Command line for adding mp3 meta data
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Mar '23

19 Mar '23

I just purchased an audio download of 36 tracks. No meta data, and my wife's flip phone needs meta data for sorting and such. It is one thing to use VLC to fix the meta data on a single mp3 or 2 before transfering to her phone, but 36 is just a road too far. So is there a decent program with Fedora that will let me easily set the meta data on these? thanks

Fedora 37 - Cockpit Software Update Display Questions
by Tom Rivers 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Good morning, There are two things that I have noticed lately when performing upgrades using cockpit: 1) When viewing the update log in real time, the display no longer automatically scrolls to show new entries. 2) The "Verifying" line of text above the progress indicator seems to be missing information and instead displays "undefined" (see attached image) Is this by design?

Lenovo E14 g2 (AMD) - Unable to suspend
by lejeczek 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hi guys. Sometimes - way way too often - I cannot suspend my Fedora. Whether with power button or GUI or command line, system would not go to sleep. I have an external Dell p2418d always connected but whether that monitor is connected or not, seems to make no difference when it happens, when it won't suspend and it does not happen always. Sometimes, usually not long after a reboot, system does suspend OK. When Fedora fails to suspend - screens, both or built-in alone if external is disconnected, go blank, but it's obvious right away that suspend failed for power-on LED remains full-on, as oppose to dim-in-out which is the confirmation that system is suspended... so, only screens/monitors went blank but a few seconds later screens come back on with the "regular" lock screen. This had been the problem since I can remember - certainly with kernel 6.0.x through to 6.2.x which I'm trying now. I think I'll file Bugzilla, but am hoping that other Fedorians here can comment, if can/do observe similar misbehavior. many thanks, L.

memtest86+ seems to do nothing.
by home user 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Good morning, When booting up, I select the grub menu entry "Fedora Memtest memtest86+-5.31". The screen blanks, the cursor goes to the upper left corner of the display, and blinks. That's it. I waited about 10 minutes. Cursor still blinking in the same place. Nothing else ever showed up. I rebooted. How do I get memtest86+ working properly? Bill.

/etc/hosts question
by ToddAndMargo 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hi All, Fedora 37 bind-9.18.12-1.fc37.x86_64 I am running a caching DNS server on my computer. I have the /etc/named.conf set to # the following forwarders is Family Friendly Open # DNS (no porn sites): forwarders { 208.67.222.123; 208.67.220.123; }; Problem. Open DNS is specifically blocking tor.bravesoftware.com, screwing up my Brave Browser Private Windows with TOR. The workaround is to temporarily switch to google as my forwarder, and let Brave Browser download the required Tor daemon, then switch back. So, next time I need a new daemon, I thought of just hard coding tor.bravesoftware.com into /etc/hosts, but I do not have such a critter in my system Q1. that on purpose? Did Fedroa drop /etc/hosts? Q2. If I created my own hosts, would it be read first or after named? Q3. Is there a way to hard code tor.bravesoftware.com into named? Many thanks, -T

openvpn3 on F37
by Greg Woods 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

First let me say that I am aware that openvpn3 is not an official Fedora package; one must obtain it from a COPR repo. Therefore I could not file a bug against it in Fedora and in fact I don't know how I COULD file an official bug report, so I am just hoping that someone here has it working and could help. I have had openvpn3 working since F35, including on a laptop that I originally installed openvpn3 on and it has been upgraded to F36 and now F37, and openvpn3 is working fine. However, on my new laptop with a fresh install of F37, I cannot get openvpn3 to work. The config manager seems to be OK, but the session manager is totally broken. First I import my config, and then: [greg@ivanova ~]$ openvpn3 config-import --config /local/etc/OVPN.ovpn Configuration imported. Configuration path: /net/openvpn/v3/configuration/f75863b0x38dcx4ea5xa36ex35936d9cc4df [greg@ivanova ~]$ openvpn3 configs-list Configuration path Imported Last used Used Name Owner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /net/openvpn/v3/configuration/f75863b0x38dcx4ea5xa36ex35936d9cc4df Wed Mar 15 10:10:42 2023 0 /local/etc/OVPN.ovpn greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [greg@ivanova ~]$ openvpn3 session-start --config-path !$ openvpn3 session-start --config-path /net/openvpn/v3/configuration/f75863b0x38dcx4ea5xa36ex35936d9cc4df ** ERROR ** Could not establish a connection with 'net.openvpn.v3.sessions' [greg@ivanova ~]$ openvpn3 sessions-list ** ERROR ** Could not establish a connection with 'net.openvpn.v3.sessions' [greg@ivanova ~]$ Any of the session commands result in the same error, after a noticeable delay. Anybody else seen this or have openvpn3 working on a fresh install of F37? Thanks, --Greg

[Test Day] Fedora 38 DNF 5 2023-03-14
by Sumantro Mukherjee 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Hey Folks, Since the brand new dnf5 package[0] has landed in F38, the Fedora QA and DNF teams are organizing a test day to get some initial feedback on it. We will be testing DNF 5 to iron out any rough edges. We will be testing microdnf's all basic functionality from a user perspective and will also be trying out regular DNF options and commands that might be used as part of day to day operations and scripts! Should you have any questions, the wiki[1] has all the necessary places to report bugs, communicate with us and submit reports[2] [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MajorUpgradeOfMicrodnf [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2023-03-14_Fedora_38_DNF_5 [2] https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/events/152 Thanks for testing! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED
