ConfigDate -
by Bob Goodwin
.
I installed "ConfigDate" add-on in Thunderbird but can not find the
configuration menu? Primarily I want to set it to provide the senders
time and offset. Not critical but I always use that option and find of
interest. The only options see are disable and remove ...
How can I do that? This is a new installation of Fedora 32.

SQL Database Client GUI for Firebird?
by linux guy
Hi people.
I have a huge CSV spreadsheet. I need to do a bunch of light duty data
manipulation. Sort, total, export, that sort of thing. I could almost do
it in the spreadsheet, but it would be too much copy/paste and the
combinations of data I want to get out are exhaustive.
I'm thinking of importing it into Firebird. I'm looking for a good GUI
SQL client.
Thoughts/ advice ?
TOar ?
DBEaver ?
Something else ? (Python?)
Thanks

Question on difference between dnf upgrade versus clean install?
by Michael D. Setzer II
I've got 5 Fedora machines at my house. Recently
upgraded a couple since FC30 was becoming EOL.
Some I did a clean install. New Hard disk, and install
from iso. Usually, that takes about 1/2 hour for whole
process. Including install of OS, and then install of a
number of other packages I use that are not installed by
default.
Did update on my notebook machine as well using dnf
system update. This system has some more packages
installed. Showed 5070 versus about 2000+ for the
clean install. Download process took about 30 minutes,
but then the reboot and upgrade process took just over
14 hours. Total was 14 hours 50 minutes.
Not clear why it would take 15 times as long? Checked
while running, and dnf was running at 100%, but just
using 1 cpu. Notebook has dual cpus. Don't know if
others just run it, and check when done, but seems to
be a bigger difference in time than it should be.
Thanks and be Safe..

Workspaces lost -
by Bob Goodwin
I removed a mysterious blank area on the panel and all my workspaces
went with it. I have not been able to restore them with the Panel
Preferences GUI. Changes there are ignored.
Apparently it needs the workspaces restored first and I have no idea how
to do that.
This updated Fedora 32 using xfce, any siggestions welcome, Bob

Fedora 32: Anyone have success building akmod-xtables-addons ?
by Bill Shirley
For years I've installed akmod-xtables-addons with no problems. Not so with Fedora 32.
It has a build error (excerpt):

USB rtl8192eu not connecting.
by Michael D. Setzer II
I've tried two usb rtl8192eu devices I've used in the
past, but now I can not get either to connect with
Fedora 30 or Fedora 31?
The devices load, and will even see the wifi, but the
connection fails.

[107116.406750] wlp0s20u2: authentication with
d8:b6:b7:ef:20:40 timed out
Have tried with a notebook with built-in wifi, and it can
connect to either wifi no problem. So, know password
and all are correct. Tried on desktop system without
built-in wifi, and it get the same error.
Is there something that might cause the failure, or is
there a way to see more detail on the error. Just says
connection failed.
Thanks.

Raid array empty after restart

Still getting the hang of md. I had it working for several days (2
disks in RAID1 config) but after a system update and reboot, it
suddenly shows no data:

How is this possible? The only thing that touches the array is a borg
backup run from crontab, which I have verified is working correctly,
including just before the update and reboot this morning. It looks as
if the mount is mounting the wrong thing.
Or am I missing something very obvious?
