Restarting pipewire

by Patrick O'Callaghan

After a recent update, tracer said I should restart pipewire: $ sudo tracer -a You should restart: * These applications manually: pipewire pipewire-pulse Logging out and in had no effect, nor does there appear to be a systemd unit installed: $ systemctl |grep pipewire $ Although there are unit files in the RPM: $ rpm -ql pipewire|grep service /usr/lib/systemd/user/filter-chain.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/filter-chain.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service The man pages for pipewire, pipewire.conf, pw-cli and pw-mon are not helpful. Any ideas? poc

Question on bad links?

by Michael D. Setzer II

I've run this little script from time to time in / find . -xtype l >/badlinks 2>ERR grep -v '/proc\|/run' </badlinks >/badlinks-clean At present ends up with other 300 lines in the badlinks-clean Cleaned up a number of bad lines in a jre directory that seemed to be left over stuff from fc27 to fc33? Nothing from fc34?? and the reset were the currect fc35 files I have on system. Seems things that just got left?? Not sure if it is coming to have these on a system? Wonder if someone with a lot more knowledge than I have might know best option. Just leave them, remove some, remove all? Figured the ones in /proc and /run should be left alone??

firmware: linux-firmware depends on intel-gpu and nvidia-gpu

by Adrian Sevcenco

Hi! Does anyone know why linux-firmware depends on intel-gpu and nvidia-gpu? and if this can be bypassed? I have an amd only desktop and is kind of annoying that i need also intel and nvidia firmware.. I imagine that the reason is to allow the os to run on whatever hardware is present or changed, but is there a way to allow user to customize somehow the presence of unneeded firmware? Thanks a lot!

Noto fonts - ugly and unreadable for everyone or just me?

by Richard W.M. Jones

So I upgraded from Fedora 35-ish to 37 recently, and the most obvious thing is the change to Google Noto fonts (https://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultToNotoFonts) Wow oh wow, are these fonts ugly and unreadable for everyone or is it just a peculiarity of my system or of the upgrade process? I have mostly been able to switch applications back to DejaVu fonts, but I still can't work out how to get XFCE and Firefox to restore readable fonts for the window decorations, menus and URL bar.

FYI: Microsoft broke secureboot in qemu-based VMs

by Sam Varshavchik

It is possible to run qemu VMs that emulate EFI and secureboot well enough for Windows to boot. This is still true, technically. Windows will boot. But it will not update reliably anymore. Microsoft broke it, ostensibly for "security reasons". Microsoft released a Windows update that will not install on qemu EFI VMs: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-kb5012170-secure-b... dbx-update-may-fail-with-0x800f0922-error/ I was scratching my head, trying to figure out why this update won't install. A search on the cryptic error code brought up some random crap that wasted a ton of my time, doing things like resizing my system partition, almost bricking my VM (typical MS-Windows noise). Only after I got the bright idea of searching for both the error code and the update code itself did I find this article, and digging further found this: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/3221 There's still a lot of things I don't understand. What is being blacklisted, exactly, here. The OVMF RPM – to the best of my understanding – is emulated hardware. How does running some PowerShell voodoo end up updating (emulated) hardware? And if it's not a magical hardware update, yammers about an update to the bootloader on the EFI system partition. Except that (at least in my case), the bootloader should be Microsoft's own bootloader, since I used Micorosoft's own tools to convert my BIOS Windows VM to an EFI one (mbr2gpt, that's how I was able to get a working EFI Windows VM). But the bottom line: this is now broken. Just an FYI…
