I normally have two or three browsers open. Most have been installed for so long I no longer remember what dnf calls them.
My wife, who also runs F39, has been having trouble with the ones she has, and I have yet to get around to trying to diagnose them. Today as a stopgap I tried to install some others for her, using dnf.
It couldn't find brave, falcon, opera, nor vivaldi. VERY Dumb Question : How do I look up what it calls them?
If you know the path to the browser, perhaps /usr/bin/opera, AND have the repo for it active, you could try the dnf command "provides".
$ dnf provides /usr/bin/opera
A while back I wrote a little script: $ cat bin/whats #!/bin/bash # Identify what package $1 is from, if any
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo "Usage: whats arg" exit fi if ! bin=$(which "$1" 2> /dev/null); then if ! [ -e "$1" ] ; then # Maybe it's a file echo "$1" not found exit fi bin="$1" fi cand=$(rpm -qf "$bin" 2> /dev/null) if echo "$cand" | grep "not owned" > /dev/null 2>&1; then file "$bin" # echo No idea exit fi rpm -qi "$cand"
So 'whats opera' would give the package info for the command, assuming it's installed.
