virt-manager vm cannot resize to window and VPN issue
by Sbob 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Hi all; I installed the following today : qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install bridge-utils virt-manager libvirt-devel virt-top libguestfs-tools guestfs-tools I followed this guide to install virt-manager and a bridged network. I used virt-v2v to convert a VMware image : # virt-v2v -i vmx /data/vmware/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.vmx -o local -of qcow2 -os /data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet Then I edited the resulting xml file (/data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.xml) and I commented out the network interface (the VMware one):      Next I added the new vm to virt-manager: # virsh define /data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.xml It worked, I started the vm from virt-manager, logged in and used virt-manager to create a new interface. Now I have 2 issues: 1) I cannot get it to resize the VM with the window, the *View -> Scale Display -> Auto Resize VM with Window *option is greyed out 2) the VMware vm was setup with a PPTP based VPN, but in the converted kvm / virt-mananger vm the vpn will not connect, it simply says an error occurred. Thanks in advance

System is locking up a lot
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Since updates Saturday night I have been having hard lock ups. It looks like Firefox is the trigger. Lenovo X140e notebook F35 current with all updates as of Saturday night. Xfce desktop It was really bad at first. I finally managed to kill Firefox auto load pages by in a non-graphics session, watching what top was reporting going on in the graphics session and killing Firefox. Then starting Firefox and closing all my windows as they open. Finally got it to start up with nothing to open. That was this morning. Things seemed to be working OK until now when I got to my Hilton hotel for the night and going through their miserable portal that FIrefox would not accept their cert, and then it locked again. Just booted. Updated again and only got added: Upgraded: alsa-sof-firmware-2.1.1-1.fc35.noarch mariadb-connector-c-3.2.7-1.fc35.x86_64 mariadb-connector-c-config-3.2.7-1.fc35.noarch pipewire-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-alsa-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-libs-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-utils-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 Skipped: python3-reportlab-3.6.10-1.fc35.x86_64 I can't tell where, in /var/log/messages the system locked and then I rebooted. I did not note the times closely. Anyone hear anything like this? So far can't find anything in bugs.

scale or change monitor resolution on high dpi
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Hello, I have a laptop with a high dpi monitor, 4k on a 15" screen. 'Im on F36, Gnome. I'm wondering whats the better alternative, change the resolution of the display or use scaling? (performance and usability) Is there any update on fractional scaling? It didn't work last time I tried it (just really weird behavior, on Wayland at least). thanks, Anil F

Caja File manager hotkey idiosyncracy
by Max Pyziur 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Greetings, When using the Caja file manager in xFce, if I shut it down using ctrl-W, I can restart it later. However, if I shut it down using ctrl-SpaceBar, then (C)lose, I can't restart it. Is this prevented by some "lock" file somewhere? Or something else? Thank you, Max pyz(a)brama.com

tweak/startup application
by Patrick Dupre 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hello, Before fc36, I could have the application gnome-terminal starting automatically at login. Now, this application is still visible in the list of Startup Applications, but it does not work. If I try to add a new application with tweak (at startup), terminal, or gnome-terminal, does not show up (even by using search tool) while /usr/bin/gnome-terminal can be run manually. What is going on?

gnuplot changed in 5.2->5.4 update
by Eyal Lebedinsky 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

A new gnuplot version was installed recently. Originally I had 2021-05-17T14:31:30+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-wx-5.2.8-7.fc34.x86_64 I recently upgraded fedora 34->36 and received this update 2022-06-09T18:04:52+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-common-5.4.3-3.fc36.x86_64 Since then, a simple plot with tics/labels on the left (y axis) are not anymore mirrored on the right (y2). It used to always do this by default, and it makes sense when reading values on the right. I tried to play with the 'mirror' option to no avail. Anyone knows how to restore the old behavior? -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)
