host volume changed by VM guest
by Chris Murphy
Hi,
Is this related to the earlier pulseaudio flat volumes conversation?
Host is Fedora 23, guest is Fedora 24, anytime I boot the VM the
host's volume is changed. If I inadvertently chnge the volume of the
guest, the host's volume goes to max.
If the host's volume is at minimum, and the guest volume is in the
middle, successively lowering the guest to minimum increases the host
volume to max. It's totally screwy.
If this is a different problem and I should file a bug, any suggestion
on what component to set it to would be helpful. If it's a known issue
then there's no point in cluttering this up further.
Thanks,

The status of Fedora Media Writer (was LiveUSB Creator)
by Martin Bříza
Hi,
I was asked to come here and write a few words about the status of the new
Fedora Media Writer for Fedora, in a few major points for now. I haven't
read through the full meeting log yet so more stuff can follow down the
thread.
== Mac OS X Support
I was not able yet to build a working .app package with the LiveUSB
Creator for Mac. I have used probably every tool there is to freeze Python
scripts while using direct Qt installs, Macports and Homebrew. Usually I
hit issues either with missing dynamic library or broken QML imports. That
means there's not a problem with the code itself but with the way how to
distribute a usable package to the users.
If there is anyone looking to help me on that, I have uploaded just a
basic source code package to [1]. It's just a simple PyQt5/QML application
with just two source files but fundamentally the same as the FMW.
For now, I hope a Python3 port (yes, it's still Python2) will resolve
this. An other option is just to ditch the horrible Python mess and
rewrite the whole tool to a saner language that's actually portable.
== Design
I heard there are some raised voices regarding the design of the
application, that it's not the same as the design on gnome-design-team's
github. While there are some differences, I think they are mostly the same.
The main difference now is that now you can choose your achitecture with a
radiobox set in the main window below the name of your chosen Fedora
flavor instead of a small popup.
If you're concerned with the lack of headerbar usage, that's because the
app is written in Qt - there's no direct support for putting anything into
the header bar.
== Windows Support
Current plan is to distribute the application as a .exe installer created
using NSI. Either the installer or the application (or both?) will have to
be signed using a code signing certificate which we currently don't have
but can be obtained for I think 14 euros per year for open source
projects. As mentioned in the meeting yesterday, due to a communication
hiccup between me and releng, I expected I will be the one building and
signing the Windows package.
Now we're trying to resolve this with dgilmore. Currently it seems we'll
have to have a Windows machine running the builds or use upstream binary
packages in Wine because it's not possible to just compile upstream Python
using MinGW - it'd have to be heavily patched with some shady patches
lying on random peoples' blogs.
For future releases, it would be good to provide this as a single
self-extracting interpreter, though - in a similar way Windows installer
itself does it.
That's about it for now. I guess there will be questions and I'm here to
answer them.
