system crashes - is there a way/app/process to restore the system?
by bruce
Hey guys.
Had a system crash, and was wondering, in the fed/centos world (v6 and
above -guess that would be fed 22??) is there a process that can
basically scan the system, so that if the system crashes, everything
would be auto started on restart.
Also, would it allow the gedit processes to be fired up with the
requisite files being edited??
I saw something for ubuntu - dconf-editor, and I've seen some things
within the gconf where you can specify certain processes to be run on
startup.
But I'm more looking for something I can run, so that if I have a
crash, the system is pretty much back running prior to the crash.
Thoughts/Comments??

dnf reposync documentation?
by CLOSE Dave
# uname -a
Linux machine 4.9.9-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Feb 9 17:28:13 UTC 2017

# man dnf.plugin.reposync
No manual entry for dnf.plugin.reposync
Copying arguments from my working (YUM) reposync command doesn't work.

Trying a simple command per the help output above.

Evidently the command syntax is a bit confused. I get different ideas
from the two commands.
Can anyone point me to the real documentation of this command? Or tell
me how to translate my YUM command to the DNF equivalent?

Non-working Fn key on Asus eeePC 900
by Robert Moskowitz
My old Asus 900 got broken (I slipped on ice and it and its carry pouch
saved me from injury, but broke the screen). It was running F21 (never
got around to upgrading).
Got a 'new' Asus 900. Left mouse button does not work, but I will
switch mouse buttons later. I DID switch drives (and memory), and my
F21/Xfce system comes right back up. Except.
No Fn key, so no home or end or pgup or etc button.
lsmod|grep eee
shows eeepc_laptop
I hope it is not a bad key, but I can switch keyboards too if needed.
How do I fix this?
thanks

Looks like I missed 2 things :
set selinux to permissive.
systemctl enable cups-lpd.socket
systemctl start cups-lpd.socket
I now set SElinux to permissive. When I want to go back to enforcing, which
"flags" do I have to set. I already tried with
"sysem-config-selinux-->boolean to tick the boxes with cups and lpd.
But that did not solve the problem.

cups-lpd ... How???
by Jouk Jansen
Hi all,
I'm trying to setup my Fedora 25 system as a lpd server so that it can
receive jobs for the local printer queue. So far I did:
1) install cups-lpd
2) open up port 515 in the firewall
3) set "print from network" in the cups interface
4) reboot of my machine
Still I cannot print from a remote client. What am I missing in the
configuration?
Regards
Jouk

Mirror iPhone in Totem -
by Bob Goodwin
I found the following on Google:
https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+access+and+use+github
*yum install totem*
The next step is to clone the totem
airplay plugin from github to the totem
plugin folder in your own machine:
*cd ~/local/share/totem/plugins/airplay*
*git clone
https://github.com/dveeden/totem-plugin-airplay*
create the folders first if you don’t
have them.
Next, open totem player.
Enable the airplay plugin from the *edit
> plugins configuration* screen. You
can now Airplay from iphone or ipad to
linux!
Can I make this work in Fedora 25? I
tried this but github wants "Username
for 'https://github.com': Paraphrase"
and I don't know how to deal with that
either?
Perhaps there is a Fedora scheme for
doing this? Any help appreciated.

[OT] bash help
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
My brain cell ran away from home. I have an incredibly simple script
that doesn't do what I expect. I use "mkdir DIR; cd DIR" a lot so I'm
trying to put it in a script: "~/bin/mdcd".
After checking that $1 exists:
dir="$1"
mkdir -p "$dir"
cd "$dir" <------ never executes
The directory is created so there is no error there.
Huh? Insight anyone?
Thanks,
Mike Wright

mate-terminal launcher oddity
by Jon LaBadie
On a Fedora 25 system running the mate desktop environment
I have three terminal launchers in my top panel. The
commands executed are:
1. mate-terminal
2. mate-terminal --geometry 96x30+130+280 -t MUMS -x ssh -Y mums
3. mate-terminal --geometry 96x30+90+130 -t CYBER -x ssh -Y cyber
If # 3. is launched when no other terminal session is running two
similar sized windows appear, one with the ssh session, the other
with no shell or ssh apparent. If either window is closed, the
other closes as well.
But if another terminal session, 1. and/or 2. is already running
when I launch 3., 3. comes up as a single window. Actually I
briefly see the extra window, but it immediately closes leaving
the one containing the ssh session.
I never see the extra window behavior when the nearly identical
launcher 2. is executed.
Perhaps the odd behavior of launcher 3. is somehow related to
mate-terminal running as a single process no matter how many
terminals are open. But why the different behavior of 2. vs 3.?
