QCad
by ppadilcdx
I'm tracking Fedora 39, the latest build/update have QCad crashing
consistently after opening it and adding anything to the empty drawing.
New to Fedora so not sure if this is reportable (as I'm tracking ahead
to the next release). Not sure if this is the correct mail list to send
this to, so apologies. Any pointers welcome.
Regards

Apache fails to resume after hibernation
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I've noticed recently that Apache often (or perhaps always) doesn't
respond after a system hibernate/resume cycle. After restarting it
('apachectl restart') all is well.
I could script an automatic restart after resuming, but I wondered if
this is a well-known problem with a simpler solution.

F38 install issues
by Matt Morgan
Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament to
how well Fedora works these days.
I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install F38
on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It booted
fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive.
I took about half of the 1TB SSD for Fedora, and told it to continue. Then
I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the computer had booted to the
USB drive again (it appeared). I removed the USB drive and rebooted again.
The system booted to Windows with no indication of a grub boot menu. The
drive was missing the space I'd reclaimed, so clearly that worked, at least
partly. But nothing I do seems to get it to boot linux or drop me at a grub
menu.
When I boot off the usb drive, it works, but I don't see any linux-related
files on the SSD. So basically it looks like the drive got partitioned, at
least partly, and the install didn't run. So I'm trying to run the install
again, but no combination of clicks is getting me what I want.
1) For "Installation Destination," I see "Error checking storage
configuration." I click on that, and it has the one device for me to
install to. At the bottom, it says "Error checking storage configuration."
When I "click for details," I get
---
The following erros were encountered when checking your storage
configuration. You can modify your storage layout or quit the installer.
Failed to find a suitable stage 1 device: EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type None.;
EFI System Partition cannot be of type ntfs.; EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ext4.;
EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System
Partition cannot be of type btrfs,; EFI System Partition must e mounted on
one of /boot/efi.
----
If I then go into "BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING" I do see a Btrfs volume,
labeled "fedora_locahost-live," of 460GB. It has "home" and "root"
subvolumes. It has no mountpoints for / and /home, but I can add them.
Still, I guess it wants me to tell it where to put /boot? What do I do?
For reference, when I look at the drive in BLIVET I see
device type format size label mountpoint
nvme0n1p1 partition efi 100MiB
nvme0n1p2 partition 16MiB
nvme0n1p3 partition ntfs 491.34GiB
nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live
nvme0n1p4 partition ntfs 662MiB
So the overall picture I'm getting is that the first install didn't finish
partitioning the drive (since I don't see anywhere for /boot) and didn't do
any of the install. But a) I'm not really confident in that assessment b) I
don't know what to do next, in any case. Is it nvwe0n1p2 where /boot was
meant to go?
Thanks,
Matt

TIP: Not Another PDF Scanner
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 38
I just discovered the NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner)
is now available as an RPM. (It saves images too.)
https://www.naps2.com/download
Here is a screen shot on NAPS2 running on my computer:
https://imgur.com/G8NaxFc.png
As many of you already know, I do a lot of work on
Windows as I can not find much Linux work. I prefer
Linux work as I am not constantly troubleshoot
quality/system issues. I constantly install NAPS2
on my Windows customers.
NAPS2 makes for a full featured, easy to use scanner
utility. And my low and zero computer skill customers
are able to use it without issue (I do have to set up
their scanners for them though.)
I especially love the ability to eMail directly from
Thunderbird in NAPS2.
And with "all in one" printer now being fall apart in your
hands, the user does not have to learn a new way to
use the new printer to scan. (Some of the scanner
utility that come with the printers, all I can say
is "what where they thinking?")
I now have NAPS install on my fedora 38) computer. It
is sweet.
I am a YUGE fan of both Simple Scan and NAPS2. I
now have two scanner utilities that I adore.
CUSS (Common Unix Scanning System A.K.A "SANE"),
not so much and have removed CUSS from my system.
CUSS comes under "What were they thinking?" as well.
