Thunderbird 115 FC 38
by steven stern 03 Oct '23

I see that Thunderbird 115.2 is in koji, but it looks like it has not been build for Fedora 38. Is that coming? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=39 https://i.imgur.com/bKEMxjt.png

fedora 38: grainy printing with hp lj pro mfp m130fw
by Gianluca Cecchi 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Hello, after upgrading from fedora 37 to 38 the scanner still works quite well, but it seems that my printing is somehow grainy, even for well defined documents. Initially I thought of a possible reason with the just replaced toner but then trying to print the same pdf file from my Samsung S22 phone it prints perfectly. Both the printer and the phone use wifi connection. After upgrading I got the usual message that the driver needed to be reinstalled but I continually got checksum error and it didn't complete. I then manually downloaded from here: https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/ and gave the .run file to the wizard as input and the printer worked again, but output is grainy. On my fedora 38 I have hplip-3.23.5-8.fc38.x86_64 so I downloaded the hplip-3.23.5-plugin.run file from the web site above. Could that be the reason? Running hp-check I see HP_LaserJet_MFP_M129-M134 ------------------------- Type: Printer Device URI: hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_MFP_M129-M134?ip=192.168.1.223 PPD: /etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_MFP_M129-M134.ppd PPD Description: HP LaserJet MFP m129-m134, hpcups 3.23.5 Printer status: printer HP_LaserJet_MFP_M129-M134 is idle. enabled since Thu 28 Sep 2023 03:18:44 PM CEST Communication status: Good Any other better optimized ppd to use? Or anything else to check/debug? Thanks, Gianluca

monitoring of fed/web severs
by bruce 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Hi. To all you sys admin -- real or just good! I'm doing some thought/research prep to figure out what's required to monitor remote (cloud) web servers, and the services running on the instance. Ie, what apps/services should be used -3rd party apps running/pointed to the box -what should be tracked/monitored? -are there "recipes" to use to be used as a starting point? -things "not" to do -- things "to" do.. Good/Better/Best practices... Server security processes User attacking the server Traffic attacking the web Server process.. Whatever the list has to offer, I'd be interested in seeing/hearing. thanks much ps. The use case is a couple of test servers, running different webSites, with different mysql db. The apps will be php/javascript for the most part. thanks!!

USB device detected but can't access
by Alex 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

Hi, I have a SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 device that doesn't appear to be properly recognized. It doesn't appear in an "fdisk -l" output and not automatically mounted on the filesystem as other devices are. It does appear to be detected, however: [498296.376209] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 7 [498298.800214] usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd [498298.812856] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=5591, bcdDevice= 1.00 [498298.812867] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [498298.812871] usb 2-3: Product: Ultra USB 3.0 [498298.812874] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: SanDisk [498298.812877] usb 2-3: SerialNumber: 4C530001030516102474 [498298.814899] usb-storage 2-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [498298.815110] scsi host11: usb-storage 2-3:1.0 [498298.983388] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd It's not that old, and certainly doesn't have many hours on it. Are there any other ways I can try to access it before determining it's defective?

With kernel-6.5.5 flatpaks don't start
by Jürgen Botz 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

After doing 'dnf upgrade' on my Fedora 38 Thinkpad and then rebooting into new 6.5.5 kernel yesterday no flatpaks would run. The 'flatpak' command itself was fine, i.e. I could do 'flatpak list' and even 'install', but 'flatpak run ...' failed for all flatpaks I tried. Rebooted back into older kernel (6.4.15) and everything was fine. Haven't had time yet to investigate further, yet, but I'll have another look this weekend... for now I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this?

Creating a ScreenShot HotKey Script
by Philip Rhoades 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

People, I want to scroll through doc pages in a script loop doing a screenshot for each page eg the procedure would be: 1. Display the first page of the doc you want to screenshot. 2. Hit CTRL-PrtScrn (say) to start the script loop. The script does a screenshot of the current screen. The Right Arrow or PageDn key is sent from the script to advance the doc to the next page. The script continues to loop . . 3. The script is stopped by CTRL-C (say). Is this possible? Should I be trying to do this from Sway? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

can't ping
by Mike Wright 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi everybody, I have no idea how I got in this mess, but I've lost the ability to use ping as a regular user. sudo still works. Nothing in lsattr, regular perms are 755 no suid. ping: socktype: SOCK_RAW ping: socket: Operation not permitted ping: => missing cap_net_raw+p capability or setuid? Any help? Especially ideas on how I managed to do this? Thanks

Current Stable Fedora Version?
by Stephen Morris 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi, I am currently on F38, but the other day when I was searching for how to do something (which I've forgotten what it was) I found instructions for F39 and F40. So I'm now curious as to what is the current stable version of Fedora? regards, Steve
