copy and paste from mouse when window full of icons?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) in my
Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem:
- I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names
- if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a
location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it seems
that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the paste option.
In these cases I temporarily switch to what should be "icon view" and in
this case I always have some blank space because of how items are displayed.
I select a blank space and then right-mouse --> paste
Then I come back to list view...
Is this a sort of bug or what?
Based on this link
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-copy.html.en
I should have "paste" option in menu, but it doesn't happen, see screenshot:

NOTE: keyboard shortcut ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, though
Thanks in advance.

How to request a new package.
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I was trying to install the InventorLoader addon for FreeCAD and it
requires three python modules to install.
xlrd, xlwt and xlutils
xlrd and xlwt are available through DNF, xlutils isn't.
I saw it mentioned in an old bug report but nothing more.
I would like to request that this package be added.

ccache on f30
by Paolo Galtieri
Folks,
I installed the ccache package on F30. Doing a rpm -ql on the
package show a long list of files that are part of the package, but if I do
ls -l /usr/lib64/ccache/
it shows
total 576
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 cc
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 gcc
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 x86_64-redhat-linux-gcc
where are all the other files, e.g. /usr/lib64/ccache/c++?

How to obtain a list of all the logged in users which are currently
logged in to my LDAP server?
by Pratik Rana
Hi ,
Today while working on one of my client i realized that it is possible to delete one self by the user who is logged in using
->ipa user-del 'user' command
I found out that it can be avoided by adding a function for protecting deletion of any logged in user in the user.py file under the claa user_del
However i could not find out any way to get the details of any or all the logged in user.
Can anyone tell me how to deal with this??

Re: Vagrant vbguest on Fedora 30
by Paul-Erik Törrönen
Hello, reported some time ago about an issue with Vagrant in F30 with
the topic above.
Didn't have the original email left (since no-one answered), so will
post an update.
The latest (2.2.5) version of Vagrant released by Hashicorp, which is
not yet available from Fedora, fixed the issue. I used the CentOS
package to update the installed one.
Just a FYI in case you run into similar issues.

F30 Thunderbird format question
by JD
Writing a new message always starts the format in "Pararaph" mode
instead of "Body Text"
And this leads to the messages being double spaced.
How can I change it so it will default to Body Text every time?
Thanx!

gnome max-out during sign-in in Firefox.
by home user
(f29; gnome; Firefox 68.0; all patched late this morning)
While trying to sign on to a financial institution's web site, when I
start to enter the password, the cpu suddenly gets extremely busy and
stays that way. I had to hit the power button. Upon booting up again,
I launched ksysguard, and then re-tried the login. Again I saw the cpu
essentially max out. I had to hit the power button. Upon booting up, I
launched "top" in a terminal, and then retried the login. Again the cpu
essentially maxed out. "top" showed that gnome was the cpu hog.
I again hit the power button and booted up. This time I logged in to a
plasma session. I was able to log in and do what I had to do with no
problems.
This one is really strange. How do I determine what the problem is?
This problem did not occur before today's "dnf upgrade". The last
patching before today was last Thursday.
thanks,
Bill.
