What's in yours?  Are any of the files owned?  Mine is just an empty 
directory tree to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/.  I just checked further and 
that directory is owned by grub-common, but not the parent directories.

Without the actual error messages, it's hard to say what the specific 
problem is as there are several problems with this.  There are many 
directories that are readable only by root, so those will give you 
errors on the base side.  Unless the target server is empty to start 
with (which it obviously isn't since you are running things on it), most 
directories are only writable by root so those will all give you errors 
as well.



I've turned selinux off on both the base/target server for this process..


Probably unnecessary.


I've thought of iterating through the process and adding to the
exclude file the dirs generating the permission errs..


That will be nearly everything.


Any thoughts on a soln to this?

Also, for legitimate files that are owned by other processes/users
that should be copied. Any thoughts on how to cpy them, without
generating the permission errs?


You can't.  Why don't you just use root to copy?

OK then at that point the X-server is functioning normally.  Would it be 
possible to
do the following?

1.  Reboot the system to get to the login screen.

2.  From a second system, ssh into the failing system, become root, and "tail -f
/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to see what was last entered.

3.  Login from the GUI on failing system and then check the tail to see if the
"AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch" appears at that point.

You do switch consoles and you just again said you did.  You switched

normal and not a problem.


I ran the test this evening while I was remotely connected to the

Xorg log from the other machine, without switching consoles on the
machine with the problem. The log ended like this:

So, no, I hadn't tried to switch consoles when those messages

That's strange because those lines are only caused by a VT switch as it 
says...



Have I mentioned that I installed TigerVNC on the system, then
connected from a different one? In that situation, KDE starts fine.
The problem is only on the main screen.


This starts the session differently.  How are you starting vnc and
KDE in this case.  That might give a hint to why the other method
isn't working.


Well, I'm certainly seeking hints. The VNC session got me to a blank

I'm confused about how you're trying to do the convert to html.  You
should open Firefox using the old profile.  Go to the bookmarks

Shotwell and photo manager in general

[Timothy Ward]

Hi,

It is unfortunate that with the use of mobile phones being used more
amd more with their camera apps that Linux Photo managers have not been
fully udgraded to download the camera images from smart phones easy,
although some do the best thay can, their seems to be a work required
to make it a seamless experience when plugging a smart phone in a Linux
computer. Library's and applications are available and being upgraded
but still lack the programming and refinement and is probably related
to the spare time and help that the developers have to implement new
features for smart phones and attend to issues with the software as a
whole.

No, that I did not. Should I? What configuration options should I specify?



Yes, I believe you should.  And when you configure the driver you should 
specify  the
ppd file Epson-XP-860_Series-epson-escpr-en.ppd.gz.


And where is that file available? I have searched high and low using what I 
think
is a reputable and powerful search engine, under every kind of phrase. All I 
get is
a link to an rpm file I already have, and have already installed. I looked
specifically for the link to download the ppd file you named, and have not found
it. Anywhere.

Look in /usr/share/ppd/Epson/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr




Actually, the configuration routine found the driver without my having 
to specify it manually. The package obviously installed a long list of 
ppd files. I found the right one and was then able to specify an option 
for full-duplex printing, long edge or short.

OK, I downloaded the dejsonlz4 tarball, and built it, and used it on one

Now, in order to import it as html, I need to convert it to html first.

I do not see a tool that readily converts json to html.
There are websites that let you paste the json text and they output html 
text.
I have not found sites that let you upload the json file, and give you 
the url to download the html output file.

I'm getting a bunch of permission denied/operation denied errs...

I've turned selinux off on both the base/target server for this process..

I've thought of iterating through the process and adding to the

Any thoughts on a soln to this?

Also, for legitimate files that are owned by other processes/users
that should be copied. Any thoughts on how to cpy them, without

I can post/paste as much information as needed..

I expect they are sample certs, but I don't know why they are included. 
I don't see those on my server, but my database is much older.


To remove them, go to the /etc/httpd/alias directory.  Run "certutil -L 
-d ." to make sure of the names.  Then you can run "certutil -D -d . -n 
'Frank Alpha'" for example to remove them from the database.

I'm confused about how you're trying to do the convert to html.  You 
should open Firefox using the old profile.  Go to the bookmarks window 
and use the "export to html" option.  Then in the new profile, you go to 
the bookmarks window and use the "import from html" option.

They started using this before there was a standard lz4 header.  See

Read https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/develop.html
"Version Numbering Scheme for GCC 5 and Up" part?
7.3.1 is a version used for 7 branch snapshots in between 7.3 and 7.4
releases, which is what we are shipping in Fedora.  The version also
includes the date when the snapshot has been made.

Please check the system logs. It may be an issue with libcrypt (e.g. the
version desired isn't there). I've had that issue with a laptop before
where the PAM system wanted libcrypto.so.6 (which was what was
originally installed way back when) but the current version was
libcrypto.so.10.

IIRC, /boot/efi/* is created by the initial anaconda install sequence
and is in place in case you use UEFI at some point in the future. Since
it's only about 15MB in size, it's pretty innocuous and I wouldn't
worry about it. Ubuntu's install mechanism isn't the same and it
probably doesn't create that directory unless it notices you are in UEFI
boot mode at the time of install.

Which is better? I sorta like Fedora...it's there in case you need it
and it really doesn't take up much space. Your browser cache probably
sucks up more disk than /boot/efi does.

I've seen that and suspect that it refers to the accounts-daemon.service

I failed to find a detailed description of that :-(

My case was specific: use of the NIS for authenticating users. A
turnaround was to inject the user password declarations in the local
/etc/passwd file :-(

Trying your trick gives the same result: once the password has been
given, lightdm behaves like if it was a wrong password and user can't log!

I am interested in both, it is quite boring that something has been done

Remove this rm -rf line.  It is not needed or desirable.

Unless the package actually has a file named
add-license-file-here, you should remove this line.  You'll
get a build error otherwise (once you fix the current
error).

If you look at the textext-0.4.tar.gz, you'll see that it
does not place the files in a directory:

$ tar -tvf textext-0.4.tar.gz 
-rwxr-x--- pauli/pauli   27225 2008-04-22 17:14 textext.py
-rw--- pauli/pauli 415 2008-01-12 10:48 textext.inx

You'll need to have the %autosetup macro create the
directory for you before it unpacks the tarball.  That is
done with the -c option, so your %autosetup line above
should be:

%autosetup -c

Your next errors will be that this tool has no configure or
Makefile, so %configure, %make_build, and %make_install are
all going to fail.  You will need to replace them with the
actual steps to build/install the textext package.

I suspect that there is nothing to build, so the %build
section can likely be dropped entirely.

Then in the %install section you'll have to create the
needed directory structure and install the files.  And
finally you'll have to list them in the %files section.

You'll really want to read more of the rpm packaging guides
to learn how to do all of those things.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
might be a good place to start.

This is telling you that directory "textext-0.4" don't exist.
If you list the testes-0.4.tar.gz with tar (like this):

tar -tvf textext-0.4.tar.gz

what does it say?

XP-820 CUPS/Gutenprint drivers, regular and simplified.

I tried installing the Epson Printer Utility from the Epson site. But that 
doesn't
seem to do anything to make full duplex available.

You installed epson-inkjet-printer-escpr?


No, that I did not. Should I? What configuration options should I specify?



Yes, I believe you should.  And when you configure the driver you should 
specify  the
ppd file Epson-XP-860_Series-epson-escpr-en.ppd.gz.



And where is that file available? I have searched high and low using 
what I think is a reputable and powerful search engine, under every kind 
of phrase. All I get is a link to an rpm file I already have, and have 
already installed. I looked specifically for the link to download the 
ppd file you named, and have not found it. Anywhere.

Well, since I am the only one who has responded to your query and since I only 
know
what I have found by using google, I guess nobody knows for sure what is 
causing the
problem.

At this point are you more interested in getting that user logged in under 
lightdm or
finding out why they have been unable to?

OK, so that isn't the issue.

So, have you attempted what I have proposed?   Sometimes getting something to 
work is
more important than finding out why something doesn't work.

Seems to be an empirical way to solve the problem! Nobody knows what is
responsible for such a message (Authenticate result for user cath  :
User not known to the underlying authentication module)? What is this
module and how to inform it that a new user was added?

inkscape

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I use inkscape, but the behavior that I get is not that is explained
in line. Typically, I do not get the palette tool box.
https://www.wikihow.com/Use-the-Fill-and-Stroke-Functions-in-Inkscape

It results that I cannot open a fill and stroke, and I cannot set an
arrow for example.

Is is a bug or a configuration issue?

Thank for your help.

It absolutely does NOT work. Replying to digests will only preserve
threading if your mail client has an option such as Reply to Digest
(e.g. Evolution can do this). Otherwise you break threading.

Digests are an outdated concept anyway. They're a hangover from the
days of UUCP and really have no reason to exist any more.

Sorry about that.  It was further down in my inbox so I didn't see that
until after I sent my reply.  It would have been better if you had
replied in that thread so that the messages would be together in
people's inboxes and in the archives.



Hmm . . not sure what happened - I just did what I normally do (which 
used to work):


- reply to the list

- change the subject appropriately

- edit out extraneous digest stuff and add my response to the

That should have retained whatever threading was involved?

Now that I think about it . . I'm not sure how that CAN work . .

 First thing to check.  Does user cath have an entry in the /etc/shadow 
 file?

OK

How about you take note of the numeric UID and GID and then delete the user 
without
deleting their home directory.  Then recreate the user with the same numeric 
UID and
GID but pointing to a new home directory.  Then test.  If the test is 
successful then
change the password file to point to the original home directory.

Oh, before that, what is the numeric UID and GID of the user?  If it is less 
than
1000 it may cause issues.
