There are image formats that support layers (e.g., CMYK TIFF's) where redaction could be done by manipulating a layer. It is best to convert images with layers to 8-bit indexed color for transmission -- less chance for hidden data and smaller file size. With a document format like PDF, editing text is much more involved than just putting a black box over the text, so many redaction tools don't touch the text. Before releasing such documents they should be rasterized or printed. It is good practice to check your redactions with a different image viewer. -- George N.

Possibly related to your font or desktop theme, though it's hard to see how that would affect HTML. You're more likely to get useful answer on the Evolution mailing list ( https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list). The lead devel hangs out there and is pretty responsive. Note that the list is not Fedora-specific so be sure to mention the version of Evo that's giving problems (Help->About). poc ___ 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

Who knows why ISPs do anything? In fact my ISP (Zen Internet) is pretty responsive and their support crew sound like human beings rather than droids. That said, it's clear that the thin white cable supplied with the router is simply not adequate for Gigabit Ethernet. Once I sussed the problem, it was obvious that this was the case and I should have realised it earlier. My old NAS is connected with a proper CAT-6 cable and it was going full speed. I'll be mailing Zen to let them know they should inform their customers of this. poc ___ 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
Unnecessary hard drive spin-ups
Suppose I have a "green" USB hard drive that frequently spins down the drive in order to save energy, then spins back up when a file system mounted on it is accessed. It is mounted at /var/backups. I'm logged in as a non-root user with my home directory as my current working directory. The file system containing my home directory is mounted at /home. I'm using a shell prompt via a graphical terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal, in my case). Now, I enter an 'ls' command at a bash prompt. The output doesn't appear until after my USB hard drive spins up. Note that neither /var/backups nor any directory under it is in my shell's PATH, nor is there any symlink to /var/backups in my current working directory. Thus, there should be no need to read /var/backups, yet evidently this exactly what happens. Question: why does a sleeping hard drive that has no connection with the file system I'm working with have to spin up? The behavior I would expect is that the hard drive would spin down after its file system(s) have not been accessed for a certain amount of time and would spin up if/when a file system on it is accessed. If I'd entered 'ls /var/backups' or 'cd /var/backups' or even a command that accesses all file systems (e.g., 'df') I'd totally expect the hard drive to spin up, but I don't get at all why it should spin up if I'm not accessing any data on it. I don't like this behavior for two reasons: (1) unnecessary I/O delays while waiting for a hard drive that I'm not explicitly accessing to spin up, plus (2) unnecessary wear and tear on the "green" hard drive. Other than keeping all of my hard drives spinning all the time--i.e., by using a non-green hard drive in my USB enclosure--is there any way to prevent this behavior? What might be causing it?

Old Wine RPMs
Hi All, Now that Wine Staging has be gobbled up by Wine and Wine bugs are no longer being fixed unless you put Code Weavers on your payroll, I have had to downgrade my copy of Wine, due to regression errors Wine has reintroduced since we lost Wine Staging. What is the best way to figure out what all RPM's are used on my old version of Wine, so I can download them for when my version gets aged out of the repos?

It also doesn't matter what network setting I specify in the VM settings the same thing happens on every one of them. I'm not sure at the moment what the issue is. Well, you are running VMware Player and VirtualBox as host on Windows 10. And the guest systems are Fedora. This is opposite of what I, and I suspect others here, are familiar with. My bare metal systems are all Fedora. I run both VirtualBox and QEMU virtualization without difficulty. Yes, there are some quirks. But those quirks are most likely different if your bare metal system is Windows. IMO, you probably should seek help from those running virtualization with Windows as the host system.
