Keep in mind as with anything 3rd party repos could lead to instability.
I’d advise against using rawhide, you’ll screw up your system if you do it wrong.
Your other option is to just wait. F29 beta is out soon as I mentioned, what’s the rush.
If it’s just a test system for you, go ahead and play with the copr repo. I’d wait until F29 beta if you want to try Fedora 29 (current rawhide) before release
This is never a good idea. The packaging system works well. Start making out of management changes and you’ll screw up your system if you don’t know what you’re doing. this is universal to almost all distros.
Fedora 28 seems to be working well for me in my limited time using it since upgrading.
I think I will stay on it for now.
RE: simply enabling rawhide may break your system if it tried to update other packages.
OK thanks for that advice . I want to try something that will let me install these new drivers as quickly as possible with least risk of wrecking the Fedora 28 installation.
OK I will start to investigate that: If you have anymore information that could help me I would appreciate it.
RE: Your other option is to slow down. F29 beta is out third week of September less than a month away, it’s really not that long away, and general release the month after.
I want to get some videos of the Steam Plays Beta out as soon as possible to Youtube.
Please note my channel is only for uploading test cases and is not monetized.
I am trying to promote this Steam Plays Beta because I think people need to be given an alternative to move away from Windows 10. Windows 7 Extended support ends Jan 14 2020. That is not long. You can get hold of Windows 8.1 keys but they are not meant to be sold.
So people are forced to use Windows 10 or Apple OS.
With so many here running Fedora 28, could you verify if the “updates available” icon (dnfdragora box) shows up consistently in the notification area when there are updates?
For me, this happens only once after a fresh boot. If I then close the icon (doesn’t disappear on its own if updates are installed from terminal), it never appears again until I reboot.
I check and install updates from the terminal since that feels faster, but I still like to have the visual cue when there are updates. I’m using MATE if it matters.
You’d need to look up the documentation I think. With gnome software for example this will show periodically when there are updates, but not just from dnf but for flatpaks and firmware updates (where supported) as well. Dnf alone won’t catch all these.
So gnome software may still show updates available even if you’ve updated dnf as itay show firmware or flatpaks updates.
Dnfdragona you’ll need to check what it’s actual functionality is.
This is a weird problem that I’ve found in Ubuntu 18.04 since I installed the last update from software manager. Now any drive that is ntfs will randomly unmount for about 30 seconds and remount. There’s no pattern. I’m not doing anything but looking around on the web, or watching YouTube vids, or on these forums. But randomly I’ll look on my desktop, and the drive icons will suddenly vanish and I’ll get a popup on the top bar that says that I’ve lost one of my windows drives. And a split second after that, the other ntfs drive will drop. And 30 seconds later, they’ll be back. For a random amount of time. Could this hurt my ntfs drives?
Hopefully there’s nothing wrong posting this here. Basically I’m having a weird issue with one of my disc drives and Ubuntu 18.04. Not sure if it’s Linux, SATA controllers, or the drive itself.
Hello, I have a problem setting up offlineimap . Here is what’s wrong:
Account sync gmail: *** Processing account gmail Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993 (gmail-remote) ERROR: Unknown SSL protocol connecting to host 'imap.gmail.com' for repository 'gmail-remote'. OpenSSL responded: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:726) *** Finished account 'gmail' in 0:00
Testing with openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993 gives SSL handshake has read 2954 bytes and written 391 bytes Verification: OK
So I guess everything is alright in that front.
Reading around only found a link to SO but that was relevant to Python 2.7 in homebrew, I’m on Debian Sid.
For reference, here is the relevant part of my .offlineimaprc
[Repository gmail-remote] auth_mechanisms = LOGIN type = Gmail remoteuser = [REDACTED]@gmail.com remotepasseval = mailpasswd("gmail") remoteport = 993 folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['[Gmail]/All Mail'] sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
And, for additional information, it seems like if I change the ssl and starttls lines to no, it still verifies the certificate, and if it remove the sslcacertfile line it just complains that there’s no use to having SSL on (even though ssl = no)
Sorry to bother you again. I ran a software update and I now have the following drivers installed:
OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 18.3.0-devel
I just tested Doom 2016 Vulkan and it gives 3FPS … OpenGL gives around 25.
Do you know the correct way to get back to running the Mesa 18.2.0-rc4 drivers?
I tried various dnf commands but failed.
This might be a problem with Vulkan performance on the Mesa Drivers and Vulkan though.
I note, for example, that Wolfenstein: The New Colossus only manages ~ 10 FPS.
Any help you could give me to help me try to roll back to Mesa 18.2.0-rc4 drivers quickly would help me push on with testing this quickly.
As a cross check I will go and install Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / AMDGPU/PRO installation and see how that performs in the meantime. It looks like the MESA Vulkan performance is very poor. It looks like something is broken.
Hmm ok, thanks. When I ran a phoronix benchmark, the system info for my run mentioned Clang + LLVM, while the reference from the article used GCC. I’d want to use the same for apples to apples comparison. Any idea how to have phoronix test suite use a given compiler?
Is it possible to have the drop down terminal gnome extension to appear right of the dock instead of under it? Currently its width is the whole screen meaning some of it is under the dock.
