capture system audio?
by Tom Horsley 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

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 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

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. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Weird graphics errors with recent kernels
by Patrick O'Callaghan 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

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: Feb 19 16:33:16 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:cbd2d2d2, in chrome [8728] Feb 19 16:33:16 Bree kernel: GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace. Feb 19 16:33:16 Bree kernel: The GPU crash dump is required to analyze GPU hangs, so please always attach it. Feb 19 16:33:16 Bree kernel: GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error Feb 19 16:33:16 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] chrome[8728] context reset due to GPU hang Feb 19 16:33:22 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85ffbff8, in chrome [9071] Feb 19 16:33:22 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] chrome[9071] context reset due to GPU hang Feb 19 16:33:59 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:7f7f7f7f, in chrome [9160] Feb 19 16:33:59 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] chrome[9160] context reset due to GPU hang Feb 19 23:43:39 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffffc, in Xorg [1182] Feb 19 23:43:39 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Xorg[1182] context reset due to GPU hang Feb 20 11:23:50 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffff8, in plasmashell [17364] Feb 20 11:23:50 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] plasmashell[17364] context reset due to GPU hang Feb 20 11:23:53 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffdfc, in plasmashell [17364] Feb 20 11:23:53 Bree kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] plasmashell[17364] context reset due to GPU hang 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? poc

Strange Artifacts on the Panel
by Jonathan Ryshpan 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

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 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

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? Temlakos

Plasma on Xorg Fails to Start After Last System Update
by Stephen Morris 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

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 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

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...
