video in Firefox not streaming
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

hello, I am sorry to ask this here but am wondering why the last couple of times I have installed Fedora 32 workstation, video playback in Firefox is not working out of the box for some sites. So I can play videos on youtube, but for example, trying to play a video in cnn.com ("something went wrong during native playback") does not work, or playing some video from Twitter("media could not be played") does not work either. Am I missing the Flash Player? What am I missing here? thank you,

NFS4: CentOS 7 client with a Fedora 32 server
by Braden McDaniel 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

I'd like to support a CentOS 7 client from a Fedora 32 NFS4 server. Other Fedora 32 clients can mount the volume just fine using: $ mount -t nfs4 my-server:/my-export-root/foo /foo But when I try this from a CentOS 7 client, I get: mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted Is there any bit of configuration I can do on the client and/or server to make this work, short of allowing fallback to pre-4 NFS versions? -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com>

Where are the microcode updates for Crosstalk in F32 ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi, Well guys, its time to panic once again. I just found out my system is vulnerable to the new Crosstalk vulnerability by running the popular Meltdown OVH script. More about the vulnerability over here: https://www.vusec.net/projects/crosstalk/ These exploits get worse each time, this one affects all cores. This is how I tested for the vulnerability. Downloaded spectre-meltdown-checker.sh via : wget https://meltdown.ovh -O spectre-meltdown-checker.sh and then just executed with sudo. This is the output I got: * SRBDS mitigation control is enabled and active: NO > STATUS: VULNERABLE (Your CPU microcode may need to be updated to mitigate the vulnerability) CVE-2020-0543:KO Full output here: https://pastebin.com/raw/hyfFBbaF As you can see the tool specifies that my microcode is not the latest. That being said, where do I find the latest microcode from ? My OS is fully updated, and the firmware and microcode is also latest according to DNF: $ sudo dnf update linux-firmware Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! $ sudo dnf update microcode_ctl Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! So where is the microcode update in Fedora for this ?? Canonical has already published microcode updates for this, as shown here: https://youtu.be/UR-5vAZ1cGg?t=1160 <rant> It kind of seems frustrating that a bleeding edge distro like Fedora still hasn't provided updates yet. While Ubuntu a distro that doesn't always use the latest software already has a fix. </rant> What can I do now ? What is progress for Fedora ? Will the microcode from Canonical work for Fedora ? Dumb question I know but I am desperate. Let me know if any further info is required. Some more info about my CPU: https://pastebin.com/raw/TNJS930F What is everyone else in the community doing about this ? Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan

gnome control center wifi madness
by Tom Horsley 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

If I bring up the gnome control center wifi page, it always says "no adapter detected". If I turn on wifi, it shows me a list of SSIDs to connect to, and I can connect. If there is no adapter detected, what am I talking to? :-).

Steam erroneously marked as "Installed" in Gnome Software
by Sreyan Chakravarty 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

Hi, I have NEVER installed Steam via Gnome Software on my notebook, in fact I never installed it ever, but on Gnome Software it is marked as "Installed". Any way I can remove it from there ? That is mark it as "not installed" ? When I click on "Remove" it says "no packages to remove" but it has "Launch" and "Remove" options enabled. "Launch", does nothing. Are there any command-line/debugging/troubleshooting options that I should know about for Gnome Software Centre ? Seems like I haven't seen the last of such annoying bugs. Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan

DNF, Rpmfusion -

I guess this means rpmfusion is running behind, or does it imply something else? I update first thing each morning and such an explanation seems unusual: [root@WS1 bobg]# dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:18 ago on Sun Jul 26 06:05:27 2020. Dependencies resolved.
