inkscape
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I use inkscape, but the behavior that I get is not that is explained
in line. Typically, I do not get the palette tool box.
https://www.wikihow.com/Use-the-Fill-and-Stroke-Functions-in-Inkscape
It results that I cannot open a fill and stroke, and I cannot set an
arrow for example.
Is is a bug or a configuration issue?
Thank for your help.

Shotwell and photo manager in general
by Timothy Ward
Hi,
It is unfortunate that with the use of mobile phones being used more
amd more with their camera apps that Linux Photo managers have not been
fully udgraded to download the camera images from smart phones easy,
although some do the best thay can, their seems to be a work required
to make it a seamless experience when plugging a smart phone in a Linux
computer. Library's and applications are available and being upgraded
but still lack the programming and refinement and is probably related
to the spare time and help that the developers have to implement new
features for smart phones and attend to issues with the software as a
whole.

rsync -- permission denied issues
by bruce
Hi.
Doing a test to "clone"/cpy a test vm from a base server to a target server
the user on the base/target server is a basic user.. not in the sudoers file
from the base server.. the rsync cmd is similar to
rsync --excludefile='foo.dat' / test_user@1.2.3.4:/
I'm getting a bunch of permission denied/operation denied errs...
I've turned selinux off on both the base/target server for this process..
I've thought of iterating through the process and adding to the
exclude file the dirs generating the permission errs..
Any thoughts on a soln to this?
Also, for legitimate files that are owned by other processes/users
that should be copied. Any thoughts on how to cpy them, without
generating the permission errs?
I can post/paste as much information as needed..
thanks

Epson XP-860: available printer driver won't print in duplex
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Recently I bought an Epson XP-860, to replace the XP-810 that finally
quit on me after many long years of service.
But when I went to install a printer driver, I found that duplex
printing is simply not available.
It might or might not be significant that the recommended printer
drivers are Epson XP-820 CUPS/Gutenprint drivers, regular and simplified.
I tried installing the Epson Printer Utility from the Epson site. But
that doesn't seem to do anything to make full duplex available.

certificate expiry
by Eyal Lebedinsky
As of a month ago I started getting warnings from certwatch saying
The certificate for Certificate Shack has expired
and
The certificate for Frank Alpha has expired
which have now expired a week ago.
I wanted to find out who these hosts are and should I care about the expired certs.
So far I found these two (and no others) mentioned in the file
-rw-r----- 1 root apache 65536 Jan 26 2014 /etc/httpd/alias/cert8.db
which is an old file which seems to be part of the mod_nss package.
Are these real certs? Test ones left there for no reason?
If they are not needed then what is the correct way to remove them, short of
removing the nss_mod module.
TIA

Hmm . . not sure what happened - I just did what I normally do (which
used to work):
- reply to the list
- change the subject appropriately
- edit out extraneous digest stuff and add my response to the
appropriate thread
That should have retained whatever threading was involved?
Now that I think about it . . I'm not sure how that CAN work . .

I posted a "SOLVED" followup - this fixed the problem:
dnf update cups-filters
systemctl restart cups
but thanks for the journalctl approach - I will add that to my
collection of READMEs!
Regards,
Phil.
