automatic updates corrupting grub loader
by John List 10 May '21

10 May '21

Something is updating on my Fedora 33 system and destroying my grub loader on a dual boot system. I have reinstalled a couple times and even tried Fedora 34. Fedora 34 won't install giving an error about not being able to update the /boot/efi directory. Fedora 33 at least starts the first time until the updates run. The first boot I get the grub menu. The second time after updates, I get a grub command line screen. 1. Automatic updates keep installing before I can troubleshoot. The first time I login, I disable and stop packagekit. But either it already sets automatic updates on next boot, or something else is running updates on next boot which is killing the grub menu. 2. I am assuming the grub loader is getting replaced when a kernel is updated. The original Fedora 33 kernel installed with the install media works. But after the updates, it does not work. Any help on disabling the automatic updates and then troubleshooting the dual boot issue would be appreciated. John

Any way to setup an https connection with Fedora 33 with ISP that blocks ports 80 and 443??
by Michael D. Setzer II 10 May '21

10 May '21

For a long time I've run my web server with no problem on port 8081 with my ISP. Have noticed that browsers are moving to want to only use https or secure connections. Have tired a few options but don't work. Created one setup with self-signed option, but when used it it came back with error about it being self-signed? Just tried and option using certbot, but it requires access on port 80?? Asked on there forum, and got a reponse that they don't work with that. They mentioned another option that works if port 443 is opened, but just checked that also seems to be block. Thanks.

errors and weird touchpad behavior
by Anil F Duggirala 09 May '21

09 May '21

hello, I am running Fedora 33 on a Dell XPS 9550. My touchpad appears to be working ok, except for the fact that doing actual clicks (pressing on the touchpad is not working), but that appears to be a problem with the touchpad (because it also is not working really on Windows). I am getting the following error on startup: [ 2.770865] psmouse serio1: synaptics: device claims to have min coordinates query, but I'm not able to read it. [ 2.770870] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: DLL06e4 PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input(a)vger.kernel.org. [ 2.978865] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Unable to initialize device. Can anyone tell me if this might be an actual hardware issue at this point? Is there a possibility this error is telling me why "clicking" is not working? Is there any firmware of software I could install that might fix this problem (for any OS)? thank you,

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 :-).

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.
