Ungoogled Chromium & Youtube - anybody?
by lejeczek 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Hi there. My Ungoogled Chromium stopped playing YT videos, sometimes might play first 19 secs of a clip but mostly does not even start the playback, stuck with loading logo animation - everything else loads, works on YT. I did reset ://flags & settings, also cleared data. Does YT plays in this Chromium for you, all good? thanks, L.

F41 Xfce Mousepad launcher problems
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

When I go to launch a new Mousepad, it gets stuffed in a currently running Mousepad window rather than a new image. Moving said window into the current workspace from where I had it. grumble. Where is the behavior controlled? I tend to have a dozen Mousepads open with some work I am doing noted (like openSSL work). F38 Xfce did it right. F41 is not and I don't see where this is controlled. I tried launching a new Firefox instance and than created a new window rather than a new tab in the then current window. So some apps get this as I want.... thanks

F41 Xfce panel tab labels
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

I am seeing strange, to me, labels on my window tabs in the Xfce panel. Like Firefox is labeled: Org.mozilla.firefox Terminal: Xfce4-terminal Thunderbird new message: Net.thunderbird - But this does get replaced with the subject line like this missive having Wrtie:F41 Xfc... I have looked around at various settings and don't see where this behavior is controlled. Can anyone point me to where I can alter what goes into the panel tabs? Also panel is stacking all related tabs together. I and seeing a bullet with a number and then the name when I have multiple windows of the same app. I have looked in Settings, both Windows Manager and Windows Manager Tweaks and am not finding this control. Thank you for any guidance.

F41 - I forgot to make a swap partition
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Arg. the Install did not default a swap partition so I forgot to work it in when I divided the drive as I wanted... I am using EXT4 for my / /boot /home partitions. Just plain partitioning. Been doing it this way for lots of builds. But this time, I missed setting aside 16Gb as a physical swap partition, added to the memory swap. This system only has 16Gb memory, so the virtual swap starts out at 8Gb. Since /dev/sdb4, /home is the last 800Gb with 500Gb unused, is there any way to safely shrink this partition 16Gb and then allocate that as swap? thanks

default kernel NOT the latest one installed ?
by lejeczek 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Hi guys. Some while I go my Fedora lost, dropped it's way to set newly installed kernel to be the default one. Whatever I set manually to be default, remains default regardless of new kernels installed later - which was not the case, should not be the case, right? How to "fix" it back to "normal" ? I fiddle with some GRUB settings & info I found on the net - but to no avail - one reservation, a caveat perhaps, I have kernel-debug installed & I wonder if that "messes" things up. many thanks, L.

redirect remote rsyslog messages to journal
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

I have a server (e7) and a remote machine (xilinx). Remote log messages are sent to port 514 and accepted by the server. I can see them in the relevant log files (messages, cron etc.) in /etc/rsyslog.conf I have module(load="imudp") input(type="imudp" port="514") module(load="imtcp") input(type="imtcp" port="514") So the remote messages are processed same as the local ones. syslog shows: Feb 22 10:38:10 xilinx systemd[1]: Starting Stop ureadahead data collection... Feb 22 10:38:10 xilinx systemd[1]: Started Stop ureadahead data collection. However I do not see the remote messages in the journal (or maybe I am not using the correct journalctl command?). I tried using the following, hoping it will output to the journal: module(load="omjournal") ruleset(name="remote") { action(type="omjournal") } input(type="imtcp" port="514" ruleset="remote") and I could now see the messages in the journal BUT they do not include the correct source hostname: 2025-02-22T10:39:57+11:00 e7.eyal.emu.id.au systemd[1]:[2445734]: Starting Update APT News... I want 2025-02-22T10:39:57+11:00 xilinx systemd[1]: Starting Update APT News... 'e7.eyal.emu.id.au [2445734]' is the hostname and pid of the rsyslogd service on the SERVER. In /var/log/syslog I see these message: Without ruleset (correct hostname service[pid[): Feb 22 10:38:10 xilinx systemd[1]: Starting Stop ureadahead data collection... Feb 22 10:38:10 xilinx systemd[1]: Started Stop ureadahead data collection. With ruleset (incorrect hostname): Feb 22 10:39:57 e7 systemd[1]:[2445734]: Starting Update APT News... Same line on xilinx syslog is Feb 22 10:39:57 xilinx systemd[1]: Starting Update APT News... I want both the syslog and the journal to at least identify the source hostname correctly, in syslog and in the journal. TIA -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

F41 - df command showing lots of tmpfs
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

I use df command to see where I am on disk utilization. Well this time it won't be much of an issue, as I got a 1TB SSD for the same price I last got a 500GB. but anyway. Some 10 tmpfs mounts in /run/credentials that I really don't want to be bothered seeing. I am trying to figure out how to use the exclude type option, but I have not figured it out, nor is google giving me guidance.... thanks

installing F41 - qemu?
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

I am finally upgrading from my F38 system. I do a clean install on another system, then migrate my user account. So I am moving along OK with the install and am now up to my use of qemu and virt-manager: dnf groupinstall "virtualization" dnf install qemu virt-manager libvirt Well first it is now dnf5-group, it seems. OK. But "virtualization" is not in the list of groups. Just install these packages? Or what else is needed? On past updates, I just copy my old images to the new system and get them running.. thanks
