A problem with compiling the latest version of Orca screen reader on
F 33 and Rawhide
by Francisco Tissera
Hello everyone,
The problem I'v having is this:
When i clone orca into the orca directory, cd to it, and run
./autogen.sh, everything goes ok, eccept...
configure: error: Package requirements (pygobject-3.0 >= 3.18) were not met:
Package 'pygobject-3.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYGOBJECT_CFLAGS
and PYGOBJECT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
[francisco@Blueblink orca]$
I tried reinstalling the packages, but funny thing is, that the packages
were already there. i also tried some pip solutions I found on the web,
but, as you can see, none of them worked out that well.
Has anyone encountered this missing library thing somewhere? if so, how
would I go about fixing it?
Thanks for any answer.
Best regards.

Mounting device using UUID by non-root
by Geoffrey Leach
Suppose I have a USB stick with UUID 1234. I am able to mount it as root
# mount UUID=1234 /Media
or as a non-root user
% sudo mount UUID=1234 /Media
unsafe!
Question: is there any way to perform the mount (from the command line)
without the sudo?
Thanks.

done diffrently....

Inhibit sleep from systemd service
by Gordon Messmer
I'd like to inhibit suspend while backups run on my laptop. I'm
scheduling those backups with a systemd timer[1] and service[2]. I've
read that the default polkit policy only permits inhibiting suspend from
within a login session, so I've also tried to add rules to allow the
root user to inhibit suspend[3]. However, with all of those in place, I
still get errors that I think indicate that the "systemd-inhibit"
command is failing[4].
I'm running this on Fedora 33. Has anyone successfully used
systemd-inhibit from a systemd unit?

f33:: php not working
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! I'm trying to make work something like this:
cat phpinfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
it would seem that mod_php is no longer used .. ok, i installed php_fpm
(which was excluded and masked because it seems silly to me to run 2 processes for some crappy pages)
i tried to increase the log level for php.ini but nothing worked ..
Does anyone know the magic for php to work again?
Thank you!

fan control
by GianPiero Puccioni
Hi,
I have a Toshiba satellite pro (R50-B-109) and since I updated to kernel 5.11.17
the fan runs constantly even if sensors report Temps around 35C.
If I load the previous Kernel 5.10.21 fans are silent and Temp is around 40C.
What changed?
I have no control over the fans as pwmconfig cannot find any pwm-capable sensors.
Is there any solution for this? A different utility for Tosh fans maybe?
Or it was wrong before and fans shuold be running?
Thanks,
GianPiero

Fedora 33 - FIPS - Cups
by Winfried de Heiden
Hi all,
I enabled FIPS-mode on my Fedora 33 machine (fips-mode-setup --enable;
reboot) and it all looks fine except printing using Cups. Printing will
throw an error:

Disabling FIPS will make it work again.
Running bannertopdf gives a clue why it is not allowed when using FIPS.
It uses MD% which is not allowed in FIPS:
/usr/lib/cups/filter/bannertopdf 1 xxx '' 1 ''

what(): gnutls: MD5 error: An algorithm that is not enabled was
negotiated.
Aborted (core dumped)
Any idea how to fix this? Or since Cups seems problematic for FIPS,
bypass FIPS for Cups only?
There is an interesting Bugzilla voor RHEL8 on this
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1650233) but I can't find
out whether or not this is fixed for Fedora.
