Fedora 36 ViurtualBox needs libvpx.so.6
by Terry Polzin 22 May '22

22 May '22

So where does this library come from? It would appear that earlier versions of VirtualBox used libvpx.so.5 which was part of compat-libvpx5, there doesn't seem to be a compat-libvpx6 package

LibreOffice Base?
by Robert Moskowitz 20 May '22

20 May '22

I want to create an Access Database on my F35 system so my wife can also use it on her Windows system using Access. So I did a quick bit of googling and found that maybe LibreOffice Base is what I want. So I did: dnf install libreoffice-base which worked, and then tried launching it and nothing... Any hints on getting this running? thanks

Who moved my akmods? :-)
by Tom Horsley 18 May '22

18 May '22

Just FYI: For those who are used to doing a tail -f on /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log to figure out when drivers have finished building after a kernel update, it ain't there no more. I found it over in /var/log/akmods/akmods.log (which I have to admit makes more sense as a location for a log file).

Gigabyte: "we cannot offer full support on Linux"
by Sam Varshavchik 17 May '22

17 May '22

It's been a long time since I've encountered this kind of obtuseness. This is not new, but I thought that this kind of blindness was in the rear-view mirror. I guess not. One of their motherboards keeps locking up on me. After some back and forth their last reply ended the discussion thread with a: # Since we do not fully support and validate Linux, we cannot offer full # support on Linux. Please try a Windows base OS to check if you are still # experiencing the same instability issue. Just thought I'd mention it here, so that other DIYers might take this into consideration. Looking at their support page, it's listing new BIOS updates every month.

openvpn vs F36
by Neal Becker 17 May '22

17 May '22

After updating F35->F36 my openvpn client is no longer connecting. I did look at https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/openssl-error-when-connecting-to-vpn-via-ne… And followed the last response https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/openssl-error-when-connecting-to-vpn-via-ne… Editing /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, but this still makes no difference. ip addr does not show the tun interface. Any ideas? Thanks, Neal

How does one request a new RPM package group?
by Scott Beamer 17 May '22

17 May '22

Greetings, I'd like to see an RPM package group added that would include all the KDE-specific games. Something like the way the Debian/Ubuntu "kdegames" packages depends on all the official KDE games. They're not included with either of the current KDE package groups and it's a pain to add them install them individually. How would one go about requesting the addition of a package group to Fedora? Is this done through Bugzilla, or is there anther way of going about this? TIA. Scott

by Barry Scott 17 May '22

17 May '22

I have been using the nvidia driver from rpmfusion on f35 without problem. Just upgraded to F36 and its using nouveau. There is a nvidia-fallback service that ran and did the modprobe nouveau. (Nice that this is here as a fallback) Anyone know why the rpmfusion driver is not automatically loaded after the upgrade? Barry

fractional scaling in Fedora 36
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello everyone, I have installed Fedora 36 on a high-dpi laptop (Del XPS 9550) and Gnome; Im having trouble setting the scaling to 250% (200 is too small and 300 is too big). I tried "enabling" fractional scaling by doing: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" This in fact allowed me to set the scaling to 250%, but then, when trying to open ANY program, the window would appear and disappear instantly. I wasn't even able to set the setting back to normal. I just reinstalled the whole system to get Gnome working again on Wayland (Xorg was working still). My questions: 1. Is there another way to enable fractional scaling? (Gnome and Wayland) 2. In terms of performance, setting the display resolution to a smaller value (than my monitor default) is the same as using scaling? 3. Does fractional scaling work better in Xorg? how do you enable this in that case? 4. Does fractional scaling on Wayland affect performance compared to integer scaling? 5. Any other suggestions ?

BDFDoor virus

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/bpfdoor-stealthy-linux-malwa… Any comments? SELinux tag this guy? Do you have to be tricked to installing the daemon? Or can it just come up the wire at you?
