Getting a new printer/scanner
by andreas.fournier＠runbox.com 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

So, it's time again for me to get a new printer/scanner as the old one just died. I hope it isn't too much off-topic to solicit advice on what to get so that it would work flawlessly with Fedora. I'm looking for a rather basic model. When I browse the homepages of manufacturers I can't find any mention of support for Linux. Is there a list somewhere of printer/scanners that are supported by Linux? Thanks Andreas

Anyone use spf and dmarc and dkim?
by Thomas Cameron 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

I have set up spf, dmarc, and dkim for my email domain. It *seems* to work well. I tested it by sending an email to my GMail account. When I look at the headers of the email, GMail says that it passes all three tests: > ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com; > dkim=pass header.i=(a)camerontech.com header.s=default > header.b=My0caSvG; > spf=pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of > thomas.cameron(a)camerontech.com designates 3.138.45.83 as permitted > sender) smtp.mailfrom=thomas.cameron(a)camerontech.com; > dmarc=pass (p=NONE sp=NONE dis=NONE) header.from=camerontech.com > But then, when I do something like send email to this list, I suddenly get a TON of error messages saying that the email failed spf tests because it's coming from the server of the mailing list instead of my email server. Is that normal? It's kind of frustrating. I added the ip address of the Fedora list server to my spf record, but that seems really hackish. What do folks do to set up email with dmarc, spf, and so on? Thomas

No Wifi in F36
by Stephen Morris 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi, Having upgrade my system now to an Asus Rog Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard with 802.11ax wifi which matches my 802.11ax wifi router, an Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card with 12GB of memory, and AMD Ryzen 9 5950x 16 core cpu, 64GB of 3600 memory, liquid cooled cpu cooler and 1000W power supply I have stopped running my system in raid and stopped running Fedora in a VM. Having now directly installed Fedora 36 I have both wifi and ethernet configured in Networkmanager, with wifi configured to autoconnect and ethernet isn't, but when I start up Fedora I have no internet access as the only access Fedora sees is ethernet which has to be started manually to get internet access, and even after activating the ethernet interface Fedora still cannot see any wifi nodes to connect to. There isn't any issue with the wifi adapter as I am using that quite happily under windows. What am I missing in the installation to get wifi available? regards, Steve

how now to set ibus (Intelligent Pinyin) font size?
by home user 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

When trying to enter Chinese characters into text via ibus in (g)vim, LibreOffice, etc., ibus's menu of candidate characters uses a font size that is too small (see attached screen capture), and does not match the setting in ibus's preferences. This issue came up before, in the winter of 2019; see this thread: "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org…" I read through the thread and checked/did what Ed Greshko and Peng Wu suggested. I get a message that "gnome-shell-extension-prefs is deprecated". Something has changed. How do I now get ibus to use the larger font size that I want? If I need to install something, I ask that it be done with dnf (apparently Fedora's preferred way of installing and updating), not flatpaks, not gnome's "software", not (etc.). There are two bugs relevant to ibus fonts: "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409121" "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410635" but both were fixed before my winter 2019 thread. By the way, Ed Greshko was one of the key helps in my winter 2019 thread, but I haven't seen any posts in this list recently. Is he still with us? Is Peng Wu a member of this list?

Fedora-36: Null Names for a Virtual Desktop Locks up the System
by Jonathan Ryshpan 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Here's what I did: * Invoked System Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> Virtual Desktops * Set the name of a desktop to null using the pen and backspace key * Hit Apply The system is now well and truly locked up; the best way out seems to be a reboot. System is: Operating System: Fedora Linux 36 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.13-300.fc36.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 -- Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh(a)pacbell.net> For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words bother me. -- Winnie the Pooh

gvim print font
by Michael Hennebry 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

The font gvim uses when printing is annoyingly faint. The font gedit uses works for me. How do I find out what font gedit is using and tell gvim to use that font? I'm running F35. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "This dream is brought to you by Sharassin of Shan.
