5.6 kernel is slower to boot
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
I have just upgraded to Fedora 32 and am using the latest 5.6.10-300
kernel. But I am seeing that is slower to boot than the 5.5 kernel that
I was using in Fedora 31.
For example, when I enter my LUKS password, it takes a good 30 seconds
to start the actual boot process. In 5.5 this use to happen almost
instantaneously after I entered my password.
Anyone facing anything similar ? Or maybe knows why this is happening ?

Gjots2 installation issues on F32
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
Opened a bug report in the Gjots2 bug tracker but didn't receive a
response yet. So apparently the package has been upgraded (since v3.1.0)
to use Python3 and PyGObject for GTK-3, and is actively maintained,
which is great.
I am using Gjots2 to store my passwords, using PGP encryption and not
being able to install it is a bit of an issue.
So when downloading the latest rpm from sourceforge
(v3.1.6-1.fc31.noarch.rpm) I am getting the following errors when
installing:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by gjots2-3.1.6-1.fc31.noarch
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Audacity can't play audio on Fedora 32
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
Audacity is unable to play any sort of audio in Fedora 32 on my HP
Notebook.
I installed Audacity from Gnome Software so pretty sure it is a FlatPak.
Whenever I hit the play button I get:
"Error opening sound device.
Try changing the audio host, playback device and the project sample rate."
I did ask the guys over at the Audacity Forums, but they were, lets say,
less than helpful.
You can find the full details of my thread here:
https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=395574
The sound devices listed in Audacity are:
* HDA Intel PCH: HDMI 0 (hw:0.3)
* HDA Intel PCH: HDMI 1 (hw:0.7)
* HDA Intel PCH: HDMI 2 (hw:0.8)
* HDA Intel PCH: HDMI 3 (hw:0.9)
* HDA Intel PCH: HDMI 4 (hw:0.10)
* hdmi
And you can find my "Audio Device Info" from Audacity over here:
https://pastebin.com/raw/icDNX20x
So far no other application has given me any issues with sound, Firefox,
VLC, Rhytmbox all work fine. Its only Audacity that is the oddball.
Since the people at Audacity don't know what is going on, I am asking
you guys.
Let me know if any further diagnostic info is required.
Thanks.

boot/grub
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
On a multi-boot PC, how grub is updated?
In the past /etc/grub2.cfg was updated.
and now?
It seems that there are 2 tools: bootctl, and efibootmgr
What are the files managed by these tools?
How to understand?
BootCurrent: 000F
Which tool is run after an update of the kernel?
Thank.

windows10 disk not showing up
by Neal Becker
Today my wife's windows10 lenovo laptop was not starting normally, cycling through various "repair" screens. It does seem to work at least
minimally though.
I tried booting of my f32 usb stick and thought maybe I could take a look at the SSD. But when I start gnome disks, the internal SSD doesn't
show up! lsblk doesn't show it. I looked through journalctl and saw some reference to ATA1, and I believe some kind of error.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? The SSD is working enough to boot windows and run various things like file manager, so why doesn't it
show in linux?

F32 Upgrade From F31 Produces Never Seen Before Error Message in
Gnome on Xorg and Possibly also KDE.
by Stephen Morris
HI,
I have a config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to start up DM's on
Xorg in 4K monitor resolution, as in F31 both Xorg and Wayland would
start up in 800x600 resolution and I would then have to minimize then
maximize the VM window for the DM to switch into 4K resolution as I
desired. After upgrading from F31 to F32 (there were lots of issues with
the upgrade that I will detail in other threads), when the Gnome on Xorg
DM starts up (I am using Virtualbox on Wndows 10) I get a message at the
top of the DM screen specifying 'VBOxClient: Failed to Register Resizing
Support'. What exactly does this message mean?
Looking at dmesg I also get lots of the following messages:

Lately all my bug reports tend to go like this. Are others having the
same experience? I have been using Fedora a long time, and part of
the pleasure was I could contribute to making the distro better. Now
it seems to have reduced to "wait until it fixes itself", how is that
any different from Windows/Mac? It's very disappointing to see the
community aspect of Fedora go down this way while the OS has improved
by so much compared to when I started using Fedora.

fedora 32 live DVD crashes
by Michael Hennebry
I've trying to run Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso
on my HP Compac dc5800 Small Form Factor.
It kernel panics with the message that it attempted to kill init
or that it attempted to kill the idle task.
In the former case, it gives exit code 0x00000009.
For several months,
I've been running Centos 7 with no difficulty in booting,
except for needing acpi=off .
I've needed that on every computer I've ever owned.
I know roughly what it means,
but have no idea why it would matter.
The live DVD, including Troubleshoot, crashes with or without acpi=off .
How do I boot?
