HP laptop and wifi on Fedora 35 fix wifi adapter.
by Cătălin George Feștilă
After the upgrade with F35, I got some errors on wifi.
Now I saw the adapter is not shown but is listed on hardware.
If I press the wifi button then start the airplane mode and is set to on.
How can be fixed?

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry
I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install.
I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run.
The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it.
None of the default options for Brother printers came close.
The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things:
Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs.
Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page.
The printer never comes out of deep sleep.
How do I fix this?
It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did.
In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to
installing a printer on Linux:
Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort.
I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts.
BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided?

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj
Hi all:
I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on.
The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly.
I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I
suspect a bad battery, working on that.)
After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot
right after "Starting Switch Root..."
I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal,
but I didn't see anything obvious to help.
I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so
that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and
reload too quickly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

OT: Thinkpad X1 carbon delays?
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I am/was thinking to get a Fedora installed Thinkpad (would be my first
Linux pre-installed) and the delay is... huge! I'm getting it from the
US and see 3+ months, but can't buy it. I have a good friend willing to
buy it on my behalf who tells me he sees 7+ months delay.
What's your experience with Lenovo US and the shipment delays?
Thank you.

LUKS on shutdown.
by murph nj
I'm having an issue shutting down. Fedora 34, just updated to 35, same
problem. (It was around in 33 as well, I've been putting up with it.) I
know that there is another list for beta versions, but this issue was there
in the current version as well.
Somewhere around 1 out of every 10 shutdowns, the system goes down to
"[ OK ] Reached target System Shutdown", but then,
"[ *** ] a stop job is running for Cryptography setup for luks-<cycle
through LUKS volumes>"
It typically goes for about 1/2 hour if I don't get fed up, and hold the
power button down.
I just saw after that 1/2 hour:
[Time] Timed out starting System Reboot
Forcibly Rebooting: job timed out.
audit: type=1334.........
I still had to power it off. On reboot, it seems OK.
I haven't found anything interesting in /var/log/messages regarding it.
Any suggestions to further troubleshooting?
Thanks,

stream TO airplay/sonos
by SternData
I see a bunch of tools that let my desktop act as an airplay receiver,
but I'm having no google-fun finding a tool that lets use my Sonos
system as speakers for the desktop.
Ideas?

Disable Screensaver / Window Positions
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora35 desktop with three monitors using Cinnamon standard,
I believe.
After the screensaver is activated and I then press a key to restore
the display, all the windows from the center monitor have shifted to
the left monitor. Why does this happen?
Also, how do I even disable the screensaver? I've tried the
"screensaver" applet in "System Settings", but there's no toggle to
actually disable it, only to be able to control the delay before
starting the screensaver.
Perhaps you even have another desktop besides Cinnamon that you
recommend, and is better than the default GNOME? There are other
problems I have with it, like when using "remote desktop viewer" to
view my Windows VM, ALT keypresses are interpreted by the viewer and
not passed on to Windows.
Thanks,
Alex
