Kernel Headers problem trying to run Virtual Box
by Mark Roberts 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

Hi all, I have a Fedora 32 laptop with kernel : 5.6.19-300.fc32.x86_64 This seems to be the latest available. To use VirtualBox I need to configure it and that requires that I install kernel headers. The current version I have installed is : kernel-devel-5.7.7-200.fc32.x86_64 I can't find the kernel headers to match my OS level and I can't see an upgrade mechanism to get the kernel up to 5.7.7-200. Any ideas how to resolve this ? Mark Mark Roberts Senior Solution Architect Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com/> mroberts(a)redhat.com <marrober(a)redhat.com> M: 07887-850270 <https://www.redhat.com/>

off-topic - Ryzen cpu purchasing question
by David 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

I have all the basic components ready for a new pc build except for the CPU. I can get by easily with a Ryzen 3, but that processor would not be much better than my old Intel. But it would allow me to finish my build faster, and be up and running with Fedora on my new NVMe M.2 drive. Where I live, ordering online at Walmart is about $ 10 cheaper than other services. I will be using this computer for basic household task while at the same time reporting my experiences with Fedora and likely just the Rawhide isos. I hope to install several Rawhide isos on my new NVMe in the coming months, and probably other distros too. I have no reason to hurry with this build other than being anxious to report how it works with various Linux distros and especially Fedora. I assume it would be silly to waste money on a $ 300 cpu. Right ? But if I can restrain myself, and take a deep breath, then I should be able to place an order the new Ryzen 5 3600XT in about a month. Those are currently $ 250 plus tax U.S.A. dollars. I can not really justify doing that today. Today, I could order the Ryzen 3 for $ 75, and start my build next week. Does anybody really care how the Ryzen 3 now performs in 2020 on Fedora ( on a desktop pc ) ?? I imagine that would now only be relevant on a laptop. David Locklear

newbie question about version numbers of Linux software
by David 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

According to some programs in Gnome, the version number is "bumped up," even though there were no changes. This ideology seems odd to me. Example the Gnome game, "Hitori." And while I have your attention, I still have not figured out the game-launcher "Athenaeum." I can't get any of the games installed with that to update. Is there a separate updater inside the game-launcher ? Maybe they are up to date, but Gnome Software does not think so. Try Hitori for example, since it is so tiny, and you might be able to verify my issue. I have not yet check in terminal to see if the version number matches what Gnome Software is claiming.

by Adrian Sevcenco 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

Hi! Does anyone have an idea how can i stop that libinput crap forcing my latop in tablet mode and by this disabling the keyboard and touchpad? This effectively bricked my latop! is not longer usable! This happened just just after an update, but because there were many packages i cannot narrow it down. I already tried to downgrade libinput, the keyboard is still disabled This in an HP Pavilion 11 x360 convertible. Thank you!! Adrian

Bootable USB and a Windows ISO-file
by Robin Lee 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

I'm trying to do a very simple task on my Fedora 32 desktop but somehow I can't make it happen. I've downloaded a Windows installer ISO-file from microsoft.com that I put on a USB-stick and tried to install Windows on physical machine, but it won't boot from the USB. It shows up in the BIOS boot menu, but it won't boot. I've tried to install the same ISO-file in Boxes and that went fine. I've tried both Brasero and Disk Image Writer, I've tried two different USB-sticks and two different physical target machines. What am I doing wrong? Or is this nefarious scheming by Linux to stop people from experimenting with alternative operating systems?

pulseaudio over network
by Richard Shaw 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

I plan on doing a demonstration for an Emergency Management meeting and I need to have two computers cross connected via audio. Ideally this would be between two sound cards but laptops with a single 3.5mm audio jack seem to be problematic. I've ordered another USB->Audio adapter but it won't get here in time. I basically want to pipe the audio Comp1-out -> Comp2-in, and Comp2-out -> Comp1-in. I can find an Arch wiki on how to set this up (kinda) but wasn't sure it 100% translated to Fedora. Anybody have any suggestions or links on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Richard
