Fedora-MATE-Compiz
by Maksym Bilak
Hello.
Using this mailing list, I would like to contact the developers of the
Fedora-MATE-Compiz distribution. I would be very grateful for solving
the problems described below.
1. By default, the keyboard shortcut for the Toggle screen reader is not
assigned in the distribution. Could you assign a keyboard shortcut super
+ alt + s to the Toggle screen reader? This key combination has already
become a peculiar standard.
It will make life easier for people with visual impairment ...
2. When installing the system on a hard drive, closer to the end of the
process, the Orca screen reader suddenly turns off (I hear Screen Reader
Off). I can easily restart Orca; But this situation will cause
discomfort for less experienced users.
There are no special conditions to reproduce the situation. Just try
installing the system on your hard drive by turning on Orca.
3. I do not know if this is a bug. When installing Fedora-Workstation,
selecting the Ukrainian language in the first dialog, I saw that the
time zone was configured correctly (Europe Kyiv). Fedora-MATE-Compiz
automatically adjusts the time zone (America New York).
I installed both systems without connecting to the Internet.
4. Add, please, the NetworkManager-ppp package to future releases. This
will allow users who do not have an alternative to the mobile Internet
to connect to the Internet without additional manipulations.
5. Using the Ukrainian MATE interface, I can not configure the keyboard
shortcuts to switch between keyboard layouts.
Steps to reproduce:
5.1. Ukrainian interface language MATE;
5.2. Press Alt + F1 to enter the main menu;
5.3. Submenu Система (System);
5.4. Submenu Налаштування (Preferences);
5.5. Submenu Пристрої (Hardware);
5.6. Activate an item Набірниця (Keyboard);
5.7. Select a tab Розкладки (Layouts);
5.8. Click the button Параметри (Options...).
After that, "Keyboard" closes and the focus falls onto the desktop.
I also note that this problem is missing when using the English-language
interface of MATE.
This problem is absent, for example, in the distribution of Ubuntu-MATE.
I would be very grateful for the attention to these problems; And sorry
for my bad English.

Select packages missing from repo
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora28 machine that was upgraded from fedora25 and having
some problems with some packages showing as unavailable from the repo.
perl-Encode is one such package. On one machine "dnf info perl-Encode"
shows the package is available, but on others it is not.
# dnf info perl-Encode
Last metadata expiration check: 2:30:58 ago on Fri 20 Jul 2018 12:28:10 PM EDT.
Error: No matching Packages to list
What could cause this? I've tried running "dnf clean all" then
re-running the dnf info command with no change.
The following is the [fedora] section of /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:
# cat fedora.repo
[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasev...
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
repo_gpgcheck=0
type=rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch
skip_if_unavailable=False
What more can be done to troubleshoot this?

No desktop in tweak (fedrao 28)
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
After the upgrade to fedora 28, I lost the tab "Desktop" under tweak.
I found this:
You need to install in this folder name
https://github.com/Ste74/org.gnome.desktop-icons-reworked/blob/master/met...
For an accident i forgot the -shell in the name
But I do not understand.
Some help?

Hello,
The Numerical pad cannot be used with fedora 28.
This is an old issue, but it is still not solved.

Odd ARP entry
by Jeffrey Ross
looking at the arp table on my system I see that I have one entry that
shouldn't be there -
proxy10.fedoraproject.org (209.132.181.15) at 50:3d:e5:f5:b6:c0 [ether]
on enp0s25
First, the subnet this machine lives on is 172.18.19.0/24 and all of the
other arp entries are correct as they are for hosts on my subnet. The
MAC address listed for "proxy10.fedoraproject..." is my router which
tells me that my router is supplying a proxy-arp response which I'm ok
with, at least for now.
So my questions are -
1) Why is this fedora system not following the routing table to reach
209.132.181.15, there is no route other than default that would match
this network
2) More importantly why is this machine trying to reach
proxy10.fedoraproject.org ??? (currently there are no open sessions to
this destination)
System is Fedora 28 with all the latest updates, and I have no
recollection of ever configuring a fedoraproject proxy.

file own by 2 packages
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Doing:
rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf
I get
texlive-base-2016-33.20160520.fc26.1.noarch
R-core-3.4.4-1.fc26.x86_64
showing that /usr/share/texmf
belongs to 2 different packages.
How can I remove it from one package?
This gives an issue when I try to update my distribution.
My Best.

Bug 1577224
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Updating from fedora 26 to feora 28, I get the error:
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/texmf conflicts between attempted installs of R-core-3.4.4-1.fc28.x86_64 and texlive-base-7:20170520-37.fc28.x86_64
It seems that it is a bug, but I am not sure that it has been solved properly.
Anyway, what should I do now?
Stop the upgade?
Remove one of the packages?
Thank.

That means the nfs server isn't running....
I have a Fedora server now up on my end running F28....
Do you have something like this?

Which is better? Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming
Good evening from Singapore,
I am torn between deploying Microsoft Exchange 2016 and Linux-based
SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim.
Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important
consideration factor.
Microsoft Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are
relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are
extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely
time-consuming.
One of the features of Microsoft Exchange 2016 is that you can create
additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can
Linux-based SMTP servers do that?
Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based
SMTP servers?
Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally,
Linux is far more secure than Windows.
Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share?
Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually.
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
