questions after upgrade to fedora34
by cheese＠nosuchhost.net 21 May '21

hi i have two problems after upgrading to fedora34: * copy/paste in xterm/terminator now paints the copied text with reversed colors. in fedora 33 it was clear that in my black on white terminal marked text is colored white with black background. that part works the same in f34. pasting is different now. pasted text was colored like typed text, in fedora34 it is now colored the same as marked text. quite annoying, at least for me. * i have two accounts (usera and userb). normaly i use usera and this is my main account which i use to log into fedora. userb is just used for "jailing" firefox away from my normal user. works in fedora 34, but i no longer have sound from that firefox. i think the reason might be pipewire. is pipewire capable to send one users sounds to another users devices on the same machine? any suggestions anyone? thanks josef

Video controller recommendations
by Alex 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hi, I currently have an AMD Radeon 5770 with 1GB that must be at least ten years old. I've just purchased a 32" Samsung to go with my two 27" connected using DVI. If I continue to use this card, I would connect the 32" with the HDMI or DisplayPort adapter. How would this card perform supporting three monitors? I realize it's a terrible time to purchase a video card, but do you have any recommendations? I currently use one monitor for streaming, and plan to use the other two for work-related things. No games now, but perhaps in the future - what's the game market like for Linux users using fedora33 these days? I believe AMD is a better option than Nvidia due to the drivers on Linux, correct? Do I need anything more than a 4GB card? I thought the main advantages for more memory were to support larger resolutions, correct? Is there a big difference between PCI 2.1 and 3.0/3.1? Here are a few I've been considering. Other recommendations? AMD FirePro V9800 4GB 6x mini displayport https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6RNJL3 AMD ATI FirePro W7000 4GB GDDR5 4 DisplayPort PCI-E https://amazon.com/Dell-FirePro-DisplayPort-Workstation-Graphics/dp/B07NLJQ… Radeon RX 560 1295MHz,4gb GDDR5 https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-1295MHz-Graphics-RX-560P4SFG5/dp/B072VH8N…

Honest Questions -- Trying to decide on version of linux/os
by bruce 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hi. In the middle of trying to figure out a dev platform. So, looking at a blank slate to figure out what version of OS should have on the "work" laptop. Project work will be on the laptop as well as cloud VM.. At the same time (if it matters), looking to to have a new laptop -- 12-16G, 256GSSD/1TB, 6-8 core. I'd prefer to have an OS that's rather stable, as I'm not looking to be the "sys admin" role.. Although, if I can find a remote sys admin that I could trust for a reasonable fee. I could be down for it. Given that this is Fed, I expect the maority of replies will lean to Fed! So, I'm interested in thoughts for the group. Thanks

Strange VPN behaviour
by Anca, Tibor 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hello, I'm using Fedora 34. For some services I need to connect to my corporate VPN (Cysco). I use openconnect with NetworkManager, which connects fine to the vpn server. But there is a weird problem and I can not figure out, where to change something. If I use the AnyConnect-Client, the client creates on connect a resolv.conf and saves the simlink to a backup file which is restored upon disconnect. After it connects it modifies the resolv.conf with entries on domain, dns servers etc. So I can call urls only available within the vpn network. I i use openconnect (which I prefer, because it keeps my network printer available), it doenst do almost anything with resolve.conf. It only adds a search entry, no dns, nothing. In this case I have to enter the ip address of the services I need within the vpn network. I can resolve this by adding an entry into hosts.conf, but nevertheless this bugs me. I already searched the internet, tried a lot with nmcli, systemd- resolved, but nothing helped. It seems, that openconnect doesn't populate some vital dns entries. What could I try?

Maybe pipewire is better.
by Tom Horsley 18 May '21

18 May '21

If I paused a youtube video in chrome and came back to it later and pressed play, I almost always lost a few seconds of sound on f33 using pulseaudio. I don't have a large sample set yet, but it seems like that doesn't happen with the new pipewire audio.

WTF?! Gimp wants root password???
by Tom Horsley 18 May '21

18 May '21

Just started gimp for the very first time on fedora 34 and it pops up a authenticate dialog asking for root password. What in the great googly-moogly is this about? (Stderr has some message about xsane so maybe it wants to configure a scanner which I do not have on the system). How do I make it stop forever and never ask again?

Issues installing Fedora 34 on Mac Mini 2018 (w/ Kernel Panic Logs)
by Jorge Castello 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hi Folks, Thanks in advance to those who read this email to help me out! I'm super excited to try out Fedora 34 - please note that this is my first time installing Linux. I'm eager to get things working but I've run into a roadblock that I'm having tremendous difficulty figuring out. Please let me know if you can help. System Specs: - Mac Mini 2018 - macOS Big Sur Version 11.3.1 - Note: I replaced the original Mac Mini RAM with 32GB of Crucial RAM <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071H38422/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_ti…> Installing Fedora: - I obtained a USB stick from my local Walgreens (16GB Infinitiv) - I downloaded the Fedora Media Writer, & proceeded to follow the instructions to write Fedora 34 to the USB - I also disabled secure boot & enabled the ability to boot from an external USB The problem: - When I restart my computer holding the options key, I see an orange option titled "EFI Boot" - When I click it, everything immediately becomes black and it's very clear that the Mac is restarting - When it restarts, it mentions that "A problem occurred that necessitated the reboot" - I've attached the full Kernel panic log to this email Some details from the Kernel Panic Log: - caused_by: "macos" - "os_version": "Bridge OS 5.3" - "kernel" : "Darwin Kernel Version 20.4.0: Thu Mar 4 23:34:36 PST 2021; root:xnu-7195.101.1~1\/RELEASE_ARM64_T8010", - "macOSPanicString" : "panic(EFI): Exception 6 occurred: Invalid Opcode\r\n\n - EFI Version: 1554.100.64.0.0 Thanks again for your input. I'd love to buy coffee, beer, or whatever you prefer if you can help me out. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 16 May '21

16 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg
