Stop GDM showing notifications?
by Tom Horsley
Can I run dconf-editor for a different user? (user gdm), or
find some other magical way to disable the notifications
that pop up while logging in?
In particular there is a persistently annoying notification
that my mouse battery is low. I'm fairly certain it is really
the keyboard battery it is talking about, but the dadgum keyboard has
a red light that comes on when it actually needs charging,
the gnome check is totally bogus and starts weeks before the
keyboard actually needs to be charged.

Discover
by Kostas Sfakiotakis
Greetings ,
As am browsing the internet category ( for example ) looking if there is
anything interesting ( usually there are a lot ) i find that
programs like Viber,Skype, Anydesk are offered to be installed although
there are alread installed on my computer . Well up
to a point at least Discover seems to know which programs are already
installed on my computer and just offer the option to remove
them , BUT in some cases it would seem that it makes mistakes . Have i
forgotten to configure / update something ( possibly a
database Discover is looking ) ??? Is simpy Discover making a few
mistakes every now and then as to which programs are already
installed or am Discover is unaware of the software installed and am
simply supposed to do the thing myself ??
If i may ask , who tells Discover what is already installed and what not
?? Am i correct to assume that Discover offers a wast
range of programs in various categories regardless of the way they are
packaged ( rpm or otherwise ) ??
Am using Fedora 33 upgraded from Fedora 32 ( which was upgraded from
Fedora 31 ) .
Kind Regards,
Kostas

Differences between versions of wine on FC31 and FC32? 5.19/5.22
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have 5 linux machine at home with 3 on FC32 and 2 on FC31.
One of the FC31s is my notebook, and noticed that the wine on the FC32
has gone up to 5.22, while the FC31 are at 5.19? Checked the testing
repos to see if it might be there, but nothing.
Usually, the latest version will get an update, and the other will show up
within a couple days?? Just ran updates on machines, so noticed the
differences. Never recall it being more than one different...
Thanks. Have a nice day, and be Safe..

Lost the UEFI boot info that my BIOS shows
by Fulko Hew
Something went wonkers with my system, and although I could try to reboot
it would get so far and then fall back into some kind of maintenance mode.
Rather than fight it at the time, I thought it was a good time
to ensure I have a good backup of my home filesystem.
So I booted a Live USB stick and performed my backup.
Now I wanted to go back and try to diagnose/fix my root filesystem issue.
Sadly, my BIOS no longer knows about the bootable entity on the HD,
and only shows me the Flash drive (even if it's not plugged in).
Any idea what happened to my HD boot info in my BIOS, or how to restore it?
PS. It is a Dell laptop.
TIA

Problem with bluetooth on Fedora 33
by José Abílio Matos
Hi,
in this laptop I am unable to have bluetooth running.
I have followed the instruction at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Bluetooth_problems
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: Primary Bus: USB

Trying to bring it to a working state does not work either:
# hciconfig up
shows the same output as above.
# lsusb | grep -i blue

YES !
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.
That makes the button appear, and I can continue.
[Sadly my install of the KDE spin seems to have biodegraded to the point
where it is completely unusable. And all I did was install some software
and personalize some window, desktop and power management options.
After having to add my user to the cdrom group so I could burn CDs,
I logged out and back in. Burning works, but now I can no longer log
in with KDE over X, and only KDE over Wayland works. I also noticed
via gkrellm that my CPU fan doesn't run and my CPU heats up.
Sadly i've got more testing/diagnosing to do to get a working F33.]

Inhibiting device startup at boot
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a couple of SATA drives connected via a USB dock that I use only
for backups. Normally they are powered down and only come on at night
during the backup run. However they also power on any time I reboot the
system and have to be powered down again manually. I'd prefer not to
power them on at all until they're needed.
Is there some magic that would inhibit the boot process from powering
up these devices? Note that the /etc/fstab entry already has 'noauto'
but that just prevents them from being mounted.

Fedora-33 No Sound -
by Bob Goodwin
In a new install of Fedora-33 I have no audio. It appears that PA has no
input when viewing the pa volume display.
[bobg@Workstation-2 ~]$ aplay /home/bobg/apps/audio/login.wav
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect:
Connection refused
aplay: main:830: audio open error: Connection refused
For whatever reason the pa volume shows audio set for HDMI and my audio
is coming from the motherboard speaker j=output. The same connection
always worked with Fedora-32 and earlier ...
Am I the only one seeing this and what can I do to fix it?

squishy bell
by Michael Hennebry
F33 or gnome is giving me lost of squishy bells.
In particular I'm getting them from gvim, gedit
and sometimes from a terminal.
How do I make the squishy bells go away?
I found this, but it did not help:
