nedit
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
In fc26, nedit does not recognize the numeric pad.
Actually, only the "5", "+", "-", "*", "/", is recognize because it does not have
any function in non numeric setting.
I tried different french keyboards setting.

What is this DNF nonsense?
by Tom Horsley
Almost the very first thing I do on a new install is to
erase bash-completion, and it is indeed not installed:
tomh> rpm -q bash-completion
package bash-completion is not installed
So why did the dnf-automatic run I have in cron
tell me this last night:
Delta RPMs reduced 80.7 MB of updates to 38.6 MB (52.1% saved)
The following updates were downloaded on 'tomh':

[OT]: Question re: youtube-dl
by JD
Hi all youtube-dl users,
Can this program find and download a vid with a rather specific substring
in the URL of the vid?
A substring such as:
"0AmvYqE0amg" for example.
Thanx for the syntax of how to do this.

cockpit
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I followed the instructions of
https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/install-cockpit-fedora-centos-rhel-arch...
Then I can access locally to the service either by localhost:9090
or by using the ip address.
But I cannot do it from outside.
Indeed, I need to go through a ssh port
How can I do it ?
Thank

DNF odities
by Cristian Sava
Trying to update F26 systems:
[root@localhost ~]# dnf update
Waiting for process with pid 28949 to finish.
^CKeyboardInterrupt: Terminated.
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep dnf
root 7724 0.0 0.0 10824 884 pts/0 S+ 08:48 0:00 grep
--color=auto dnf
root 28949 0.0 0.5 391816 47264 ? SNs 01:00 0:00
/usr/libexec/system-python /usr/bin/dnf makecache timer
[root@localhost ~]# killall dnf
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep dnf
root 7734 0.0 0.0 10824 884 pts/0 S+ 08:49 0:00 grep
--color=auto dnf
[root@localhost ~]# dnf update
...
Complete!
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep dnf
root 8099 0.0 0.0 10824 980 pts/0 R+ 08:50 0:00 grep
--color=auto dnf
So the questions:
1) WHY DNF is active without asking?
2) WHY DNF does not ever stop and must be killed to update the system?
That is seen on many F26 boxes (new installs or upgrades).

which system-config-services for fc26?
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I did not find a system-config-services for fc26
The last version seems to be for fc24.
Hence, I recompile the fc25 version, but it does not run properly:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.88:/org/fedoraproject/Config/Services/ServiceHerders/XinetdServiceHerder: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[F25] getting an old kernel-header rpm
by Sherman Grunewagen
Can anyone tell me how to get kernel-headers-4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 ?
Why? Long story. Short version: my Intel 8265 wireless card is unstable with
kernel-4.11.9 and 4.11.10. With 4.11.8 it is not. But since I have 4.11.10 installed
on my system (with 8, and 9) the kernel-headers are also at 4.11.10.
Vmware workstation needs to build its modules under 4.11.8 which I'm now running.
But it can't w/o the matching kernel-headers!
Thus my question. Or is there a better way?

Connecting to an Active Directory VPN
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I've just installed F26 and everything works well except my VPN
connection. It used to work perfectly under F25 and I didn't think to
save its settings. I am not however stuck. I did a few (many?) searches
and found actually different results on how to set it up. The most
common results give the following suggestions:
in advanced setting enable MSCHAP & MSCHAPv2
also enable MPPE (no stateful encryption), BSD data compression, Deflate
data compression and use TCP header compression.
Then in the user name field I forgot if I entered domain\username or
just username and entered the domain in the NT Domain box.
Thinking it could have been a F26 issue I just burn a live install of
F25 and tried, same issue.
Checking the error log using journalctl -u NetworkManager.service I am
getting:
pppd[6534]: pppd 2.4.7 started by root, uid 0

I am wondering what I am missing as my former set up Just Worked(tm).
Could I forgot adding a special package? Any hint will be super welcome!
Thanks a lot.
