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 :-).

drive layout
by bruce 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi. Doing some research into how devs are using their dev systems in terms of the actual layout/partition of the drives. I've seen plenty of articles, figured I'd ask here as well. If you have an interested, I'd appreciate your thoughts. 1) How is your drive/system laid out regarding your paritions? 2) Do you have multiple drives (SSD/Sata)? 3) Is OS on one drive, apps/data on the other? 4) Do you switch between OS(es)? 5) What's your "backup" process/strategy? 6) What's your "update" strategy(ies)? I'm looking to get a new system AMD/ryzen -8core 16G 256G SSD - 1TBSata I realize that I haven't changed in >10 years, so now is probably a good time get up to date on a number of things! thanks for your insights

Wayland and Nvidia
by Patrick O'Callaghan 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

I updated to F34 today and it all went very smoothly. I'm even running KDE/Plasma under Wayland and so far haven't noticed any issues (touch wood) ... ... except for this: according to: https://fedoramagazine.org/whats-new-fedora-34-workstation/ " ... Fedora still defaults to X.Org when you install the NVIDIA driver." I have the proprietary Nvidia module loaded and both Xorg and Xwayland are running, however there doesn't seem to be any access to the Nvidia GPU. nvidia-settings reports: "Unable to find display on any available system" and my attempts to run Steam games using the Vulkan compatibility layer (which runs happily on Xorg) don't work. Just in case, I tried again using Gnome with the same result. IOW, apparently Nvidia GPUs do not currently work with Wayland, but don't work with Xorg either. Is there something I'm misunderstanding here? poc

gthumb fails to start (f32)
by Eyal Lebedinsky 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Today I noticed that I am running an old version of gthumb, built from src. So I removed the whole package and then installed the standard one: Installed Packages gthumb.x86_64 1:3.10.1-1.fc32 @updates It fails when launched: (gthumb:818392): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 22:58:54.035: Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) I then removed gthumb and any other gthumb related items, then rnstalled gthumb. Now I get an extra warning before the abort: (gthumb:818392): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:58:53.989: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found. (gthumb:818392): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 22:58:54.035: Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) I did some searching but nothing helped. I would rather use the official package and not build from src. [BTW: I later found my notes from 2018 saying that I built from src due to this exact failure] [BTW: I have another similar f32 machine where it works just fine] This is an up-to-date fedora 32 using xfwm4. It was updated for many years so some fluff may be present - maybe an obscured config somewhere? I created a new user and got the same crash, so it is unlikely to be a user config. ===== gdb bt #0 g_log_structured_array (log_level=<optimized out>, fields=0x7ffeb2755b80, n_fields=4) at ../glib/gmessages.c:554 #1 0x00007fd13572fd49 in g_log_default_handler (log_domain=log_domain@entry=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=log_level@entry=6, message=message@entry=0x5603e1f81810 "Settings schema 'org.gnome.gthumb.browser' does not contain a key named 'sidebar-sections'", unused_data=unused_data@entry=0x0) at ../glib/gmessages.c:3123 #2 0x00007fd13572ff99 in g_logv (log_domain=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, format=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>) at ../glib/gmessages.c:1350 #3 0x00007fd135730233 in g_log (log_domain=log_domain@entry=0x7fd13563f718 "GLib-GIO", log_level=log_level@entry=G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, format=format@entry=0x7fd13565fb68 "Settings schema '%s' does not contain a key named '%s'") at ../glib/gmessages.c:1415 #4 0x00007fd1355e6bc1 in g_settings_schema_get_value (key=<optimized out>, schema=<optimized out>) at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:982 #5 g_settings_schema_get_value (schema=0x5603e1bbaed0, key=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:968 #6 0x00007fd1355e7230 in g_settings_schema_key_init (key=key@entry=0x7ffeb2755e20, schema=0x5603e1bbaed0, name=name@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettingsschema.c:1262 #7 0x00007fd1355eb4a9 in g_settings_get_value (settings=0x5603e1bbae60 [GSettings], key=key@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettings.c:1218 #8 0x00007fd1355ec710 in g_settings_get_strv (settings=<optimized out>, key=key@entry=0x5603df6a28a4 "sidebar-sections") at ../gio/gsettings.c:2198 #9 0x00005603df62cd3a in gth_browser_init (browser=0x5603e1cef8f0 [GthBrowser]) at ../gthumb/gth-browser.c:4776 #10 0x00007fd1354c6498 in g_type_create_instance (type=0x5603e1c9e730 [GthBrowser/GthWindow/GtkApplicationWindow/GtkWindow/GtkBin/GtkContainer/GtkWidget/GInitiallyUnowned]) at ../gobject/gtype.c:1867 #11 0x00007fd1354ac205 in g_object_new_internal (class=class@entry=0x5603e1daa800, params=params@entry=0x0, n_params=n_params@entry=0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:1937 #12 0x00007fd1354ad6ad in g_object_new_with_properties (object_type=0x5603e1c9e730 [GthBrowser/GthWindow/GtkApplicationWindow/GtkWindow/GtkBin/GtkContainer/GtkWidget/GInitiallyUnowned], n_properties=0, names=names@entry=0x0, values=values@entry=0x0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:2105 #13 0x00007fd1354ae331 in g_object_new (object_type=<optimized out>, first_property_name=first_property_name@entry=0x0) at ../gobject/gobject.c:1777 #14 0x00005603df6294d6 in gth_browser_new (location=location@entry=0x5603e1baa500, file_to_select=file_to_select@entry=0x5603e1c88f60) at ../gthumb/gth-browser.c:5081 #15 0x00005603df6239df in open_browser_window (location=0x5603e1baa500, file_to_select=0x5603e1c88f60, force_new_window=<optimized out>) at ../gthumb/gth-application.c:219 #16 0x00005603df623d94 in gth_application_command_line (application=application@entry=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], command_line=command_line@entry=0x5603e1d22160 [GApplicationCommandLine]) at ../gthumb/gth-application.c:299 #17 0x00007fd135572435 in _g_cclosure_marshal_INT__OBJECTv (closure=0x5603e139a5a0, return_value=0x7ffeb2756460, instance=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>, marshal_data=<optimized out>, n_params=<optimized out>, param_types=0x5603e139c4a0) at ../gio/gmarshal-internal.c:845 #18 0x00007fd1354a6ae6 in _g_closure_invoke_va (closure=<optimized out>, return_value=<optimized out>, instance=<optimized out>, args=<optimized out>, n_params=<optimized out>, param_types=<optimized out>) at ../gobject/gclosure.c:873 #19 0x00007fd1354bee4b in g_signal_emit_valist (instance=0x5603e13a00f0, signal_id=<optimized out>, detail=0, var_args=var_args@entry=0x7ffeb2756530) at ../gobject/gsignal.c:3407 #20 0x00007fd1354bfc63 in g_signal_emit (instance=instance@entry=0x5603e13a00f0, signal_id=<optimized out>, detail=detail@entry=0) at ../gobject/gsignal.c:3554 #21 0x00007fd1355cebf3 in g_application_call_command_line (exit_status=0x7ffeb2756654, options=<optimized out>, arguments=<optimized out>, application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication]) at ../gio/gapplication.c:1076 #22 g_application_call_command_line (application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], arguments=<optimized out>, options=<optimized out>, exit_status=0x7ffeb2756654) at ../gio/gapplication.c:1054 #23 0x00007fd1355d16cc in g_application_run (application=0x5603e13a00f0 [GthApplication], argc=-1300928940, argv=<optimized out>) at ../gio/gapplication.c:2540 #24 0x00005603df60bb27 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7ffeb27567c8) at ../gthumb/main.c:55 -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)
