Fedora 31 and VNC - problems
by mario futire
I am trying to set up a vnc server on Fedora 31 (GDM, GNOME-Wayland).
I've tried 2 separate routes
1) XDCMP: via xvnc.socket (as documented here /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service)
Super simple, just run
systemctl enable xvnc.socket
Then from either the same machine or a RPI I connect the vncviewer to xxx:5900, I get the GDM login screen with the users, but nothing else)
When typing the password. only the first dot is displayed and after pressing enter I get the "Oops, something bad happened, log out"
2) vncserver: doc here /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
It is not clear what the display number should be, I tried a few.
After doing
systemctl enable vncserver@:XYZ.service
I get on the F31 machine the "Oops,... log out" (not sure it refers to what),
then I still try to connect via vncviewer localhost:XYZ, get asked for a password (which I set earlier via vncpasswd) and I get a black screen.
The password is accepted, I can tell if I type the wrong one. But I only get a back screen.
One the one hand everything seems so well designed, but on the other nothing actually works.

Omron data -
by Bob Goodwin
I have an Omron BP786N for checking blood pressure. It will connect to
the iPhone via Bluetooth but it would be more convenient if I can
connect it directly to my Fedora 31 desktop workstation.
Is there an application for doing that?

App to monitor journalctl
by Javier Perez
Hi
Is there any application to monitor the system log file?
This is a home system
I usually open a terminal, go into root and type "journalctl -f" and leave
it at that.
But 1. I do not want to have a a root session open always. 2.There have to
be a more efficient method, I think.
I am using Xfce
Thanks

F31 install fail AMD Zen2
by Neal Becker
I ordered a new workstation from a well-known linux vendor. The
workstations has:
2x AMD 7262 CPUs
Supermicro H11DSI-B MB
NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti
The vendor says the MB is updated to latest (so this is not
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Releases-Linux-Ze...)
and they have tried different memory and graphics cards. Unfortunately,
they did not say HOW it fails to install.
They claim to have tried different Fedora versions. I'm assuming they tried
F31 because I ordered with "latest Fedora version".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neal

smartcard - scdaemon and pcscd conflicting
by Winfried de Heiden
Hi all,
Using (Fedora 31) a yubikey for both storing GPg-keys and ans SSL-
certificate seems to create a conflict between pcscd and scdaemon.
Using gpg-agent is most usefull, it will avoid asking for the
key/Yubikey password all the time; however: it will start scdaemon and
both pcscd and scdaemon try to access the smartcard reader exclusively:
Depending on which is (re)started first:
Jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00033944
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00034140
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00033895
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00034205
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00032693
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00031293
winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive
Or when pcscd, gpg is not abaile to communicate with the card reader
resulting in:
gpg2 --card-status
gpg: selecting card failed: No such device
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No such device
Most topics "on the internet" mention to disable pcscd when using gpg
or
in $HOME/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf using "disable-ccid"
pcsc-driver /usr/lib64/libpcsclite.so.1
disable-ccid
The latter however just won't work; gpg will not be able to access the
smartcard.
FYI; is seems it is not an "exclusive" Yubikey problem. Besides
yubikey, I also use a gnuPG (OpenPGP) Smartcard. different card,
different card reader same problem...
Hence: any solution for pcscd an scdaemon to work together....?

Guake won't stay in autostart
by Tibor Attila Anca
Hi,
I'm using Fedora 31 Workstation with all updates. Since Fedora 30 I
experience that startup programs don't stay in autostart. I tried
several times to put Guake in there, but it won't stay in the list,
after reloading Gnome it disappears.
Is this Fedora-specific or more a problem of Gnome (in which case I will
post there)?
Thanks in advance
Tibor
