rsync problems after update
by Jon LaBadie 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

On Fedora 40: For years I've nightly updated copies of three home directories using rsync. In yesterday's update, rsync updated to 3.4.0-1 and the nightly run failed on all three directories with the following error message: sending incremental file list Internal hashtable error: illegal key supplied! rsync error: errors with program diagnostics (code 13) at \ hashtable.c(88) [generator=3.4.0] Reboot (not done after update) did not change things. I downgraded rsync to 3.2.7-7 and the copy program ran normally. Anyone else seeing problems with rsync 3.4.0-1? -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

After F41 waydroid System Update, no longer runs
by Andre Robatino 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

After applying a System Update (can't remember if that's the correct term) Waydroid no longer starts, dmesg is filled with constant messages like [ 3427.920971] binder: 6467:6323 cannot find target node [ 3427.920984] binder: 6323:6467 transaction call to 0:0 failed 5324/29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3151 [ 3428.718964] binder: 952:952 cannot find target node [ 3428.718977] binder: 952:952 transaction call to 0:0 failed 5325/29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3151 [ 3431.721986] binder_debug: 10 callbacks suppressed [ 3431.721992] binder: 952:952 cannot find target node [ 3431.722001] binder: 952:952 transaction call to 0:0 failed 5331/29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3151 [ 3431.925081] binder: 6467:6323 cannot find target node [ 3431.925092] binder: 6323:6467 transaction call to 0:0 failed 5332/29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3151 Rebooting didn't help. Any ideas? I'm not sure if this is even a Waydroid bug since it wasn't an update in the waydroid package that triggered it.

sound problem on f40
by François Patte 09 Feb '25

09 Feb '25

Bonjour, I have some sound problems on my f40: 1- sound works with some applications like audacious or vlc or kaffeine but it does not work from sources via firefox or chromium 2- I have an usb camera with a mic and this mic is not detected by skype for instance... All this was working "before" (sound-web, mic) what stupidity could I have done? And how can I correct this? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Update failure in Fedora 40
by Robert Nichols 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Fedora 41, but I cannot get a clean update state in the current Fedora 40. I ran "dnf update" successfully and it installed many updates including a new kernel. After a reboot, much to my surprise dnfdragora reported 18 updates available. Running "dnf update" again resulted in installation of most of these, but also reported: Problem 1: package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from @System requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from @System - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from updates - cannot install the best update candidate for package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch Problem 2: problem with installed package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 - package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from @System requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from updates requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from @System - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from updates - cannot install the best update candidate for package qt6-qtbase-common-6.7.2-6.fc40.noarch I have tried "dnf update --allowerasing", "dnf update --obsoletes", and even "dnf autoremove", but nothing gets rid of these problems. I have made no changes to any of the config files in fedora-repos-40-2.noarch. I am very reluctant to attempt an upgrade to Fedora 41 with the system not in a cleanly updated state. What to do?? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

LibreOffice scaling with mixed DPI on KDE
by Sijmen J. Mulder 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hi, While I'm at it, here's another issue I'm seeing: with mixed-DPI setups using KDE, LibreOffice's scaling is completely out of whack on secondary monitors. This is my setup: - Fedora KDE spin - Laptop is using 1.75x scaling - External monitor is using 1x scaling LibreOffice is fine on the laptop screen. When I move it to the external monitor, the UI elements become gigantic - it's as if it's correcting the scaling the wrong way around. Mabye someone else has seen this and knows a fix like an environment variable tweak. Sijmen J. Mulder

Two UI glitches with Sylpheed on KDE
by Sijmen J. Mulder 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hi, I have two UI issues with Sylpheed on KDE: 1. When I click a menu, the text becomes white-on-light-grey. The items in the menu render fine, black on light grey, or white on blue when hovering. 2. Dragging and dropping emails always gives me the 'forbidden' cursor (red circle with a diagonal stripe), even through functionally it's all good. Both of these I've noticed in other apps as well, but I don't remember where. Perhaps it's to do with the GTK versions these use. I'm using the Fedora KDE spin. Anyone else have this? Tips? Sijmen J.

Is VP9 hardware-accelerated in any of our web browsers?
by lejeczek 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Hi guys. All the browser I could try - minus those which HW accelerate AV1, for those I don't know how to check VP9 because those default to AV1 for playback - seem to ignore/skip HW acceleration for VP9. One browser I love to use HW is "Brave" - AV1 I am unable to get at all, every YT video which elsewhere I can play AV1, in Brave plays in VP9 and that runs off CPU only, so it seems. thanks, L.

OT: cheap hardware for video editing
by Frederic Muller 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hi! I use a Thinkpad X1 carbon gen9 i7 with integrated intel video chip as my daily driver. Unfortunately I've been limited for extra-work activities such as video editing (was thinking of DaVinci Resolve) due to the lack of proper GPU, or flight simulator lagging (have to set to lowest possible video setting to get ok smoothness). I'm on a budget and was wondering what reasonable hardware you would recommend for such a task? I do have external monitors so it can be anything for that matter, as long as it doesn't cost too much. Thank you for your recommendations. Fred
