conflict between mythtv and rtl-sdr
by Eyal Lebedinsky
After a recent update which installed
rtl-sdr-0.6.0-9.fc34.x86_64
mythbackend failed to see the tuners. This was caused by these permissions:
crw-rw----+ 1 root rtlsdr 212, 3 Jun 20 23:10 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
set by
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/10-rtl-sdr.rules
and mythbackend is not a member of rtlsdr group.
There seems to be a conflict between mythtv-backend and rtl-sdr. How should this be resolved?
Is it proper for one package (rtl-sdr) to take ownership of these devices?
ATM I just change the permissions of dvb tuners from rc.local but this is not ideal.
Or I could add mythtv user to rtlsdr group.
TIA

Fedora-34 breaks KDE pager
by Jonathan Ryshpan
In versions up to Fedora-34, dragging a window icon in the pager from
one desktop to another used to move the related window from that
desktop to the other. This no longer works. Has the function been
removed or is there some option that needs to be set (or whatever)?
Platform: Fedora-34
KDE Plasma: 5.22.2
KDE Framework: 5.83.0
Graphics: Wayland

pipewire / loopback
by Frank Elsner
Hi all,
after upgrading my X230i my sound configuration has a loopback interface that
attracted attention with a feedback. I had to set the volume to zero for playback
and recording to stop the feedback.
What is this for? And how do I get rid of this?
Greetings,

packagekitd Hogging CPU
by Tim Evans
$ uname -a
Linux harrier 5.12.11-300.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 16 15:47:58 UTC

As I sit here, my Lenovo T530 laptop is reporting packagekitd is taking
anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of CPU, per 'top.' There is continuous
disk activity. Nothing going on with the system other than Thunderbird
e-mail and Chrome browser.
This seems to go on, with CPU percentage growing over time, and it
rebooting cures this, but it comes back after the system has slept
overnight (lid closed).
packagekit is gnome-packagekit-common-3.32.0-7.fc34.x86_64

Tor killed my other browsers; Name or service not known;
uninstalling does not help
by toddandmargo
Hi All,
Fedora 34
Xfce 4.14
I am in real trouble here. My business is most shutdown over this.
My browsers, Thunderbird, and ping won't work. Nothing
that used the Internet worked. Well, almost.
I can not find anything about this issue on Google or Duck Duck Go.
After installing Tor yesterday, all was well. Tor Browser worked well
and all my other browsers and eMail continued to work
along side it. I was happy. But that was about to change.
After booting up this morning, only Tor Browser and Brave in Tor mode
worked.
ALL my qemu-kvm virtual machines work perfectly (I am writing this
from one of them and I despise web mail).
`host xxxx` worked.
$ host gbis.com
gbis.com has address 207.228.37.200
gbis.com mail is handled by 0 mx.greatbasin.net.
`ping host-name` did not
$ ping gbis.com
ping: gbis.com: Name or service not known
If I look up the IP address with "host" and used that instead,
`ping IP` worked. All my browser also worked with the IP
address. "traceroute" only works with IP as well.
So I removed Tor:
$ rm -rf ./.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US
# dnf remove tor torbrowser-launcher torsocks
$ rm -rf ./.local/share/torbrowser
$ rm -rf ./.cache/torbrowser
$ rm -rf ./.config/torbrowser
# rm -rf /etc/tor
Reboot. No change.
What the <expletive deleted> is going on? And how do I recover
my machine?
Many thanks,
-T

Verifying Fedora-34
by Jonathan Ryshpan
While verifying my download of Fedora-34, I encounter this message:
$ gpg --verify-files *-CHECKSUM
gpg: Signature made Fri 23 Apr 2021 12:36:44 PM PDT
gpg: using RSA key
8C5BA6990BDB26E19F2A1A801161AE6945719A39

I surmise this means that my computer's list of trusted signatures
needs to be brought up to date (actually it may not even exist). How
can this be done? A link to info would suffice.
