rkhunter warning
by François Patte
Bonjour,
rkhunter warns me about "suspicious files":
Warning: Hidden file found: /dev/shm/.org.chromium.Chromium.pZwgHO: data
What are these files? Created when I used google-chrome?
And what to do with this warning?
Thank you.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry
I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install.
I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run.
The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it.
None of the default options for Brother printers came close.
The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things:
Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs.
Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page.
The printer never comes out of deep sleep.
How do I fix this?
It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did.
In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to
installing a printer on Linux:
Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort.
I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts.
BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided?

display problem (probably OT?)
by home user
(f34; gnome (is that relevant?), NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX
660], Dell U2711)
This is a dual-monitor home workstation.
This afternoon, the left monitor suddenly started displaying only dim
vertical stripes and lines and a black background, nothing else. The
right monitor still works fine. It is the same when I switch the
monitor cables on the back of the tower, at the graphics card outlets.
How do I determine whether the problem is the monitor, the graphics
card, the graphics driver, or something else?
Is there something to look for in a log file? If yes, what do I look
for, and which log file should I look in?

dns config query
by Jack Craig
hi list,
i have recently failed to get a cascaded router configuration to work,
so i removed the second router and am now just using the att provided
router (arris bgw210700).
Worse, I made erroneous assumptions and managed to shoot myself in the foot.
I am revisiting earlier provided dns setup and run into the following
issue.
I get as far as whois and things appear to fall apart...

DRPM performance ?
by jim.cromie@gmail.com
so a couple of weeks ago,
I did a dnf update, and got ~ 19% reduction due to DRPM
that was by far the highest return on the effort Id seen.
previous experience for me was 1-4%.
I should have grabbed a "screenshot" and sent it here.
Whats the "average" experience here ?
are there statistics ?
do *noarch 's do better ?
how often do you see some version of "find/download failed" ?
(it sometimes appears to be a cached-version problem,
particularly if the update is older than a few days)

Does anyone use Kexec?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I came across kexec(8) and wondered if anyone has used it in Fedora to
enable rapid rebooting after a kernel update. Just curious.

Cursor jumping
by Beartooth
There seems to be some setting somewhere in recent releases (I'm
running F35) that causes the mouse cursor to jump around when it hits
certain positions. How do I turn this off?
