Got the new version and there is no more API mismatch.
It's not so important for me, since i'm retired and i'm running this on my home computer.
But i think it needs more support from te dovecot group.
There a lot file protection issues nad lack of documentation on dovecot side.

networked sound via pipewire
by Greg Woods
Is this actually possible right now? Pipewire is under rapid development
which means the documentation out there on it rapidly becomes dated, so
I've been poking around for the past hour but haven't found anything that
would help me do what I want.
What I want to do is have some of my virtual machines send their output
over the network to my desktop. Not having audio from the VMs is limiting
what I can do with them. Can this be done with pipewire as it stands now?
Is it documented anywhere?
Thanks,

Using locate github
by Robert Moskowitz
I have a F32 system I am using with github. Yes, I know updating is
overdue....
Github has switched to person access tokens since the last time I used
it. I created my https PAT but can't seem to get the git command to use
it. It just uses my GIt ID and password which now gets rejected.
Any recommendation (other than updating to F34!) to get my "git push
origin" command to work?
It seems that there is a github-cli in beta, but does not seem to be an
option here.
thanks

Re: Failure in gsetting up a UEFI USB Flash with Fedora 33??
by Samuel Sieb
So the error message is "initramfs unpacking failed: no cpio magic". I
I guess you will need to repack your initramfs to be compatible with the
Fedora kernel.
Are you aware that there are various tools included with Fedora to help
you create live boot images?

cups is the worst software....
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I have several computers at home and one with an usr-printer attached.
I struggled sometimes to configure cups on other computers to use this
printer. Now I upgraded to f34, and the configuration no longer works:
"printer is misconfigured or no longer exists" is the answer if I send a
test page....
After deleting the printer, I try to use the discovery tool in the
administration page of cups (localhost:631) and it find the printer
attached to my main computer but at the end of the configuration, when I
try to print a test page, the answer is the same:
"printer is misconfigured or no longer exists"
This tool also finds old printers I configured many years ago and which
(really) non longer exist...
What to do?
Thank you.

Installation & EFI
by Gunnar Gervin
Hi all.
Where do I find a Fedora distro with EFI ?
In here cos heard & read that Fedora supports EFI boot.
I set wrongfully up my Macbook 2,1 OSX 10.6.8 (2007) x86-64 with Debian 32bit.
Because 32bit gets outdated and bnasically is wrong for the computer, I wanted 64bit.
But of some reason the computer only opens distros with EFI, like Bionic Pupp x86-64.
Fedora version I found only shows up a "Windows" cd image, no "EFI" cd image on the (right) side of it.
Heard that EFI is a boot installer, but unpopular because it comes (for free, but copyrighted(?)) from Microsoft(, & probably can't be changed).
Thus most installers in the end (e.g Refracta, in Devuan) claim the need of Grub, where to place Grub. Destroying all the installation work done.
This, due to my low knowledge, has made my computer unusable from the hard disk, only from RAM using a live Bionicpup x86-64 dvd. A friend said he was able to UEFI install Fedora. Checked online, found article that claimed Fedora as one distro supporting EFI in installing. But my computer can only open a distro with EFI image; no EFI gives only a blinking ? sign or a black irresponsive screen with: 1. 2. Boot option
I write this from my work computer. The EX Mac /Linux machine is needed 'only' for private; entertainment, friendly online contact, and writing.

OT: How to load kernels in EFI setup.
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have a project that I've maintained since 2004.
Have a simple process to add it to the regular grub boot
list using the 40_custom with the following lines.
menuentry G4L {
linux /bz5x13.14 root=/dev/ram0
initrd /ramdisk.lzma
}
Just copy the kernel and ramdisk.lzma to /boot and it
becomes an option in the grub menu.
Just had a use that got 140 new Dell machines, and they
seem to no longer support any bios boot?? So, EFI is the
only option.
Have the EFI kernel options set, but haven't found info on
how to make an efi boot. I've looked, but I've not seen
anything. Did find one page that talks about just copying
kernel files to the efi direct with a minor rename and
including System.map file, but doesn't say anything about
the filesystem?
Anyone know of a web page. Currently, the user is pulling
drive out, and connecting it to an older machine to make
images.
Thanks.
