rkhunter warning
by François Patte 05 Sep '21

05 Sep '21

Bonjour, Since I upgraded to f34, rkhunter is warning me with this file: Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/share/man/fr/man1/..1.gz: symbolic link to builtins.1.gz Asking rpm -qf /usr/share/man/fr/man1/..1.gz, it returns that this file belongs to the man-pages-fr package. rkhunter --propupd does not change anything, every day rkhunter sends me a warning mail... Which of these two must be believed: rkhunter or rpm -qf? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822

OT: RGB mechanical keyboard
by Frederic Muller 04 Sep '21

04 Sep '21

Hi! This is a bit borderline but since I guess everybody is using a PC here (or a MAC...) you probably have a keyboard too... I recently (less than a year) got a mechanical keyboard (Logitech G512 - liked the 512 number...) and it's been complicated. I initially offered one to my wife, she loved it and "forced" me to get one too. I had to wash it dismantling the keys, putting them in soap and water, drying them, etc. I also bought a small hover to suck the potential dust creating problems (or ... something else). After less than a year both keyboards have been back under warranty, one because of the RGB lights breaking on some keys, the other one because of keys not working after a few hours of work (that's mine). When having problems (like the space bar, C key, arrows, etc stop working) I eventually took other keyboards I already have, and then I really missed the 'typing quality' of the mechanical one. I also appreciate that the Logitech keyboard do have Free Software projects allowing you to control each key and set up the lighting the way you want. You can even do (keyboard) games with those. I however suffered all those (un)typing issues and am disappointed by the overall quality. 2 keyboards, 2 went back under warranty (1 replaced, 1... waiting for it). So let's say I am hooked with the technology but... Do you guys know of any keyboard with similar typing quality but with durability and eventually free software driving the RGB lighting? I can probably live without the RGB stuff as well ;-) Oh .. I don't play games, just spend the whole day (and night?) behind (in front of?) my PC. Thank you. Fred ps: numeric pad is a must

installing Fedora: says empty disk is almost full
by Douglas McGarrett 02 Sep '21

Hello. I'm a potential new user, but I'm having trouble with the install. I have Windows and Leap on one of the new on-board drives, and I have added /dev/sda, a new Samsung 465 GiB ssd (ordinary type) to the system. I formatted it to ext4 using GParted, and it's empty except for 8.38 GiB at the beginning that GParted must have added. When I try to add theFedora system to this, it says there is only 1.2 GiB available. I went back and ran GParted on it again, but it still comes up the same way. What am I doing wrong? Or is the drive defective? GParted doesn't complain about it. Thans for your assistance--doug

Fedora 34/KDE/Plasma desktop wallpaper showing through application windows ?
by linux guy 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hi. Fedora 34 / KDE / Plasma. Everything works great except that I can see the Fedora 34 desktop wallpaper patterns in my application windows. The desktop wallpaper is "bleeding through", like the application windows are transparent. How do I fix this ? Is it an effect in Settings ? Hardware: Asus A17 4800H with integrated GPU as well as a discrete GTX1660Ti. $ uname -a Linux fedora 5.13.12-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 13:27:18 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86 _64 GNU/Linux Installed Packages plasma-breeze.x86_64 5.22.4-1.fc34 @updates Thanks. Fedora rocks !

Weird keyboard problem
by Frederic Muller 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi! I'm using a Logitech G512 (wired) keyboard. Usually works perfectly in the morning and little by little I get stuck with 'some' keys. I say some because it's not regular. I press them and they don't seem to work.. then work "if I press harder" ... or later? When using the native laptop keyboard, or another BT Logitech K480 keyboard the problem is not there. I am really hesitating to bring it back as I've noticed when in the browser or some applications highlighting the blinking character cursor, that it actually stops blinking at times, and then suddenly either gets 3 keys typed in a row, or just a 'huge' time delay between the moment I typed that key and the moment it appears. Are there any reliable ways to troubleshoot and pinpoint where the issue could be coming from? Thank you. Fred
