No way to set hostname during install from f28 live?
by Tom Horsley 02 May '18

02 May '18

I'm installing fedora 28 from the "install to disk" option of the workstation live CD. I don't appear to ever get an opportunity to set the hostname to anything other than the default localhost.localdomain. Did I miss it, or is this just something I need to change following the install?

Claws-Mail doesn't start on FC28.

Claws-Mail doesn't start on FC28 because it can't find libnsl.so.1. A softlink to libnsl.so.2 fixes the issue. -- Venlig hilsen, Erik P. Olsen

F28 - minor issues with localization
by Antonio M 01 May '18

I updated both my systems: I note that some menus are in english (activities instead of attivita' - italian) Poweroff instead of spegni, and the sytems ask me to change name of some folders...(that I denied) What is the component to blame??

Thunderbird issue (OT).
by William Mattison 01 May '18

Good morning, When I try to sign in to a (verizon) yahoo e-mail account via Thunderbird, it takes several seconds to get a response, then I often get this error message: ------ Thunderbird The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account [my e-mail account] responded: [CLIENTBUG] SELECT Command is not valid in this state. ------ I then have to exit Thunderbird, and sign in again to all the accounts I want to connect to. I usually have to do this 2-4 times before it finally downloads the folder structure and message headers successfully (though v-e-r-y slowly). I experience this problem randomly but frequently (almost daily) with all 6 of my (verizon) yahoo accounts. My incoming server is set to "imap.mail.yahoo.com:993"; my outgoing server is set to "smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465"; connection security is set to "SSL/TLS". Yahoo e-mail does not work properly in my browser, so that's not a good work-around. I've checked both yahoo and Thunderbird on-line help; I get nothing really helpful, though I notice the problem is not unique to me. What's the real cause of this problem, and what do I fix it? Thank-you for your help. Bill.

Fedora 28 today?
by Danny Horne 01 May '18

01 May '18

Just checked the release schedule, and target #1 has been crossed off the list, meaning (by my understanding) that today is the confirmed release date. Anyone know if an official announcement will be made here? If not, where are official announcements made?

Mate Session + child Caja consuming 98% of io badwidth to/from boot drive
by JD 30 Apr '18

I have not seen this before, so I do not know what might be causing this. All tasks are quiescent, except that I am watching a youtube video. So I stopped the YT video and waited to see if the activity of Caja would abate. NOP!!! It stays at 92 to 98 %
