Fedora 34: Pipewire: Renaming devices and ports
by Keith Smith
Pipewire seems to work great on my hardware. Already a big improvement
over JACK-Pulseaudio.
When I open Carla's patchbay I see most of my hardware's source and
sinks (at least all the one's I care about) However the names for the
ports are incorrect. I was reading about putting rules in pipewire's
alsa-monitor.conf file, but so far I have been unable to get that to
work (based on Carla's patchbay)
Has anyone successfully used alsa-monitor.conf rules to change a device
and its port names?
I used 'pactl list' to get the reported device names and info. Is that
the right command for pipewire?
Thanks,

Fedora34: "Problem Reporting" Fails: Retrace Job Failed
by Keith Smith
Ardour 6.6 crashes when I try to load a project and the automated
"Problem Reporting" was displayed. I tried to report this, it claimed
to upload my core dump, but fails during "Analyzing crash data" with a
Retrace job failed (was running for several minutes).
I also ran into this on Fedora 33 and was never able to successfully
complete any problem reports, I never reported it here before. Trying
to to be more diligent this time.
What can I do to resolve this?
Thanks, Keith

KDE Desktop icon issue
by Keith Smith
This is a minor annoyance that I also had in Fedora 33.
Still there in Fedora 34.
The lower left task manager has Firefox, Dolphin file manager and
Discovert software Center icons anchored, but a blank icon is really
Firefox , the Firefox icon is really dolphin and the Dolpin icon is
really the Discover software center. I.E. everything is offset by one.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Fedora 34: Qsynth (Fluidsynth) MIDI input hint
by Keith Smith
If you are using QSynth to control Fluidsynth and you want Fluidsynth's
MIDI input to show up in CARLA (and thus be mappable with pipewire)
change The MIDI input driver to JACK.
