Audio output device changes unbidden under f34
by Jonathan Ryshpan 25 Jul '21

25 Jul '21

When I queue up a number of podcasts to play in rhythmbox, the output device often changes when the second podcast starts, from a device connected via a USB port to the built in audio. This happens when I use either the PulseAudio Volume Control application or the KDE Plasma Audio Volume applet. I don't remember it happening under Fedora-33.

The meaningless kernel bug ever
by Sam Varshavchik 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

I feel silly even writing this. I just installed the 5.13.4-200 kernel update on my venerable Thinkpad W520. This old battle tank'd keyboard has a button that mutes the built-in microphone. It has a tiny orange LED that's lit when the mike is muted. I don't remember ever having to use it in the last decade, but it's there and that's what it does. Booting the 5.13 kernel: the orange LED gets turned on during the boot, and it stays lit. The mute button itself is fully functional. Audio mixer dutifully reports the ambient noise level gets muted on/off. There's also the built-in speaker mute button that works the same way, and its behavior is unchanged under 5.13, its orange LED is on only when it mutes the audio out. Rebooting 5.12: both mute buttons' LED indicators work as advertised. Can anyone think of an even more meaningless kernel bug?

New kernel
by jarmo 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Somethin went't wrong. Got updates of new kernel, kernel-5.13.4-200.fc34.x86_64. Now my HPlaptop won't start. I can write to loginwindow asked passwd. After that everything hangs. with kernel 5.12.15-300.fc34.x86_64 works. I have system in legacy mode, no LVM no UEFI. Only patitions there are /swap and / FS is EXT4... An my wife's Toshiba Satellite, After I disabled /dev/zram0 from system, because from boot.log I could see, that It tried to create SWAP to /dev/zram0. That Toshiba has also partitions /swap and / EXT4 no LVM no UEFI. After disbling, it boots, but takes terrible time, "fedora sircle" stops and takes long time to start XFCE4 VM. Anybody had same?

SD card Timestamp
by Clifford Snow 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Recently I've noticed that the file timestamp is 7 hours earlier than when the file was created. This is happening on both an SD card I use in a camera as well as my dashcam. Both the camera and the dashcam have been set for the correct date and time. Neither gives me the option for entering the timezone. It's not a big issue, but it's a hassle when looking for an image or video taken around a particular time. Looking at the Exif data on the dashcam video, it has recorded the correct time to the exif data. But pulling up the sd card, the video time is 7 hours earlier. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Clifford -- @osm_washington www.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch

Need help customising Thunar.
by Erik P. Olsen 23 Jul '21

23 Jul '21

Googling info on customising Thunar I find that you should click Edit in the menu which should be very easy. However, my problem is that there is no menu when I launch Thunar, so I guess the question is how do I get a menu in the Thunar window? -- Erik P.

MongoDB Community edition
by Scott van Looy 23 Jul '21

Hi, Does anyone have any hints for installing MongoDB on Fedora 34? I updated from F33 and whilst it’s still working/running, I can’t update it. Am I missing a compat lib or something?

Scheduling sequential systemd tasks
by John W. Himpel 21 Jul '21

21 Jul '21

I would like to run a task (TASKA) that updates some files at a specified time each day. I already can do that successfully using systemd timers and services. Upon completion of TASKA, I want to run TASKB with is an rsync command to propagate any file changes made in TASK A to other hosts. TASKA may run quickly or slowly, so I don't want to use a timer for TASKB, rather I want TASKB to execute upon the completion of TASKA. I can't seem to find the proper set of systemd options to set in the service file for TASKB to cause it to run upon completion of TASKA. Suggestions are welcome.

RSS usage higher on newer fedora releases higher for user-applications compared to 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 release, what might be the reason?
by Anand Babu 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

So, We were trying to move to Fedora 33 from Centos7 for our jvm and then we found the memory consumption to be higher than Centos7. we did the following: Step :1 Narrow the problem with a simple c-code #include<unistd.h> int main() { pause(); return 0; } Running this c-program on Fedora 33 yields 660 KB . While on centos7, it only takes 348 KB, Step 2: Narrow down the kernel versions . So, we tried testing different fedora VMs that we had and one of the VMs was running fedora 20. We were able to boot 1. kernel-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 2. kernel-3.17.4-200.fc20.x86_64 With kernel-3.11, pmap tells the RSS was only 388KB . Screenshot of pmap here: (https://ibb.co/D5zTXvs) while on kernel-3.17 its 920KB (https://ibb.co/vLByKkD) . From the pmap mappings, we see both the binaries are using the same glibc and ld.so etc. So, this seems like nothing has changed on the user-land while the RSS measurement has more than doubled. Could somehow have an idea on what else could explain the reason for his memory increase? This seems like something has changed from the kernel side in terms of how RSS was measured or the defaults have changed? Regards, -Anand

Fedora on IRC
by Earl Ramirez 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

God day, Pardon my ignorance, did Fedora moved from freenode to LibraIRC, I checked both and sent test messages but haven't received any response. In the past it was more active. Did I miss something? -- Kind Regards, Earl A. Ramirez 2021-07-20T21:23:01 (PST +0800)
