scripting Gnome - ?
by lejeczek 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi guys. Would you know best, or perhaps just a good way, to script Gnome, Nautilus/Files specifically? I'd like to script "bookmarks", which would if possible get re-created at user login automatically. All notions shared are much appreciated. many thanks, L.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

display problem (probably OT?)
by home user 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

(f34; gnome (is that relevant?), NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660], Dell U2711) This is a dual-monitor home workstation. This afternoon, the left monitor suddenly started displaying only dim vertical stripes and lines and a black background, nothing else. The right monitor still works fine. It is the same when I switch the monitor cables on the back of the tower, at the graphics card outlets. How do I determine whether the problem is the monitor, the graphics card, the graphics driver, or something else? Is there something to look for in a log file? If yes, what do I look for, and which log file should I look in?

dns config query

hi list, i have recently failed to get a cascaded router configuration to work, so i removed the second router and am now just using the att provided router (arris bgw210700).

DRPM performance ?
by jim.cromie＠gmail.com 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

so a couple of weeks ago, I did a dnf update, and got ~ 19% reduction due to DRPM that was by far the highest return on the effort Id seen. previous experience for me was 1-4%. I should have grabbed a "screenshot" and sent it here. Whats the "average" experience here ? are there statistics ? do *noarch 's do better ? how often do you see some version of "find/download failed" ? (it sometimes appears to be a cached-version problem, particularly if the update is older than a few days)

audio problem
by Eyal Lebedinsky 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

I am on f34 5.15.16-100.fc34.x86_64 This problem started recently (a few weeks, maybe a little longer?). Initially I noticed audio hiccups when playing mythtv recordings. At times there was also video noise but not always. I then found that playing audio from a network stream (with vlc) also had hiccups. The sound would stop and start, sometime even repeat a fraction of a second. I now played a track from a local disk and the same issues were heard. There are no messages to indicate a problem. I then used 'mplayer' which has more console messages and I now can see an issue: ========================================================================== Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders libavcodec version 58.134.100 (external) Mismatching header version 58.130.100 AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->176400) Selected audio codec: [ffflac] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg FLAC audio) ========================================================================== [AO SDL] Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format s16le AO: [sdl] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Video: no video Starting playback...

One more data point: for a long time (many months) I had a problem where the system locks up hard needing a cold restart. There were no hiccups otherwise. It always had mythtv playing or YouTube. When locked the sound of the last second would loop continuously until the reset. The video is frozen then. Maybe related? This is a long running problem (happens once every few months) but the audio stutter is a recent, new issue. TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Attempting mount of Bootable CD/DVD gives "Can't open blockdev" message

Temporary XFCE Thunar weirdness
by Sam Varshavchik 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Something weird happened after I installed a bunch of updates and rebooted. There were no kernel updates, or anything that I recall might be related. Normally I have a lone "File System" icon that opens up Thunar. After the reboot I got half a dozen icons. I recall a "Root Filesystem" icon, a "proc" icon, a "sys" icon; an icon for every filesystem mount point. It was really weird. Additionally attaching my MP3 player, a usb-storage device, elicited no response, it was not getting auto-mounted. I tried logging out and in, without any changes. After another reboot things were back to normal. Just the "File System" icon that, obediently, launched Thunar. My usb-storage device was getting auto- mounted just fine. Has anyone else seen this before, and know what's up? I'd be curious to know if there's a way to fix this up without rebooting.

How to install F35
by Michael Hennebry 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

How does one install F35? I've got the workstation iso on a DVD. It runs, but clicking on install seems to have little or no effect. I certainly do not get any prompts for the next step. What is the magic formula? BTW I do not have the wiggle room for dual boot. I backed up my home directory and edited my partitions before running the DVD. Do I need to have an internet connection available to do the install? The first time I tried this, an "update" or whatever it was doing took over an hour before I gave up. I'd prefer a separate update step that I can watch. The joy of installion is a reason I do it so rarely. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

screen lock - ? - not locking
by lejeczek 03 Apr '22

03 Apr '22

Hi guys. I have "Automatic Screen Lock Delay" set to "5 minutes" but instead of locked screen I get some apps reshuffled between two monitors. My setup is laptop (AMD APU) with external monitor which monitor is set to "Primary". It's mostly Thunderbird which I keep on laptop-display and when this non-lock happens I find Thunderbird moved to "primary" and some Firefox/Chromium windows moved from Primary to laptop. Something looks like seriously fcuked up with recent f35, it was not weird from the start, updates from recent months introduced this I think. I say seriously because the fact that "locking" does not work is serious - Fedora eventually locks the screen but that is not that first "5 minutes". It seems that it takes a few - how many I did not time - tries before it succeeds. Anybody sees this or similar misbehavior? many thanks, L.

Just wondering ladies and gentlemen. Is there any way to get the new text editor to use a "dark" theme? I love its simple interface and the fact that the text can be BOLDED again! But this bright white?..is KILLING my eyes! Just wondering is all! Thanks! WEGO II

When Fedora 32 was installed on my laptop it did not creat a wi-fi device (aka wlan0). How should I go about creating the appropriate device? Thanks.

Kernel 5.16.18 refuses to process sound
by Temlakos 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Everyone: Today I recorded a video using Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) and a Logitech BRIO camera with build-in microphone that has delivered flawless performance to date. Imagine my shock and chagrin when I played a video I had just recorded, only to find that I had picture, but no sound. I just fell back on Kernel 5.16.17, and it picked up the sound just fine. Last Known Good and all that. All that to say this: the kernel has a bug, and killed the handling of sound from microphones. At least in the current version. The last version handled it without a hitch and still does. I have removed that version of the kernel and would like to skip it. Two questions: 1. How do I set DNFDragora to skip a current version and call me back when it has a new version of the kernel for me to try out? 2. How do I file a bug against the kernel? I tried accessing a bug reporting program but don't know where to find it.

setup for M/L (nvidia)
by Neal Becker 01 Apr '22

Trying to setup for machine learning. Here's what I tried. Actually, we can just view dnf history. In reverse chronological order: 1. install the nvidia device driver from rpmfusion: sudo dnf install 61 | install /var/cudnn-local-repo-rhel7-8.3.2.44/libcudn | 2022-03-31 18:38 | Install | 1 60 | install /home/nbecker/Downloads/cudnn-local-repo-rhe | 2022-03-31 18:37 | Install | 1 59 | install cuda | 2022-03-31 15:55 | Install | 60 < 58 | install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda | 2022-03-31 15:23 | Install | 4 > 57 | -y install --disablerepo=* /tmp/akmods.VU8cZxAa/resu | 2022-03-31 14:57 | Install | 1 56 | install akmod-nvidia | 2022-03-31 14:49 | Install | 62 E< After installing akmod-nvidia, we need to obtain cuda and cudnn direct from nvidia. They have setup repos, which after installation provide: baseurl= https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/fedora35/x86_64 and a local repo: baseurl=file:///var/cudnn-local-repo-rhel7-8.3.2.44 While nvidia provides fedora specific cuda I could only find rhel7 version of cudnn. The installations succeed and everything is working. But with these new repos enabled update is broken: sudo dnf update [sudo] password for nbecker: Last metadata expiration check: 0:45:46 ago on Thu 31 Mar 2022 06:38:21 PM EDT. Dependencies resolved.

The only solution I can think of for now is just disable those 2 nvidia repos after installation. Has anyone setup M/L nvidia on fedora and have a better solution? Thanks, Neal
