What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth
Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to
stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora-
native ebook reader!

F30 Lenovo x140e - no wifi
by Robert Moskowitz
I have been using ethernet up to now. I went to enable the wifi, to see
no wifi listed.
It has been too long since I have had to do this troubleshooting. Can
some point me to what I need to look at to find what the Fedora thinks
is the wifi?
thanks

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled
nautilus.
I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker
and its things
And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a
normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and
tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes..
Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least
calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that
several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment.
Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom
I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora
firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site.
That site will be the place I present services to the world;
httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers"
and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net;
if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the
colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address,
and I am not opening any inbound ports.
There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive
are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html )
and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that
one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have
simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth,
and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the
main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail.
Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is
there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to
break with FC1 or FC2?

F30: latest kernel no external monitor
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
executed "dnf update" after about 15 days of inactivity.
Updates has brought in kernel 5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64
But after reboot the system is not able to detect (in the sense of no
monitor connection at all seen) when connecting a 24" Dell monitor using an
usb-c to hdmi adapter on my laptop and then connecting an HDMI-to-dvi cable
to the monitor, that I normally used before.
Tried to reboot two times without effect.
As soon as I restart with previous kernel 5.1.20-300.fc30.x86_64, external
monitor detection and usage is ok again.
This is in default Gnome environment and Wayland.
Eg in gnome terminal I have:
$ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type
Type=wayland
and
$ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
wayland-0
Anyone else with similar problems?
If you point me on how to get related log lines in journal in both working
and not working configurations, I can get more info.
Seen on several threads that with Xwayland and gnome-shell not so easy to
see startup log files...
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Notifications
by Danishka Navin
Hi,
Imagine no user logged in to neither GUI nor CLI but a background service
is running.
Is it possible to send a notification to GUI after completion of the
processing running on the background?
I have checked notify-send but could not find such a specific example.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

grub regression in f30
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I have an nvidia graphic card and since at least f27 I had a high
resolution (1280x1024) on the console screen during the boot. This is no
more the case in f30. Why?
I use the nvidia driver from rpm-fusion, nouveau does not work with my card.
Thank you.

pip and python version
by Robert Moskowitz
I am getting dreadful warnings about my version of python when I run
pip. So I asked about this with the developers of the script I use
(xml2rfc). I bit of version testing and:
$ pip --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)
$ pip2 --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)
$ pip3 --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
and
$ ls -ls /usr/bin/pip*
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2 -> ./pip-2.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2.7 -> ./pip2.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2.7
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3 -> ./pip-3.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3.7 -> ./pip3.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3.7
24 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 22816 Jun 19 10:44 /usr/bin/pipewire
so pip does not seem to be a symlink to pip2, but perhaps just a copy?
I suspect I will still be running F30 come Jan 2020 when Python 2.7 gets
the axe:
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st,
2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after
that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.
Do I need to do anything, or will this be self-correcting come the new year?
thanks
