"Restart is required" notification won't go away despite multiple restarts
by George Avrunin 13 Oct '21

13 Oct '21

I have a Dell XPS 13" with a 3840x2160 screen running a fully updated Fedora 34 and use KDE with X, not Wayland. I believe this issue started after I connected the computer to a projector with a much lower screen resolution and had to fiddle with the display settings, though that could be a coincidence. Since then, every time I start the computer, I get a blue notification popup (like the ones saying the network interface is up) that says "(A) Restart is required. The system needs to be restarted for the updates to take effect." I have, of course, restarted (and powered down and restarted) the machine multiple times. I've even tried changing the main display resolution and then changing it back. I've done some web searching and looked in various places on the machine, and haven't found anything about this. If I click on the notification, it goes away until the next time I start the laptop so it's only an annoyance, but I'd like to get rid of the notification. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Instead of using GUI applications you could SSH into the host and use linux command line. ls, cp etc. That is what most of the people I know use. It is fast and scriptable if you need to repeat commands.

What CPU for qemu-kvm and Windows 11
by ToddAndMargo 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Hi All, qemu-kvm-5.2.0-8.fc34.x86_64 Okay, I give up. I can not find a CPU the general release of Windows 11 likes. It wants a Comet Lake Coffee Lake And they are not on qemu's CPU list. -T

Can't find setting "focus follows mouse'
by Robert McBroom 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

The setting to have the window focus follo the mouse cursor seems to have been hidden away. Plasma and Xfce have very few of what used to be common optionx for the mouse.

I don't know the actual numbers, but I think that Gnome is the most used desktop in Fedora. It is the official workstation version with the most exposure. But, there are several other desktops available in their own spins: kde, mate, cinnamon, xfce, lxqt, lxde.

I use it to display remote windows locally. Severing the processing (on the remote) from the display (on the local host) gives some apps a *huge* performance boost. One app was using 250% of cpu on a 12 thread zen which pretty much brought the whole machine to its knees. Now, running TWO simultaneous instances of the app using xpra the *combined* cpu load on the host and remote is about 50%. It allows exiting from xpra locally (remote windows close but keep running remotely); on reconnection to the remote your previous windows reappear. *That* is really nice. xpra can also shadow a remote desktop or run the remote desktop locally. xpra must be installed on any machines that will be participating. Tip: run xpra start once --start=/bin/true (that establishes the initial link between the local and remote. After that ^C out then xpra attach when starting additional apps. Interactive graphics progams like browsers that are resource intensive I run locally. My 12 thread now sits on an unused desk with its monitor off. I do all my work on an old AMD Phenom II with pc-133 memory (my local) and pull in windows as I need them. Checkout xpra.org Mike Wright

Any program can be run on the server and export a GUI interface to a remote terminal. This is what X Windows was originally designed to do. However these days it's often more performant to use VNC. This involves installing a VNC daemon on the server and a VNC client on the terminal. TigerVNC (tigervnc and tigervnc-server packages) is one way. There are many online guides to doing this. poc
