It's been many months, but for completeness I thought I would follow-up and report that it turned out to be a problem with the monitor. I sent it back to Samsung at their expense, but then they couldn't fix their own monitor due to parts availability, and a replacement was backordered, lol. So after a week or so of having it back, the problem hasn't happened since, glad to say.

Does Chrome, FireFox, Brave etc use the PipeWire server now? - I get mic problems
People, Some told me they thought that browsers talked directly to the soundcard? With upgrading from F33 (X/XFCE4/ALSA) to F34 (Wayland/Sway/PipeWire) I have been thrashing the system a bit to see how it goes and found trying to serially record stuff online from three different browsers and also recording stuff with a number of apps causes me to lose access to the default mic for ALL inputs . . Since I don't have any trouble PLAYING from as many sources as I want to but ONLY recording, I have turned OFF access to the mic for all the browsers (C, FF, B) and will try to only use stand-alone apps that need the mic (using default) ie audacity, jisti, obs, zoom, arecord etc - I will see how that approach goes for a while. Also, because of problems in the early days with PulseAudio, I got into the habit of routinely uninstalling it and just using ALSA plus my .asoundrc file - now I thought PW was going to completely replace PA but I see there are still a number of RPMs installed: alsa-lib-1.2.5.1-2.fc34.x86_64 alsa-sof-firmware-1.8-1.fc34.noarch alsa-ucm-1.2.5.1-2.fc34.noarch alsa-utils-1.2.5.1-1.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-alsa-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-libs-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire-utils-0.3.35-2.fc34.x86_64 pipewire0.2-libs-0.2.7-5.fc34.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-14.2-3.fc34.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-14.2-3.fc34.x86_64 pulseaudio-qt-1.2-5.fc34.x86_64 pulseaudio-utils-14.2-3.fc34.x86_64 Any info on how this stuff is supposed to work / hang together would be appreciated! - a diagram somewhere would be great!

I have 5 machines that are linux only, and just the one that is Windows. Been using it to test setup of my G4L project for regular usb boot using grub4dos, and UEFI boot using grub2. Both work fine, but the issue is windows puts the nic in some state when it does a warm restart that messages the dhcpc setup from the linux client. Added the following line to the script that does the dhcpc setup. echo 1 > $(find /sys | grep $(lspci | grep -i ethernet | cut -f1 -d\ ) |grep reset) finds the pci device for the ethernet, and then sets the reset to 1 That seems to handle the process of fixing what windows breaks.. Will have to look at modifying it to handle systems that might have more than 1 ethernet device?

With the headaches you're going through, I reckon I'll be going back to how I used to do installs years ago. One whole drive for /home, one whole drive for everything else. Though probably a SSD for the system (for speed), and magnetic disc for home (for less nasty surprises). When a new release is going to be installed, I'll unplug the home drive, and do the install without it. After, I'll attach it and mount it over the system root home folder. Doing it that way took all the worry out of doing installs. My other approach, was: unplug the drive, install a blank drive, install the OS. Plug in the old drive, copy the data over to the new drive, remove the old drive and store it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 7 14:49:57 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

Time to reinstall F34, and this is when I discovered that it is nearly impossible to reinstall F34 on a btrfs system without reformatting /home too (!?) It is possible, it's just a bit non-obvious how to do it. This test case explains how to to it step by step. You already have a Btrfs installation, so Setup steps 1 and 2 are done. You can go to the how to test steps. The critical steps are 9 and 10. In particular 10 is not obvious that it's creating a new subvolume for '/' and that's why the Btrfs file system isn't reformatted, and hence the existing home subvolume is retained, and just assigned to /home in the new installation. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_custom_btrfs_preserve_home And yeah we need a better way to document this than a test case. Yes I have seen another site with something similar, that's why I said "nearly impossible", moot now , I don't have btrfs anymore and do not plan to use it in the future unless things change.
