firewalld messed up after updating to F32
by Sam Varshavchik
The first thing that I noticed after updating my router to F32 is that
masquerading didn't seem to work. telnet to some public port 80 appears to
be blocked, traceroute dies, etc…
When I ran firewall-config, the masquerading checkbox was off, so I enabled
it, but it made no difference.
Poking around suggested that something more fundamental is broken, somewhere.
firewall-config itself seems to be showing my two interfaces:
wan0 (eno2)
Zone: FedoraServer
lan0 (eno1)
Zone: FedoraServer
This is correct, my ports, both in the zone. But firewall-cmd on the command
line comes back with this:
[root@shorty ~]# firewall-cmd --list-interfaces
[root@shorty ~]# firewall-cmd --get-active-zone
[root@shorty ~]#
Something seems to be broken in firewalld-land, but I don't know where to
start looking.

Fedora 32: Monitors not sleeping?
by Richard Shaw
After upgrading to Fedora 32 my monitors no longer turn off after timeout
or locking the display.
Interestingly, they do for a few seconds after I lock the screen but then
turn back on. The display is blank/black but the backlighting is
definitely on.
AMD RX580 and a LG & Acer 1080p IPS monitors.
Thanks,
Richard

CUPS print test page -
by Bob Goodwin
I had a printer problem an hour ago and in the course of straightening
things out I found that I could not print a CUPS test page. Is that a
new situation for Fedora 32? I also tried the Print Settings in the
Administration section. As I remember there was a Maintenance menu in
CUPS that had two test options, I see no Maintenance in CUPS now. I may
have something wrong in my setup but can't imagine what? I set up both
printers with the Brother Linux printer tool as I have been doing for a
few years and until tonight I had no need to use CUPS, there has been no
problem printing and it did print a test page with one I found by
googling for it.
What's wrong, is it just me? I've seen no other complaints bout this. Bob

Slightly OT: has Firefox scrolling behaviour changed?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Until recently, Firefox had a feature I really liked and used a lot: if
you clicked anywhere in a scroll bar other than on the slider, it would
jump instantly to the top or bottom of the page. This seems to have
gone, and clicking just scrolls the way it does in most browsers. Does
anyone know if there's a setting to control this?

dnf upgrade vs dnf system-upgrade?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I recently (last night) upgraded the oldest of my machines.
Because I was doing this from memory, I decided to do trial-and-error (not a good idea, I know, but it was late and I was lazy).
So, I did:
sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31
and everything went through fine, including installation on the commandline. There was no interruption because it came up immediately in F31 (was previously F30). This morning, I went back and looked at the notes at https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/ and realized that I should have used
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32
and
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
so that is what I did to move the system to F32. This took a long time in coming up, during which the machine was unusable.
So, my question: which of the two approaches is "better"? The latter is swankier while coming up, but is the one with the Windows-type message (Upgrading system -- please do not turn off your computer, or something similar) but if there is no difference, I prefer the first.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

firwwalld config breaks on update to f31
by Barry Scott
I have a working firstwalld with wireguard config working on f30
but after the update to f31 some of my config is not being applied.
I have the following:
$ more /etc/firewalld/direct.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<direct>
<rule ipv="ipv4" table="filter" chain="FORWARD" priority="0">-i wg0 -o internal -j ACCEPT</rule>
<rule ipv="ipv4" table="filter" chain="FORWARD" priority="0">-i wg0 -o internal -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -
j ACCEPT</rule>
</direct>
This is important as it allows routing from interface wg0 to interface internal.
What is the F31 version of the above?
I tried punting the issue by switching firewalld back to iptables but that did not seen to fix it.

Captcha's are out of control
by S.Bob
Recently practically every website I visit makes me fill out a captcha,
and to make it worse they all seem busted, I click all the trains and
get a "try again", click all the buses "try again" usually I get into
the site after 4 or 5 attempts if I havent already given up...
Anyone else seeing this, or am I just "that guy"?
Anything I can do about it? Is it related to Linux / Firefox? I'm
running Fedora 31 and Firefox 76.0.1
Thanks in advance

Computer will not boot from harddrive
by jon.ingason＠telia.com
I have computer which I build for 13 years ago. I have just replaced the battery on the motherboard and could restart
the computer and everything worked OK. The I needed to restart the the computer again and it did not boot from
the hard drive. I could start it from SystemRescueCD and the file systems where OK, fsck on them all where OK.
From that I conclude that it must be the boot partition that is corrupted.
How can I fix the boot partition?

LibreOffice author information
by Robert Moskowitz
I am editing a doc from others and can't find where to enable my name
for my edits and comments. It is coming up Unknown Author.
I looked in Tools > Options but they only have address info there, not
author.
Appreciate help. This should be obvious, but it seems I am being oblivious?
