downloading a complete web page without using a browser...
by dwoody5654＠gmail.com
I have been using a shell script called save-page-as.sh to download a complete
web page. This has been working as expected.
The relevant line the the script is:
"${browser}" "-new-window" "${url}" &>/dev/null
I now need the ability to run this program or another program via email to my
computer from other locations. I do not have the option to login remotely.
The save-page-as.sh program runs firefox. I have not been able to get this to
work using email. env shows DISPLAY=:0.0. I have added each of the Display
commands as below:
export DISPLAY:0
export DISPLAY:0.0
export DISPLAY:0.1
None of those have worked.
the url I am trying to download does not have an extension ie. no '.htm' such
as:
https://my.acbl.org/club-results/details/338288
wget does not download the correct web page.
Appreciate any pointers to get the save-page-as.sh working using a browser or a
different command line program.

DNF not Installing all Updates?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have just done a sudo dnf upgrade on F34 which I think upgraded
1311 packages. After the update finished I rebooted F34 and then ran
discovery and it was still telling me there was 628 MB of F34 Platform
updates to put on, which I did put on. Why is dnf not installing all
updates that are available? Is there a configuration that needs to be
done to alleviate this that is not done in an "out of the box" install,
or, is this telling me that we shouldn't be doing updates with dnf we
should be using Discovery instead?
regards,
Steve

F34: volumeicon does not work since last week's updates
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
After last week's updates, I have the following issue with volumeicon:
$ volumeicon
snd_mixer_handle_events: No such file or directory
It used to "work fine" before late last week (I update nightly). How do I get around this?
Many thanks in advance for any help and best wishes,

NM, wpa_supplicant flooding error log
by Jon LaBadie
Laptop running F34 with an "Intel Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC]"
controller.
Every 10 seconds I get this error message (/var/log/messages):
wpa_supplicant[78893]: wlo1: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22
A websearch shows this is not an uncommon problem though most
see it every 1 second, not 10 seconds. I've tried numerous
suggested solutions that were all ineffective (reboot after
changes). These included:
- downgrading wpa_supplicant (none available)
- downgrading NM (restored current)
- eliminating all NM interfaces except the active one
- eliminated the ethernet (wired) NM interface
- several .conf changes for NM and wpa_supplicant
Still the messages keep coming (200K+).
Any suggestions?

Windows 11 KVM and video?
by Tom Horsley
I notice another requirement for Windows 11 is DirectX 12.
Qemu KVMs have never (as far as I know) gotten any kind of
3d video acceleration. Won't that also put a crimp in
Windows 11 KVMs?

Creating a user-level systemd unit
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I'm trying to get a specific service to start on login, and the usual
method (KDE Autostart) isn't working so I'm trying to do it with a
systemd unit:
$ cat startinsync.service
[Unit]
Description=insync-headless service
After=default.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh /usr/bin/insync-headless start
KillSignal=SIGINT
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
The docs say that the place to put the unit file is given by:
$ pkg-config systemd --variable=systemduserunitdir
/usr/lib/systemd/user
So I copied the file there:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/user/startinsync.service
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 177 Jun 29 12:31 /usr/lib/systemd/user/startinsync.service
and tried to enable it:
$ sudo systemctl enable startinsync
Failed to enable unit: Unit file startinsync.service does not exist.
I'm out of ideas.
