Fedora 30 Copy/Paste Not Working
Hello Dear Friends Copying something from a browser window (Firefox) and pasting it on a terminal (Xfce, Gnome, Mate) was not working . Then I discovered copy/paste is not working anywhere, Gedit, Libreoffice and such. Then I searched the Net and got this link: http://irawoodring.net/fedora-xfce4-and-clipit-wayland/ After that I made an 'Exit' from the running instance of Clippit and now copy/paste works. Later I will do the 'dnf remove clippit' and 'shutdown -r now'. Thought it may help someone else like me. -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/ ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

F30->F31 systemd-networkd no IPv6 autoconfiguration
After a successful "dnf systemd upgrade" F30->F31, I'm finding that a few of my machines which use systemd-networkd instead of NetworkManager are no longer autoconfiguring IPv6 addresses. I also noticed that even though NetworkManager is disabled, it is initiated in early boot, which I'm not sure is related. It appears as though the system isn't assigning the link-local address and therefore can't communicate via IPv6. If anyone has any pointers on where to begin, I'd appreciate it.
