PHP/Apache issue may be OT
by Emmett Culley
After a recent upgrade some development web sites served from my workstation stopped working. I've narrowed it down to the php_value auto_prepend_file directive not working.
This is in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/csite.conf file:
<Directory /var/dev/csite>
Require all granted
AllowOverride none
php_value error_log /var/dev/logs/caiet_error_log
php_value auto_prepend_file /var/dev/csite/site/host-map.inc
</Directory>
The file /var/dev/csite/site/host-map.inc does not get loaded and this causes a 500 error. I've tried configuring apache as MPM = "prefork" (the new default seems to be "event"), but that made no difference.
Note that five other sites that use the auto_prepend_file directive no longer work either. All other development sites on my workstation work as expected.
Any ideas where to look further would be appreciated. Fedora 27 is fully up to date.

Libreoffice 100% CPU usage
by Alessio Ciregia
Just now I've spotted that any Libreoffice program is reported by top
command as using 100% of CPU time (and in fact the fans of the laptop
are spinning
furiously).
I'm on F27 x86_64, and this happens even with with libreoffice 5.4.4.2-1
and 5.4.4.2-2 (updates-testing).
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Where can I look to debug it?
Ciao,
A.

Re: how to change emails [correction]
by Paul Allen Newell
Ed (and anyone else who is seeing this):
This email got sent from my new email address and I apologize as I was
trying to make sure I didn't use it on fedora lists until I had it
switched in fedora's records. I am switching the from and cc (to me)
back to the current (to be old email)
Changing emails after 20+ years is madness ...

usb wifi dongle for f27
by JD
Which chipset will work for a usb wifi dongle without having to go
through the rigmarole of finding proprietary drivers and firmware?
I would like it to work right out of the box, without having to first
run updates.
Thanx!

Old peeve still in 27
by Beartooth
Is it me?? I keep three or four PCs on my desk (behind a Trendnet
KVM switch), plus other machines elsewhere; the desk trio are all running
F 27, Mate/Compiz. One old bad thing and a similar new one, irritating at
best, are happening.
The old one is that the size of my Mate Terminal, particularly
its font, often changes when I reboot. So I have to re-edit half a dozen
profiles before I can use them: the new size is usually either eye-
splittingly small to read, or so big that no ordinary sentence will stay
on a single line.
The new and worse one is that the same thing has started
happening to my panels. (I keep four, with lots of launchers on each.)
Enlarging a panel makes several launchers disappear; as it is, I have to
keep a couple smaller than I like in order to make stuff fit.
If something in my configs is doing this, what, and how can I fix
it? If it's Fedora, let me know what more data to supply, please!

Apache Server Support in Fedora 27
by Stephen Morris
I have been trying to build Apache 2.4.29 from the source files provided
upstream (the Apache foundation doesn't provide binaries for rpm based
systems) by using rpmbuild to compile the source into various binary rpm
files that I can then install into Fedora 27. In doing this the process
identified a number of devel dependencies that needed to be installed.
One of these dependencies was DISTCACHE which does not appear to be in
the Fedora 27 repositories, nor the F26 or F25 repositories, and from
investigation on the net seems to have disappeared some time after F18.
I did find an rpm for distcache for Centos 6 which 'rpm -ivh' indicated
it successfully installed but both yumex and dnf refuse to acknowledge
its existence. To work around this I tried to do an rpmbuild --rebuild
of the distcache source rpm I had downloaded but it failed with a
dependency on SSLeah which I can find in the Fedora repositories either.
After going through all these hassles I was looking in through Yumex for
something else and found an installed package called HTTPD which it
indicates is Version 2.4.29 of the Apache Server. Given the hassles I
mentioned above, how were they worked around to build the httpd binaries?
I've gone down this path because I'm trying to do tutorials on JSF 2.2
development in Eclipse Oxygen, and I have up till now been using Tomcat
as my web server, but Tomcat doesn't appear to have JSF support out of
the box and I have been able to get adding support into Tomcat to work.
Hence I'm now trying to go down the path of using a web server that has
JSF support out of the box, which I believe Apache does, but if this
doesn't prove successful or it is too difficult to interface Apache to
eclipse I could potentially switch to Glassfish.
regards,
Steve

pointers to c++-related development packages for fedora?
by Robert P. J. Day
yes, a rather wide-open request, but i've been asked to give a
couple courses on C++11, and part of what i want to put together is a
list of fedora packages that aid in the development process -- things
like alternative compilers (clang), debuggers, static code analyzers
and so on.
i don't need to become intimately familiar with all of it, the
students simply want pointers to fedora packages that they can examine
later on their own time to assist the development process.
so ... thoughts? i'll collect suggestions and put together a wiki
page at some point.

Sending a message
by JD
I would like to send a message to the person or group
that created some of the spins of f27 (in particular,
the builders of the mate DT spin of f27).
How would I proceed to do this?
P.S: I do know that the spins of f27 are NOT supported by the fedora team.
Thanx!!!

triple head
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I recently added a 3rd screen to my setup (a laptop and 2 external
screen, one on each side) and since every single application or window
from that application opens in full screen. It was not behaving like
this when I had only dual head. Is this normal or is there some
configuration to do which I missed?
Or could it be a bug eventually?
Thank you.

A FOSS "what-if" app/tool for arranging furniture within a
well-defined space (bedroom/dining room)
by Kenneth Wolcott
Hello;
I'm looking for advice about what tool/app you would use on Fedora
(or any Linux distro) so that one could experiment graphically with
the placement of furniture in a well-defined space.
Here's the real deal. I have a pair of desks, a three-seat
reclining couch, two side tables, a two-drawer horizontal filing
cabinet and a small dining table. These would all go in the
dining/living room. I have a queen-size bed, two side tables, a stand
of drawers and a nice cedar chest. These would go into the bedroom.
I have the dimensions of the dining/living room and the bedroom. I'd
like to do a "what-if" analysis graphically, manually, on arranging
the furniture.
Would you use Open Office Draw? Is there a better app/tool for this?
Is there a template that would help? Perhaps the "dia" app? Perhaps
the answer is staring me in the face and I don't recognize it.
Thanks in advance for the advice/pointers,
Ken Wolcott
