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,

F34 pipewire no audio after updates
by Michael Schwendt
Am I the only one where audio is missing after recent updates to F34?
The three pipewire processes are running, but no sound. No volume control
in GNOME Shell either.

slow startup process and dmesg times
by Anil F Duggirala
hello,
I am looking at output from dmesg on my laptop and there appears to be a
time when a process takes longer than what might be expected and I think
this may be reducing my startup speed.
My question is, is it normal for there to be a jump in time (timestamp)
from 7 seconds to 18 seconds. And then from 21 seconds to 30 seconds?
Are these processes slowing down my startup?
dmesg output:

thank you.

Extreme startup delay on F34
by John Mellor
What's wrong here? This is a fully up-to-date and stock F34 machine
with a good i5 processor, lots of RAM and a fast SSD, with a very long
and inexplicable time delay during boot. It appears to be idle for 2
minutes during every startup, with no known cause. This machine used to
boot in 8 seconds, but now takes over 2 minutes every time.
dmesg extract follows:

nsswitch.conf again
by Eyal Lebedinsky
This was brought up before, but today again it bit me. There was a glibc update (fc34)
which provides a new nsswitch.conf with this line
hosts: files myhostname resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
which caused all the aliases I had for my server to fail because my local dns was not looked up.
Had to again remove the '[!UNAVAIL=return]' stanza.
Is this issue being fixed? I found this
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1717384
which suggests nsswitch.conf will become a fedora file (not glibc) and hopefully better, but this log
has now been open for a long time.

scanner no longer detected?
by Tom Horsley
I was surprised recently when I tried xsane and discovered that
it actually worked these days on my Epson Artisan 725 connected
via the network.
But I tried to use it again today, and found that xsane claims
it can't find any scanners.
I cranked up the Windows virtual machine and it talked to
it just fine.
Was fedora just teasing me the other day?
Any way to build in the known scanner IP addr instead of
relying on it scanning for devices?
I tried adding the IP addr to /etc/sane.d/net.conf, but nothing
changed.
