vncserver program disappered on FC32??
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have two machines running Fedora 32, and just noticed with the latest
update of tigervnc-server the vncserver is GONE?
Did a downgrade on both machines, and it is back and running just fine.
The one machine had rebooted, and therefor wasn't able to load the
server. The other machine still had the server running from before the
upgrade, so was able to vnc into it.
The file from the /usr/bin director was just no longer there. Tried a
reinstall, and still no file. Only the downgrade option restored it??
Not sure on how to report this. Didn't notice it until trying to vnc into
machine that had rebooted? The dnf whatprovides shows that the
program is included, so not sure what kind of error is in the latest
update??
Thanks and be Safe...

Policy regarding opt-out telemetry and privacy
by Olivier Lemasle
Hi all,
I'm packaging Open Policy Agent [1] (OPA) for Fedora. However, with version 0.20.0, OPA added a telemetry service, enabled by default, reporting to a OPA-managed service the OPA version, a UUID and the build architecture (cf changelog [2] and privacy information [3])
I didn't find any Fedora policy regarding this kind of opt-out telemetry, so I asked the Fedora Packaging Commitee for advice [4]. I got advised to ask Fedora community on this mailing list.
So do you think it is ok to package OPA as is, or should I patch it to make telemetry opt-in by disabling it by default in the Fedora package?
More globally, what do you think should be done in Fedora packages when an upstream project includes a telemetry service?
Thank you & regards,

New parallel port card won't work
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Here we go again.
I now have a Siig JJ-E01211-S1 Single Parallel Port PCIe Card
https://stage.siig.com/products/it-products/serial-parallel/parallel/pcie...
System Requirements:
...
Linux kernel 2.6 and later version
Works with Linux but not supported
And Printer Admin and CUPS do not find it.
Troubleshooting:
1) connected a USB to Parallel converter card. Printer work fine
2) boot off of Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso. Printer
admin still can't find the card.
3) With
# modprobe -r lp
# modprobe -r parport_pc
# modprobe parport_pc io=0x378 irq=11
# modprobe lp
the card does show up and you can print to it, but
the jobs instantly disappear and nothing shows on
the printer's status screen
What next?
-T
Here is some data on the card

Any better gnome-system-monitor?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have been using gnome-system-monitor, but it does
not show CPU usages when CPU's are tied up with
system interrupts. htop does, but it is not GUI based.
Anyone have a favorite GUI that will give me
accurate CPU usage?
Many thanks,

how to install zoom client.
by home user
Good morning,
(f-29)
(background)
Last week, I was to participate in a "Zoom" meeting for a charity that
I'm involved in. I have the needed software on my rarely-used windows-7
box. But I could not complete the windows-7 login (some problem with a
windows-7 service). I've since found there is a "Zoom" client for
Fedora. "dnfdragora" does not find anything for it. But I found a web
page that I hope has what I need. I've downloaded the package
("zoom_x86_64.rpm"), and I've downloaded a "Public Key"
("package-signing-key.pub"). The web site from which I've downloaded
these also has a line:
Key fingerprint: [some 40 hex digit number]
(4 questions)
1. Do the 2 files need to be in a specific place to do the install? If
yes, where?
2. Do I need to be "root" to do the install?
3. What do I do with the "Key fingerprint"?
4. How do I do the install (preferably using "dnf")?
thanks,
Bill.

Install Fedora -
by Bob Goodwin
There must be some other way to install fedora than using "mediawriter?"
I want to install a copy of fedora-33 on another drive and I would like
to try a different method if someone can suggest one. Google has not
helped ...

FC33 won't upgrade
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
My Fedora Test Virtual Machine (qemu-kvm) won't upgrade
to 33 from, 32. I say it is upgrading then boot almost
immediately back into FC32.
# rpm --rebuilddb
# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
# dnf --enablerepo=* update --refresh --disablerepo=brave*
# dnf install python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=33 --allowerasing
--best --disablerepo=brave*
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-33-primary
# dnf system-upgrade -v reboot --debugsolver
And I forgot how to use --debugsolver to see what is
going wrong.

systemd-resolved + adguard?
by Neal Becker
Since updating to f33 today, adguard stopped working. Any thoughts on how
to configure a system to take advantage of both systemd-resolved and
adguard (or similar)?
Thanks,

F32 => F33 Error: Transaction test error: [unseen space]
by Beartooth
Running ]# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=33
--allowerasing
gets me a transaction test error saying
At least 674MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
But gparted shows /dev/sda with 111.79 GB including 87.94 GB
unused, and /dev/sdb1 with 1.8 TB, and only 4 MB used.
Partitioning seems simple till I have to use it, and then
immediately bewilders me. What do I have to do??
