to set up an IMAP account in Evolution (3.24.6-1.fc26) that would connect through a network proxy. I've also have other IMAP accounts in Evolution so I just want this one account to go through a proxy. I thought it would just be to go to Network Preferences and define a custom proxy, but it doesn't work. Evolution displays a question mark next to the account. What I did was to define a Socks Proxy at localhost:9050 and tag this one account to use it. I know that the proxy works fine, because if I tell Gnome to use it in All Settings -> Network that for example Firefox uses that proxy.
Am I missing something here?

cups-browsed regression?
by David A. De Graaf
I've freshly installed Fedora 27 on two machines; neither have a
printer directly connected, but rely on cups-browsed to display the
LAN's printers that are attached to, and managed by other (F26) machines.
Not any more. cups-browsed seems to have lost its ability to detect
automatically those network printers. Is anyone else seeing this? Or
have I screwed up, somehow?
For earlier Fedoras I've edited /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to add:
BrowseAllow 192.168.2.0/24
to restrict browsing to my LAN, but now there's a comment
# If there are no "Browse..." lines at all, all servers are accepted.
so that edit shouldn't be necessary. I've tried with and without it,
but F27 browsing still fails.
In the system-config-printer GUI I can still click thru a bunch of steps
to search for and find those network printers. And then use them. But
that's tedious and much less useful than the previous totally automatic
availability of all printers across the LAN.
Is this a regression?

What the heck is a rc.local stop job?
by Tom Horsley
I just rebooted my fedora 27 partition to get new kernel
running, and I had to hit the reset button because it
stuck here forever:
A stop job is running for /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility
There is no bloody rc.local script that runs on shutdown,
it exists for running stuff at boot. What has systemd
done now and how do I make it stop?

Install Fedora 27 on HP Elitebook Folio 1040: Bootloop
by fedora
Lately, I wanted to install Fedora 27 on the above HW. It uses UEFI
instead of BIOS. Install, that means:
1. Download the Fedora Server Netinstall
Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso and dd it to a micro SD card.
2. Create an approp ks file on the local Web http://install.lan.
3. Boot from the micro SD card and add the ks file link to the linux
boot-line.
4. Let nature take its course
5. Reboot into runlevel 3
6. dnf -y update
7. dnf -y groupinstall “Xfce Desktop”
8 dnf -y install sddm
9. systemctl enable –force sddm
But when rebooting (setp 5) the laptop went into a boot loop. There was
a message showing up for about half a second, which said:
System BootOrder not found. Initializing default.
Creating boot file BOOT0000 with Fedora on file abcdefghik.
Reset System.
Fortunately there is a Boot-Option “Boot from EFI file”, which let me
select the grubx64.efi file as boot file. Using this, the laptop booted
correctly.
Using efibootmgr (efibootmgr -o 0,1,2)I could not set the BootOrder,
i.e. I could set it, but it was lost across the BootProcess. The only
thing, which was saved across the BootProcess was the BootNext option
(set with efibootmgr -n 3).
To automate the BootProcess I did the following:
su -
cd /boot/efi/EFI
cp fedora/grubx64.efi BOOT
efibootmgr -b 0 -l EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi
because: apparently the laptop booted from BOOT0000. The above sequence
made it take the file grubx64.efi from BOOT0000 and boot into fedora.
That was, however, not the end of the troubles: After fedora had booted
and the sddm DisplayManager showed up, I could not enter the password,
because the keyboard was irresponsive. But this is another story, which
I solved by installing Centos 7 on the laptop.

Is there a crypto policy or not?
by Tom Horsley
The /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on my fedora 27 partition says:
# To opt out, uncomment a line with redefinition of CRYPTO_POLICY=
# variable in /etc/sysconfig/sshd to overwrite the policy.
# For more information, see manual page for update-crypto-policies(8).
But there is no CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable setting
in /etc/sysconfig/sshd or in supposed system wide file
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/openssh-server.config I see
referenced in the sshd.service definition.

Maven won't pick up JAVA_HOME
by cen
Perhaps I am just going crazy but maven just won't pick up JAVA_HOME on F27.
1. sudo dnf install maven
2. echo $JAVA_HOME returns
/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-9.0.0.181-7.fc27.x86_64 (which includes bin
dir with JDK tools such as javac, keytool etc so it is JDK for sure)
3. Any mvn command results in
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
Also tried JDK8 and Oracel Java 9
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.151-1.b12.fc27.x86_64
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk-9.0.1
..same result. I feel like there is some hidden config messing me up
or some weird stuff happening. Anyone has an idea what it could be? Last
time I was still on F26 and it worked.

Login Page changed after last fedora 26 update
by ogio spam
Hi all,
before the last updates, after power on, my fedora 26 showed a list of
users and asked for password.
I use KDE.
After last upgrade (I can't remember what changed, but some related to
KDE and X11) the login requires user and password, and it no more lists
users and pictures.
Can someone explain me why every update change the behaviour of the
system? And what appened?
Thankyou
