how to install zoom client.
by home user
Good morning,
(f-29)
(background)
Last week, I was to participate in a "Zoom" meeting for a charity that
I'm involved in. I have the needed software on my rarely-used windows-7
box. But I could not complete the windows-7 login (some problem with a
windows-7 service). I've since found there is a "Zoom" client for
Fedora. "dnfdragora" does not find anything for it. But I found a web
page that I hope has what I need. I've downloaded the package
("zoom_x86_64.rpm"), and I've downloaded a "Public Key"
("package-signing-key.pub"). The web site from which I've downloaded
these also has a line:
Key fingerprint: [some 40 hex digit number]
(4 questions)
1. Do the 2 files need to be in a specific place to do the install? If
yes, where?
2. Do I need to be "root" to do the install?
3. What do I do with the "Key fingerprint"?
4. How do I do the install (preferably using "dnf")?
thanks,
Bill.

VideoConference Package?
by John Mellor
In this extended period of Covid-19 isolation, is there a
videoconference package available?
Hosted systems like Zoom are not opensource, do not use a browser as a
client, feed connection data to Facebook, only allow 2 participants for
free, and not available for a local install.
I thought of Webex, but its Cisco. Maybe its just me :-)
I took a quick look at Jitsi, but users say it has a fatal extreme
processor utilization bug, the rpm packages are 3 years out-of-date, and
does not seem to be present in the normal rpm repos.
I also took a quick look at BigBlueButtion, which looks pretty good.
However, it only runs on an ancient version of Ubuntu, and uses a shell
installer for some unknown reason.
This seems like a major application type that appears to be completely
missing from the repos. Is anyone building one, and just hasn't
announced it yet?

Is an encrypted Fedora Live CD possible?
by Earl Terwilliger
Hi,
I've managed to use the kickstart files to create a Fedora 31 KDE live CD
without any problems.
Actually I have a simple python script which conglomerates all the KS
files together to make it easier to deal with. Then I customize it and
have it copy some files into the /var/www/html directory.
I am now trying to see what is necessary to have it encrypted (with Luks)
so it prompts for the password at boot time.
part /boot --size=512 --fstype=ext4
part / --encrypted --cipher=aes-xts-plain64 --size=8200 --fstype=ext4
Those commands don't seem to make it encrypted.. Is encryption ignored for
the livecd? Am I not doing something correctly, or is this not possible?
Thanks,
Earl

System becomes unusable when copying a large file via USB into HDD
by Sreyan Chakravarty
I have just installed the latest version of Fedora Gnome on my HP laptop. I
had to import a 50 GB OVA file from my USB HDD to my hard drive via USB 3.0.
When the copying was taking place through VirtualBox, the system hung
almost completely, I was not able to even move my mouse.
Why does this happen ?
Reading this:
https://askubuntu.com/q/397249/628460
It seems to be the case for Debian based OSes, but then why is it happening
in Fedora ?
I just formatted from Windows 10, and while I hate a lot of things about
it, it never made the system unusable during heavy I/O operations. I had
multiple tabs in Chrome open without any lag whatsoever.
I say this, not to criticize Fedora but to point out this should be the
case in modern OSes. So why am I facing this issue?
Let me know what you think and if any further information is needed.
Thanks.

What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth
Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to
stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora-
native ebook reader!

RE: VideoConference Package?
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl
Jitsi’s VOIP/XMPP-client RPM are outdated, but their src is kept up-to-date ( jitsi-src-2.11.5633.zip 2020-03-26 21:49 58M )
Most of their time is now given to their video-meeting application ( jitsi-meet_1.0.4353-1_all.deb 2020-03-31 17:18 2.8K)
Alas, they are UB@#$%^&-addicts, but perhaps a decent guru can make ends-meet

I've never used Ekiga as my video conferences have all had macOS or Windows
participants.
Hosted systems like Zoom are not opensource, do not use a browser as a
client, feed connection data to Facebook, only allow 2 participants for
free, and not available for a local install.
Zoom says they have fixed the Facebook data leak.<https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z3b745/zoom-removes-code-that-sends-da...>

Anyone successful build a homebrewed kernel on F32
by sixpack13
Hallo
I'm unable to build an home-brewed kernel 5.6-rc7 on F32.
I copied the config-5.6.0-0.rc7.git0.2.fc32.x86_64 to .config.
But the kernel is crashing with "stackprotector"-${something} just at
the beginning of the boot process.
I also see a lot of warning during build, but no errors.
I also tried Kernel 5.5.13 without success and same above crash.
thinking something was missing I also tried with:
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" and
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
Idea's ?

GRUB2 removing args "quiet" "rhgb" - grubby doesn't work
by Philip Rhoades
People,
In the olden days I used to just edit the grub conf file and delete
these args manually - now I am supposed to use grubby but doing this:
grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args="quiet"
grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args="rhgb"
does not make any difference to the boot information I see before the
graphical login . .
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Phil.
