I am constantly needing to set an IP on a server for some reason.  Most of the time the reason is to verify connectivity.  Here is the commands I use to add and remove the IP.

ip address add 192.168.122.22/24 dev enP1p1s0f0
ip address del 192.168.122.22/24 dev enP1p1s0f0

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind about these commands:

1. If you do note specify the prefix (/24 in this case) to the IP address the default is /32.
2. The interface is brought up automatically.  There is no need to run ifup
3. I believe ifup and ifdown assume there config files (/etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-* for RPM based systems).

I have been looking for a replacement for kompozer app that I have been running on Linux.
I came across SeaMonkey today and it has a "composer" function that has a great WYSIWYG
editor mimila to kompozer.

Here is where I found to download the tar files for Linux:

  https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.48b1
  
Looks like Fedora 25 has a seamonkey package but it is a bit older that the latest.

I finally had a pressing need to create my own custom launcher in Gnome.  I did not know how to do this but I found numerous examples
on the Internet.  Here is a brief description of how I added a launcher for seamonkey edito.  The file below is in /home/kurtis/Desktop.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Seamonkey Composer
GenericName=SeamonkeyComposer
Exec=/home/kurtis/bin/seamonkey/seamonkey -editor "/home/kurtis/dev/html/KWRNewTab.html"
# Icon=[icon file [optional]]
Type=Application

I needed to determine all the different versions of a package that came from repositories I had set up on a server.
I knew there was at least two versions of java-1.8.0-openjdk but I wanted to be sure.
I found the following command and it did the job perfectly:

[root@hwwn3 ~]# yum --showduplicates list java-1.8.0-openjdk | expand
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

I run Fedora 25 on many of my computers.  I inserted an SD card in my new Dell XPS 15 and tried to open the contents.
To my surprise, I got an error saying exFat is not supported.  Here is where I found reference to the fuse-exfat package
on Ubuntu.

I was not able  to mount the sd device using mount but the Disks app in GNOME was able to mount it correctly.
I will update this file if I find a reboot lets me use mount or fusermount command.

I purchased a maxed out Dell XPS 15 earliers this year.  Windows 10 worked flawlessly (they sure know how to do multi-architecture and HiDPI) but of course I just had to install Fedora 25.   I was using Fedora 25 for a few months and was aware of the Intel Kaby Lake CPU used.  I did not check out looking for a firmware update on the Dell support site until I re-installed my XPS 15 with Fedora 26.   

The problem I ran into immediately was I could only find the latest 1.3.3 firmware in an exe file that runs under Windows or in DOS mode.  I tried without any success to make a FreeDOS bootable USB with the exe file.  Unfortunately, the Dell web site was correct, FreeDOS does not recognize USB 3.0.

I did some Googling and finally found the following web site that has a cab file version of the raw binary firmware file.

I formatted my USB key with fat32 in Fedora.  I extracted the raw .bin file (I extracted all 4 files) and placed t

The following worked great for me.  I like iconSize=2 for my desktop.

There has been some discussion about the systray icon size. The following fixed it for me…

Edit the file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
After every line that commences extraItems= add another line iconSize=3

After a reboot the icons should have a much higher limit of size when adjusting the height of the panel.

I needed to get kvm and virt-manager installed on my Dell XPS 15.  I tried :

sudo dnf group list

There was no virtualation group listed as in the past.  Googling found the following helpful web site:

I should have used this command:

I tried installing shutter on Fedora 26.  Here is the message I kept getting:

  - nothing provides gnome-web-photo needed by shutter-0.93.1-4.fc26.noarch
  
After lots of Googling, I finally search for gnome-web-photo.rpm.  I downloaded it from this URL:

  https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/25/x86_64/g/gnome-web-photo-0.10.5-9.fc24.x86_64.html

My Dell XP2 (9560) has a 4K display.  I am using the display manager (dm) that came with KDE/Plasma which is SDDM.

The problem I had was the login screen had very small text and the resolution was full 4K (small everything).

I found the solution in the following ArchWiki:

  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#DPI_settings
  
All I did was edit /etc/sddm.conf and uncomment the [X11] setting and add the -dpi option and value:
