Fedora 27: Remmina and VNC incoming connection
by Dario Lesca
After last remmina update (1.2.0-0.51.20180408.git.6b62986) the VNC
incoming connection (Plugin VNCI) is go away.
Now it's any more possible to start a reverse connection, like previous
version (1.2.0-0.42.20170908git205df66) allow to do (I have do a "sudo
dnf downgrade remmina --allowerasing" to verify).
Is this a bug and I must be fill a bugzilla or the VNC incoming
connection now it is done in another way?
Many thanks

Plymouth splash screen -
by Bob Goodwin
.
On this updated Fedora 27 with XFCE I have attempted to change the
Plymouth screen several times, re-booted each time, and it always comes
back with the same theme, I think it is called "spinner." I have another
similarly configured computer and the same procedure worked without any
problem.
bobg]# Plymouth-set-default-theme tribar -R
bobg]# Plymouth-set-default-theme
tribar
Although it shows the change to "tribar" it continues to display the
original "spinner" when I reboot.
The man page shows no command for removing the existing theme?
It's a very minor problem but it should work on both of these computers,
not just one ...
Any suggestions, other than forget it?

boot menu does not see Windows after Fedora 27 Install
by PropAAS DBA
All;
I just installed Fedora 27 on a server with 2 internal hard drives.
Windows was already installed on the first hard drive, I added a second
internal hard drive and installed Fedora on the second drive only.
However there is no option to boot into windows when the boot screen
comes up. Can someone point me in the right direction to add the
windows drive to the boot menu?
Thanks in advance

[MySQL & MariaDB in Fedora] MySQL 8.0 release, testers welcomed
by Michal Schorm
Hello everybody!
I want to share a quick overview of MySQL and MariaDB packages through
Fedora. Brand new releases are available!
*Available software and channels:*
MariaDB 10.1 - F26 base; F27+28+Rawhide COPR
MariaDB 10.2 - F27+F28+Rawhide base
MariaDB 10.3 - F27+F28+Rawhide COPR
MySQL 5.7 - F26+F27+F28 base
MySQL 8.0 - Rawhide base
The MySQL 8.0.11
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26552849> is a hot new
wares; MariaDB 10.3 is expected to grow GA and land in the Rawhide soon.
*Modules & Containers:*
Modules are in progress.
In order to allow users to use alternative version of MariaDB and MySQL
servers in Fedora, we're working on modular builds.
In the end, users will be able to use either newer MariaDB 10.3 and MySQL
8.0, or older MariaDB 10.1 and MySQL 5.6 versions in Fedora releases where
we have MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 5.7 by default.
We are trying to ship also the Fedora Containers.
*Their quality right now may vary, as the infrastructure for them for both
building and using is still beeing developed.*
*COPR:*
mschorm/mariadb-10.1
mschorm/mariadb-10.3
mschorm/mysql-8
*Connectors:*
A huge amount of work was made on following packages:
mariadb-connector-c
mysql-connector-odbc
mariadb-connector-odbc
They should now work better then ever before.
The connector C allowed us to divide the server and client for both usage
and building dependend software.
*Information, help, tutorials, tips & tricks:*
Lately, I wrote several pages on the wiki, clearing up the situation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_MariaDB
Are you completely new to those databases && you speak Czech?
Several great articles waits for you:
https://mojefedora.cz/jak-zprovoznit-mariadb-10-1-server-pro-vyvoj/
Do you have problems with the server start?
"journactl -xe" or "/var/log/..." can help you.
In some cases (mostly unusual re-installations) "/var/lib/mysql/" needs
some cleaning.
*Testing needed:*
I'd love you all to try out the MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.3.
Explore the Copr, try out the modules, meet the container images.
*I managed to prepare MySQL 5.7.22 update in less than 20 hours, but it
lies in BODHI untouched.I use BODHI auto-push, so I encourage you to test
them before they land in stable.*
*Bugs:*
File them! Let me know!
My bugzilla doors are always open as well as my mail inbox :)

Mate terminal on reboot
by Beartooth
Until very recently, if I left my Mate terminal open when
rebooting, it would come back up with the same seven tabs, set to the
same profiles in the same sequence, as before. I had adapted the number
and arrangement, long before Gnome3, to the things I do; once it's
established, my fingers know their routines, saving me unneeded conscious
thought.
Now it comes up with a single tab, set to the default profile; so
I have to re-open and re-set all the rest. I don't see an item in the
Control Center, nor on the Main Menu, that controls this.
How do I get my multiple tabs back??

Weird repo problem
by Danny Horne
Hi all,
I have a PC and laptop both running Fedora 27 Workstation and both fully
updated, they both have an identical set of repos installed and
enabled. The only difference is the PC has Wine installed. For reasons
I won't go into I have to reinstall Wine occasionally but I can't find
it in either the 'Software' app or via dnf, dnf doesn't show any of the
core Wine packages.
Trying 'dnf search wine' on the laptop shows Wine and all it's ancillary
packages, but nothing is showing on the PC so I can't uninstall or do
anything with it. I've tried 'dnf clean all' but that doesn't help.
Anyone any clues what's going on?
Thanks for looking
