What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora- native ebook reader! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

F30 Lenovo x140e - no wifi
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

I have been using ethernet up to now. I went to enable the wifi, to see no wifi listed. It has been too long since I have had to do this troubleshooting. Can some point me to what I need to look at to find what the Fedora thinks is the wifi? thanks

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hello, I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled nautilus. I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker and its things And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes.. Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment. Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

F30: latest kernel no external monitor
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Hello, executed "dnf update" after about 15 days of inactivity. Updates has brought in kernel 5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64 But after reboot the system is not able to detect (in the sense of no monitor connection at all seen) when connecting a 24" Dell monitor using an usb-c to hdmi adapter on my laptop and then connecting an HDMI-to-dvi cable to the monitor, that I normally used before. Tried to reboot two times without effect. As soon as I restart with previous kernel 5.1.20-300.fc30.x86_64, external monitor detection and usage is ok again. This is in default Gnome environment and Wayland. Eg in gnome terminal I have: $ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type Type=wayland and $ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY wayland-0 Anyone else with similar problems? If you point me on how to get related log lines in journal in both working and not working configurations, I can get more info. Seen on several threads that with Xwayland and gnome-shell not so easy to see startup log files... Thanks in advance, Gianluca

[dnf] Transaction check error: file ... conflicts with file from package ...
by Frédéric 30 Sep '19

Hi, My dnf seems broken. Below is what I get with dnf upgrade. I did dnf clean all, dnf clean metadata, I tested to add zchunk=False, I set back fastestmirror to false but nothing changes. I was able to upgrade a lot of packages and while it works for them, I get a lot of messages like: /sbin/ldconfig: File /lib64/libvisio-0.1.so.1.0.7 is empty, not checked.

Please recommend a super fast video editing software for Fedora 31 Linux
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 29 Sep '19

29 Sep '19

Good afternoon from Singapore, I am presently using Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 15.0 on Windows 10 Home Edition to render 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160 videos. My processor is 5th generation Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.3 GHz with 6 cores only. My motherboard is MSI X99A SLI Krait Edition with LGA2011-3 socket and 32 GB DDR4 memory. However, 4K video rendering on this platform takes an extremely long time, typically more than 10 hours to render a 2-hour 4K video. Please recommend a super fast video editing software for Fedora 31 Linux which can do 4K video rendering significantly faster. Perhaps it is not the software but my processor which could be the bottleneck. Do I need to upgrade to 16 or 18 core processors like the Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X to render 4K videos significantly faster? Please advise. Thank you very much. -----BEGIN EMAIL SIGNATURE----- The Gospel for all Targeted Individuals (TIs): [The New York Times] Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html ******************************************************************************************** Singaporean Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 14 Feb 2019 and refugee seeking attempts at the United Nations Refugee Agency Bangkok (21 Mar 2017) and in Taiwan (5 Aug 2019): [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming -----END EMAIL SIGNATURE-----
