After this morning's dnf upgrade of Thunderbird I would like to try Claws mail. I would like to configure claws to display white text on a black background but have not been able to find how to do that. Suggestions appreciated.

Fan/sleep/hibernation issues on Dell Optiplex 780 usff fedora 22
by Matt Morgan 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

I have F22 on my son's Optiplex 780 ultra-small form factor. We seem to have a variety of (maybe related) power management issues. First, the fan often goes full-speed and starts making lots of noise. Usually this is when the computer is actually doing more work, like running Minecraft. Sometimes it happens when watching Youtube videos. Since these are the two main things he does with the computer, it pretty much always happens eventually. Second, when this happens, and he then suspends the computer, the fan stays on during suspend. It never quiets down. So I don't think the computer is suspending properly. Third, if I hibernate the computer, the fan shuts off, but the computer actually shuts down--when he returns from hibernation, he has to log in to a new session, his apps have all shut down, etc. I used to use this computer (several years ago--it was probably F16, maybe 18) and I don't recall these issues, so I believe they must be fixable. I tried installing TLP, not expecting much from it on a desktop, but figuring it wouldn't hurt, and it didn't appear to change anything. Any advice about where to start with this? Thanks, Matt

intel graphics driver fails to detect resolution
by Neal Becker 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

It seems if I plug in an external projector, using displayport with a vga adapter, I can only get the resolution choice detected if I reboot. Using kde/settings/display+monitor, the resolution is unavailable, unless I reboot. Any suggestion?

Fedora 23 log out automatically when login session left idle
by Jon Ingason 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

I newly upgraded one of my machine from F22 to F23 (Gnome) and got following problem: I start the machine and login. Open a terminal and do what I need to do ( update, ... etc). Then I left it idle for awhile. The screen locks. Later after couple of minutes I tray to unlock it and if the idle time is short nearly always I succeed to log in. Otherwise I get the login menu and can select user to login. The problem it that when I have typed in the password I come again to the login menu. I can switch to one of the VT (virtual terminal) and login there, but if I try to switch back either nothing happens or I get login menu but can't login. I have search for this but has not found exact same problem. There is a reported bug which describe similar problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266587 But any workaround given there didn't help. My questions are: - Have someone else seen this? - How to troubleshoot? - Do I open new bug report? -- Regards Jon Ingason

IPv6 and NetworkManager
by Gordon Messmer 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

On most of the networks where I have hosts, the Ethernet interface has an inet6 address with a 64 bit netmask and flags "scope global noprefixroute dynamic." On a Comcast Business network, though, my hosts have one inet6 address with a 64 bit netmask and the same flags, plus another inet6 address with a 128 bit netmask and flags "scope global dynamic." Testing shows that these hosts use the address with the 128 bit netmask by default as the source address for outbound connections. I'm a little confused about the details here. Why are my hosts getting multiple addresses with different prefixes?
