<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Anyone else having email problems? Last month, systemd on my Ubuntu 18.04 stopped resolving <a href="http://mail.comcast.net">mail.comcast.net</a>. No known changes on my part, not even an update, it just stopped working, but none of the other sites I visit had a problem. Seems some longstanding issues with DNS on systemd, oh well, not wanting to get too dirty under the hood (on an otherwise untouched system), I just took the suggestion to redirect /etc/resolv.conf to the /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf file instead of the .../stub-resolv.conf. (pointing the nameserver to my router instead of 127.0.0.53). That fixed things, until my gmail through Firefox stopped working (on my 18.04, FF phone and FF 16.04, & Chrome were still OK). Most unhelpful error message, "Sorry that didn't work try again". Cleaned caches, history, etc. No fix. Finally found a suggestion to turn off the blocking of trackers (was only using the default basic stuff anyway) -- That did it, Google insists now that my Firefox not block any trackers. I'll look around to see if there's any granularity on this, but I just saw a few checkboxes. Sigh.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Ken<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 7:30 PM Bobbie Sellers <<a href="mailto:bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com">bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi LuGers,<br>
<br>
The last meeting of 2018!<br>
<br>
SF-LUG meets every third Monday from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M.<br>
and every first Sunday from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M.<br>
at the Cafe Enchante, 26th and Geary Boulevard.<br>
<br>
These meetings are usually lightly attended with a high for the<br>
year so far of 7 members. If you have a problem come along<br>
and maybe we can help but if not we can usually find someone<br>
who can.<br>
<br>
Added to the distributions library:<br>
<br>
4MServer-27.0-64bit.iso<br>
<br>
4MLinux-27.0-32bit.iso<br>
<br>
Both used to fit in a CD Now a DVD is required for each.<br>
<br>
CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1810.iso and some other<br>
variations have been released.<br>
CentOS is using KDE Plasma 4.14.8,<br>
Linux kernel 2.1.0-957 ,<br>
LibreOffice version 5 is supplied but not<br>
LibreOffice Manager.<br>
Updates supplied by yum, a tool run in terminal<br>
It does use a late version of Dolphin for a file manager.<br>
Firefox is supplied which is how I found out about yum.<br>
CentOS is an Enterprise Distribution Linux compiled<br>
from the RedHat source code. If the users are not savvy<br>
they will need an IT to manage the system.<br>
One shortcoming is that the disk did not display the<br>
UEFI alternative on boot. I checked the disk and under /boot<br>
we do have an /EFI The best use is in business where<br>
people are concerned about staying away from the cutting<br>
edge.<br>
<br>
