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?

trouble with Fedora 31, notebook, and nvidia
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

I bought a used notebook which came with an Nvidia GPU and I haven't managed to get it to work with Fedora. Computer: Dell XPS 15 9580. UltraHD screen. Nvidia GFX 1050 mobile GPU. 1) Fedora 30 installation medium hung. 2) tried Fedora 31 beta. Hung the same way. 3) it seems that nouveau is to blame. Solution: add kernel parameter nouveau.kms=0. 4) installed Fedora 31 beta. (I've kept it updated, so it is now Fedora 31 non-beta) Problems: a) I don't get the advantage of the fast GPU (and the chance of using it for GPU computing). This isn't an urgent concern. b) the GPU is apparently powered up and generating heat. This runs down my battery and causes the fan to run. Solution?: i) Install proprietary nvidia driver. I used the negativo17 repositories. ii) Install BumbleBee to allow switching between the Intel IGPU and the Nvidia GPU. (I don't think that I've actually used BumbleBee yet.) Problem: System hangs on boot when the kernel has nvidia modules (which I've only done for some kernels, thank goodness). If I disable Wayland (in /etc/gdm/custom.conf set WaylandEnable to false), I can boot a kernel with nvidia modules. GDM (the loging screen) works. It is known that the Nvidia proprietary drives don't work with Wayland. If the kernel has nvidia modules, once I log in through GDM, the machine locks up hard. In particular, I've done this while an SSH session is also logged in from another machine. That session is frozen too. I *think* that the /etc/gdm/custom.conf setting should also prevent Wayland from being used during the session post-GDM but I don't really have a way of checking. ==> Is wayland disabled for the session or do I need other magic? The latest system log entries are lost since the machine freezes without flushing various filesystem caches. Any suggestions?

Fedora31 install problem -
by Bob Goodwin 02 Nov '19

02 Nov '19

. I have been trying to install Fedora 31XFCE Spin. I've spent more time at it than I care to admitbut can"t get the Anaconda installer to see a clear one terabyte drive. I re-partitioned it with Gparted and gave it an ext4 file system. The problem seems to be that I don't want LVM, choosing Standard Partition instead. It seems to want to reformat and install ext4 again? That's ok but it never happens ... It just keeps showing 0B used and 0B of free space? Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Is there a command line method to do the install instead of the GUI? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA
