pavucontrol and 5.1 audio.
by Steve Underwood 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hi, I've just started using 5.1 audio on a Fedora 33 machine for the first time, and I have an issue with pavucontrol. I have pipewire installed on this machine. If I select the "Output Devices" tab, and unlock the volume control for the 5.1 audio device, I see 6 controls, with these labels: Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, Front Center and Subwoofer These labels seem appropriate, and as I adjust the controls the volume of the appropriate channel changes. However, if I go to the "Playback" tab, and unlock the volume control for the application (I'm trying this with VLC), I see 6 controls with the these labels: Front Left, Front Right, Side Left, Side Right, Front Center and Subwoofer Those "side" labels seem like something for a 7.1 device, not a 5.1 device. As I adjust the controls they are mixed up, as follows: Front Left controls the front left channel (i.e. OK) Front right controls the front right channel(i.e. OK) Side Left controls the front centre channel Side Right controls the subwoofer channel Front Center controls the rear left channel Subwoofer controls rear right channel I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if there might be some configuration problem on my machine. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Regards, Steve

A question about the two package managers in fedora
by Cisco Tissera 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hello everyone, For quite random reasons, I was wondering what would happen if I completely removed yum, and only used dnf. Is it possible to do that? or would it totally break the system? Another question: why keep two package managers, and not switch to dnf and just keep dnf? Sorry if my questions might sound stupid, but I'm quite curious. Thanks for any answer. Best regards. Francisco.

how to scale Gnome to user defined percentage
by Anil F Duggirala 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

hello, I am struggling more than enjoying the high-DPI display on my new laptop. Gnome allows me to scale my display, to 200, 300, 400 %. Is there an easy way to scale to 250% for example? Does scaling like this in Gnome affect peformance of displaying? thank you,

OT: diagnosing download problem
by Geoffrey Leach 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Configuration: Fedora 32 with Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router talking to Hughes satellite. Problem: Connecting (only) to Amazon, (any) page hangs attempting to download (apparently) an image from images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com. Download succeeds for a dozen or so jpegs, then it hangs. Problem appears to be independent of browser (chrome, firefox) and OS (happens on (gasp) Windows 7 also). Traceroute images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com shows the round trip time to suddenlink.net around 2000 ms. So why am I bothering the list? It's Amazon's problem, after all. Question: are there any settings on my end that might be tweaked to get around the problem? Is there any way to diagnose the problem on my end? Thanks.
