no sound
by Michael Hennebry
I'm running gnome on F35.
When I play a movie, I can see people talking,
but cannot hear them talking.
The sound icon on both gnome and on the
movie players (plural) indicate I have sound.
Technically I have sound.
I have the 60-cycle hum that is the reason I
rarely use this computer when I want sound.
It is also the reason that I do
not know when the problem started.
How do I figure out how to fix this?
I've had sound issues before.
It was always a mighty struggle.

old repo question
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have to dig out Wine version 6 from Fedora 35's
repo (Wine 7 is an absolute disaster).
Question: how long will I be able to use the
dnf's `--releasever=35` option? How long are
the defunct repo's maintained?
Many thanks,

Trying to get apache to run on two interfaces.. But get errors. Probable doing something wrong? or impossible. Thanks
by Michael D. Setzer II
Was trying to get the apache to run on two interfaces,
and thought it was work on both,
but checked and it wasn't running on either?
The two networks. One a wired on motherboard
connection, and another being a USB wireless 5G
enp2s0:
flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
inet 192.168.16.104 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.16.255
wlp0s18f2u3:
flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
inet 192.168.24.14 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.24.255
The error message in messages was.
Oct 29 17:13:56 setzco setroubleshoot[1438]: SELinux is
preventing httpd from name_bind access on the
tcp_socket port 8081.
Had two Listen lines in httpd.conf but commented the
second one and it is working on that ip/port.
Listen 192.168.16.104:8081
#Listen 192.168.24.104:8081
Have a cable modem, and each port on it gets a different
public IP.
The public IPs of two wireless/wired routers
xxx.xxx.234.251 (Netgear 2.4/5 newer)
xxx.xxx.233.11 (BLINK 2.5 older)
Was trying to get both options working before moving
things to the newer router.
Have a dyndns name setup for each router mapped so
accessing the public IP on port 8081 would map to port
on machine.
Has worked fine for many years, and public IP on old
router has not changed for many years, though it isn't
static?
Seems ISP blocks many ports on non-static IPs, but port
8081 worked fine and still does.
So questions:
Can apache work with 2 different IPs or can it only listen
to one? Is doing it with two Listen lines wrong, is syntax
wrong.
The USB 5G wireless doesn't work with default kernels,
had to download git source code, and build modual for
each kernel update.
Regular customer support of ISP doesn't have tech info.
Probable need to get ahold of real tech at ISP, and
probable get static IPs.
Use to have a Linux machine that had 9 ethernet ports
long ago. One connected to College Backbone, and 8
other ports connected to 8 different classrooms.
Back then the college backbone as 100M and clasroom
were 100M as well (long ago). So classrooms ran on
private IP blocks for each, and used a squid server that
was seeing a 40% cache hit ratio.
Retired after 36+ years at college.
Had another server on backbone that was running all the
web and ftp stuff..

Using old kernel, all is good, while with newer kernels, nothing is possible
except via remote login - no video, no keyboard.
I reported similar trouble in Bugzilla month ago with much older Radeon:

Are others with GCN2 graphics having this trouble?

802.1x Reauth with linux bridge not working - NetworkManager does not
reply to get identiy
by Paul Steinlechner
We are trying to implement 802.1x on our Fedora-Workstations (36, latest updates) for both, the workstation itself and a
Windows KVM Guest. Therefor we created a linux bridge with the physical and virtual device as members. The virtual kvm
guest has been configured to use the br0 within kvm. To make 802.1x Link Local frames passing the bridge to the actual
interfaces we configured the group_fw_mask.
Both, the guest and the host system are able to authenticate them via 802.1x. Also the Windows Guest is able to
reauthenticate (the switch forces a reauth every 2h), but not the linux host. The wireshark trace shows, that the switch is
sending the request identiy frame (Type identity(1)), but the host system is not responding to it. Packet can be seen on
bridge br0 and slave interface enp0s31f6, so the bridge is working. For me it seems that the network manager does ignore
these packets. If I do a setup without a bridge the network manager response to the request identiy frame and everything is
working.
When i reup the connection, the 802.1x auth process starts with an eapol start and works as expected. Only the reauth is not
working.
Below you find my configurations – any help appreciated.

Firefox and WebAuthn?
by Chris Adams
I can use my Android phone with Google Chrome (connected with Bluetooth)
as a WebAuthn security device. When I try to register a WebAuthn device
with Firefox, I get a pop-up that says:
<site> wants to register an account with one of your security keys.
You can connect and authorized one now, or cancel.
And the only option is "Cancel" - I don't see a way to actually register
anything. Is there a way to use WebAuthn with Firefox on Fedora?

Bugs in wine. Any alternatives?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I am getting tired of all the endless bugs in Wine.
These are the current one that are screwing me.
Printing an envelope from Lotus Approach crashes Approach
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53425
can't find the power key when opening an Approach database
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53830
And it keeps getting worse and worse and worse
every new release.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!
Are there ANY alternatives to Wine (and Code Weavers)?
And yes I know that Wine is ransonware. I can not
possibly put one or more of their developers on my
payroll. I can barely put food on my table with
this endless recession and inflation.
-T
p.s. I have been relegated to running Approach
in qemu-kvm Windows 10. YUK! YUK! YUK!

Mailing lists and Discourse
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Many (perhaps all) of the gnome.org mailing lsits are being moved to
Discourse. This apparently is a decision made by the Gnome Foundation
and has caused a good deal of consternation on at least some of said
lists. I speak mainly for the Evolution list but I think the same is
true on at least some others. Some of the discussion can be seen at:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/thread.html
There are two main points of contention:
1) Most members of these lists were not aware of the coming change
until very recently. I am a moderator of the Evolution list and knew
nothing about it before others.
2) In some ways many of us consider the Discourse platform to be
significantly inferior to a mailing list. It does offer a mailing list
interface but in several respects it is inadequate. I refer you to this
post which goes into some detail:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/msg00276.html
It appears that the gnome.org is hosted by RedHat, which is a member of
the Gnome Foundation. That being the case, I would like to know if
there is any danger (I use the word advisedly) of this list and others
in the Fedora ecosphere suffering the same fate.

Grub Background Image not Displayed in Grub Boot Menu
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have the following default config file in /etc/default/grub, and
I have issued the grub2-mkconfig command to update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
which confirms that it found the background image, and when I look at
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg it contains the necessary command to load png
support and contains the background-image command to load the referenced
image file, but the background does not display when the grub menu does,
what am I missing? I've had used the grub-customizer app, without doing
any config changes, and it successfully load the image from the
specifications in /etc/default/grub.
