System is locking up a lot
by Robert Moskowitz
Since updates Saturday night I have been having hard lock ups. It looks
like Firefox is the trigger.
Lenovo X140e notebook
F35 current with all updates as of Saturday night.
Xfce desktop
It was really bad at first. I finally managed to kill Firefox auto load
pages by in a non-graphics session, watching what top was reporting
going on in the graphics session and killing Firefox.
Then starting Firefox and closing all my windows as they open. Finally
got it to start up with nothing to open. That was this morning. Things
seemed to be working OK until now when I got to my Hilton hotel for the
night and going through their miserable portal that FIrefox would not
accept their cert, and then it locked again.
Just booted. Updated again and only got added:
Upgraded:
alsa-sof-firmware-2.1.1-1.fc35.noarch
mariadb-connector-c-3.2.7-1.fc35.x86_64
mariadb-connector-c-config-3.2.7-1.fc35.noarch
pipewire-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-alsa-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-libs-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
pipewire-utils-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64
Skipped:
python3-reportlab-3.6.10-1.fc35.x86_64
I can't tell where, in /var/log/messages the system locked and then I
rebooted. I did not note the times closely.
Anyone hear anything like this? So far can't find anything in bugs.

scale or change monitor resolution on high dpi
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
Hello,
I have a laptop with a high dpi monitor, 4k on a 15" screen. 'Im on F36, Gnome.
I'm wondering whats the better alternative, change the resolution of the display or use scaling? (performance and usability)
Is there any update on fractional scaling? It didn't work last time I tried it (just really weird behavior, on Wayland at least).
thanks,
Anil F

Caja File manager hotkey idiosyncracy
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
When using the Caja file manager in xFce, if I shut it down using ctrl-W,
I can restart it later.
However, if I shut it down using ctrl-SpaceBar, then (C)lose, I can't
restart it.
Is this prevented by some "lock" file somewhere? Or something else?
Thank you,
Max

tweak/startup application
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Before fc36, I could have the application gnome-terminal
starting automatically at login.
Now, this application is still visible in the list of
Startup Applications,
but it does not work.
If I try to add a new application with tweak (at startup),
terminal, or gnome-terminal, does not show up (even by using search tool)
while /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
can be run manually.
What is going on?
Thank.

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston
From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in:
rpm -q --changelog openssh |less
as:
"* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7
- experimental NSS keys support
- correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951)
"
was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped
Fedora 8 ssh.
As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not
help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader`
# ssh-add -s 0
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 0
# ssh-add -s 1
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 1
So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced
to reading the source?

I'm running F35 and Gnome.
I can run the speaker tests,
the speaker icons actually appear this time,
but I get no sound.
If I play with the pale green connector in back of the PC,
I get the expected scratchy sound.
Now what?

gnuplot changed in 5.2->5.4 update
by Eyal Lebedinsky
A new gnuplot version was installed recently. Originally I had
2021-05-17T14:31:30+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-wx-5.2.8-7.fc34.x86_64
I recently upgraded fedora 34->36 and received this update
2022-06-09T18:04:52+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gnuplot-common-5.4.3-3.fc36.x86_64
Since then, a simple plot with tics/labels on the left (y axis) are not anymore mirrored on the right (y2).
It used to always do this by default, and it makes sense when reading values on the right.
I tried to play with the 'mirror' option to no avail.
Anyone knows how to restore the old behavior?
