systemd-resolved switching DNS servers
by Tom Seewald
After upgrading to F33 I've noticed that sometimes my current DNS server switches to 1.1.1.1 instead of my local DNS (192.168.1.1). This has happened both immediately after system boot, and once after several hours of use. For my connection in Network Manager, under IPv4, I have "192.168.1.1, 1.1.1.1" in "Other DNS Servers". My understanding is that this should cause the system to prefer 192.168.1.1, and historically it has always consistently used 192.168.1.1 until the upgrade to F33. At first glace I don't see any relevant messages in the system journal that indicate why it is falling back to 1.1.1.1. The output of "resolvectl status" shows that 192.168.1.1 is listed above 1.1.1.1 both when it is correctly using local dns and when it is spuriously switching to 1.1.1.1.
My current workaround is to restart the resolved service, which causes it to switch back to the correct DNS server, however this is clearly not ideal.
Any ideas for fixing or troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

Add repo?
by Beartooth
I've just discovered that dnf on one of my machines (a Thinkpad,
but I've forgotten where it keeps its model number) is lacking rpmfusion;
and I can't seem to figure out how to add it. How do I do it?

boxes keyboard locking to VM
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
Virtualbox doesn't seem to run anymore (or not without spending too much
time troubleshooting). I've started a VM in GNOME Boxes but selected not
to get the keyboard/mouse locked at one point. Now using the VM with the
mouse is hell as the mouse seems to leave the screen before it reaches
its sides.
I've been looking at how to lock it back again but didn't find anything.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you.

by Bob Goodwin
I have a new Fedora 32 and it will not allow user 'bobg' to enable sshd,
I believe this is a feature to protect the system from me. How do i fix
it so I can do the things I want to do?

Question on firefox script and zombie??
by Michael D. Setzer II
Notice that when running firefox I was seeing a zombie program running
that is linked to restorecon??
Looked at script and found this line in it.
restorecon -vr ~/.mozilla/firefox/* &
It does clear once firefox is closed, but nothing would clear it while
running.
I changed the line to
restorecon -vr ~/.mozilla/firefox/* #&
And no longer get the zombie?
Takes almost no time to run the command, so not sure what the purpose
of have the & on the line is?

lp card not found
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora32 x64
I just installed a
https://lavaports.com/serial-parallel-cards/products-pcie-bus-io-cards/pa...
CUPS tells me the priner is not attqched.
I did a
# modprobe -r lp
# modprobe -r parport_pc
# modprobe parport_pc io=0x378,0xee00 irq=7,11
# modprobe lp
Cups shows the printer idle
Now jobs disappears as if it if printing,
but the printer shows nothing.
I am not sure that this card is being
seen as /dev/lp0. How do I
check that.
And how do I check which lp my printer is attached to?
Many thanks,

installing wine on F33 wants to downgrade packages
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
hello,
I am looking to install wine on my new Fedora 33 laptop. When doing 'dnf
install wine' I am getting:
A bunch of i686 packages that will be installed (I think this is
normal), and a bunch of installed x86_64 packages to be downgraded (I
believe to the version corresponding to the available i686 package).
1. How does multiarch work in Fedora? Do I need to do anything else
besides just installing the wine package to get it to work?
2. Why is it downgrading my packages? Will this create dependency issues
(I have had bad experiences with this type of thing in Debian)? Can
downgrading these packages have any other drawbacks?
Can someone direct me to a good way to install a regular version of wine
in F33? I have tried looking for info but have not found a lot.
thank you very much,
Anil

wine fonts folder
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
hello,
I have installed wine, which by default installs a bunch of fonts
packages along with it.
However, when using a particular piece of software I am not seeing any
fonts available for use. This is not the first time this happens to me
using wine. I remember once having to place all fonts packages in the
.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder to gain access to them.
What are supposed to be the default font folders that wine is using? How
can I check this? Why is not grabbing the fonts from whatever fonts they
are in now?
If the package manager is installing (wine) fonts packages, shouldn't
they become automatically available in wine software?
In case I have to manually move fonts to a particular folder, which
would be the default fonts that one would have available in a wine
installation (which are the default fonts than one wants in wine)?
thank you very much,
Anil

Re: Install Fedora -
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
After doing the “dd” to the raw device, do not do a “sync”, as this is for synchronizing filesystems. Just remove the device.
In case something tried to mount the content of the device (before it was wiped by dd) it might try to write back data to the device and by that action corrupting the freshly written image.

Well 'dd' worked without a problem to clear the PNY 64GB drive I that
was at hand and I put Fedora 33 beta on it:
[root@WS-1 /]# dd
if=/home/bobg/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33_Beta-1.3.iso
of=/dev/sdc bs=8M status=progress
2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126 s, 16.1 MB/s
241+1 records in
241+1 records out
2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126.227 s, 16.1 MB/s
[root@WS-1 /]# sync
Put the flash drive in the other computer to test, the nedia chck worked
and it started and asked if it should install to disk. That worked
simply enough once I understood the instructions. I will try it on this
box where I want to install to /dev/sdb.
My only concern is getting the standard partition scheme, I may need
media writer for that.
