Tor browser launcher.
Hi All, I did an update for the torbrowser-launcher today to version 0.3.1-1.fc29.noarch and suddenly I can not launch the browser anymore . Question : What is wrong and / or how can I solve this problem ?

No more GRUB menu after upgrade
I have just upgraded my F29 with dnf upgrade -y I continued to use the system without reboot and it suddenly stopped working. Only the mouse was working. Ctrl+Alt+FN did not work but I was able to ssh and reboot. It took a while to close linux before rebooting and then I did not get the usual GRUB menu where I can choos the kernel but instead just a black screen with a blinking cursor. So I suspect that the upgrade broke GRUB and I cannot load fedora anymore. I am probably able to boot with a USB stick. What should I do to go back to normal?

I see you got to the grub menu eventually, but in case it helps, there is a change in F29 to hide the grub menu by default.

For example, if I set it to show "Groups", "Not installed", "in names", search string blank, then click "Quit", then the next time I launch the tool, even after re-boot and log in (same user), or log out - log in (same user), the tool will show all groups that are available but not installed on the workstation.

Re: Thunderbird-yahoo e-mail authentication and security. [SOLVED]
The problem that motivated this thread seems to have (magically!) disappeared. Perhaps the problem was on the verizon-yahoo end. I use Thunderbird almost exclusively (>99%) for my e-mail. All accounts are set to "SSL/TLS" and "Normal password". If I understand Tim and Rick correctly, authentication is already encrypted, but the messages themselves are not (or does SSL/TLS also apply to the messages being passed between yahoo and me?). So, these are the best settings for my situation. Encryption of messages would be great, but with multiple accounts and I-don't-know-how-many-correspondents, that seems like a logistical nightmare. So I consider this issue SOLVED. Thank-you Rick and Tim. I'm curious: in the HyperKitty version of this list, if I click "Sign In", I get a page with 10 choices of ways to log in. Is this (9 of those 10 choices) an example of OAuth2?

The _connection_ is SSL-encrypted, so anything going over that link is SSL-encrypted (including your username/password). You could use an encrypted password (if your provider supports it), but it's sorta redundant in this case. If you were using no encryption on the connection, THEN you'd probably want an encrypted password, but the mail itself wouldn't be encrypted. Note that the encryption only covers the transport over the Internet between your machine and the server. The content of the mail is not stored encrypted once it hits the server or your machine. If you want the _content_ encrypted as well, you'd need to GPG-encrypt it and share your public key with the recipient so they could decode it. > So I consider this issue SOLVED.

Is this (9 of > those 10 choices) an example of OAuth2? If you mean the buttons at the top (Fedora, Google, Twitter, GitLab, etc.), yes, that's OAuth2 stuff which permits you to use your account on one of those systems to authenticate. > Happy New Year everyone!

I don't know what is wrong. If you launch it from an xterm, are there any error messages printed before it fails? If you look in the journal immediately after it fails using journalctl -r, are there any messages there? It's possible that a library it needs was updated with it, but the version currently in use is the wrong version. Running, as root, ldconfig, would reload the libraries. I'm not sure if dnf does that automatically when it updates a library. If that fails try a reboot (if it is a library problem). There could be a problem with the spec file, and it has a dependency on another package that isn't explicit, so it is failing because that dependency hasn't been updated. The error messages should help pinpoint the issue. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

That does happen. Also, if you've had a few unsuccessful connections, a server may lock you out for a prolonged time.
