Links to redhat subscriber only content from Fedora
by jeandet 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Hello, While looking in /etc/modprobe.d/ I found this file batman-adv- blacklist.conf which has a funny name so I read it and here is the content: ============================================================== # This kernel module can be automatically loaded by non-root users. To # enhance system security, the module is blacklisted by default to ensure # system administrators make the module available for use as needed. # See https://access.redhat.com/articles/3760101 for more details. # # Remove the blacklist by adding a comment # at the start of the line. blacklist batman-adv ============================================================== I followed the link but it seems that you need a redhat subscription to read it. I wonder if those links could be public when also pointed form Fedora, or what's the point to include them if regular Fedora users can't read them? This is not a big deal, I'm just asking in case this has been missed or curious about the reason to leave them. Best regards, Alexis.

looking for a NAS ...
by Cameron Simpson 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Disclaimer: not Fedora specific. In a former life we ran our backups to QNAP NASes in a data centre. They were nice boxes with a little LED console strip on the front and for when desperate, a video out and a USB socket which would take a keyboard on the back. We were happy. On that basis we obtained a more recent QNAP for a client. No LED text strip on the front, just a few cryptic LEDs, and nothing on the back of any use. So when it crashes its basicly a black box, maddening. Has anyone any recommendations for nice NASes for a small office? Requirements: - some kind of useful front panel - basic status at the very least, ideally some degree of control if it isn't speaking on the network - 10G ethernet, ideally 2 - NFS support - something like 8 3.5" SATA drive bays, hot swap - can run XFS natively inside - ext3 and ext4 are fragile, and we're using iSCSI to do XFS for the large backup volume at present - preferable capable of iSCSI, though if they do XFS inside then just NFS will do us The QNAPs seem to have a billion features but are a recovery nightmare to us when they have a failure (not a drive failure, that's the usual swap in a new drive RAID shuffle, I mean a crash or filesystem repair situation). The current QNAP is a few years old, BTW, but we're unhappy. Suggestions and/or experiences welcome. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <cs(a)cskk.id.au>

by home user 19 Aug '20

(f31; gnome) I have a Ligitech HD Pro Webcam C920; it connects to the tower via USB port. I have not been able to find anything installed to control it, for example to get it to zoom in or out. I also tried dnf and dnfdragora to try to find something to install. What is available, preferably via dnf, to give me control of my webcam?

F32, nVidia, & hdmi audio problem
by Jack Craig 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hello fedora users out there in fedora land I have a problem with hdmi audio on fedora 32 with an Nvidia card. I recently had to replace my desktop workstation, it is now built upon HP elite desktop, Nvidia card on fedora 32 . After install, audio over HDMI on the video card was OK, but after using it for a short while, the audio over hdmi stopped working. the sound config now directs all hdmi audio to the installed internal speakers rather than out the hdmi port. suggestions? thx, jackc... !!Packages installed !!-------------------- alsa-utils-1.2.3-4.fc32.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.2.3.2-1.fc32.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64

anbox fails with 5.7 kernel
by Jon LaBadie 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

The snap called anbox (Android in a Box) requires two kernel modules ashmem and binder. With the 5.7 kernel the decision was made to prevent access to a function "kallsyms_lookup_name" which is needed for dkms to compile the two modules. Has anyone come across a workaround that would allow the anbox snap to work on Fedora 32? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

by Robert Moskowitz 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

I am trying to SSH from my virtual image to the host system and get connection refused. I have tried connecting to the systems' IP addr and the gateway IP addr for the virtual host. Still connection refused. I can SSH to my host from another with no trouble. What am I missing? thanks
