Everyone:

I completed my installation of solid-state drives and, of course, a new installation of F27.

And now: what happened to my system configuration tools? How do I start and stop services?

My biggest problem is Samba. I can't see any Windows computers on my network, and they can't see me. (I can, however, see a network printer. That, I configured in the System Settings app.)

There's a systemd gnome shell extension that you could use but personally I really like cockpit, both of which you can find in gnome-software.

Cockpit is web based so you just point your browser to localhost:9090 and use your normal login. 

Thanks,
Richard


Just tried to install cockpit. DNF installed everything but cockpit-ws.

I tried to install that separately and I got this output:
