LibreOffice Calc chart printout missing axes and gridlines.
by home user
Good morning,
I'm not sure if the problem is in LibreOffice or something else. Also,
I did try to post this in LibreOffice support, but my login does not
work, and trying to create a new account does not work.
(Fedora-34, Gnome, LibreOffice 7.1.8.1, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw)
I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet. It has a chart. On my
workstation monitor, the chart looks as I desire: border, x and y axes,
legend, axis labels, data curves, tick marks along the axes, and a grid
in the plot area. When I print the chart to a PDF file and then display
the PDF file, it look the same as in LibreOffice Calc. But, when in
LibreOffice Calc, I print to the printer, there are no axes and no grid
lines. How do I get the axes and grid lines to show?
Thank-you in advance.
Bill.

Interactive task scheduling (system) ? How do I run a list of tasks
consecutively on a server ?
by linux guy
Hi people.
I'm using a server to run a bunch of simulations. By bunch I mean
hundreds. Each simulation takes from 10 minutes to 10 hours to run. All
of the simulations are run from the command line. Every day I generate
more simulation cases.
I'm looking for a method/system/app that I can give a list of tasks that
will run them on the server, automatically, one after another.
How could I do this ?
Thanks

Picking a new laptop
by joe＠zeff.us
I'm still trying to get my current laptop running again, but I'm probably going to need to get a new one. If nothing else, this one doesn't really have enough memory and it's maxed out.
Right now, I'm also trying to get Xubuntu loaded onto my sister's Acer Aspire 1, and having considerable difficulty getting it to boot from the USB. I'm not comfortable with her new laptop and would rather not get myself an Acer. If any of you have had good experiences recently with getting Fedora installed on a laptop, suggestions would be very welcome.

Dock & window switching issues in Fedora 35
by Matt Morgan
Hi. I recently upgraded to Fedora 35. I would like to change two behaviors
back to what I had before:
1) when I mouse up to the hot corner, the application dock is now at the
bottom of the screen. How can I get the dock to position itself vertically
along the left side of the screen? I've tried a few gnome extensions but
none I can find does that (except when floating the dock, which is not what
I want).
2) When I alt-tab I can get an application list, but not a window list
(e.g. if Thunderbird has two windows open, I see one entry for Thunderbird,
not two). I think I used to use an extension called "Alternate Alt-tab" to
change this, but that extension doesn't seem to be available for F35.
Bonus question: I can't find a weather extension for gnome anymore. The one
I used to use was called "OpenWeather," I think. Is there a substitute?
Thanks,
Matt

Persistence of Grub2 menu overrides
by Dave Ulrick
Every so often I have to boot Linux into single-user mode. I do this by
waiting for the Grub2 menu, selecting the desired kernel, and pressing
'e'. Then I select the 'linux' statement, add '<space>1' to the end of
the line, and boot with <Ctrl-X>.
This still works fine, but since upgrading to Fedora 34 I've noticed
that the menu overrides I make in this manner are persistent. That is,
if I add "1" to the end of the boot parameters for one boot, "1" will
remain in effect until I explicitly remove it: press 'e' from the Grub2
menu, remove "<space>1", and press <Ctrl-X>.
This was rather scary when I first discovered this behavior. Booting
into single-user mode without asking to do so is ordinarily associated
with a serious system issue.
Was this a deliberate change? If so, where is it documented?
I'm not sure I totally like this change. In some situations, it could be
handy to add a kernel parameter using the Grub2 menu and have it stick
around from one boot to another, but sometimes the old behavior was good
for a one-time "failsafe" change that would be reverted just by doing a
normal reboot.
Contents of /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 acpi_enforce_resources=lax"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
Thanks,

Failed installation of F 35 Workstation
by WMU Bavaria
My laptop crashed to the point it won't boot, so I ended up burning Fedora 35 Workstation on a LiveUSB and re-installing. When the install ended, it told me that it had failed to install the boot loader and the system wasn't bootable. I know that I created a /boot, but I don't know if I needed more than that and Anaconda didn't ask for more. What do I need to do to recover from this?

heads up: node export service file has been renamed
by Barry Scott
I just updated one of my servers and it failed to reboot.
The reason is that I had:
Requires=node_exporter.service
in the default target and the update had installed a change to
the name of the node exporter service. It is not called
prometheus-node-exporter.service
Having been bitten I'm changing to use:
Wants=prometheus-node-exporter.service
Just incase it changes again.

firewalld restricts localhost - ?
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
I'm trying still not squared away Centos 9 firewalld and since closest
to it is Fedora, here is a natural place to ask I thought -
'forward-port' if you use it for 'localhost', like here:
port=80:proto=tcp:toport=81:toaddr=127.0.0.1
does it work on Fedora, out-of-box?
It used to, if I remember correctly, but now it seems (again, Centos 9)
that such 'forward-port' is blocked, meaning destination 127.0.0.1:81 is
not reachable.

Window always on top of a specified program window
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
With XFCE, we can set a window to always be on top of all other
windows. However, I am looking for a variant of such a feature: Always
on top of the window I specify, say always on top of the Firefox
window.
Is such a tool available on Fedora?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

How to get Fedora 35 to use DNS name as hostname?
by Thomas Cameron
It looks like the hostname is set in /etc/profile to uname -n, which
means every instance I spin up thinks its hostname is "fedora." I don't
want that. I want each hostname to set its hostname to whatever its DNS
name is.
We used to set the hostname in /etc/hostname to localhost.localdomain,
and that would be substituted to whatever the DNS hostname associated
with the system's IP address was, but that doesn't seem to work any more.
What is the preferred way of having Fedora 35 server instances use the
host's hostname from DNS? I notice that if I restart
NetworkManager.service, then the reverse DNS hostname is set - hostname
gives me host123.mydomain.com. I want to make it happen at boot. It's weird.
