"dnf update" question, I think
by David
I had the following message during and update
today
Running scriptlet: flatpak-1.6.3-1.fc33.x86_64
84/124
Cleanup : flatpak-1.6.3-1.fc33.x86_64

Running scriptlet: flatpak-1.6.3-1.fc33.x86_64
84/124
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of
flatpak-add-fedora-repos.service
changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
I have seen this message appear before on various packages and have always
ignored it.
Should I do anything, or just wait for it to self-heal ?

System becomes unusable when copying a large file via USB into HDD
by Sreyan Chakravarty
I have just installed the latest version of Fedora Gnome on my HP laptop. I
had to import a 50 GB OVA file from my USB HDD to my hard drive via USB 3.0.
When the copying was taking place through VirtualBox, the system hung
almost completely, I was not able to even move my mouse.
Why does this happen ?
Reading this:
https://askubuntu.com/q/397249/628460
It seems to be the case for Debian based OSes, but then why is it happening
in Fedora ?
I just formatted from Windows 10, and while I hate a lot of things about
it, it never made the system unusable during heavy I/O operations. I had
multiple tabs in Chrome open without any lag whatsoever.
I say this, not to criticize Fedora but to point out this should be the
case in modern OSes. So why am I facing this issue?
Let me know what you think and if any further information is needed.
Thanks.

OT: is it possible to increase the volume in an mp4 file
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I apologize for this OT question but I have just finished recording an hour-long masterpiece for my class. However, the volume appears to be really low. I don't know why this happened, but long story short, I really do not want to do this again, so I was wondering is there any software on Fedora 31 that will allow me to edit the mp4 to increase the volume. I doubt that this is that easy, but I still thought that I would give it a try.
Many thanks again for your suggestions, and best wishes,
Ranjan

Thanks for your answer George.
Yes I have ffmpeg and No I don't have vlcextras. (I'll install it right away).
Yes I have rpmfusion repos but the driver has been installed from
official NVIDIA site.
The suggested tweaks to reencode every file sounds very annoying.
Coming to the royalties thing, I have to admit I didn't know that.
What is confusing me is:
- with the nouveau drivers the problem did not exist.
- vlc and smplayer are not playing even AVI files.
I'm seriously considering to revert back to nouveau.
Anyway thanks very much again for your help.
Ciao,

Microphone problem.
by Erik P. Olsen
When I want to use the built-in microphone of my laptop it is unavailable. I then
manipulate pavucontrol to make it available which is OK but when I reboot it becomes
unavailable again. Is there a way to make the settings I've done permanent?

NVIDIA Problem
by t_pol
Hi list,
I've decided to switch from nouveau to Nvidia drivers.
Everythings seems ok but I cannot play anymore h24 videos.
Both VLC & SMPLAYER just play sounds but no video.
this is the error message:
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))
Before the switch everything were OK.
I'm running Fedora 31 on an a laptop HP Pavilion dv5.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
