Re: keyboard producing diacritics (acute accent, dot-above,
cedilla-below)
by George R Goffe
Hi,
I have tested for this "bug" under Gnome and find that it (the "bug")
has gone away. KDE apparently has some bugs outstanding along with one
whose component that handles menuing in the desktop and the one (same
one?) that handles/registers apps that start up, contains other apps,
displays virtual desktops, presents various KDE menus, displays the time of day and some other things.
Again, THANKS to everyone who help with this problem,
George...

I just installed a fresh system (KDE desktop) using
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20170714.n.0.iso followed by a "dnf update". No
problems with input firefox as far as I can tell.
But, since you're talking about F27/Rawhide you may be better served on the test list.

waaaaaaay off topic!! (httpd infinite redirects)
by bruce
Hey guys...
thanks for all the help, and eyeballs i get from you all. much appreciation!!
I've got an issue, that really has nothing to do with Fed/Centos,
etc.. But I figured I'd toss it out here, maybe someone can have an
offline conversation to figure it out. I'll even toss some $$ if it's
required!
I've got a site (drupal+mod) that's throwing an infinite redirect.
I've been searching high/low, as well as modifying/testing the
httpd.conf, .htaccess, and the setting file for the app.
Other's have had similar issues, and I'm spinning my head on this.
Pretty sure this is going to be a "doh" issue when I solve it!
If you're bored, and have a few mins and want to take a stab, let me
know. I've got paste files with the data I've got so far.
Thanks

Network dies on laptop lid closure
by William Oliver
I'm running Fedora 26 on a slightly old HP laptop using KDE. One minor
irritation is that whenever I close the lid of the laptop, the network
turns off -- both wifi and wired.
I do a lot of downloads. I like to start one, close the lid, and set
the machine aside while I do other tasks. But I can't, because the
network turns off.
A quick search using Google indicates that this is a recurrent issue.
The solutions I've tried are;
1) Use the power management GUI in KDE system settings to set "Button
events handling -> When laptop lid closed -> Do nothing"
This stopped the machine from going into hibernation, but the network
still turned off.
2) Edited /etc/systemd/logind-conf to set
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
and, when that didnt' work after reboot, I added:
3) LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
even though I'm not sure what that does. That didn't work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
This was an issue with Fedora 25, too, but not Fedora 24. I never got
around to dealing with it in 25 because of time issues.
Thanks!

Re: Network dies on laptop lid closure

My (F24) laptop's lid behavior, configured in the MATE control center, is
to blank the display and leave everything else alone. The machine can
overheat with the display running and the lid closed.

problem with Viber (F26)

Hello,
F25 --> F26 upgrade was, in general, great experience, but there are some
problems to be solved (here), like inability to run desktop version of Viber
app.
Attempt to launch it segfaults:

Took drive out of laptop and put in a carrier and found that the
partitions were totally screwed. According to cfdisk, the partitions
left over 1E bytes free. I would love to have an SSD with over an
Exabyte of space.
Repartitioned the drive with cfdisk, created the luks containers and
formatted with no errors.
Now the issue is, is the problem the old laptop or the installer not
partitioning the drive properly.

Supergrub
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I tried to create an USB stick with supergrub2 ready to run, but I
failed (I want to keep the other partitions of the stick as it is).
I tried several options available on the internet.
1) unetbootin
(cannot find a boot on the stick)
as well as:
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/forum/index.php?topic=736.msg1981#msg1981
Did not work
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SGD_Howto_make#How_to_make_a_Super_Grub...
Do not use the official method
Does not work
I did not try the Official method (not recommended)
I on tried the linux and fedora recommended method.
https://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-grub2-on-usb-from-ubuntu-linux/
grub2-install --force --removable --boot-directory=/mnt/tmp/boot /dev/sdc
cd /mnt/tmp/boot/grub2
wget pendrivelinux.com/downloads/grub.cfg
dd if=/iso-image/super_grub2_disk_x86_64_efi_2.02s9.iso of=/mnt/tmp/super_grub2_disk_x86_64_efi_2.02s9.iso
Any idea ?
Thank.

tar failure
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I got: tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
How can I finish the process?
I do not want to restart the tar, I only would like to tar the rest
(directory).
I do not see the logic that tar uses to create the archive
Can I guess this logic? and only tar the missing ?
Thank
