Suspend not working
by GianPiero Puccioni
Hi,
a friend has a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series 5593
and "suspend" when he closes the lid doesn't work anymore, as it doesn't get
back and he has to reboot it.
It did work a few months ago with kernel (he thinks) 5.10 or 11 but with newer
kernels it doesn't, we updated the system to F32 (it was F31) but nothing
changed. He uses KDE but weinstalled Gnome too and it was the same
The video card: "Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)"
could be a change in driver?
Weird thing is he just used a Live version of Ubuntu and it seems to work, is
there a known difference between them?
Searching the net I found that there is a problem with the "type" of suspend
used (S3 or S2 or something) and to try to put the line "mem_sleep_default=deep"
in the kernel line, no change...
Any suggestions? I'd really hate see him switching to Ubuntu just for this.
GiP

Is this better ?
by David
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=9285
I have never ever used Wordpress. I do not yet know if I followed all
the Fedora procedures
to do that.
My first impression is that that entire procedure is going to scare off
100% of the enthusiastic
Linux users that want to share ideas about Fedora.
My concern with that blog thing, is that I am wanting to share my
experience today with
Fedora users and other enthusiast of Linux, that today for the very first
time, I used Firejail
and I using it now to use the appimage of yesterday's nightly build of
Fedora 81.0, and I
am doing it in Rawhide, and that all the effort create a blog, and someone
might skim over
it a month from now and not find any relevance to it.
The other problem with blogging, is you have to be more careful with
grammar and you can't misspeak
about things. You can't tell people to go check out "Ferdora" in a
blog. LOL !
Please email me privately, to mentor me in this new journey.

P.S. Fedora is all about security, but they want to know my latitude and

Krita related / appimage related
by David
I have never ever used an appimage before until just now.
Earlier today, I saw on Phoronix that Krita had a new beta version.
So I went to their website, clicked on nightly build and could not find a
beta,
but did find an alpha. I downloaded
the Linux version which was an appimage.
I went to the Fedora Wiki about appimages and followed the 3 step guide to
using appimages
and was surprised how simple it was.
Krita 4.4 alpha works nominally on Fedora. so if there is a beta
somewhere, then I guess
it would too.
In order to try this new version of Krita,
one must understand the basic file system layout in Fedora which in my case
is: /david/Downloads/krita4.4.appimage
use cd command in terminal to change to Downloads
In my case, that was as simple as: $ cd Downloads
next easy step ( after the $ in terminal )
type chmod +x krita-4.4.0-alpha-x86_64.appimage
( you can cut and paste the file name to simplify that, as it has some
extra stuff in it )
Exit terminal, and go back to Files
Just double-click on the Krita appimage file in Files afterwards.
Please let me know if there is a simpler way. I imagine you might want
to move
it from Downloads directory to a temporary directory or an custom directory
that you
created for appimages ??

sort of Firefox related
by David
I did a new install of Rawhide a few days ago, and I just assumed that the
Firefox version was the most
recent or within a few weeks of the most recent.
I was pondering the idea of playing with Gnome Boxes, and decided I would
try to download an iso of
some other distro. When I logged on to Manjaro website, it immediately
gave me a large dialogue box that said
"your browser Version 78 is out of date."
So why could Fedora not tell me that ?
Anyways, I removed version 78 ( the rpm version ) and installed the flatpak
version, which is 80.
I am not up to date on the general consensus of using flatpaks in September
of 2020. I have no problem with flatpaks.
Now I have to set up all my web-stuff settings again.
Why would anybody want to use the rpm version of Firefox ? Limited
resources on their computer ??
While on the subject of flatpaks, what are some of the upcoming flatpak
apps to keep an eye out for ?
What are flatpaks are way above their rpm counterparts in development ?
Are future versions of Fedora ( 34, 35, etc. ) going to default to the
flatpak version of Firefox ?
My install of Rawhide has about 20 man-hours of usage, with no problems.
I hope to do an install
of 33 in a month or two.
On an unrelated topic,
the fans on my Radeon 5500XT, do not turn on except when booting up, but I
have not
tried to play a video game yet.
Cheers,

Flatpak related and Firefox
by David
Yesterday, I posted some questions about Firefox and Flatpak.
I am saddened to report, that I can not get anything to print from Firefox
using
the flatpak version from Flathub.
I have not deep-dived into this yet.
But I end up having to download the item and open it in Gnome Files,
and print from there.
So I answered another one of my questions the hard-way.
Newbies will likely encounter problems with flatpaks that they do not
understand,
nor know how to troubleshoot, and might even go as far as buying a copy
of Windows.
On a not-so-related note,
the other computer that I have access to is a ACER Chromebase computer (
not a Chromebook ),
and I love it. So unless you don't mind Google and the SEE-EYE-EHH
watching you, and you are not needing a powerful computer, I would recommend
at least playing with the LInux container in that ( assuming you are
willing to waste
$ 600 ). I guess you could always take it back to the store afterwards
and get a refund.

wifi related / Firefox related
by David
I posted something earlier about Firefox and flatpaks, and
after setting up my Firefox settings using the Fedora flatpak,
I realized that I had the same video-codec issue that others had written
about.
Realizing that all of that was all over my head, I removed Firefox and
reinstalled
the Flathub version, and all the video stuff seems to work.
Please do not shoot the messenger. I realize Fedora has
ideology about FOSS. So I answered one of my earlier questions. There
are reasons not to use the Fedora flatpak of Firefox, as I was able to get
the
repository version to work.
Disclaimer: I am in Rawhide and maybe some of the rpmfusion stuff for
Rawhide still has some kinks in it. Right ?
On a totally different note,
I purposely purchased a new X570 ASUS motherboard
without wi-fi, because of my unpleasant experience with Broadcom wi-fi
on my previous motherboards.
I purchased the ASUS PCE-AX58BT add-in card, and installed that
and whah-laa, my wi-f worked without having to do anything. It is
an expensive card, and I do not know if I am getting all the potential
of the card, as far as wi-fi speeds. I did an internet speed test,
( using my motels crappy wi-fi ) and it was a decent speed
( download 98 / upload 46 ). One advantage to going this route, is
that I could potentially upgrade my wi-fi in the future, if a new card came
out with
wi-fi 7 or wi-fiXT, LOL ! And they are relatively easy to install if
you have a spacious
case and a free slot. However, they might distract from the display of
your
video card, if you wanting to show off your fancy new ASUS RTX 3080.

how do I remove a word from my Thunderbird dictionary?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 32, x64
thunderbird-68.11.0-1.fc32.x86_64
I thought I'd ask this over here as there are
some really smart folks over here.
:-)
I want to remove "yo" from my dictionary. It is
not in my custom dictionary, so how do I get rid
of it from my standard dictionary?
Many thanks,

Strange package dependency tree
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
Can someone explain this to me?
# rpm -q --whatrequires redhat-rpm-config
fonts-srpm-macros-2.0.3-1.fc32.noarch
python-srpm-macros-3-58.fc32.noarch
R-core-4.0.2-1.fc32.x86_64
python27-2.7.18-2.fc32.x86_64
go-srpm-macros-3.0.9-1.fc32.noarch
root-cling-6.22.02-1.fc32.x86_64
How does R-core, python27, and root-cling depend on redhat-rpm-config?
Is this a packaging bug?
Thanks,
