R as on Ubuntu and Fedora
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I've been learning R on both Fedora and Ubuntu.
I've noticed that Ubuntu has considerably greater support for R than
Fedora (more R deb packages than R rpm packages).
Is there a rationale for this?
Much thanks,
Max Pyziur

OT: force re-download in clasw-mail
by Amadeus WM
I accidentally deleted my inbox messages. I'm accessing my email via pop3
and they are still on the server, but when click "Get Mail" in claws-
mail, nothing happens. Probably claws-mail knows I once had them and
deleted them, so it's not bringing them again.
Is there any way to trick claws-mail into re-downloading my inbox
messages?
Thanks!

OT: digitally signing a PDF file in Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Is there a way to digitally sign a pdf file in Fedora. I have noticed that my colleagues on Windoze and Mucks all append their signatures using "Digitally Signed by...and time" presumaby using Acrobat, but is there a way to do this with something in Fedora? Of course, I prefer an OSS tool.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

samba share without authentication
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I read a lot of smb.conf that are supposed to configure samba to share a
folder without authentication (ie. everybody connected to the LAN can
access this folder) but all these config files are wrong... ie. when I
try to connect to the samba server (f27), from a windows computer, user
name and password are required!
I want to do the same for the printer connected to the samba server:
everyone connected on the LAN can use this printer without user/password...
Is that possible? And how?
Thank you.

gnome-screensaver
by Amadeus WM
I've been happily using the mate desktop until yesterday when, after an
upgrade to F27, I decided to give gnome3 another chance. Knock on wood,
all seems well, except that the screen does not lock.
I always boot to level 3, so I start X at the command line with startx. I
also know that I have to start gnome-screensaver when X starts, and I
tried to do so from gnome-tweak-tool -> startup applications, but I don't
see it listed.
What's the proper way to start gnome-screensaver whith startx?
Thanks!

Yumex Getting Bus Connection/Network Issues

Hi,
Has anybody seen these messages before and know what is causing
them, and hence why yumex is getting them? These are potentially new
since the last system update.

Nvidia Module Tainting Kernel
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I'm using the nvidia drivers from negativo17. I have the nvidia
source module registered with dkms and it seems to be being compiled
when I get a new kernel, if that is the case what do I need to do to
resolve the following messages shown by "dmesg"?
[ 14.934074] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[ 14.934086] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[ 14.934087] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
[ 14.943865] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or
required key missing - tainting kernel

Uefi/csm -
by Bob Goodwin
I ordered another Asrock motherboard to replace the one I haven;t been
able to install Fedora 27 on. The user manual says it can be setup to
boot uefi or legacy bios by enabling csm. I do not need to dual boot
with Windows, only Fedora 27 so it appears to me that the legacy option
is best in my case.
Is that rightor am I missing something?
Bob

basic issue/question -- renaming in mass a bunch of files
by bruce
Hi.
Have a bunch of files with the basic naming of:
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_001__parse.dat
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_002__parse.dat
etc..
I'd like to simply remove the 1st part ztcloud_nfs_parsezt from the
files, renaming the files to the rest of the filename..
Thought it should be simple using rename
rename 's/ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa/aa/' zt*.dat
However, this didn't work... so.. hmm..
How would you guys solve this?
SO has a bunch of different solns as well.
thanks...
