mpv does not play videos on Fedora 36
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I updated late last night as usual, and had to reboot today (for a separate issue) but I can no longer play videos using mpv on Fedora 36. This is whether for local videos, or for streaming videos from YouTube (say). What happens is the following:
....
(+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1920x1080 25.000fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (aac 2ch 44100Hz)
and then after a while, a black window shows up and things sort of get stuck:
AO: [alsa] 44100Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [gpu] 1920x1080 yuv420p
AV: 00:00:00 / 00:07:26 (0%) A-V: -0.000
It happens with all videos since this morning. All of them played just fine only yesterday.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I am running openbox (not Gnome/KDE, but I doubt that this is an issue). The videos play fine on xine (I just checked), but I can not stream using xine. Regardless, it would be nice to understand the issue with mpv.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Upcoming changes to domoticz
by Michael Cronenworth
Hi all,
The 'domoticz' package has a major change coming in the next release.
Current version: 2022.1
Next version: 2022.2
This change only affects Z-Wave users. Upstream has decided to deprecate OpenZWave
support and will instead support ZWave-JS through MQTT.
There is a documentation page[1] that describes the changes and recommendations on
migrating[2] your old Z-Wave device entries in Domoticz. Luckily you don't have to
re-program the Z-Wave devices themselves as their configuration is held entirely on
each device and in the Z-Wave controller.
This will be a one-time pain, but the good thing is that ZWave-JS has more features
and has lots of upstream activity. OpenZWave appears to be dead.
If you're interested in testing this with 2022.1 you can do so today as MQTT support
exists and I've tested it myself. Download the ZWave-JS-UI binary[3] and start it
up. Then start up the MQTT service and follow the Domoticz wiki instructions.
Regards,
Michael

[OT] regex help
by Mike Wright
Hey all,
I have a regex I'm trying to build. A match is determined by the
contents of the first two columns.
if column 1 is a "}" the line is a match
if column 1 is a " " and column 2 is not a " " the line is a match
Now this seems simple but all I've managed to do is create an error
message generator ;/
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Wright

Grub2 now Using the Wrong grub.cfg File?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
With the install of grub2 2.06.67 in F37 and playing around with
trying to eliminate the unicode font signing issue highlighted in
another thread, I've now found that grub2 when displaying its boot menus
is no longer reading /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, which I believe was
introduced into F36 and still continued in F37 until now, but has
reverted back to reading /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.
Does anyone know why this version of grub seems to have moved away
from the philosophy of UEFI and legacy boots using the same config file?
regards,
Steve

Upgrade to f37 left system in messed up state
by Paolo Galtieri
I just upgraded from fedora 36 to 37. There were no errors reported but
after the update I get:

host: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so.2: cannot

libjemalloc.so.2 is found in /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/libjemalloc.so.2
I removed the Nessus package and it removed all these packages:

xrandr-1.5.1-5.fc37.x86_64
After this, running
host cnn.com
results in:
host: error while loading shared libraries: libisc-9.18.8.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
I got around the problem by specifying the hostname to ip address
translation in /etc/hosts.
This allowed me to update packages, one of which was to install
jemalloc, and allowed me to re-install the above packages, but I can't
get dns to work on this system which happens to be my local dns server.
Fortunately I have a secondary dns server.
running dig cnn.com
results in
;; communications error to 127.0.0.53#53: timed out

Has anybody else experienced similar issues, and know how to fix this?
There is one other system I want to update to F37 but it happens to be
my secondary dns server.

Hi,
I am getting the following error message displayed before the
display of the grub boot menu, can someone explain to me what this means
and why it is occurring in F37 when it was never produced in F36, and
what I need to do to rectify it?
