DNF5 feature status.
by Joel Naya 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hello everyone, I've been using dnf5 for almost a month and have done updates including kernel updates and everything seems to be working well. Dnf-3 has a feature of downloading source code directly from the repository which is absent in dnf5. Will it be implemented anytime soon? dnf-3 on my machine is very slow so I have to rely on dnf5. Thanks.

Printer settings?
by Alex 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hi, I have a fedora38 desktop install, and when I go to the main System Settings menu, there is no option to configure printers in the Hardware section. What package am I missing in order to configure/detect/install new printers? This is a complete reinstall on the same computer where I had fedora37. I have a Brother HL-L2370DW series printer. The printer is available when I try to print from gnome-text-editor, but not from within Chrome. I think it must be automatically detected each time I try to print with gedit, but it appears more is needed to be set up with Chrome, which I would imagine starts with proper CUPS configuration. I'm aware of the web-browser interface to CUPS, but want to use the GNOME interface to start instead. Thanks, Alex

nftables and selinux
by François Patte 14 Aug '23

Bonjour, I come accross a problem with nftables: it was impossible to start nftables, the error message is: internal:0:0-0: Error: Could not open file "/etc/sysconfig/nftables.conf": Permission denied This file /etc/sysconfig/nftables.conf has 755 permissions. I tried to get informatons from the internet but did not find a solution. I tested wether it was a selinux problem and I won... setenforce 0 solved the problem.... Now I went back to setenforce 1 but the problem is : if I reboot my machine, the problem will come back. How to make selinux accept nftables? fc36 nftables version 1.0.1 Thank you for helping. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte FSF https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-from…

Do we get badges for this one? Hey Onyeibo, No, Sorry the badges system is broken and is being built from scratch by Fedora Infra at this moment and will take some time. Nonetheless, we have something called Heroes of Fedora, that I will be running for F39 and you will get a mention when I pull up all the test day data.

Starting LXDE from xinit -- :0 xterm window
by Robert McBroom 11 Aug '23

11 Aug '23

Been having problems with f38 startup going to a blank screen with no response to the keyboard, mouse. Was using sddm as the display manager. Can get around it by by booting in terminal mode. Starting the graphical mode with xinit -- :0 and lxsession in the resulting xterm window. Get the following messages in the window-- ~]$ lxsession & [1] 4047 ~]$ ** Message: 12:00:19.020: main.vala:113: Session is (null) ** Message: 12:00:19.021: main.vala:114: DE is (null) ** Message: 12:00:19.021: main.vala:118: No session set, fallback to LXDE session ** Message: 12:00:19.021: main.vala:124: No desktop environnement set, fallback to LXDE ** Message: 12:00:21.473: main.vala:145: log directory: /home/rm3/.cache/lxsession/LXDE ** Message: 12:00:21.473: main.vala:146: log path: /home/rm3/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log The system is sthen somewhat usable but occasionally locks up. Is there a command to start a desktop environment before the session?

Broken Packages DNF update /Dorian Rosse/Tom Horsley. FFmpeg / VLC.
by Ger van Dijck 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hello All, In the recent past I had problems with skipping packages with broken dependencies : ffmpeg-libs , libavdevice : Dorian Rosse adviced to install with " rpmfind ffmpeg-libs and libavdevice". No result. Tom Horsley did advice "dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing". Result skip broken dependencies ffmpeg (new !) , ffmpeg-libs , libavdevice : So no result. I solved the problem with dnf update ffmpeg --allowerase and all problems where sollved. Now Tom has a new problem with VLC player. Well so have I : What is wrong with ffmpeg ? Dnf wants to update Live 555 to 2023.06.20-2.f38 , when doing so the vlc player cannot be launched anymore. So I found the following solution "dnf install vlc" : The result a downgrade on Live 555 and big surprice all (VLC) runs fine ! So do not update Live 555. One way or another I have the impression that DNF is for the most of us to complex. Nice to hear from you all. Ger van Dijck.

Is this another rpmfusion versus fedora thing?
by Tom Horsley 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

I've been getting this dnf error for several days now: Problem: package vlc-core-1:3.0.19-0.3.fc38.1.x86_64 from @System requires live555(x86-64) = 2023.03.30, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both live555-2023.06.20-2.fc38.x86_64 from updates and live555-2023.03.30-1.fc38.x86_64 from @System - cannot install both live555-2023.03.30-1.fc38.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free and live555-2023.06.20-2.fc38.x86_64 from updates - cannot install the best update candidate for package vlc-core-1:3.0.19-0.3.fc38.1.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package live555-2023.03.30-1.fc38.x86_64 Is this like ffmpeg was earlier with rpmfusion and fedora repos clashing? What is the best way to fix it?

Bluetooth headphones remain visible in Plasma Audio volume after disconnect
by Blaz Rojc 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

I use Bluetooth headphones (Razer Barracuda X) with my laptop (Dell Latitude 5530) running the KDE Plasma spin of Fedora 38. In the last week or so, I noticed that every time the headphones disconnect or change profile, a "new" device shows up in the Audio volume panel and the "old" one stays there, doing nothing. This doesn't really affect the use of the headphones, except that scrolling to change volume doesn't work anymore, as the panel defaults to changing the "old" device, which stays unchanged. I have to manually open the panel and drag the slider to change volume. Does anyone know how should I tackle this problem or where should I write for help? I feel like this should be a recent bug, as I have been using the headphones without issues for a couple months now, and it only recently started breaking. Thank you in advance for any help! PS: I can provide screenshots of the Audio volume panel, but I don't know how to include images here.
