It's obvious why, too: they believe people using that application are using the icon view exclusively and is the reason why the "paste" will always work in that view. The current nautilus design for the list view is, in my opinion, broken. Why? If I can't paste in list view when the list is full, it's broken.

I agree with almost everything you've said with the exception of the word "fora". But, that's neither here nor there. I find mail lists are far, far easier to follow. I too look at them as an opportunity to learn new things since I see every message. I miss 98% of the content on web forums. The one thing web forums do make easier is conveying non-textual information. But, that's not enough for me to want to use a web forum over a mail list.

virt-viewer vs virt-manager for sound
Hi, I'm successfully using virt-viewer to display a Fedora 40 KVM running on my Fedora 40 host. The one problem I have is that sound from the KVM only works in virt-manager and not in virt-viewer. If I passthrough my headset to the KVM, sound works fine in virt- viewer. Otherwise, I don't hear anything from my speakers, unless I use virt-manager. Is there a plugin or some configuration parameter I'm missing that would make sound work in virt-viewer without having to passthrough my headset? -- Ranbir -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

NFS URLs in Nautilus on Fedora 22 stopped working
Hi Everyone, I don't know or how, but I can no longer browse nfs shares from Nautilus. If I type in a NFS URLs, Nautilus immediatly says it's not recognized. All of my NFS bookmarks stopped working, too. My NFS server is running just fine. This seems to be a "problem" on the Fedora end. Was there a recent, undocumented change to the Nautilus code?

It's not my NFS server that is suddenly incompatible with Fedora 22. I can still manually mount (as root) any of the exports on the NFS server from my Fedora 22 desktop. The problem is Nautilus itself is telling me this: "This file server type is not recognized." That happens the very second I type "nfs://" into the "Server Address" box for the "Connect to Server" dialog window. I haven't even typed the location of the nfs export. Nautilus is complaining the nfs URL is not supported. This worked like a charm before. I still have my nfs bookmarks saved in Nautilus. But, Nautilus no longer recognizes nfs URLs.

Updated F29 kernel and grub went bye bye
Hi Everyone, I started an update of my F29 system today. Everything seemed to be going fine until the system locked up. I waited for a few minutes and then, hesitantly, I power cycled the computer. Sure enough, the boot didn't start and instead dropped into the grub shell. :/ I managed to manually boot Fedora. I reviewed the dnf history to see which packages were getting upgraded. I ended up redoing the entire operation, rewrote the grub2 config for good measure and rebooted: the same problem occurred again. Drat! Once the desktop was running again, I decided to only reinstall the kernel packages that were upgraded. That's when I saw this: Running transaction Preparing: 1/1 Reinstalling : kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 1/2 Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 1/2 Running scriptlet: kernel-core-5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64 2/2 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries. Not writing out new config. I must have missed those errors when I redid the update earlier. What I've found online so far doesn't reference F29 so I'm not sure what I can do to fix the problem.

However, when I press the Windows key, the GNOME shortcuts bound to the Windows key don't work. They worked fine before. At some in the very recent past, the bindings stopped functioning.

kvm and spice
Hello Everyone, I discovered to day that Red Hat has deprecated SPICE in RHEL 9. I've been trying to get SPICE working on Fedora 36 host and I'm striking out: the GSSAPI authentication for it never works, but it works just fine for VNC. Is the SPICE protocol still supported in F36? I have the SPICE related RPMs installed and virt-manager still lets me choose SPICE as the display. However, considering I can't get the damn console to work without prompting me for a password, I'm starting to think something fundamental has been removed. I don't want to use VNC. It's slower, I can't use USB redirection and I don't get any sound. RDP is an option, but it's also inferior to SPICE. I'm sensing IBM's hands at play here... -- Ranbir ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

It's the removal of SPICE from RHEL 9 that I'm referring to. It's upset a whack of people. The reasons RH eventually gave for deprecating it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, especially since SPICE is superior. It's either cost saving measure or a nudge to everyone to move to other solutions, including paid options from 3rd parties.

Even better is that everything else is working, too. I can: - use the SPICE display without being prompted in virt-manager to enter a password - tcp and tls connections to the host are both working wtih virt-manager, virt-viewer and virsh - GSSAPI is working with virtproxyd - polkit is used for local connections and qemu+ssh URI in virt-manager, virt-viewer and virsh, but only if I add my IPA user to the local "libvirt" group - managing the KVM from cockpit is working again - Remote Viewer link from cockpit _finally_ works (it never has before) I ended up removing most of my changes to the virtqemud.conf and virtproxyd.conf files and went with the defaults. Where I did make changes was to change from polkit to SASL based authentication in virtproxyd.conf and the removal of client side verification: I don't need the client side verify to be enabled since I'm using GSSAPI. I also added a couple of IPA users to the allowed users list in both files. I've rebooted the host a few times, restarted the KVM, and cleared my kerberos cache to see if it would break, but all of it stayed working. I think the move to the modular libvirt and my first time setup of TLS usage with libvirt has been a success. I wish I knew why the SPICE display wasn't working yesterday. I also don't know why TLS and TCP connections where giving me GSSAPI errors yesterday and today, stopped. I successfully connected with both after I added my IPA user to the local libvirt group. But, I also tried again without being in the libivrt group and that also worked. That's annoying since it's not clear what was wrong. > If SPICE development slows or worse stops, I'm guessing the other > distros will drop it, too. I guess I can't point fingers at IBM since SPICE _is_ still working in F36. I'm hoping it stays that way. Also, dropping it in RHEL just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm still concerned about RH not working on the development of SPICE in the future and I don't know how many people outside of RH are involved with the project. Anyway, at least for the meantime the F36 desktop running the KVM is working smoothly. I don't know what I'll do with my home "production" kvm host since it's on AlmaLinux 8. When I migrate it to AlmaLinux 9 (and move to modular libvirt), I'm going to lose the SPICE support. :/ Thanks for the help! :) -- Ranbir ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

KVM not avaible even though CPU and MB support is present
I'm trying to create a VM on my Fedora 36 desktop with virt-manager and I'm seeing this error: "Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly." Ok, so I figured I must have left VT-d disabled in the BIOS. I rebooted, checked the setting and found it enabled. Strange. I booted back into Fedora and looked for the "vmx" flag for my i9-10900X and sure enough found it present.

Interested to learn the concern I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Fedora 37. I don't boot into Windows nearly as much as I do Fedora. But, when I do, I'm always struck by how much more I seem to be able to fit on my 3440x1440 display in Windows than I can in GNOME. In GNOME, the font used is bigger, the window borders are thicker, buttons are bigger and there just seems to be more padding around everything. I don't understand why windows in GNOME have such a thick top bar. The Windows GUI in comparison is tighter and more compact (overall). It's obviously a stylistic choice that GNOME has made. I just find it bulky and almost cartoonish. It's a clean look, for sure, but huge.

Are there any v2p tools?
Hi Everyone, I have a Windows 11 KVM running on a Fedora 37 desktop and wish to convert it to a physical machine. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent of virt-p2v for going from a virtual to physical machine. I was considering just using dd to dump the LVM backed KVM to an SSD. I'm not sure if that's going to give me a stable system. I do realize drivers will need to be installed in the physical version of the VM: I was hoping Windows 11 would automatically take care of most that to give me a running system and then I could manually install any missing drivers.

I've been running Steam on Fedora for two years now and it's worked just fine. At first I had a GTX 1060 6GB. Last December I upgraded to an RTX 2080 Super. I use rpmfusion for the proprietary drivers. So far, I've had no problems with either card.

Or, better, you could create a wrapper script that starts the daemon and then does the verify. I know, still shitty.

Yes, there are some rough edges. In fact, there are some things that don't make sense, at all. But, overall I like it. I took a while to get used to it, and I had to change my desktop habits.

Lately I've been having random desktop lockups (i.e. I can't do anything), but I can still hear my mp3s playing. My mouse stops working on a whim, forcing me to use my keyboard to close apps and then switch to a pty to kill my messed up Gnome session. Sound stops working for no apparent, although I can bring it back easily enough by restarting pulseaudio. Just a little while ago my desktop froze again and I had to do a hard power off to get it back. I'm not sure if it's something flaky with my hardware or if it's Fedora 12 that's somehow hosed.

Evolution and multiple kerberos tickets for GSSAPI authenticated email accounts
Hi Everyone, If I want to use Evolution for email and configure more than one email account with all of them setup to use GSSAPI auth, how do I then get more than one kerberos ticket? I tried to configure two accounts (same domain), but Evolution complained a ticket for the second one didn't exist. I can switch back and forth by destroying one and getting a ticket for the other so I know GSSAPI auth works. I read the kinit man page and noticed more than one cache can be used. I think that's what I need to do for the above to work, but I don't know how to automatically enable it. I also don'e know how to configure Evolution to use something other than the default cache. I've done some searching online and so far I haven't found anything. I'm likely using the wrong search terms because there's no way no one else hasn't tried this already. :) Is what I'm trying nuts? -- Kanwar R.S.

Read AIFF metadata
Hi Everyone, I bought some AIFF tracks from Beatport the other day. I prefer them over WAV because the AIFF have embedded album art, song name, etc. I loaded them up in Audacious (F17+GNOME) which played them happily. But, it's not reading any of the metadata. All of the fields are displayed as empty. I tried VLC and mplayer, too. Still nothing. I downloaded the same tracks on to a Windows 7 PC and listened to them with VLC. VLC read the metadata without any problems. Hmmm I then installed Kid3 to see if it could read the metadata. Sure enough, it was all there. So, the tracks are clearly not broken. I tried converting the AIFFs to FLAC with ffmpeg and flac, but the metadata was still missing. I'd appreciate a recommendation for an audio player that can read AIFF metadata in GNOME or better yet, how I can convert these AIFFs to FLAC and keep the metadata intact.

I gave Totem a go (don't know why I didn't earlier). Not only did it play the AIFFs, but it also read the metadata! The embedded album art, the song title, artists etc. were all available. I'm going to guess totem didn't work for you and did for me because I have a gstreamer package installed that you don't. There's also the chance my AIFFs are slightly different than yours: perhaps yours are throwing Totem for a loop.

I stuck with the open source 2D drivers with which desktop performance was great. Gnome shell was nice and snappy. HD vids were butter smooth (though I don't think the open source driver used the ATI card to decode them). F17 is different. The desktop is sluggish, my dual core CPU sits with a constant load near 1.00, and videos are slightly choppy. The load issue is really annoying. I want to give the proprietary drivers a go; just waiting for the final release at rpmfusion.

nouveau driver not working for ancient Dell D800
Hi Everyone, I have an ancient D800 with a mobililty geared Geforce 4 video card. The laptop is mostly useless, but since it's still working and browsing the net on it is OK, I wanted to install F17 on it. In went F17, out went the video. :( The nouveau driver gave me a screen full of artifacts and a block for a cursor. Large sections of the screen were unreadable. I tried to use the proprietary legacy drivers from Nvidia, but the installer bombs out. It used to work on F15 until a kernel update broke it. Something changed and that change made it all the way to F17's kernels. Does anyone know why the nouveau driver isn't working for me? Are there any workarounds? I'd also appreciate hearing about any workaround's for the proprietary installer error, if any.

Intel HD 4000 and F17
Hi Everyone, I have a F17 system that used to be installed in a machine with an Asus P5Q-E motherboard and an ATI HD 3850 video card. I replaced the motherboard with an Asus P8Z77-M Pro and went with an Intel i5-3570k so I could get rid of the ATI video card. The CPU has an integrated HD 4000 GPU. My system came up fine and I have a working display. However, I'm not entirely sure Xorg and/or the kernel recognize the Intel GPU. More specifically, if it is recognized, I don't know if the right Xorg module is loaded. I did the lame glxgears test, which reported around 60 FPS. I have no idea if that's about right or completely off. I see this when I run lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0162 (rev 09) Do I need to install a different xorg driver or blacklist anything? I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this.

Re: Read AIFF metadata

That's odd, but I cannot comment on it without a look at the output of "soundconverter -d" for the attempt at loading the file. I can't load the aiff if I use the GUI exclusively. But, if I pass the file name in via the command line, it at least appears in the soundconverter window. Here's the output as you requested: SoundConverter 2.0.4 ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject) using Gstreamer version: 0.10.36 using 2 thread(s) using gio "xingmux" gstreamer element not found, disabling Xing Header output.

I kinda forgot about this and didn't come back to it until now (I'm about to buy some more AIFF tracks). The link above doesn't work anymore. But, I noticed I have a newer version of soundconverter installed anyway - soundconverter-2.0.4-23.fc17.noarch. Unfortunately, it doesn't work either. When I click the "Convert" button, this gets printed to the console: Queue start: 1 tasks, 2 thread(s). launching: 'giosrc location="file:///home/ranbir/Downloads/3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.aiff" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audiorate ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! flacenc mid-side-stereo=true quality=8 ! giosink location="file:///home/ranbir/Downloads/3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.flac"' However, no conversion actually takes place. The progress bar doesn't move. Also, the file size of the flac version doesn't increase (i.e. stays at 0). If I click cancel, the conversion stops and I'm taken back to the soundconverter window. If I click the pause button, I see this: Error: GStreamer Error: Could not open resource for writing. (3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.aiff) And soundconverter itself reports the same thing (i.e. there's an error dialog box).

I just realized that my latest test was done on a box where I didn't have all of the gstreamer plugins installed. After installing them, the latest soundconverter release on F17 was able to properly convert the AIFF file to FLAC. All of the metadata was intact. However, I still have to pass the file into soundconverter from the CLI. Selecting it with the GUI dialog doesn't work.

With that one > the file dialog here shows *.aiff files if I enable the filter "All files > (*.*)". There is no separate filter for *.aiff yet. Yes, I can see the aiff files if I use the "Add File" button and change the filter to "All files". If I select an aiff track and click the "Open" button, it doesn't actually get added. That is, I end up with nothing in my queue to convert. > Alternatively, you can also use your favourite files explorer and > drag'n'drop files into the open Soundconverter window. I didn't know about the drag and drop. I tried it out and it works: the files dropped onto soundconverter are added to the conversion queue and they are properly converted to flac.
