It's actually an X function call (or Wayland now).  I would suggest 
looking at the code of "xsel" or "xclip" if you want details.  Most 
higher level toolkits provide convenient wrappers for that.

system call to the clipboard

Hi All,

Anyone know what the system calls are to write and read from the primary 
and secondary clipboards?


Many thanks,

Finally figured the problem. The .vnc directory had a default.tigervnc file in 
it 
that was in the DOS CR/LF formated text file. It had been there for some 
time, and didn't cause an issue. At some point it caused the F8^M to show 
up,  but didn't use the key so never looked into it.
Had changed it with dos2unix, but still got the same result. Problem was I 
was in root mode, so it was using the .vnc default.tiger, which was in the 
/root/.vnc directory. After fixing that one as well it is working.

Not sure what created that file. Setup vnc on another user account, and the 
file was not created. Also, tried renaming it, and it works fine with out it. 
Might 
be that it was created with a previous version. Options seem to be default 
values, but being in DOS format caused the ^M.

Sure you can

Cut and Paste to a file and save it.

Boot to F30.

The file is still there.

Hi Sean,

I can give you the manual method for ipv4.

For traffic to cross between the two interfaces forwarding must be 
enabled.  That is done in sysctl.conf


net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Then the default route is assigned to the router interface:

ip route add default via  dev 

Very straight forward.

The forwarding setting is sysctl.conf is persistent.

Here is a link that shows how to add settings using nmcli.  These 
settings should be persistent (can't swear to it.  I kill networkmanager

Now try it with multiple windows, each in a different desktop. For

Anybody need a ... ??

[Fred Smith]

Hi!

We're cleaning house, trying to downsize so we can move into a
retirement community, so we're finding all sorts of stuff to get
rid of.

One thing I'm reluctant to throw out is my Multitech MT5600BA V90
modem.

I used it for dialup for several years before broadband became available
and it was great, stable, and fast. (its predecessor, a much-touted
consumer-grade V90 modem was unreliable and not great). I'm thinking we
are/were on an unstable copper pair, but the phone company said it was
fine.

So, anyway, I have this lovely industrial-strength modem I'd like to
provide someone, "free to a good home", if anyone has, or knows of
anyone who  has, a use for a V90 modem.

Original packaging (including the floppy-based "drivers" for windoze! :) )
and a printout of the modem manual.

Anyone??

Thanks in advance!

Fred

I'm not a user of saved desktops.

But, I just confirmed that if I have the setting set for "Restore previous 
session" and if I have a window
rule for firefox to be in a certain desktop it will start in that desktop upon 
logout/login.

I have also found, while testing in a VM, that if you don't have 
"KillUserProcesses=yes" set in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf you can get into a situation where if you logout/login 
it can result in
a black-screen.

Another quirk, even though I'm not running dolphin it gets started in the 
Desktop I was in when I
logged out.

All of this may explain why I don't use that "feature".

There is a KDE Fedora mailing list where it would probably be more

This is also a pet peeve of mine. However I think KDE apps do remember
their desktop, it's the non-KDE ones that don't. This includes Firefox
and Chrome among others.

Gnome also has multiple desktops. I find the KDE implementation much
more usable, but that's a matter of preference.

This has nothing to do with KDE. Dnf is common to all Fedora spins.

Interesting comments, Ed.One of the benefits of making a post like this
is the feedback it will get from the unique and talented audience on this
list.

File a bugzilla.

Have you actually found a monitor with good speakers?  :-)
I don't know if this is a bug or configuration since my 2 monitors have really 
bad speakers and I refuse to
use them.  My external Bose speakers do a *much* better job.  :-)

Did you check "System Settings-->Startup and Shutdown-->Desktop Session"?

You probably will get closer to your goal by checking/trying the options noted 
above and logging out
prior to doing a restart.

You may also want to investigate "System Settings-->Window Management--Window 
Rules".  You can
control where, what size, etc, of applications.

Sounds to me as if that is an intended behavior.  If a window is in full-screen 
and you move it another display
why shouldn't it remain in full-screen?

FWIW, I got sick of mice and the wrist pain if produced for me.  I switched to 
a trackball and never regretted
that decision.  I can zip across my 2 2560x1440 displays with the flick of a 
finger.
