F37 XFCE bell – where to turn it off
by Sam Varshavchik
After updating to F37, the new XFCE desktop appears to have implemented the
screen beep/bell function. The default beep/bell audio is quite annoying,
does anyone know where the setting for that is, I can't find it.
I tried doing
xset b off
But it's still barking at me.

Youtube Videos Don't Play in Fedora
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have booked marked a support/tips page from the suppliers of the
Asus motherboard and the pages the main page links to contains Youtube
videos. The videos wouldn't play in Firefox Nightly, nor would they
display in Google Chrome, they just showed a message saying "If the
video doesn't start to play restart your device", and a reboot of Fedora
didn't change anything.
I've just upgraded to F37 via dnf and loaded the main page into
Firefox Nightly and when I link to a page containing a video, the video
now displays a blue twistie (play button) and continually spins on that
button without playing anything, although it does seem to a cache some
data. In both F36 and F37 when I load the main bookmarked page I have to
do a reload before it will display anything.
When I load the page into Google Chrome in F37, like in Firefox the
page doesn't display the page body and unlike in Firefox it doesn't
matter how many times I reload the page it doesn't display the page body.
How do I determine what the issues are given that the same pages
loaded into Firefox Nightly and Google Chrome in Windows display without
any issues.
regards,
Steve

KVM not avaible even though CPU and MB support is present
by Ranbir
I'm trying to create a VM on my Fedora 36 desktop with virt-manager and
I'm seeing this error:
"Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not
installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual
machines may perform poorly."
Ok, so I figured I must have left VT-d disabled in the BIOS. I
rebooted, checked the setting and found it enabled. Strange.
I booted back into Fedora and looked for the "vmx" flag for my
i9-10900X and sure enough found it present.
I have the a lot of qemu related packages installed. I also have the
necessary kvm RPMS installed:
libvirt-daemon-kvm-8.1.0-2.fc36.x86_64
qemu-kvm-6.2.0-16.fc36.x86_64
qemu-kvm-core-6.2.0-16.fc36.x86_64
When I try to manually insert the kvm_intel module, I get this error:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not supported
I've been using KVM for a very long time and recently successfully
migrated to modular libvirt on my kvm host. I would like to think that
I know a little bit about getting KVM running. :/
I'm currently running kernel version 6.0.9-200. Is it broken? Is anyone
else having problems with kvm on Intel CPUS in Fedora 36? Is there
something I'm doing incorrectly?
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, so much for the notion that web forums are better at stopping

I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now.

Fix failed DNF upgrade?
by Scott Beamer
Greetings,
I recently read somewhere that there is a dnf command to finish
upgrading when an upgrade crashes during an upgrade. I tried Googling to
find it just now and have come up empty.
Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks.

Backup data from Firefox
by Andreas Fournier
Hi
I'm wondering what would be best practice in how to backup the user
data from Firefox on a Fedora desktop? I'm thinking mostly about saved
logins and bookmarks and how it could be scheduled.

Laptop screen goes blank - new F37 - Lenovo E14 G2 AMD
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
I've just upgraded to f37 and for the first time I
experience what I've heard others "suffered" from - some
builtin LED/LCD monitor issues which, if I remembered
correctly had something to do with power management deep in
kernel/drivers.
Does anybody else see this?
Again, this is a first for me, no problems with previous
Fedora versions. A quick fix is to bring up "Displays" from
settings - I have an external monitor connected - and switch
from "Join" to "Mirror" and back to "Join", which is how I
have it.
many thanks, L.
