Re: I need a temporary imap client

[SternData]

Change the server from imap.zoho.com to imappro.zoho.com. That fixed up 
my similar issue on thunderbird, apple mail, and iOS.

Hi All,

Fedora 35
thunderbird-91.3.0-1.fc35.x86_64

Every time I want to see new eMail on my zoho
accounts (3), I need to restart Thunderbird.
It is a pain in the neck.  My gMail account
are unaffected.

This is the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1745668

Anyone have a recommendation for an alternate
imap client whilst I wait for the bug to be fixed?

Many thanks,

Pulseaudio documentation for the raop modules is at:

I don't know where the actual module is though.  I can't find which

Slack dropping Fedora support

[SternData]

This just popped up on Slack:  "Note: Starting March 1, 2022, Slack will 
no longer support Fedora Linux distributions."


Anyone know what's going on?  And maybe interested in engaging them on 
Twitter @slackhq to ask for reconsideration?

Thank you! That fixed it.

gimp and F32 upgrade

[SternData]

I do not have gimp installed, but do have Glimpse installed via flatpak.

system upgrade reports:

Modular dependency problem:

 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides module(platform:f31) needed by module
gimp:2.10:3120191106095052:f636be4b-0.x86_64

removing glimpse and flatpak does not remove the problem.

What should I try next?

Re: OT: recommendations for a low-volume, cheap-to-use/maintain home printer for use with Fedora 31

I have a Canon MX-922, which can usually be found cheaply. I buy ink at
inkjets.com at a very reasonable price.

filter for up-arrow in terminal

[SternData]

A long time ago, in an operating system far, far away I used a tool
called PCED.  It had one really nice feature:  If I had typed a command like

  copy a b

it saved it, just like bash does.  But when I typed

   copy

and pressed up-arrow, it would filter the history entries and show only
those that started with "copy".

I'm already using autojump for the cd command. Is there something to
provide this filter on using up-arrow to scroll through past commands?

I'm using a Netgear Orbi system. There's a base unit that is also an
access point, then satellite units. The satellites have a "private" 5GHz
channel for talking to the base.

It turns out to have been the "Laine" gnome shell extension.

Disabling that fixed the issue.

Gnome Shell crashes when playing sound in Chrome

[SternData]

I thought this was a video related, but it turns out to be audio. If I
play a video or audio via Chrome, gnome-shell crashes as soon as I
un-mute the media player.  Unfortunately, the crash does not leave a
reportable dump file.

Any ideas of what to look at?

Viewing videos in Chrome crashes gnome shell

[SternData]

I'm totally unable to track this down and when I try to report the

Am I the only one with this error?

Any tips on how to debug this?

Video on Chrome crashes gnome-shell

[SternData]

I recently rebuilt my desktop to a clean F30 installation.  Now I'm
seeing gnome-shell crashing when I try to view a video in Chrome.  I'd
love to upload the report, but abrt reports a "ureport" error.

In any case, is this just me or is it more widespread?

Chrome: Version 76.0.3809.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Gnome-shell: 3.32.2-2

The same videos played in Firefox are no problem.

Equalizer for pulseaudio

[SternData]

I just did a clean install of F30 on this system and am trying to get
things back to work.

I've got pulseeffects installed because the install of
pulseaudio-equalizer fails

$ sudo dnf install pulseaudio-equalizer
Error:
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides ladspa-swh-plugins needed by
pulseaudio-equalizer-2.7-21.fc29.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

This is what's available searching on ladspa

Amarok song list seems to be white on white

[SternData]

Sometime in the last week, one of the updates seems to have broken
Amarok's display.  See https://imgur.com/eHk4Vc0

The list of tracks on the right is there, but seems to be white on
white. I can't find anyplace to change the color scheme.

Kernel 4.19

[SternData]

dnf updates are not picking up kernel-4.19.2.  My current kernel is
4.18.18-300.fc29.x86_64

I've tried a "dnf clear all", followed by a "dnf update", but it doesn't
find anything new (at least the new kernel).

Any ideas?

Found a solution on stack overflow:

the libnode.so that slack includes does not work on F29.  The version
that's included with the atom editor does. So, delete the one that comes
with slack and replace it with a symlink to the one that comes with atom.

Have you tried feedly.com?  I pick up a bunch of newspapers, tech sites,

I'm OK with a web forum as long as it has an RSS feed. That lets me
monitor it more or less as I do with the mailing list.  I don't mind
going to a website for more info or to reply, but I want it as part of
my morning skimming of the news.

I don't think I can screenshot the tool taking a screenshot. :-) There's
a  button to select an app in which to open the image, so you could use
that to get to the printer.

Shutter replacement: Flameshot

[SternData]

If you've been gritting your teeth about Shutter not working on Wayland,
it's time to rejoice.

I've been compiling flameshot from github
(https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot) , but I see it's now part of
the fedora repos.

dnf install flameshot

I too have been having hangs that require a power cycle. I've dropped
back from kernel 4.17.5 to 4.17.4 to see if it's a kernel update issue.

Smooth upgrade -- Thank you

[SternData]

It just gets better and better. The only little tweak I had from FC27 to
FC28 was finding gnome-tweak-tool got renamed to gnome-tweaks.

Thanks to everyone on the Fedora team for making this upgrade such a
non-event.

It just works! :-)

I use the one from VirtualBox rather than rpmfusion.  The VMs themselves

I ripped all my CDs to flac in an m4a wrapper with Grip and play them on
my computer with Amarok. However, I also installed Plex Media Server on
my FreeNAS box.  The files are actually on FreeNAS, shared to my
computer via NFS.  I then installed the Plex app on my Roku, so I can
play them using through our home theater system as well.  Currently,
there are about 12,000 tracks.

Disk space is cheap. Rip to a lossless format.

Ripping CDs is incredibly boring.

Thunderbird needs update

[SternData]

There's a bug in TB 52.2.0 that causes TB to lose track of imap accounts
and download stuff again and again, when it's not crashting.

"Problems with Gmail (folders not showing, repeated email download,
etc.) introduced in version 52.2.0."

This is supposed to be fixed in 52.2.1.  Unfortunately, it's not yet in
updates or updates-testing.

There's *got* to be a similar tool for bash, but my google-fu is weak today.

There was an error relating to "resources".  I googled around on that

DNF does not actually upgrade

[SternData]

I did

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=24
--enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
--enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing --nogpgcheck

which downloaded a lot of packages and ended with

Complete!
Download complete! Use 'dnf system-upgrade reboot' to start the upgrade.
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful
transaction.


But when I do

 sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

The system reboots, pauses near the end and says "preparing upgrade.
this may take a while". After about 3 minutes, it reboots again and I'm
still in F23.

There's no upgrade option on the boot screen, just the F23 kernels

The error explains it:

maitra is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

run visudo

is "wheel" enabled for sudo and is maitra in the wheel group?

Well, I pretty much got told where to stick it...

"Considering that Shutter is trying to use the X11 API, I'm wondering
why youthought it would work, or why you think GTK+ has anything to do
with it.

Wayland is fundamentally different than X11. You cannot grab the root
window;you cannot walk the tree of windows; and, in general, any process
can only access the contents of the windows it created.

You should ask the Shutter developers to fix their application to work
under Wayland; sadly there is no common protocol to ask the Wayland
compositor to provide a screenshot. GNOME Shell has a DBus interface
described here:
"

Wayland and Shutter

[SternData]

I seem to be the only person on this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1299293

So, if you use shutter and Gnome, would you mind loading Gnome with
Wayland and see if shutter works for you?  It would be nice to know if
it's me-specific or a general problem.

I hate deleting config files.  In this case I might
make a directory "/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/.orig"
and move amavis there.

Perhaps an even better solution is to copy logwatch's
config file "/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf" to an
alternate name (eg. /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf.orig)
and edit the working copy.  It suggests keeping the
default "Service = All" followed by a line like
"Service = "-amavis".

Actually, the overrides go in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf.  I'm not 
asking how to hide it but reporting a problem in a script.

Rhythmbox F23 goes wacky

[SternData]

Before I bugzilla it, is anyone else seeing this?

Please see
http://imgur.com/rJYUlzt

From time to time, since upgrading to F23, Rhythmbox gets very confused 
about where it is on a track, shows a VERY LARGE falue from the current 
position, and stops playing.


When I close it with the X, the window goes away, but rhythmbox itself 
doesn't.  I have to kill it from a terminal session.

Re: Fedora 23 and VirtualBox: VBox Guest Additions not working properly

I have just upgraded to 23 from 22 in a virtual machine using dnf as
decribed in the Fedora Wiki, which went rather smoothly for me.

After manually installing the Guest Additions, the features "seemless

respective options in the views menu are greyed out).

The VBox kernel modules are built ok, but I get a warning saying:
"unsupported pre-release version of X.Org server installed. Not
installing the X.Org drivers."

The X log says that there is X.Org X Server 1.17.99.902 installed, which
*is* a pre-release. I guess downgrading might cure the problem, but how?

Any advice from the wise persons on this list would be greatly appreciated.


Are you using VirtualBox from the virtualbox repos or from rpmfusion? 
I'm using the VirtualBox repo version (Oracle version) and it's working 
for me.

Aside from how long it took to upgrade, clean, and verify 3203 packages, 
it went very well.  Some of my gnome extensions (downloaded from gnome, 
not from the Fedora repos) are marked "outdated" but they still work.  I 
assume updates will be forthcoming.

I think I was the original plague of 5 reporter. I replaced the keyboard
but the problem did not go away, thought it's less frequent. I'm
suspecting radio interference or something like that. I have 4 things on
my desk doing bluetooth, plus lots of WiFi in the immediate area.

I've moved the logitech dongle so it sits 3" from keyboard and the 5s
are gone.

I am getting random brief lockups in Gnome, but I suspect that's
something else.

When F23 comes out, I'm doing a clean install.

Never mind; it's happening in 4.1.6, too.  I'll assume hardware and
