WebEx client no longer works on Fedora 36
by Ranjan Maitra 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

Dear friends, Does anyone still have the official Cisco WebEx linux client work with Fedora 36? It used to work fine a month or so ago, but has not worked for me for the last two weeks (at least). Specifically, what happens is that the client opens up all right, but then when I either start or join meeting, the window tries to start and then everything comes crashing down. I am not sure what the problem is, and there are no error messages at all, but I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences and, more importantly, knew how to fix this issue. I am updated to the latest July version of WebEx and F36 (but for emacs, but that is not relevant). Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

32-->36?
by ToddAndMargo 03 Aug '22

Hi All, I have a customer who FINALLY agreed to have me upgrade his Fedora 32 server to 36. Can I jump directly, or do I have to go one or two revisions at a time? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you say, "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at you blankly and say, "Hey, I got those with the system, for free." -- Linus Torvalds ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

Nvidia refresh rate.
by GianPiero Puccioni 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hi, I want to decrease the refrash rate of the video to use less battery but I am having difficulties... I have F35 with KDE on a Dell G15 with Nvidia GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile], the RPMFusion drivers and a 1920x1080 resolution (native). In the "system settings-display" There is the possibility to change refresh from 120Hz to 60Hz but it doesn't stick; I change it and "apply" but if I change screen and go back to "display" it's again at 120Hz, I tried "nvidia-settings" but it has only info, not settings. The program "xrandr" reports 1920x1080 120.00*+ 59.97 59.96 59.93 Is this the problem 59.97 not 60? Any suggestions? G

fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 no longer comes back from hibernate (post Thursday updates)
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Dear friends, I have a fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 that has been updated nightly (and upgraded when appropriate) using dnf on a cron job for the past few years. Sadly, after last Thursday's updates, the machine goes down fine (with the usual systemctl hibernate), but does not come back up. I am a little confused what changed last Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I may diagnose and fix this problem. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Wifi Device Last Used Message From Network Manager - What Does the Message Mean?
by Stephen Morris 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Hi, When I boot into Linux and look at the config for my wifi device and it says the device was "Last used 30 minutes Ago", what exactly does that message mean? Does it mean what is says, or does it mean that was the last time the device was attempted to be activated? I'm asking this because I have had that message on a device that Linux could not use. regards, Steve

Fedora 35 crashes with all updates applied. How do I submit a bug report re. crashing in Gnome but probably Kernel bug.
by Andrew Wood 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Hello, I have Fedora set up with Fedora 35 (workstation edition) using Gnome 41.6. I notice a (annoying!) bug which occurs when I try and cut and paste from one window to another. What seems to happen is that the Gnome session closes and it dumps me into terminal mode. If I type Ctrl-C then Gnome restarts and a new user session is presented. Prior to my most recent update, this bug seemed even worse in its frequency and scope. But still, I am now continuing to potentially losing work (and basic functionality). This might be a Kernel error using shared memory between threads or processes but I really don't know. It's a guess. Anyhow, what do I need to do, to file a bug and what memory or process dumps/logs/stack traces are needed to help the developers. ie what do I type where! Thank-you. Andrew, Oxford(UK)

Issue with split DNS and systemd-resolved
by Peter Boy 30 Jul '22

30 Jul '22

After Upgrading to Fedora 35 split DNS resolution with systemd-resolved doesn't work anymore. My Fedora server managed a libvirt virtual network for internal communicatin between VMs. Systemd doesn't work nicely with libvirt, among others does libvirt manage virtual networks directly and doesn't involve NetworkManager. So I had to adjust systemd-resolved using resolvectl. I guess I miss something but can't find useful information so far. My configuration in detail: My interfaces > - - - - - - - - - - - < $ip a 2: enp0s31f6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 90:1b:0e:fc:ee:d2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 78.46.... inet6 2a01:4f8:.... 15: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 8000 ... inet 192.168.... 17: virbr1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8000 q.... inet 192.168.100..... virbr1 > - - - - - - - - - - - < I configured DNS für each virtual network and if I address the corresponding DNS servers directly ("dig @192.168.122.1 myhost.example.com") the DNS resolution works correctly.

Fedora 36 KDE Wierdness
by Robert McBroom 30 Jul '22

30 Jul '22

Running Fedora 36 with the KDE desktop. Whenever I leave the system it switches to some mode with a blank screen that will only return with ctl-alt-delete after a long wait period. No screensaver is set. The power settings are blank. Checked all the entries I know of to have it run until manually handled. What do I need to set to have the session stay with me?
