Two questions at once, arn't I being curious?
by Francisco Tissera
Hello everyone,
To day I received a notification telling me that important OS updates
were ready to install.
Instead of installing them from the software center though, I went ahead
and opened up terminal and ran
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
because i like the --refresh command a lot. Well, my question is, is it
the same to run the updates from terminal and from the software center?
does it matter from where they are ran?
The other question, totally unrelated, is: does anyone know/use a sound
theme that is not the default one, and believe it's a good sound theme?
if so, where can I get it, and how can I install a sound theme in Fedora?
Thank you for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Turning of webcam auto-focus
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
To turn off the auto-focus feature of my webcam, I used the following command:
v4l2-ctl -c focus_auto=0
However, recently, the same command returns the following:
# v4l2-ctl -c focus_auto=0
unknown control 'focus_auto'
#
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

A question about switching kernels
by Francisco Tissera
Hello everyone,
Just a few minutes ago, i updated my system, and found out that from
kernel version 5.10.19, there was an upgrade to 5.10.20, which I gladly did.
Well, when i, after rebooting, typed uname -r, I found out that i was
still using kernel 5.10.19, instead of 20.
Is there a way to switch to the new installed kernel and remove the old
one, is it safe to do so? if so, how?
Thank you for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Hello Samuel,
Thank you.
Interesting thing is, although I installed 5.10.20, the only available version in the grub menu is 5.10.19, strange.
Best regards.
Francisco.

You can remove any kernel that's not the running one. But it shouldn't
be necessary.
Removing any kernel, sure.
But don’t do it on anyone referenced by your bootloader, or you’ll have to do some repair activities.

Using WD MYCloud Ultra NAS
by Robert McBroom
Added a WD Mycloud Ultra NAS to my local network. Some variant of NFS is
used. There are two shares, one designated as public for access by all
systems on the network and one with a user and password.
Both are accessible on Windows systems on the network. The public share
can be mounted on Fedora 33 with the command--
-----
~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.248:/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public /mnt/Public
Created symlink
/run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants/rpc-statd.service →
/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.
-----
If the same type of command is used for the other share
-----
~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.248:/mnt/HD/HD_a2/mcstuffy /mnt/mcstuffy
Created symlink
/run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants/rpc-statd.service →
/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.
mount.nfs: Protocol not supported
-----
I don't see anyway to specify the user/password. Things I find with
search seem to be quite out of date.
Another mode of access is supposedly
nfs://192.168.1.248/nfs/mcstuffy
using this in a mount command gets NFS URL not supported. dolphin and
konqueror do not see it either.
Any help would be appreciated

Best video card with native drivers?
by Alex
Hi,
I have about $300 to spend on a new video controller for my desktop.
I'm using f33 with Xwayland and GNOME. I currently have two 27"
monitors and plan to get a third 32" 4K in the coming months. I have
an i7-8700 3.2Ghz on an Asus PRIME Z370-A with 64GB.
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/P...
I use my desktop for basic photo editing, playing videos, and basic
office/browser work. What recommendations do you have? Here's my
requirements:
- native open source drivers
- supports at least three monitors
- PCIe x16
- support for 4K
- HDMI output
- audio not necessary
What other specs should I consider? I currently have an old Radeon
HD-5770 but I'm starting to find playing video within a browser is
less than fluid.
$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770]
Subsystem: PC Partner Limited / Sapphire Technology Device e147
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Thanks,

seahorse keys manager
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi.
after I regularly installed "seahorse key-manager",
the window that appear when I launch it, have not the "main menu" on the
top of his window:
this menu is showed (and appears) in the instruction and in the explanation
of this application.
I can yet use "seahorse", but only pushing the button with a "big sign plus
(+).." (on the up left corner of the window).
I am not sure (because I am not accustom to use the seahorse application)
but I can think that my installation (without the main menu on the top of
the window ) don't give me the full control of usage of the program..
Can I know the reason that my installation have not the main menu?
(I made plus than one installation of the program , alter uninstalled the
previous)
<the version is seahorse 3.36.2>
This lack (of the menu) give limitation to usage of the program ?
Thank you for a kind answer
regards
Angelo
