Can't attend Fedora meetings

Project Discussion
1

To start with I am running Fedora Workstation V40, It was a clean bare metal install so everything is current revisions and I run updates every morning.

I’ve been trying to attend Fedora meetings, but since Matrix I’m not able to. I click the following URL in in the meeting notice:

https://matrix.to/#/#meeting:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.io]=chat.fedoraproject.org

After I choose to use the Fedora site instead of the Matrix app I log in with my FAS credentials and end up here:

I can watch and read the meeting. When I try to join it wants me to to read the Ts & Cs I can read them, but there isn’t a way to acknowledge that I read them. I tried looking through them but I always just end up closing the Ts and Cs and can’t join.

I don’t have pop ups blocked.

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Pat

Hi @tablepc . This sounds like this topic:

You should be able to accept the terms and conditions (see my video here):

From Ask Fedora to Project Discussion

Added matrix-team and removed workstation

It may possibly be to do with the exact form of the link that I use in the meeting mails (which is meant to make sure you get to the room via the Fedora Chat authentication flow rather than send you down the default path on matrix.to). Maybe if you just go straight to chat.fedoraproject.org one time and try to authenticate it’ll help?

Thanks for the suggestion. I logged in and it welcomed me by name (Pat Kelly) but I still couldn’t join the fedora meeting. Same problem. I read the T&Cs, but no way to acknowledge so it wouldn’t let me join.

Have a Great Day!

hard to believe security is a priority here.

first off, my fas account been pending many years. can’t move forward. keeps asking for OTP token when it foes’nt provide a way how to.

now, i did fresh install of official f40 and performance crawled. using gnome 46. was better off with install files from the everything ISO although that gave kernel 6.8.7 when fc40 is only up to 6.8.

While I was logged in per adam’s suggestion I looked at all settings and it had my name right, but when I tryed to add my email address I got this message:

Unable to add email address

MatrixError: [403] Your email domain is not authorized on this server (https://fedora.ems.host/_matrix/client/v3/account/3pid/email/requestToken)

I guess I have to use my fedora email so I tried:

tablepc@fedoraproject.org

and got:

Unable to add email address

MatrixError: [403] Your email domain is not authorized on this server (https://fedora.ems.host/_matrix/client/v3/account/3pid/email/requestToken)

the identity server is set to vector.im I can’t change it to fedora.im

I still can’t join the meeting.

yeah, this does sound a lot like the other case we had a while back.

I will ping the EMS folks to try and fix it in the database like they
did for that other user.
