borgbackup on Fedora 30
by Leander Hutton 06 May '19

06 May '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Just a heads up for anyone using borg to do backup on F30, it seems to have a problem with one of its dependencies that causes the program to fail. Python3-msgpack is the issue. Doing a dnf downgrade to the F29 version (python3-msgpack-0.5.6-5.fc29.x86_64.rpm) looks to be a functional workaround for now. Thanks.

PSA: All Firefox extensions are getting disabled, one by one
by Sam Varshavchik 06 May '19

06 May '19

Just an FYI for everyone. After wondering why all my extensions suddenly migrated to the bit bucket in sky, after some digging, searching, browsing, and tweeting, it's a known issue: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be- disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047 Basically, an "all your extensions are belong to us" situation.

OT mouse movement question
by Joe Feely 06 May '19

06 May '19

(I have just acquired a pen mouse, it is basically an optical mouse in the shape of a pen.) A one inch movement of the mouse on a surface, results in a 10 inch movement of the cursor on the monitor (roughly). Is it possible to change this so a one inch mouse movement would result in a two inch movement of the cursor? Joe

F28/Xfce update - lost monitor mirroring
by Robert Moskowitz 05 May '19

05 May '19

Just applied an update. It has been a few weeks since my last update, holidays and such. I use Xfce. I lost mirroring my laptop on the external monitor. All I have is laptop or external or extend to the right. I have had this times past, and fiddling around with the display dialog has been able to enable mirroring. Not this time. The resolution on both is set to 1024x768. I have tried rebooting multiple times and have gone back to the old kernel. But not joy in Mudville. I will be working on building a new system with F30, but meanwhile, I want this system to work with mirroring. Can anyone point me to something to try? thanks

by Tom Horsley 05 May '19

05 May '19

Just wondering what the minimal packages are I need to install to be able to build 32 bit programs in 64 bit fedora 30. Is glibc-devel.i686 the only one, or are other bits and pieces required?

Fedora 30 nvidia
by John Fawcett 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hi Just before I launch into an upgrade to Fedora 30, has anyone had a successful upgrade F29->F30 with nvidia drivers? My graphics card is a bit old by now, latest nvidia driver that supports it is the legacy release 390.116. Thanks John

A stop job is running for Entropy Gatherer Daemon? Really?
by Tom Horsley 05 May '19

05 May '19

I'm frequently rebooting my new fedora 30 install as I test things, and on one reboot I got the entire boot process held up by a stop job for rngd.service. I'm rebooting for God's sake. Why do you need to stop the reboot process to wait till you've gathered enough entropy which will be thrown away immediately on reboot? Can a individual service file be configured to exit immediately on reboot?

Wacom tablets on the XFCE desktop
by Sam Varshavchik 05 May '19

05 May '19

I'm tasked with finding a drawing tablet. From what I found, Wacom tablets seem to have best support, but all references I found were for the gnome-control-center's wacom settings. What about XFCE. Are there any Wacom tablet models that do not require configuring under Gnome, and will work on a stock XFCE desktop.

fedora 30 kdm busted?
by Tom Horsley 05 May '19

05 May '19

I tried switching from gdm to kdm and the kdm "login" came up as nothing but an apparent password entry field in the top left corner of the screen (at least all it did was echo dots when I typed in it). Switched to xdm, and that works much better.
