firewall-config
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
firewall-config works fine locally, but if I make a ssh -X on the machine,
even in sudo, I get
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
xclock run fine.

4k video playback on some videos makes entire system sluggish
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora38 desktop and having a problem playing 4k videos. When
playing some videos, my entire system becomes sluggish and slow to respond,
like the system is under extreme load or all resources are consumed by
graphics rendering.
This is the lspci info for my video card:
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev ef)
CPU utilization doesn't appear to be a problem, so really have no idea why
this is happening. Perhaps a missing codec? How do I control hardware
rendering?
What other information can I provide to help troubleshoot this?

Restarting pipewire
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Can pipewire be properly restarted (after an update) without logging
out and in again? I'm using Plasma, if it matters.

battery life
by Matt Morgan
I have a new HP Victus laptop with Fedora 38 and Windows 11 installed.
In Windows, the battery lasts all day--8+ hours. In Linux, it lasts about
2.5-3 hours.
I installed TLP, which I remember from way back, although I don't know if
that's what people do these days. In any case, it didn't help.
What else can I do to get Fedora not to eat up the battery life so fast?
Thanks,
Matt

Monitors
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I plan to install a KVM for 2 monitors.
One machine has a VGA/DVI on the motherboard, and the other one has 2 DP.
Both monitors are VGA/DVI/DP
I have to replace the VGA out by a DP.
What would be the best option:
1) Add a DP video card on the PCIExpress bus (and use the DVI of the motherboard)
2) Add a dual port DP/DP (or DP/DVI) video card on the PCIExpress (using none port of the motherboard)
3) Add a USB-C port on the PCIExpress and a USB-C -> DP converter (and use the DVI of the motherboard)
4) Add a dual USB-C (on the PCIExpress) and 1 USB-C -> DVI and 1 USB-C -> DP converter.
The KVM2 could be DP/DP or DP/DVI.
I guess that fedora could manage the dual monitors correctly.
Thanks

Anyone know of any cards or accessories that allow a desktop to
make calls on a cellular network?
by stan
When I searched for this, I came up empty. I was thinking that there
would be a USB plugin device or a pcie card that allowed a desktop to
communicate with a cellular network. Put a sim in it, and bingo, can
call using the desktop instead of the smartphone. I think it would be
useful for troubleshooting things like having trouble with a website
over the phone with support. Could do both on the desktop instead of
having a phone and desktop, and switching. Maybe it is so niche, or
has such a small market, it just doesn't exist.

F38 installer claims it cannot find a hard disk
by Michael Hennebry
I burned the F38 workstation installer onto a DVD.
On booting it can find my home directory on the only hard disk.
When I tell the installer to install,
it claims it cannot find a hard drive. Grrr.
The first time I got the message, I just rebooted.
On the second boot, I looked for my home directory and found it.
I even looked at some images, so I know it was atually reading files.
When I told it to install, no go.
Suggestions?
Requests for more data?
