Hey.. Trying to figure out how to do a single line cmd (it should be possible right??) to do a tail -5 for a list of files??? I thought I could combine find with exec/xargs and tail to generate the list of files/tail data.. But couldn't figure out the syntax.. thoughts?? find /foo -name "*dog.dat ... tail -5 << obviously not correct. but what would work? thanks..

Fedora 26 & 27 are unable to boot with normal graphic mode on this PC with AMD/ATI RS740 [Radeon 2100] GPU

by Farhad Mohammadi Majd

Hello, I have an old PC from 2008 which has integrated graphics processors (IGP), I did install Fedora 26 few months ago and it had mentioned problem, I used "nomodeset" kernel parameter for boot during installation and local boot, but I didn't report the problem. Today I did install Fedora 27 (Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27-1.6) and same problem was exist, fortunately Fedora 27 is smarter and it added "nomodeset" kernel parameter to the GRUB configuration file for local boot, so there is no need to enter it manually to GRUB. <CODE> $ lspci | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS740 [Radeon 2100] <CODE> Please guide me step-by-step to solve this problem, thank you.

gedit and unsaved files

by Gordon Ewasiuk

Howdy List, I had a text document open in gedit when a power outage hit. This is a file that I hadn't saved or named yet so it was still an "Untitled Document 1" but was loaded with content. Does gedit autosave open files anywhere? I checked /tmp and /var/tmp but came up empty. I also grepped the filesystem but turned up nothing. (This isn't a complaint. It's my own fault for not saving the document. Shame on me!) -Gordon

my problem with brasero: brasero-3.12.2-2.fc27

by Joerg Lechner

Hi, try to burn a 1.2GB mp4 film onto a DVD or as iso to a foulder. Result only about 200MB a burned (readable) to the DVD and the source file of 1.2GB is cut also to about 200MB (same size as shown on DVD), the size of the burned 1.2GB film varied in 2 trials from about 80MB to about 200MB. To check wether it's my system or not, I made a new installation of F27, same error. F26 does not show this error ( brasero-3.12.1-5.fc26 ) - brasero-3.12.2-2.fc27 - Name : kernel Version : 4.15.4 Release : 300.fc27 Arch : x86_64 First Time I see this in Brasero Kind regards

Firefox and Privacy Notice

by Alessio Ciregia

Hello. I don't know if it has already been discussed, but in Firefox, in about:preferences#privacy, "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" are enabled by default. Ok, I trust Mozilla, but these should be opt-in features, IMO. I don't want to start a flame, but I ask if someone could kindly point me where, in Fedora, this question has already been discussed. Thanks, A.

how to prevent google-chrome from starting full screen in gnome3?

by Amadeus WM

No sure if this is a gnome3 problem or a chrome problem, but it's very annoying. It was not happening in F26 running Mate. The only somewhat useful answer I've found on google was this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/O2riRmf3BCE which says I have to switch from metro to chrome. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks!

setting screen resolution at boot

by JD

Hi all, on fc27: how do I set the screen resolution to less than 1920X1080 ? I would like to reduce it to something like 1280X1080 Is that "doable"? (Pardon my use of doable :) :) I would like the DT (Mate) to respect that resolution and show everything on desktop as if that is the HW resolution. Thanx!!

cssh as non root - No protocol specified

by bruce

Hi. Testing the cssh process. I configured the /etc/clusters file to have -testcluser foo(a)1.2.3.4 As user 'foo' I run -- cssh testuser Process returns: Connection to server failed -- (version 11.0) No protocol specified at /usr/bin/cssh line 2152 As a test, logged in as root ran the same thing.. a term displayed. So, I've got something misconfigured on the local to run the gui process. In the /etc/ssh/ssh_config I tested with both ForwardX11 yes/no <<<< with no difference Looking through the 'net I se a number of possible issues, but as I currently work through them, no change. Thoughts/comments?? Thanks

Fedora Current Objectives page has no content really

by Basix

Hello! Recently I found a Current Objectives page (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/project/objectives.html) in fedoraproject.org docs. This page says it is a placeholder, and go to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives for real content. But when I go to the wiki page, It just redirects to fedoraproject.org docs. I think this page needs to be updated.
