I was a little too fast :-)
dnf search ftp |  grep x86_64 
will do.
Obviously dnf is not mature enough,  yet.

It is useful if you have wifi and/or made a lot of testing with

Alternative:

~/.ssh/config
CheckHostIP
   If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will additionally 
check
   the host IP address in the known_hosts file.  This allows 
ssh to
   detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing.  If the 
option
   is set to ``no'', the check will not be executed.  The 
default is
   ``yes''.

With the first install from the F12 distribution on the HP ProBook 4710s

After first update everything works O.K.

What means behaving properly? Obeying your rules?
And i don't use DE, i'm using fvwm Window Manager.
The answer will probably be: use modern DE.
DE with the ridiculous big icons, designed for touch screen.
But i don't have one. I'm using workstation with keyboard and mouse.
Keyboard as primary!

Am i too outdated? Probably yes. When i started, the memory was
measured in KB, external storage in MB and power in KW.

As long i can install MTA and the applications will send notifications
via email, it is o.k. for me.
Otherwise i can use Windoze crap.
It seems this is the way where all this heads to.

It is not a problem how and when the MTA is installed.
It was announced in release notes.

Regarding to
http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2013/10/cinnamon-2-0-released/
it is not true anymore.

...
What’s new under the hood
Cinnamon Backend 2.0

Prior to version 2.0, and similar to Shell or Unity, Cinnamon was a frontend on 
top of the GNOME desktop.

In version 2.0, and similar to MATE or Xfce, Cinnamon is an entire desktop 
environment built on GNOME technologies. It still uses toolkits and libraries 
such as GTK or Clutter and it is still compatible with all GNOME applications, 
but it no longer requires GNOME itself to be installed. It now communicates 
directly with its own backend services, libraries and daemons: 
cinnamon-desktop, cinnamon-session and cinnamon-settings-daemon.

Tnx. Very flexible, almost perfect.

Still have problem with tabs.
IMHO tabs are for full screen browsing, not my style of work.
Middle button still open window in tabs instead of new window.
Right click, select open new window is annoying.
Anybody know the solution?

If package conflicts with the local package, without this info, will never be

Update of one of the conflicting package can be more important then the
other.

Some good news (kernel 4.6?) posted on linux-wireless list:

From: Jes Sorensen  
Hi,
This is a small set of changes to the rtl8xxxu driver which cleans up
the naming of the TX data descriptors, and also prepares for further
for adding rtl8192eu support.
Cheers,
Jes

Until then

dkms-rtl8192eu-4.3.1.1-11320.20151212.f23.bob.src.rpm
Size 1.7M

If you're interested, i can upload this somewhere or send it by email.
I don't have any public accessible storage.

It is worth looking  at http://www.mikrotik.com/

I'm using hAP lite and i'm very satisfied.
Flat is 100 sq meters, brick wals, no problem with wifi.
Not to mention excelent RouterOS.

It was occured to me on F16 several times.
Killing X restores the keyboard.
Reading this thread tried with holding shift key 20+ seconds restores
too.
It shouldn't be tied to WM, running Fvwm.

http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.1/doc/twm.1.htmlIcons

{ win-list }
This variable specifies a list of window names and the bitmap filenames 
that should be used as their icons. For example:


Icons
{
"XTerm""xterm.icon"
"xfd""xfd_icon"
}

Windows that match ``XTerm'' and would not be iconified by unmapping, and 
would try to use the icon bitmap in the file ``xterm.icon''. If ForceIcons is 
specified, this bitmap will be used even if the client has requested its own 
icon pixmap. 
...

I'm advise you to try the fvwm as a lightweigth WM.

This is an excerpt from my  ~/fvwm/config
...

What is wrong with autofs and in 
/etc/auto.master
# Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs
# The included files must conform to the format of this file.
#
/media  /etc/auto.master.d/auto.media --timeout=60 --ghost

and in

/etc/auto.master.d/auto.media
#
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
WD500-MyBook-fstype=auto,noatime,nodiratime 
:/dev/disk/by-label/WD500-MyBook

It works for me. Not USB, it is eSATA.
Do we realy need all this systemd monolythic crap?
Will Linux abandon unix and become Windows?

But to list it, the command is "dir".
Seems almost nobody is using the command line.

What's going on with net.ipv4.conf.???.rp_filter ?

[Bob Marcan]

Hi. 
With previous kernel 3.18.5-101.fc20.x86_64
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.${interface}.rp_filter=0
was enough to run iptv.

With kernel 3.18.6-100.fc20.x86_64
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 is needed to  get it run.

It is not the first time to observe this.
Does anyone have some clue about this?

autofs + simple-mtfs:

/etc/auto.master.d/auto.mpt

Re: mtp devices

[Bob Marcan]

Did you try to access the directory, where it should be mounted?
nb: ls  /home/bob/MPT/AnyMPT
It will not apppear automagically under graphical file manager, 
at least mine (FileRunner), until someone will touch something inside mount 
point.

On my Lenovo tablet, when connected to USB, i have 3 choices:
CONNECT AS
Media device (MPT)
Camera (PTP)
Charge only

On Samsung S3 phone, there are no such choices.
Both works with this setup.
Check your device.

Another way:
Install from Google play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arachnoid.sshelper&hl=en 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arachnoid.sshelper&hl=en
Configure sshelper.

From memory:
ssh-keygen (if it doesn't exist yet)
ssh -p  root@
ssh-copy-id  -p  root@
Test this, so you can connect without password:
ssh -p  root@

Here we are again at autofs:
/etc/auto.master
...
/home/bob/SSHFS /etc/auto.master.d/auto.sshfs --timeout=30 --ghost
...

/etc/auto.master.d/auto.sshfs
...
GalaxyS3
-fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,max_read=65535,transform_symlinks,allow_other,reconnect,port=
 :sshfs\#galaxys3\:/
Lenovo   
-fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,max_read=65535,transform_symlinks,allow_other,reconnect,port=
 :sshfs\#lenovo\:/
...
To trigger automount:
nb: ls /home/bob/SSHFS/Lenovo

Hope it will help.
If it will not, please send me private mail with attached:
/etc/auto.master
/etc/auto.master.d/auto.mpt.d/auto.sshfs
/etc/auto.master.d/auto.mpt

BR, Bob

P.S.
My english is lousy. It's not my native language.
Don't mention the grammar. Hope you will never heard my accent :-)

Just tried to rebuild aeskulap on F22. Too many errors.

What about http://amide.sourceforge.net/ ?
Rebuild was done without any problems.
Dependencies are  in Fedora repository.
I can see demo images (error on the initial window).
Unfortunately i can't find the CD with my own images to look at it.
If you have problems to rebuild the package, 
i can send you .rpm and .srpm.

Realtek rtl8192eu driver

[Bob Marcan]

Hi.
I got some  usb dongles with the rtl8192eu chip. 
COMFAST Wireles-N USB Adapter, Model CF-WU835P.
What is the status of the driver? Will be available in the future?
Tried with the driver from
WNP-UA-005_driver_F85DC3AB-5E10-41B9-80DE-539993DB0BB7.zip
(rtl8192EU_linux_v4.3.1.1_11320.20140505.tar.gz).
Tried with the ndiswrapper.
No success. Any ideas?

Works! Tnx.
Googling for the solution, i filtered out non english entries.
google translate was now my friend.

Downloaded dkms doesn't work properly.
At installation it provides proper 8192eu.ko module.
After kernel upgrade and reboot, dkms installs the old module.
Probably it doesn't clean up and in the next iteration only installs
already compiled module. I'll investigate this further.

This dongle doesn't support AP mode, which i'm overlooked.

I got the same symptoms when using gdm + fvwm.
With lightdm + fvwm are gone.

/usr/bin/xkbset -accessx is the cure under gdm.

This is the modeline which works:

ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1088 1125

Now i can watch movies and tv  in living room.
Wireless mouse + fvwm is enough.
Bye xbmc and DLNA, it's more comfortable to have complete desktop on TV.

HW (H264) acceleration is working too.
If anyone is interested:

and

xvba-video-0.7.8-0.f18.bob.src.rpm
xvba-video-0.7.8-0.f18.bob.src.rpm


Since i don't (and don't want) to have a web server, i can provide this
only by email. Binaries too, if you wish.

According to the few first lines in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates

"grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" is the proper way.

Troubles with the claws-mail

[Bob Marcan]

Fedora 33 up to date (Sun Jun  6 11:47:43 CEST 2021)
claws-mail-3.17.8-1.fc33.x86_64)

In claws-mail keyboard key "k" is ignored.
Same key is working in all other applications.
So it is not a keyboard problem. :-)
Does anybody have an idea where is the problem?

After moving the window to VGA-1, new window again appears on LVDS-1.
No matter if the screen is primary or not.

Any clue?
