Printing a pdf in booklet format
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

I cannot figure out how to get the equiv of Acrobat reader to print a pdf in booklet format. That is to print 2 pages per side, double-sided but in an order that you just staple along the middle and have a booklet. I am using F38 and Xfce. I have Okular, Atril, and Xfce's pdf viewer. Anyone experienced with this? thanks.

Problem with SD card
by Geoffrey Leach 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

I have a 1TB SanDisk XC SD card, which has developed a reluctance to create files. UUID=0fd984c4-cf88-408a-8ba5-15b64500bd5c /Media/SDXC ext4 noauto,rw,user 0 0 % sudo mount /Media/SDXC % touch /Media/SDXC/foo % ls /Media/SDXC/foo /Media/SDXC/foo % sudo umount /Media/SDXC % sudo mount /Media/SDXC % ls /Media/SDXC/foo /bin/ls: cannot access '/Media/SDXC/foo': No such file or directory I used root to mount, just to be sure. User mount has the same problem. gparted reported a problem with the superblock which was resolved by re-formatting and re-creating the partition table. The card has just one partition. Suggestions for further diagnosis would be appreciated.

no network access
by Bill Cunningham 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Sometime ago I wrote to this list about network connection problems. I reinstalled my fedora server and all was fine. Well I reinstall a windows system and had to fix grub2. So I booted F38 server and this is the error I got. Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'fedora': - Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-38&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'fedora': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-38&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] I did nothing to the system and all I tried to run was 'dnf distro-sync' for updates. Is this grub2 related? Since it had to be reinstalled from scratch? The system has always been there I just cleared and reinstalled a Windows on another partition and thusly had to reinstall a new grub2 bootloader. It boots fine. B

I try to install and use OpenBox on Fedora 38 but dnf doesn't install Obmenu, the Openbox themes are not shown in Onboard preference. I use dnf tool to install mistral but is not shown in the Onboard theme area. Any idea about this? Can this be an issue for the development and maintenance of the OpenBox environment package?

shrinking Windows C: drive to make room for Linux
by Michael Hennebry 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

I have an HP Elite with Windows 10. The result of searching suggests that one can shrink the C: drive, e.g. through disk management, even while running Windows. Is this correct? If not, would someone be kind enough to point to the preoper procedure? -- Michael hennebry(a)mail.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Occasionally irrational explanations are required" -- Luke Roman

Getting help for a kernel/video issue?
by Chris Adams 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

I have a system with an AMD RX 570, and the various kernel 6.4 releases I've tried all kill video output - it looks like the kernel DRM doesn't see the monitor at all. Even before it gets to X, if I take "rhdb quiet" off the boot line, I get kernel messages up until it tries to switch to the framebuffer mode, I lose video then. I filed a RHBZ bug against the kernel (since that's where I think the problem is): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2224594 But I haven't gotten any response; I understand kernel devs are busy, not complaining about them, but I was wondering if there might be a better place to go. I can test things, share more logs/info/etc., just need some direction. -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

Off topic -- but a slow list day
by bruce 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

Hi. Doing some research on email list providers?. Most seem to charge based on emails sent, as well as the size of the contact/email list. Does anyone have any experience dealing with any of these providers? And, if you do, does anyone have any pointers to "cheap" providers for unlimited contacts! thanks! feel free to hit me up off list.
