KDE and Gnome - best install to start with?
by Sbob 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

All; I have a new touchscreen laptop. I want to install both KDE and Gnome, I started with the Fedora 35 KDE spin and I will now add Gnome with: # dnf groupinstall gnome Is this the best method? Should I start with the default Fedora 35 install dvd and then install KDE? Does it matter / is there any difference in the results?

Problems with audio output
by Patrick O'Callaghan 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Apologies for the vague subject line. The situation is as follows: I have an iRig2HD audio converter plugged into a USB socket, and am attempting to set up Guitarix (from the Fedora repo) as an effects tool for an electric guitar. Guitarix is designed to be used with the Jack audio platform, and F35 supplies a Pipewire alternative which seems to work correctly for input, i.e. I can see the input signal in the Guitarix monitor. I can also output to the PCs sound card, generate effects etc. However I can't produce output to the USB port, though the connected hardware is enabled and recognised. I get these errors in the journal: Jan 18 13:30:29 Bree pipewire[2535]: pw.node: (alsa_output.usb-IK_Multimedia_iRig_HD_2-00.analog-stereo-49) start node error -32: Broken pipe Jan 18 13:30:30 Bree pipewire[2535]: spa.alsa: front:3: snd_pcm_start: Broken pipe Jan 18 13:30:30 Bree pipewire[2535]: spa.audioadapter: 0x55f6abcba528: can't send command 2: Broken pipe This may be a permissions problem or something else. Any ideas? poc

sddm missing pieces
by Robert McBroom 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

With sddm as the display manager for a f35 system get a black screen with a mouse cursor but limited response to the keyboard. Can only switch to an alternate screen and then enter commands. Can use lightdm. Don't see anything wrong in sddm.conf. Is sddm tied to wayland and won't run in X11 ?

No matter what I do, I get this error: Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer It's discovered just fine, and I've not had anything like this problem previously. Any suggestions? Riki

Hi guys. How do you get your Firefox to run/work with different user? I'm thinking obvious - sudo, su - kind of 'runas' with windows OS. many thanks, L

Hi! I have a weird problem with kdevelop: after upgrade to f35 kdevelop no longer finds pycodestyle.. in the terminal output i get: kdevelop.plugins.python.parser: Discarding parts of the code to be parsed because of previous errors IndentationError: unexpected indent (<kdev-editor-contents>, line 108) ---- Parsing FAILED ---- python code checker error: "The `pycodestyle` (previously `pep8`) module is not installed." but i have both: root@hal: ~ # rpm -qa | grep pycodestyle python3-pycodestyle-2.7.0-2.fc35.noarch and user side installation: pip3 freeze | grep pycodestyle pycodestyle==2.8.0 Does anyone have any idea what is going on? or encountered this? Thank you! Adrian

F35 - zram on auto install?
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

With all this memory work I have been doing I finally noticed that free was reporting 24GB swap: # free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15625916 7018872 6765700 109108 1841344 8162532 Swap: 25165816 0 25165816 Thing is I only have 16GB in my swap partition: # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: WDC WDBNCE5000PN Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xa3fd40f9 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 2099199 2097152 1G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2099200 148899839 146800640 70G 83 Linux /dev/sda3 148899840 182454271 33554432 16G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 182454272 976773119 794318848 378.8G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 182456320 976773119 794316800 378.8G 83 Linux OK. What is happening. I remember Ed's comment about him using zram, so I did some digging and find: # swapon --show NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda3 partition 16G 0B -2 /dev/zram0 partition 8G 0B 100 Um, I did not know I set up zram? How did that happen. Is zram now part of the basic Fedora install? It has been a while my using zram. How do I disable it for now? With 16GB real memory and 16GB real swap partition, I want to see how things are working... thanks

ssd keeps dying??
by Neal Becker 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I've had a workstation (dual amd rome) for about 2 years. The M2 ssd died after about 1 year. I replaced it with a samsung 980 pro, which then lasted almost 1 more year. Then I replaced it with a 1TB samsung 980 pro, this time with heat sink. This lasted a few weeks. I had been looking at smart nvme data and saw no problems, temp was fine. Now it's dead again. I can ssh to the machine. I can cat /proc/partitions and no nvme shown. I can only issue a couple of commands (I guess whatever is builtin to bash?), but almost all just give I/O error. no sudo or journatctl. The machine is only used for compute, not heavy I/O so not caused by ssd wear (and smartctl showed no wear at all). Any ideas? Thanks, Neal -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

Making dnf install ssh:// work
by Richard W.M. Jones 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

# dnf install ssh://foo/tmp/bar.rpm Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:41 ago on Sun 16 Jan 2022 09:21:19 GMT. [MIRROR] bar.rpm: Curl error (1): Unsupported protocol for ssh://foo/tmp/bar.rpm [Protocol "ssh" not supported or disabled in libcurl] I'm trying to work out if it's possible to make this work by adjusting the dnf configuration. I'm going to say _no_ because the list of allowed protocols is hard-coded in a couple of places: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/b831cbd50bb04ace86a90c6… https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/b831cbd50bb04ace86a90c6… However the error message seems to indicate that the restriction is being enforced by curl itself using this mechanism: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS.html I cannot see where dnf calls curlopt at all - perhaps it's in a different library? Anyway I think it'd be nice to support ssh, and should be safe. (ftp is allowed at the moment, so presumably security isn't high on the list of current concerns).

gnome-shell-extension-window-list
by Winfried de Heiden 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi all, Sice a couple of days, the Gnome Shell Extension "Window List" seems broken; the icons are missing. Switching the extension off and on will make icons appear again. However, after opening a new application, the (new) icons is missing. On https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions someone is facing exactly the same problem. Is someone aware of this problem? Workaround available? I cannot find a Bugzilla on this, so I will create one... Winfried
