wayward wayland.
by home user 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

While trying to diagnose problems as a part of another thread in this list, I discovered that wayland is not functional on my workstation. I'm currently logged in to gnome using the top "GNOME" entry in the menu of desktops that is displayed in the upper right corner of the monitor during login. Results of tests suggested in that other thread: bash.12[~]: env | grep -i wayland bash.13[~]: ps -ef | grep -i wayland weilian+ 128352 2160 0 11:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i wayland bash.14[~]: ps -ef | grep -i earlyoom weilian+ 128358 2160 0 11:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i earlyoom bash.15[~]: Also, I tried logging in to plasma with wayland. After entering my credentials, the screens went black. After 2 minutes, I hit the hard reset and rebooted. Through 8 years of weekly patches and semi-annual upgrades, I've never done anything to block or disable wayland. Shouldn't it have been automatically installed somewhere in those 8 years? How do I get wayland properly working on my workstation?

How can I see a custom grub entry to be the default?
by Barry Scott 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

I have a PC that has Windows 10 and Fedora install in duel boot configuration. I have been using this grub config file to add the ability to boot to Windows using grub. : [1] root $ cat /etc/grub.d/09_custom #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry 'Windows' { insmod part_gpt insmod chain set root='hd0,gpt2' chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi boot } Using grubby I can use the set-default-index to default the next boot to any of the installed fedora kernels. But sometimes I would like to default the next grub boot to be the Windows entry. How can I do that? Barry

by Geoffrey Leach 30 Apr '21

Does anyone have an explanation for this network failure? Or, more to the point, is the problem more likely to be local rather than with the server? wget -vvv -O ml https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/track/8G441/tr… --2021-04-29 07:11:56-- https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/track/8G441/tr… Resolving www.podtrac.com (www.podtrac.com) 44.231.197.162, 54.200.97.37, 52.24.105.221 Connecting to www.podtrac.com (www.podtrac.com)|44.231.197.162|:443... connected.

keyboard
by Patrick Dupre 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hello, Is there a way to set the favorite keyboard layout before login to a desired value (and not have to change it manually)? It seems that the documentation https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/System_Administrators_G… is not updated. Or I missed something.

Virtual camera on OBS-Studio not working
by Paul Smith 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Dear All, I have upgraded from F33 to F34. Everything is working fine now except the OBS-Studio virtual camera, which is not working. I am using v4l2loopback, and I see that my camera lights up when I open OBS-Studio, but suddenly it goes off. There is no problem with my camera, as it works fine on Skype, for instance. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

curious service files installed on fresh f34 system
by Tom Horsley 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Just been comparing my f33 and f34 partitions, and while every other service file in the universe lives in /usr/lib/systemd/system the two new services dbus-org.freedesktop.oom1.service and dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service are not installed there. They appear to be in /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.oom1.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.oom1.service /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.resolve1.service The /etc files are symlinks to other services in the "normal" place, but with a different name (oom rather than oom1) Does anyone know what all this convolution is about? I thought the /etc directories were where system administrators were supposed to install copies to override the system files, why are things installed there by fedora? Just curious after my scripts to list info about new services failed because the file wasn't found where I expected it :-).

How to Report an issue to an RPM maintainer??
by Michael D. Setzer II 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Just found a bug in dialog program with --pause option. Have a project (G4L) that uses it, and it worked fine all the way up to Fedora 32. That has Version: 1.3-20191210. Just upgraded build machine from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33, and found the command no longer works. It shows the count down value, but never counts down. Fedora 33 has dialog - Version: 1.3-20200327. Contacted the maintainer, and got an immediate reponse that it was a bug, and had been fixed after that version. Downloaded the current latest source code Version: 1.3-20210324. Built it, and it works fine on the Fedora 33 Was looking for who to contact, but don't know where or to who I would report the issue. Solved my problem, but would like to get it resolved for other that might have some that that uses dialog with the --pause option. Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

gnome 40 observations
by Tom Horsley 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

I like that the start screen defaults to what you get when you go to activities. There is actually some chance that a new user will have an idea of how to do things instead of just seeing an empty screen. I don't like that favorites are now all the way on the bottom so you have to run your mouse much farther to get to them. Maybe on gnome 41 they can cluster the activities button, the search entry and the favorites all near the top left instead of spreading them out so far. I'm still going back to my own custom fvwm setup once I get everything installed and configured the way I like it :-).
