Fedora 31 and VNC - problems
by mario futire 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

I am trying to set up a vnc server on Fedora 31 (GDM, GNOME-Wayland). I've tried 2 separate routes 1) XDCMP: via xvnc.socket (as documented here /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service) Super simple, just run systemctl enable xvnc.socket Then from either the same machine or a RPI I connect the vncviewer to xxx:5900, I get the GDM login screen with the users, but nothing else) When typing the password. only the first dot is displayed and after pressing enter I get the "Oops, something bad happened, log out" 2) vncserver: doc here /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service It is not clear what the display number should be, I tried a few. After doing systemctl enable vncserver@:XYZ.service I get on the F31 machine the "Oops,... log out" (not sure it refers to what), then I still try to connect via vncviewer localhost:XYZ, get asked for a password (which I set earlier via vncpasswd) and I get a black screen. The password is accepted, I can tell if I type the wrong one. But I only get a back screen. One the one hand everything seems so well designed, but on the other nothing actually works.

Omron data -
by Bob Goodwin 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

I have an Omron BP786N for checking blood pressure. It will connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth but it would be more convenient if I can connect it directly to my Fedora 31 desktop workstation. Is there an application for doing that? -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, Fedora Linux-31 XFCE

gmane domain name has changed, now gmane.io instead of gmane.org
by stan 28 Jan '20

If you depend on gmane for reading this list, you will need to change the news server address you use from gmane.org to gmane.io. See the wikipedia page for an explanation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane.

App to monitor journalctl
by Javier Perez 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi Is there any application to monitor the system log file? This is a home system I usually open a terminal, go into root and type "journalctl -f" and leave it at that. But 1. I do not want to have a a root session open always. 2.There have to be a more efficient method, I think. I am using Xfce Thanks -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

F31 install fail AMD Zen2
by Neal Becker 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

I ordered a new workstation from a well-known linux vendor. The workstations has: 2x AMD 7262 CPUs Supermicro H11DSI-B MB NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti The vendor says the MB is updated to latest (so this is not https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Releases-Linux-Zen2…) and they have tried different memory and graphics cards. Unfortunately, they did not say HOW it fails to install. They claim to have tried different Fedora versions. I'm assuming they tried F31 because I ordered with "latest Fedora version". Any ideas? Thanks, Neal

smartcard - scdaemon and pcscd conflicting
by Winfried de Heiden 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi all, Using (Fedora 31) a yubikey for both storing GPg-keys and ans SSL- certificate seems to create a conflict between pcscd and scdaemon. Using gpg-agent is most usefull, it will avoid asking for the key/Yubikey password all the time; however: it will start scdaemon and both pcscd and scdaemon try to access the smartcard reader exclusively: Depending on which is (re)started first: Jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00033944 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00034140 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00033895 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00034205 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00032693 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive jan 28 12:01:25 laptop-winfried.blabla.bla pcscd[9786]: 00031293 winscard.c:286:SCardConnect() Error Reader Exclusive Or when pcscd, gpg is not abaile to communicate with the card reader resulting in: gpg2 --card-status gpg: selecting card failed: No such device gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No such device Most topics "on the internet" mention to disable pcscd when using gpg or in $HOME/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf using "disable-ccid" pcsc-driver /usr/lib64/libpcsclite.so.1 disable-ccid The latter however just won't work; gpg will not be able to access the smartcard. FYI; is seems it is not an "exclusive" Yubikey problem. Besides yubikey, I also use a gnuPG (OpenPGP) Smartcard. different card, different card reader same problem... Hence: any solution for pcscd an scdaemon to work together....? Winfried

Guake won't stay in autostart
by Tibor Attila Anca 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hi, I'm using Fedora 31 Workstation with all updates. Since Fedora 30 I experience that startup programs don't stay in autostart. I tried several times to put Guake in there, but it won't stay in the list, after reloading Gnome it disappears. Is this Fedora-specific or more a problem of Gnome (in which case I will post there)? Thanks in advance Tibor -- Tibor I use OpenSource!
