dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress'
by Neal Becker
I guess I had tried to add lz4_compress to kernel install, but must have
done something wrong. Now with every kernel update I get:
Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64
127/127
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'lz4_compress'
dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D
/var/tmp/dracut.mSA6DG/initramfs --kerneldir
/lib/modules/5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64/ -m lz4 lz4_compress
I previously created /etc/dracut.d/lz4.conf:
add_drivers+=" lz4 lz4_compress "
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Neal

keyboard response time
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I guess that there is a way to adjust the response time of the keyboard
when dialing.
It has dramatically increased after I tuned off the PC in suspend mode.
Thanks.

no keyboard
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
A strange bahavior.
This after, my laptop was working correctly.
I turned it on suspend mode, and when I recover (normayy) , I did not have any
keyboard responding.
I turned off the computer, and restarted it.
The behavior every times: I can login (in graphics mode) by dialing my password,
and then again, the keyboard is not active anymore.
The only thing that I can do, is to logout, and there, the keyboard comes
back active again.
I can log in with a tty terminal, and run startx.
It fails, but I get:

I looks like that the commented line in incorrect. However, it always runned like that. Then, I
doubt than that it is the issue.

Firefox unable to play online videos
by Frank McCormick
I am running Fedora 32 up to date. It is a relatively
new install and I noticed a few days ago Firefox is unable
to play any online videos, including those on CNN.COM and Foxnews.com as
well as other sites.
I get various errors including error #4 from CNN. On foxnews
the circular loading image just continues forever.
I noticed Saturday I believe Firefox was updated to 80.0.1.2 but I don't
recall whether it was able to handle online video
before the update.
How can I debug this?
Thanks

Virtual terminals - no VISIBLE I/O
by Jon LaBadie
On Fedora 32 Workstation.
My VTs are functional but there is not visible indication
of I/O. By that I mean, I get no login or password prompt.
But I can blindly login. I get no shell prompt. But I
can blindly enter commands that run but they show no output
in the VT.
The VT system is controlled by systemD. After a boot and upon
graphical login this is the status:
$ systemctl | grep getty
system-getty.slice loaded active active system-getty.slice
getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts
A "ps -ef | grep getty" gives no output
After I try to access VT #3 (<Ctl><Alt><Fn3>) without logging in,
I get an additional line from the above command:
getty(a)tty3.service loaded active running Getty on tty3
And the ps pipe gives this:
root 4237 1 0 13:23 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux
I didn't think the display manager would affect the VT system, but
just in case I tried gdm, sddm, lightdm. No differences.
Any clue as to why there seems to be no video connection to the VTs?

wifi not found
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I have no Wi-fi adapter found.
It is an
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
This device used to run properly in the past.
The driver (I guess that the correct)
iwl7260-firmware-25.30.13.0-111.fc32.noarch
is installed
Any Idea?

XWayland's scaling while left scaling for Wayland appliations on, I
can't find a docunment about how to do this anywhere, can any one help
me?
Cheers,
