no hdmi audio on older tv
by Jiri Vanek 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello! I have f29 (ernel kernel-4.18.12-300.fc29 ) on machine, which is changing its place from time to time - between two TVs. Old, and older:) Both are connected by HDMI. Video output is fine, even acceleration is working, but sound work only on newer of those two. I don't know if this is regression, because this machine replaced 32b rapbery2 with kodi, which was working without issues on both TVs (but was eaten by (not mine) dog) I was following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems but had not found much: - with removed pulseaudio, the aplay -vv segfaults - I really on pulseaudio anyway, as I need to transfer sound to this machine over network - the diff of alsa-info.sh's is really minimal [1], only [cite] state.vc4hdmi { control.1 { iface PCM name ELD value '100007006712000100000000000000004c2d9d02 for non working and value '100007006712000100000000000000004c2d9b03 for working [/cite] - when alsamixer is opened, then the default looks like working, and the job on old tv; but not do nothing older tv. - when alsamixer -c0 is opened, then the vc4-hdmi reports no control for selected device for *both* tvs (which is same as f6 and selecting vc4-hdmi) Does anybody have a clue what to try?

Replacing email list for users with a web forum software called Discourse, what's your opinion?
by stan 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hi, There's a big mail thread on fedora-devel about using a web forum software called Discourse instead of mailing lists. The idea is that it would invigorate the Fedora community by encouraging younger people raised on social media and mobile platforms to contribute. One of the targets they have mentioned is the user list, because of its nature of short term question and answer topics. There has been push-back by developers because they have their custom solutions all working great around email lists for doing their work. I'm wondering how the people who regularly use fedora-users mailing list feel about that. Which would you prefer? Unfortunately, it's an either / or proposal, because there is no interface in Discourse for emails from an email list to be put in their forums, though they do have email notification for new web messages. Would you willingly or reluctantly migrate to the new platform? Here are a few links from that thread. https://theforeman.org/2018/07/discourse-6-months-on-impact-assesment.html https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-mailing-list-mode/46008/9 https://meta.discourse.org/t/biggest-busiest-discourse-forums/30674 In order to access discourse, because fedora is using the hosting provided by discourse, you will have to grant js access to http://discourse-cdn-sjc1.com

Networkmanager Wait Online Failing at Boot Time
by Stephen Morris 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hi, My Nas Devices are failing to mount at boot time because the Networkmanager Wait Online Service is failing at boot time. The following is the output from systemctl that the boot process recommends being run. Is there anything in that output that would indicate why the service is failing even though the wifi adapter is indicating that it is already active before the service fails? This issue happens every time I boot. bash-4.4$ systemctl status NetworkManager-wait-online.service ● NetworkManager-wait-online.service - Network Manager Wait Online Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2018-10-23 07:38:50 AEDT; 19min ago Docs: man:nm-online(1) Process: 1656 ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q --timeout=30 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1656 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Oct 23 07:38:20 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Network Manager Wait Online...

network is no more?
by Tom Horsley 31 Oct '18

Has fedora 29 eradicated the old 'network' service? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Someone actually imagines that NetworkManager functions correctly now?

F28: internet essentially disconnects after a short while
by Ranjan Maitra 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hi, Recently, as of last week, I installed Fedora 28 on a new XPS 13. I went with Openbox window manager and no desktop environment because that is what I feel gives me the most bang for my buck. If I am behind the times, feel free to correct me but that is not the issue here. Anyway, everything works great, from what I can tell except that my network appears to disconnect after a while (such as 30 minutes, say). NetworkManager (nm-applet) indicates that the connection is valid as is the VPN but nothing goes or comes. The solution is to click on the connection and essentially get a new connection. I had read recently about the new Fedora feature of randomizing the MAC address and so I tried disabling that and using the following: nmcli c modify e8c79829-1848-4563-8e44-466e14a3223d 802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address permanent nmcli c down e8c79829-1848-4563-8e44-466e14a3223d nmcli c up e8c79829-1848-4563-8e44-466e14a3223d Where the mac addresses are taken from the article. I had hoped that my issue would be go away but no dice. Any suggestions on what I could be trying? Feel free to ask questions in case additional information is needed.

F29: Ufraw & ufraw-gimp
by Antonio M 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

I used to work with gimp+ufraw-gimp in F28. Now in F29, I can't use them, Gimp has the option to use darktable or Rawtherapee as plugin for raw files. Furthermore if I use Ufraw when I click on send to Gimp I get an error opening Gimp, stating that file is not svg type. Any idea?? Antonio Montagnani Linux Fedora 29 Workstation da/from Gmail
