Fedora 33 and HDMI KVM switch
by Paolo Galtieri 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Folks, I'm having an issue running Fedora 33 and an external monitor connected to an HDMI KVM switch. Here is the way it's connected: Laptop thunderbolt 3 connector -> 4 port USB c to USB 3.0 hub -> USB to HDMI adapter -> HDMI KVM switch. The mouse and keyboard work, however Fedora 33 does not detect the external monitor. Even if I take the KVM switch out of the equation Fedora 33 still does not find the external monitor. This laptop also boots to Windows 10 and everything works fine there. I have an older laptop running Fedora 31 connected as follows: laptop HDMI port -> HDMI KVM switch. This works fine. Any help is appreciated. The KVM switch is a 4 port AV Access HDMI 2.0 KVM Switch Paolo

Can't reliably right click with mouse due to click interval... F33 Workstation, Plasma,
by linux guy 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I recently switched from a wireless USB mouse to a wired USB mouse. I cannot reliably right click links in Firefox because the click interval on the mouse isn't set up right. How does one modify the mouse click parameters in Fedora and/or Plasma ? I've looked in System->Settings but can't find anything for click intervals.

Preventing display manager running on gpgpu
by Neal Becker 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

After re-installing f33 following a disk crash, I was having problems that I believe were caused by nouveau trying to run on my gpgpu nvidia 2080 ti. I don't need or want a display manager running on it. How can I tell if wayland and/or X is configured to run on that card, and how can I disable it for that card? I also have a built-in vga that runs a display. Thanks, Neal

I used this tutorial to build the Krita from sources: https://docs.krita.org/en/untranslatable_pages/building_krita.html#preparin….

PDF displays but won't print
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

The PDF file at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OeiRviDzunvZ1kVJjClwYCj6lyUNnCdv/view?usp=… opens correctly using Okular, but will only print as a blank page (whether from Okular or just using 'lpr'). Any thoughts on why this is happening? No errors appear in the journal so I'm assuming it's not because of missing fonts. poc

workstation has become ill
by Neal Becker 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

I've been running F32 on a shiny new amd dual epyc workstation for about 1 year. The system is now remote to me and not convenient to access. About 1 week ago the system became unresponsive. I noticed errors logged about I/O errors, so I guessed it was an issue with the SSD. I went there and replaced the SSD with a shiny new samsung 1tb. Reinstalled F33 and got my vpns going so I could access again from home. But things are acting very strangely. Install was lightning fast. But after a while the machine becomes unusable. Any command takes minutes to react. I am unable to reboot it. sudo reboot after a very long time does nothing. I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/messages (I installed rsyslog). When I can eventually get top to run, I see systemd is in D state. There is plenty of free memory, and the machine has 64GB. I'm going to visit again and this time yank out the nvidia gpu. This is just a wild guess based on 1) it isn't critical for use right now 2) it places a load on the power supply just in case that's the issue 3) it's the only thing I can think to try. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this.

No USB keyboard or mouse on login ? F33 Workstation, USB devices.
by linux guy 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

I just did an update to my F33 Workstation install and now I can log in. I can't move the mouse pointer on the login screen. The keyboard doesn't appear to work either. Both are USB devices. My login manager is GDM. I'm running Plasma as my desktop manager. I don't think I have ssh enabled on that computer. How do I resolve this ?
