sddm missing pieces
by Robert McBroom
With sddm as the display manager for a f35 system get a black screen
with a mouse cursor but limited response to the keyboard. Can only
switch to an alternate screen and then enter commands. Can use lightdm.
Don't see anything wrong in sddm.conf. Is sddm tied to wayland and won't
run in X11 ?

Unable to Add Printer in Fedora 35
by Richard Kimberly Heck
I'm trying to add my Brother DL-5450DN printer in a new installation of
Fedora 35. No matter what I do, I get this error:
Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info
from the printer
It's discovered just fine, and I've not had anything like this problem
previously. Any suggestions?

sudo / su with GUI apps - ?
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
How do you get your Firefox to run/work with different user?
I'm thinking obvious - sudo, su - kind of 'runas' with
windows OS.
many thanks, L

kdevelop:: pycodestyle not found
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! I have a weird problem with kdevelop: after upgrade to f35 kdevelop no longer finds pycodestyle..
in the terminal output i get:
kdevelop.plugins.python.parser: Discarding parts of the code to be parsed because of previous errors
IndentationError: unexpected indent (<kdev-editor-contents>, line 108)
---- Parsing FAILED ----
python code checker error: "The `pycodestyle` (previously `pep8`) module is not installed."
but i have both:
root@hal: ~ # rpm -qa | grep pycodestyle
python3-pycodestyle-2.7.0-2.fc35.noarch
and user side installation:
pip3 freeze | grep pycodestyle
pycodestyle==2.8.0
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? or encountered this?
Thank you!

F35 - zram on auto install?
by Robert Moskowitz
With all this memory work I have been doing I finally noticed that free
was reporting 24GB swap:
# free
total used free shared buff/cache
available
Mem: 15625916 7018872 6765700 109108 1841344 8162532
Swap: 25165816 0 25165816
Thing is I only have 16GB in my swap partition:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Disk model: WDC WDBNCE5000PN
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xa3fd40f9

/dev/sda5 182456320 976773119 794316800 378.8G 83 Linux
OK. What is happening. I remember Ed's comment about him using zram,
so I did some digging and find:
# swapon --show
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda3 partition 16G 0B -2
/dev/zram0 partition 8G 0B 100
Um, I did not know I set up zram? How did that happen. Is zram now
part of the basic Fedora install?
It has been a while my using zram. How do I disable it for now? With
16GB real memory and 16GB real swap partition, I want to see how things
are working...
thanks

ssd keeps dying??
by Neal Becker
I've had a workstation (dual amd rome) for about 2 years. The M2 ssd died
after about 1 year. I replaced it with a samsung 980 pro, which then
lasted almost 1 more year. Then I replaced it with a 1TB samsung 980 pro,
this time with heat sink. This lasted a few weeks. I had been looking at
smart nvme data and saw no problems, temp was fine.
Now it's dead again. I can ssh to the machine. I can cat /proc/partitions
and no nvme shown. I can only issue a couple of commands (I guess whatever
is builtin to bash?), but almost all just give I/O error. no sudo or
journatctl.
The machine is only used for compute, not heavy I/O so not caused by ssd
wear (and smartctl showed no wear at all).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neal

gnome-shell-extension-window-list
by Winfried de Heiden
Hi all,
Sice a couple of days, the Gnome Shell Extension "Window List" seems
broken; the icons are missing. Switching the extension off and on will
make icons appear again. However, after opening a new application, the
(new) icons is missing.
On https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions someone is
facing exactly the same problem.
Is someone aware of this problem?
Workaround available?
I cannot find a Bugzilla on this, so I will create one...

Regex version mismatch after dnf update
by Robert Moskowitz
Did a dnf update this morning before updating my bios and installing
more memory (more on that in a separate missive)
I saw some messages during the update process about "Regex version
mismatch" but it said it completed successfully. I did my hardware
changes, booted back into F35. Went to root to check out the hardware
changes are right after using "su -" to get into root I get the
following messages.
