silly question, verify F29, how to download checksum file?
by Joerg Lechner
Hi,
when I click in the web page "How to verify...." on 64bit Workstation, I get the next web page showing the checksum file. My question is how to download this file to initiate the verify?
So far I installed Fedora always without verifying, or with the Mediawriter, which does the check.
Kind regards

xfce 4.13 panels have weird colors
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I just upgraded from Fedora 28 to 29 and Xfce 4.12 to 4.13.
The background colors of my panel one and panel two have some dark
background color, making them hard to read, especial the date and time.
Far right of panel 1 on the top
Far left of panel 2 on the bottom

How do I adjust this?
Many thanks,

GDM mouse position?
by Tom Horsley
The most trivial F29 thing I've spotted so far :-).
I boot the system, get to the GDM login screen, and the
mouse cursor is down near the lower right hand corner
of the screen.
It used to be in the center right where the login prompt
shows up.
Does it work this way for everyone, or is there something
unique happening on my system? (Just idle curiosity).

PSA - latest systemd updates F29
by Ed Greshko
Late in my day and I updated my system which included several systemd packages. After
updating came a plague of selinux alerts. It is too late in my day to determine which
package has caused the problem. So, this is just a bit of a warning.
I downgraded for the time being.

F29 and desktop image
by Jeffrey Ross
When I was running F28 (and earlier versions) I was able to right click
on an image in the browser (Firefox) and choose to make the image my
background/wallpaper. This option no longer shows up, in addition right
clicking on the desktop itself I do not have the option to set the
background, I have to go to the tweak tool and specifically choose a
graphic image to set as the background.
Is this the new expected behavior or did something change that now needs
to be reset?

Tip: flash player
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Had a customer with Fedora 28 that could not view videos on
the web wit Firefox. Turned out Flash player was missing.
So a quick rip to my notes and OUT OF DATE! So Google it is
and OUT-OF Date too! Folks need to date their articles!
Finally found a article that actually worked and was not
out of date:
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10...
And my notes are now updated.

You would think folks would have stopped using Flash by now
and moved to HTML5, especially with all the tables out
there but ...

f29 fonts shrunk?
by Tom Horsley
Everything in my newly installed fedora 29 partition has
smaller fonts, even though I'm using the same home directory
I had on fedora 28 and inheriting all my settings.
Has something somewhere decided my 4K monitor has a completely
different DPI and is scaling everything differently or something?
I can change the settings and get bigger fonts, I just have no
idea why the font settings from fedora 28 suddenly seem so much
smaller on fedora 29.

Desktop covers panel -
by Bob Goodwin
.
This is a new install of Fedora 29 originally installed as the beta
version. It seems to do much of what I need without problems except for
a vertical panel on the left edge being about half covered by the
desktop. I use XFCE and turned the initial setting of the row size up
from 48 to 70 however that makes no difference. The horizontal panels at
the top and bottom can be set and display as expected.
I've gone through the Settings GUI's without success bit really bot
knowing what to look for. Perhaps someone can suggest afix?

by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
FC28, x86
Xfce 4.12
I am trying to copy he new Xfce Live ISO (1.4 GB) over
to a Samsung usb 3.1 stick. It is taking FOREVER. And
this is typical.
Is your usb also slow by any chance?
