XFCE - Network connections
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
At one time using xfce you could access and adjust Network Connections
from the main menu:
Settings -> Network Connections
That functionality seems to have disappeared (or is it configurable so
that it can be unhidden?).
Also, when clicking on the Network App on the tool bar, it takes up to a
minute before some sort of a menu pops up.
Thoughts?

Iptables->Firewalld Upgrade: Really Necessary?
by Tim Evans
I've been running an CentOS 6.x firewall/NAT router, using iptables for
many years. My very simple iptables ruleset is based on the venerable
Oskar Andreasson tutorial
(https://www.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html).
I'm planning on upgrading that system to Fedora 30, and am wondering if
I really, really need to figure out how to port my iptables ruleset to
work with firewalld. Other than the need to be up to date (I am
originally from Kansas City), what're the advantages of firewalld?
Installing F30, adding iptables and my current ruleset, and disabling
firewalld looks very simple and quick. Why shouldn't I do it?
If necessary, I can post an anonymized copy of the iptables ruleset on
pastbin, but really looking for higher level advice.
Thanks.

KWorld ATSC 110 Tuner (PCIe) with Fedora 30 failing
by Al Farleigh
By chance does anyone else use a KWorld ATSC 110 pcie tv tuner card with
Fedora 30?
My card worked with 29 at some point in the near past, but now no longer
works with 30.
Using kaffeine as the player/recorder, I get one in twenty correct
startups, the rest blank screen. Same with cli dvb software.
Can anyone else confirm?
Thank You.

gnome frozen
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Since I upgraded to fc30, if I do not use the PC for a while
the screen turns to lock (no screensaver is used).
Is this time is long, I may not be able to log in.
The screen remains frozen after I provide the password.
The only way to get access to a graphics mode is to run
kill -9 -1
I though that it may be due to a mounted filesystem.
But it is not the case.
It may be due to Nextcloud, but I do not know how to unmount
by a command like.
However, I cannot really make a correlation.
How can I debug?
Thank

quick (I hope) e-mail security question.
by home user
I just received a message from
[sender](a)gmail.com
but the last line in the message is a bluish line saying
"Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android"
I do know someone named [sender] but the from address is not what I have
for that person, though the sender could have gotten a new e-mail
address very recently. Also, the from address being a Google e-mail
address seems to contradict the last line saying the message was sent
from Yahoo Mail. Is this message probably genuine or probably a spoof?
thanks,
Bill.

gfs file sharing
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I heard o a you tube video about a file sharing technique
called gfs. I may has misunderstood the letters as I
have trouble with high frequency hearing.
Is there other alternatives out there for cross platform
file sharing other than Samba? (I know about NFS.)
Many thanks,

Manually installed grub (no bls) doesn't update entries automatically
on kernel install or removal.
by Sergio Cipolla
I have a legacy BIOS. I didn't install grub through anaconda, instead I installed it manually (as per https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?313824 ) to a partition so as to be able to use the Windows boot loader. All went well.
I noticed grub was installed the traditional way (not the new bls) so I can just edit /etc/default/grub and run grub2-mkconfig for any modification I want.
The only issue, so to speak (because I don't know if it's a bug or a setting), is that on new kernel installations or kernel removals, I must manually run grub2-mkconfig to re-generate grub.cfg
The Fedora documentation (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Updating_GRUB_2_configuration_on_BI...), which describes the old behaviour, states that 'Grubby in Fedora patches the configuration when a kernel update is performed'. So maybe, with the new bls thing, the kernel scriptlets aren't using this any more.
Anybody knows anything about it? Can I set something so 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' is called again automatically on kernel install or removal?
