Fedora F41 Hard Disk Performance
by Stephen Morris 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hi, To test my hard disk performance I have run Kdiskmark and used the Real World Performance Profile. For its sequential read performance it is showing around 156 MB/s on my ST3000DM007-1WY1 (3TB Seagate Barracuda), which given that device support 1/3/6 Gb/s I/O speeds and the device is plugged into a 6Mb/s Sata port on the motherboard, is very poor performance. Doing some research on disk performance I found a reference to bad disk performance be attributable to BTRFS and that the disk should be formatted as EXT4, is this sentiment reasonable and if so why is Fedora pushing the use of BTRFS. regards, Steve

Hello, I wish to compile this package https://github.com/emsr/quadrature But there is no instruction I guess that it is more or less standard. Do I need to run a configure ?

Webcam with LVFS ?
by lejeczek 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Hi guys. I think I read on Phoronix about Poly Studio webcams being supported by LVFS but searching through there I failed to find any specific which would confirm that. Does anybody here use Poly Studio P5 - or any webcam for that matter - which can confirm is LVFS-supported? btw. https://fwupd.org/ - although they/maintainers naturally do good job already I wished, that catalog of hardware was organized to be looked up by type/category of hardware - perhaps it is but I miss it? many thanks, L.

What is the current default file system in Fedora (40 and 41)? What is the current default file system in Red Hat Enterprise?

Codecs for DJI O3 air unit
by Frederic Muller 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Hi! I'm trying to pay my recorded videos from the DJI O3 Air unit (4k/60fps) and mplayer tells me meta/x-gst-fourcc-dbgi decoder, meta/x-gst-fourcc-djmd decoder are required to play the file. Unfortunately I can't find them. VLC plays the file ok. Any idea where I can find them? Web search didn't help me so far. I did the |sudo dnf install libavcodec-freeworld --allowerasing sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing sudo dnf update @multimedia --setopt="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin sudo dnf update @sound-and-video| |sudo dnf install intel-media-driver which fix gyroflow not exporting yesterday. Only libavcodec-freeworld had something installing. Let me know if you need more info, or if you know how to get those codecs. Thank you. Fred |

Unable to Access Samba Shared Folder from Windows 10 Guest in virt-manager/QEMU Setup
by Paul Smith 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Dear Fedora Users, I’m encountering an issue where I cannot access a Samba shared folder from a Windows 10 guest running on a host configured with virt-manager + QEMU/KVM. Here are the details of the situation: --> Host Configuration and Status The Samba shared folder is accessible from the host itself: $ smbclient //192.168.122.1/intercambio -U x Password for [SAMBA\x]: Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> ls . D 0 Mon May 31 22:30:19 2021 .. D 0 Mon May 31 22:30:19 2021 This confirms that Samba is running and the share is functional locally. SELinux is set to permissive mode using: sudo setenforce 0 However, the problem persists. The host firewall has the Samba service and port 445 explicitly allowed: sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba --permanent sudo firewall-cmd --reload --> Guest Configuration and Symptoms The guest Windows 10 machine can successfully ping the host: ping 192.168.122.1 However, attempts to connect to the shared folder fail. For example: Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.122.1 -Port 445 Output: WARNING: TCP connect to (192.168.122.1 : 445) failed ComputerName : 192.168.122.1 RemoteAddress : 192.168.122.1 RemotePort : 445 InterfaceAlias : Ethernet Instance 0 SourceAddress : 192.168.122.155 PingSucceeded : True PingReplyDetails (RTT) : 0 ms TcpTestSucceeded : False Disabling the Windows Firewall on the guest did not resolve the issue. --> What I've Tried So Far Verified Samba functionality locally on the host (smbclient works). Set SELinux to permissive mode (setenforce 0). Ensured the host’s firewall allows Samba traffic. Tested guest-host connectivity (successful ping but failed Test-NetConnection to port 445). --> Additional Information Host: Fedora Guest: Windows 10 Virtualization: virt-manager + QEMU/KVM Virtual network: NAT (default virbr0, host IP 192.168.122.1) --> Request for Assistance What could be causing the failure to access the Samba shared folder from the Windows guest? Are there specific configurations or troubleshooting steps I should try in this setup? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Paul
