Feature request: line break eliminater
by Beartooth
Firefox has a feature that (I hope) might well be universal.
If I highlight a URL which my mailer (Alpine) breaks into several
lines and then paste it in, Ffx takes care of the nonce line breaks,
going right to the site. But if I copy that URL (sometimes, as with
changing an xfinity password, many seeming lines long) into any other
browser, *I* have to eliminate all the line breaks (and sometimes, not
always, introduced extraneous characters such as % a/o angle brackets).
Might not this virtue be grafted into Fedora's versions of other
browsers, or into Fedora itself?

video display problem -
by Bob Goodwin
Until recently VLC would display .3gp video clips from an iPhone full
screen on this 24" monitor. Now they are very small, perhaps less than a
two inch square.
This is the rpmfusion vlc on Fedora 27.
I suspect Apple has changed something. Am I the only one seeing this
problem? Is there a fix for it?

[F28] Unable to use ACM LaTeX class with pdflatex
by Marco Guazzone
Hello,
I'm using the latest ACM LaTeX class (version 1.53):
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/
consolidated-tex-template/acmart-master.zip
I've installed the required packages.
With Fedora 27, no problem.
Instead, with Fedora 28, when I run the following command:
$ pdflatex sample-sigconf
I get the following error:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+540/600 --dpi 540
txsys
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for txsys.
mktexpk: perhaps txsys is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
)
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file txsys): Font txsys at 540 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
As an alternative, I can use latex+dvipdfmx commands to first generate a
DVI and then convert it to a PDF. However, the resulting PDF looks
different from the one contained in the acmart-master.zip file.
I've just submitted a bug on Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595278
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.

It seems latest updates have solved my problems, both if network cable is
connected and without it.
My network card on laptop is this one from "lspci -v":
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet
(rev c0)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1851

It seems combination of latest kernel (4.16.6-202.fc27.x86_64) and latest
packages I have again my old behavior.
With network cable connected to an automatic dhcp connection:
[g.cecchi@ope46 ~]$ sudo systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 1.386s (kernel) + 1.328s (initrd) + 8.891s (userspace)
= 11.606s

[g.cecchi@ope46 ~]$ sudo systemd-analyze blame

1.019s abrtd.service
819ms lvm2-monitor.service
716ms systemd-udev-settle.service
712ms libvirtd.service
. . .
Without network cable connected (and without wirelsss autoconnect)
[g.cecchi@ope46 ~]$ sudo systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 1.389s (kernel) + 2.002s (initrd) + 8.702s (userspace)

cpupower
by JD
Manpage of cpu power make no mention of the
selection of governor.
How can set the governor to be the user mode governor
instead of the performance governor and not the ondemand governor?
If I can permanently set that governor, next I want to
set the cpu frequency (for all cores) to 2134000Hz permanently.
Reason I am posting this is because the normal speed of the cores
is 2.8GHz, and that is causing numerous kerneloops interrupts (overheating).
Fans are at full speed all the time, as I can hear them :) :)
When I set the speed manually (as root) like this:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do
echo 2134000 > cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
done
then kerneloops are greatly reduced.
Every kerneloops is accompanied by mce:
So, it has to be the heat.
But I do not want to do this loop every time I boot up.
I want to have set once and for all!!!
Thanx!!!
