My google-chrome comes from Google itself, but that wasn't
the problem. I had added a 3rd party repository a long time
ago (UnitedRPM)...I have long since forgotten the reason, but
the ffmpeg package if was offering conflcited with the package(s)
from rpm fusion. I dumped UnitedRPM and the problem is gone.

Patching oddity
by Chris Kottaridis
The history of this machine is that Fedora 25 was initially installed
and then I have been using the system upgrade to keep upgrading it to
the newer release. I just upgraded it to Fedora29 two weeks ago.
I use dnfdragora GUI tool to do the patching. When I selected ALL of the
packages "to update" I got a transaction error complaining that
dnf-utils and yum-utils were in conflict on some files. When I ran it
from the command line the dnf-utils package was in a category to be
installed with a note about "weak dependency". Not exactly sure what
that means.
I figured I would apply subsets of the packages available to update but
avoid anything that looked like it had anything to do with dnf, such as
other dnf-* packages and packages referring to repositories and such. I
figured I'd come back to them later. I didn't want a dependency to pull
in dnf-utils and get me back in the problem I had.
So, I'd select a dozen or so packages in dnfdragora and apply them and
then select another group. I apparently wasn't to good at selecting
packages that didn't have dnf-* dependencies because every once in a
while one of the dnf-* files was brought in due to dependencies. Since
none ever included dnf-utils I went and ahead and selected apply.
In the end all the packages ended up applying without errors and
dnfdragora claimed everything is up to date and there is nothing to do.
When I looked dnf-utils is not installed, yum-utils still is.
So, I am confused why when I try to apply ALL the updates at once dnf
claims dnf-utils needs to be installed, but if I apply them in small
groups dnf says everything is up to date but dnf-utils isn't installed ?
I am concerned that I will continue to run into this.
Is dnf-utils supposed to replace yum-utils ?
Is this a ramification of continually upgrading the OS instead of
installing a new version and moving over my application ?
This was always my concern about upgrading OS's. Experience taught me
that an upgrade to a release doesn't leave you in the same place as a
fresh install of the same release. But, I should say I love this OS
upgrade system. It definitely made my life easier and has gone off with
little hitches. Fedora versions cycle so quickly that I would have used
a different OS for this project without it. Cudos to the team that
implemented it! But if there are minor cleanups necessary, such as
cleaning out older packages that are no longer needed and may conflict
with newer packages, that would be good to know.

Gnome settings -> Online accounts and tor hidden services
by Robin Lee
Hi
I wonder if there's away to configure a Nextcloud account in Online
Accounts or otherwise that would connect to a Nextcloud server that
resides on a tor hidden service, i.e. it would need to connect to an
onion address.
Cheers

Yup. They came from UnitedRPM, which was in conflict with the ones
from rpmfusion.
I don't recall why I added the UnitedRPM repository....but it's gone now.

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.

Is there a work around or should I just wait ?

usb devices in gnome boxes with windows
by Alessandro
Hi everyone,
I write this post to ask for information about a problem I encounter on
gnome boxes. I tried to install both Windows 7 and Windows 10 ltsb, but
neither of them for having installed Windows guest tools for Spice when I
insert a USB key (usb2, usb3 etc.) and from the settings of boxes I apply
the shared USB stick, this is detected in Windows, but not configured and
therefore remains unusable. I wanted to know if someone has encountered the
same problem and possibly help me to solve it or to virtualize windows is
better to use Virtualbox?
I thank you all

Re: Clean Fedora partitions
by Chandana De Silva
What do you mean by 'clean'. Do you eant to remove unused/unwanted
files or remove a suspected virus ?
I am not sure that there is concept of 'cleaning' a partition.
You can use variations of the find command to locate and delete files
and / or directories.
for example:
find /path/to/directory -type f -atime +100 -exec rm -f {} \;
will locate and delete all files which were last accessed more than
100 days ago. Obiviously, this needs to be used with care so that you
don't delete something importatnt.
I am sure that others will give you more options.

Email Question - OT
by S. Bob
Hi All;
This is probably Off Topic, apologies...
I recently kicked googlemail to the curb in favor of a service that does
not read my emails (fastmail). We are very happy with fastmail. We are
using our own domain which I was also doing with google.
All of our clients can now email me at the same email address as before
and I get the emails via fastmail, however we have one client that I do
not receive the emails for. They can email me at other addresses but
not the 'migrated' address. I'm not sure how to even start debugging this...
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

f29 : net-install error - anyone successful?
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! It would seem that there is a bug in f29 net-install ..
The installer breaks with :
dnf.exceptions.TransactionCheckError: sssd-common < 2.0.0-5.f29
conflicts with sssd-nfs-idmap-2.0.0-5.f29.x86_64
Does anyone have an idea about it?
Thank you!

KDE Desktop Environment Doesn't Boot After Installer Puts Entry in
Desktop Manager in F29
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
In order to install the KDE Desktop I used DNF to install the
KDE-desktop-environment group, which place a plasma entry in the desktop
manager desktop list, but selecting this entry did not boot into KDE, it
just continued to display the Desktop Manager. It wasn't until I
manually installed, I think, the plasma-workspace-wayland that 'plasma
for wayland' was added to the desktop list in the display that did
enable KDE to be started. Given that it seems that F29 is standardizing
on Wayland instead of Xorg, why doesn't the KDE-desktop-environment
group also install this package to provide the needed Wayland support so
KDE can be started under Wayland, rather than require the user to
install it manually?
regards,
Steve
