QtCreator on F29
by Richard Kimberly Heck
Since upgrading to Fedora 29 (yes, I tend to be a bit behind), I've been
having problems using QtCreator as I always have to work on LyX.
Specifically, QtCreator fails to find a lot of included files, with the
result that there are gazillions of 'parse errors' displayed in the
editor. For example, our own generated config.h is not found, and
QtCreator complains that none of the Qt headers are found.
Any idea what has changed or what I might do? I've tried deleting all
the *.creator files, etc.

There are ways around the problem. I use Thunderbird all the time.
This is from Googles help page:
Change account access for less secure apps
To help keep Google Accounts through work, school, or other groups more
secure, we block some less secure apps from using them. If you have this
kind of account, you’ll see a "Password incorrect" error when trying to
sign in. If so, you have two options:
Option 1: Install a more secure app that uses stronger security
measures. All Google products, like Gmail, use the latest security measures.
Option 2: Change your settings to allow less secure apps into your
account. We don't recommend this option because it can make it easier
for someone to break into your account. If you want to allow access
anyway, follow these steps:
Go to your Google Account.
On the left navigation panel, click Security.
On the bottom of the page, in the Less secure app access panel, click
Turn on access.
If you don't see this setting, your administrator might have turned
off less secure app account access.
If you still can't sign in to your account, learn more about the
"password incorrect" error.

The only way to do something is to log in terminal mode and run
kill -9 -1
Also, it may be linked.
I lost partially the gnome setting

I only have

Upgrade 28 to 30
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
To be able to upgrade my fedora 28 to 30, here is the list of packages that I
had to remove.
It is a lot, too much, compared with the previous upgrade.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank.

gnome will not start
by Jon LaBadie
I use Mate as my DE but would like to have gnome
available as well. However I must have a configuration
error I can not find as I've not been able to login to
a gnome environment for about 3 years.
If I create a test user, that user can login to a gnome
environment. But when I try I get one of two results,
either the screen goes blank, never to change, or I
get a gnome flash screen "Opps, something went wrong!".
I've tried deleting all "~/.gnome..." related directories
including those under ~/.config and ~/.local. But still
no joy.
This has been the situation on my desktop system since
about F24 (currently F29) and carried over to a new F29
laptop where I copied most of my home dir from my desktop.
When there were multiple gnome environments available,
Xorg, Wayland, ???, they all fail.
Though I've looked, I may have missed log entries pointing
me to the problem.
Any insight into what might prevent gnome from starting or
how to investigate?
Jon

gnuplot
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I need a gnuplot complied with libcerf
In fedora 28, I recompiled gnuplot from 5.2.5, and every thing was fine.
In fedora 30, I tried several things/
1) recompile the version 5.2.5 from my previous package (source and spec).
But now, it complains because
wxGTK-devel is needed by gnuplot-5.2.5-2.fc30.x86_64
I cannot get a wxGTK-devel compatible with fc30.
wxGTK-devel-2.8.12-31.fc29.x86_64.rpm canot be installed
I cannot find a wxGTK-devel src.rpm (only wxGTK)
2) I recompile gnuplot.5.2.7-1.1.src.rpm from the OpenSuse distribution
But when I want to install, I get:
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/gnuplot/gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty from install of gnuplot-5.2.7-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gnuplot-latex-5.0.6-11.fc30.noarch
I cannot find a gnuplot-latex for fedora 30, and I cannot find a gnuplot-latex.
Previously, I compiled at the same time as gnuplot (gnuplot-wx, etc..), see
point 1).
I am stuck.

F30 window switcher
by Amadeus WM
I have my window-switcher in gnome3 configured to switch only between
windows on the same workspace and not to group windows.
I upgraded to Fedora 30 yesterday and this setting seems to be lost.
Gsettings shows this setting is set to true:
gsettings get org.gnome.shell.window-switcher current-workspace-only
true
Also, this is checked in dconf-editor.
Any ideas how to fix this?
