Mail Reader -
by Bob Goodwin
I have Mail Reader listed in the menu on this computer. Can someone
tell me what the procedure is to make it read/speak some text?
It does not respond to the same number pad keys as Orca. Orca might
work if I could adjust the voice to something intelligible, the
default;;t seems to lose syllables from each word.
As it is I have to use an iPad and ask Siri to read messages. Not a good
system for me.

highest time to have Signal - no?
by lejeczek
hi everybody.
I see some good folks prepped Signal in "copr" but I'd say -
if any maintainer/developer is reading - it's the highest
time we had Fedora's official build of "Signal" available - no?

auditd log processing tools?
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora33 system and would like to get more involved with
auditd. I understand the basics, but are there any tools to process
the audit.log file, to make it easier to process, read and display?
How about acting on specific events? What if I wanted to be alerted
somehow when sudo was run more than five times in some period? Perhaps
logwatch?
I've seen references to using it with splunk but are there open source
alternatives?
I'm also aware of aureport, which appears to be great for producing
summary reports, and maybe an event report, but what do people do with
this information to make it useful?
How do admins normally act on the information in the logs? Are they
just using it to investigate a specific event, such as when privileges
are escalated for some reason or ssh is being used?
It's otherwise just too much information - who cares that ssh is being
used or sudo was run, unless you thought that functionality was
disabled, for example.
Thanks,
Alex

Plasma on Xorg Fails to Start After Last System Update
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Three days ago I did a dnf system upgrade to apply all available
Fedora updates. I have now tried to start Plasma under Xorg, but it now
refuses to start with a crash in ksplashqml, and if I press
ctrl-alt-delete to try to logout the ksmserver-greeter also crashes.
Plasma under Wayland runs quite happily albeit without resolution
scaling. Gnome under Wayland runs fine without scaling and Gnome under
Xorg also runs fine. How do I determine why the apps are failing with
Plasma under Xorg now?
regards,
Steve

F32 not booting
by GianPiero Puccioni
Hi,
yesterday my laptop with F32 didn't boot.
It goes in emergency mode and creates a rdsosreport file
I usually don't do this but this time when I installed F I let the system create
the partitions and I think it's LVM with XFS but I'm not sure of the latter and
I am not familiar with this method.
Is there something to do to try to recover something about this, like the
files from /home as of course the USB stick I used for backups went crazy too
and I could recover only a fraction of it. It doesn't seem that it was the HD
that want all bad as the Win10 partition still works.
If I run lvm_scan I get this:
Scanning devices sda7 for LVM logical volumes fedora_shure/root fedora_shure/swap
ACTIVE '/dev/fedora_shure/root' [50.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/fedora_shure/swap' [<3.88 GiB] inherit
inactive '/dev/fedora_shure/home' [<166.95 GiB] inherit
and in /dev/fedora_shure there is only root and swap
I'll attach both the rdsosreport and output of journalctl(as suggested by the
error message)
Thanks for any help
GiP
P.S. I sent this before but it went into "moderation" as it exceeded the 60K
limit, I gzipped the attachments and it should be fine now.

What does this smartd nonsense mean?
by Tom Horsley
In my logwatch this morning (for the first time that I remember):
--------------------- Smartd Begin ------------------------
**Unmatched Entries**
Device: /dev/nvme0, --capabilites is set, mail will be suppressed. : 2 time(s)
Device: /dev/nvme1, --capabilites is set, mail will be suppressed. : 2 time(s)
Device: /dev/nvme2, --capabilites is set, mail will be suppressed. : 2 time(s)
What on earth does that mean? Google didn't seem to find any
examples of that message.

Trying to see if Firefox pem/certs can be used for the "curl" cmd
by bruce
Hi.
This is a bit off-topic. But I thought I might throw it out here.
Curl has the ability to use certs from the Browser. Trying to research
and figure out how to accomplish this.
Various sites discuss, but haven't seen a step by step process. So
before I start testing thought I'd ask here
thanks!

wireguard not restarting trouble
by Neal Becker
I've been using wireguard for a point-to-point connection for over 1
year. Twice I've had an issue where it stopped working and didn't
restart on it's own. Fortunately I have a backup openvpn connection.
It appear that the local router was rebooted and for some reason
failed it's dyndns update, which caused both the wireguard and openvpn
connection to stop working, because the remote (which is initiating
both of these vpn connections) can't find the correct public IP to
connect.
Manually fixing the dyndns, I found that after some time (the next
morning) the openvpn connection was working. But not wireguard.
Using openvpn I had to restart wireguard on the remote using systemctl
restart wg-quick@wg0.
This makes the second time that wireguard has gotten stuck and failed
to repair itself. Good thing I still have openvpn as a backup.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Neal
