capture system audio?
by Tom Horsley
I'm playing a video in firefox and want to capture the audio.
There are a maze of web pages about audio capture, all different.
None of the ones I've tried work. They all give the impression they
are capturing audio, but the resulting audio files are nothing
but silence.
Has anyone successfully captured audio from firefox on fedora 33?

midco DNS corruption?
by Michael Hennebry
Whenever I mistype a URL,
it gets turned into food for Midcontinent's search engine.
What is really annoying is that the back
button does not take me back to what I typed.
Also, the search results rarely includes the site I wanted.
My suspicion is that this is done at least partly through DNS corruption.
Anyone know for sure?
I'm running F33 connected directly to Midco's modem/router.
Assuming DNS corruption is at least part of the issue,
how, if at all, do I bypass Midco's DNS?
The problem seems not unique to Midco or F33:
My girlfriend has the same problem with CenturyLink and Ubuntu.
They send her to yahoo.

Bluetooth keeps disconnecting - Fedora 33
by S Bob
All;
I have a shiny new Fedora 33 install on my new LG Gram 17
I'm having an issue where every 10 min or so my bluetooth music player
disconnects, then reconnects and starts playing again.
Any advice on how to debug / fix?
Thanks in advance

Weird graphics errors with recent kernels
by Patrick O'Callaghan
The last 2 or 3 kernel updates seem to have triggered a regression in
the i915 (internal Intel GPU) driver. I get damaged screen updates,
very noticeable tearing on videos and occasional freezes in the DE
(Plasma under X11). A look at the journal shows:

Unfortunately I'd rebooted before looking at the journal, so
/sys/class/drm/card0/error is currently empty. I'll capture it next
time around, but it the meantime has anyone else seen this?

Strange Artifacts on the Panel
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I've been seeing strange things on my panel for about a week or two.
They are triangles or lines extending horizontally from a region of
some color, narrowing to a point. They last generally for up to about
30 seconds. Attached is a picture of such an artifact
(PanelArtifact.jpg), taken with my cell phone. Note the black stripe
just above "System Information". Has anyone seen anything like this
System: Fedora-32 all updates installed
Processor: 4 x Intel i5 4460 CPU at 3.2 GHz
Memory: 15.5 GiB RAM
Video System: Xorg (not Wayland)
Graphics: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 4600
KDE Plasma: 5.20.5
KDE Framework: 5.78.0

libatomic1 library - finding a safe package for
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Several days ago, Skype pushed an update for Linux that I cannot
install. I cannot install it because it requires a new version of the
GNU Atomic Library called libatomic1. Not "libatomic," which is what
Fedora uses, but "libatomic1" (note the placement of that digit "1") for
which Fedora seems to have no builds.
I have found builds for several RPM-based distros, including Alt-Linux
Sisyphus, OpenMandriva, and OpenSUSE.
Question: may anyone safely install any of these packages into a Fedora
system?

can't find wireless
by Paolo Galtieri
I have a Dell XPS 15 9500 laptop. I've already listed other issues with
this laptop running Fedora 33. Here's a new one :(
lspic -k shows the following:
0:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH CNVi WiFi
Subsystem: Rivet Networks Device 1651
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
lsmod shows the following:
lsmod | grep iwl
iwlwifi 344064 0
cfg80211 954368 1 iwlwifi
So the appropriate wireless driver is loaded, however ifconfig shows the
following devices:

So what do I need to do to get wireless working on this laptop under Fedora?

Plasma on Xorg Fails to Start After Last System Update
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Three days ago I did a dnf system upgrade to apply all available
Fedora updates. I have now tried to start Plasma under Xorg, but it now
refuses to start with a crash in ksplashqml, and if I press
ctrl-alt-delete to try to logout the ksmserver-greeter also crashes.
Plasma under Wayland runs quite happily albeit without resolution
scaling. Gnome under Wayland runs fine without scaling and Gnome under
Xorg also runs fine. How do I determine why the apps are failing with
Plasma under Xorg now?
regards,
Steve

Fedora 32 / 33 on an LG Gram?
by S Bob
All;
Has anyone installed Fedora on an LG Gram? I bought one a few years back
and ended up returning it due to issues... Maybe these laptops are
better supported now?
Thanks in advance for any advice...
