Display Manager and applets
by Beartooth
Unless I'm more confused than usual, I'm currently running lxdm
(set to MATE) on F28. I'm glad to have a display manager that works; but
it denies me the two applets I use most. I normally restrict each
workspace to a single app, and keep 18 spaces open (mostly with eight or
ten in actual use); but the current setup only allows me two workspaces,
causing a clutter.
Also, eyes in each of four panels are by far the easiest way for
my ancient eyeballs to find the mouse cursor; and the current setup has
no eyes at all, afaict.
Clue, please?

portable (non-live) Fedora on an external USB drive
by Go Canes
Similar to an earlier thread [portable (really) Fedora on stick], I am
trying to create a portable Fedora 27 install on an external USB hard
drive. I have done this in the past as recently as Fedora 14, but
things have changed since then, and I seem to be hitting some
unexpected issues....
The install proceeds as expected, no apparent errors, etc. But then
when I go to boot the external drive, it immediately displays
"Operation System not found" - Note that is is "Operation", *not*
"Operating".
Googling, I found suggestions regarding setting boot flags which I
have tried to no avail.
In the thread mentioned above, there was a step to use dracut to
rebuild the initramfs files, which I have done, again to no avail.
(This step was done by using the install USB stick, the "troubleshoot"
option, and then chroot'ing into /mnt/sysimage).
Any suggestions as to what I should try next?
Some additional info....
Internal drive has been wiped, and is not bootable.
External USB drive is 4TB, and has a GPT partition table using the
default layout provided by the installer.

centos7 -- webapp setup
by bruce
Hi.
Looking at deploying test webapps. Be easy! I'm not the sysadmin/devops.
I've been looking at different sites/vids to see what's involved with
really setting up the OS for the webapp deployment. Selinux appears to
play a major role in getting everything "right".
Anyone here want to play the role of hired gun for a short convo in
how al of this gets setup?
Also, given that centos is behind in terms of php/python/etc.. are
there "better" OS/platforms to use?
Thoughts/comments ..
thanks

Feature request: line break eliminater
by Beartooth
Firefox has a feature that (I hope) might well be universal.
If I highlight a URL which my mailer (Alpine) breaks into several
lines and then paste it in, Ffx takes care of the nonce line breaks,
going right to the site. But if I copy that URL (sometimes, as with
changing an xfinity password, many seeming lines long) into any other
browser, *I* have to eliminate all the line breaks (and sometimes, not
always, introduced extraneous characters such as % a/o angle brackets).
Might not this virtue be grafted into Fedora's versions of other
browsers, or into Fedora itself?

video display problem -
by Bob Goodwin
Until recently VLC would display .3gp video clips from an iPhone full
screen on this 24" monitor. Now they are very small, perhaps less than a
two inch square.
This is the rpmfusion vlc on Fedora 27.
I suspect Apple has changed something. Am I the only one seeing this
problem? Is there a fix for it?

[F28] Unable to use ACM LaTeX class with pdflatex
by Marco Guazzone
Hello,
I'm using the latest ACM LaTeX class (version 1.53):
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/
consolidated-tex-template/acmart-master.zip
I've installed the required packages.
With Fedora 27, no problem.
Instead, with Fedora 28, when I run the following command:
$ pdflatex sample-sigconf
I get the following error:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+540/600 --dpi 540
txsys
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for txsys.
mktexpk: perhaps txsys is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
)
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file txsys): Font txsys at 540 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
As an alternative, I can use latex+dvipdfmx commands to first generate a
DVI and then convert it to a PDF. However, the resulting PDF looks
different from the one contained in the acmart-master.zip file.
I've just submitted a bug on Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595278
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
