multiple GUI logins and mounting external drives
by Tim
Hi,
If I use the GUI switch user feature, so that two users are currently
logged into the same PC, graphically (and you can switch between them
using CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F2), I frequently find that whenever I
plug in a USB drive, or SD card, that nothing pops up on the login that
I'm using. It nearly always pops an authentication window on the other
login.
It doesn't matter which one I'm currently using, it nearly always uses
the other one. Surely the system knows which one is currently on-
display, and should use that one?

"Malformed URL" popup when trying to mount an external drive (KDE)
by PropAAS DBA
All;
I'm running Fedora 27 KDE spin, fully updated. Every time I plug in an
external drive, no matter what file system is on the drive (i.e. a
windows usb stick, an ext4 external ssd drive, etc) and click "Open With
File Manager" I get a popup that simply says "Malformed URL" with the
only option / button of "OK". The drive does mount, but the error is
annoying.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

OT: little help for fixing a spreadsheet template
by Antonio Olivares
Dear kind folks,
I asked for a little bit of help regarding a spreadsheet sports template. We have a different system than the regular 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. In our system we have 3 points for a win(in regulation), 2 points for a win(in OT/PKS-penalty kick shootout), 1 point for a loss(in OT/PKS), and 0 for a loss in regulation. There is a website that has some nice templates to use and all we need is to cut the competition to two rounds only as we play round-robin and we need to modify the existing templates to figure this out for us.
http://excel-example.com/templates/sport-tournament-template
In the comments section, the question has been asked in the comments section but no replies to that question. Usually the scores are entered as
Use 1- first half 2- second half OT1 overtime 1st period, OT2- 2nd Overtime period and PKS-penalty-kicks
Team1 1-0 2-0 OT1-0 OT2-0 PKS-3
Team2 1-0 2-0 OT1-0 OT2-0 PKS-2
so Team1 wins 1 to 0 in PKS there are 0 goals added to the GF and 0 goals added to GA and earns 2 points
Team2 looses 1 to 0 in PKS and gets 0 goals in favor and 0 goals against and earns 1 point
This should happen for all the games to be played. We were in a 6 team district and now we will be moved to an 8 team district.
We can open the spreadsheet with LibreOffice and keep using xlsx and/or convert it to ods.
Thanks for any help/advice/suggestions.
Best Regards,
Antonio

The IPA Server hostname must not resolve to localhost (127.0.0.1). A
routable IP address must be used.
by Peter Bittner
Hi there,
I'm trying to set up an all-in-one infrastructure system (using Vagrant), which included FreeIPA, libvirt and The Foreman, and some other software. The Idea is that I (locally) bootstrap such a system that helps users to create their definite infrastructure management setup in the end.
Naturally, this entails that FreeIPA is installed on localhost. This, however, doesn't seem to work: The `ipa-server-install` script aborts and issues the following error message:
The IPA Server hostname must not resolve to localhost (127.0.0.1). A routable IP address must be used. [...]
Is there any way to make a local install happen? Or what do I have to do instead?
Any thoughts and ideas highly appreciated,
Peter

shutdown messages
by François Patte
Bonjour,
While shutdowning, I can see, but have not the time to read, some
strange messages on the console. These messages are not logged. Is there
a way to slow down the message display at shutdown.
A good tool would be an "interactive" shutdown: press a key to access
the next displayed page of messages.
Thank you.

new selinux question
by François Patte
Bonjour,
Today I wanted to activate the dictd service on my computer. This failed
and I received a selinux alert: mdadm wanted to access something... No
connection with dictd.
After a few researches, I was sure that selinux was blocking the dictd
start. But the selinux troobleshooter only refers only to the first 40
alerts and I had to go to the audit logs to find out what was the
problem with the dictd service.
Why is se-troobleshooter is so limited?
Thank you

Installing connman broke my /etc/resolv.conf
by Artur Iwicki
After I installed the connman package, my system failed to resolve domain names. Even after removing connman, the errors persisted. I fiddled around with /etc/resolv.conf and noticed that I get "failed to write to linked file" errors. I performed "ls -l" and saw the following dangling symlink:
/etc/resolv.conf -> /var/run/connman/resolv.conf
After removing it and creating an empty file for /etc/resolf.conf, everything returned to normal.
Can the connman maintainer check if the package installs and removes itself correctly?

Dual screen
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I noted a small issue when using dual screening (primary and secondary displays).
If you have windows open in different workspaces, they all move in
workspace 1 after a screen lock.
Is it a configuration issue or something else?
