Network printer
by Matti Pulkkinen 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hello! It seems like the term "network printer" often refers to printers which are connected to a computer, which then shares that printer out to the network. There are tomes and tomes of arcane configuration manuals for getting this sort of printing to work. However, there are also printers with ethernet ports, and I would like to know if anyone has experience getting one of these kinds of printers to work on Linux. Do you just plug the printer in to your network, turn it on, and see it appear in print dialogs on your computer, or is the process more involved than that? -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

Dnfdragora Fails With Unexpected error: <class 'KeyError'>
by Stephen Morris 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hi, Dnfdragora shows the above message when run from the CLI after it has parsed all the available repositories. How do I identify whether it is an issue with one of the repositories being used (without disabling all repositories or moving them to another directory) or whether it is an internal error? regards, Steve

ThinkPad P1: Fedora 32 USB boot
by Dan Kenigsberg 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hi, I've got a new ThinkPad P1 and want to install Fedora 32 on it. I prepared a USB stick with the workstation ISO from https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/32/Workstation… . I boot from it and opt to test the media. Testing is very very slow and fails after %004.9 or so. "Faulty media", you'd guess. However the same USB stick passes just fine when sticking it into my older ThinkPad T460p. "Faulty USB port on the P1 machine", you'd guess. However, the P1 machine boots well when sticking to it a Windows 10 boot media (please don't ask me why I have that available). Has anybody seen something like this, or has a clue that would help me put Fedora on my P1? Regards, Dan.

Fedora rescue
by Geoffrey Leach 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

Recently I needed to fsck my /home partition to get the kernel to boot. No problem, as I was unable to boot from the LiveCD and umount the partition. But what if the problem was with the root? LiveCD has that one mounted and in use. In days gone by, there was a rescue mode on the Fedora install disk. No more, it seems. Is there a solution for this? Thanks.

Maybe the cable is bad?
by Tom Horsley 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

I was getting an infinite number of "Maybe the cable is bad" errors in dmesg about a usb port. It insisted on referring to "usb2-port5" when everything else in linux talks about things like 0000:00:14.0 or lsusb says things like Bus 001 Device 004. Is there some reference somewhere on the internet to translate between all the different ways linux talks about usb ports? It would be really handy to be able to know what it is talking about instead of having to unplug every usb cable one at a time. Incidentally: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 045b:0210 Hitachi, Ltd is an external usb disk and is definitely NOT the usb2-port5 it was yelling about. That message finally stopped when I unplugged a USB hub that lsusb didn't mention 2 or 5 about :-(. (I think I plugged a well and truly broken usb device into the hub a day or so ago and it permanently confused it till I unplugged the hub - that device now resides in the electronics recycle bin at the nearby dump :-).

Mouse middle - button not working
by Paul Smith 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Dear All, I would like to enable the mouse middle-button to paste what is selected. It worked fine before, but not now. I do not know whether the cause is that the mouse is a different one or some configuration is missing. Thanks in advance, Paulo

not a block device -
by Bob Goodwin 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Can someone tell me how to make this work? [root@WS1 bobg]# livecd-iso-to-disk /home/bobg/Downloads/Win10_1909_English_x64.iso /run/media/bobg/4C60-B824 ERROR: '/run/media/bobg/4C60-B824' is not a block device I found this in my notes, apparently Sam Sieb suggested it as a method of writing to a storage device, a flash drive in this case. -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA FEDORA-32/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

gedit shortcut keys - did you know?
by Max Pyziur 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Accidentally I hit ctrl-; in gedit and it brings up a window pane allowing the selection of emojis. I can't find this as a documented feature. What else am I missing? Also, can something like this be done in vim? Thanks, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com
