Fedora: Question about Mate DT

0 votes
403 views

I am having problems with mate DT.

If I leave the machine idle for a minute or two, (even with several windows of TB and FF open),
I end up losing the DT altogether. All Desktop icons and panels disappear. Furthermore, even if I do not leave the machine idle (i.e. I am busy on the KB),
then if I decide to suspend to disk, and later on, turn on the machine and resume,
I have no DT, as if I had left the machine idle for a minute or two.
Is this caused by a setting? Which one?

Do the windows still function? Can you move them around? It sound like the window manager is crashing. Have you checked the journal for any information like that?

Fedora: KDE Appearance "Updates are Available"?

I have been using Fedora since 2002....and at NO POINT have I ever installed anything even remotely related to KDE.

Fast forward to today, I get the usual notifications that "Updates Are Available"...through the Gnome notifications atop the screen midship....and I proceed to authorize them and install them. Now...Im one of those uptight people who like to "watch" things as they get installed...and I started seeing things like:kf5-kbookmarkskf5-kdedkemoticons....and a slew of other "K" related things.

Is this something to be expected from future updates?....and how do I get rid of these?

Fedora: how to use a systemd service, without making it persistent ?

I want to start a systemd service (dhcpd) , but only if a link to the internet is present. I don't want the service to start on boot.

systemctl start doesn't work unless the service is enabled.

This works, but it's very kludgy:

if 
    * 
 systemctl enable 
 systemctl start 
 systemctl disable 
fi

Any better ideas ?
