F38 install issues
by Matt Morgan
Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament to
how well Fedora works these days.
I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install F38
on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It booted
fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive.
I took about half of the 1TB SSD for Fedora, and told it to continue. Then
I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the computer had booted to the
USB drive again (it appeared). I removed the USB drive and rebooted again.
The system booted to Windows with no indication of a grub boot menu. The
drive was missing the space I'd reclaimed, so clearly that worked, at least
partly. But nothing I do seems to get it to boot linux or drop me at a grub
menu.
When I boot off the usb drive, it works, but I don't see any linux-related
files on the SSD. So basically it looks like the drive got partitioned, at
least partly, and the install didn't run. So I'm trying to run the install
again, but no combination of clicks is getting me what I want.
1) For "Installation Destination," I see "Error checking storage
configuration." I click on that, and it has the one device for me to
install to. At the bottom, it says "Error checking storage configuration."
When I "click for details," I get
---
The following erros were encountered when checking your storage
configuration. You can modify your storage layout or quit the installer.
Failed to find a suitable stage 1 device: EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type None.;
EFI System Partition cannot be of type ntfs.; EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ext4.;
EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System
Partition cannot be of type btrfs,; EFI System Partition must e mounted on
one of /boot/efi.
----
If I then go into "BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING" I do see a Btrfs volume,
labeled "fedora_locahost-live," of 460GB. It has "home" and "root"
subvolumes. It has no mountpoints for / and /home, but I can add them.
Still, I guess it wants me to tell it where to put /boot? What do I do?
For reference, when I look at the drive in BLIVET I see
device type format size label mountpoint
nvme0n1p1 partition efi 100MiB
nvme0n1p2 partition 16MiB
nvme0n1p3 partition ntfs 491.34GiB
nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live
nvme0n1p4 partition ntfs 662MiB
So the overall picture I'm getting is that the first install didn't finish
partitioning the drive (since I don't see anywhere for /boot) and didn't do
any of the install. But a) I'm not really confident in that assessment b) I
don't know what to do next, in any case. Is it nvwe0n1p2 where /boot was
meant to go?
Thanks,
Matt

Need help; safe way to shrink my fedora38 installation disk
by KarlderLetzte
hello everybody,
i need some space on disk for a second installation.
therefore i want to safely shrink my fedora installation.
here is the disk layout:
Label: 'fedora_localhost-live' uuid: ceb296ac-852b-420c-af45-
3cb3d5cb1f9d

/var/lib/docker/btrfs
/home

i tried it with gparted, but if i want to shrink, a warning appears,
that it is possible,to not boot anymore.
my question:
is there a safe way to shrink?

Since F38 Upgrade, Thunderbird Opens as Tiny, Postage Stamp
by Tim Evans
Should have asked about this sooner, as it's something I've seen since
the very first F38 upgrade. Not sure if this is Fedora or Thunderbird issue.
When Thunderbird opens, it does so postage-stamp size, way up in upper
left hand corner of window, so small I almost missed it at first.
Right-clicking "maximize" restores it to full screen display.

Texts to cell phones
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 38
Is there a utility to send/receive texts to/from
cell phones including graphics?
I have been using Thunderbird, but the cell phone
companies mess with it and most do not go through.
I noticed that Windows 11 has an application for that.

OT: sed or awk command to add a file extension
by olivares33561
Dear fellow Fedora users
I have a file with entries
\input{file1}
\input{file2}
...
\input{fileN}
How can I add extension
\input{file1.eps}
\input{file2.eps}
.
\input{file3.eps}
In case I need to add *jpg or *.png extension. I believe awk or sed would do the job. Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Antonio

Re: OT: sed or awk command to add a file extension

Assuming there are no extraneous characters on each line following the filename, and assuming every line in the file has a filename:
sed -i 's/$/.jpg/' <your file>
