by Tim Keller 29 May '20

29 May '20

The Pi4 people announced an 8GB version for $75! That's enough ram you could run a chrome tab or two! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

by Dennis Payne 19 May '20

19 May '20

I upgraded to Fedora 32 last night. I can create a hotspot like I did with Fedora 31 but connecting to it fails. I use: nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp3s0 ssid <name> password <password> Is there something else I need to do with Fedora 32? -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi

Manjaro - Caffeine Question
by hammerron 10 May '20

10 May '20

I'm looking a bit at Manjaro 20.0, with Gnome, and when I first ran, saw in the top right (system tray?) a coffee cup symbol. I believe that this means that the Caffeine-ng program might have been running. I have not seen the coffee cup symbol since. I tried to click on the Caffeine icon, and also the Caffeine Preferences icon, but seems like nothing happened. I tried searching the Manjaro forums and have not found a solution. Any thoughts? (Sent it to the WLUG, maybe Forrest or another Manjaro user will see it ) Ron

RDP into Win10 with Remmina
by Richard Klein 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

I'm getting tired of booting into Windows for work. I figured out how to connect to the VPN from Debian, but it would be very helpful to RDP into the workstation in my office. I know the URL for my workstation, the domain, the username, and the password, but I'm failing to get it to work. What should I try? Remmina says "Connecting to <server>..." for a minute, then fails with "Connection to RDP server <server> failed." -- Rich

by Joshua Stone 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hey everyone, Fedora 32 came out today and it looks very solid! Here's a post detailing many of the core improvements: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-32/ https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2020/04/28/fedora-workstation-swamp-draining… I'm quite happy to see so much work going into components that I use every day, including Gnome Shell, Toolbox, Wayland, and Pipewire. The Firefox improvements should be especially helpful for when we do our next Jitsi Meet call. -Josh

I am trying for figure out what, if anything, of FEDORA RED HAT LINUX is still available. I have downloaded a DVD that I plan to install on my DELL XPS desktop PC running WINDOWS 10. Will it find for me my old LINUX atmosphere? Ken Jones

April WLUG meeting to be online
by Tim Keller 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Hey Gang, I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. While Linux doesn't need virus protection, we do. Wash your hands you filthy animals. As the subject reads, we're going to be doing the WLUG meeting online. I've been active in the wlug-ma irc channel as have others. What do people think about Jitsi for doing a video meetup? Refreshments will not be provided and we won't be going out for dinner!! Stay home, stay safe and I hope we'll all get to see each other soon. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Lenovo shipping Linux pre-installed
by Joshua Stone 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Hey everyone, Apparently Lenovo is planning on shipping Fedora on their Thinkpad lines, and will use only packages from the official repos instead of custom packages. I think this is great news as somebody who shopped for Thinkpads before and had to contact support about refunding a Windows license (turns out that wasn't possible at the time). Having a distro pre-installed should mean improved hardware compatibility, and maybe even be able contact support for Linux-specific issues.

audit root/sudo users for RHEL 6 server
by John Malloy 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

What is the best way to provide proof to an audit person who needs to know all the root/sudo users for a RHEL 6 server? (I am new at this company, and don't have access to all their resources) We can provide the /etc/passwd & /etc/sudoers file (the auditor may not know how to read these files) We also have the RedHat Identity Management running here, but I am not familiar with this tool. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! John Malloy jomalloy(a)gmail.com
