bash: ./WINPM-32.EXE: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
by Michael D. Setzer II 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Use to be able to run command without added wine to front?? With Fedora 35 up to 7.10 worked fine, but 7.12 verion would cuase a spinning icon when opening email message. No error or anything showing in top or ps -ef. Did a dnf downgrade wine, and it downgraded to 6.16 version and problem went away, but all attempt to get back to 7.10 would only show upgrading to 7.12.. Then tried installing winehq-devel from their Fedora 35 repo. It installs 7.13 and it doesn't have the issue with spinning icon, but it has two minor differences. 1. Running programs from command line without wine doesn't work. Must put wine in front? Assume Fedora version must add something to wine installation that allows this. Haven't found anything to see how this is done. Have the default app set to use wine, but doesn't work from command line. 2. Other issue is that scroll bar doesn't work?? Scroll wheel on mouse works fine, but clicking on bar arrows does nothing, and dragging bar does nothing as well. With the Fedora 7.12 version the scroll bar does work? Posted on WINEHQ forums, but no response yet on issues. Think running at bash would be something that Fedora added?? Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Are there typical ways Fedora tends to break? part 2
by Chris Murphy 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

OK thanks for the responses so far. I have followup questions for everyone, even if you didn't previously respond. Do you think a graphical rescue environment would be helpful in troubleshooting system problems? Do you think a graphical rescue environment using volatile storage, would be useful? i.e. similar to a Live boot, by default no changes to the system or Live user environment would be written to persistent media; e.g. Firefox cache files and history, or even installing software, would be entirely lost on reboot from this graphical rescue environment Do you think a mechanism for system snapshots and rollbacks would be useful in troubleshooting system problems? Do you think a snapshot+rollback mechanism would be more or less useful than a graphical rescue environment, for troubleshooting system problems? Thanks! -- Chris Murphy

rescue kernel

Hello, In the past I could regenerate a rescue kernel by using /etc/kernel/postinst.d/51-dracut-rescue-postinst.sh But now, this script does not exist any more What is the alternative to restore the /boot/*rescue* files?

Monitor speakers change which "device" they are
by Chris Adams 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

I have a notebook (AMD chips) connected to a hub (via USB-C), with two monitors hooked up to the hub (via HDMI). The monitors have built-in speakers, and I use one monitor's speakers for default audio. I'm running Fedora 35 MATE desktop (with Pipewire). The problem is that which monitor's speakers are which flips around. Right now, the main monitor is "Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output" and the second monitor is "<same> 4 Output". After a suspend/resume cycle though, they randomly swap, so I have to go into Sound Preferences and change the default output device. The video side always keeps the correct monitor mapped as the correct part of the display layout, so it seems either there's a unique ID or something that keeps them in the right order. Is there something similar to keep it right for audio? -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>
