RPMFusion Repositories not Activated at F36 Install Time
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
As part of the install of F36 from the live CD I have, there is a
question asking whether or not to install 3rd party repositories. I have
done the install twice and replied to the message in the affirmative
both times, and all that did was enable the rpmfusion nvidia and steam
repositories, it did not enable the rpmfusion-nonfree nor the
rpmfusion-free repositories, I had to actually install them manually.
Why, as I assumed the 3rd party repositories were the rpmfusion ones?
regards,
Steve

switch user with audio/sound - ?
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
How, if possible at all, to get audio/sound work when you
switched to a different user?
I'm thinking here of 'sudo' & 'su' but would be happy of any
other way to run GUI apps with user ID different from
currently "normally" logged in.
many thanks, L.

Sound distorted (new, F36)
by Neal Becker
I've got a lenovo laptop x1 carbon 2017 which has been working fine for
years on the latest fedora versions. The sound survived to update to F36.
But something in an update in the past several weeks has broken it. When I
try to conference with other users, they report my sound is distorted, even
though I've set the mic gain pretty low. Their sound is rather low even
though I've set volume 150%. As I said, I've been using this setup for
years without these issues.
I'm using KDE and sound profile is "built-in audio pro".
I believe the sound is OK when using ear buds.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neal

Epiphany not playing video in-page but doesn't play the direct video
link
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I'm having a weird issue with Epiphany, where a website having a mp4
video as background doesn't not play, but the direct link to the video
plays inside Epiphany.
Searching the web gave me old results from 5 years ago or more, and I
did install gstreamer1-libav to see. This didn't fix the issue.
Any idea what could be happening?
Thank you.

tikz calligraphy on F36
by Ranjan Maitra
HI,
I have not used the tikz calligraphy for a while, but this did work on this machine about a year ago (at least) and it has only been upgraded.
ANy idea where it has gone? I get:
! Package tikz Error: I did not find the tikz library 'calligraphy'. I looked f or files named tikzlibrarycalligraphy.code.tex and pgflibrarycalligraphy.code.t ex, but neither could be found in the current texmf trees..
Thanks,

php-imap for fedora36
by Alex
Hi, I'm trying to install a PHP app that requires the php-imap library. It
appears it's been stripped from fedora36 now. It looks like PHP was
compiled without the php-imap extension?
https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php
I realize there is php-pear-Net-IMAP, but that is apparently different and
not supported.
Are there other options available? I see lots of people with the same
problem, but no real solutions.

VirtualBox and VirtualBox-Server File Conflicts
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I'm trying to install Virtualbox from the Fedora repositories,
which appears to be coming from the Rpmfusion-free-updates repository,
and it has a hard requires on VirtualBox-Server, so the server package
is brought in with the install. The issue is the two packages have a
number of files with the same name so they conflict with each other. Is
this something that should be raised with the rpmfusion guys or should I
just wait for it to be rectified as it is immediately obvious on
install? I tried excluding the VirtualBox-server package but VirtualBox
won't install without it.
regards,
Steve

UEFI quirks on HP Z440
by Robert McBroom
Have a dual boot system with originally a nvme drive that was replaced
by an SSD. Put in a new nvme drive that has F37 on it. Was switching
back and forth between Fedora and Windows on the SSD with the bios boot.
Worked for a long time but now the bios boot does not recognize the SSD
as UEFI. The files in the efi-usb partition look to be unchanged.
HP is not very responsive. Anyone have a similar experience and find a
solution?

X, xfce or dekstop? What's up?
by Bill Cunningham
I have looked until exhausted. This cli boot I have I have group
installed Basic Desktop, Xfce Desktop and startx will not boot anything.
I believed it was a "good ole" systemd thing, but systemctl afaik seems
not to behind this. I know wayland has replaced X but there was X
libraries sill in the distro isn't there? How do I boot a gui? I believe
xfce runs on X. I see no gnome, or even kde.
I am probably behind and I am no developer, so idk what's up. what
should I do?
