Re: Fedora Zoom? -

by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl

Have a look at jitsi. Plenty info on the web, including on YouTube. From: "Bob Goodwin" <bobgoodwin(a)fastmail.us<mailto:bobgoodwin@fastmail.us>> Date: Monday, 3 August 2020 at 17:54:00 To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org<mailto:users@lists.fedoraproject.org>> Subject: Fedora Zoom? - I have a request from the VA to do a video interview rather than the usual secure text messages. "Do you have the ability to do a video appointment (you would need a computer with a camera or a tablet or a smartphone)." We have iPhones etc. that might work but my daughter suggests that I need 'Zoom' on my Fedora 32 computer since I have trouble with the smaller mobile devices. Is there a Linux equivalent application I can run from my desktop workstation?

Issue w Zoom - "sharing screen"

by Max Pyziur

Greetings, Since we're discussing Zoom, one problem that I've had is sharing a screen while I'm presenting. Situation: I've prepared a presentation/powerpoint. I open it in Libreoffice, I then click Slide Show -> Start from Current Slide Continue then with Zoom. When it's my turn to share my powerpoint, it's hit or miss; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Since Libreoffice does it as a fork, it's never clear from the Zoom selection which selection is for the full screen, and which is for the regular libreoffice screen. Anyone else have to deal with something like this? Thanks, Max pyz(a)brama.com

Hi All, If you have trouble remembering the initialism "nmcli" like I do, this is my trick for remembering it: (N)etwork (M)anager (C)ommand (L)ine (I)nterface :-) Now all I have to do is remember "Network Manager". :'( -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pgadmin3 in Fedora 32 Workstation

by Anil Felipe Duggirala

hello, I have 2 separate questions regarding pgadmin installation in Fedora 32. 1. pgadminIII, I believe only supports postgresql up to version 11.x. The default version (fedora repo) of postgresql is 12.3. So the pgadmin3 (pgadmin4 is not available) package in the default repository is not compatible with the default postgresql package. Is this correct? 2. A couple of days ago, my terminal prompt changed from "username@machinename", to "username@localhost". Did this maybe happen after installing postgresql and/or pgadmin? Could anyone point me in the direction of the documentation that explains how this all (domains, setting them in Fedora, implications, etc.) works? thank you very much, Anil

Kernel gcc mismatch?

by Neil Bird

Am I misunderstanding something? I'm trying to update my local NVidia binary driver for the latest couple of kernels (5.7.10-201.fc32.x86_64 and later), but it's failing to build because: *** Failed CC version check. Bailing out! *** Recent kernels are still all being built with gcc 10.1.1 so far as I can tell (even the latest has CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=100101), but I now have gcc 10.2.1 installed and 10.1.1 is not available (well, not immediately through dnf, I have yet to rummage through caches/archives). Is my system out of sync or are the packages? -- [phoenix@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [phoenix@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [phoenix@fnx ~]# exit

SPDIF sound in F32

by Greg Woods

After wrestling all day with an ASUS Xonar SE card (with accompanying Googling), I now believe that this card cannot be made to work in Linux. Stereo output through the green line out port works fine, but SPDIF does not. "lspci" actually claims this thing is a USB controller, although as I mentioned stereo sound does work. Does anybody have a PCIe sound card that is known to work with SPDIF 5.1 surround sound output? It has to be optical as those are the only digital ports on my receiver. One frustrating thing about trying to search for information online is that I come up with a lot of stuff that is way too old to be useful. For instance, a lot of the advice articles I found on getting sound working mention 4Front and OSS sound drivers, which is probably 15-20 year old information. I'm looking for first hand "yes I know this card works", or at least a pointer to something that isn't Ubuntu specific and is recent enough to be useful. Thanks, --Greg

dnf-automatic command_email failing to send email?

by Gunnar Niels

Hello, I'm trying to configure dnf-automatic to automatically upgrade my system on a daily basis and send me a summary via mailx using my mailgun account. I have mailx configured and functioning as expected; I can use the 'mail' cmd to send mail, and have other services using it to send mail. The following gist[1] has my /etc/dnf/automatic.conf; all I've really changed about it is to specify to use 'command_email' and uncommented the default 'command_format' and 'stdin_format', along with setting the from/to emails. I've dropped some debug logs into the python it runs, and I can see it gets to the emitter fine. I was even able to send an example email with the emmitter that was constructed by manually setting the subject and body and running `emitters[0].commit()`[2]! The error I'm seeing in the dnf-automatic.service logs is: Jul 29 06:45:16 <host>dnf-automatic[6226]: . . . message not sent. Is this is a bug or do I have something misconfigured? Would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction. [1] https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gunnarniels/7e29720adf654fee698c33d931... [2] https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/4.2.23/dnf/automatic/... -GN

Cannot display Sixel Graphics via img2sixel on xTerm

by Sreyan Chakravarty

Hi, I have tried and failed to display a SiXel image on xTerm console. I have compiled libsixel from source from here: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel since the Fedora COPR for libsixel does not work(https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/saahriktu/libsixel/): $ sudo dnf copr enable saahriktu/libsixel Enabling a Copr repository. Please note that this repository is not part of the main distribution, and quality may vary. The Fedora Project does not exercise any power over the contents of this repository beyond the rules outlined in the Copr FAQ at <https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#what-i-can-buil...>, and packages are not held to any quality or security level. Please do not file bug reports about these packages in Fedora Bugzilla. In case of problems, contact the owner of this repository. Do you really want to enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/saahriktu/libsixel? [y/N]: y Error: This repository does not have any builds yet so you cannot enable it now. Even though the COPR has 1 build I cannot add it for some reason: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/saahriktu/libsixel/builds/ Thus I had to build from source. The build of libsixel completed without any errors. The complete config.log is here: https://pastebin.com/6c6ExwcL The current xTerm package in Fedora has SiXel graphics enabled. But even after doing all that I am unable to get any output: $ img2sixel /home/sreyan/Pictures/neofetch_test.png outputs nothing. Is this a problem with xTerm or the libsixel library ? If anyone has any ideas as to were I am going wrong, please let me know. Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan
