Relating to Rawhide
by David
If you are not interested in Rawhide basics, please hit
the delete button now. This post is aimed at people
who may not know what Rawhide really is, or how it
gets updated, etc.
The link below is a Dropbox link, showing a list of
packages installed on my computer.
https://paper.dropbox.com/published/Status-of-my-Rawhide-Workstation-inst...
My Rawhide computer has been performing nominally, ( without hiccups )
since I installed the unofficial iso.
This list shows that some of the packages come from Anaconda. I assume,
( feel free to correct
me ), that those packages have not changed, since I did the install.
Right ??
Also note there are two different suffixes in the filenames "fc32," and
"fc33." Obviously, fc33 are the packages that have
been updated and re-labeled to show they are going to be in the upcoming
Version 33 of Fedora. What those suffixes actually
do in the server, meaning as to what repo they are in, I will let someone
else explain all that. I assume those packages with fc32 suffix are
identical to what you have if you are using fc32 Workstation. For
example, the package "bash" is apparently fc32.
As you can see, most of the important packages are updated in someway and
have the fc33 suffix. Meaning lots of hardwork has
been done by people. Thank you to those volunteers, etc.
Note that there is one package "fc31," that being "trousers."
As you can see, the kernel is the latest rc7 available. Since 5.7.0
will go stable in a few days, I assume that the next kernel I
get will be 5.8.0.rc0.git### or something like that, or at least that will
be the kernel on my install, in about two weeks. Feel free to correct
me.
Unfortunately, I have had little access to my computer in the past month,
due to not having a stable place to reside, and that will
likely be the case for me this summer.
I am looking forward to reading about how Fedora performs on the upcoming
Raspberry Pi 4, with 8 GB of RAM.
Another sad note, is that due to my financial situation, I had to downgrade
to a less expensive phone service provider, and in doing
so I ended up with a refurbished iPhone. I have never used an iPhone
before, and now I am doing most of my internet needs on
the iPhone. Actually, I am just using the hotspot on it, and still
doing most of my stuff on my old Android Alcatel 3V.
Cheers,

P.S. I would like to give a shout out to my buddy, Flannigan. In all
my 25 plus years of using the internet, he is the
first person I have bumped into on the internet, that we knew from other
hobbies, other than Linux. I will let him explain that
if he wants.

video in Firefox not streaming
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
hello,
I am sorry to ask this here but am wondering why the last couple of
times I have installed Fedora 32 workstation, video playback in Firefox
is not working out of the box for some sites. So I can play videos on
youtube, but for example, trying to play a video in cnn.com ("something
went wrong during native playback") does not work, or playing some video
from Twitter("media could not be played") does not work either.
Am I missing the Flash Player? What am I missing here?
thank you,

NFS4: CentOS 7 client with a Fedora 32 server
by Braden McDaniel
I'd like to support a CentOS 7 client from a Fedora 32 NFS4 server.
Other Fedora 32 clients can mount the volume just fine using:
$ mount -t nfs4 my-server:/my-export-root/foo /foo
But when I try this from a CentOS 7 client, I get:
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted
Is there any bit of configuration I can do on the client and/or server
to make this work, short of allowing fallback to pre-4 NFS versions?

Where are the microcode updates for Crosstalk in F32 ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
Well guys, its time to panic once again.
I just found out my system is vulnerable to the new Crosstalk
vulnerability by running the popular Meltdown OVH script.
More about the vulnerability over here:
https://www.vusec.net/projects/crosstalk/
These exploits get worse each time, this one affects all cores.
This is how I tested for the vulnerability.
Downloaded spectre-meltdown-checker.sh via :
wget https://meltdown.ovh -O spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
and then just executed with sudo.
This is the output I got:
* SRBDS mitigation control is enabled and active: NO
> STATUS: VULNERABLE (Your CPU microcode may need to be updated to mitigate the vulnerability)
CVE-2020-0543:KO
Full output here:
https://pastebin.com/raw/hyfFBbaF
As you can see the tool specifies that my microcode is not the latest.
That being said, where do I find the latest microcode from ?
My OS is fully updated, and the firmware and microcode is also latest
according to DNF:
$ sudo dnf update linux-firmware
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
$ sudo dnf update microcode_ctl
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
So where is the microcode update in Fedora for this ??
Canonical has already published microcode updates for this, as shown here:
https://youtu.be/UR-5vAZ1cGg?t=1160
<rant>
It kind of seems frustrating that a bleeding edge distro like Fedora still hasn't
provided updates yet. While Ubuntu a distro that doesn't always use the latest
software already has a fix.
</rant>
What can I do now ? What is progress for Fedora ?
Will the microcode from Canonical work for Fedora ? Dumb question I know but I
am desperate.
Let me know if any further info is required.
Some more info about my CPU:
https://pastebin.com/raw/TNJS930F
What is everyone else in the community doing about this ?
Thanks.

gnome control center wifi madness
by Tom Horsley
If I bring up the gnome control center wifi page, it
always says "no adapter detected".
If I turn on wifi, it shows me a list of SSIDs to connect
to, and I can connect.
If there is no adapter detected, what am I talking to? :-).

Steam erroneously marked as "Installed" in Gnome Software
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
I have NEVER installed Steam via Gnome Software on my notebook, in fact
I never installed it ever, but on Gnome Software it is marked as
"Installed".
Any way I can remove it from there ? That is mark it as "not installed" ?
When I click on "Remove" it says "no packages to remove" but it has
"Launch" and "Remove" options enabled. "Launch", does nothing.
Are there any command-line/debugging/troubleshooting options that I
should know about for Gnome Software Centre ? Seems like I haven't seen
the last of such annoying bugs.
Thanks.

DNF, Rpmfusion -

I guess this means
rpmfusion is running behind, or does it imply something else? I update
first thing each morning and such an explanation seems unusual:
