Virtual terminals - no VISIBLE I/O
On Fedora 32 Workstation. My VTs are functional but there is not visible indication of I/O. By that I mean, I get no login or password prompt. But I can blindly login. I get no shell prompt. But I can blindly enter commands that run but they show no output in the VT. The VT system is controlled by systemD. After a boot and upon graphical login this is the status: $ systemctl | grep getty system-getty.sliceloaded active activesystem-getty.slice getty.target loaded active activeLogin Prompts A "ps -ef | grep getty" gives no output After I try to access VT #3 () without logging in, I get an additional line from the above command: getty@tty3.serviceloaded active running Getty on tty3 And the ps pipe gives this: root 4237 1 0 13:23 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux I didn't think the display manager would affect the VT system, but just in case I tried gdm, sddm, lightdm. No differences. Any clue as to why there seems to be no video connection to the VTs? Jon -- Jon H.

You can also manually edit the list at ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and remove what you don't want. They can be added back later with whatever "Open As" function your file manager has.

I want the play command to start. If you are using kde you can change the list of applications that can open various mimetypes by going to "System Settings->Personalization->Applications->File Associations". This has a list of a number of mimetype categories, each containing a list of mimetypes. Its just a matter of going through these lists to find the mimetype relevant to the file you are trying to display and then modifying the list of applications that can work with that mimetype. The application that is listed at the top of the list for the relevant mimetype is the default application to use, you can either add a new application to the list and/or change the order of the applications. regards, Steve Thx in advance, Frank Elsner ___ 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 ___ 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
possibly OT: emacs update on Fedora does not like my default font
Hello, After last night's update to emacs on F32, I can no longer use emacs with my default font. When I fire it up, I get a second window open and the following: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/user/.emacs’: Symbol's function definition is void: set-default-font To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. My own .emacs has the following set at: (set-default-font "10x20") Any suggestions as to what I should look at/change?

The Emacs NEWS file says that set-default-font was one of many obsolete functions that were removed in version Emacs 27.

ssh reverse tunnel as a service?
Hi, I have a fedora32 system behind a firewall without any access from the outside. I'd like to build a reverse ssh tunnel so I can get to it from my remote location while working remotely. I'm familiar with how remote ssh tunnels work, but can't quite get systemctl to create a proper service, presumably because ssh expects to be tied to a terminal. I've built the following shell script. I believe "bash -s" can be used to spawn processes not connected to a terminal. # cat /etc/init.d/ssh-tunnel.sh #!/bin/bash -s ssh -i /root/.ssh/orion-key -R 43022:localhost:22 r...@orion.example.com I was using this script in a unit file, but got closer to what I want by placing the ssh command itself into the unit file as the ExecStart parameter. # cat /etc/systemd/system/connection.service [Unit] Description=Reverse SSH to orion After=network.target [Service] Type=forking #EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/sshd-permitrootlogin #EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/sshd #ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ssh-tunnel.sh ExecStart=ssh -tt -i /root/.ssh/orion-key -R 43022:localhost:22 r...@orion.example.com #ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID User=root KillMode=process Restart=on-failure #RestartSec=42s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I also read that -tt can be passed to ssh to start it on a pseudo-terminal. I then added the unit file as a service using "systemctl enable connection.service" Can someone guide me on the unit parameters I should be using for this?

I did this a long time ago, so visualize me waving my hands frantically. You presumably want the "-n" flag (detaches from stdin), or possibly the "-f" flag (implies "-n" but allows prompting for a passphrase, but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for a service). The man page is pretty good, and has a discussion of using the tun(4) network pseudo-device.
