off-topic : Adobe reader doesn't show file window
by Antonio M
as Adobe Reader cannot be fully replaced by evince or other application, I
note that if I start Acroread and I use the File/open menu, it doesn't
work. Using acroread name_of_file in a terminal it works. Any idea? sorry
for the off-topic

Mate + F28
by Paolo Galtieri
Folks,
shortly after F28 was released I upgraded one of my systems to F28
using fedup. Since that day, despite all the updates I have installed,
I still cannot run the MATE desktop on that system. Before the upgrade,
when the system ran F27, I ran MATE without any problems. Now as soon
as I login I get a screen that is completely messed up :-(. However, if
instead of the MATE desktop I select the Gnome Classic desktop, it
appears just fine and I can use it. This problem with F28 and MATE does
not affect just this one system, I upgraded a second system and created
to F28 VMs, one under VirtualBox and one under VMware. Of these 4 F28
systems, the only one that is usable with the MATE desktop is the VM
under VirtualBox.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the problem? As I said
this worked fine under F27.
I am reluctant to upgrade my 2 primary systems until this issue is resolved.
Here's the output of lspci.

VDQ "dm"
by Beartooth
This has to be a Very Dumb Question, but what is the difference
between a "display manager" and a "desktop manager"?
I'm trying to run MATE on F28, and succeeding to the extent that
I do have a more or less MATE-like GUI, but only by grace of still having
an F26 rescue kernel. (Two PCs without that kernel are unable to give any
GUI at all. All I can do is keep a console open and run dnf upgrade once
or twice a day, using an F28 rescue kernel, with reboots whenever any
kernel is mentioned.) And this GUI does not afford me the panel applets I
use most.
In quest of better, I've been experimenting with various apps
called *dm. Most do better than lightdm (which I started with), but not
yet a whole lot better.
Some will say I oughtn't to run Fedora at all, but at this point
my accumulated ignorance has reached a level where any other distro would
tie me up in even more knots.

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?
