sound device changed on me?
by Tom Horsley 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

I was changing some udev rules last night and ran "udevadm trigger" (which I found on the internet to avoid a reboot). This morning trying to watch a video, I had no sound. For some reason my sound output had been set to SPDIF rather than the HDMI I always had it set to. Was that a "trigger" side effect, or is something more mysterious going on (I haven't installed any updates or rebooted).

are there typical ways Fedora tends to break?
by Chris Murphy 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hi, I have a request for list regulars. The Fedora Workstation working group is curious if there's any pattern or categorization how Fedora installations typically break. i.e. the installation is successful, the system has been updated multiple times successfully, and then for whatever reason it breaks. Are most failures hardware related? This could be broken down into hard failure (drive or logic board failed) and soft failure (some hardware configuration change and reverting the change resolves the problem). What portion of the failures are early boot failures? (Defined as bootloader, kernel, or early initramfs failures. But excludes being landed at a dracut prompt.) What portion of the failures land the user at a dracut shell? What portion of the failures does the user get to a graphical shell but can't login? What portion of the failures can the user login but there's some sort of anomalous behavior? What portion of all failures are fixable without reinstalling? Is the GRUB "rescue" menu entry ever useful in resolving problems? Could everyone reading this try booting the "rescue" menu entry and describe what happens? How does the actual behavior compare to what you thought would happen? The questions list is not complete, feel free to add your own categorizations / failure patterns that you tend to see. Thanks! -- Chris Murphy

Wifi not Started at Boot and Networkmanager Wifi Last Used Stats Wrong
by Stephen Morris 24 Jul '22

24 Jul '22

Hi, I booted into Fedora this morning and had no network available because wifi had not been started. Dmesg showed the following message: iwlwifi: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -110 There is not an issue with the wifi router as my wife was using the internet on her laptop at the time. Also, when I looked at the wifi definition it said the wifi was last used 3 hours ago, but it has been over 9 hours since I shutdown my pc and that was from Windows, so where is networkmanager (assuming Fedora is still using networkmanager) getting its information from? I am using KDE for my desktop. regards, Steve

Major Problem with wine 7.12 update??
by Michael D. Setzer II 24 Jul '22

24 Jul '22

After the update of wine today, I've run into a major problem. The primary wine app I use stopped working correctly. Program Pegasus Email loads fine and downloaded mail fine, but then the panel to view it comes up with a little spining icon and it just sit there tried accessing a number of the emails, and doesn't matter which one I selected got the same issue. Had to kill the program to clear the locked screen. Had no issues with the 7.10 version.. Run dnf downgrade wine* and it install wine-core-6.16-1.fc35. Was expecting it to just go back to 7.10. Have never done a downgrade before. Started with Redhat 9 long long ago have have gone thru Fedora Core 1 up to the current Fedora 35 I have running. That did fix the issue, since the program is running fine again with the 6.16 version of wine.. So, questions. 1. Not seeing any messages that would tell me what is causing the issue. Nothing in the window itself and nothing from top or ps -ef that I can tell. 2. Is there a way to get it to upgrade to 7.10 rather than going all the way to the 7.12 which has some issue. 3. Have it emulating at windows 10 level, but not sure if it might have worked with some other level?? First time I've had any issues with wine running this app. Don't know what I would report in a bug report, since it is just showing the spining circle.

dnf update
by Patrick Dupre 24 Jul '22

Hello, It seems that fc36 tries to run a dnf update automatically when the machine goes to shutdown. If I am correct, how can I avoid it? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 | | Room# D114A ===========================================================================
