skype
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
When I try to update skype to version 8.69.0.77-1.x86_64.rpm
I get:
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libatomic1 needed by skypeforlinux-8.69.0.77-1.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
dnf install libatomic1
Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:15 ago on Tue 02 Mar 2021 09:33:24 AM CET.
No match for argument: libatomic1
Error: Unable to find a match: libatomic1
What is the option ?
Thanks

Using a Windoze application
by Geoffrey Leach
I have a Windows 10 application on a USB stick. I need to run it
occasionally on a laptop that does not have Windows, but does have
fedora 32.
I could, of course, install Windows, fiddle the partitions, then
install Fedora. Lots of work for something that would be used
occasionally. To say nothing of the annoying rebooting.
Any suggestions on a better approach would be appreciated.
Thanks.

dependency question

Just out of curiosity: if package B depends on A, shown by the that
removing A removes B, too, how come that after removing both, B can be
installed without installing A?

FAS login issue
by alan＠clueserver.org
I created a Fedora FAS account a long while back. I cannot find the
account name I used and there seems to be no way to find it. The password
reset assumes you know what account name you used.
Who do I talk to to get this fixed?

no middle click paste with F33
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
Just installed F33 on my laptop (fresh install, not an upgrade) and
middle click no longer paste in any application (tried gedit, terminal
mainly).
I install gnome tweaks and the option is enable. I disabled and
re-enabled it (who knows...) and I even did a restart after all that (I
heard this process tend to make things work under other operating systems).
I also search the web but didn't find anything special.
It used to work fine on my F32 version which was an upgrade from many
Fedora version ago.
Any idea how I could get that working again please?
Thank you.

Erratic startup of sound with F33
by Steve Underwood
Hi,
Since I upgraded my desktop machine from F32 to F33 a couple of weeks
ago I have been having problems with my sound devices. I never had any
trouble before the upgrade. Every time I start my machine I can see all
the sound devices in /dev, and I used use them OK by connecting directly
to the ALSA devices. However, in pulseaudio (e.g. using its volume
control app) I sometimes see all my sound devices, and sometimes I see
none. If I shut down pulseaudio when I see none, and restart it a couple
of times, the devices usually appear. I either see all of them
(motherboard audio, HDMI audio from my nVidia 1050Ti board, and and EMU
0404USB audio interface box) or none of them. The only one that is easy
to remove is the EMU box, so I tried unplugging that. It did not stop
the problem. I have yet to see pulseaudio start up with just one or two
of these devices visible. Its always all or nothing. Is anyone else
seeing this?
Regards,
Steve

Fedora 33 vs Mageia 8
by David
I am curious what the similarities are between Fedora 33 and the newly
released Mageia 8, and what the differences are.
Today's release announcment of Mageia 8, alleges that it ships with three
repositories, one of which is disabled. One of their repos contains
non-free stuff, and can be disabled. The disabled one contains the
controversial codecs which may be illegal in your country.
I recall someone suggesting that Mageia can ship their iso that way because
tjey are in France.
I do believe that the developmemt team at Mageia is only about 30
volunteers.
From my perspective, they do not use third-party repos. Right ?
I assume Mageia's core repo is not as up-to-date as Fedoras.
I assume Mageia 8 is way behind Fedora 34 Beta.
It would seem to me, that if a user prefers LXDE, or LXQt, or Mate or Xfce
or a window-manager, that it would not matter what distro you choose.
I do not think Mageia has Budgie DE.
Mageia only offers one iso, where as Fedora has custom isos. Right ?
Meaning, in order to get Mageia 8 LXQt, you must first install Mageia 8.
I think a newbie could learn on Mageia 8 and then later on learn to prefer
Fedora. Right ?
I assume they do not use anaconda as their instllaler, but have something
that the old Mandriva had.
Feel free to enlightmemt me.
Cheers,
David Locklear
