And, it's a lot of manual work to self-sign and register the key with mokutil, and even more effort to figure out how to get DKMS to automatically sign after building, on kernel updates. I don't know enough about RPMFusion packaging. I use RPMFusion, but haven't looked into the contribution process. In particular, I wonder if their modules are signed by a key that's already trusted in Fedora. My guess is not, and then it's the same problem as with COPR. I'm probably going to abandon the effort anyway. obs-studio in Fedora crashes constantly every time I try to change the settings and save, so I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with v4l2loopback. I also couldn't figure out how to get Slack or Chrome (Hangouts) to even recognize the second v4l device. Only cheese saw the new video device at all, but it couldn't display it, for some unknown reason. Thanks for the advice, but I think I've reached the end of what I can figure out or champion on my own. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
