Screen lock no longer asking for password
by Adam Mercer 09 May '21

09 May '21

Hi I've noticed that a couple of days ago my screen has stopped locking, i.e. before then the screen would blank I'd need to reenter my password to resume using the machine but now it is just unlocked. In the settings the screen is set to blank after 5 minutes and lock immediately but I am never prompted for a password. Any ideas what could be going on here? Could there be another process blanking the screen that is bypassing the screen lock? Cheers Adam

weird flicker of fedora logo in gnome?
by Tom Horsley 08 May '21

08 May '21

I can't decide if this is a feature or a bug. I haven't yet finished configuring fedora 34 to use my FVWM session instead of gnome, so I'm running gnome on xorg with nvidia binary drivers. At seemingly random times, the fedora logo down in the bottom right corner will flicker like it is folding down to the corner, then pop back up. I mostly notice it when running a dnf update since there is nothing to do but watch the screen while it downloads and updates. Anyone else see this? Is it supposed to be a clever animated feature, or is it just a bug? (Just curious, it clearly isn't critical :-).

similar software as NewPipe, etc on F34?
by Ranjan Maitra 06 May '21

06 May '21

Hi, I use NewPipe from the FDroid repo on android to watch YouUube videos, without downloading. I am aware of youtube-dl but is there something on F34 that makes it possible to watch streaming videos on YouTube? Thanks, Ranjan

Subject: What is the best (and free) Linux softphone? Good day from Singapore, I already have an Asterisk-based FreePBX VoIP IP PBX SIP server virtual appliance (VirtualBox). I do not want to spend so much money on buying physical IP phones. Recently, I migrated my Fortigate 60D firewall, Huawei E3276s-920 4G LTE USB modem, FreePBX virtual appliance (on laptop) and 1 unit of Cisco 7960 IP phone from my home to the community hostel. I cannot migrate too many hardware to the community hostel even though I have 4 Cisco 7960 IP phones. As stated earlier, I do not want to spend so much money on buying physical IP phones. I am trying to save as much money as possible as I live in extreme poverty in Singapore. My proposed solution is to install many Linux virtual machines on my laptop. Each Linux virtual machine will have a softphone. So my ultimate question is: What is the best (and free) Linux softphone available? Do I have many choices? I am looking forward to your reply.

dnf system-upgrade dependency resolution failure
by Sam Varshavchik 04 May '21

04 May '21

I'm trying to update a system that has some locally-built packages. They get installed from a local repository. I rebuilt all the packages in mock for F34. Problem 1: problem with installed package libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc33.20210503063931.x86_64 - libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc33.20210503063931.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - nothing provides selinux-policy >= 34.3-1.fc34 needed by libcxxbase-selinux-0.23.0.20210503-1.fc34.x86_64 dnf sees the .fc34 package, but then claims no knowledge of "selinux-policy >= 34.3-1.fc34". I see selinux-policy-34.3-1.fc34.noarch.rpm in updates, and with specifying --allowerasing results in my local packages getting uninstalled, and the selinux-policy updated normally. This one has me stumped.
