Laptop's display not visible in setting
Hi everyone. I upgraded yesterday my HP Pavilion from Fedora 29 to 30. Everything went wonderfully, thank you all. I have a second monitor attached to it via HDMI. All run perfectly and when I came back I realized the laptop's screen was gray with the fedora logo on it. It is there but I can't use it, like it is not part of the desktop. In the GNOME settings I do not see any other screen than the monitor. Did not give much thought to it, and went to sleep. This morning, I disconnected the second monitor to see if booting only with its own monitor would do something and no... gray screen again. The grub screens appear on the laptops monitor but the login screen is on the external monitor. I also tried the NVIDIA X server settings where both screens were earlier and there is only one screen listed :-( Can anyone help me out to make the laptop's monitor work again?

You just need to tell the config.php file how to find your database - see the /usr/share/doc/moodle-2.3.6/README-rpm file. You also need to fix SElinux permissions (see below) However, there is a problem with the current Fedora and EPEL moodle packages because they remove some php QuickForm files that the moodle source ships with in favour of Fedora's packaged version. Unfortunately moodle is expecting a couple of extra files that aren't in the Fedora version because they are now obsolete. Michael Young I had lots of problems to install moodle into Fedora, and also you should know that every time it is updated by yum you will need to fix permissions (SELinux mostly). I work developing courses in moodle for my clients (schools) and they have a certain version of moodle in their servers. To keep everything simple, I installed in my computer the same version they have and I do not want yum to update it. To put it to work, I ended up using the rpm from moodle.org, and yum localinstall it so that it would pull dependecies. All the php and mysql packages are from remi collet's repository (again it was just easier than fight against Fedora's packages). From my notes: install moodle, mysql, mysql-server give permisions to apache to the moodle folder /var/www/moodle chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/moodle setup moodle database in mysql edit config.php to add login, passw, root for www Then, when updating with yum, remember to exclude moodle. Anyway, you don't want it to be updated every few weeks if you are developing courses for others like I do. Keep in mind that I only develop courses in this server, and then transfer them for teaching... I mean, this is just development. I do not have students or other users accessing so I don't know how would that go. If this would be a live server I would not go for Fedora, I would pick some other linux flavour that does not change so quickly. HTH, Ester -- Ester Muñoz Aparicio C/ San Isidro 2 Urb.

Re: Moodle on Fedora 16
As an aside, My daughter developed a Moodle site for a school project and wants her school to move to Moodle but they are fixated on something called a VLA, which is not a patch on Moodle and has few if any of Moodle's capabilities. That is very nice! I have worked in eLearning since 98, and Moodle has been my favourite platform from the OpenSource ones since it's been available. OF course I have to offer different solutions to my clients, some just will not install OpenSource (don't ask, I have no idea why would they have such a requirement), others just say we want platform X, you build it but I always offer Moodle as a safe choice. Please let us know how you are progressing. Roger Well, no progress. I haven't had the time. And now I need to finish my first course in the local Moodle to be able to show it, so the data folder it is still located under /var. In some point when I have time -or a full partition, whichever comes first- , I'll try again to move it to /home Thanks to all Ester -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

You would need to configure your apache config file with /home/moodle/ instead of the default /var/www directory. After that you just chcon recursively the whole directory so it matches the selinux settings of /var/www. Regarding Roger's statement Clients are more important. He's right not in the sense that a cutting edge system is problematic but in that you need stability reliability. I would go with CentOS, Scientific Linux or Debian. Any of them have longer life support than cutting edge systems. Regards, Edik Thank you Daniel, Roger and Edik. I will try your suggestions as soon as I can. Regarding the cutting edge thing, this is just my desktop machine, and I love Fedora. The production server will be somewhere else and will not be managed by me (it's a government training project). And surely it won't be Fedora, they have very competent people there to take care of it (most surely Red Hat server but it is not my decision). I only have a development site so I can work locally on developing the materials, so that when production is set up, we will already know what works for the project and what not (I mean for the training). I'll let you know how it goes. Ester -- Ester Muñoz Aparicio C/ San Isidro 2 Urb.

Moodle on Fedora 16
Hello list members! I'm having a hard time trying to make moodle work on my Fedora 16. Few days ago I got the greatest news: one of my clients is moving to Moodle and that means a lot of work for this year. The Moodle server will be in their headquarters and someone will take care of it, so no problem there. But I have to move 80 and something courses from another CMS to Moodle, and the production server will not be available in a while... I want to setup a local development server to start migrating the courses, and also to maintain them and move ready copies of the courses to production. Yesterday I installed moodle from the repositories, together with a bunch of dependencies, http and php + php modules. Then I fought against moodle for the rest of the day as it appears that it did not allow me to use any directory to be its data directory. I finally solved that this morning with some SElinux magic after few hours of reading. I pointed the browser to localhost/moodle and tada! welcome page. Click next. Error, cannot continue, php-zip is missing. I yum search for it, and it is not on any repository. I confirmed it does not exist in any repo, so well, here I am now. Questions: - How can I install php-zip? I am comfortable on Linux, been using Fedora since it exists, on 3 different computers at home. I have made my share of administering them and they all work so far :-) although I have never installed anything from source. So, what would be the easiest way to install php-zip? Can I get somewhere the srpm and build it? Or do I really have to uninstall php and install from scratch with enable zip? This last bit scares me. - Is it possible somehow to make moodle accept as data folder one folder in /home? I couldn't make it work. At the moment it resides in /var/www/moodledata, but I'd like to move it under /home as this partition is much bigger. I'm sure more things will come up, I'd appreciate any and all the help you could offer.

Yes, I read about it this morning... both in fedora related and moodle related forums / sites. 2 quite simple solutions - pecl install zip (well, will requires a lots -devel stuff) - use remi repo (backport from fedora with zip extension enabled) Remi! Fantastic! I checked your repo as well BUT looking for php-zip and it isn't there, so I just went on looking for it. I understand this are not real good solution... Now after reading your message, I updated the php I had with the one in your repo, also all the other php related things, and it works!
