f31:: thunderbird/kde:: extension of window below desktop
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! So, because my mouse started to root it seems that a wrong or too
long click did something to my thunderbird: the thunderbird windows
actually goes under what is possible below desktop.
The scrolling goes under the monitor window and obviously the cursor
cannot go there. the thunderbird window cannot be resized in vertical
size and also cannot be moved vertically ...
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thank you!!

Migration strategy to F33 w/ btrfs?
by Richard Shaw
I've already done a dnf upgrade to F33 on my system that hasn't had a
"clean" install since at least F24, but at some point I'd like to migrate
to btrfs w/o LVM.
My current plan is to replace my current SSD (500GB Samsung EVO 970 m.2) to
a 1GB version with the process being loosely:
1. Add the new m.2 disk (via PCIE adapter)
2. Perform a clean install to it
3. Capture all the RPMs I have installed and install them on the new install
4. Migrate /etc and /var (where appropriate)
5. Move the new SSD to the MB m.2 slot and remove the old SSD and adapter
(save for another system).
Any better options? /home is already a separate 3TB spinning disk so that
won't change for now.
Thanks,
Richard

Display Manager Configuration Files
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Which configuration file identifies which display manager is being
used, and which configuration file identifies which desktop that dm will
launch?
The issue I have is, I have the Fedora Astronomy spin at F32 level.
I think it is starting SDDM at boot time and defaulting to start KDE.
When I put on the system update two updates ago, the "start menu"
refused to display any entries when clicked on. There was a subsequent
system update after that, and when I put that on KDE refused to start,
so in order to get a running system I eventually got the desktop to set
its desktop drop down to Gnome (Wayland), and was able to get Gnome to
eventually start. The issue this caused is now the desktop drop down
will not show any entries other then Gnome (Wayland) to be able to try
and start KDE again.
I am running F32 in a Windows 10 hosted Virtualbox VM.
regards,
Steve

F33 KDE Plasma - how do I get the activity list/menu/bar to
disappear/minimize ?
by linux guy
F33 KDE workstation. Dual monitors.
I have an activity widget on my desktops. You press the widget and a list
of activities appears. I've been using it for a couple years, no
problem. I pressed it in F33 and the list appears. But I can't figure
out how to minimize it or make it disappear. How do I make the activity
list disappear ?
Thanks

Where is 'virsh'?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I used virsh in the past to edit VM profiles, but I can't find it on
F33. 'dnf search' turns up nothing. Where is it hiding?

tool to backup/restore just ACLs, xattrs, selinux context, etc?
by Tom Horsley
I've been setting up a NAS running TrueNAS, and after getting
media serving sorted out, I'm now looking at using it to backup
files from my fedora desktop.
Trouble is, the TrueNAS ZFS filesystem don't know 'nuthin about
all the "weird" extra file attributes (as near as I can tell, anyway).
Is there any kind of tool to just backup all the different
kinds of extended attributes in a database I can use to restore
them if I have to restore files or directories from the backup
on the NAS? Heck, maybe just create a big shell script with all
the chattr, chcon, semanage, etc. commands.

When I try an application on Fedora 33 QT 5.15.1 I get this error:

Someone can help me?
Many thanks

Network problem
by Scott van Looy
Hi,
I’ve managed to do something accidentally to my network config and I’m not sure what.
I’m running a server inside of an ESXi host
It’s running using NetworkManager with 3x fixed IP addresses manually configured, .215, .216 and .217
There are 3 virtual adaptors attached to the VM in question, I shut it down, updated the host and then started it up again.
So on startup, all 3 appear to be working and have IPs assigned according to ifconfig, but...
.215 accepts pings, .216 and .217 do not
If I turn off the adaptor assigned .215, .216 suddenly starts accepting ping requests.
If I turn .215 back on again, only .216 continues to accept ping requests.
If I turn off .216 then one of either .215 or .217 will start to accept ping requests. And so on.
It’s super frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen or what could be causing it or any suggestions for what I can investigate?
Regards,
Scott

Starting Fedora
by Robert McBroom
Installed F32 on a legacy system set up to run xfce4. Letting the system
do the graphical boot works as expected. Booting to mode 3 command line
login then trying to start the graphical display with startx fails to
start the xserver. Going to a separate session with ctrl alt f4 gives a
command line login but again a graphical display doesn't start with
startx on an alternate display. Can start with xinit and xfwm4 as a
window manager.
From the graphical system,
systemctl status display-manager
