I'm rusty on that kind of thing TBH, haven't needed to do that in many a year, so I'd need some instructions. It's just weird to me that it goes away on its own after 2-3 tries. I will say it doesn't appear to be video related at least; I'm hitting this trying to build an RPM in mock that runs Chromium headless in %test (so no video involved at all). -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ 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
