keyboard
by Patrick Dupre 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

Hello, On a Laptop, it seems that my keyboard is a bit special. For example Page Up and Home are the same key (supposed to be switched by Upper or Lower case). I guess that I dod not choice the right layout. How can I view the different possible layouts without "add" it? The setting offers me a list of keyboard layouts, but do not display the layout.

Thundebird not working with nntp.lore.kernel.org
by Ian Pilcher 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

This is a weird one. After the lastest round of updates, Thunderbird (thunderbird-102.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64) doesn't work with the kernel.org NNTP server - nntp.lore.kernel.org. If I'm reading the tcpdump output directly, it opens a TCP connection to the server, but then it never sends anything over than connection. Other NNTP accounts continue to work, and nntp.lore.kernel.org works just fine with the previous version (thunderbird-91.12.0-1.fc36.x86_64) on another system. Anyone else seeing this? -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ========================================================================

Thunderbird experiments - new icon scheme - ?
by lejeczek 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

Hi guys. I wonder what is that recent experiment with icon/color scheme changes in thunderbird-102.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64. @devel - if you read this - if you are going to make those kind of changes I suggest you provide users with an option to keep whatever users had with/from previous version(s), perhaps in a form of a theme. Would anybody have or can recommend a nice, more classic & less eye-poking(icons colors) theme for Thunderbird? many thanks, L.

Trying to install from ISO via grub.cfg - almost there?
by Philip Rhoades 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

People, My old Zenbook has problems running LiveUSBs so I generally use dnf updates but the last update to F36 has caused problems with audio that I can't resolve so I want to do a clean install and have been trying to do this via running the iso from a grub2 config by adding stuff to 40_custom: #!/usr/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Fedora 36" --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { rmmod tpm set iso_label="Fedora-36" set iso_file="Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso" loopback loop (hd0,gpt5)/$iso_file # sda5 is my home partition that I preserve between updates set root=(loop) linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=$iso_file root=live:CDLABEL=$iso_label ro rd.live.image initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img } This actually boots but eventually grinds to a halt with: /run/initramfs/isoscan: unknown file system type 'swap' dmesg may have more info . . EXT4-fs (sda5) mounted file system with ordered data mode. Quota mode: none. loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 4325276 Then lots of: dracut-initqueue[627]: Warning: . . . " Emergency mode . . And a suggestion to save and look at: /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt Can anyone suggest what the problem is and how to resolve it?

Monitor id detection via HDMI is variable
by Anil F Duggirala 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

hello, I am noticing that my new Dell S2421HS is detected and identified differently depending on when I connect it. If the monitor is connected when I boot up the laptop, the monitor is detected as "Dell Inc. DELL S2421HS". If the monitor is connected after logging in, it is detected as something like "HDMI 1 Unknown - A" (approximately). Does anyone have some insight into why this is happening? I using KDE Plasma desktiop, thank you, Anil
