Uninstalling {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi
by Robert Moskowitz
It seems I picked this up when I built this F28 system in both
/usr/lib64/firefox/browser/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi
Seems to be an unpleasant Ads thing. I noticed it because how I run
Thunderbird (from a script in a terminal window) shows the messages:
1528602128990 addons.update-checker WARN Update manifest for
{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} did not contain an updates property
1528688529402 addons.update-checker WARN Update manifest for

{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} did not contain an updates property
The tools I found for removing it are all windows based. How do I get
rid of this? Stop Thunderbird and Firefox and delete the .xpi files?
Thanks

is dictd still alive
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I have dictd installed and encounter some configuration and dictionary
problems. Seeking some help, I found nothing: mailing lists never answer
if you want to subscribe, author never answer... There is web site with
poor explanations.... and so on!
Is this project still alive? Or is it only for some happy few?
Thank you for giving me some lights!

weather satellite loop slow and jumpy: how to monitor gpu load?
by home user
background:
Earlier today, I was trying to view a loop of weather satellite images. The animation speed was set to default, which is about midway between slowest and fastest. But the images were inappropriately slow to load, and the animation was inappropriately slow to advance from frame to frame. I experience this a lot. My desktop has an nVidia GeForce GTX 660/PCIe/SSE2, and I'm using the driver that's from rpmfusion, *not* from nVidia (I don't remember what it's called) proprietary one.
questions:
I've seen somewhere, I don't remember where, that there is a way of monitoring the gpu's busyness or load. I sure would like to be able to do this. I'd like something similar to the cpu plot and process table of "KSysGuard". What tool(s) come packaged with Fedora (27) to do this? If none, what is available in the usual Fedora repositories for this?

Clamav broke

this morning I did a dnf upgrade and clamav was upgraded, since then
clamav will not stay running, the output from "journalctl -xef |grep
clamd". Notice clamav finishes starting up but upon receiving a file to
process it simply closes.
System is Fedora 28 and clamd --version -c /etc/clamd.d/exim.conf
returns:

Changing the timezone in a GUI
by Joe Zeff
I expect to be moving to a different time zone in a few months, and
wanted to make sure that I can easily change the time zone on my
desktop, running F 25 and Xfce. The Time and Date program on my
Settings menu didn't run, but I was able to look in with a menu editor
and see that the command line was:
gnome-control-center datetime
Running that from a terminal worked, once. Later that day, I tried
again, and it had stopped understanding that argument. Since then, it's
not been working. Checking, dnf doesn't recognize the program and
rpm -q --whatprovides gnome-control-center
returns no results. Presumably, the program's an orphan from an earlier
release. I know that I can change the time zone from a CLI with
timedatectl, but that's not the issue. Up until recently, I had a
working GUI program to deal with this and not only did it stop working
for no apparent reason, there doesn't seem to be a replacement. I'm
sure that there are many people using Linux on laptops while traveling
for business, and not all of them are willing to open a terminal just to
change from Pacific to Mountain time, or back. I'm sure that there must
be a way to do it, but I haven't found any. Suggestions?

Did cron files move?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Since upgrading a server to 28 from 27, I can not find
my root's cron file. Mind you, all the jobs are still
firing off like they should.
Did the cron files get moved?
Many thanks,

rpmbuild --define - some rpm sorcerer around?
by lejeczek
hi
how do you pass vars to rpmbuild for definition? eg
rpmbuild --define \'"${_definition2}"\'
I've been fiddling with ways to escape, but none is fricking working..
I mean, rpmbuild rushes to work(no errors nor failure) so if you try
just command line do not believe it, because later as it executes %if
you will see process does not see these definitions.
many thanks, L.

dictd and local dictionaries
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I installed dictd and dict and a bunch of local dictionaries.
I can search a word in the local dictionaries using stardict or
goldendict, but this operation is impossible using dict...
If I do: dict -I or dict -D, I can see a lot of online dictionaries but
none of may local dictionaries....
What's wrong?
Thank you

F28 - Today's updates messed up writing to USB
by Robert Moskowitz
Yesterday, I had no problem writing to a USB device.
Today, with the latest batch of updates (including
selinux-policy-targeted), I could not write to a USB drive. I was under
the gun to get something out, so I rebooted and USB writing worked.
Just a bit of a glitch, but an inconvenience. It takes a bit of work to
get everything set up again.
