Re: does i am able to build a python program for rpm using '''python setup.py bdist_rpm''' with dependency python in virtual using '''python3 -m pip install --user env venv <package>'''

The rpm created by bdist_rpm will target the system installation of Python, not a user's venv. If you want to create something that can be installed in a venv by pip, I believe you'd want to create a "wheel".

Did firewall logging got broken with netfilter?
by Sam Varshavchik 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

I have a rich firewalld rule with a "log" option: # firewall-cmd --list-rich-rules < ... > rule family="ipv4" forward-port port="[port]" protocol="tcp" to-port="[port]" to- addr="[ip addr]" log level="info" limit value="[log frequency]" Actual numbers changed to protect the guilty. I cannot find anything being logged, anywhere. According to firewalld.richlanguage, this should get logged to syslog. The default rsyslog.conf specifies all info-level messages going to /var/log/messages: .info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages Port forwarding is working, but even when I hit the port I see nothing get logged. Just on the lark, I also tried 'journalctl -f", and nothing shows up there, either. firewalld is using the netfilters backend. After some head-banging, and copious searching: # nft list table inet firewalld I found this in the output: chain nat_PRE_FedoraServer_allow { meta nfproto ipv4 tcp dport [port] dnat ip to [host:port] } I see nothing here that suggests that anything is going to get logged. So, I'm just guessing that firewall-cmd either does not implement the log option, in the net-filter back-end, or the net-filter back-end simply does not implement any kind of logging (which seems unlikely). Anyone know anything more on this?

how to log machine activity
by Eyal Lebedinsky 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

I am chasing a problem where I notice audio hiccups at regular intervals. It may be cron but I cannot see how. I want to log start/end of every executable. I will do this for only a few minutes at a time. I may want, later, to log all access to one fs to see if it matches what I hear. I am on f34, x86_64, up to date. Surely there is a standard tool to do this (I hope)? TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

how to test Wireless/Bluetooth card on Fedora
by Anil Felipe Duggirala 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

hello, I am having some issues with my Bluetooth connections. I tested a Bluetooth mouse and it worked but had an issue, it became laggy after a few seconds of being connected. One would move the mouse but the movement of the pointer on the screen was noticeably laggy. I also tried using a bluetooth speaker and experienced a similar issue. The sound produced by the speaker was slightly behind the video, just slightly behind. I know that both of these devices (mouse and speakers) work correctly on other PCs. And the issues I am having on this PC, are also present on my Windows system installed on dual boot on the same machine. I'm on a Dell XPS 9550,which I think comes with the Dell Wireless 1830. and lspci outputs : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless This card provides both Wifi and Bluetooth. My bootup is showing some messages related to this device, maybe?: [ 1838.063937] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_inetaddr_changed: fail to get arp ip table err:-52 [ 4216.272913] ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_psm_watchdog_notify: PSM's watchdog has fired! Is there any way for me to test the Bluetooth on this laptop to see if I have a damaged card? I need to know if I need to buy this replacement card. Wifi is working OK, Bluetooth is definitely not ok (even on Windows). I'm on Fedora 34 Workstation. If I decide to order a new Card, I think I could also get the: Intel Wireless 7260 WLAN WiFi 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 Dual Band Card or the: Killer Wireless N1535 Dual Band WLAN WiFi 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 M.2 Card - VM1D6 working on this laptop. Can anyone suggest which one might work better on Fedora? thanks very much for your help. Anil F

Flakey Bluetooth Devices
by Jonathan Ryshpan 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

There are two bluetooth devices paired with my main computer. The connection is via this dongle: $ lsusb ... Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Two devices are paired: $ bluetoothctl paired-devices Device C0:15:DA:B9:77:39 Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse Device 3B:0C:40:C7:35:16 TEWELL T-1 Both have problems: The MS Ergonomic Mouse often doesn't connect when the system starts. Sometimes it's possible to get it to connect by running $ bluetoothctl connect C0:15:DA:B9:77:39 but generally the only way to get the it to connect is by running: $ sudo pkill bluetoothd which kills the bluetooth daemon; another instance is automatically restarted, which recognizes the mouse. Also, the mouse often falls asleep; it's possible to wake it by moving it around, but it would be nicer is it stayed awake. $ bluetoothctl info C0:15:DA:B9:77:39 Device C0:15:DA:B9:77:39 (random) Name: Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse Alias: Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse Appearance: 0x03c2 Icon: input-mouse Paired: yes Trusted: yes Blocked: no Connected: yes WakeAllowed: yes LegacyPairing: no UUID: Generic Access Profile (00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Device Information (0000180a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Battery Service (0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Human Interface Device (00001812-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Vendor specific (7a440b82-7fc2-45bd-83e6-d6d78c5669d1) Modalias: usb:v045Ep0834d0124 Battery Percentage: 0x64 (100) The TEWELL internet radio often cuts off the first part of sentences when listening to voice.

audio-related bug(?) on Fedora 35
by Ranjan Maitra 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

Hi, I have noticed a possible bug over the past ten days that pretty soon makes it impossible to do anything related to sound and then necessitates a reboot (complete with hard power button press). Here is what happened the last time (an hour ago) when I was forced to reboot: I got: After Stopping session c1 of User "xyz" (*) A stop job is running on session c1 for user "xyz" (+) A stop job is running for Manage Sound Card State (restore & state) After Stopped Login service, I get (-) A stop job is running for User Manager for UID yyyy (+) A stop job is running for Manage Sound Card State (restore & state) After Stopped Authorization Manager, I get (+) A stop job is running for Manage Sound Card State (restore & state) After about 2 mins, (*) and (-) get done (separately), and after about 6 min (+) gets done. However, I get a message: Waiting for process: alsactl, wireplumber, chromium-browse (not browser), pipewire and after a while (because I have already wasted close to 30 minutes if you add the time it took me to figure out the need to do a reboot), I give up and do a hard reboot. I wonder what the problem is. Note that I did shut down chromium-browser and firefox before reboot. I rebooted into the 5.16 kernel ten days ago. I am on a Dell XPS13 and do nightly updates. I also hibernate every night and usually do not reboot for weeks: I can not recall why I decided to reboot 10 days ago, but it must have been some oddity. My guess is that I was hibernating and waking for at least 20 days before that. Any suggestions? Let me know what additional information I can provide. If it is indeed a bug, what should I file under? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

[OT] need crontab help
by Mike Wright 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

Hi all, There is a java app that writes directly to the pulseaudio MASTER channel at full volume twice a day. I'm pretty sure the neighbors hear it. My idea is to use crontab to run at 12:59 Monday-Friday. It waits 59 seconds, mutes the audio, waits 6 more seconds and unmutes the audio. From the command line it works. I can't make it work using crontab. It does show up in the syslog. This is in my /etc/crontab (all on one line) 59 12 * * 1-5 root test -x /usr/local/bin/mute && \ ( \ /bin/sleep 59 ; \ /usr/local/bin/mute ; \ /bin/sleep 6 ; \ /usr/local/bin/unmute \ ) This is /usr/local/bin/mute and unmute: sink=$(pactl info | grep "Default Sink" | cut -d' ' -f3) pactl set-sink-mute "$sink" 1 (unmute uses 0) Anybody explain why this doesn't do what I intend? Thanks, Mike Wright

USBC hub questions mainly charging and video output
by Frederic Muller 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hi! I just bought a (ONTEC) USBC hub to connect my VGA monitor to my laptop) with as well a PD port. Reading the poorly written manual I wasn't sure if that port was just to provide a charging port for a USBC device, or if I could plug in my laptop adapter, which would then get power from the HUB (as their diagram suggests), giving me back 1 of the 2 available TB4/USBC ports on the laptop? I did connect 2 external monitor to the hub (1 VGA+1 HDMI port) but only got mirrored images. Assuming the answer above is a yes I can save one of my USBC ports, could I assume I would then be able to connect a different display to the remaining USBC port and add 1 monitor that way? Thank you. Fred
