packages: where does x come from?
by jtagcat jtagcat
I've looked on multiple occasions for a 'dnf whomaintains', or a section in info containing 'source' or maintainer.
Let's take an example:
$ dnf info kubernetes-client
Source : kubernetes-1.20.5-1.fc34.src.rpm
Repository : @System
From repo : fedora
URL : https://k8s.io/kubernetes
(...License, Description, Size, Architecture, Version, Release, Summary)
How or where do I make a suggestion? Can I send a patch/PR to the automated build process, if there is one?

What I see is (1) on a new message, the send button is greyed out, but if I clear the Bcc field it *appears* to become active and (2) on a reply, the Send button is greyed out, but clearing Bcc doesn't do anything to the Send button. In BOTH cases, the Send button--whether it appears active or not--does nothing.

Thanks. I guess I've been unclear. I CANNOT send any e-mail with Thunderbird 91 under any circumstances. New, reply, doesn't matter. Nothing will send. Either the Send button is greyed out (on replies) or does nothing (new messages).
The Bcc thing is just possibly a clue, but it doesn't alter this fact.

laptop remains on after closing lid
by Anil F Duggirala
Hello,
I have been experiencing an issue on sporadic occasions. Having worked
on my laptop, I close the lid and expect it to suspend. An hour later I
open the lid, I see that it is on (not suspended) and am shown a black
screen and the laptop is smoking hot (really hot). I hard shutdown turns
the system off (havent tried any other way to get the system working
because the temperature is so high I get scared, I dont really remember
if the fans were on at this point, although I believe they are not
because the temperature is really high).
This has happened a few times, but is not happening always. How can I
test suspend action when laptop lid is closed? How can I test the laptop
lid close sensor is working? What can I do if this happens again? Is
there a way to log temperatures to make sure the system is shutting down
when high temperatures are reached?
System: Fedora WS 34 on Dell XPS 15 with 4K touchscreen (this screen is
heavy and I believe could generate a lot of heat too if it is left on).
thank you,

Keyboard shortcuts in VMware under Wayland
by Matti Pulkkinen
Hello,
When I try to run a VMware virtual desktop, my keyboard shortcuts (such as alt+tab) are all intercepted by the host OS (Fedora 34 Workstation) rather than going to the virtual desktop. This only happens if I'm using Wayland on the host OS, and goes away if I switch to Xorg. Looking around on the web, I saw a hint that if I go to Gnome's Settings and look for VMware under Applications, there would be a switch I can flip to enable VMware to capture the keyboard shortcuts. There wasn't one. I also found a hint that adding the window's WM_CLASS to org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules might help, but it did not. Any other ideas on how I could get this to work? It's extremely inconvenient to use a virtual desktop when all my shortcuts go to the host. I'm very close to being able to use Wayland for everything, and it'd be nice to be able to knock down the last few obstacles before Gnome decides to deprecate running under Xorg.

Disable touchpad tap to click in XFCE
by Sam Varshavchik
This almost feels like a ritual that I go through every 3-4 years: figure
out how to disable the laptop's obnoxious touchpad from registering phantom
tap clicks.
This time around Google claims XFCE's "Mouse and Touchpad" settings has a
checkbox for that. Google also gives instructions for using synclient, which
appears to be obsolete.
So, what's the right procedure for this (this year)?

Firefox so bad on a remote with 'ssh -YC'
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
Those of you guys who happen to have remote f34 systems - do
your remote Firefox via 'ssh -YC' like mine is 'unusable'?
Mine hangs almost immediately, has only brief moments when
becomes responsive and the reason why I paint specifically
Firefox as the villain is such, that Chrome and Chrome based
web browsers, eg. Brave, Chromium, Vivaldi, all work okey.
thanks, L.

Virt-manager issues.
by Erik P. Olsen
Hi,
1. I am getting the following error message: "Error launching libguestfs appliance:" and
there is nothing after the colon. What is it and does it matter?
2. I can't save the domain, It's apparently trying to save it into
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/win10.save but there is no space left on device.
Is there a way to specify a path to a device with enough space?
