F25 nautilus problem: Double clicking on .tgz archives will extract
them immediatley into the same directory
by Joachim Backes
Hy all F25 users,
I'm running F25 with gnome/X11 desktop environment, and having problems
with nautilus: I have some directories where .tgz archives are located.
Suddenly, clicking on the .tgz files will no more open them and show
their contents, but the .tgz file will be immediately unpacked into the
same dir. How to restore the old behaviour which will only open the
archive and not unpack it?
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards
Joachim Backes

Redshift and Dropbox not quite working after F24-F25 upgrade
by Matthew Saltzman
I have two GNOME workstations upgraded from F24 to F25. Before the
upgrade, Dropbox and Redshift were accessible from the little slide-out
task bar at the lower left of the screen. Now, on one I see Dropbox but
not Redshift and on the other, I don't have the slide-out drawer at
all. According to GNOME Tweak-Tool, both apps are listed on the startup
panel.
So far, everything else seems to have gone smoothly.
How to debug? TIA.

F25 XFCE font rendering
by Heinz Diehl
Hi,
updated two machines from F24 to F25, and now the fonts configured in
Applications -> Settings -> Appearance are no longer on the same level
of sharpness/clarity as they were in previous Fedora releases.
It is considerably visible in Thunderbird and Firefox. While there was
no problem to get clear and sharp fonts using antialiasing and
hinting, it now seems to be impossible, at least in programs that
adapt their fonts from the above mentioned setting.
Does anybody know what's going on and what I can do to get back
pre-F25 behaviour?
Thanks,
Heinz

Fedora 24 -> 25 upgrade smooth and successful (but for one small
vpn openconnect issue)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have upgraded all my machines (3 laptops, 2 desktop warhorses) using fedup and all went smoothly. The only thing that does not work is openconnect with NetworkManager. I got the following when I looked into it.
Could not load editor VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect' (missing plugin file "/usr/lib64/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so")
Where do I get this plugin, and more importantly, why is it not pulled in with an upgrade/install?
As an aside, while very smooth, I think that the upgrade itself can do with a bit more installation before the reboot: perhaps some of the things that are applications can be installed after the other ones have upgraded and after the system has come up since upgrade during the boot process leaves the computer pretty unusable. Just a thought: I have no idea if it is possible to implement what I am suggesting (or something similar) but I want to stress again that this was a very smooth upgrade in general.
Thanks, Fedora developers!!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Nvidia drivers on F25
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Apparently Nvidia has yet to release F25 drivers for the GEforce 6
series among others. Is this correct?
I'm currently using Nouveau and it's fine so far but I haven't stressed
it much and would like to have the option.

No X/KDE after upgrade to F24
by Stephen Davies
I have just completed the upgrade from F23 to F24 and rebooted to the new version.
The system now boots to console mode and I have to login and type startx to
get to KDE.
F23 started X and KDE automagically.
I also seem to have lost some libraries. e.g. the 32-bit version of
libncurses.so.5
Several daemons failed to start at reboot. These include all those in rc.local
(yes. I do still have a few.) and openvpn.
Running rc.local manually works and starting openvpn manually with systemctl
also works.
What could cause these issues?
Cheers and thanks,
Stephen

Firewall methods for fedora25
by Alex
Hi,
I'm most familiar and comfortable with iptables, and use shorewall on
my firewalls. With fedora23, it appears the default has shifted to
firewalld. This has created a problem for me ever since, particularly
with trying to build a reasonable firewall on my mail servers, as well
as interacting with fail2ban.
We typically offer submission, simap/spop, smtp, http/https, ssh, and
domain services on our Internet servers. We also need snmp and nrpe
for monitoring.
Does anyone have a set of reasonable firewalld rules and understand
how it interacts with fail2ban that they could share? firewalld
doesn't even include all these services by default, so it's necessary
to do it one port at a time...
firewalld just doesn't seem to be appropriate for anything more than a
desktop. I'd appreciate any ideas on how you build a firewall for
fedora servers, particularly as it relates to interoperating with
fail2ban and standard Internet services.
Thanks,
Alex

Desktop icons on Fedora 25??
by Michael D. Setzer II
Saw that Fedora 25 was released, so did a fedup update on one of my
classroom machines to show students in my Saturday Linux course. Update
seemed to go thru with no issues, but did notice that there are no desktop
icons?? Checked the gnome-tweak-tools, and it is set to show them, and the
files are still in the desktop folder?? Anyone know why that would not show.
Even found a link to use dconf-editor, but its setting shows that the value for
the icons is true?

Firefox troubles & KDE Plasma Workspace Crash
by Jonathan Ryshpan
If I open too many tabs in Firefox, it becomes extremely slow, sometimes too
slow to be usable. If I terminate it when it's slow, very frequently KDE's
Plasma Workspace (shell) crashes; fortunately Plasma Workspace always restarts
quickly. The bug can't be reported by gnome-abrt, since the memory dump is too
large. Has anyone else seen this?
I would like to report this as a bug, but I'm not sure which bugzilla to report
it to.
