I am running Fedora 32 up to date. It is a relatively new install and I noticed a few days ago Firefox is unable to play any online videos, including those on CNN.COM and Foxnews.com as well as other sites. I get various errors including error #4 from CNN. On foxnews the circular loading image just continues forever. I noticed Saturday I believe Firefox was updated to 80.0.1.2 but I don't recall whether it was able to handle online video before the update. How can I debug this? Thanks

Virtual terminals - no VISIBLE I/O

by Jon LaBadie

On Fedora 32 Workstation. My VTs are functional but there is not visible indication of I/O. By that I mean, I get no login or password prompt. But I can blindly login. I get no shell prompt. But I can blindly enter commands that run but they show no output in the VT. The VT system is controlled by systemD. After a boot and upon graphical login this is the status: $ systemctl | grep getty system-getty.slice loaded active active system-getty.slice getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts A "ps -ef | grep getty" gives no output After I try to access VT #3 (<Ctl><Alt><Fn3>) without logging in, I get an additional line from the above command: getty(a)tty3.service loaded active running Getty on tty3 And the ps pipe gives this: root 4237 1 0 13:23 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux I didn't think the display manager would affect the VT system, but just in case I tried gdm, sddm, lightdm. No differences. Any clue as to why there seems to be no video connection to the VTs? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

fedora php package and apache user with nginx

by ITwrx

i was wondering why Fedora (and openSUSE) still use "apache" for the php user (and "nginx" user for nginx) instead of using a generic "http" or "www" user for php, apache and nginx like some other distros? When running php under the "nginx" user, the session gets broken every time php is updated, because the package has the "apache" user hardcoded [2] and those dir/file perms get set back to apache. This is annoying and confusing when using nginx and being new to Fedora and doesn't happen on Arch, and i'm guessing not on Ubuntu/(Debian?) either. Now i've made my own session and opcache directories, as mentioned here [1], but i'd rather not have to make these special config adjustments for different distros, especially when it seems like a workaround for something that should be fixed in the packaging. Maybe i'm wrong? Am i missing something about how people are using nginx and php together, or is this just legacy packaging defaults from a time when there was only apache, which haven't been reconsidered since then? If the latter, it would be nice if Fedora would reconsider the way these packages' users are handled. thanks 1) https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/111334/permissions-on-folder... 2) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744405

javascript/firefox -- really off topic issue/question

by bruce

Hi. A few weeks ago someone posted an off-topic thread about scraping javascript/dynamic sites. Sorry to say, I've got a similar off-topic post. If this is unacceptable, let me know and I'll delete the thread. I'm dealing with the results of a url/site that has javascript. I had thought I could simply use Firefox, and hit the Developer Tools, and use the Inspector subWindow. All of this seems to work. However, in the Inspector window, I cant figure out how to "expand" all the nodes to see the complete html of the generated page. Been looking all over the net to figure this out. I know it's something subtle. I can set the "mouse" to the "html" node at the top of the window. Using the "right mouse" click I can select the "Exapnd All" option, and it appears to expand the nodes within the html. However, I can't seem to figure out how to then do a "Select All" for all the html in the Inpspector window so I can view the complete html in an external editor. Any idea how this can be accomplished? thanks!
