Problem Fedora 33 installing fonts
by Michael Eager
I'm trying to install the liberation fonts in F33.
I've run fc-cache after install, but xfontsel does
not see the new font.
I have tried different things, all of which either
do not work or give unexpected results.
I've copied the liberation fonts to ~/.fonts, run
mkfontdir and mkfontscale in the directory, and run
"xset +fp ~/.fonts". I can verify that the font path
has been updated by running "xset -q fp". When I
run fc-cache again, it says that it added the font (or
that the cache already contained the font), but xfontsel
does not show it. Oddly, after running fc-cache, the
fontpath shown by "xset -q fp" is reset and no longer has
the entry for ~/.fonts.
(Same more or less if I add /usr/share/fonts/liberation*.)
I've tried to reset the default font path by adding
an entry under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with a Files section
and added FontPath, but that seems to be ignored in xset.
There are links under /etc/X11/fontpath.d to the liberation
font directories.
I'm running Fedora 33 with KDE. Any suggestions?

capabilities of softwares on fedora vs on developper's platform
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I am wondering why fedora packagers limit the capabilities of softwares:
I installed blender from fedora repo (f34) version 2.93.5. It is
impossible to enable the graphical acceleration of my graphic card
(nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti).
I went to blender official site and got the same version of blender
and.... graphical acceleration is set without any problem.
Why this difference?
Thank you.

How did I get a flatpack installed?
by Samuel Sieb
I usually use the net installer, but it's possible that I used the
Workstation live to install F34 on this system. I noticed Thunderbird
seemed to be a bit strange, not integrated well. For example, I
couldn't open pdf files normally. I couldn't pick the pdf viewer, only
an option to use the default system opener or save the file. I
discovered what had happened when I tried to update it and dnf said it
wasn't installed. It took a while, but eventually I figured out that it
was a flatpack. I would never intentionally install a flatpack,
particularly when there's a perfectly good rpm available.
So my question is, how did Thunderbird get installed as a flatpack? Is
that the default for the workstation install now?
When I opened Gnome Software, it gave me the initial welcome dialog, so
I didn't use that to install it. I did use that to remove the flatpack
and I could see that it would be very easy to accidentally install the
flatpack version instead of the rpm one.

To repeat what several people have already said: *I have absolutely no
idea what you are talking about*. Your question is badly phrased and
gives very little information on which to base an answer.

Re: Does the program llvm break all the hardware or only some of it ?
by Roger Heflin
You made a bad conclusion (LLVM broke it), did not tell anyone what you
were doing--just your erroneous conclusion based on the last thing you
probably installed. Eventually after lots of questions you let slip a
critical detail that you were using some github code to write vulkan apps.
*ANY* buggy c programs and header files compiled and ran can easily take
out *ANY* OS of any type if they don't mess with the hardware exactly
right. Unless the API has very very impressive error checking and
parameter validation then it can pass through garbage that will cause
whatever hardware it is messing with to crash.
And if you crash a critical piece of hardware such as the vulkan hardware
then probably the machine/OS when it tries to use the vulkan hardware for
something(graphics maybe) and/or get its status will also often crash as it
does not have code to handle the crashed hardware.
Always write up a full story of what you are doing when it went wrong.
Many times some detail you believe is non-critical is very critical. This
also seems to indicate that you don't really understand what the code is
doing nor what its risks are. If I am working against hardware at a low
level like that I am surprised if I don't mess up in some way and get one
or more crashes.

Those are not scripts, they are source and header files. It's important

What are you mentioning Windows?
Seriously, and please don't take this the wrong way, it's quite
difficult to understand what you're asking. I think this is in part
because you're not familiar with the Linux environment, but also
because of language difficulty with English. I would recommend posting
the questions on a French Linux site, or possibly asking for help in
translation.

OT: managed switch recommendations
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
Was looking for something safe and reliable, 8 or 16 ports, managed. I
don't really need PoE. I've read really bad review on Netgear on Amazon.
I am also looking for 'average' pricing, not the cheapest and not the
most expensive ones. Also don't want to have to register online for some
"features" to work.
Was wondering what you guys were using in general.
Thank you.

Copy and paste working to Firefox, but not from Firefox
by Don Marti
I'm trying to track down a problem with copy/paste between Firefox and
other applications on Fedora 34.
I can copy in other applications and paste to Firefox, but not the other
way around.
[~](master)$ rpm -qf `which firefox`
firefox-93.0-2.fc34.x86_64
[~](master)$ rpm -qf `which gnome-terminal`
gnome-terminal-3.40.3-1.fc34.x86_64
[~](master)$ rpm -qf `which thunderbird`
thunderbird-91.1.0-1.fc34.x86_64
shift-ctrl-C in gnome-terminal, then ctrl-V in Firefox: works
shift-ctrl-C in gnome-terminal, then ctrl-V in Thunderbird: works
ctrl-C in Firefox, then ctrl-shift-V in gnome-terminal: does not work
(nothing is pasted)
ctrl-C in Firefox, then ctrl-V in Thunderbird: does not work (same)
ctrl-C in Thunderbird, then ctrl-V in Firefox: works
ctrl-C in Thunderbird, then shift-ctrl-V in gnome-terminal: works
Any suggestions or other things to try would be welcome, thank you.

Although I can't really make sense of your particular issue (you might
want to consider posting to a Linux forum that uses your primary written
language), I have seen issues where a seemingly stable PC became
unstable--lockups, crashes, reboots--after launching another program yet
online forums showed no sign of other people having such an issue with
that program. Every time I suffered this, the root cause turned out to
be hardware, most often a faulty memory DIMM.
