Iso on USB
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Something strange to me: it is said:
Fedora Media Writer destroys all data on the USB stick. If you need a non-destructive write method (to preserve existing data on your USB stick) or support for 'data persistence', you can use the livecd-iso-to-disk utility on Fedora.
Then,
livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso /dev/sdX
where X
could be (if I am correct) c (/dev/sdc)
Why this will preserve the USB stick?
I would have understand if it was /dev/sdc1 (or something else).
Doing livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso /dev/sdc
would preserve my partitions sdc1, sdc2 ?
I am missing something.
Thank.

Subject: Re: anyone using openvpn?
….
given the problems i surmounted getting this far makes me wonder it openvpn is really up to the task.
>>Deployed it over 40,000 times, so, yes
how about this. is your vpn integrated with NetworkManager?
>> No
if so, how did you manage the routing table?
that is, when enp4s0 comes up, its the default route. once tun0 comes up, my setup barfs & does no routing table updating (for up & dwn) and ignores routing entirely.
at least this is what i think i am seeing.
>> We also noticed that routing and name-resolving faced deterioated quality ☺
However, this was due to systemD quirkiness

WG looks nice, but it can not deal with smart cards (yet, I hope it will be added).
Also it lacks encapsulation; essential for punching restrictive firewalls.

Using openvpn intensively, and on large population.
Though not (yet) on Fedora.
By the way “on fedora commercially” ?
If you use the code commercially, shouldn’t you switch to Red-Hat?
Kind regards.

google-chrome weirdness
by Tom Horsley
Google-chrome has started rendering the "Oswald" web
font with all the characters in a string mostly on top
of one another, but only for my user.
See: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Oswald
If I create a completely new user, log out and log back
in as new user, google-chrome works. That web page
above renders just fine.
If I merely rename ~/.config/google-chrome and run
google-chrome as my original user, it still screws up
the font.
So who knows where besides ~/.config/google-chrome
google-chrome will get information? Because something
about my user screws it up even when I try to start
from scratch with no saved profile.

Konqueror :-{
by Beartooth
When did Konqueror become enslaved to Google? Is there a way to
liberate it? Or at least to get it back to displaying man pages?
I don't use Google, except by way of Duckduckgo or other privacy-
providing intermediary. In fact, my main and almost only use of Konqueror
is for man pages, which fonts big enough for my ancient eyeballs format
unreadably elsewhere. (I run Mate, and if I could find a second string to
Brasero that I could count on, I could uninstall all of KDE.)

Fedora 30 and problem with monitor resolution detection in gdm/Gnome?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have an Intel Skull NUC, model NUC6i7KYK, with Intel video adapter
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Pro Graphics 580
(rev 09)
detailed specs here:
https://www.intel.it/content/www/it/it/products/docs/boards-kits/nuc/nuc-...
It is connected to a Dell U2515H:
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/06291c
It was initially installed with F29 (with Wayland disabled in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf) and used resolution always being 2560x1440.
Almost when F30 was released I upgraded and no problems until today.
When powering on I see no user icons in gdm.
So I switched to sddm and lxdm and there I was able to see my users login,
but both trying Gnome session and Mate session it seems I don't see the top
bars.
While in Mate with Alt+F2 I opened a terminal window and executed xdpyinfo.
Strangely it reported a not possible resolution....
screen #0:
dimensions: 5120x1440 pixels (1354x381 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
root window id: 0x162
depth of root window: 24 planes
So I decided to force 2560x1440 with this file, named 00-monitor.conf and
put into directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ml522neE-l6hsGKtGXnWHnz2cpxCsuJO/view?us...
After reboot still gdm is not able to show me any user icons (perhaps it
doesn't use the conf file), and again using lxdm and sddm and choosing
Gnome session I don't see top bar and other things.
Instead, i can use without any problem Mate and now I can see the top bar
and correctly use the session.
Opening xdpyinfo from a terminal I correctly get what forced:
screen #0:
dimensions: 2560x1440 pixels (677x381 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
root window id: 0x162
depth of root window: 24 planes
Things above let me think about a problem in Gnome itself, impacting gdm
too..
Yesterday evening while connected I updated as from this log, without
rebooting:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10F-i8ogYAuXIouAC0o6t3DZ08yLz_q15/view?us...
And I think this update generated the problem, because this evening after
booting I had it.
I tried to switch to a terminal and update again and I got these packages'
updates:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUdZVlwLakIEjm8Y7ybx8m2cMhIEzlFS/view?us...
and reboot but still the problem is here...
Anyone experimented this?
Thanks
Gianluca
