Moved my GeForce GTX 960 from my old computer to my new one, installed akmod-nvidia, but when I try to play HDMI audio through it, I get left channel only, and the audio from it is more static than the sound it is supposed to play. Did I zap something on the video card? It worked fine in the old computer. (No video problems). I now have the optical output going to my receiver, and that works, but means I have to have the receiver on to get any sound (a bit irritating).

No visible mouse pointer

by Paolo Galtieri

I have successfully upgraded one system to F31, however, it still exhibits the same problem it has had under F30, namely no visible mouse pointer. The mouse does work since I have configured my MATE desktop to display the mouse pointer location when I press the ctrl key. This only works once I am logged in, until then I have to move the mouse until I see something change to know where the mouse is. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Paolo

Upgrading to f31

by Paolo Galtieri

Folks, I was trying to upgrade one of my systems to f31 by running: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --skip-broken --refresh --releasever=31 but the attempt fails with: Error: Problem: package cmake-fedora-2.9.3-5.fc31.noarch requires packagedb-cli, but none of the providers can be installed - problem with installed package cmake-fedora-2.9.3-4.fc30.noarch - packagedb-cli-2.14.1-9.fc30.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository - cmake-fedora-2.9.3-4.fc30.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository removing these 2 packages results in the removal of over 50 other packages. So what do I need to do to do the upgrade? Any help is appreciated. Paolo

Keepassx export Import -

by Bob Goodwin

What is the secret to copying the Keepassx database into another computer? It has always been difficult for me, this morning it seems impossible. I see no point in making it so secure that it can't be done. Simply copying a file would not seem to reduce its security ... I have spent an hour messing with exporting and importing the databases this morning! No matter what, it simply rejects it. I ran the "Repair Database" application and it finds nothing to repair.

dnf questions

by François Patte

Bonjour, 1- Consulting the dnf log files, I could see that there is one hour difference between the reported log and the time of the event, ie.: I used dnf to install some package at 18h46 and in the log file, I can see: 2019-12-29T17:46:08Z SUBDEBUG Installed: python3-samba-2:4.10.10-0.fc30.x86_64 Why? 2- Some packages create a new entry in the /etc/group file. I don't mind.... up to the time when rkhunter warns me that a new entry has been created in this file... How can we know the culprit package? And why this information is not reported in the dnf log files? Thank you. -- 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-fr...

bluetooth for centos?? -- offtopic

by bruce

Hi. Doing some research on older centos systems. Thought I'd post here as well. Trying to see if there's a way to hook a bluetooth pair of earbuds to a centos 6 laptop to be able to hear the audio.. Selecting the initial bluetooth icon shows "no bluetooth adapters present" I assume this might be a kernel issue or some other packages that need to be installed. Thanks

grub.cfg and kernel video resolution

by Robert McBroom

With the deprecating of the "vga=791" specification, what is the method of passing the video resolution to the kernel in a text mode boot? The setting in grub.cfg gives the grub menu resolution but the kernel drops back to 640x480 when it starts unless the vga specification is added to the command line.

Fedora 31: network bridge does not get an IP address

by Patrick Mansfield

Hi - Upgraded from Fedora 29 to Fedora 31, and I'm unable to get my network bridge working. Any ideas on how to get this working? I saw the other posts about adding MACADDR, but I'm not using DHCP and I don't care what MAC address is used. I have a fixed IP address in my network script, this: [umbrella network-scripts]$ more ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static NM_CONTROLLED=yes DELAY=0 But AFAIR br0 did not get an IP address. I'm not 100% sure of the exact failure, as I had difficulty using the console as it that was being spammed by a firewall message output apparently because the bridge was not up, and I had to disable the bridge and use one network for now so I can get normal internet access. And then I'm bridging these two ethernet devices: [umbrella network-scripts]$ more ifcfg-lan1 DEVICE=lan1 HWADDR=74:d0:2b:a2:7d:a9 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes BRIDGE=br0 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no [umbrella network-scripts]$ more ifcfg-lan2 DEVICE=lan2 HWADDR=00:48:54:62:2f:7a BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes BRIDGE=br0 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no Thanks ... -- Patrick

Upgraded F31 system still believes it is living in the past, on F30!

by Ranjan Maitra

Dear friends, I upgraded my F30 system today using: sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31 Worked "fine" but for the following: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/lvm2-monitor-service-runs-endlessly-on-st... Duly fixed with: sudo systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service System came up after the second masking, but while it shows uname -a: 5.3.16-300.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 17:59:04 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux When I go for: $ sudo dnf clean all $ sudo dnf update Adobe Systems Incorporated 5.9 kB/s | 2.0 kB 00:00 Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64 2.3 MB/s | 2.7 MB 00:01 Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 MB/s | 4.1 MB 00:01 Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates 11 MB/s | 23 MB 00:02 Fedora 30 - x86_64 21 MB/s | 70 MB 00:03 RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Free - Updates 233 kB/s | 406 kB 00:01 RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Free 578 kB/s | 735 kB 00:01 RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Nonfree - Updates 190 kB/s | 75 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Nonfree 403 kB/s | 227 kB 00:00 Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Amusing, but how do I get this system to not believe that it is living in the past? This is my fourth upgraded system, three today, but this is the one with the issues. Happy to provide more information as needed. Many thanks again for any and all help! Best wishes, Ranjan
