OT: videos in Quora
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

Apologies in advance for this off-topic question. I'm a frequent user of the Quota question and answer site (https://quora.com) and for a long time have noticed a problem when trying to play embedded videos, to wit: they simply don't play but just show a blank space. This happens with Firefox, Chrome and Chromium on Fedora, and even with the Quora app on Android (15). I've reported it as a bug to Quora, but there are multiple similar reports dating back years and I've little confidence of a fix. Can anyone suggest a workaround? poc

If one is upgraded from a prior release that already had libvirtd.service started on boot, it probably still does so you don’t need to start it every boot. In F41 (maybe 40, my memory is foggy with holiday cheer), libvirtd was changed to use socket activation, so it *should* start if the libvirtd.socket is enabled and activated. But I believe there’s service can be started/enabled as well, which is what I do since I have some VMs that start on boot. -- Jonathan Billings

Have two installations of f41 setup to run virtual machines. On one, all that is required to get started is to execute "virt-manager" in a terminal with privilege. On the other, I have to use "systemctl start libvirtd" first or "virt-manager" doesn't find any of the installed machines. Nothing has been changed in "/etc/libvirt" configuration files. What needs to be set to get the virtual machines to initialize on the second installation?
