aplay: main:830: audio open error: Connection refused
Did alsa recognize the sound devices? Check with

I've had this problem with shifting sound devices because of the video
(hdmi) device being recognized before the other audio devices. This
makes sense, since the video has to be initialized early in the boot
process. It is a race condition. Wolfgang's suggestion that you use
pavucontrol to set the default sound device is a good one. That way,
no matter the order that they are initialized in, pulse will always use
the device you want as the default output device.
You can also change the alsa default device in
/etc/alsa/alsactl.conf
However, if the order of sound devices changes with every boot, that
will be problematic.
You can put a file in
/etc/modprobe.d
to specify the order of devices explicitly, but that is more complex.
Basically, put stanzas like the following for each device.
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel id="SB"
options snd-hda-intel index=0
changing the card description to reflect the information from
aplay -l
and setting a different index number in the range 0-7 for each of them.
The file name doesn't matter as long as it is unique for that
directory, but choose something descriptive so you recognize it.

Well now I am overwhelmed with more information than I can deal with.
I have been comparing the files mentioned for the Fedora-32 system that
has a working sound system with the Fedora-33 which does not. Other than
the xfce volume control Configuration that I mentioned earlier I see:
[bobg@Workstation-2 ~]$ pulseaudio --kill
and then:
[bobg@Workstation-2 ~]$ pulseaudio --start
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at
{fc279515ec6c4fa39007fba37b0f7d6b}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native,
refusing to start/autospawn.
Nothing seems to work ... I will continue the effort, probably start
fresh tomorrow morning.

Fedora-33 Instal method -
Is there any way to install Fedora 33 without using the install GUI? This morning, out of desperation, I tried the Network Installer for Fedora Server but it is just another .iso that uses the same GUI as the others I have used that I am no longer able to deal with. I was hoping it would be a command line operation which I can still deal with. In order to use the GUI I need some one to do it for me while I tell them how to respond to the menu items, difficult since it is something I do infrequently although I can usually muddle through, it is inconvenient at best. I have not been able to get past the language selection screen, the first one, in the network fedora server GUI, w/ould like to know if it offers the/ LVM or the "standard partitions?" I want the "standard partitions" not the LVM. So my question boils down to is the installer GUI the only way to install Fedora 33?

Yes I did not understand the role media writer plays in the installation, the important thing is that now I can see how to do much of the job with text in a terminal, the reason I wrote the initial query. Yes, I want "Standard Partitions" as media writer names it, rather than a Fedora 33 LVM system which I find adds a layer of complexity I prefer not to have. As for chances of NFS contributing errors in this process, it was not a factor since I still had a copy of the .iso file in Downloads and used it. However the NFS server provides data I use routinely as long as this system is running and I have recognized no problems caused by it. Thank you for your help, Bob If you were trying to burn a DVD from an ISO file over NFS, I'd be a bit hesitant about relying it to supply uninterrupted data to the burner.

In a lot of cases, you can use the "dd" tool in the command line to datadump the ISO file onto a USB flashdrive, and boot up the installer from that flash drive. Make sure that you pick the right device for dd to write to, and that your flashdrive is big enough. The installation instructions on Fedora's website does describe this method. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/ dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct Some notes: Work out the device your flashdrive is mounted at, and then unmount the flashdrive. if= sets the input file path (to avoid surprises, use the full filepath). of= sets the output file path (make sure that you replace sdX with the correct device for your flashdrive). bs=8M sets the blocksize to 8 megabytes for each chunk being written to the flashdrive. status=progress gives you some indicators that write activity is happening. oflag=direct has something to do with directly writing to the drive, rather than going through a cache (which can mean you think you're writing to the drive, think that you've finished writing the drive, but the you'd only written to the cache, and writing to the drive is still going on). Some versions of dd don't support those last two options. ° this all good information but I have never used media writer to create the fedora.iso installation media. n a released version there is normally a webpage offering a download which I save and can put on a thumb drive, cdrom, whatever. Media writer has a "custom" which will see read the .iso from the copy I saved in "Downloads." In this case I have the Fedora 33 beta .iso and tried to use that file from my copy on NFS. the problem I had was it could not be pointed to the install location, it insists on using the 4TB drive on my LAN, and it appears that would work but it's not what I want and normally do. I have another drive in this computer with Fedora 31 on it and that drive should show as an available install target in the media writer gui. That is how I have done. Sometimes I create install media on a flash drive, but I have had some instances where the flash drive is not recognized? However this is just something I thought I would do but does not work and I can wait until the released version is available, in which case I would have liked to know how to avoid the media writer application that I always find difficult to use, but always muddle through.

I intend to deal with that next./ If you have a full computer running 24/7 as a server, you're better off to add a big data-only drive to it, and use it. At least you can make an ordinary Linux install do what you want it to. I don't know why they call these little boxes cloud servers. You can't run software on them, they're just storage. Well, you can hack them. But the idea of cloud computing was that you could start running something on one cloud device, then float it over to another device on demand. These things can't do that.

I assume that is done to save memory in the mobile device, it sends the original image to their iCloud server and leaves smaller thumbnails in memory. That's probably configurable, or ought to be. . The equipment may be reconfigurable but the users may not be. From my observations there are enough difficulties in getting the user systems working as they want them to that they wont change what works for them. i have met resistance there. It should be possible to configure the cloud device into a reasonable configuration (so long as they haven't taken away features, which is why some people don't let them auto-update their firmware). Once you know the IP for the device, you can simply open that address in your webbrowser and use the device's in-built webserver to change the settings. If you wade around, you'll find NFS, SSH, FTP, and other options you can switch on. I turned off lots of useless things, to me, like itunes, media servers, etc., to stop it wasting time indexing the drive. . The ip's are assigned by the router dhcp server and are always known. before yesterday's actions, there was access through my browser and WD's Mycloud server somewhere and with a lot of fiddling I could display trial images I had stored on the the unit on my desk, it was horribly slow and erratic in operation, of no use to me. They tend to stick everything in a Public folder where everyone can read and write to. If you set up individual users, you can have personal storage spaces in their own names. However, you often find they still have read/write permissions for everyone. They rely on intermediate serving software to apply access restrictions in the middle. .

But at this point I'm not sure what to do to correct this, can I edit the /etc/exports file in the server directly. I assume I will need to change fstab accordingly too. Yes on all counts. We need to work on building your confidence by showing you how to verify that each change you make is working as expected. On the server, I suggest you copy "/etc/exports" to "/etc/exports.new", edit "/etc/exports.new" to make the change and post the .new file here so others can check for problems. Once you are confident that the changes are good, you can use "showmount -e" to record the current state, then, on the client, unmount the server so you can make the change: On the client, unmount all nfs filesystems: step 0. sudo umount -a -t nfs Back on the server, you need to stop exporting the old directory,: step 0: sudo exportfs -u "/nfs_share/home" then move the data from "/nfs_share/home" to "/home/nfs_share": step 1: sudo mv /nfs_share/home /home/nfs_share systemctl daemon-reload Check that /nfs_share is empty, that /home/nfs_share has the expected contents, and that the root partition has gained roughly the same space that has been lost on the /hom Check that /nfs_share is empty and that /home/nfs_share has the expected contents. Update "/etc/exports", and export the new "/home/nfs_share": step 2. sudo mv /etc/exports /etc/exports.old step 3. sudo mv /etc/exports.new /etc/exports step 4: sudo exportfs -av Verify that this worked by running "showmount -e" Back on the client, make a "/etc/fstab.new" with the same process and post for review. The version you posted earlier seems to have a typo, but that may have occurred when posting. Once you are confident in your fstab, replace the original version with the updated version step 5: sudo mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old step 6: sudo mv /etc/fstab.new /etc/fstab Then let systemd know about the changes: step 7: sudo systemctl daemon-reload step 8: e partition by running "df -lh / /home" Update "/etc/exports", and export the new "/home/nfs_share": step 2. sudo mv /etc/exports /etc/exports.old step 3. sudo mv /etc/exports.new /etc/exports step 4: sudo exportfs -av Verify that this worked by running "showmount -e" Back on the client, make a "/etc/fstab.new" with the same process and post for review.
